A diffraction limited optical system for head mounted displays (HMDs) was designed. This optical system consists of four modules, including 1:5 mm and 5:30 mm beam expanders, polarization grating-polarization conversion system (PG-PCS) and refractive/diffractive projection optical module. The PG-PCS module transforms the unpolarized Gaussian beam to a linearly polarized beam and it simultaneously homogenizes the spatial intensity profile. The optical projector module has a $30^{\circ}$ field of view, a 22 mm eye relief, and a 10 mm exit pupil diameter with a compact structure. Common acrylic materials were utilized in the optical design process; therefore, the final optical system was lightweight. The whole optical system is suitable for a 0.7 inch liquid crystal on silicon microdisplay (LCOS) with HDTV resolution ($1920{\times}1080$) and $8.0{\mu}m$ pixel pitch.

World demand for natural gas has generated the need for many new land transmission pipelines to be installed in the next decade or so. Although mechanized gas metal arc welding is well developed, there are opportunities for cost savings by using alternative welding processes. Hybrid Nd:YAG laser - gas metal arc welding enables fibre optic delivery of the laser energy to a robotic welding head to be combined with the addition of extra energy and a consumable to produce good quality, deep penetration welds in a single pass. The present paper describes initial procedure development to optimize the laser and gas metal arc welding parameters for making joints in pipeline steel. Satisfactory joint quality was obtained and it is intended to develop the process to prototype field trials.

The laser interferometer has been used for measurement of the micro displacement error. Although the laser interferometer is widely accepted as a tool for measurement of motion accuracy, the set-up procedure is time-consuming because of the strict requirement on alignment between a laser head and optic units. This paper addresses the development of a laser interferometer to measure the micro displacement for a micro machine. The portable laser interferometer which integrates a laser probe and optics, is developed for the convenient measurement. For the experiment, moving mirror set up on the micro stage. The velocity decoding board is also added to calculate doppler shift frequency directly. The output signal is obtained and analyzed by LabView. Finally experiments are found out the relation between micro displacement and output signal.

This research is on a laser soldering using the micro solder-balls used in flip chip packaging process. A laser source used in laser soldering is Nd:YAG laser(250W and 60W). Solder-balls of 100, 300, $500{\mu}m$ size are used in experiments. The laser head to deliver a laser beam and the nozzle to transfer solder-balls are manufactured to bump solder-balls. After soldering solder-balls the shear test is carried out to determine the wetting at the interface between the surface and a solder-balls With the results of solder bumping tests a laminated molding is accomplished for manufacturing the three dimensional molding.

The accuracy of high speed feeding type laser cutting M/C is the major factor directly concerned with the accuracy of the processed work, and the feed errors of feed system make the machining errors of work directly on processing. In this point, this study focused on the generative elements in feed errors of laser cutting M/C when operating its laser head. In order to improve the accuracy of this machining center, feed errors are measured by a laser interferometer.

Lasers are necessity in our life related to the fields of medicine and cosmetic surgery. With 808 nm diode laser and $CO_2$ laser, we made some wounds on a dorsum of rat by laser irradiation. All of irradiations shows thermal effects on the whole region of skin tissues. They make wound damage depending on laser power and irradiation time. Because a collagen is plays an important role in tissue repair, we studied collagen accumulation in wound tissue. For wound healing, collagen accumulation was found in the near region of damage in epidermis and dermis layer of the rat skin. In case of the quantitative analysis of collagen in wound tissue, the amount of collagen in wound tissue by $CO_2$ laser irradiation is higher than that of 808 nm diode laser irradiation. And re-epithelialization was significantly faster in wound by $CO_2$ laser irradiation compared with that of 808 nm diode laser irradiation.

A multi-user autostereoscopic display based on laser scanning is described in this paper. It does not require the wearing of special glasses; it can provide 3D to several viewers who have a large degree of freedom of movement; and it requires the display of only a minimum amount of information. The display operates by providing regions in the viewing field, referred to as "exit pupils," which follow the positions of the viewers' eyes under the control of a multi-user head tracker. The display incorporates an RGB laser illumination source that illuminates a light engine. The light directions are controlled by a spatial light modulator, and a front screen assembly incorporates a novel Gabor superlens. Its operating principle is explained in this paper, as is the construction of three iterations of the display. Finally, a method of developing the display into one that is suitable for television applications is described.

Head fixed type multi-focus display system using Galvano-scanner and DMD(Digital Micro-mirror Device), which is able to perfectly accommodate, can solve eye fatigue due to conflict between convergence eye movement and accommodation action in stereoscopic display. This system is able to accommodate through making convergence point about each view point and offering it in front of observer's pupil by using laser scanning method. In this paper, we analyzed laser scanning method of this multi-focus display system. And multi-focus display system based on this analysis was made, which showed that focus adjustment was possible through video camera. As a result, formation principle of view point of multi-focus system by laser scanning method was verified.

A compact and two-dimensional atomic force microscope (AFM) using an orthogonal sample scanner, a calibrated homodyne laser interferometer and a commercial AFM head was developed for use in the nano-metrology field. The x and y position of the sample with respect to the tip are acquired by using the laser interferometer in the open-loop state, when each z data point of the AFM head is taken. The sample scanner which has a motion amplifying mechanism was designed to move a sample up to $100{\times}100{\mu}m^2$ in orthogonal way, which means less crosstalk between axes. Moreover, the rotational errors between axes are measured to ensure the accuracy of the calibrated AFM within the full scanning range. The conventional homodyne laser interferometer was used to measure the x and y displacements of the sample and compensated via an X-ray interferometer to reduce the nonlinearity of the optical interferometer. The repeatability of the calibrated AFM was measured to sub-nm within a few hundred nm scanning range.

In this study, a noncontact laser ultrasonic system is proposed for rail defect detection. An Nd-Yag pulse laser is used for generation of ultrasonic waves, and the corresponding ultrasonic responses are measured by a laser Doppler vibrometer. For the detection of rail surface damages, the shape of the excitation laser beam is transformed into a line. On the other hand, a point source laser beam is used for the inspection of defects inside a rail head. Then, the interactions of propagating ultrasonic waves with defects are examined using actual rail specimens. Amplitude attenuation was mainly observed for a surface crack, and reflections were most noticeable from an internal damage. Finally, opportunities and challenges associated with real-time rail inspection from a high-speed train are discussed.
