A noncontact nondestructive testing (NDT) method is proposed to detect the damage of pipeline structures and to identify the location of the damage. To achieve this goal, a scanning laser source actuation technique is utilized to generate a guided wave and scans a specific area to find damage location more precisely. The ND: YAG pulsed laser is used to generate Lamb wave and a piezoelectric sensor is installed to measure the structural responses. The measured responses are analyzed using three dimensional Fourier transformation (3DFT). The damage-sensitive features are extracted by wavenumber filtering based on the 3D FT. Then, flaw imaging techniques of a pipeline structures is conducted using the damage-sensitive features. Finally, the pipes with notches are investigated to verify the effectiveness and the robustness of the proposed NDT approach.

To evaluate the quantitative nature of laser fluorescence(LF) and dye-enhanced laser fluorescence(DELF) on early enamel caries, artificial caries were induced on the bovine enamels and argon laser was irradiated on the surfaces of lesions. Fluorescence radiance from enamel specimen was recorded with CCD camera which was connected to PC image analyzing system. The difference of fluorescence of radiance(DFR) between the carious and the sound enamel in each sample of the LF and the DELF groups were measured by image analyzing program. The DFR of lesion surfaces measured with laser fluorescence and lesion depths were evaluated and the results are as follows: The caries lesions were discriminated from sound enamels by the darkness with LF and by the brightness with DELF. The DELF was more sensitive than the LF at the earlier stage of demineralization.

This paper presents a study of laser output characteristics. We fabricated a MOPA (master oscillator power amplifier)-type high-power, narrowbandwidth fiber laser with a bidirectional pumping configuration in its main amplifier. As signal beams, light sources with bandwidths of 3 GHz and 10 GHz-phase-modulated through a PRBS (pseudo-random binary sequence)-were used interchangeably. Furthermore, the characteristics of the SBS (stimulated Brillouin scattering) were analyzed using a signal beam with 3 GHz bandwidth, by adjusting the forward to backward pumppower ratio. Moreover, the characteristics of the transverse mode instability were analyzed by adjusting the forward to backward pump-power ratio, using a signal beam with 10-GHz bandwidth. Finally, the output power from 10 GHz bandwidth was amplified to more than 1 kW using a forward to backward pump-power ratio of 1.6. The beam quality M² was measured to be approximately 1.36, and the optical-to-optical efficiency was 80% at maximum output power.

In this study, quantitative nitric oxide concentration distributions are investigated in the laminar nonpremixed $H_2/N_2$ flames by laser-induced fluorescence (LIF). The measurements are taken in flames for different $N_2$ dilution ratios varying from 20${\sim}$80%, and fuel now rate is fixed as lslpm. The NO A-X (0,0) vibrational band around 226 nm is excited using a XeCl excimer-pumped dye laser. We applied same excitation line used in $CH_4$ premixed flame. Overall, NO concentration was rapidly decreased with $N_2$ addition and we could not measure the concentration any longer for $N_2$ dilution above 80%.

Non-ozone layer destructive Chlorofluorocarbon(CFC) altematives(CHCIF$_{2}$ and $C_{2}$H$_{2}$F$_{4}$) have been initially used for laser-induced thenrmochemical etching of GaAs. High etching rate up to 188.mu.m/sec and an aspect ratio of 2.7 have been achieved by a single scan of laser beam, respectively. The etching rate at constant ambient gas pressure was found to saturate for beam power. The chemical compositions of the reaction products deposited on the etched groove were measured by Auger electron microscopy(AES). Etched profile, depth and width were observed by scanning electron microscope(SEM).

In this study, quantitative nitric oxide concentration distributions are investigated in the post-flame zone of laminar premixed $CH_4/O_2/N_2$, flames by laser-induced fluorescence (LIF). The measurements are taken in flames for different equivalence ratios varying from $0.8{\sim}1.4$, and flow rate is fixed as 5slpm. The NO A-X (0,0) vibrational band around 226 nm is excited using a XeCl excimer-pumped dye laser. Selecting an appropriate NO transition minimizes interferences from Rayleigh scattering and $O_2$ fluorescence. NO concentration is rised when equivalence ratios increase at different vertical distances form nozzle tip. In any case, the maximum NO concentration reaches the maximum in reaction zone.

초미세 레이저 가공기술은 미세화, 대면적화, 고속화의 방향으로 발전되고 있다. 이에 따라 이를 대응한 레이저의 사양도 파장의 단파장화 또는 펄스폭의 극초단화, 펄스 반복률의 고반복률화, 출력의 고출력화가 요구되고 있다. 극초단 펄스레이저는 사용자 편의성, 안정성 측면에서 산업체의 요구에 미흡하다. 이에 따라 산업용 초미세 레이저 가공을 위한 광원으로 고품질, 고출력의 단파장 자외선 레이저 활용에 집중하고 있다. 현재 고품질 자외선 레이지는 DPSSL 형태로 구성되어 출시되고 있고, 거의 대부분 수입에 의존하고 있다. 국내외 자외선 UV 현황을 간단히 기술하고, 광주과기원 고등광기술연구소에서 산업원천기술개발사업의 일환으로 개발중인 복합형 자외선 DPSSL에 대한 개발 계획 레이저 특성과 현재의 개발 진행 상황을 소개한다.

Detection of halogens using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) in open air is very difficult since their strong atomic emission lines are located in VUV region. In NIR region, there are other emission lines of halogens through electronic transitions between excited states. However, these lines undergo Stark broadening severely. We report the observation of the emission lines of halogens in laser-induced plasma (LIP) spectra in NIR region using a helium gas flow. Particularly, the emission lines of iodine at 804.374 and 905.833 nm from LIPs have been observed for the first time. In the helium ambient gas, Stark broadening of the emission lines and background continuum emission could be suppressed significantly. Variations of the line intensity, plasma temperature, and electron density with the helium flow rate was investigated. Detection of chlorine and bromine in flame retardant of rubbers was demonstrated using this method. Finally, we suggest a pulsed helium gas jet as a practical and ecomonical helium gas source for the LIBS analysis of halogens in open air.

전자기 유도 투과란 매질 속을 진행하는 빛의 투과가 다른 강한 빛의 작용으로 증가하게 되는 결맞음 현상을 말한다. 이러한 전자기 유도 투과는 또한 굴절율의 변화를 동반하게 되며, 그 결과 매질을 진행해 나가는 레이저빔은 유도 집속 및 확산, 또는 자체집속 및 확산의 제거 등을 겪게 된다. 이러한 원리를 이용하여 M. Jain 등은 납 증기에서 원공명 조건의 결맞음 밀도 포획을 이용한 자체집속의 제거에 성공한바 있다. (중략)
