We developed a simple and real-time readout autocorrelator for several tens and sub-10fs pulses, based on the two photon absorption phenomena of a commercial GaP photodetector including a transimpedance amplifier. With a suitable gain adjustment, we demonstrated that the interferometric autocorrelation for sub-nJ pulses delivered as a high output voltage as to resolve all fringes in an autocorrelation trace with features of low noise and a low offset voltage. By fitting the measured quadratic power dependence of output voltages, we obtained the quantum efficiency of TPA for the GaP detector comparable with those of a GaAsP diode and an SHG with a thin BBO crystal. The autocorrelator of a TPA based GaP photodetector is highly suitable for sensitively measuring a few cycle pulses with a broad spectral distribution from 600 nm to 1100 nm.

The two-photon absorption of a SiC photodiode was utilized to obtain autocorrelation signals of the pulses from a mode-locked Rh6G dye laser. The autocorrelation signals were in good agreement with those obtained by a conventional autocorrelator using a second harmonic crystal and photomultiplier tube. The sensitivity of the autocorrelator with the SiC photodiode was about $4{\times}10^3 {(mW)}^2$ . From these results it was demonstrated that the SiC photodiode is suitable as a nonlinear device for an autocorrelation measurement in the visible range.

Picosecond time-resolved and static protein fluorescence spectra and absorption spectra of octopus rhodopsin, a photorecepting protein, are measured and compared with those of bacteriorhodopsin, a photon-induced proton pumping protein, to understand the protein conformations and functions of octopus rhodopsin and its deprotonated photocycle intermediate. The bluer and weaker absorption of retinal indicates that octopus rhodopsin is better in thermal noise suppression but less efficient in light harvesting than bacteriorhodopsin. The protein fluorescence of octopus rhodopsin shows the characteristic of Trp only and the uantum efficiency and lifetime variations may result primarily from variations in the coupling strength with the retinal. The stronger intensity by four times and larger red shift by 12 nm of fluorescence suggest that octopus rhodopsin has more open and looser structure compared with bacteriorhodopsin. Fluorescence decay profiles reveal two decay components of 300 ps (60%) and 2 ns (40%). The deprotonation of protonated Schiff's base increases the shorter decay time to 500 ps and enhances the fluorescence intensity by 20%. The fluorescence and its decay time from Trp residues near retinal are influenced more by the deprotonation. The increase of fluorescence intimates that protein structure becomes loosened and relaxed further by the deprotonation of protonated Schiff's base. The driving force of sequential changes initiated by absorption of a photon is too exhausted after the deprotonation to return the intermediate to the ground state of the begun rhodopsin form.

우리는 포화흡수 분광에서 이광자 결맞음 효과를 고려한 7준위 원자 모델을 제안하고 이를 이용하여 Nakayama이론으로 설명할 수 없었던 레이저의 세기에 따른 스펙트럼의 변화와 일부 교차공진선에서 Nakayama이론과의 불일치 현상을 설명하였다. 우리는 Zeeman 부준위에서 펌프광과 조사광의 편광이 $\pi-\pi$일 때를 모두 고려하여 상준위 2개 하준위 5개로 구성된 7준위의 모델을 만들었고, $^{85}$Rb원자의 5S$_{1/2}$ - 5P$_{1/2}$ 전이선에 대하여 4준위 Nakayama이론과 7준위 원자 모델을 비교하였다. 또한 레이저의 세기에 따른 포화흡수 분광 스펙트럼과 7준위 원자모델로 계산한 이론결과가 잘 일치함을 보였다.

A laser beam expanding technique is employed to fabricate precise nano-patterns in a nano-replication printing (nRP) process. In the nRP process, some patterns can be fabricated in the range of several microns inside on a polymerizable resin by using a volume-pixel (voxel) matrix that is transformed from a two-tone bitmap figure file. The liquid monomers are polymerized by means of a two-photon-absorption (TPA) phenomenon that is induced by a femtosecond (fs)-pulse laser. The yokels are generated consecutively to merge into adjoining yokels in the process of fabricating a pattern. The resolution of a fabricated pattern can be obtained under the diffraction limit of a laser beam by the two-photon absorbed polymerization (TPP). In this work, a beam-expanding technique has been applied to enlarge a working area and to fabricate precise patterns. Through this work, a working area is expanded by the technique as much as 2.5 times compared with a case of without a beam expanding technique, and precision of outside patterns is improved.

Today some many types of 3D display are developed but that are not possibly multiviewer, multiview and full parallax. Our new research work uses the Quantum optic to develop 3D display. Quantum mechanically, we can think of the first photon making a virtual transition to the second state. If the second photon appears within the lifetime of that state, the absorption sequence to the third level can be completed. When the electron, located in the third state, shifts to the first state, that electron emits one visible photon. We controlled the two invisible lights to draw a pixel in volume.
