The distribution of volume fraction, mean diameter and number density of soot particles are measured quantitatively in a co-flow ethylene diffusion flame using a simultaneous LII/LIS measurement technique. The LII/LIS system and the measured values are, respectively, calibrated and evaluated by comparing to the informations obtained from laser light. extinction/scattering experiments, LII signal shows some sensitivity to the laser light intensity when laser power density exceeds a certain value(threshold). It is also found that there is an optimal laser intensity and a delay time in order to obtain the best result using the simultaneous LII/LIS measurement technique.

Quantum dots were designed within a GRIN-SCH(Graded index - Separate confinement Heterostructure) heterostructure to create a high power InAlAs/AlGaAs laser diode. 808 nm light emission was with a quantum dot composition of In0.665Al0.335As and wetting layer composition of Al0.2Ga0.8As by LASTIP simulation software. Typical characteristics of GRIN structures such as high confinement ratios and Gaussian beam profiles were shown to still apply when quantum dots are used as the active media. With a dot density of 1.0x1011 dots/cm2, two quantum dot layers were found to be good enough for low threshold, high-power laser applications.

The photonic quantum ring (PQR) laser is a three dimensional whispering gallery (WG) mode laser and has anomalous quantum wire properties, such as microampere to nanoampere range threshold currents and ${\sqrt{T}}$-dependent thermal red shifts. We observed uniform bottom emissions from a 1-kb smart pixel chip of a $32{\times}32$ InGaAs PQR laser array flip-chip bonded to a 0.35 ${\mu}m$ CMOS-based PQR laser driver. The PQR-CMOS smart pixel array, now operating at 30 MHz, will be improved to the GHz frequency range through device and circuit optimization.

Thin solid film systems polarizing beam splitter and disk amplifier used in the high power laser system ({{{{ lambda }}0=1060nm) are designed by computer aided optimization technique. Extinction ratio of designed polarizing beam splitter for incidence angle 30$^{\circ}$, 45$^{\circ}$, 55.60$^{\circ}$ are 1:93, 1:895, 1:1991. respectively. Maximum reflectance of designed thin film system of disk amplifier is less than 3% for pumping band (500-900nm) and 0.15% for laser beam. Further, SiO film chosen as one of the suitable thin films in the high power laser system is prepared by the sol=-gel process which gives high damage threshold. When the withdrawal speed is 6.15cm/min -16.62 cm/min and the mixing ratio is in the range of 1 mol (ethylsilicate): 4-8mol(ethylalcohol) : 2mol(water), the thickness of deposited film is in the range of 500{{{{ ANGSTROM }}-1500{{{{ ANGSTROM }}.

The PDP(Plasma Display Panel) barrier rib was fabricated by focused $Ar^+$ laser ($\lambda$=514nm) and Nd:YAG($\lambda$=532, 266 nm) laser irradiation. The depth of the etched groove increases with increasing a laser fluence. and decreasing a scan speed. Using the second harmonic of the Nd:YAG laser, the threshold laser fluence was $6.5mJ/cm^2$ for the sample of PDP barrier rib dried at $120^{\circ}C$. The thickness of $150{\mu}m$ of the sample on the glass was etched without any damage on the glass substrate by fluence of $19.5J/cm^2$. The barrier rib sample on hot plate was etched by Nd:YAG laser(532 nm) as increasing a temperature of the sample. In this case, the etch rate was $95{\mu}m/s$, $190{\mu}m/s$ at room temperature, $175^{\circ}C$ respectively.

The lasing characteristics of a Nd:phosphate glass laser pumped by 514 nm of an $Ar^{+}$ laser has been investigated. The oscillator consists of a Nd:glass gain medium set at Brewster angle, and two concave mirrors, and a flat mirror with a reflectance of 98%. The $Ar^{+}$ laser pumping beam is focused longitudinally at the beam waist of laser mode for efficient pumping. The pumping beam is chopped at 100 Hz to reduce the heat loading to prevent the thermal damage of the gain medium by the latent heat from the absorbed pumping beam. The maximum laser output power of 70 mW at 1.5 W pumping and the threshold input power of 520 mW have been obtained.

We have fabricated and designed wavelength-tunable sampled grating distributed Bragg reflector laser diodes(SGDBR-LD) by using, for the first time, planar buried heterostructures(PBH). The diodes have low threshold current values and high-performance of laser operation. Growth condition using metal organic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD) was optimized for the formation of a good butt-coupling at the interface. A maximum output power of the fabricated device was 20 mW under 200 mA continuous wave(CW) operation at $25^{\circ}C$. Average threshold current and voltage were 12 mA and 0.8 V, approximately. This output power is higher than those of ridge waveguide(RWG) and buried ridge stripe(BRS) structures by amounts of 9 mW and 13 mW, respectively. We obtained a tuning range of 44.4nm which is well matched with the target value of our design. The side mode suppression ratio of more than 35 dB was obtained for the whole tuning range. Optical output power variation was less than 5 dB, which is 4 dB smaller than that of RWG structures.

Purpose : This study was performed to evaluate the effects of magnetic therapy (MT) on pain threshold, blood flow, and balance in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Methods : A single-blind, randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted with 30 patient with knee osteoarthritis. They were randomly allocated 2 groups; magnetic therapy group (MTG; n=15) and placebo magnetic therapy group (PG; n=15). The MTG group received 30 minutes magnetic therapy and 20 minute conservative physical therapy (Hotpack, ICT), magnetic therapy was conducted in magnetic therapy device (OM-100, NUGA, Korea). In the placebo magnetic group received 30 minutes placebo magnetic therapy and 20 minute conservative physical therapy. Each group performed 50 minutes a day 3 times a week for 8 weeks. The primary outcome pressure pain threshold test, blood flow, balance ability were measured by a pressure threshold meter (Commander algometer, JTECH medical, USA), laser dofler image (Moor LDI2-IR, Moor instruments, USA), balance measurement system (BioRescue, Marseille, France). The measurement were performed before and after the 8 weeks intervention period. Results : Both groups demonstrated significant improvement of outcome in pain threshold, blood flow, and balance ability during intervention period. magnetic therapy group revealed significant differences in pain threshold, blood flow, and balance as compared to the placebo magnetic therapy group groups (p<.05). Our results showed that magnetic therapy was more effective than placebo therapy on pain threshold, blood flow, and balance in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Conclusion : Our findings indicate that magnetic therapy can improve pain threshold, blood flow, and Balance, highlight the benefits of magnetic therapy. This study will be able to be used as an intervention data for recovering pain threshold, blood flow, and balance in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

In this paper, the laser cutting characteristics of the flexible PCB using high power Nd:YAG UV laser were investigated. A specific FPCB model was selected for the experiment. Test sheets were made, which had equal materials and layer structure to those of the outline (OL) region and the contact pad (CP) region in the FPCB. The experiment is made up of two stages. In the first stage of the experiment, the laser cutting fluence was found, which is the threshold fluence to cut the test sheets completely. The laser cutting fluence of the OL sheet is $1781.26{\sim}1970.16\;J/cm^2$ and that of the CP sheet is $2109.34{\sim}2134.34\;J/cm^2$. In the second stage, cutting performance and its qualities were analyzed by the experiment. The laser cutting performance remained almost unchanged for all laser and process parameter sets. The average cutting width (top side/bottom side) of the OL sheet was $40.45\;{\mu}m/11.52\;{\mu}m$ and that of the CP sheet was $22.14\;{\mu}m/10.93\;{\mu}m$. However, the laser cutting qualities were different according to the parameters. The adjacent region of the cutting line on the OL sheet was carbonized as the beam speed was low and the overlap coefficient was high. The surface quality around the cutting line of the CP sheet was about the same. Carbonization and debris occurred on the surface of the cutting line. As a result of the experiment, the cutting qualities were better as the overlap coefficient was made low and beam speed high. Therefore, the overlap coefficient 2 or 3 is proper for the FPCB laser cutting.

The experiments were designated to evaluate the anti-nociceptive effect of low power laser stimulation on acupoint or non-acupoint using arthrogenic solution induced poly arthritis animal model. Evaluation of potential antinociceptive effect of low power laser on arthritis has employed measurements of the foot bending test, the development of either thermal or mechanical hyperalgesia following the arthritis induction. The analysis of thermal hyperalgesia includes Hargreaves's method. Randall-Sellitto test was utilized for evaluating mechanical hyperalgesia. In addition, the antinociceptive effect of low power laser stimulation on arthritis induced spinal Fos expression was analyzed using a computerized image analysis system. The results were summerized as follows: 1. In laser stimulation on acupoint treated animal, laser stimulation dramatically inhibited the development of pain in foot bending test as compared to those of non acupoint treated animal group and non treated animal group. 2. The threshold of thermal stimulation was significantly increased by low power laser stimulation on acupoint as compared to that of non treated control group. 3. Laser stimulation on acupoint dramatically attenuated the development of mechanical hyperalgesia as compared to that of non treated group. 4. Low power laser stimulation on acupoint significantly suppressed arthritis induced Fos expression in the lumbar spinal cord at 3 week post arthritis induction. In conclusion, the results of the present study demonstrated that low power laser stimulation on acupoint has potent anti-nociceptive effect on arthritis. Additional supporting data for an antinociceptive effect of laser stimulation was obtained using Fos immunohistochemical analysis on spinal cord section. Those data indicated that laser stimulation induced antinociception was mediated by suppression of spinal neuron activity in pain sensation.
