  • Differential absorption LIDAR (DIAL) is frequently used for atmospheric gas monitoring to detect impurities such as nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, iodine, and ozone. However, large differences in the on- and off-line laser wavelengths can cause serious errors owing to differential aerosol scattering. To resolve this problem, we have developed a new DIAL system for iodine vapor measurements in particular. The suggested DIAL system uses only one laser under seeded and unseeded conditions. To check the detection-sensitivity and error effects, we compared the results from a system using two seeded lasers with those from a system using a seeded and an unseeded laser. We demonstrate that the iodine concentration sensitivity of our system is improved in comparison to the conventional two seeded or two unseeded laser combinations.

  • The fine structure of retinal tissue was studied to investigate on effect of Laser irridation on the ICR mouse with electron microscope. The results obtained were as follows: 1. At the normal groups, the most retinal layers were a complex structure, consisting of several specific cells and nerve fiver. 2. In the increasing time of Laser irridation, each cell layer of retina was not uniform of the structure and band. The visual cells were severely heterochromatin swelling of cytoplasm, irregular shape & heterochromatin of nuclear, and disappear of some cytoplasm. The nucleus and nerve fiber of retinal layer was a very irregular shape, formation of vesicle, not identify of each intercellular boundary. The pigment epithelial cells were not an uniform, a large vesicle formation of cytoplasm, and a condensation & very irregular shape of nucleus.

  • Laser ablation with femtosecond lasers is highly promising for microfabrication of materials. Also, the high peak power of femtosecond lasers could induce a multiphoton absorption to ablate transparent materials. Similar results have also been were obtained in the case of optical fibers. In this paper, we present our experimental results of femtosecond laser microstructuring of optical fiber and its applications to microelectronic components and fiber optic devices. Finally, we directly produced micro holes with femtosecond laser pulses in a single step by moving an optical fiber in a preprogrammed structure. When water was introduced into a hole drilled from the bottom surface of the optical fiber, the effects of blocking and redeposition of ablated material were greatly reduced and the aspect ratio of the depth of the hole was increased. We have presented circular and rectangular-shaped holes in optical fiber.

  • The 1+1 two-photon Resonant Enhanced Multiphoton Ionization (REMPI) spectra of 1,4-dichlorobenzene was obtained from 240 nm through to 250 nm on a laser mass spectrometer. Special care was taken to build up a heatable sample inlet system suitable for detecting a trace semi-volatile organic compound and reducing the memory effort on the inner wall of the inlet system. The detection limits of 1,4-dichlorobenzene in ppbV/V concentration range at certain wavelengths are presented.

  • In terrestrial wireless optical communication links, atmospheric effects including turbulence, absorption and scattering have significant impact on the system performance. Based on the analysis of transmission in atmospheric channel concerning 830[nm] wavelength diode laser beam, performance of free space optical (FSO) link utilizing Galilean optics as a laser beam transmitting and receving optics, PIN photodiode as a detecting device. In this paper we designed optical link equation for received optical power and we analyze the atmospheric effects on the signal to noise ratio (SNR) and bit error rate (BER) of an terrestrial FSO system. We show that the possible communication distance for BER=$10^{-9}$ in proposed adverse atmospheric conditions.

  • The purpose of this work is that by using speckle phenomena of low-level He-Ne laser, it analyzes the movement condition of surface elements on a substance vibrating. The lights from laser reflect against a copper plate and will be shown as speckles on a vibration board. If we vibrate these speckles by sound waves of a speaker installed on the back, the speckles change with various shapes. When a vibration board has a maximum vibration, the frequency becomes a dynamical resonance frequency and we can mark the changes of speckles at that time on a vibration board.

  • Non-contacting, laser-based resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (L-RUS) was applied to characterize the microstructure of a material. L-RUS is widely used by virtue of its many features. Firstly, L-RUS can be used to measure mechanical damping which related to the microstructural variations (grain boundary, grain size, precipitation, defects, dislocations etc). Secondly, L-RUS technology can be applied to various areas, such as the noncontact and nondestructive quality test for precision components as well as noncontact and nondestructive materials characterization. In addition, L-RUS technology can measure the whole field resonant frequency at once. In this paper, we evaluated material characteristics such as resonant frequency, nonlinear propagation characteristic through the development of Laser-Based Resonant Ultrasound spectroscopy (Laser-RUS) System for the detection of Micro Crack in Materials.

  • Atmospheric effects on laser beam propagation can be broken down into two categories: attenuation of the laser power and fluctuation of laser power due to laser beam deformation. Attenuation consists of scattering of the laser light photons by the fog. Laser beam deformation occurs because of small-scale dynamic changes in the index of refraction of the atmosphere. This causes pointing error. In order to analyse these effect on optical wireless communication system, in this paper uses cassegrain optics as a transmitting and receiving telescope, AID as a detecting device and ill as a light source. The signal modulating and demodulating method is a IM/DD. I show the effects of fog and pointing error and calculate the possible communication distance for BER is $10^{-9}$.
