High-quality ZnO films were grown on sapphire (001) substrates by the atomic layer epitaxy (ALE) technique using DEZn as a Zinc precusor and $H_2O $ as an oxidant at both $170^{\circ}C$ and $400^{\circ}C$ which are in the ALE and the CVD process temperature ranges, respectively. The films were annealed in an oxygen atmosphere in the temperature range from 600 to 100$0^{\circ}C$ for an hour and then investigate photoluminescence (PL) properties using He-Cd laser. PL intensity tends to increases as the annealing temperature increase for both the annealed ZnO films grown at $170^{\circ}C$ and $400^{\circ}C$ , while PL did not nearly occur at the as-deposited ones. The PL intensity of the ZnO film grown at $400^{\circ}C$ is low after it is annealed at high temperature owing to a large number of Zn-Zn bonds although it has increased in the visible light wavelength region after annealing. In contrast the PL intensity has increased significant in the visible light region after annealing

In this paper, we have measured the effect of the optical spot size, incident upon the quadrant photodetector, on the optical displacement sensitivity of the optical beam deflection technique. We have built an optical displacement detection system based on the optical beam deflection method using 3 mW He-Ne laser and measured the displacement sensitivity with changing the optical spot size on the quadrant photodetector. We have also calculated the changes in the optical displacement sensitivity as a function of the incident laser spot size by modeling a circular optical spot with constant laser intensity. Our experimental and theoretical studies show that the optical displacement sensitivity increases with the decrease in the optical spot size. This suggests that in the design of the optical motion detection systems with sub-nanometer sensitivity, the displacement sensitivity can be optimized by reducing the size of the incident optical spot on the detector.

In this study, the plasma induced by $CO_2$ laser lap welding of 6t Zn coated steel used for ship building was measured using photodiodes and a microphone. Then, the welding phenomenon with gap clearance of lap joint was compared with RMS-treated signal. Thus, we found that intensity of the RMS-treated signal increased with Zn vaporization; further, the presence of defects results in rapid variations with the RMS value as a function of lap-joint parameters. Besides, the FFT value of the raw signal with variations of changing welding parameters was calculated, and then the calculated FFT frequency value was set as the bandwidth of digital filter for a more accurate in-process monitoring. The RMS values were acquired by filtering the raw signal. By matching the weld beads and the calculated RMS values, we confirmed that there is a strong relationship between the signals and the defects.

$Y_2$$_{-x}$G $d_{x}$ $O_3$:E $u^{3+}$(x=0.0, 0.3, 0.6, 1.0, 1.4) luminescent thin films have been grown on Si (100) substrates using pulsed laser deposition. The films grown under different deposition conditions have been characterized using microstructural and luminescent measurements. The crystallinity, the surface morphology and photoluminescence (PL) of the films are highly dependent on the amount of Gd. The photoluminescence (PL) brightness data obtained from $Y_2$$_{-x}$G $d_{x}$ $O_3$:E $u^{3+}$ films grown under optimized conditions have indicated that Si (100) is one of promised substrates for the growth of high quality $Y_2$$_{-x}$G $d_{x}$ $O_3$:E $u^{3+}$ thin film red phosphor. In particular, the incorporation of Gd into $Y_2$ $O_3$ lattice could induce a remarkable increase of PL. The highest emission intensity was observed with $Y_{1.35}$G $d_{0.60}$ $O_3$: $E^{3+}$, whose brightness was increased by a factor of 1.95 in comparison with that of $Y_2$ $O_3$:E $u^{3+}$ films.3+/ films.films.lms.

For Longevity of implant, considerations of biomechanical and microbiological aspects must be done. Recently, due to the remarkable development of bone grafting procedure. Implant has been implanted into the more favorable sites but peri-implantitis resulted from periodontal bacteria may obscure the long-term prognosis. Although many different modalities have been introduced to treat the failed implant. Implant's surface and irreversible bony destruction around the implant prevents good result. After Er,Cr:YSGG (waterlase) laser using the wave-length of 2780nm has been introduced to dental field, good results have been reported. Because waterlase uses the hydrokinetic force of water. It is excellent device to detoxify the implant surface mechanically without the heat generation and damage to the implant surface. We designed to evaluate waterlase effect on the peri-implantitis has been occurred after implantation. Four beagle dogs were involved. We have made four premolar extraction in each right and left side of the lower jaw and placed two implants in the anterior of the jaw as a control and six implant were placed posterior in each socket after extraction immediately as an experimental group. We tied floss-silk in each implant to make peri-implantitis intentionally. After three months, we explored peri-implant sites on each experimental fixtures. Using waterlase laser irradiation was performed on that implantitis sites under 3W, air 30% and water 20% intensity for 2 minutes. In control group, we repositioned the flap to cover the exposed fixture without any supportive care. Three months later, we sacrificed experimental animals and extracted and preparated bone blocks with Donath and Breuner (982), Donath (988)'s methods and examined under microscope. We have obtained good re-osseointegration around fixtures after treating with waterlaser irradiation. But it was shown fibroosseointegration in the control group.

The power of semiconductor laser diodes has been limited primarily by the heating effects which occur at high optical intensities. The actual limiting event can take one of a number of forms such as. catastrophic optical damage or filamentation. A general approach to this problem is to design a heterostructure which creates a high powered output while maintaining low internal optical intensities. A graded index separate confinement heterostructure (GRIN-SCH) is one such structure that accomplishes the above task. Here, the active region is sandwiched between graded index layers where the index of refraction increases nearer to the active layer. This structure has been shown to yield a high efficiency due to the confinement of both the optical power and carriers, thereby reducing the optical intensity required to achieve higher powers. The optical confinement also reinforces the optical beam quality against high power effects. Quantum dots have long been a desirable option for laser diodes due to the enhanced optical properties associated with the zeroth dimensionality. In our work, we use PICS3D software created by Crosslight Software Inc. to simulate the performance of In0.67A10.33As/A10.2Ga0.8AsquantumdotsusedwithaGRIN-SCH. The simulation tools are used to optimize the GRIN-SCH structure for high efficiency and optical beam quality.

A new open-loop signal processing technique of digital phase tracking is known to have a Potential to solve the problems in the open-loop processor such as limited dynamic range, dependence on the optical intensity fluctuations, and dependence on gain fluctuations of signal path. But new problems with digital phase tracking must be solved before it can be a useful signal processing method. In this paper, barriers to the success of the digital phase tracking such as harmonics content, phase difference, amplitude variations of the phase modulation(PM) signal, bandwidth limit of the signal path, and the implementation of the mixer, are pointed out and their effects on the performance of the signal processor are analyzed to calculate the requirements of the signal processor for $1{\mu}rad$-grade FOG.

In order to investigate the effect of tail state on the electrical and the optical properties in amorphous IGZO(a-IGZO), a-IGZO films were deposited at room temperature on fused silica substrats using pulsed laser deposition method. The laser pulse energy was used as the processing parameter. In-situ post annealing was carried out at $150^{\circ}C$ right after the film deposition. The $O_2$ partial pressure during the deposition and the post annealing was fixed to 10mTorr. The carrier mobility of the a-IGZO films had a range from 2 to $18\;cm^2/Vs$ at carrier concentrations greater than $10^{18}\;cm^{-3}$. As the laser energy density increased, the Hall mobility increased. And post annealing improved the Hall mobility, as well. The optical property was examined using the ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. The a-IGZO films that have low Hall mobility exhibited stronger and broader absorption tails in >3.0 eV region. Post annealing reduced the intensity of the tail-like absorption. The absorption tail in a-IGZO films is an important factor which affects the electrical and the optical properties.

Various structural health monitoring (SHM) systems have been suggested for aerospace industry in order to increase its life-cycle and economic efficiency. In the case of aircraft structure madden with metal, a major concern was hot spots, such as notches, bolts holes, and where corrosion or stress concentration occurs due to moisture or salinity. However, with the increasing use of composites in the aerospace industry, further advanced SHM systems have been being required to be applied to composite structures, which have much complex damage mechanism. In this paper, a method of acoustic emission localization for composite structures using Q-switched laser and multiple Amplifier-integrated PZTs have been proposed. The presented technique aims at localization of the AE with an error in distance of less than 10 mm. Acoustic emission simulation and the localization attempt were conducted in the composite structure to validate the suggested method. Localization results, which are coordinates of detected regions, grid plots and color intensity map have been presented together to show reliability of the method.

Pulsed terahertz (THz) radiation was generated by optical rectification and detected by a fee space electro-optic sampling (FS-EOS) method. We used ZnTe (110) crystals for both generation and detection. By coating dielectric anti-reflection film on the ZnTe crystal surface, we can reduce the reflectance of a pump laser beam from $30\%$ to $2\%$, and the terahertz pulse amplitude increased $27\%$ compared with an uncoated crystal. A wider bandwidth of THz radiation was obtained by using a thinner crystal but the signal intensity was decreased in this case. And variations of THz radiation by changing orientation of the ZnTe crystal with respect to the pump (or probe) laser polarization, and by changing the power of the pump laser have also been investigated and discussed.
