The transform limited optical short pulses are generated by compression of pulses from a gain switched distributed feedback laser at 5 GHz repetition rate. The gain-switched pulses have the minimum pulse width of 27 psec with the spectral width of 1.1 nm. Thus the output pulses have a large amount of linear chirp and nonlinear chirp. We suppress the nonlinear chirp by passing the pulses through the optical band pass filter with 3 dB band width of 0.55 nm which is narrower than spectral width of the input pulses and generate 7.1 psec pulses by compressing the output with the dispersion compensating fiber. The pulses have time-bandwidth product of 0.49 which is close to the transform limited gaussian pulse. These pulses can be utilized as optical sources in 40 Gbit/s time division multiplexed optical transmission system.

Nd:YLF regenerative amplifiers have proved to be reliable source for producing stable short pulses of high repetition rate. We used a convex-concave mirror design to optimize output energy and stability while minimizing the energy density on critical intracavity optical components. The Kd:YLF laser pulse is used as a seed pulse which has pulse width of 40 ps, energy of 100pJ, and wavelength of 1053 nm. The amplifier yields stable 1 mJ pulses at 3.5 kHz repetition rate, and the maximum energy is measured as 5 mJ.

A Kerr cell was utilized as an optical shutter to generate a shortened pulse and as an isolator between amplifiers in an iodine laser system. By rotating the polarization of incident laser pulse only during the timing window of high voltage applied to the Kerr cell, shortened pulses of 5 ns and 1 ns, corresponding to the difference in propagation time of two coaxial cables, were obtained. It was also noticed that more than one timing window of Kerr cell was produced with a long incident laser pulse from the oscillator. The measured transmittance of Kerr cell with respect to applied voltage was compared with the theoretical estimation using the electro-optic Kerr effect theory. Through the amplification of the shortened pulse in iodine amplifiers. a pulse of 0.5 GW(2 J in 4 ns) was obtained. ained.

펨토초 레이저의 개발은 커렌즈 모드록킹 (Kerr-lens mode-locking； KLM) 기술이 티타늄사파이어 이득매질에 적용되면서 1990년대에 들어 급격하게 이루어졌다. 구조가 간단하면서 안정적인 KLM 티타늄사파이어 레이저는 현재 펨토초 레이저 광원의 표준을 이루고 있으며, 처프펄스 증폭 (chirped-pulse amplification； CPA) 방식을 이용하여 소규모의 테라와트급 고출력 펨토초 레이저 제작에도 이용되고 있다. 특히, 1990년대 말에는 CPA 증폭단을 갖춘 KLM 티타늄사파이어 레이저가 상용화되면서 물리, 화학과 같은 기초 분야에서뿐만 아니라 의료용, 산업용으로도 활용이 확대되고 있다.

A tunable pulsed dye laser was operated in a single longitudinal mode by injection locking with a cw ring dye laser. A doubled Nd:YAG laser was used as the pumping source. Phase sensitive detection technique was applied to maintain the required match between the master laser frequency and the slave resonator cavity length. The fluctuation of the center frequency of the pulsed laser was < 10 MHz, and the pulse duration (FWHM) was 6 ns. The linewidth measured by scanning confocal interferometer was 130 MHz. When pumped by 50 mJ of the doubled Nd:YAG laser, the output energy of the pulsed dye laser was 2 mJ and the peak power was 330 kW. 30 kW.

A harmonically mode-locked fiber ring laser cavlty was theoretically analyzed. The measured charactenstlcs of a 10 GHz erbium-doped fiber ring laser were used as a basis of the theoretical analysis. From the nonlinear Schroedinger equation of an actively mode-locked erblUm-doped fiber laser. the effects of the components inside the laser cavity have been analyzed includmg nonlinear effects from group-velocity dispersion (GVD) and self-phase modulation (SPM).

Study, it is the purpose to develope a cheap and compact pulsed $CO_2$ laser with pulse repetition rate range of 1 KHz. We used a IGBT switched power supply as a power supply, which is cheap and simple comparing to others. PIC one-chip microprocessor was used for precise control of a laser power supply on the control part. And the laser cavity was fabricated as an axial and water cooled type. The laser performance characteristics as various parameters, such as pulse repetition rate, gas pressure, and gas mixture rate have been investigated. The experiment was done under the condition of total pressure of $CO_2$： $N_2$：He ＝ 1：3：10, 1：1.5：5, 1：9：15 from 6 Torr to 15 Torr and pulse repetition rate from 100 Hz to 900 Hz. As a result, the maximum average outpu was about 20.5 W at the total pressure of 15 Torr, the gas mixture $CO_2$：$N_2$：He ＝ 1：9：15 and the pulse repetition rate of 700 Hz.

The core loss of $3\%$ SiFe is strongly dependent on silicon content, impurities, permeability, and domain structure of the SiFe. Domain refining has been proved to be very good method for reduction of core loss in high permeability grain oriented SiFe, and laser scribing is well-blown as an effective and industrially important method of domain refinement. In this work, magnetic domain refinement has been carried out by using a pulsed Nd : YAG laser, and the core losses have been measured and analyzed to and optimal parameters of the laser treatment. The laser hem was focused with a spot size of $100{\mu}m$ and pulse energy of 10${\~}$35mJ and the lines were scribed with a period of ${\~}$5mm. The core loss was improved up to $17\%$ with 30 ns-Nd : YAG laser beam in $3\%$ SiFe.
