We analyze the characteristics of the coherent beam combination of lasers by monitoring the speckle pattern of the beam reflected from a scattering medium. Three collimated laser sources with high coherence are focused on a scattering target using a lens, and we then examine the speckle pattern of the returned beam in the Fourier domain. We observe that the size of the speckle pattern changes, depending on the focused-beam size or degree of spatial overlap of the three beams. Furthermore, through Fourier-domain analysis of the speckle pattern we obtain the monitoring variable to qualify the efficiency of the coherent beam combination.

We have studied on operational characteristics of the nitrogen laser with sliding discharge and longitudinal excitation. We could observe radiation of nitrogen laser excited by a sliding discharge along the surface of a dielectric. The shape of the beam was a ring type which had 2 mm or 4mm in diameter depending on the sliding discharge tube shape. In this experiment, We show the possibilities to make other shapes of laser beam, for example, rectangle, ellipse, and to excite another gas laser system like an excimer laser.

For the conventional welding method. the high heat transfer makes the crystallized zone of the work material unavoidable. Whereas the laser is able to weld the amorphous metal without a crystallized zone, because heat transfer is limited within a very small restricted volume. In this paper, the possibilities and the limits of the laser welding were studied to utilize the advantageous properties of amorphous metal foils.

This paper reports the study of the line-beam optical system of the laser lift-off (LLO) equipment used in the OLED manufacturing process. To obtain both a long process depth and a narrow width of the line beam, even with the poor M² value of the laser source, the research is focused on the optical system, including the beam transformation unit (BTU). We also propose optical configurations for the super-Gaussian distribution and the fiber-based BTU for the flat-top distribution.

고밀도 에너지를 열원으로 이용하는 고출력 레이저로는 CO$_{2}$레이저와 Nd;YAG 레이저가 있다. 레이저는 열가공임에도 불구하고 빔의 스폿경을 작게하여 높은 에너지 밀도($10^{6}$ W/cm$_{2}$ 이상)을 얻을 수 있으므로 열영향이 작고 작은 변형범위내에서 용접을 할 수 있고 입력 에너지의 제어성이 좋아서 미세한 용접이 가능하게 하고, 빔폭 대비 용입깊이가 커서 깊은 용접 비드가 형성되며, 자동화가 용이하다는 장점이 있다. 특히 Nd;YAG 레이저의 경우는 광 섬유를 이용하므로서 에너 지의 시간 분할 및 에너지 분할을 할 수 있는 등 분기 및 배치가 용이하며 펄스의 활 용을 극대화 할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 그러나, 결점으로도 맞대기 용접의 경우 갭의 여유가 판두께, 초점위치, 빔모드에 따라 변화하는데 이는 빔 스폿이 작음에 따른 장점이 단점으로 작용하는 경우이다. 레이저 용접부의 비드 폭이 좁기 때문에 인장 강도가 모재의 인장강도보다 밑도는 것도 겹쳐서 용접된 이음 부분의 인장강도에 있 어서 단점이 되고 있다.

다이오드 레이저의 개발과 발달에 의해 고출력의 다이오드 펌핑 고체 레이저(DPSSL, Doode-Pumped Solid State Laser)가 개발되었고 다양한 분야에서 그 응용성이 증가하고 있다. 고출력 레이저 발생의 경우에 펌핑에 의한 레이저 매질 내부의 열 발생이 중요하게 대두되고, 이러한 열로 인해 레이저 빔의 왜곡이 생겨나 빔질이 저하된다. 레이저 빔질의 개선은 가우시안(Gaussian) 분포를 따르는 빔에 대해 기술하고 있는 광학 공식들과 직접적인 산업현장에서의 유용성 때문에 매우 중요한 문제가 된다. (중략)

레이저 빔의 세기 분포를 측정하는 knife edge 방법은 레이저의 발명과 함께 시작 되었다. 사용이 편리한 카메라를 이용한 레이저 빔의 세기 분포 측정 장치에 비해, 진행 방향과 수직한 방향에 대해 대칭성을 가져야만 적용이 가능한 knife edge 방법이 지금까지도 사용되는 이유는 높은 공간 분해능(spatial resolution) 때문이다. Z-scan 방법은 렌즈로 집광시킨 빔의 초점 영역에 샘플을 두고, 샘플을 빔의 진행 방향으로 이동시키면서, 샘플의 두께에 비해 먼 영역에 있는 작은 개구를 통해 측정한 빔의 투과도를 샘플이 없을 때의 투과도로 규격화하여 나타낸 것이다. (중략)

Thermal distortion of the laser mirrors which are the Coude mirrors of the laser beam director and the wavefront error caused by the thermal distortion are studied. Coude mirrors consist of three relay mirrors and one fast steering mirror. The mirrors have reflectivity of 99.5% with respect to the laser wavelength of $3.8\;{\mu}m$, and absorption of 500 W per second. Thermal distortion and its related wavefront errors are studied with laser beam irradiation for 5 seconds. For the relay mirror, the wavefront error is 334 nm_PV, 98 nm rms and for fast steering mirror, $11.5\;{\mu}m$_PV, $3{\mu}m$ rms.

A study on the semiconductor laser-based atomic absorption spectroscopy was performed for monitoring physical vapor deposition process. Gadolinium metal was vaporized with a high evaporation rate by electron beam heating. Real-time atomic absorption spectra were measured by using tunable semiconductor laser beam at 770-794 nm (center wavelength of 780 nm) and its second harmonic at 388-396 nm. Atomic densities of metal vapor can be calculated from the absorption spectra measured. We plot the atomic densities as a function of the electron beam power and compare with the evaporation rates measured by quartz crystal monitor. We demonstrate that the semiconductor laser-based spectroscopic system developed in this study can be applied to monitor the physical vapor deposition process for other metals such as titanium.
