In this paper, a low-cost hybrid-integrated tunable laser is realized using a polymer-ring resonator-based add/drop filter reflector and a reflective semiconductor optical amplifier. The add/drop filter reflector, composed of a double-ring resonator with different radii, can have characteristics of selective wavelength reflection and wide wavelength tuning with an aid of vernier effect derived from the radii difference. By hybrid-integrating the reflective semiconductor optical amplifier with the add/drop filter reflector, a tunable laser can be realized through an active alignment method. The hybrid laser exhibited a single mode lasing with side mode suppression ratio of 26 dB and full width half maximum of 0.03 nm. In addition, applying a low current as small as 25 mA onto electrodes over add/drop filter reflector, a wavelength tuning range of 17 nm could be obtained.

In this paper, a study is conducted on the design of an optical system of a time-of-flight (TOF) laser distance sensor that can measure long distances by minimizing beam divergence. When measuring a long distance, the amount of light on the object's surface decreases as the distance increases, due to the diffusion angle of the laser beam, and thus the beam at the sensor also decreases, causing measurement errors. In general, a cylindrical lens is used to reduce the divergence beam angle. However, an optical system using a cylindrical lens has the problem of degraded performance due to the difficulty with assembly tolerance, as well as the problem of the increased size of the optical system, and thus the use of aspherical lenses has been increasing recently. Therefore, in this study, the optical efficiencies and assembly tolerances of optical systems using respectively a cylindrical lens and an aspherical lens are compared and analyzed.

In this paper, the principles, types and characteristics of the laser and laser soldering are introduced. Laser soldering methods for electronics, metals, semiconductors are also presented. Laser soldering is a non-contact process that transfers energy to solder joint by a precisely controlled beam. Demands for laser soldering are increasing due to bonding for complex circuits and local heating in micro joint. Laser absorption ratio depends on materials, and each material has different absorption or reflectivity of the laser beam, which requires fine adjustment of the laser beam. Laser types and operating conditions are also important factors for laser soldering performance. In this paper, the performance of Nd:YAG laser soldering is compared to the hot blast reflow. Meanwhile, a diode laser gives different wavelength and smaller parts with high performance, but it has various reliability issues such as heat loss, high power, and cooling technology. These issues need to be improved in the future, and further studies for laser micro-joining and soldering are required.

This paper presents the results of an experimental analysis of the high-power laser (HPL)-induced damage to a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor. Although the laser-induced damages to metallic materials have been sufficiently investigated, the damages to electric-optic imaging systems, which are very sensitive to HPLs, have not been studied in detail. In this study, we experimentally analyzed the HPL-induced damages to a CMOS image sensor. A near-infrared continuous-wave (CW) fiber laser was used as the laser source. The influences of the irradiance and irradiation time on the permanent damages to a CMOS image sensor, such as the color error and breakdown, were investigated. The experimental results showed that the color error occurred first, and then the breakdown occurred with an increase in the irradiance and irradiation time. In particular, these damages were more affected by the irradiance than the irradiation time.

A diode laser system has been developed for the refractory glaucoma therapy. The diode lasers have merits in clinical usage including reduction of beam dispersion, higher absorption such as in melanin pigment, and lower complication in treatment. We present the system specification of laser diodes in 810mm with 3W power, which is delivered into the optical fiber core of 600${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$.
