Diffraction grating is the optical device which has periodic pattern. Decorative logotypes is the one of application of diffraction grating. In this paper diffraction grating for decorative logotype is fabricated by dot pattern in stead of line pattern. A metallic mold for diffraction gratings is fabricated with a mode-locked 12 ps Nd:YVO4 laser. Laser pulses with a wavelength of 355nm are irradiated on the surface of NOK 80, a mold material, to generate dot patterns. In order to minimize the dot diameter, laser power is set just above the ablation threshold of NOK 80. Results show that the spectrum from the fabricated mold is good enough for some industrial application

In this paper diffraction grating for decorative logotype is fabricated by dot pattern in stead of line pattern. A metallic mold for diffraction gratings is fabricated with a mode-locked 12 ps $Nd:YVO_4$ laser. Laser pulses with a wavelength of 355nm are irradiated on the surface of NOK 80, a mold material, to generate dot patterns. In order to minimize the dot diameter, laser power is set just above the ablation threshold of NOK 80. Results show that the spectrum from the fabricated mold is good enough for some industrial application.

The aim of our study was to evaluate the immediate effects of an 830-nm Aluminium gallium arsenide (GaAlAs) laser, by examining the changes, in pressure-pain threshold (PPT) and tenderness at 3 kg of the myofascial trigger point (MTrP) of the upper trapezius muscle in visual display terminal (VDT) workers in comparison with placebo treatment. Thirty VDT workers (13 males, 17 females) with complaints of upper trapezius muscle were recruited. All participants were given either active GaAlAs laser (830 nm wavelength, 450 mW, 9 J at point) or placebo GaAlAs laser, according to the double-blinded and placebo-controlled trial. Both active and placebo low-level laser therapy (LLLT) treatments showed no significant effect on PPT and tenderness at 3 kg. These results suggest that a higher dosage may be necessary to produce immediate effects when applying LLLT to the MTrP of relatively large muscles such as the upper trapezius muscle.

We propose the improved threshold current ratio method to determine the reflectivity of coated facets. The carrier recombination time used in the improved threshold current ratio method depends on the value of facet reflectivities. However, the carrier recombination time used in the conventional threshold current ratio method is constant regardless of facet reflectivities. The difference between the results of the two methods increases as the reflectivity of a coated facet decreases.

이 연구의 목적은 하악 이공부에 Nd:YAG 레이저 조사시 통증의 전달과 관련하여 감각신경전도 변화에 영향을 미치는지 조사하는 것이다. 각각 10 Hz와 20 Hz에 100 mJ/pulse의 조건으로 Nd:YAG 레이저를 하악 이공부에 비접촉식으로 5분간 조사하였다. 조사부위는 하악 이공부의 30 mm 지름을 가지는 원으로 설정하였고 조사부와 레이저 팁사이의 거리는 10 mm로 유지하여 원을 그리듯 움직이며 조사하였다. 이때의 출력밀도는 각각 $212\;mW/cm^2$과 $424\;mW/cm^2$이었다. Nd:YAG 레이저 조사 전과 후의 감각신경전도는 $Neurometer^{(R)}$ CPT/C를 이용하여 평가하였다. 그 결과 레이저 조사 전과 후 이공부에서의 전류인지역치(CPT)와 통증내성역치(PTT)를 얻었으며 통계처리를 거쳐 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 1. 2 W, 20 Hz 조건과 1 W, 10 Hz 조건으로 Nd:YAG 레이저를 조사한 경우 레이저 조사 전과 조사 후의 유의한 전류인지역치의 차이는 없었다. 2. 2 W, 20 Hz 조건과 1 W, 10 Hz 조건으로 Nd:YAG 레이저를 조사한 경우 레이저 조사 전과 조사 후의 유의한 통증내성역치의 차이는 없었다. 3. 1 W, 10 Hz 조건과 2 W, 20 Hz 조건으로 Nd:YAG 레이저를 조사하였을 때 두 군 사이 전류인지역치와 통증내성역치의 유의한 차이는 없었다. 따라서 우리는 하악 이공부에 Nd:YAG 레이저 조사가 이신경의 감각신경전도에 유의한 변화를 보이지 않음을 확인하였다.

We present a Yb-doped narrow-linewidth polarization-maintaining all-fiber amplifier that achieves a high mode-instability (MI) threshold, high output power, and 9.7-GHz spectral linewidth. Six wavelength-multiplexed laser diodes are used to pump this amplifier. First, we construct a high-power fiber amplifier based on a master oscillator-power amplifier configuration for experiments. Subsequently, we examine the MI threshold by individually pumping the amplifier with wavelengths of 976, 974, 981, 974, and 981 nm respectively. The experimental results demonstrate that the amplifier exhibits a high MI threshold (>3.5 kW) when pumped with a combination of wavelengths at 974 and 981 nm. Afterward, we inject an optimized phase-modulated seed with a nearly flat-top spectrum into this amplifier. Ultimately, laser output of 3.2 kW and 9.7 GHz are obtained.

반도체레이저로 단면 여기시킨 Nd:VAP 레이저의 내부공진기 제2고조파 출력특성을 조사하였다. 유도방출 단면적과 형광수명의 곱이 커 낮은 발진문턱 특성을 갖는 Nd:S-VAP 매질은 컴팩트한 마이크로칩 레이저에 적합하다. 내부공진기를 이용한 제2고조파 발진문턱에너지가 81 uJ로 측정되어 쉽게 발진됨을 확인하였다. 여기에너지 $2\mu\textrm{J}$에서 제2고조파 에너지 $126\mu\textrm{J}$을 얻었고, 내부공진기 제2고조파의 출력을 계산하여 이론적인 해석 근거를 제시하였다. Q-스위치된 제2고조파 출력은 펄스폭 26ns에 펄스당 에너지 $15\mu\textrm{J}$로 저출력에서도 시.공간적으로 깨끗한 펄스를 얻었으며, $M^2$도 1.47로 우수한 빔 특성을 나타내었다.

Mass removed from crystalline silicon samples during high power single-pulse laser ablation was studied by measuring the resulting crater morphology with a white light interferometric microscope. The volume and depth of the craters show a strong nonlinear change as the laser irradiance increases across a threshold value, that is, approximately $2.2{\times}10^{10}\;W/cm^2$. Time-resolved shadowgraph images of the ablation plume show the ejection of large particulates from the sample for laser irradiance above the threshold, with a time delay of about 300-400 nsec. The thickness of superheated liquid layer near the critical temperature was numerically estimated, considering the transformation of liquid metal into liquid dielectric near the critical state (i.e., induced transparency). The estimated thickness of the superheated layer at a delay time of 200 nsec agreed with the measured crater depths, suggesting that induced transparency promotes the formation of a deep superheated liquid layer which leads to an explosive boiling responsible for the sudden increase of crater volume and depth.

Photoacoustic generation of ultrasound is an effective approach for development of high-frequency and high-amplitude ultrasound transmitters. This requires an efficient energy converter from optical input to acoustic output. For such photoacoustic conversion, various light-absorbing materials have been used such as metallic coating, dye-doped polymer composite, and nanostructure composite. These transmitters absorb laser pulses with 5-10 ns widths for generation of tens-of-MHz frequency ultrasound. The short optical pulse leads to rapid heating of the irradiated region and therefore fast thermal expansion before significant heat diffusion occurs to the surrounding. In this purpose, nanocomposite thin films containing gold nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), or carbon nanofibers have been recently proposed for high optical absorption, efficient thermoacosutic transfer, and mechanical robustness. These properties are necessary to produce a high-amplitude ultrasonic output under a low-energy optical input. Here, we investigate carbon nanotube (CNT)-polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) composite transmitters and their nanostructure-originated characteristics enabling extraordinary energy conversion. We explain a thermoelastic energy conversion mechanism within the nanocomposite and examine nanostructures by using a scanning electron microscopy. Then, we measure laser-induced damage threshold of the transmitters against pulsed laser ablation. Particularly, laser-induced damage threshold has been largely overlooked so far in the development of photoacoustic transmitters. Higher damage threshold means that transmitters can withstand optical irradiation with higher laser energy and produce higher pressure output proportional to such optical input. We discuss an optimal design of CNT-PDMS composite transmitter for high-amplitude pressure generation (e.g. focused ultrasound transmitter) useful for therapeutic applications. It is fabricated using a focal structure (spherically concave substrate) that is coated with a CNT-PDMS composite layer. We also introduce some application examples of the high-amplitude focused transmitter based on the CNT-PDMS composite film.

PC-TEMs (Polycarbonate Track-Etched membranes) were micro-drilled for biomedical applications by ultrafast pulsed laser. The ablation and damage characteristics were studied on PE-TEMs by assuming porous thin membranes. The experiments were conducted in the range of 2.02 $J/cm^2$ and 8.07$J/cm^2$. The ablation threshold and damage threshold were found to be 2.56$J/cm^2$ and 1.14$J/cm^2$, respectively. While a conical shaped drilled holes was made in lower fluence region, straight shaped holes were drilled in higher fluence region. Nanoholes made the membrane as porous material and ablation characteristics for both bulk and thin film membranes were compared.
