The excitation wavelength dependence of laser ablation dynamics of an azobenzene-containing urethane-urea copolymer film was investigated by measuring the laser fluence dependence of etch depth, transient absorbance change at each excitation wavelength, and transient absorption spectra. Moreover expansion/contraction dynamics was studied by applying nanosecond time-resolved interferometry. The threshold was determined at several excitation wavelengths from etch depth measurement, while time-integrated absorbance was obtained under excitation conditions. The photon energy required to remove the topmost of surface layer of the film did not .depend on excitation wavelength, and the penetration depth of excitation pulse dominated the etch depth. When the excitation wavelength was longer than 500 nm, permanent swelling was clearly observed but not for shorter wavelength excitation. In the latter case, photoisomerization occurred during excitation and the following photoreduction may play an important role. On the basis of the observations made in this study, a photochemical and photothermal mechanisms can explain mostly the short and long wavelength excitation results, respectively.

Excitations of eight pumping transitions for nitric oxide fluorescence imaging are analyzed under equivalent experimental conditions to determine the detection. Frequency mixed dye laser pumping, 1st anti-Stokes $H_2$ Raman of KrF excimer laser pumping and ArF excimer laser pumping show good sensitivities.

We have studied on operational characteristics of the nitrogen laser with sliding discharge and longitudinal excitation. We could observe radiation of nitrogen laser excited by a sliding discharge along the surface of a dielectric. The shape of the beam was a ring type which had 2 mm or 4mm in diameter depending on the sliding discharge tube shape. In this experiment, We show the possibilities to make other shapes of laser beam, for example, rectangle, ellipse, and to excite another gas laser system like an excimer laser.

We have developed Magnetic Pulse Compression System to realize repetitive excimer laser excitation. The principle of this system is to use the large change in permiability owing to the nolinear characteristics of ferro-magnetic material (Metglas2605s-2 metal ribon). Prior to the laser operation, the MPC system was tested with a dummy load (5$\Omega$) and laser head. Laser head has a discharge volume of 1.0 (w) x 2.0 (h) x 20.0(1) cm. This MPC system compressed a 6.2us (FWHM), 80 A pulse into a 0.4us(FWHM), 1.3kA pulse.

In the geochemical field, the chemical speciation of hexavalent uranium (U(VI)) has been widely investigated by performing measurements to determine its luminescence properties, namely the excitation, emission, and lifetime. Of these properties, the excitation has been relatively overlooked in most time-resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS) studies. In this study, TRLFS and continuous-wave excitation-emission matrix spectroscopy are adopted to characterize the excitation properties of U(VI) surface species that interact with amorphous silica. The luminescence spectra of U(VI) measured from a silica suspension and silica sediment showed very similar spectral shapes with similar lifetime values. In contrast, the excitation spectra of U(VI) measured from these samples were significantly different. The results show that distinctive excitation maxima appeared at approximately 220 and 280 nm for the silica suspension and silica sediment, respectively.

2-color 3-step resonance photoionization scheme has been used for selective photoionization of mercury isotopes. The levels of $6^3P_1$ and $6^1D_2$ were selected as intermediate excited levels, and the laser wavelengths used were 253.7 nm for the first excitation and 313.2 nm for the second excitation and ionization. Selective excitation for individual isotope was realized in the first excitation step with a single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) dye laser rrf ~700 MHz linewidth. For the second excitation and ionization step, a dye laser with relatively large linewidth of ~5 GHz was used. In this work the effect of laser intensities on isotope selectivity was analyzed from the mass spectra obtained in real time from the time-of-flight mass spectrometer.

The gaseous molecular condensation retardation by laser excitation has been known, but with limited success. Condensation inhibition between the gas phase molecules by laser excitation was clearly shown in many experiments.(1)-(2) However, surface condensation inhibition of the excited molecules has been controversial for the last several decades.(3)-(4) In 1994, S. J, Sibener and Y. T. Lee published an experimental evidence of the internal energy dependence of the surface condensation of gaseous $SF_{6}$ and $CCl_4$ molecules. (omitted)

CF & $CF_2$ radicals in a $C_4F_8$ inductively coupled plasma were observed with laser induced fluorescence. 251.9nm UV laser was used for the $CF_2$ excitation and 265.3nm UV emitted light for the detection which has the maximum intensity among many induced fluorescence lights. In the case of CF radical detection, 232.9nm UV laser was used for the excitation and 247.6nm for the detection. $CF_2$ radical density increased toward substrate, while CF radical had its maximum at about 10nm away from the substrate. The atomic fluorine density which was studied by the actinometry increased as the position moves away from the substrate. This phenomena was thought to have a close relation with the polymer growth on the wafer. When the bias voltage increased, $CF_2$ , CF radicals decreased while the atomic fluorine increased tio some extent and then decreased, which was thought to be due to the change in the ionization and dissociation.

Single pulse laser excitation at 656 nm and successive pulse excitation at 635.2 and 648.4 nm produced blue emission at 480 nm by two-step upconversion process in Tm/sup 3+/:LaF/sub 3/. The excited-state absorption cross-section of the /sup 3/F/sub 4/ to /sup 1/G/sub 4/ transition was estimated by a looping mechanism with cross-relaxation processes. The dynamics of up-conversion andthe possibility of the photon avalanche by a pulse laser excitation were studied by numerical simulation with the rate equation model.

Diode-laser-pumped Tm:YAG laser of wavelength $2.02\mu\textrm{m}$has been manufactured and its excitation efficiency and output characteristics have been investigated. The excitation efficiency was varied from 66 to 68% with respect to the pump power, yielding pump power absorption of 87-89%. The output power was sensitively varied with the temperature of Tm:YAG rod. When the concave output coupler with a focal length of 25 mm and a transmittance of 3% was used, the maximum output power reached up to 1.2 W. The slope and optical efficiency of this Tm: YAG laser was 29% and 20% at $6^{\circ}C$, respectively.tively.
