This study is related to the surface hardening treatment to spheroidal graphite cast iron for die by using high power diode laser. Laser device used in this experiment is capable of real-time laser power control. This is because the infrared temperature sensor (two color pyrometer) attached to the optical system measures the surface temperature of specimen and adjusts the laser power in real time. The surface treatment was carried out with the change of heat treatment temperature at the beam travel speed 3 mm/sec. Hardened width and depth was measured and hardened zone was analyzed by micro vickers hardness test in order to research the optimum condition of heat treatment. The changes in microstructure of the hardened zone also was examined. As a result of hardness measurement and observations on microstructure of hardened zone, hardness increased over three times as compared with base metal because the martensite was formed on the matrix structure.

펄스형 Nd:YAG 레이저는 연속형에 비해 효율이 높고 높은 첨두 출력(peak power)이 가능하므로 가공에 있어서 여러 가지 장점이 있다. 더구나 레이저 펄스 모양을 가변시키는 기능은 펄스형 Nd:YAG 레이저로 가공하기 힘든 특수분야에까지 가공을 가능하게 하였다. 본 연구에서는 3개의 플래쉬램프를 순차 점등시키는 MD(multi-discharge)방식의 레이저 시스템을 설계 및 제작하여, 램프 점등 시간의 변화에 따른 레이저 빔의 펄스폭과 펄스 세기(펄스 크기)를 조사하였다. 즉, PIC One-Chip microprocessor를 이용하여 실시간으로 3개의 플래쉬램프를 순차적으로 점등시켜 보다 다양한 펄스 모양을 만드는 기술을 개발하였다. 위 방식의 장점은 램프의 점등 지연시간을 0 $\sim$ 10ms 까지 다양하게 변화시킬 수 있고, 외부의 키보드로 실시간 제어가 가능하므로 보다 편리하게 펄스 모양을 변화시킬 수 있다. 또한 긴 펄스를 만들 수 있어 산업용 가공이나 의료용으로 널리 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

In this study, a solid-state laser system adopting a new real time multi-discharge (RTMD) method in which three flashlamps are turned on consecutively was designed and fabricated to examine the pulse width and the pulse shape of the laser beams depending upon the changes in the lamp rum-on time. That is, this study shows a technology that makes it possible to make various pulse shapes by turning on three flashlamps consecutively on a real-time basis with the aid of a PIC one-chip microprocessor. With this technique, the lamp turn-on delay time can be varied more diversely from 0 to 10 ms and the real-time control is possible with an external keyboard, enabling various pulse shapes. In addition, longer pulses can be more widely used for industrial processing and lots of medical purposes

Laser-generated ultrasonic inspection system is a non-contact scanning inspection device with high spatial resolution and wide bandwidth. The amplitude of laser-generated ultrasound is varied according to the energy of pulse laser and the surface conditions of an object where the CW measuring laser beam is pointing. In this paper, we correct the generating errors by measuring the energy of pulse laser beam and correct the measuring errors by extracting the gain information of laser interferometer at each time. h dynamic stabilizer is developed to stably scan on the surface of an object for an laser-generated ultrasonic inspection system. The developed system generates ultrasound after adaptively finding the maximum gain time of an laser interferometer and processes the signal in real time after digitization with high speed. In this paper, we describe hardware configuration and control algorithm to build a stable laser-generated ultrasonic inspection system. Also, we confirmed through experiments that the proposed correction method for the generating errors and measuring errors is effective to improve the performance of a system.

The important parameters deciding the fluctuation of laser beam are smoothing capacitor, frequency and the characteristics of laser resonator. In this thesis, we control the fluctuation of $CO_2$ laser in realtime by changing Duty-Ratio of IGBT and switching frequency with fixed the smoothing capacitor to improve the fluctuation of laser beam. We detect the light on laser resonator using a CdS photo sensor to improve ripple factor of laser beam and feedback fluctuated signals refined by a band pass filter into the control circuit to stabilize fluctuation actively. There is much to be desired in the realtime controlling technique of the light on laser discharge tube in electrical signal. We propose switching control technique with microprocessor and photo sensing technique by controlling switch devices optimum operation and feedback signals detected by a photo sensor into the laser power supply in order to improve ripple factor of the $CO_2$ laser beam.
