Pulse 펄스형 Nd:YAG 레이저는 피부재생치료에 적합하고, 램프에 의해서 연속발진은 물론 정상발진, Q-스위치 및 모드동기 발진까지 다양한 발전 형태가 가능하며 미세수술 및 피부재생 촉진에 널리 사용되어지고 있다. 치료목적에 따라 에너지 밀도를 제어하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 에너지 밀도의 제어는 레이저 출력의 펄스반복률을 제어하는 방법이 주로 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 펄스형 Nd:YAG 레이저의 펄스반복률을 제어할 수 있는 제 2고조파 발생(second harmonic generation: SHG)로 각주파수인 광파의 에너지 일부가 비선형 결정안을 전파하면서 각주파수인 광파의 에너지로 변환되는 현상을 적용하여 2차 비선형성에 의한 제2고조파 발생을 통해 피부심부까지 치료 가능하다는 것은 간단히 관찰할 수 있었다.

Based on single-mode rate equations, we present an improved equivalent-circuit model for distributed-feedback (DFB) lasers that accounts for the effects of parasitic parameters and nonradiative recombination. This equivalent-circuit model is composed of a parasitic circuit, an electrical circuit, an optical circuit, and a phase circuit, modeling the circuit equations transformed from the rate equations. The validity of the proposed circuit model is verified by comparing simulation results to measured results. The results show that the slope efficiency and threshold current of the model are 0.22 W/A and 13 mA respectively. It is also shown that increasing bias current results in the increase of the relaxation-oscillation frequency. Moreover, we show that the larger the bias current, the lower the frequency chirp, increasing the possibility of extending the transmission distance of an optical-fiber communication system. The results indicate that the proposed circuit model can accurately predict a DFB laser's static and dynamic characteristics.

Leakage magnetic flux is occurred in the cracked area of magnetized specimens, and also it changes the magnetic domain area of the magneto-optical film positioned on the specimen. It causes the change of the optical permeability of the magnetic domain on the crack area. So crack images can be obtained easily using this principle. On the other hand, utilizing a laser in this method makes possible to perform a remote sensing by detecting the light intensity contrast between cracked area and normal area. This paper shows the application of non-destructive inspection system taking advantage of magneto-optical method for micro-cracks and presents examples applied to the several types of specimens having fatigue cracks and fabricated cracks using this method. Also the authors prove the possibility of this method as a remote sensing system under the oscillation load considering application to real fields.

The lasing wavelengths and gain characteristics of the array modes of channel-substrate planar(CSP) lasers are presented. The gain values of array modes are determined from the complex coupling coefficients calculated using the fields of neighborig elements of the array. The computations show that for index guided lasers which have fields that are almost real valued, or have only slight phase curvature, the highest order array mode will have preferred oscillation. The inphase or fundamental mode, which produces only one major lobe in the far-field radiation pattern, will have the lowest modal gain of all array modes. Some of the devices discussed have modal gain differences of less than 10 cm**-1 between the highest and fundamental modes. For optical field confinement factors of about 20%, this gain difference corresponds to avtive layer gains of approximately 50**-1.

We investigated a high-output ower, periodically poled lithium niobate(PPLN) optical parametric oscillator(OPO) pumped by a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. Given the low optical damage threshold and the limited aperture (0.5mm thick) of PPLN, we tried to maximize the signal output power in a linear cavity consisting of two flat mirrors with a loosely focused pump beam. It is found that this simple cavity structure allowed a robust OPO operation, which was not sensitive to alignment compared with the conventional ones using concave mirrors. A maximum energy of 100$\mu$J/pulse was achieved for the signal at 1.36${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, while the oscillation threshold was 0.3 mJ/pulse for the pump at 1064 nm.

Analysis of two-dimensional secondary flows given by an oscillatory motion of a liquid with a free surface in a rectangular container subject to a linear reciprocating force is performed by numerical and experimental methods. FVM is used for the numerical computation of the two-dimensional flows. We considered the effects of the free-surface properties such as the surface tension and the dilatational viscosity. The boundary-layer analysis as well as an experiment is used in establishing the free surface properties. The secondary flow patterns are visualized by a laser sheet. It is shown that the secondary flow patterns predicted by the numerical methods are in good agreement with the experimental results.

Ultra-high-speed analog and digital ICs (integrated circuits) fur 10Gbit/sec optical communication systems have been designed, fabricated and analyzed in this research. These circuits, which are laser diode (LD) driver, pre-amplifier, automatic gain controlled (AGC) amplifier, limiting amplifier and decision circuit, have been implemented with AIGaAs/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs). The optimized AIGaAs/GaAs HBTs for the 10Gbps circuits in this work showed the cutoff and maximum oscillation frequencies of 65㎓ and 53㎓, respectively. It is demonstrated in this paper that the 10Gbps optical communication system can be realized with the ICs designed and fabricated using AlGaAs/GaAs HBTs.

We studied the influence of GaAs top-layer thickness on the small-signal modulation response and 56 Gb/s four-level pulse-amplitude modulation eye quality of 850 nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). We considered the proportionality of the gain-saturation coefficient to the photon lifetime. The simulation results that employed the transfer-matrix method and laser rate equations led to the conclusion that the proportionality should be considered for proper explanation of the experimental results. From the obtained optical eyes, we could determine an optimum thickness of the GaAs top layer that rendered the best eye quality of VCSEL. We also compared two results: one result with a fixed gain-saturation coefficient and the other that considered the proportionality. The former result with the constant gain-saturation coefficient demonstrated a better eye quality and a wider optimum range of the GaAs top-layer thickness because the resultant higher damping reduced the relaxation oscillation.

평면도파로 (Planar Lightwave Circuits)를 수소처리한 후 격자를 제작하였다. 성장특성 분석 결과 격자는 거듭제곱식 (power law)에 따라서 성장되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 격자의 성장특성을 이용하여 외부 공진기 레이저용 평면도파로 격자를 설계하고 제작한 결과 예상치와 거의 일치하는 격자특성을 얻을 수 있었고, 제작된 격자로 구현된 외부 공진기 레이저에서 ∼40dB의 인접모드억압비(side mode suppression ratio)를 갖는 단일모드 발진을 관측할 수 있었다.
