최근 고체 레이저 출력측에 비선형 광학재료를 설치하여 적외선에서 자외선에 이르기까지 넓은 대역의 파장을 가진 레이저광이 요구된다. 비선형 광학소자는 고조파발생기와 파라메터 발생기와 같은 레이저원을 이용한 주파수 전 영역까지 확장 할 수가 있다. 주파수 변환은 고전력 레이저를 이용한 확장기술에 많이 이용하고있다. 새로운 각 주파수 대역에서 광학 매개체의 비선형 광학의 응답 등을 이용할 수가 있다. 이러한 과정들은 자외선영역에서 적외선까지 고전력 방사발생을 이용할 수가 있다. 광학 파라메터발생기와 증폭기는 저주파수에서 2가지 파장 등을 발생한다. 싱글 주파수원으로부터 발생하여 몇몇의 경우에는 가시광선 영역에서 거의 자외선 영역까지 이용할 수가 있다. 결과적으로 녹색광을 얻기 위해서, 펄스형Nd:YAG 레이저는 다단펄스 포밍회로를 이용하였고 비선형광학(KTP)소자를 채택하여 적용하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 펄스 중첩법을 이용하여 기본파로서 직접 설계 제작 후 SHG 장치를 장착하여 녹색광을 얻고 각 중첩 메쉬에 같은 에너지를 인가했을 때의 레이저 출력과 녹색광 출력간의 상관관계와 메쉬 수에 따른 변환효율을 조사하였다.

Various welding methods such as Gas Tungsten Arc Welding(GTAW), magnetic force electrical resistance welding and Laser Beam Welding(LBW) are now available for end cap closure of nuclear fuel rods. Even though the resistance and GTA welding processes are widely used in manufacturing commercial fuel rods, they can not be recommended for the remote seal welding of fuel rods in the hot cell Facility due to the complexity of the electrode alignment, the difficulty in replacing parts in a remote manner and the large heat input for the thin sheath. Therefore, the Nd:YAG laser system using optical fiber transmission was selected for the end cap welding of irradiation fuel rods in the hot cell. The remote laser welding apparatus in the hot cell Facility was developed using a pulsed Nd:YAG laser of 500 watt average power with an optical fiber transmission. The weldment quality such as microstructure and mechanical strength was satisfactory. The optimum conditions of laser welding for encapsulating irradiation fuel rods in the hot cell were obtained.

Most dentists are very interested in laser therapy on the intraoral soft tissue lesions because they want to accomplish the analgesic and aseptic surgery with little or no bleeding. In order to determine the difference of pain threshold according to different gingival tissues with or without inflammation, 25 patients with inflammatory periodontal disease and 10 volunteers with good general and oral health were selected as the inflamed group and the normal group, respectively. Interdental papilla, marginal gingiva, attached gingiva, and alveolar mucosa were irradiated by the contact delivery($300{\mu]m$ fiber optic, for 5 seconds) of a pulsed Nd:YAG laser(EN.EL.EN06O, Italy). And the laser power was gradually increased from 0.5W by the increment of 0.1W. The highest laser power was recorded as the first painful power when the painful gesture was recognized at first. The difference of the first painful power of laser according to different gingival tissues with or without inflammation was statistically analyzed by paired t-test in MICROSTAT program. Following results were obtained: 1. In the comparison related with the inflammation, the first painful power was significantly lower in the inflamed group than in the normal group, regardless of interdental papilla and marginal gingiva(p<0.05). 2. In the comparison related with the tissue structure, the first painful. power was significantly lower in alveolar mucosa than in attached gingiva(p<0.05). The results suggest that, for the painless therapy by a pulsed-Nd:YAG laser irradiation, the laser surgery over 2.0W of power should be necessarily accomplished under the local anethesia, and the local anesthesia should be considered according to the degree of inflammation, the tissue structure, and the purpose of laser therapy.

Phosphorus doped ZnO thin films on (001) $Al_2O_3$ substrate have been prepared by a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique using a Nd:YAG laser. After deposition, phosphorus doped ZnO thin films have been annealed in vacuum, air, nitrogen, and oxygen ambients using pulsed Nd:YAG laser. We report the electrical properties of phosphorus doped ZnO thin films with the variation of the laser annealing conditions for the applications of optoelectronic devices.

Various welding processes are now available for end cap closure of nuclear fuel element such as TG(Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, magnetic resistance welding and laser welding. Even though the resistance and TIG welding processes are widely used for manufacturing commercial fuel elements, they can not be recommended for the remote seal welding of a fuel element at a hot cell facility due to the complexity of electrode alignment, difficulity in the replacement of parts in the remote manner and a large heat input for a thin sheath. Therefore, the Nd:YAG laser system using optical fiber transmission was selected for Zircaloy-4 end cap welding inside hot cell. The laser welding apparatus was developed using a pulsed Nd:YAG laser of 500 watt average power with optical fiber transmission. The weldability of laser welding was satisfactory with respect to the microstructures and mechanical properties comparing with TIG and resistance welding. The optimum operation processes of laser welding and the optical fiber transmission system for hot cell operation in a remote manner have been developed The effects of irradiation on the properties of the laser apparatus were also being studied.

This study was undertaken to compare and investigate the wound healing process following Nd:YAG laser wounds and scalpel incisions of the rat tongue dorsal mucosa. Laser wounds were made parallel on the right side of tongue dorsum and scalpel incisions were made on the left side with 5mm length, respectively Visual inspection and immunohistochemistry with CD44 antibody after immediately, 6 hours, 1 day, 2, 4, 7, 11, 21 days after surgery were carried out. The results were as follows : 1. There was macroscopically no treat difference between laser wounds and scalpel incisions. 2. Laser wounds appeared as dry, bloodless and irregular grooves with carbonization and whitening of superficial tissues compared to sharp, straight and bleeding incisions using scalpel. 3. In the epithelium of rat tongue mucosa, CD44 expression in healing laser wounds and scalpel incisions were similar. 4. In the lamina propria and muscle layer, CD44 expression in healing laser wounds gradually increased earlier and decreased faster than scalpel incisions. Conclusively, it is suggested that pulsed Nd:YAG laser has more beneficial effect on the healing of wounded oral mucosa than scalpel in knew of CD44 expression.

In order to set the lasing variables and evaluate, clinically, the therapeutic effects of a pulsed Nd:YAG laser on oral lesion, the author applied the laser energy from a fiberoptic delivered, free running, pulsed Nd:YAG laser (wavelength 1064nm, Pulse duration 120$\mu$sec, fiber diameter 200$\mu$m/320$\mu$m) to 22 cases of oral soft tissue lesions and 6 cases of oral hard tissue lesions. The obtained results were as follows : 1. The effective excision with contact mode and the effective hemostasis of accompanied bleeding with noncontact mode were occurred by lasing on oral soft tissue lesions with fiber diameter of 320$\mu$m under the variables of 2.0~4.0W and 20~50Hz which were controlled into high power/low pulses for excision, low power/high pulses for hemostasis, low power in granulation tissue and high power in fibrous tissue according to therapeutic goals and tissue conditions. 2. About 50% of decreasing effect on hypersensitivity was occurred by lasing with non-contact and contact mode on cervical abrasion which caused dentinal hypersensitivity with fiber diameter of 320$\mu$m under the variables of 0.7 - 1.0W and 10Hz which were applied 2~3 times with 1 week interval. 3. The effective sterilization of infected root canal and lesion of periapical abscess was occurred by lasing with contact and spiral modes on wall of root canal and periapical abscess with fiber diameter of 200$\mu$m of which the tip was placed about 1mm shorter than root canal length under the variables of 1.OW and 10Hz.

Since laser therapy has been applied to dentistry, many dental practitioners are very interested in laser therapy on various intraoral soft tissue lesions including gingival hyperplasia and aphthous ulcer. The purpose of the present study was to determine the therapeutic effect and the harmful effect of a pulsed-Nd:YAG laser irradiation on human gingival tissue. In twenty periodontal patients with gingival enlargement, the facial gingival surface of maxillary anterior teeth was randomly irradiated at various power of 1.0W(100mJ, 10Hz), 3.0W(100mJ, 30Hz) and 6.0W(l50mJ, 40Hz) for 60 seconds by contact delivery of a pulsed-Nd:YAG laser(EN.EL.EN060, Italy). Immediately after laser irradiation, the gingival tissues were surgically excised and prepared in size of 1mm3. Subsequently the specimens were processed for prefixation and postfixation, embedded with epon mixture, sectioned in $1{\mu}$ thickness, stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate, and observed under transmission electron microscope(JEM 100 CXII). Following findings were observed; l. In the gingival specimens irradiated with l.OW power, widening of intercelluar space and minute vesicle formation along the widened intercellular space were noted at the epithelial cells adjacent to irradiated area. 2. In the gingival specimens irradiated with 3.0W power, the disruption of cellular membrane, aggregation of cytoplasm, and loss of intercellular space were observed at the epithelial cells adjacent to irradiated area. 3. In the gingival specimens irradiated with 6.0W power, the disruption of nuclear and cellular membrane was observed at the epithelial cells adjacent to irradiated area. The ultrastructural findings of this study suggest that surgical application of a pulsed-Nd:YAG laser on human gingival tissue may lead somewhat delayed wound healing due to damage of epithelial cells adjacent to irradiated area.

Weldability is largely dependent on the phase evolution and the microstructure of the weld. For the weldability of the $Cu_{54}Ni_6Zr_{22}Ti_{18}$ bulk metallic glass, the crystallization affects the sensitivity of the weld to the brittle failure. In order to suppress the irreversible crystallization, Nd:YAG laser welding was chosen. The pulsed Nd:YAG laser was irradiated onto the BMG plate and the effects of the pulse shape [peak power intensity and pulse duration time] on the crystallinity were evaluated.
