Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Er:YAG laser on microstructure and roughness of $TiO_2$ blasting implant surface. Materials and Methods: Ten $TiO_2$ blasting implant were used in this experiment. One implant was control group, and nine $TiO_2$ blasting implant surfaces were irradiated with Er:YAG laser under 100 mJ/pulse, 140 mJ/pulse, and 180 mJ/pulse condition for 1 min, 1.5 min, and 2 min respectively. Optical interferometer and scanning electron microscopy was utilized to measure roughness and microstructure of specimens. Results: The surface roughness was decreased after Er:YAG laser irradiation in all groups, but there was no significant difference. 100 mJ/pulse and 140 mJ/pulse group did not alter the $TiO_2$ blasting implant surface in SEM study while 180 mJ/pulse group altered the $TiO_2$ blasting implant surface. Implant surfaces showed melting, microfracture and smooth surface in 180 mJ/pulse group. Conclusion: Detoxification of implant surface using Er:YAG laser must be irradiated with proper energy output and irradiation time to prevent implant surface alteration.

본 논문에서는 공기 중에서 높은 레이저 복사 조도에 따른 효과에 의해 발생되는 금속 플라즈마의 발달 과정에 대하여 레이저 펄스가 끝나는 이후로 쉐도우그래프(Shadowgraph) 가시화 방법을 이용하여 현상을 연구하였다. 따라서 레이저에 의한 데토네이션의 발생과 이를 일으키는 연소 과정 대한 연구가 진행되었다. 본 논문의 가장 중요한 점들은 높은 레이저 에너지에 의해 삭마 된 기체 상태의 알루미늄과 공기로부터의 산소와의 화학 반응의 진행을 관측했을 뿐만 아니라, 화학 반응 최종 산화물을 X선 회절 분석법(X-Ray Diffraction)을 통해 관측한 것이다. 그리고 레이저를 통해 유도된 화학적 반응 파와 공기 중에서의 알루미늄 분진 폭발의 데토네이션과의 양적인 평가를 유도하였다. 이러한 연구는 덩어리 상태의 금속 샘플에서 공기 중의 산소를 이용하여 데토네이션을 발생시키는 새로운 방법을 제시할 것으로 여겨진다.

Pulsed Nd:YAC laser is used widely for materials processing and instrumentation. It is very important to control the laser energy density in materials processing by a pulsed Nd:YAG laser. A pulse repetition rate and a pulse width are regarded as the most dominant factors to control the energy density of laser beam. In this study, the alternating charge-discharge system was designed to adjust a pulse repetition rate. This system is controlled by one chip microprocessor and allows to replace an expensive condenser for high frequency to a cheap condenser for low frequency. In addition. we have investigated the current pulse shape of flashlamp and the operating characteristics of a pulsed Nd:YAG laser. As a result, it is found that the laser output of the power supply using the alternating charge-discharge system is not less than that of typical power supply. As the pulse repetition rate rises from 30pps to 120pps by the step of 30pps at 1200V, it is found that the laser efficiency decreases but the laser output power increases about 6W at each step.

This paper presents an analytic and numerical simulation of the generation and propagation of pico-second ultrasound with nano-scale wavelength, enabling the production of bulk waves in thin films. An analytic model of laser-matter interaction and elasto-dynamic wave propagation is introduced to calculate the elastic strain pulse in microstructures. The model includes the laser-pulse absorption on the material surface, heat transfer from a photon to the elastic energy of a phonon, and acoustic wave propagation to formulate the governing equations of ultra-short ultrasound. The excitation and propagation of acoustic pulses produced by ultra-short laser pulses are numerically simulated for an aluminum substrate using the finite-difference method and compared with the analytical solution. Furthermore, Fourier analysis was performed to investigate the frequency spectrum of the simulated elastic wave pulse. It is concluded that a pico-second bulk wave with a very high frequency of up to hundreds of gigahertz is successfully generated in metals using a 100-fs laser pulse and that it can be propagated in the direction of thickness for thickness less than 100 nm.

We present a passively Q-switched monolithic Er:Yb:glass microchip laser developed in our lab. The microchip laser can produce pulses at 1535 nm of the 'eye-safe' wavelengths with the pulse energy of 50 uJ and the pulse width of 4-6 ns. Using the laser we also designed and developed a pulsed Er:Yb:glass microchip laser rangefinder. Expressions for background and signal power, noise, and signal-to-noise ratio are reviewed. A computer simulation was used to optimize laser power, receiver aperture, and preamplifier bandwidth for the efficient system design of the laser rangefinder. Experimental results are presented to compare with the theory.

These days, as dynamic function and special properties to compare traditional material, $Al_20_3$ ceramic use all over the industry. But it is very difficult to process because of high hardness and brittleness. Therefore, in this paper, it was investigated that laser process parameter which can produce appropriate quality of $Al_20_3$ ceramic microhole machining.

Nd:YAG pulse laser welding of stainless steel plate was simulated to find welding condition by using commercial finite element code MARC. Due to geometric symmetry, a half model of AISI 304 stainless steel plate was considered and user subroutines were applied to boundary condition for the heat transfer. Material properties such as conductivity, specific heat, mass density and latent heat were given as a function of temperature. As results, Three dimensional heat source model for pulse laser beam conditions of butt welding has been designed by the comparison between the finite element analysis results and experimental data on AISI 304 stainless steel plate. Nd:YAG laser welding for AISI 304 stainless steel was successfully simulated and it should be useful to determine optimal welding condition.

The damage threshold measurement of gold films is carried out with ultrashort-pulse laser. An enhanced two temperature model is developed to encounter the limitation of linear modeling during ultrashort pulse laser ablation. In which the electron heat capacity is calculated using a quantum mechanical approach based on a Fermi-Dirac distribution, temperature-dependent electron thermal conductivity valid beyond the Fermi temperature is adopted, and reflectivity and absorption coefficient are estimated by applying a temperature-dependent electron relaxation time. The predicted damage threshold using the proposed enhanced modelclosely agreed with experimental results, demonstrating the importance of considering transient thermal and optical properties in the modeling of ultrashort pulse laser ablation.

We have developed a repetitive TEA $CO_2$ laser excited by a magnetic switch pulse source, and have measured the laser output energy for the mixing ratio of the laser gas mixture in single pulse. As a result of experiments, we have obtained the laser output energy of 252 mJ($\eta_{intrinsic}$=7.8%) in $CO_2:N_2$:He=1:1:8(1 atm.). At a repetition-rate frequency of 10 Hz, an average laser power of 1.5 W was obtained.
