Carbon nitride films have been deposited on Si(100) substrate by a high voltage discharge plasma combined with laser ablation in a nitrogen atmosphere. The films were grown both with the without the presence of an assisting focused Nd:YAG laser ablation. The laser ablation of the graphite target leads to vapor plume plasma expending into th ambient nitrogen arc discharge area. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy were used to identify the binding structure and the content of the nitrogen species in the deposited films. The nitrogen content of the films was found to increase drastically with an increase of nitrogen pressure. The surface morphology of the films was studied using a scanning electron microscopy. Data of infrared spectroscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicate the existence of carbon-nitrogen bonds in the films. The x-ray diffraction measurements have also been taken to characterize the crystal properties of the obtained films.

The results of investigating $SiL_{2,3}$/ X-ray emission valence spectra of amorphous silicon films irradiated by excimer laser are presented. It is found that laser annealing leads to crystallization of amorphous silicon films and the crystallinity increases with the laser energy density from 250 to 400 mJ/$\textrm{cm}^2$. The vertical structure of the film is investigated by changing the accelerating voltage on the X-ray tube, and the chemical and structural state of Si$_3$N$_4$ buffer layer is found not to be changed by the excimer laser treatment.

The hutches which are installed in the beamline are largely classified into two, i.e XPP (X-ray pump probe) and CXI (Coherent X-ray image). Laser room is installed on the hutch and provides laser to XPP and CXI simultaneously. And two hutches have heavy crane to install some optics equipments. Safety and reliability of hutch structures should be taken into account for the precise operating of the laser facilities, so vibration analysis is essential to do this. The main purpose of vibration analysis is to install hutch structures with large stiffness. We have changed materials specification several times to install hutch structures having strong stiffness. Now hutch structures were installed and checked vibration status at laser room and XPP hutch. The results of laser table and robot arm satisfy vibration criteria. This paper explains about the design and vibration analysis of hutch structures.

1-GW Iodine photodissociation Laser (λ=1.315${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$)is focused to generate the continuum x-ray radiation at titanium(z=22)target. A piced of aluminum(360 )-mylar(8${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) film is used to isolate the soft X-ray radiation emitted. Convex-xurved mica crystal spectrometer is used to obtain the soft x-ray spectra from the laser titanium target plasma and the slope of continum X-ray spectra are found to show two different different electron effective temperaturres, 0.11keV and 7.1KeV. We compare the two temperature result with the foil absorption method.

Soft x-ray microscopy provides a unique set of capabilities in-between those of visible light and electron microscopy. It has long been recognized that nature provides a 'water window' spectral region between the K shell x-ray absorption edges of carbon (~290eV) and oxygen (~540eV), where organic materials show strong absorption and phase contrast, while water is relatively non-absorbing. This enables imaging of hydrated biological specimens that are several microns thick with high intrinsic contrast using x-rays with a wavelength of 2.3~4.4nm. Soft X-ray microscopy is therefore well suited to the study of specimens like single biological cells. The most direct advantage of X-ray microscope is their high spatial resolution when compared with visible light microscopes, combined with an ability to image hydrated specimens that are several microns with a minimum of preparation. Our study describes the conceptual design of soft x-ray microscope system based on a laser-based source for biomedical application with high resolution ($\leq$50nm) and short exposure time ($\leq$30sec).

X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) has been known to be a dream X-ray source opening an epoch in X-ray science with the characteristics of femtosecond pulse, perfect transverse coherence, and ultra-high brightness. Here we introduce the XFEL source shortly and report the status of the worldwide XFEL facilities, and then the experimental instrumentations for XFEL are reviewed in their conceptual classification scheme. Scientific examples and applications proposed in the research area of magnetism for XFEL are briefly mentioned. Finally are summarized the facility overview and the scientific proposals for PAL-XFEL project.

An X-ray Free Electron laser facility (PAL-XFEL) has been built in Pohang Accelerator Laboratory to provide X-ray FEL radiations for photon users. The machine consists of a 10 GeV normalconducting S-band linear accelerator and two undulator beamlines. The hard and soft X-ray beamlines will provide FEL radiations with wavelengths of 0.6 to 0.1 nm and 4.5 to 1 nm, respectively. Beam commissioning of PAL-XFEL is ongoing and user service will start in 2017. In this report, the PAL-XFEL layout and the working principle are discussed.

In this paper, polyimide (PI) surface was modified by UV Laser with a low laser fluence and investigated changes of surface geometry and chemical characteristics by SEM (scanning electron microscope), X-ray diffraction (XRD), XPS (x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) and the measurements of contact angle of water. PI surface was peeled off and modified with microstructure fabrications by photochemical ablation over the laser fluence of 50 mJ/cm2. As laser fluence increased, delamination of PI surface was occurred largely and strongly. In chemical characteristics, the O/C and N/C atomic ratios increased and contact angle decreased from $80^{\circ}$ to $40^{\circ}$.

A chirped-pulse amplification femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser operating at 1 KHz has been developed. The laser system consisted of a long-cavity femtosecond oscillator, a four-pass grating pulse stretcher, two multi-pass amplifiers and a double-pass grating pulse compressor. Thermal lensing at the amplifiers was reduced by cooling Ti:sapphire crystals using Peltier coolers. Gain narrowing and residual phase errors were compensated for by the use of an acousto-optic pulse shaper. The final laser output had an energy per pulse of 2.0 mJ and a pulse duration of 19.5 fs, reaching 0.1 TW at 1 KHz.
