Picosecond lasers are a very effective tool for micromachining metals, especially when high accuracy, high surface roughness and no heat affected zone are required. However, low productivity has been a limit to broadening the spectrum of their industrial applications. Recently it was reported that in the micromachining of copper with a 1064nm picosecond laser, there exist the optimal pulse energy and repetition rate to achieve the maximum volume ablation rate. In this paper, we used a 515nm picosecond laser, which is more efficient for micromachining copper in terms of laser energy absorption, to obtain its optimal pulse energy and repetition rate. Theoretical analysis based on the experimental data on copper ablation showed that using a 515nm picosecond laser instead of a 1064nm picosecond laser is more favorable in that the calculated threshold fluence is 75% lower and optical penetration depth is 50% deeper.

Previous studies demonstrated that laser ablation under transparent liquid can result in ablation enhacement and particle removal from the surface. In this work, the liquid-assisted excimer laser ablation process is examined fer polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), Si, and alumina with emphasis on ablation enhacement, surface topography, and debris formation. In the case of PET and PMMA, the effect of liquid is analyzed both fer thin water film and bulk water. As the ablation enhanement by liquid is already known for Si and alumina, the analysis focuses on surface topography and debris formation resulting from the liquid-assisted laser ablation process. The results show that application of liquid increases the ablation rate of PMMA while that of PET remains unchanged even in the liquid-assisted process. It is also revealed that the liquid can significantly improve the surface quality by reducing the debris deposition. However, the surface roughness is generally deteriorated in the liquid-assisted process. The surface toporaphy is found to be strongly dependent on the method of liquid application, i.e., thin film or bulk liquid.

The factors that influence ablation resistance in fiber composites are properties of the reinforced fiber and matrix, plugging quantity of fiber, geometrical arrangement, crack, pore size, and their distributions. To examine ablation resistance according to distribution of crack and pore size that exist in carbon/carbon composites, this study produced various sizes of unit cells of preforms. They were densified using high pressure impregnation and carbonization process. Reinforced fiber is PAN based carbon fiber and composites were heat-treated up to $2800^{\circ}C$. The finally acquired density of carbon/carbon composites reached more than $1.932\;g/cm^3$. The ablation test was performed by a solid propellant rocket engine. The erosion rate of samples is below 0.0286 mm/s. In conclusion, in terms of ablation properties, the higher degree of graphitization is, the more fibers that are arranged vertically to the direction of combustion flame are, and the less interface between reinforced fiber bundle and matrix is, the better ablation resistance is shown.

Although there are many numerical models to simulate fs laser ablation of metals, no model can analyze the ablation phenomena over a wide range of fluence. In this work, a numerical code for simulating the fs laser ablation phenomena of metals has been developed. The two temperature model is employed to predict the ablation rate and the crater shape of metals using phase explosion mechanism in the relatively high fluence regime. Also, the ultrashort thermoelastic model is used for the low fluence regime to account for spallation of the sample by high strain rate. It has been demonstrated that the thermoelastic stress generated within the sample can exceed the yield stress of the material even near the threshold fluence. Numerical computation results are compared with the experiment for Cu and Ni and show good agreement. Discussions are made on the hydrodynamic model considering phase change and hydrodynamic flow.

Indium tin oxide (ITO) is a commonly used conducting transparent oxide film (CTO) used in flat panel display applications. Direct write laser ablation is sometimes employed for ITO patterning and it is important that the substrate material and remaining ITO be affected as little as possible by the laser ablation. In this investigation, femtosecond laser ablation of ITO was studied to identify laser processing parameters which cleanly ablated ITO with a minimum of damage to a glass substrate and surrounding ITO. The Ti:Sapphire chirp pulse amplified femtosecond laser used for the experiments had a wavelength of 775nm and produced pulses with a duration of 150fs at a rate of 2 kHz. Ablation was carried out at a sufficiently high panel scanning speed that single ablation spots could be studied. The pulse energy was adjusted to determine feasible spot diameters and depths which could be ablated into the ITO without damaging the glass substrate. Next, ablation of lines without glass damage was also demonstrated. Experiments were also performed with a high repetition rate (100kHz) femtosecond laser.

고체 로켓 추진기관의 노즐목 삽입재에 적용하는 흑연의 삭마율 특성을 분석하였다. 지상연소시험은 3 종류의 일반적인 노즐형태를 갖는 추진기관을 사용하여 수행하였다. 즉, De-Laval 형태, 토출관 형태, 내삽 형태이다. 10 종류의 서로 다른 형상의 추진기관에 다양한 추진제를 적용하였고, 노즐목 위치에 흑연을 적용하여 총 48회의 연소시험을 수행하였다. 분석결과 흑연의 삭마율은 연소실 평균압력이 상승함에 따라, 산화제 몰분율이 증가함에 따라 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 연소실 압력, 산화제 몰분율, 노즐목 크기 등 3 가지의 영향인자를 고려한 노즐목 삭마율 관계식을 유도하였으며, 측정치와 비교한 결과 ${\pm}0.10mm/s$ 이내로 일치하였다.

본 연구에서는 기상화학반응공정을 이용하여 실리콘카바이드가 코팅된 2종형상의 탄소/탄소복합재 위에 진공플라즈마용사를이용하여 하프늄카바이드를 코팅하였다. 코팅 전/후 시편을 5.06 MW/㎡의 열유속에서 120초 동안 산화 및 삭마 실험을 진행하였다. 시험 전/후의 질량 변화량을 통해 질량삭마율을 계산하였고 캘리퍼스와 고속카메라를 이용하여 길이변화를 측정하여 길이삭마량을 계산하였다. 시편 단면의 FE-SEM 및 EDS 분석을 통해 산화 및 삭마거동을 관찰하였다. 플라즈마 풍동 시험결과 코팅된 시편이 무게감소 및 길이변화가 적어 내산화 및 내삭마성이 높은 것으로 판단되었다. 그러나 동일조건에서 시험한 반구형과 원통형의 산화 및 삭마정도는 상이하였고 원통형에서 더 높은 내산화 및 내삭마성을 가지는 것으로 평가되었다.

The changes of ablation characteristics with respect to laser parameters and material parameters during pulsed laser ablation of solids were discussed with experimental results. Although laser wavelength, laser pulse width, and laser pulse energy are the primary factors to be considered, it is shown that other parameters such as laser spot size and material properties also critically influence on the ablation results. It is further demonstrated that the microstructural characteristics of the target can lead to completely different ablation rate and surface morphology.

In this research, authors tried to measure the shape of the nozzle throat of KL-3 engines, which is the main engine of KSR-III rocket, to find the increase of nozzle area caused by the thermal ablation. For the purpose, we invented an image-based method instead of the 3D pointer, which is actually inaccessible to such large scale engines. As a result, our equipment showed satisfactory accuracy and performance. Analysing the results of experiments, we find that the pattern of ablation is determined by the spray pattern and that the process of thermal ablation phenomena can be categorized in three regimes - the first regime that the shape of nozzle throat is maintained and ablation is negligible, the second regime that saw-tooth form is developed and ablation is accelerated, and the third regime that the saw-tooth form is already established and the growth of ablation rate is reduced. Also, we find that the ratio of area increase after 60 seconds combustion is +5.82% and conclude that this figure is acceptable and satisfactory.

Catheter and surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) have evolved from investigational procedures to their current role as effective treatment options for patients with AF. Surgical ablation of AF is available in most major hospitals throughout the world. Catheter ablation of AF is even more widely available, and is now the most commonly performed catheter ablation procedure. Management of patients with AF has traditionally consisted of three main components: (1) anticoagulation for stroke prevention; (2) rate control; and (3) rhythm control. With the emergence of large amounts of data, which have both defined and called attention to the interaction between modifiable risk factors and the development of AF and outcomes of AF management, we believe it is time to include risk factor modification as the fourth pillar of AF management. Catheter and surgical ablation of AF are highly complex procedures, therefore a decision to perform catheter or surgical AF ablation should only be made after a patient carefully considers the risks, benefits, and alternatives to the procedure.
