There is growing interest in minimizing postoperative scarring after a thyroidectomy. Among the many treatment types, laser therapy, especially picosecond-domain laser therapy, is accepted as a standard method. In the present case, a patient with a pigmented, contracted scar was treated using the combination of a picosecond laser and ablative fractional (AF) CO₂ laser. After 15 sessions of 1,064-nm picosecond with micro lens array (MLA) and AF CO₂ laser application, the patient showed significant improvement in their pigmented lesions and scar contracture with no noticeable side effects for 16 months. These results suggest that a combination of picosecond laser with MLA and AF CO₂ laser can treat pigmented, contracted scars safely and effectively.

유동장의 2차원 평면 속도 분포를 측정하기 위하여 two-color PIV 기법을 개발하였고, 마하 2.0 초음속 노즐에 적용하여 보았다 이 기법은 single-color PIV 기법과 유사하나 서로 다른 색의 두 레이저 빔을 사용하여 방향성의 문제를 해결하는 차이점을 갖는다. 녹색의 레이저 평면광 (532 nm)과 적색의 레이저 평면광 (619 nm)이 주입된 입자를 조사하기 위하여 사용되었고, 입자 위치가 고해상도 (3060${\times}$2036) 디지털 칼라 CCD 카메라에 기록되었다. 이러한 디지털 칼라 CCD 카메라론 이용한 two-color PIV 시스템은 사진 필름 현상 시간과 이에 따른 디지털화하는 시간 그리고 방향성의 문제론 해결하기 위해 사용되는 일반적인 image shifting 기법과 관련된 어려움을 제거해 준다. 또한 고속 유동장에서는 알맞은 입자 밀도의 주입이 어려워지는데, two-color PIV는 높은 신호 대 잡음비로 인하여 속도 벡터론 얻기 위해서 조사영역에 존재해야 하는 벡터쌍의 수가 줄어들게 된다. 따라서 다른 색의 두레이저 빔의 시간 간격을 조절함으로써 고속 유동장의 속도 분포를 쉽고 정확하게 측정할 수 있게 된다. 마하 2.0 초음속 노즐에서의 속도 분포가 측정되었으며, 속도장으로부터 변형률장을 구하여 과팽창 충격파 구조를 예측해 보았다. Two-color PIV에 의해 얻어진 속도 분포와 충격파의 위치 결과는 schlieren 사진과 비교 분석해 보았다.

OH radical concentration have been measured in a methane-air partially premixed flames using PLIF. Excitation lines were selected $Q_{1}(6)$ branch, (1,0) band. The system is consisted of Nd:YAG laser, dye laser and frequency doubler to make pump beam for OH radical. On the direct photographs, flame height increases as fuel flow rate and equivalence ratio increase. And on the PLIF images, OH radical is distributed from premixed flame front to nonpremixed flame front through the flame structure with all equivalence ratio. OH overall concentrations increase with equivalence ratio. At the stoichiometric equivalence ratio, the peak of OH radical concentration exists strongly near the inner cone. As equivalence ratio is changed to richer, OH radical distribution goes thinly and the peak is increased as longitudinal direction. As the flow goes to the downstream, OH radical concentration decreases and broadens, because OH radical reacts with another species after OH formation at the initial oxidization. This phenomenon resembles radial distribution. At the l00cc fuel flowrate, the radial peak of OH radical exists from x/R=l.0 to 1.5.

The effect of laser welding and surface treatment, developed as a method of repairing steam generator tubes, on the pitting corrosion resistance of alloy 690 was examined. The surfaces of some heat-treated Alloy 690 materials were melt-treated using the Nd-YAG laser beam, and then examined to characterize the microstructures. The resistance to pitting corrosion was evaluated by measuring of Ep(pitting potential) through the electrochemical tests and also by measuring the degree of pit generation through the immersion tests. The pit formation characteristics were investigated by observing microstructural changes and pit morphologies. The results show that the resistance to pitting corrosion increases in the order of the following list; solution annealed Alloy 690, thermally treated Alloy 690, and laser surface melt-treated Alloy 690. The melted region was found to have a cellular structure and fine precipitates. It was confirmed that the resistance of Alloy 690 to pit initiation and also to pit propagation was higher when it was laser treated than treated otherwise.

A spacer grid assembly, which is an interconnected array of slotted grid straps and is welded at the intersections to form an egg crate structure, is one of the main structural components of the nuclear fuel assembly for Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs). The weld quality of spacer grids in PWRs fuel is extremely important for the fuel assembly performance in the nuclear renter. The spacer grid welds are currently evaluated mainly by the metallographic examination although it reveals only cross-points which are welded by the laser beam. This experiment is also to compare the weldability of Zircaloy-4 spacer grids using by the GTA and LB. The effect of node geometries of spacer grids for the GTAW and LBW has been studied and optimum conditions of spacer grid welding have been found. Microstructures and micro-hardness of the GTA and LB welded zones have been also compared.

Advances in laser technology have yielded a multitude of innovative processes and applications in various industries. Laser peening is a typical example invented in the mid-1990s as a surface technology, which converted residual stress from tension to compression by just irradiating successive laser pulses to metallic materials under aqueous environment without any surface preparation. The effects of laser peening have been experimentally studied on residual stress, stress corrosion cracking(SCC) susceptibility and fatigue properties with water-penetrable frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser. In addition, laser peening has been widely used in aviation and aerospace industries, automobile manufacturing and nuclear plant. One of the most important causes to improve the above-mentioned properties is the deeper compressive residual stress induced by laser peening. Taking advantage of the process without reacting force against laser irradiation, a remote operating system was developed to apply laser peening to nuclear power reactors as a preventive maintenance measure against SCC.

Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) based on some advantages such as transparency, cheap materials and anti-sensibility for an anlge of incidence has been expected to capture most of solar cell market in the near future. To practical use of DSC, researches on high efficiency as well as upscaling are necessary. In this study, we tried to insert the grid electrode in DSC and scribe transparent conducting oxide (TCO) using Nd:YAG laser. The grid electrode makes the electron movement improved and diffusional movement minimized. Consequently, the efficiency of DSC was increased by reducing electron loss and the surface resistance of TCO. The grid electrode was made using Ag target by radio frequency sputtering. And the scribed surface was confirmed by taking a scanning electron microscopy photos. As the result, grid cell had improved photocurrent and fill factor as compared with the conventional cell. And the efficiency was increased about 1% by enhanced photocurrent and fill factor.

Grey relational analysis has been carried out to develop a new approach for optimization of Nd:YAG laser and MIG hybrid welding parameters. The quality of welded material depends on welding parameters. The parameters chosen for current study include wire type, shielding gas, laser energy, laser focus, traveling speed, and wire feed rate. The welding experiments were performed on 6K21-T4 aluminum alloy sheet. Functional demands on products may vary widely depending on their use. The ultimate tensile stress, width, and penetration were chosen as the optimization criterion. Practice based on an orthogonal array which is following Taguchi's method has been progressed. Base on the results of grey relational analysis, the optimal process parameters were obtained. This integrated work was judged and it is observed that the results obtained by using the optimal parameters are much improved compared to those obtained through initial setting.

APU 가스터빈엔진의 연료분무특성을 연구하였다. 지상 및 고도 작동조건에 대한 연료분무특성 실험을 수행하여 APU 엔진의 실화 가능성을 검토하였다. 분무실험은 4개의 작동조건에 대하여 수행되었으며 각 조건은 지상 무부하 및 통합부하 조건과 고도 20,000 feet 무부하 및 통합부하에 대한 실험을 수행하였다. 분무특성은 PDPA를 이용한 입자의 크기 및 속도 측정과 레이저 빔을 이용한 가시화를 수행하였다. 연구결과 20,000 feet 무부하의 경우 입자의 크기가 100 ${\mu}m$정도이며 분무속도가 10 m/s로 낮아 화염안정성을 위한 개선이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
