Target design study to improve the quality of an accelerated proton beam from the interaction of a high-intensity short pulse laser with an overdense plasma slab has been accomplished by using a two-dimensional, fully electromagnetic and relativistic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation. The target consists of a thin core part and a thick peripheral part of equivalent plasma densities, while the ratio of the radius of the core part to the laser spot size, and the position of the peripheral part relative to the fixed core part were varied. The positive effects of this core-peripheral target structure could be expected from the knowledge of the typical target normal sheath acceleration (TNSA) mechanism in a laser-plasma interaction, and were apparently evidenced from the comparison with the case of a conventional simple planar target and the case of the transversal size reduction of the simple planar target. Improvements of the beam qualities including the collimation, the forward directionality, and the beam divergence were verified by detailed analysis of relativistic momentum, angular directionality, and the spatial density map of the accelerated protons.

Nowadays, CO2 lasers are used widely in many applications such as materials fabrication, communications, remote sensing and military purpose etc. Especially, CO2 lasers are in the spotlight at surface handling and heat processing. It is important to control the laser output power and beam quality in those fields. To increase beam qualify, We used the feedback system by various sensors. Although, CO2 lasers' output beam became feedback, its beam affected the irradiated material target already. Since, ideal real time control have still the problem to solve. Hence, we need the new proposal for more precise laser processing. So we expect the new effect how to change the irradiated material target as the kind of, processing time and output density caused by the CO2 laser beam. In this study, We have investigated the characteristics of the temperature and HAZ(Heat Affected Zone) by CO2 laser output with IR temperature sensor and RTD.

Thin Beam Excimer Laser Annealing is investigated as one possible process enabled by the variable concept of Thin Beam LTPS processing. The structure of the resulting p-Si material is analyzed in terms of grain size distribution, scaling with energy density and overlap, as well as average surface roughness. This process provides similar control and latitude as conventional excimer laser annealing, but reduced average surface roughness and the potential to be scaled to significant productivity levels.

In - process measurement of surface roughness is introduced which employs an optical method by using laser beam. This makes it possible to detect the surface roughness not only along the circurnferential path but also along the feed direction even during machining. The maximum roughness value is always abtainable from the reading along the feed direction.

Surface heat treatment using a laser beam or an electron beam is studied through numerical analyses and experiments. For the surface heat treatment process, a theoretical model is developed to predict the effects of laser beam power, travel speed and properties of a workpiece on the depth and width of the heat affected zone(HAZ). The shape of HAZ and the hardness of heat-treated surface are experimentally obtained using an electron beam. Three materials(SS41, S45C and S55C) are selected as workpiece materials. The hardness of HAZ is increased up to 3 times for materials of a low carbon content. The results of the numerical analysis are compared with those of experiments. The comparison shows that the numerical model predicts larger depths and widths.

A numerical simulation is presented for investigating the effects of pressure ratio of $D_2$ injector to supersonic nozzle on the population inversion in the DF chemical laser cavity, while a lasing concurrently takes place. The laser beam is generated between the mirrors in the cavity and it is important to obtain stronger population inversion and more uniform distribution of the excited molecules in the laser cavity in order to produce high power laser beam with good quality. In this study, these phenomena are investigated by means of analyzing the distributions of the DF excited molecules and the F atom used as an oxidant, while simultaneously estimating the maximum small signal and saturated gains and power in the DF chemical laser cavity. For the numerical solution, an 11-species (including DF molecules in various excited states of energies), 32-step chemistry model is adopted for the chemical reaction of the DF chemical laser system. The results are discussed by comparison with two $D_2$injector pressure cases; 192 torr and 388.64 torr. Major results reveal that in the resonator, stronger population inversions occur in the all transitions except DF(1)-DF(0), when the $D_2$injection pressure is lower. But, the higher $D_2$injection pressure provides a favorable condition for DF(1)-DF(0) transition to generate the higher power laser beam. In other words, as the pressure of $D_2$injector increases, the maximum small signal gain in the $V_{1-0}$ transition, which is in charge of generating most of laser power, becomes higher. Therefore, the total laser beam power becomes higher.r.

The maximum butt-joint gap size in $CO_2$ laser beam welding of SAPH steel plates with different thicknesses and its bending formability were studied. In the range of the gap size$\geq$0.1mm, the optimal butt welding speed was faster than that of no gap (air gap) condition. This behaviour was independent on the difference of thickness at any combination. Also, the allowable gap size in steel plates with different thicknesses was larger than with same thicknesses. In the range of $T/T_0$(bead shape) $\geq$ 0.8, good bending formability was obtained at any combination of thickness. The formability was improved by reducing the hardness in weld bead using pre-heating process. Finally, FEM result of the laser beam welded underframe with different thicknesses was compared to that of the conventional spot welded underframe.

Active range finders using laser beam have been widely used for the factory automation and quality assurance, but they may be unreliable if the object' slope is steep or its surface is specular. The reliability of an active range finder was analyzed for the variation of the reflected laser beam intensity. First, the properties of the object's reflection were modeled by using the bidirectional reflectance-distribution function(BRDF), and then the variation of the laser beam brightness was formulated for the different configuratioin of the object and sensor. The experimental data of the laser beam reflection were obtained for two materials, mild steel and stainless steel. The parameters of the proposed model were obtained by fitting the data of the mild steel to the model and it was found that the results calculated from the proposed model were in good agreement with the experimental data.

This study is about an effect on a characteristics of the laser heat treatment as a optic systems which have a transverse beam mode each other. An experiment are carried out using a circular gaussian beam optics and rectangular beam optics. Generally, the optic system which has a uniform power intensity is mainly used in the laser heat treatment process. In this study, we would like to carried out experiments simultaneously using two optic systems and research the differences from a characteristics of the laser heat treatment.
