Magnesium has good castability and limited workability, so its products have been manufactured by almost casting processes. In this study, a pulsed Nd:YAG laser was used to butt-weld the sand casting magnesium alloys. And the effect of welding conditions such as peak power, pulse width, welding speed was evaluated in detail. As a result of this study, large underfill and plenty of spatter taken place under the conditions with high peak power. Thus, it is recommended to use low peak power and long pulse width to obtain good welds with deep penetration. It is also confirmed that the welding speed and pps(pulse per second) are directly connected at weld defects such as underfill, porosity.

The optimization of resonator and laser power supply has been considered to be significant for improving the efficiency of a pulsed Nd:YAG laser system. We have proposed a new method of 3-mesh parallel sequential charge and discharge circuit as a laser power supply; more compact than conventional power supply, competitive in price, easy to control the laser power density according to various material processing, and equipped with the optimum reflectivity of output coupler. In this study, we could find that the maximum laser output was obtained by using 85% of reflectivity in the case of 50[W]-class. In addition using the power supply of new method, it's possible to charge each capacitor bank with a higher energy within the given charging time adopted a new method mentioned above; namely, we can allow each capacitor to have much more charging time and storage energy. So, higher laser output was obtained than conventional power supply.

Pulse laser welding of AISI 304 stainless steel plate was simulated to find optimal welding conditions by using commercial finite element code MARC. Due to geometric symmetry, a half model of AISI 304 stainless steel plate was considered and user subroutines were applied to boundary condition for the heat transfer. Material properties such as conductivity, specific heat, mass density and latent heat were given as a function of temperature. 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.

Dissimilar-metal welds(DHWs) are used widely in various industrial applications due to the pratical importance from the technical and economic aspect. However, DMWs have several fabricative and metallurgical drawbacks that can often lead to in-service failures. For example, the most pronounced fabrication faults are hot cracks. Recently, DMWs have used the various of heat source to decrease such as faults. In this paper, the weldability on dissimilar metal welds of Austenite stainless steel and Low carbon steel using a continuous wave Nd:YAG laser was experimentally investigated. Experiments were conducted to determine effects of welding parameters, on eliminating or reducing the extent welding zone formation at dissimilar metal welds and to optimize those parameters that have the most influence parameters such as focus length, power, beam speed, shielding gas, and wave length of laser.

Fluctuation of light intensity from the keyhole becomes more significant in full penetration welding than partial penetration welding, since the plasma produced in the keyhole can escape from the rear side of the keyhole. The plasma optical radiation emitted during Nd:YAG laser welding of S45C steel samples has been detected with a Photodiode and analyzed under different process conditions. As the results, the BOP was performed for welding, behavior of plasma, spatter or plume was monitored to determine the reference signal. Then, random combination was made for comparison with the reference signal, which aimed at verifying reliability of the welding monitoring system that this study intended to develop.

In order to optimize the operational characteristics of single elliptical pulsed Nd:YAG laser designed and fabricator compactly, it is very important to design the resonator shape and the PFN(Pulse Forming Network) suitably. We have been shown that the EMTP(Electro-Magnetic Transient Program) simulation. was used effectively in designing PFN. And Next, we have been compared current pulse width, laser beam profile and damping parameter with laser output energy. In this paper, we have suggested the optimalization of PFN design and the best operational condition.

We report the operation of a self-starting phase conjugate laser(PCL) oscillator which compensates intracavity phase distortion. The self-starting PCL in the population inverted Nd:YAG gain media produced an output energy of 200 mJ in a 20 ns single-longitudinal-mode pulse at 10Hz. And it showed well-defined Gaussian spatial profile.

We analyze the intensity characteristics of the output beams of the ring laser, in which only one mode is generated in each direction, within the neoclassical model by using the Maxwell-Bloch equation. Considering the Nd:YAG crystal as a gain medium, we investigate the stability and the modulation of the output beam intensity as the pumping rate, the relaxation or the decay rate, and the frequency detuning vary, upon taking into account the effect of the beam in one beam in one direction onto the beam in the other direction. In particular, we examine the variation of the output beam intensity and the stability condition through a computer simulation.

본 논문에서는 Nd:YAG($\lambda$=266 nm, pulse) 레이저빔을 PDMS 표면에 조사하여, 소수성 물질인 PDMS를 친수성 물질로 개질하였다. 이미 산소 플라즈마를 이용한 것과 오존을 이용한 PDMS 표면 개질에 관한 논문이 발표되었는데, 레이저를 이용한 표면 개질은 간단한 레이저 빛의 조사만으로 표면을 개질할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 레이저를 이용하여 PDMS 를 표면처리한 후에 접촉각 측정기를 이용해서 측정한 결과 접촉각 감소가 있었다. 묘면에 산소 함유량이 증가한 것을 확인함으로써 친수성 물질로의 표면 개질됨을 확인할 수 있었다.
