It is absolutely that jewelry industry are cut and formed by using Nd-YAG laser for most accuracy shapes. Moreover, Jewelry manufacturing is needed to be more precise working, more saved time and more improved finance. So, This Study will show the ideas which make exactly formed shape and advanced qualities when cutting Ag-alloy. This ideas will give the fact that beginners are able to use easily to change and compound the form of jewelries by using Nd-YAG laser.

We investigated the operational characteristics of a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser, which has an unstable resonator with a GRM(Gaussian reflectivity mirror). With electrical input energy of 55 J, we obtained the fundamental energy of 470 mJ at 1064 nm and the frequency doubled energy of 280 mJ at 532 nm. The Top-Hat profile of the output beam was obtained at the near field, and beam divergence was 1.7 mard.

Pulse laser welding of AISI 304 stainless steel plate was simulated to optimize welding conditions by using commercial finite element code MARC. Due to geometric symmetry, a half model of AISI 304 stainless steel plate was considered. for the heat transfer analysis, user subroutines were applied to boundary condition. The material properties such as conductivity, specific heat, and mass density were given as a function of temperature and the latent heat associated with a given temperature range was considered. A moving heat source was designed on the basis of experimental data. As a result, Nd:YAG laser welding for AISI 304 stainless steel was successfully simulated and it should be useful to determine optimal welding condition.

Various welding processes are now available for end cap closure of nuclear fuel element such as TG(Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, magnetic resistance welding and laser welding. Even though the resistance and TIG welding processes are widely used for manufacturing commercial fuel elements, they can not be recommended for the remote seal welding of a fuel element at a hot cell facility due to the complexity of electrode alignment, difficulity in the replacement of parts in the remote manner and a large heat input for a thin sheath. Therefore, the Nd:YAG laser system using optical fiber transmission was selected for Zircaloy-4 end cap welding inside hot cell. The laser welding apparatus was developed using a pulsed Nd:YAG laser of 500 watt average power with optical fiber transmission. The weldability of laser welding was satisfactory with respect to the microstructures and mechanical properties comparing with TIG and resistance welding. The optimum operation processes of laser welding and the optical fiber transmission system for hot cell operation in a remote manner have been developed The effects of irradiation on the properties of the laser apparatus were also being studied.

a parametric investigation was conducted to evaluate the effect of the laser beam for plastic adhesion. To determine the best condition for plastic adhesion, the $CO_2$(wavelength $10.6{\mu}m$) and nd:yag(wavelength $10.6{\mu}m$) laser were experimented with. From the experiment results obtained, the nd:yag laser was revealed to be the most suitable for plastic adhesion. In this study, three adhesion parameters such as input power level, working time of laser beam and pps(pulse per second) were systematically adjusted for suitable adhesion. From these experiments, it was observed that the target plastic melted and was evaporated by the nd:yag laser. Furthermore, the relationships between adhesive surface by laser beam and above three parameters were discovered.

ITO(Indium Tin Oxide) films for transparent electrodes of FPD(Flat Panel Display) were patterned in atmosphere using laser. A pulse type(repetition rate of 10 Hz) Q-switched Nd:YAG laser which can generate the fundamental wavelength at 1064 nm or its harmonics(532, 266 nm) was used for Patterning of the ITO film. In case of using the second harmonic(532 nm) of Nd:YAG laser, the ITO film(thickness of 20 nm) was removed clearly with a laser fluence of 5.2 J/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and a beam scan speed of 200${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/s. But the glass substrate was damaged when the laser fluence was over 5.2 J/$\textrm{cm}^2$. We discussed the etching mechanism of the ITO film using Nd:YAG laser with observation of the etching characteristics including a depths and widths of ITO films as a function of laser fluence using SEM(Scanning Electron Microscopy) and surface profiler($\alpha$-step 500).
