This paper presents the position tracking control of a laser scanning mirror system in which piezoelectic actuator is incorporated. Using the shear mode of the piezoelectric actuator,angular oscillation of a laser scanning mirror is derived. Torsion bar is rhen designed and attached to the piezoelctric actuator in order to magnify the amplitude generated by the actuator. Finite element modeling and analysis are essntial for designing the piezoelectic actuator. The torsional resonance mode of the piezoelectric actuator is found from the model analysis of the actuator and the mechanical shear is matched with the driving frequency. Transfer function between the electrical excitation and the mechanical shear deformation at resonance frequency is found form the response of the actuator calculated by the finite element analysis and the governing equation of the system is derived from d'Alembert's principle. Tracking control performance for desired trajectory which is, in fact, sinusoidal curve is presented in order to demonstrate the validity of the proposed system.

We propose an erbium-doped fiber ring laser whose multi-wavelength oscillation is tunable and switchable by tuning fiber bragg gratings. By applying axial pressure on the fiber bragg grating, the wavelength spacing of the proposed laser can be tuned continuously. And by adjusting a polarization controller(PC), the proposed laser can be switched among dual-, triple- and four-wavelength lasing operations.

The electrons injected into a laser wakefield undergo betatron oscillation and give rise to the emission of intense X-ray radiation. To investigate the generation conditions of the X-rays, the relativistic motion of an electron injected in an off-axis position has been simulated with wakefield profiles which are pre-calculated with a two-dimensional particle-in-cell code. The wakefield with a plasma density of $1.78{\times}10^{18}\;cm^{-3}$ is generated by the laser with an intensity of $1.37{\times}10^{18}\;W/cm^2$ and a pulse width of 30 fs. From the calculation of the single particle motion, the characteristics of the betatron radiation are investigated in the time domain. As the transverse injection position increases, the power and the duration time of the radiation increase, but the width of each pulse decreases.

RLG(Ring Laser Gyroscope) is a main device of LINS(Laser Inertial Navigation System). RLG has the lock-in region in which there is no output signal. To alleviate the lock-in problem, a mechanical oscillation, the dither motion, is applied on RLG. A LPF(Low Pass Filter) is usually used on the output of RLG and accelerometer to remove the noise that is made by the dither motion. When the LINS is induced the disturbance during the initial alignment, it takes more time on alignment due to the use of the LPF and a fixed gain controller. In this paper, an initial alignment using UKF(Unscented Kalman Filter) is designed and analysed. Analysis include comparison between conventional initial alignment loop using fixed gain type controller and proposed initial alignment using UKF. Moreover, Disturbance inducing test results are demonstrated.

The resonance frequency and the gain for oscillation of external cavity diode lasers are derived by approximating the phase and the gain conditions. By modifying single mode rate equations for the external cavity diode laser, steady state solutions and their stability are studied.

Laser-arc hybrid welding has been considered as an effective pipe girth welding process since early 2000's. Tolerance for fit-up offsets such as gap and edge misalignment is one of most important requirements in pipe girth laser-arc hybrid welding, and several approaches using parameter optimization, a laser beam scanning and an arc oscillation have been tried. However the required offset tolerance has not been fully accomplished up to now and laser-arc hybrid welding has not been widely applied in pipeline construction than expected, despite of its high welding speed and deep penetration. In this study, internal welding was adopted to ensure the offset tolerance and sound back bead. The effect of welding parameters on bead shape was investigated at the flat position. Also tolerances for gap and edge misalignment were verified as 0.5 mm and 2.0 mm, respectively. The position welding trials were conducted at several welding positions from the flat to the overhead position in a downward direction. With the fixed welding speed, arc current for gas metal arc welding current and laser output power, adequate welding voltages for gas metal arc welding were suggested for each position.

In this study, numerical investigation has been performed on the evolution of weld pool geometry with moving free surface during low-energy density laser welding process. The free surface elevates near the weld pool edge and descends at the center of the weld pool if d$\sigma$/dT is dominantly negative. It is shown that the predicted weld pool width and depth with moving free surface are a little greater than those with flat weld pool surface. It is also believed that the weld pool surface oscillation during the melting process augments convective heat transfer rate in the weld pool. The present analysis with moving free surface should be considered when We number is very small compared to 1.0 since the deformation of the weld pool surface is noticeable as We number decreases.

We have developed a laser molecular beam epitaxy system for the layer-by-layer growth of oxide thin films. Using this system, we could grow and control oxide thin films of LaAlO$_3$in a molecular layer epitaxy mode on the atomically flat SrTiO$_3$ substrate with a LaAlO$_3$single crystal target. Very clear RHEED oscillations were observed during to growth of a LaAlO$_3$ film for a long period under the optimized conditions of substrate temperature at $650^{\circ}C$, oxygen pressure at 1$\times$10\ulcorner torr, and an incident laser fluence of 4.6J/$\textrm{cm}^2$. The height of mono-layer-LaAlO$_3$ film grown during one period of RHEED intensity oscillation was 3.8$\AA$.
