The output characteristics of HF and DF lasers were compared theoretically. The simulation code shows the good agreement with the experimental results well. As results, the effect of chain termination reaction in $F_2$ rich mixture is larger than that of $SF_6$ rich mixture in HF and DF lasers.

Chaotic states of a low-frequency modulating C.W .Co2 laser beam is observed. The output behaviors appear quasi-periodicity and chaotic states when the laser beam is modulated from 100Hz to 1000Hz by using an intracavity chopper. And the output characteristics of the laser beam show a route to chaos as increasing input power when the modulation speed is 500Hz.

-Part I- As market needs become more various, the production of smaller quantities of a wider variety of products becomes increasingly important. In addition, in order to meet demands for more efficient production, long-term unmanned factory operation is prevailing at a remarkable pace. Within this context, laser machines are gaining increasing popularity for use in applications such as cutting and welding metallic and ceramic materials. FANUC supplies four models of $CO_2$ laser oscillators with laser power ranging from 1.5㎾ to 6㎾ on an OEM basis to machine tool builders. However, FANUC has been requested to produce laser oscillators that allow more compact and lower-cost laser machines to be built. To meet such demands, FANUC has developed six models of Slab type YAG laser oscillators with output power ranging from 150W to 2㎾. These oscillators are designed mainly fur cutting and welding sheet metals. The oscillator has an exceptionally superior laser beam quality compared to conventional YAG laser oscillators, thus providing significantly improved machining capability. In addition, the laser beam of the oscillator can be efficiently transmitted through quartz optical fibers, enabling laser machines to be simplified and made more compact. This paper introduces the features of FANUC’s developed Slab type YAG laser oscillators and their applications. - Part II - All-solid-state lasers employing laser diodes (LD) as a source of pumping solid-state laser feature high efficiency, compactness, and high reliability. Thus, they are expected to provide a new generation of processing tools in various fields, especially in automobile and aircraft industries where great hopes are being placed on laser welding technology for steel plates and aluminum materials for which a significant growth in demand is expected. Also, in power plants, it is hoped that reliability and safety will be improved by using the laser welding technology. As in the above, the advent of high-power all-solid-state lasers may not only bring a great technological innovation to existing industry, but also create new industry. This is the background for this project, which has set its sights on the development of high-power, all-solid-state lasers with an average output of over 10㎾, an oscillation efficiency of over 20%, and a laser head volume of below 0.05㎥. FANUC Ltd. is responsible for the research and development of slab type lasers, and TOSHIBA Corp. far rod type lasers. By pumping slab type Nd: YAG crystal and by using quasi-continuous wave (QCW) type LD stacks, FANUC has already obtained an average output power of 1.7㎾, an optical conversion efficiency of 42%, and an electro-optical conversion efficiency of 16%. These conversion efficiencies are the best results the world has ever seen in the field of high-power all-solid-state lasers. TOSHIBA Corp. has also obtained an output power of 1.2㎾, an optical conversion efficiency of 30％, and an electro-optical conversion efficiency of 12%, by pumping the rod type Nd: YAG crystal by continuous wave (CW) type LD stacks. The laser power achieved by TOSHIBA Corp. is also a new world record in the field of rod type all-solid-state lasers. This report provides details of the above results and some information on future development plans.

본 논문에서는 몸체진동형 링레이저 자이로에서 몸체진동을 검출하기 위한 각속도 센서 출력을 V-F 변환하여 링레이저 출력에서 몸체진동에 의한 출력을 제거하는 dither-stripping 방법에 대하여 논의하였다. Dither-stripping에서는 V-F 출력펄스와 링레이저 출력펄스간의 환산계수를 산출하는 방법과 V-F 출력펄스의 offset를 보정해주는 방법이 중요하다. 각속도 센서의 출력을 V-F 변환하여 dither-stripping하는 경우에는 offset을 보정하는 과정에서 몸체진동의 진폭잡음에 의한 자이로 출력의 오차가 크게 발생한다. 우리는 V-F 출력펄스를 미분하여 offset을 제거하는 방법을 고안하였다. 이를 위해서는 각속도 센서의 출력을 90deg 위상 이동시켜서 각도신호를 만들고 V-F 변환해야 하며 링레이저 출력의 위상도 샘플링의 반주기만큼 이동시켜야 한다. 그리고 두 펄스간의 환산계수는 분산을 이용하여 산출하였다. 이러한 각도신호 미분방식의 dither-stripping에 의하여 개선된 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

We have demonstrated a high-power widely tunable sampled grating distributed Bragg reflector (SGDBR) laser integrated monolithically with a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) having a lateral tapered waveguide, which is the first to emit a fiber-coupled output power of more than 10 dBm using a planar buried heterostructure (PBH). The output facet reflectivity of the integrated SOA using a lateral tapered waveguide and two-layer AR coating of $TiO_2\;and\;SiO_2$ was lower than $3\;{\times}\;10^{-4}\;over$ a wide bandwidth of 85 nm. The spectra of 40 channels spaced by 50 GHz within the tuning range of 33 nm were obtained by a precise control of SG and phase control currents. A side-mode suppression ratio of more than 35 dB was obtained in the whole tuning range. Fiber-coupled output power of more than 11 dBm and an output power variation of less than 1 dB were obtained for the whole tuning range.

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.

We report on high-power continuous-wave operations of an Er:YAG ceramic laser in-band pumped by a cladding-pumped Er,Yb fiber laser at 1532 nm. With an output coupler of 10% transmission, the ceramic laser yielded 16.7 W of continuous-wave output at 1645 nm for 28.8 W of incident pump power, corresponding to a slope efficiency of 61.0% with respect to the incident pump power. The lasing wavelength switched to 1617 nm when output couplers of > 20% transmission were used. Up to 16.2 W of 1617 nm output was generated for 33.0 W of incident pump power, corresponding to a slope efficiency of 51.8%. Graphene Q-switched operation of Er:YAG cermic laser at 1645 nm was also demonstrated with stable pulses of 30-74 kHz repetition rates and 1.5-6.4 ${\mu}s$ pulse widths.
