  • Liquid Crystal Spatial Light Modulators (LC-SLMs) provide many interesting applications in laser optics and opto-electronic systems, in addition to displays. Among them, three topics developed at Thales Research & Technology are reviewed: wavefront correction for laser beam control, microwave processing in radar systems and holography for TN-LCDs viewing angle compensation.

  • In this paper we present work done by Kodak Graphic-Communications-Group and our partners demonstrating applications where laser direct imaging could replace photolithography in display manufacturing. Such applications range from direct manufacturing (e.g. LCD color-filters) to producing “masters” where manufacturing is done by traditional printing methods (e.g. flexography, Gravure-printing).

  • With the recent advent of various ultrashort pulse lasers, time-resolved laser spectroscopic techniques have been widely recognized as versatile tools to study ultrafast phenomena in many research areas. These techniques are currently being employed not only to study atomic and molecular physics but to characterize the excited state or the carrier dynamics on surfaces of semiconductors, metals and thin layer materials. Also the sweetching speed measurement of ultrafast electro-optic devices using ultrashort laser pulses becomes important in high-speed electronics. Here, some principles of spectroscopic techniques with ps or fs lasers and their applications are summarized briefly.

  • Additive manufacturing technology is taking great attentions in these days because the term 3D-printing became a hot issue as the next generation manufacturing paradigm. Especially, laser additive manufacturing is at the center of interest thanks to the accuracy compared to other heat sources. In this report, recent papers about laser additive manufacturing are analyzed and reviewed. General technology is specified into three different categories and they are laser sintering, laser melting and laser metal deposition. Similarities and differences are clearly described by detailed technologies and used materials type. Representative application examples are selected then future of this technology is expected through those applications. Additionally, market of laser additive manufacturing systems itself and application fields are also predicted based on present 3D-printing market and technical progressions.

  • Amplified pulsed laser beam with narrow linewidth was generated from CW laser beam with narrow linewidth by using frequency doubled Nd:YAG laser beam and Bethune cell. The degree of the frequency chirping of the amplified pulse laser was measured by using the heterodyne method and obtained by calculating instantaneous phase change from heterodyne beating signals. The frequency chirping of amplified pulsed laser beam from CW laser beam with sub-MHz linewidth by 10 ns pulse was 80 MHz so that pulsed laser beam with very narrow linewidth was obtained.

  • A polypropylene film was ablated using a $CO_2$ laser, Ti-sapphire femtosecond laser, and UV nanosecond laser. For modified atmosphere packaging, polypropylene films were ablated by laser pulse with different pulse energies and measured on an optical microscope. Also, we observed the shelf life of a banana contained within packaging of a breathable zipper bag. As a result, we have demonstrated that the breathable film can efficiently extend the shelf life of respiring foods, particularly fresh fruits and vegetables. The development of breathable film laser microfabrication system will more useful for industrial applications.

  • Direct laser melting(DLM) is promising as a joining method for producing parts for automobiles, aerospace, marine and medical applications. An advantageous characteristic of DLM is that it affects the parent metal very little. The mechanical properties of parts made by DLM are strongly affected by the porosity and surface roughness of the laser melted beads. This is a systematic study of the effects of the porosity and surface roughness of laser melted beads using various processing parameters, such as laser power, scan rate and overlapping ratio of the fill spacing. The specimens were fabricated with 316L and 304L austenitic stainless steel powder. Dense parts with low porosity were obtained at low laser scan speed, as it increased the aspect ratio of the parental material and the depth of penetration. The variations of surface roughness were examined at various processing parameters such as overlapping ratio and laser power.
