  • Q-switch된 Er:YAG 레이저를 이용해서 치아표면에 뿜어준 외부의 물로 인해 유도된 열 및 역학적인 효과를 이해하는 것은 free-running Er:YAG 레이저에 의한 절삭효과를 이해하는데 대단히 중요하다. 이는 (파장 하나의 길이가 250 $\mu\textrm{s}$인) free-running 레이저에 의한 한 거 대효과가 본 실험에서 이용한 (파장 하나의 길이가 1 $\mu\textrm{s}$인) Q-switch된 레이저에 의한 미소효과들의 축적이기 때문이다. 치아표면에 물이 있을 때 Q-Switch된 레이저에 의한 절삭률은 그렇치 않은 때에 비해 증가되었다. 치아표면에 물을 뿜어주는 횟수는 절삭률에 영향을 미쳐서 저에너지에서는 더디게 물을 뿜어줄때 놀은 절삭률을 얻었다. 반동압력의 세기는 치아표면 조건에 의존하는데. 표면이 젖을수록 그리고 뿜어준 물의 양이 증가 할 수록, 반동압력의 세기 또한 증가하였다. 이 연구로부터 우리는 1-$\mu\textrm{s}$-길이의 pulsed 레이저에 의해 유도된 열 및 역학적인 효과가 외부에 물이 있을 때 free-running Er:YAG 레이저에 의한 절삭을 이해하는데 중요한 정보를 제공해 준다는 것을 알았다.

  • We report on high-power continuous-wave operations of an Er:YAG ceramic laser in-band pumped by a cladding-pumped Er,Yb fiber laser at 1532 nm. With an output coupler of 10% transmission, the ceramic laser yielded 16.7 W of continuous-wave output at 1645 nm for 28.8 W of incident pump power, corresponding to a slope efficiency of 61.0% with respect to the incident pump power. The lasing wavelength switched to 1617 nm when output couplers of > 20% transmission were used. Up to 16.2 W of 1617 nm output was generated for 33.0 W of incident pump power, corresponding to a slope efficiency of 51.8%. Graphene Q-switched operation of Er:YAG cermic laser at 1645 nm was also demonstrated with stable pulses of 30-74 kHz repetition rates and 1.5-6.4 ${\mu}s$ pulse widths.

  • One macroscopic effect in the free-running Er:YAG laser is an accumulation of microscopic effects. Understanding of the exogenous water induced mechanical effect on the dental hard tissue by the Qswitched Er:YAG laser has an important impact on the further understanding of the free-running Er:YAG laser ablation on the dental hard tissue. The Q-switched Er:YAG laser (1-$\mu$s-long pulse width) was used in the recoil pressure measurement with an aid of water-jet system and a pressure transducer. The amplitude of the recoil pressure depends on the tooth surface conditions (dry and wet) and the volume of the water upon it. Wet surfaces yielded higher recoil pressure than that of dry, surface, and as the volume of the exogenous water drop increased, the amplitude of the recoil pressure increased also.

  • In this paper, we demonstrated a high-energy (285 mJ) mid-infrared flashlamp-pumped electro-optically 𝚀-switched Er:YAG master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) system and comprehensively investigated its temporal, spectral, and spatial characteristics. To increase the output energy, we optimized the delay between the timings at which the flashlamps of the master oscillator and power amplifier were triggered. In addition, the output energy was improved while minimizing thermal effects by cooling the MOPA system to a temperature slightly above the dew point. Consequently, the MOPA structure boosted the output energy without damaging the lithium niobate Pockels cell, which is a crucial element in 𝚀-switching. This design realized pulses with energies up to 0.285 J and pulse durations of approximately 140 ns at a wavelength of 2,936.7 nm. This high-energy mid-IR Er:YAG MOPA system can be used for various scientific, engineering, and military underwater applications.

  • 편광특성을 이용하여 일직선 위에서 네 번 통과하는 Ti:sapphire 레이저 증폭기를 구성하였다. 증폭기를 펌핑하는 Q-스위칭된 Nd:YAG 레이저의 제2차 고조파 에너지가 188mJ일 때 450mW의 연속 발진 Ti:sapphire 레이저가 34mJ의 에너지, 25ns의 반치폭을 갖는 펄스로 증폭되었다. 한편 Ti:sapphire 결정의 방향을 조절하는 간단한 방법으로 자발방출에 의한 증폭을 최소화할 수 있었다.
