Two hundred patients with acute and chronic pain were treated with a low power laser and 115 patients among them were divided into several groups by their pathology and evaluated their response rate to the laser therapy was evaluated through follow-up study. 1) The ages of patients were between the early twenties and late sixties, and there was no differences between sexes. 2) Degenerative spondylosis and chronic lumbar sprain were the most common diseases among those patients. 3) The average duration of therapy was about 16 days and response to the therapy appeared from the fourth day of laser therapy. 4) Acute lumbar sprain and acute spinal compression fracture showed rapid response to laser therapy. 5) The spinal pathology group was the most common at 37.5% of cases and the response rate to laser therapy was the lowest at 58.7%. 6) The articular pathology group occupied 24.6% and the response rate was the highest at 81.3%. 7). The response rate of the posttraumatic and postsurgical pathology group was 76.5%. 8) The response rate of the tendinous and sports pathology group was 75%. 9) The response rate of the miscellaneous group was 66.7%. 10) The mean response rate of all patients was 71.6%.

Apophis is a near-Earth object with a diameter of approximately 340 m, which will come closer to the Earth than a geostationary orbit in 2029, offering a unique opportunity for characterizing the object during the upcoming encounter. Therefore, Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute has a plan to propose a space mission to explore the Apophis asteroid using scientific instruments such as a laser altimeter. In this study, we evaluate the performance metrics of a laser altimeter using a pseudorandom noise modulation technique for the Apophis mission, in terms of detection probability and ranging accuracy. The closed-form expression of detection probability is provided using the cross correlation between the received pulse trains and pseudo-random binary sequence. And the new ranging accuracy model using Gaussian error propagation is also derived by considering the sampling rate. The operation range is significantly limited by thermal noise rather than background noise, owing to not only the low power laser but also the avalanche photodiode in the analog mode operation. However, it is demonstrated from the numerical simulation that the laser altimeter can achieve the ranging performance required for a proximity operation mode, which employs commercially available components onboard CubeSat-scale satellites for optical communications.

Decontamination of systems, structures and components (SSC) during the decommissioning of a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) can be for a variety of reasons. The main reasons for decontamination are: to reduce the contamination of SSC to a reasonably low level, to reduce the potential for the spread of contaminants into the environment and to reduce the cost of disposal due to the reduced level of contamination in a particular SSC. The decontamination technique can be aggressive or non-aggressive depending on the intent after the decontamination process. Aggressive decontamination technique is used when the intent is not to reuse the SSC while a non-aggressive decontamination technique is used with the intent of SSC reuse. For different SSCs there are different decontamination techniques that can be used, each having its own advantages and drawbacks. Metal components such as pipes in the nuclear power plant account for a large amount of nuclear wastes generated. Some of these wastes can be reused if the contaminant level is reduced to an acceptable level. Laser ablation is a non-aggressive decontamination technique that can be used to reduce the contamination in pipes to an acceptable level with no secondary waste generated during the process. The operation and control of a laser ablation device must be precise to achieve a high decontamination factor. This precision can be achieved by a well-designed motion control system. For this purpose, a motion control system was developed consisting of two parts: the first part being the precise control of the laser ablation device inside the pipe and the second part is the control of the laser ablation device outside the pipe. This paper describes the Systems Engineering approach for the development process of a motion control system for the Laser decontamination system.

The Ti-6Al-4V lattice structure is widely used in the aerospace industry owing to its high specific strength, specific stiffness, and energy absorption. The quality, performance, and surface roughness of the additively manufactured parts are significantly dependent on various process parameters. Therefore, it is important to study process parameter optimization for relative density and surface roughness control. Here, the part density and surface roughness are examined according to the hatching space, laser power, and scan rotation during laser-powder bed fusion (LPBF), and the optimal process parameters for LPBF are investigated. It has high density and low surface roughness in the specific process parameter ranges of hatching space (0.06-0.12 mm), laser power (225-325 W), and scan rotation (15°). In addition, to investigate the compressive behavior of the lattice structure, a finite element analysis is performed based on the homogenization method. Finite element analysis using the homogenization method indicates that the number of elements decreases from 437,710 to 27 and the analysis time decreases from 3,360 to 9 s. In addition, to verify the reliability of this method, stress-strain data from the compression test and analysis are compared.

본 논문에서는 저 전류 및 고 효율로 동작하는 planar buried heterostructure(PBH) 구조로 sampled grating(SG) distributed bragg reflector(DBR) laser diode(LD)를 처음으로 설계하고 제작하였다. 특히 활성층과 도파로층의 높은 결합 효율을 얻기 위해 건식 식각과 습식 식각을 같이 사용하여 결함이 거의 없는 butt-coupling(BT) 계면을 형성하였다. 제작된 파장 가변레이저의 평균 발진 임계전류는 약 12 mA로 ridged waveguide(RWG)와 buried ridge stripe(BRS) 구조로 제작된 결과 보다 두 배 정도 낮게 나타났으며, 광 출력은 200 mA에서 약 20 mW 정도로 RWG 와 BRS 보다 각각 9 mW, 13 mW 더 우수하게 나타났다. 그리고 파장 가변 영역을 측정한 결과 44 nm로 설계결과와 일치하였으며, 최대 파장 가변 영역 안에서 출력 변화 폭이 5 dB 이내로서 RWG 구조의 9 dB보다 출력변화 폭이 4 dB 적게 나타났다. 전체 파장 가변 영역에서 SMSR이 35 dB 이상으로 나타났다.

본 논문은 로이유리(Low emissivity glass) 표면에 증착되어 있는 금속박막의 전도 특성을 이용하여 발열유리(Heatable glass)를 제작하는 방법에 대해 제안한다. 로이유리의 발열량은 로이유리 표면저항에 의한 주울(Joule) 열에 의존하므로 소재의 표면저항을 측정함으로써 예측 및 설계가 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 저방사층이 11nm인 소프트로이유리 시료에 각 50mm 간격으로 은(Ag) 전극을 형성시키고, 4단자법으로 면저항을 측정하여 로이유리의 소비전력과 발열량을 예측한 후에, 제작 및 실험을 통해 발열성능을 확인하였다. 기존의 발열유리 제작방법은 크게 두 가지로 일반유리(Normal glass)에 니크롬(Nichrome) 열선을 삽입하는 방법과, 일반유리에 전도성 투명박막을 증착하는 방법이 있다. 니크롬 열선 삽입 방식은 발열성능은 우수하나 유리 고유의 투명성을 저해하고, 전도성 투명박막을 증착하는 방법은 투명성은 양호하나 공정이 복잡하여 실용성이 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 주로 건축물의 단열효과 향상을 위해 사용되는 로이유리를 이용하여 로이유리 전면에 코팅되어 있는 전도성 금속박막에 레이저 빔을 조사하여 원하는 발열성능을 가지는 발열유리를 제작하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 기존의 니크롬 열선을 삽입하는 방법에 비해 투명성이 양호하고, 전도성 투명박막을 증착하는 방법에 비해 제작과정이 보다 수월함을 확인하였다. 아울러, 레이저를 조사하여 로이유리의 표면 박막을 패터닝(Patterning) 하는 형태에 따른 발열특성의 비교와 로이유리에 적합한 레이저 출력조건을 제시하고자 한다.

In this paper, the low price signal generator with capability of frequency high-resolution and variable sync pulse has implemented. It fulfils well the requirements for SS-OCT of the frequency resolution less than 1Hz, frequency stability of ${\leq}{\pm}0.5Hz$/10 min and variable sync pulse output timing. Through its performance test applied to wavelength swept laser, 120 nm sweeping range and 10 mW average optical power were obtained. This shows that the realized sine-wave generator can replace the commercial high cost and high performance signal generators employed by current SS-OCT systems.

Eosin을 첨가한 boric acid 유리질 포화흡수체의 포화세기는 비교적 낮은 것으로(약 700 mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$) 측정되었고, 세기가 낮은 경우에서도 축퇴4광파혼합에 의해 광학적 위상공액파를 발생시킬 수 있었다. 파장이 488nm인 Ar-ion laser를 사용하여 이 매질에서 DFWM에 의한 위상공액파의 편광특성을 보였고, 위상공액 반사율의 빛의 세기와 파장에 대한 의존성을 측정하였다. 이 매질에서 비축퇴2광파혼합에 의한 에너지 교환은 두 광속의 주파수차가 약 100 Hz 정도인 경우에 최대가 되었다.

We propose a high voltage dc-dc converter for CW(continuous wave) $CO_2$ laser system using a current resonant half-bridge inverter and a Cockcroft-Walton circuit. This high voltage power supply includes a 2-stage voltage multiplier driven by a regulated half-bridge series resonant inverter. The inverter drives a step-up transformer and the transformer secondary is applied to the voltage multiplier. Thus, it has high efficiency because of the less switching losses by virtue of the current resonant half-bridge inverter, and also compact size, small parasitic capacitance in the transformer stage owing to the low number of a winding turn of the step up transformer secondary by combining with Cockroft-Walton circuit. We could be obtained the maximum laser output power of 44 W and the maximum system efficiency of over 16 %.
