  • Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease that is histopathologically characterized by abnormal differentiation and hyperproliferation of keratinocytes, infiltration of T lymphocytes, and alternations of the dermal vasculature. Pulsed dye laser (PDL) is commonly used to treat cutaneous vascular lesions, and it has been studied for the treatment of localized psoriatic lesions. A 30-year-old female patient with refractory psoriasis on her forehead was treated using PDL. After two sessions, the size of the psoriatic lesion increased, which might have occurred due to koebnerization. As the patient continued to receive PDL treatment, the lesion showed significant improvement with no recurrence on the one-year follow-up. We present here a case of refractory psoriasis treated with PDL and demonstrates an association between a delayed therapeutic effect and the Koebner phenomenon.

  • In this paper, I have studied minimization of the kerf-width and surface burning which are occurred after the singulation process of multi layer $\mu$-BGA( thickness 1.1 mm, 0.9 mm) with a pulsed Nd:YAG( = 532 nm, repetition rate = 10 Hz) laser. The thermal energy of a pulsed Nd:YAG laser is used to cut the copper layer. I have studied are minimization of the surface burning and kerf-width using a photo resist, $N_2$blowing and polyester double sided tape as a cutting parameter. The $N_2$blowing reduces a laser energy loss by debris and suppresses a surface carbonization. Also, I have studied characters of cutting with a choice of side of laser beam incidence. The SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope), non-contact 3D inspector and high-resolution microscope are used to measure kerf width and surface state. The optimum value of 1.1 mm $\mu$-BGA singulation is 524 $\mu$m that is reduced kerf width of 60 % with $N_2$blowing. And I obtained reduction of carbonization of 68 % with a polyester double side tape in 0.9 mm $\mu$-BGA. I used laser intensity of 1.91$\times$10$^{6}$ / $\textrm{cm}^2$ in this study.

  • The pulsed Nd:YAG laser is used widely for materials processing and medical instrument etc. It is important to control the laser energy in those fields using a pulsed Nd:YAG laser. In this paper, constant-frequency current resonant half-bridge inverter and Cockcroft-Walton circuit are used to charge the energy storage capacitor variably. This laser power supply is designed and fabricated which has no high-voltage transformer, less switching losses, compact size and capability in varying the laser output power. Also, the output characteristics of this Nd:YAG laser system are investigated. The tested results are described.

  • Manufacture of motor by laser has been studying realization that was demands on market for lightening and miniaturization. Moreover. early in the 1980s. manufacture of parts for automobiles by laser welding was already successfully introduced. The purpose of this study was to develop production technology of the high quality laminated stator core for motor by pulsed Nd:YAG laser heat source. In the event of adjusting defocus and voltage to control humping in laser welding of the laminated core. sound bead could be obtained. but deep penetration was not. Therefore. explosive evaporating plasma was controlled by adjustment of peak power on pulse width. Particularly, because explosive evaporating plasma induced high peak power, made molten metal in keyhole scatter. a suitable adjustment of peak power was required to obtain sound bead. As a results of experiment. sound bead and deep penetration could be obtained.

  • We demonstrate a simple pulsed $CO_2$ laser with millisecond long pulse duration in a tube at a low pressure of less than 30 Torr. The novel power supply for our laser system switches the voltage of the AC power line (60Hz) directly. The power supply doesn't need elements such as a rectifier bridge, energy-storage capacitors, or a current-limiting resistor in the discharge circuit. To control the laser output power, the pulse repetition rate is adjusted up to 60Hz and the firing angle of SCR(Silicon Controlled Rectifier) gate is varied from 30。 to 150。. A ZCS (Zero Crossing Switch) circuit and a PIC one-chip microprocessor are used to control precisely the gate signal of the SCR. The maximum laser output of 35 W is obtained at a total pressure of 18 Torr, a pulse repetition rate of 60 Hz, and a SCR gate firing angle of 90。 . In addition, the resulting laser pulse width is approximately 3㎳(FWHM). This is a relatively long pulse width, compared with other repetitively pulsed $CO_2$ lasers.

  • The structural and electrical characteristics of PLZT thin films fabricated onto Pt/Ti/SiO\ulcorner/Si substrates by a pulsed laser deposition were investigated to develop the high dielectric thin films were fabricated with different energy density by pulsed laser deposition. This PLZT thin films of 5000 thickness were crystallized at 600 $^{\circ}C$, 200 mTorr O\ulcorner pressure for 2 J/$\textrm{cm}^2$ laser energy density, the arain structure was transformed from planar to columnar grain. It was clearly noted from the SEM observations that oxygen pressured laser powers affect microstructures of the PLZT thin films. 14/50/50 PLZT this film showed a maximum dielectric constant value of $\varepsilon$\ulcorner=1289.9. P-E hysteresis loop of 14/50/50 PLZT thin film was flim ferro-electric. Leakage current density of 14/50/50 PLZT thin film was 10\ulcorner A/$\textrm{cm}^2$.
