We fabricate a polarization-independent dielectric multilayer thin-film diffraction grating for a spectral-beam-combining (SBC) system with a simple grating structure and low aspect ratio. Due to the refractive index and thickness error of the manufactured thin films, the diffraction efficiency of the fabricated diffraction grating was lower than that of the design. The causes of the errors were analyzed, and it was confirmed through simulation that diffraction efficiency could be compensated through an additional coating on the manufactured diffraction grating. As a result of sputtering an additional Ta₂O₅ layer on a fabricated diffraction grating, the diffraction efficiency was corrected and a maximum 91.7% of polarization-independent diffraction efficiency was obtained.

An experimental investigation with diode laser system was carried out to study the effect of surface heat treatment on the die materials(SM45C, SKD11, SK3). The surface heat treatment characteristics of the laser beam are evaluated using hardness tests, optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS). Results indicated that the beam size, focal length, feed rates are changed surface hardened characteristics. SM45C is higher hardness than other materials and composed to martensite grain at hardened zone, whereas other materials(SKD11, SK3)are low hardness than expected and composed to austenite and allayed martensite at hardened zone. The intensive X-ray diffraction patterns of (110)-(200)-(211) is detected hardened surface and the hardened surface distributed plenty of carbon density than metal zone.

A slit-flow apparatus with laser diffraction method has been developed with significant advances in ektacytometry design, operation and data analysis. In the slit-flow ektacytometry (or laser-diffractometry), the deformation of red blood cells subjected to continuously decreasing shear stress in slit flow is measured. A laser beam traverses a diluted blood suspension flowing through a slit and is diffracted by RBCs in the volume. The diffraction patterns are captured by a CCD-video camera, linked to a frame grabber integrated with a computer, while the differential pressure variation is measured by a pressure transducer. Both measurements of laser-diffraction image and pressure with respect to time enable to determine deformation index and the shear stress. The range of shear stress of 0 ${\sim}$ 35 Pa and measuring time is less than 2 min. When deforming under decreasing shear stress, RBCs change gradually from the prolate ellipsoid towards a circular biconcave morphology. The Deformation Index (DI) as a measure of RBC deformability is determined from an isointensity curve in the diffraction pattern using an ellipse-fitting program. The advantages of this design are simplicity, i.e., ease of operation and no moving parts, low cost, short operating time, and the disposable kit which is contacted with blood sample.

Spectral Beam Combining (SBC) is used for a high-power fiber laser in order to overcome the power limitation of single fiber laser. In SBC, several laser bwams with different wavelengths are combined to obtain a single-aperture beam by diffraction grating. The combining efficiency is dependent on a linewidth, beam quality and specific wavelength of each beam among others. In this paper, we consider the method of a wavelength monitoring and a feedback control of laser diodes used as seeds of laser beams to obtain optimum combining conditions. In order to measure the wavelengths of multi-beam, we use the high resolution camera and diffraction grating with 1,800l/mm. The experiment results show the possibility of feedback control of a current and temperature of multi-seed laser diodes to obtain optimum wavelengths for SBC.

Parallel femtosecond laser processing using a computer-generated hologram (CGH) displayed on a liquid crystal spatial light modulator (LCSLM) is demonstrated. The use of the LCSLM enables to perform an arbitrary and variable patterning. This holographic femtosecond laser processing has advantages of high throughput and high light-use efficiency. A critical issue is to precisely control the intensities of the diffraction peaks of the CGH. We demonstrate some methods for the control of the diffraction peaks. We also demonstrate the laser processing with two-dimensional and three-dimensional parallelism.

In this paper, we investigated the diffraction grating efficiency on Ag-doped amorphous chalcogenide Ag/AsSeS thin film for used to volume hologram. The film thickness was 2 um and diffraction efficiency was obtained from He-Ne (632.8nm) and DPSS(532nm) (P:P) polarized laser beam on Ag/AsSeS thin films. As a result, for the films, the maximum grating diffraction efficiency using He-Ne laser(632nm) is 0.15%[2000sec]. And then The recording speed of DPSS laser was about 40s which of batter than He-Ne lasers.

We design a polarization-independent dielectric multilayer thin-film diffraction grating for a spectral-beam-combining (SBC) system with a simple grating structure and low aspect ratio. To maintain the high quality of the SBC beam, we propose a multilayer mirror structure in which the wavefront distortion due to stress accumulation is minimized. Moreover, to prevent light absorption from contamination, an optimized design to minimize the grating thickness was performed. The optimally designed diffraction grating has 99.36% diffraction efficiency for -1st-order polarization-independent light, for incidence at the Littrow angle and 1055-nm wavelength. It is confirmed that the designed diffraction grating has sufficient process margin to secure a polarization-independent diffraction efficiency of 96% or greater.

We investigated the diffraction grating efficiency by the Diode Pumped Solid State(DPSS 532 nm) laser beam wavelength to improve the diffraction efficiency on $As_{40}Ge_{10}Se_{15}S_{35},\;Ag/As_{40}Ge_{10}Se_{15}S_{35}$ and $As_{40}Ge_{10}Se_{15}S_{35}/Ag/As_{40}Ge_{10}Se_{15}S_{35}$ thin film. Diffraction efficiency was obtained from DPSS laser, used (P:P)polarized laser beam on each thin films. As a result, for the laser beam intensity in $0.24mW/cm^2$, single $As_{40}Ge_{10}Se_{15}S_{35}$ thin film shows the highest value of 0.161% diffraction efficiency at 300 s and for laser beam intensity in $2.4mW/cm^2$, it was recorded with the fastest speed of 50 s(0.013%), which the diffraction grating forming speed is faster than that of $0.24mW/cm^2$ beam. $Ag/As_{40}Ge_{10}Se_{15}S_{35}$ double layer and $As_{40}Ge_{10}Se_{15}S_{35}/Ag/As_{40}Ge_{10}Se_{15}S_{35}$ multi-layered thin film also show the faster grating forming speed at $2.4mW/cm^2$ and higher value of diffraction efficiency at $0.24mW/cm^2$.

In this paper, we investigated the diffraction grating efficiency on AsSeS and Ag-doped amorphous chalcogenide Ag/AsSeS thin film for used to volume hologram. The Chalcogenide film thickness was 0.5um and Ag thin film was varied from 10nm and 20nm. Diffraction efficiency was obtained from (P:P) polarized Diode Pumped Solid State laser(DPSS, 532.0nm: 200mW) beam on AsSeS and Ag/AsSeS thin films. As a results, diffraction grating was not formed at AsSeS thin film but at Ag-doped AsSeS thin film, diffraction grating was formed well compare with the former.
