We discuss two possibilities of using femtosecond pulse lasers as a new interferometric light source fer enhanced precision surface profile metrology. First, a train of ultra-fast laser pulses yields repeated low temporal coherence, which allows performing unequal-path scanning interferometry that is not feasible with white light. Second, high spatial coherence of femtosecond pulse lasers enables to test large size optics in non-symmetric configurations with relatively small size reference surfaces. These two advantages are verified experimentally using Fizeau and Twyman-Green type scanning interferometers.

As technology advances at a rapid rate, innovations in regenerative medicine will eventually include the use of energy-based therapeutics, such as low intensity-pulsed ultrasound stimulation (LIPUs), pulsed electromagnetic field stimulation (PMFs), and low-level laser/light therapy (LLLt) or photobiomodulation therapy (PBMt). Among these treatments, LLLt/PBMt attracted significant attention by the turn of the century, as evidenced by the numerous publications compared to LIPUs and PMFs, particularly for augmented bone regeneration (ABR). This is a testament of how the maturation of technology and scientific knowledge leads to latent compounded applications, even when the value of a technique is reliant on empirical data. This article reviews some of the notable investigations using LLLt/PBMt for bone regeneration published in the past decade, focusing on how this type of therapy has been utilized together with the existing regenerative medicine landscape.

Purpose: This study was performed to identify and investigate the therapeutic effects of low-level laser (LLL) combined with a light-emitting diode (LED) on post-operative wound healing and functional recovery after hand orthopedic surgery. Methods: The study subjects were twenty patients who had passed the acute inflammatory phase after hand orthopedic surgery and were assigned equally to an experimental or a control group. Phototherapy was administered three times weekly for two weeks. Changes in wound length, edema, pain, and hand function were measured. Results: Significant differences in wound length, edema, pain, and hand function were observed between the experimental and control groups (p<0.05). However, no significant intergroup difference was observed (p>0.05). Nonetheless, a comparison of results showed changes in the experiment group over the two-week study period were significantly greater than in the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: These findings show that combined LLL plus LED phototherapy positively influences post-operative hand rehabilitation.

For increasing the output voltage, six SMD(surface mount device) type AlGaAs/GaAs solar cells were connected in series. The electrical properties of the array were measured and compared with one sun (100 mW/$cm^2$) and indoor light (480 lux) conditions. Under one sun condition, output power was 21.57 mW and it was $14.67\;{\mu}W$ under indoor light condition. Under the indoor light condition, the intensity of the light is very low compared to one sun condition. Thus the Voc(open circuit voltage) and Isc (short circuit current) of the sample under indoor light condition decreased very much compared to that of under the one sun condition. This kind of solar cell power supply can be used as a power source for ubiquitous sensor network (USN).

For several years, many researchers have proposed LED backlight dimming technology for low power consumption and high contrast ratio. One of the major issues plaguing RGB LED with 2D dimming technology is color shift. This undesirable variation makes it difficult to use RGB LED as light sources in the backlight system. This paper describes the useful method of the optical feedback system for 2D dimming RGB LED backlight. The test results show that our proposed method is very suitable for the 2D dimming technology.

In recent years, there has been a remarkable progress in the development of the fiber optic sensors for the detection of various chemicals. Fiber optic sensors have the advantages of very small size, flexibility and low cost. The fiber optic sensors employing different optical or spectroscopic phenomena have been reported such as bulk absorption, optical reflectance, fluoresces and energy transfer. In this study, the effect of nanoparticle concentration in liquid upon light absorption and scattering was studied using extrinsic fiber optic method. For the evaluation, we used Red (650 nm) and Blue (430 nm) light sources which are coupled through the standard cuvette using optical fiber to detector. The experiments are carried out with Polystyrene latex (400 - 800 nm), and Silicon (35 - 110 nm) nanoparticles suspended in Isopropanol. Differences in light absorption and scattering depending on nanoparticle concentration and type are discussed. This method may be useful to study nanoparticles properties for various application and research.

Because both $TiO_2$ and ZnO has superior characteristic optically and electrically, there are various of research for these materials. However, they have large band gap energy which correspond with not visible light, but UV light. To make up for this disadvantage, Quantum dots (CdS, CdSe) which can absorb the visible light could be deposited on $ZnO/TiO_2$ nanostructure so that the the photoelectrochecmical cell can absorb the light that has larger region of wavelength. Both $TiO_2$ and ZnO can be grown to one-dimensional nanowire structure at low temperature through solutional method. Three-dimensional hierarcical $ZnO/TiO_2$ nanostructure is fabricated by applying these process. Large surface area of this structure make the light absorbed more efficiently. Through type 2 like-cascade energy band structure of nanostructure, the efficient separation of electron-hole pairs is expected. Photoelectrochemical charateristics are found by using these nanostructure to photoelectrode.

In this study, strain properties of high strength concrete using light weight aggregate which is widely used in recent years are evaluated. For these purpose, thermal strain, transient creep were measured in prestressed condition as 0, 20, 40% of specimen strength at target temperature with 60MPa specimens which was using normal and light weight aggregate. As a result, light weight aggregate is more advantageous for the control of strain than normal aggregate because of its low thermal expansion.

Effect of light quality on plant temperatures at joining parts of grafted watermelon seedlings was investigated using a thermal imaging system in this study. Plant temperatures at joining parts lowered than those at stem region during graft-taking. However, difference in plant temperatures at joining parts and at stem region decreased by days after graft-taking. Plant temperatures of grafted seedlings graft-taken under white, blue, red, and blue + red fluorescent lamps repeatedly fluctuated high at photoperiod and low at dark period. Considering the variation of plant temperatures at joining pa퍼5, the illumination of blue and red light as well as white light will be effective for grafting of grafted watermelon seedlings. It is recommended that air temperature around grafted seedlings should be maintained at 27 to $29^{\circ}C$ for enhancing the physiological reaction of callus and for the smooth joining of scion and rootstock.

Holographic data storage system(HDSS) has many noise sources - crosstalk, scattering and inter pixel interference, etc. Generally the intensity of a light generated from the laser source has Gaussian distribution and this ununiformity of light also can make the data page to have a low SNR. A beam apodizer is used to make the laser as a flat-top beam but the intensity distribution is not strictly uniform. The intensity of light can be controlled using image mask. In this paper the intensity distribution of light used for HDSS is controlled by a digital image mask. The digital image mask is changed arbitrarily in real-time with suggested algorithm for the HDSS.
