In this paper, a tunable fiber feedback laser based on the use of Sagnac loop filter and fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is proposed. The Sagnac loop filter using a high birefringence fiber provides precise 0.33-nm channel spacing as a multi-wavelength grid filter. Ni-Cr wire wound on the FBG is useful to induce the thermo-optic effect of the fiber. Two types of FBG structures, which have a different length of wire, are demonstrated to show the wavelength shift and separation. To tune FBG by resistant heat, some current is supplied into the wire. When the wavelength matched with one of the cavity modes of Sagnac loop filter, the mode-locked lasing is occurred. The electrical power sensitivity of the resonant wavelength is measured to 1.75pm/mW. This laser configuration can be applied the electrical power system for monitoring the power fluctuation.

We performed the intracavity frequency-doubling of a tunable continuous-wave Ti:sapphire laser using a lithium triborate $(LiB_3O_5, LBO)$ crystal. For an efficient intracavity frequency-doubling, we measured the spectral and the angular bandwidth about the $\theta$-direction of LBO crystal. The measured values at a fundamental wavelength of 800 nm were 1.54 nm.cm and 3.8 mrad.cm, respectively. As a result of an intracavity frequency-doubling, we obtained the second-harmonic generation output power of 5.3 mW at 400 nm with the full width at half maximum(FWHM) of 0.089 nm from the fundamental output power of 185 mW at 800 nm. The frequency-doubled output was tuned from 397 nm to 403 nm.403 nm.

본 연구에서는 결정질 태양전지 제작에 있어 재료비 절감과 기존의 Screen Printing 공정 기술에서의 단점을 보완하기 위한 방안으로 후면 passivation 구조와 레이저를 이용한 국부적 후면 전극 형성(Laser Fired Contact) 방법에 대한 실험을 진행하였다. 후면 passivation 층으로 SiO2/ SiNx/SiO2 삼중막 구조와 SiNx 단일막 구조를 형성시킨 후 anneal 온도에 따른 소수캐리어의 lifetime 변화를 비교하였다. LFC 형성은 2 ${\mu}m$ 두께의 Al이 증착된 기판 후면에 1,064 nm 파장의 레이저를 통해 diameter와 dot pitch 등의 파라미터를 가변 하여 실시하였다. 실험 결과 800$^{\circ}C$의 고온 열처리 후 ONO 삼중막에서의 lifetime 향상이 우세하여 SiNx 단일 막 보다 열적 안정성이 우수함을 확인하였다. LFC 결과 diameter가 40, 50, 60 ${\mu}m$로 가변된 조건에서는 40 ${\mu}m$ 일 경우와 dot pitch가 200, 500, 1,000 ${\mu}m$로 가변된 조건에서는 1,000 ${\mu}m$일 경우 610 mV의 Voc 값을 보였다. 이는 레이저를 통해 국부적으로 Al-Si 간 alloy를 형성시킴으로써 접촉 면적이 최소화됨에 따라 후면에서의 캐리어의 재결합속도를 감소시키고, passivation 효과를 극대화시키기 때문이다.

A pulsed Ti:sapphire laser with a Z-folded cavity, which was pumped by a freqeuncy-doubled Nd:YAG laser, was developed. It shows 120 nm wavelength tuning range from 740 nm to 860 nm with 90 nm FWHM under a pumping energy of 3 mJ with 18% output coupler. Using a birefringent filter, the effective efficiency was improved about 10 times compare to without a birefringent filter. The output energy obtained was $\365mu$Jwith 4 nm FWHM. And the wavelength tuning range was broadened to about 160 nm within an output energy fluctuation of $\pm$10%.

A Littman type tunable external-cavity diode laser system was developed. The laser output which is the Oth-order diffracted beam from a diffraction grating in an external cavity is a single longitudinal mode. Its FWHM was measured as less than 9 MHz. With the diode driving current of 140 mA and operating temperature of $25^{\circ}C$, the coarse tuning range of 3.475 urn was measured. A fine tuning experiment in which an external mirror was rotated by a PZT driven by a sawtooth wave was performed, and its tuning range of 0.042 urn was measured. sured.

In this paper, we proposed the new wavelength tunable filter for wide tunability of fiber ring laser. The proposed filter consists of the cascaded connection of Fiber Reflection Mach-Zehnder Interferometer and Sagnac filter or of hybrid filter and Fiber Reflection Mach-Zehnder Interferometer. The simulation shows that the continuous tunable range of 50nm can be obtained and that more stable single mode operation of ring laser can be expected due to narrow FWHM. of filter spectrum.

Quenched dye laser (QDL), which operates with relaxation oscillation mode, is one of the most powerful source for ultra-short pulse light. In this paper, the output characteristics of QDL is theoretically analyzed by a computer simulation. The QDL is assumed that the laser dye is Rhodamine 6G which has the oscillation wavelength of 590 nrn and that the active length is 5 mm and that the pumping source is XeCllaser which has oscillation wavelength of 308 nm. It is revealed ilim the pulse width of short cavity dye laser reduced less than 1/100 than pumping pulse duration and has the linear relationship with spatial width of pumping beam approximately. In addition, it is revealed that the short cavity dye laser is a powerful candidate of pulse width variable light source, which is adjusted by spatial size of pumping beam_ beam_

In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate a self-seeding FP-LD (Fabry Perot Laser Diode) to verify the possibility of a new tunable light source that can be used in WDM-PON (Wavelength Division Multiplexing - Passive Optical Network) system. The conventional implementation of WDM-PON using a tunable light source has a disadvantage that the center wavelength of the AWG (Arrayed Waveguide Grating) device and the tunable light source must be precisely aligned. However, the proposed tunable light source has the advantage that the tunable wavelength is automatically aligned with the center wavelength of the AWG as well as simple structure. The implemented tunable light source had a tunable band of about 14 nm or more, and the maximum RIN (Relative Intensity Noise) of about -124 dB/Hz, which showed the possibility of modulating 10 Gb/s signal by an external modulator.

We have developed XeCl laser pumped double-resonator Dye laser and two-stage amplifier system, and generated simultaneously of alternatively two wavelengths suitable in DIAL system. The developed double-resonator is composed of 1st and 2nd diffraction orders on light incidence angle in grazing-incidence grating method with 1200 g/mm. We have obtained spectral linewidth below 10 pm and the total efficiency dependent on pump energy over 6%. The tuning ranges dependent on 1st and 2nd diffraction orders are 434~470 nm and 436~468 nm, respectively. The amplification gain and rine-450 dye laser by using the double-resonator laser system and measured the distribution of $NO_2$ concentration over Suwon as the result of transmission of laser output of 6 mJ in this DIAL system. Consequently, we have confirmed that the developed dye laser system is very useful as the tunable source for DIAL.
