Fabrication of micro carbon structures and patterns using laser-assisted chemical vapor deposition is studied. Argon ion laser and ethylene were used to grow micro carbon rod through pyrolytic decomposition of the reaction gas. The influence of reaction gas pressure and incident laser power on the diameter and growth rate of the micro carbon rod was experimentally investigated. The diameter of micro carbon rods increases linearly with respect to the laser power but is almost independent of the reaction gas pressure. Growth rate of the rod changes little with gas pressure when the laser power remains below 1W. When the carbon rod was grown at near threshold laser power, a very smooth surface is obtained on the rod. By continuously moving the focusing lens in the direction of growth, a micro carbon rod with a diameter of 28 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and aspect ratio of 100 was fabricated.

Accuracy and processing time are very important factors when the desired shape is fabricated with Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), one of Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) systems. In a conventional SLS process, laser spot size is fixed during laser exposing on the sliced figure. Therefore, it is difficult to accurately and rapidly fabricate the desired shape. In this paper, to deal with those problems an SFF system having ability of changing spot size is developed. The system provides high accuracy and optimal processing time. Specifically, a variable beam expander is employed to adjust spot size for different figures on a sliced shape. Finally, Design and performance estimation of the SFF system employing a variable beam expander are achieved and the mechanism will be addressed to measure the real spot size generated from the variable beam expander.

In this study, we have developed a new $UV(\lambda=355nm)$ laser micromachining technology by direct ablation method without masks. This technology allows that 3D micro parts can be fabricated rapidly and efficiently with a low price. And it has a benefit of reducing fabricating process simply. Due to micro parts' fabrication, such technologies need the control of XYZ stages with high precision, the design of optical devices to maintain micron spot sizes of laser beam and the control technology of laser focus. Also, we have fabricated a micro-channel through the developed laser micromachining technology and verified it through the results.

An optical technique to align the laser beam with the rotation axis of a cylindrical microstructure is developed for laser microfabrication. The sample surface is first set normal to the rotation axis by applying a simple reflection law of geometrical optics and then the laser beam is aligned with the rotation axis using translation stages with quadrant photodiodes. Principle and the configuration of the alignment technique are described. An application of the present technique to laser microstereolithography showed that it could be effectively used for fabrication of micro cylindrical structures.

In recent years, there has been highly interestedin pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method for fabrication of the organic thin films, as an alternative to conventional fabrication method such as vacuum evaporation and spin coating techniques. In this study, organic thin films of $Alq_3$ (aluminato-tris-8-hydroxyquinolate) and TPD for organic light emitting diodes (OLED) were deposited by PLD using KrF excimer ($\lambda$=278 nm) laser in nitrogen atmosphere. Deposited films were evaluated by photoluminescence(PL), Fourier-transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) to study the effect of the laser and $N_2$ atmosphere parameters on the structural and optical properties.

Fiber Bragg gratings have many applications such as fiber sensors, band-stop filters, add-drop filters, and mode convertors. In this paper, we present the fabrication method of various fiber Bragg gratings by using continuous wave UV-Argon(frequency-doubled Argon) laser. In our experiments, hydrogenation of fibers was used to enhance photosensitivity of fiber. And we fabricated fiber gratings by the phase mask method.

For many years and primarily for economical reasons, Dissimilar Metal Welds have been used as transition joints in a variety of equipment and applications. But Dissimilar Metal Welds have several fabrication and metallurgical drawbacks that can often lead to in-service failures. For example, the most pronounced fabrication faults are hot cracks. Laser welding techniques have been characterised for various materials. In this paper, the laser weldability of STS304 stainless steel and SM45C at dissimilar metal welds using a continuous wave Nd：YAG laser are experimentally investigated. An experimental study was conducted to determine effects of welding parameters, on eliminating or reducing the extent welding zone formation at dissimilar metal welds and to optimize those parameters that have the most influence parameters such as focus length, power, beam speed, shielding gas, and wave length of laser were tested

The fabrication of micro-size patterning on alumina substrate is generated by laser direct writing, which has high precision and selectivity of various laser beam energies. The depth and width of patterns is affected by laser parameter such as laser power, scan rate. Through the chemical and mechanical polishing Pd seeds was effectively got rid of alumina substrate for selectivity electroless Ni plating. Thermal treatment is good method for changing electrical property of conductor line, because the treatment can control of the grain size.
