  • The error analysis for the Time-in-Flight Laser Range Finder with Multiple Tone Amplitude Modulation relevant to the phase detection error is made. The distance can be estimated to solve the formulate which express the relationship between the absolute distance from the range finder to the object and the wavenumbers and the phases of the modulated waves by the optimization technique. The main cause of the estimation error can be considered as the phase detection error induced from the amplitude modulator and the phase detector. To clarify the phase detection error and the optimal amplitude frequency set, the numerical analysis are made.

  • In this paper, we propose an algorithm for the automatic registration of two rigid parts using multiple 3D sensor systems on a robot. Four sets of structured laser stripe system consisted of a camera and a visible laser stripe is used for the acquisition of 3D information. Detailed procedures including extrinsic calibration among four 3D sensor systems and hand/eye calibration of 3D sensing system on robot arm are presented. We find a best pose using search-based pose estimation algorithm where cost function is proposed by reflecting geometric constraints between sensor systems and target objects. A pose with minimum gap and height difference is found by greedy search. Experimental result using demo system shows the robustness and feasibility of the proposed algorithm.

  • In this paper, we used a laser range finder (LRF) to detect both the static and dynamic obstacles for the safe navigation of a mobile robot. LRF sensor measurements containing the information of obstacle's geometry are first processed to extract the characteristic points of the obstacle in the sensor field of view. Then the dynamic states of the characteristic points are approximated using kinematic model, which are tracked by associating the measurements with Probability Data Association Filter. Finally, the collision avoidance algorithm is developed by using fuzzy decision making algorithm depending on the states of the obstacles tracked by the proposed obstacle tracking algorithm. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated through experiments with the experimental mobile robot.

  • The measurement in the manufacturing process of curved ship hull plates still depends on wooden templates as a standard instrument. The metrology-enabled automation in the shipbuilding process has been challenged instead of line measurement with wooden templates. The developed measurement system consists of a CCD camera, multiple structured laser sources and 3-DOF motion device. The system carries out measurement of curved profiles for large scale plates by an optical triangulation method. The results of experiment conducted in a manufacturing shop demonstrate the accurate and robust performance.

  • The Electronic Warfare Computer for the Aircraft Survivability Equipment will improve the ability for countermeasures by analysis about threat information. This paper suggests method that threat data integration of multiple sensors(Radar Warning Receiver, Laser Warning Receiver, Missile Warning Receiver). The algorithm of threat data integration is based on detected threat sequence and azimuth information. The threat sequence information is analyzed in advance and the azimuth data is received from sensors. The suggested method is evaluated through simulation under the environment like real helicopter.

  • Objectives: Recently, many studies have reported beneficial effects from the application of laser and light-emitting diode (LED) therapy for cerebral nervous disease. Transcranial laser therapy and LED therapy may be an effective method to treat diseases of the cerebral nervous system. This study aims to discuss the possibility of laser and LED therapy for cerebral nervous disease by reviewing literature about its effectiveness. Methods: We searched papers using PubMed, Science Direct, CINAHL, KTKP, Oasis and NDSL, using the keywords "Laser therapy, low-level", "Transcranial laser", "Transcranial light emitting diode" and "stroke", "traumatic brain injury", "dementia", "anxiety", "cognitive", "emotional effects", "psychiatric disorder", "multiple sclerosis", "Parkinson's disease". The search range included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and clinical case series. Reviews and animal experiments were not included. Studies not matched with inclusion criteria were excluded. Results: A total 1,119 studies were found. 1,100 were excluded from scanning titles and abstracts and finally 9 articles were selected. Among the 9 articles, 5 were RCTs, one was a controlled study, and the other 3 were case reports. They reported that transcranial laser therapy and LED treatment had beneficial effects from photobiomodulation to the cerebral nervous system. Clinical evaluation factors showed favorable trends. Conclusions: Transcranial laser therapy and LED therapy seem to be effective to the cerebral nervous system and they may be a favorable choice for cerebral nervous disease.

  • The objective of this study is to evaluate the thermal damage characterization of a silicon wafer subjected to a CW laser beam. The variation in temperature and stress during laser beam irradiation has been predicted using a three-dimensional numerical model. The simulation results indicate that the specimen might crack when a 93-$W/cm^2$ laser beam is irradiated on the silicon wafer, and surface melting can occur when a 186-$W/cm^2$ laser beam is irradiated on the silicon wafer. In experiments, straight cracks in the [110] direction were observed for a laser irradiance exceeding 102 $W/cm^2$. Furthermore, surface melting was observed for a laser irradiance exceeding 140 $W/cm^2$. The irradiance for surface melting is less than that in the simulation results because multiple reflections and absorption of the laser beam might occur on the surface cracks, increasing the absorbance of the laser beam.

  • A tapered ridge mode laser diode with increased spot size is designed and analyzed . The mode evolution concept is applied to design the taper and the method does not require regrowth or multiple-step etching technique. Three-dimensional BPM results show that the designed taper can transfer more than 97% of the mode power in the active region to the expanded mode.

  • we have analyzed tens of Giga pulse signal generation using sideband injection locking scheme. The numerical model for semiconductor lasers under the strong optical injection is based on the Lang's equation and has been extended in order to take into account the simultaneous injection of the multiple sidebands of the current-modulated laser. The numerical simulation results show that the unselected sidebands will affect the optical and RF-spectral characteristics even though the semiconductor laser is locked to the target sidebands.
