  • Passive mode-locking of a pulsed Nd:YAG laser is achieved with saturable absorbers, BDN dye in iodoethane solvent and Kodak Eastman # 26 dye in 1,2-dichloroethane solvent, and its optimum conditions are investigated. The thickness of saturable absorbers employed in the laser mode-locking is 0.16~0.50mm. The PBR (peak-to-background ratio) measured in the oscilloscope is 79.8% in Kodak Eastman # 26 dye at the neighbourhood of the peak power, whereas the passive mode-locking with BDN dye gives PBR of 67.7%. BDN and Kodak Eastman # 26 dyes are superior in photostability over Kodak eastman # 9860 and # 9740 dyes which were used previously in passive mode-locking. From the PBR curve, we find that Kodak Eastman # 26dye is more effective than BDN dye in passive mode-locking. The spacing between the adjacent pulses of the pulse train, which depends on the laser cavity length, is measured and is found to be 7 nsec for the cavity length of 100cm.

  • 광 솔리톤은 고속, 장거리 광통신시스템에서 분산과 self-phase modulation(SPM)에 의한 문제를 해결하기 위한 효과적인 기술 중의 하나이다. 현재, 솔리톤 전송은 장거리 해저 광전송시스템 뿐만 아니라 중거리 및 근거리 고속 전송시스템에서도 적용하기 위한 연구가 집중되고 있다. 특히, 솔리톤 전송은 광전중계기 없이 장거리 전송이 가능한 장점으로 인하여 기존의 중, 단거리링크를 초고속링크로 업그레이드하기 위하여 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. (중략)

  • 본 논문에서는 포화흡수체의 투과변조깊이 조절을 통해 다양한 펄스 상태를 한 공진기 안에서 구현하는 방법에 관한 전산 모사를 진행하였다. 포화흡수체의 투과변조깊이의 크기 변화만으로 큐스위치드 레이저, 큐스위치드 모드 잠금 레이저, 모드 잠금 레이저 등 원하는 펄스 레이저 상태로 전환이 가능하다는 실험적 연구가 있어 왔으며, 이러한 연구가 이론적으로 부합하는 내용임을 확인하기 위해 Haus master 식을 사용하여 전산 모사를 진행하였다. 큐스위칭된 광 파워를 모사하기위해 이득 값은 시간 의존성을 가지도록 반응속도식을 적용하였다. 그 결과 투과변조깊이가 증가함에 따라 모드 잠금 레이저에서부터, 큐스위치드 레이저, 큐스위치드 레이저로 동작함을 확인하였고, 이는 이론적으로 예측된 경향성과 일치하였다.

  • Protection mechanisms for skin damage of ultraviolet (UV) absorbers in personal care products for protection against UV are well studied, but not for hair protection. The purpose of this study is to describe and compare the changes of physical property produced in human hair by doses of the UV-B exposure causing protein degradation. To observe the change of physical properties in hair, the experimental intensity of UV-B exposure has been established on the basis of statistical data from official meterological administration as daily one hour sunlight exposure for two weeks. Polysilicone-15, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate (OMC), and octocrylene were employed for UV-B absorber, and those were treated to hair swatch by rubbing wash through shampoo and conditioner. Bending rigidity displayed kinetically successive reduction at high doses of UV exposure up to the 8,000 s, and exhibited different level at each sample of UV-B absorber. However, the values of Bossa Nova Technologies (BNT) for shinning factor were already saturable at the 2,000 s exposure except that treated with polysilicone-15. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to measure a strength of inner protein produces a successive reduction of enthalpy as like a reduction of bending rigidity upon UV exposure. Surface roughness from lateral force microscope (LFM) acquired immediately after UV exposure show a saturable frictional voltage which has been also found in a saturable BNT data as the time of UV exposure increases. Through researching the DSC and the LFM, shinning of hair was much correlated to the protein damage at the surface, and bending rigidity could be regulated by the protein structural damage inside hair. Therefore, the optimization of efficient strategy for simultaneous prevention of hair protein on the surface and internal hair was required to maintain physical properties against UV.

  • Graphene-based saturable absorbers (SAs) are widely used as laser mode-lockers at various laser oscillators. In particular, transmission-type graphene-SAs with ultrabroad spectral coverage are typically manufactured on transparent substrates with low nonlinearity to minimize the effects on the oscillators. Here, we developed two types of transmitting graphene SAs based on CaF2 and ZnSe. Using the graphene-SA based on CaF2, a passively mode-locked mid-infrared Cr:ZnS laser delivers relatively long 540 fs pulses with a maximum output power of up to 760 mW. In the negative net cavity dispersion regime, the pulse width was not reduced further by inhomogeneous group delay dispersion (GDD) compensation. In the same laser cavity, we replaced only the graphene-SA based on CaF2 with the SA based on ZnSe. Due to the additional self-phase modulation effect induced by the ZnSe substrate with high nonlinearity, the stably mode-locked Cr:ZnS laser produced Fourier transform-limited ~130 fs near 2,340 nm. In the stable single-pulse operation regime, average output powers up to 635 mW at 234 MHz repetition rates were achieved. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt to achieve shorter pulse widths from a polycrystalline Cr:ZnS laser by utilizing the graphene deposited on the substrate with high nonlinearity.

  • We report hybrid and passive mode-locking results of tilted-stripe AlGaAs semiconductor laser traveling wave amplifiers with saturable absorbers. Dependence ofthe pulse width on the mode locking frequency, the bandwidth of spectral filters, and the bias current of the laser amplifier are investigated. We generate 4 ps optical pulses by using the hybrid mode locking technique. The repetition rate and the peak power of generated pulses are 516 MHz and 170 mW, respectively. The tuning range of uor mode locked laser is 10 nm with the center wavelength of 780 nm. We also generate 2.6 ps optical pulses with peak power of 830 mW by using the passive mode locking technique.

  • Nonlinear optical absorption in solid films of poly(3-octyl thiophene) (P3OT) sensitized with methanofullerene was inverstigated for wacelengths from 620 to 960nm. The nonlinear absorption is ehnanced over that in either of the component materials by more than two orders orders of magitude at 760nm. The large nonlinearity results from effient photoinduced interm olecular charge transfer from P3OT to methanofullerene, followed by absorption in the charge separated excited state. P3OT/fullerene films are promising as reverse saturable absorbers and the optical limiting performance is demonstrated at 760nm.
