Cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) is a high-sensitive laser spectroscopic technique capable of measuring concentrations of trace gases. We have demonstrated a new design of the CRDS spectrometer with a continuous wave (CW) laser. The ring-dwon signal is produced through blocking the incident CW laser by scanning the cavity length fast toward off-resonance iwth PZT (piezoelectric transducer). We have also measured an absorption spectrum of acetylene overtone transitions near 570 nm at the pressure of 2700 Pa, and the minimum detectable absorption coefficient has been found to be about $3{\times}10^{-9}\cm^{-1}$.

High-power quasi-continuous-wave (qcw) operation in Yb-doped double-clad fiber lasers with near-diffraction-limited quality of the output beam is reported. Based on numerical simulation, we built a simple, all-fiberized Yb fiber laser, and a fiber-based master-oscillator power amplifier (MOPA). Both laser systems have successfully produced qcw output with average power greater than 150 W at 1080 nm and 10 ms pulse duration at 10 Hz repetition rate, corresponding to a peak power greater than 1.5 kW for 205 W of pump power at 976 nm. Laser performance, including beam quality and slope efficiency, was characterized in both configurations. Prospects for power scaling and applications are discussed.

$Nd:YVO_4$ 연속발진 레이저 (CW laser)를 이용하여 다결정실리콘 (CLC poly-Si)을 제작하였다. CLC 다결정 실리콘의 결정화 영역은 결정립 크기에 따라 SLC(Sequential Lateral Crystallization) 영역, SLG(Super Lateral Grain) 영역 및 Small Grain 영역으로 구분된다. 레이저를 중첩스캔 하여 제작한 CLC 다결정실리콘의 경우, 레이저 스캔 경계에서 단결정립이 형성됨을 SEM으로 확인하고, CLC 다결정실리콘의 결정성을 XRD와 라만 스펙트럼(Raman spectrum)을 이용하여 조사하였다.

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_

A Continous wave tunable $CO_2$ laser which is the slow axial flow type was construccted for the optical pumping of methyl alcohol ($CH_3OH$) laser. The reflective grating of 100 grooveslmm and 10.6$\mu\textrm{m}$ blaze wavelength was used to select wavelength. We have investigated continous outpu: power characteristics, and then have compared tuned output power profile with the gain curve of $CO_2$ laser. The optimum condition for maxium power was found at the gas mixing ratio 1 : 3 : 10 for $CO_2: N_2$ and He. under this condition the flow rate, pressure of lasing gas and discharge current are 9.5 llmin. 14 torr, and 55 mA respectively. The maxium output power was 55 Wlm. Output power of single wavelength operation was measured on 60 individual rotation vibration transitions in the P and K branches of the 9.5$\mu\textrm{m}$ band and 10.4$\mu\textrm{m}$ band in $CO_2$. The output power profile obtained from each band is well consistent with the gain curve of $CO_2$ laser and maxium tuned output power was 20 watt.

We have investigated the characteristics of a Nd:YAG laser pumped by a cw Ti:sapphire laser. When the pumping power of the Ti:sapphire laser was 850 ㎽, the maximum output power of the Nd:YAG laser was 450 ㎽. As a result, the slope efficiency for the output power of the Nd:YAG laser was measured to be 56%. We have also investigated the characteristics of a passively Q-switched Nd:YAG laser by using a Cr$^{4+}$:YAG as saturable absorber with initial transmission of 90%. The maximum average output power of 200 ㎽ was obtained with repetition rate of 23.8 KHz and pulse width of 17.0 ns.

We analyze the intensity characteristics of the output beams of the ring laser, in which only one mode is generated in each direction, within the neoclassical model by using the Maxwell-Bloch equation. Considering the Nd:YAG crystal as a gain medium, we investigate the stability and the modulation of the output beam intensity as the pumping rate, the relaxation or the decay rate, and the frequency detuning vary, upon taking into account the effect of the beam in one beam in one direction onto the beam in the other direction. In particular, we examine the variation of the output beam intensity and the stability condition through a computer simulation.

The purpose of this study is to develop the model to estimate the penetration rate of metal under a high power continuous wave laser irradiation. To estimate it, an empirical modeling is more practical when the penetration phenomena of metal by laser irradiation is too complex to be analyzed by the numerical simulation. When several methods published earlier were applied to our results, we found out that their methods were not appropriate as the model. Therefore, we suggested the new empirical method considering effective intensity as a key variable. As a result, we confirmed that the new method was effective to model the penetration rate of SUS304 metal and expected that it could be available to other metals.
