ZnO thin films on (l00) p-type Si and sapphire substrates have been deposited by a pulsed laser deposition technique using an Nd:YAG laser with a wavelength of 266 nm. The influence of the deposition parameters such as oxygen pressure, substrate temperature and laser energy density on the properties of the grown films was studied. The experiments were performed for substrate temperatures in the range of 200∼50$0^{\circ}C$ and oxygen pressure in the range of 100∼700 sccm. All of the films grown in this experiment show strong c-axis orientation with (002) textured ZnO peak. With increasing substrate temperature, the FWHM (full width at half maximum) and surface roughness were decreased. In the case of using sapphire substrate, the intensity of PL spectra increased with increasing ambient oxygen flow rate. We investigated the structural and morphological properties of ZnO thin films using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM).

During laser spot welding of the braun tube electron gun, phenomena such as serious spattering and oxidative reaction, etc. were occurred. The spatter occurred from weld pool affects the braun tube, namely it blocks up a very small hole on the shadow mask and causes short circuit between two roles of the electron gun. We guessed that high power density and oxidative reaction are main sources of these problems. So, we studied to prevent and to reduce spatter occurring in spot welding of the braun tube electron gun using pulsed Nd:YAG laser. The characteristics of laser output power was estimated, and the loss of laser energy by optical parameter and spatter was measured by powermeter. The effects of welding parameters, laser defocused distance and incident angle, were investigated on the shape and penetration depth of the laser welded bead in flare and flange joints. From these results, the laser peak power was a major factor to control penetration depth and to occur spatter. It was found that the losses of laser energy by optic parameter and sticked spatter affect seriously laser weldability of thin sheets. The deepest penetration depth is gotten on focal position, and a "bead transition" occurred with a slight displacement of focal position relative to the workpiece surface and the absorption rate of the laser energy is affected by the shape factor of the workpiece. When we changed the incident angle of laser beam, the penetration depth was decreased a little with increasing of the incident angle, and the bead width was increased. The spattering was prevented by considering laser beam energy and incident angle.ent angle.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the analgesic effect on pulp induced by pulsed Nd : YAG laser according to the power density, irradiated time and the method of application (Non-contact vs contact) in vivo. Experiments were carried out on 90 volunteers who have sound 4 canines. Each canine was grouped by the intensity and the time of irradiation of pulsed Nd : YAG laser was measured. Mean EPT response(units) was measured at 5 min, 30 min, and 60 min after irradiation with various intensity(1.5-3W, 15-30Hz), irradiated time (1.5min, 3min), and application method (Non-contact and contact). The results were as follows: 1. 5 minutes after irradiation, the mean EPT response(units) was increased by 32 % in the non-contact method and by 35% in the contact method of application. Which showed significant difference in mean EPT response(units) compared to not-lased canine in each groups(P<0.05). 2. The mean EPT response(units) with irradiating condition according to the various laser intensity, and the irradiation time stastically did not show significant difference in each groups as time elapsed. 3. There was no significant difference between the non-contact and contact method in the mean EPT response(units). 4. The mean EPT response(units) returned to the baseline value within 30 miuntes. In regard to the above results, the analgesic effect on pulp induced by pulsed Nd : YAG laser resulted a slight increase of pulpal pain threshold, but it was not as high as to replace the role of drug analgesia as whole. This technique can be used for inducing pulpal analgesia as adjunct to other pain control methods and is needed to develop better analgesic effects.

Recently, there were some successful examples that the laser welding was introduced into production line. However, the spread of laser welding is not sufficient in many industries. There are several reasons why it is difficult to penetrate the laser welding into production lines. Because it is different from reflection, absorption and permeation of laser beam according to material and surface condition. Moreover, there are significant problems in processing such as absorption and scattering of beam by the induced plasma or plume. Therefore, understanding of mechanism on formation of weld defect in laser welding of the laminated core for motor is very important. In this paper, it was analyzed in terms of materials which was source of defect in laser welding and conventional arc welding. As a results of analysis, insulation coating film of the laminated core was judged to main factor of weld defect. it could be well aware as tracing carbon volume, and it was deduced that weld defect by insulation coating film was caused by difference of mechanism between the two heat sources.

In material processing, a laser system with optimal laser parameters has been considered to be significant. Especially, the laser scribing technology is thought to be very important for fabricating DSSC(Dye sensitized solar eel!) modules with good quality. Moreover, the $TEM_{00}$ mode laser beam is the most dominant factor to decide the IPCE(Incident photon to current conversion efficiency) characteristics. In order to get the $TEM_{00}$ mode, a pin-hole is inserted within a simple pulsed Nd:YAG laser resonator. And the spatial field distribution is measured by using three size pin-hole diameters of 2.0, 6.0mm respectively. At that moment, each case has the same laser beam energy by adjusting the discharge voltage and pps(pulse per second). From those results, it is known that the pin-hole size of 2.0mm has the perfect $TEM_{00}$ mode. In addition, at the charging voltage of 1000V, 10pps and the feeding speed of 1.11mm/sec, the SEM photo of FTO(Fluorine-doped tin oxide) thin film layers shows the best scribing trace.

This study was performed to evaluate the possibility of pulpal damage by measuring temperature change occured in dentin according to the thickness of dentin, the time of irradiation and the output of laser energy when the dentin surfaces were irradiated with Nd-YAG laser under water coolant and no water coolant. Sound upper and lower molar teeth were sectioned with 1mm, 1.5mm and 2mm thickness of dentin discs and divided into 4 groups by dentin thiness. 0.5 watt, 1 watt, 1.5 watt and 2 watt-energied beam of pulsed 10 p.p.s of Nd : YAG laser was applied respectively to dentin surfaces for 8 secs and 16 secs when water coolant is used or not.Ant then the temperature changes occurd in dentin were measured at opposite surfaces of laser-irradiated dentin surfaces with digital thermometer. The results were as follow. 1. When the amount of irradiated energy was same, the temperatue changes of dentin were higher as the thickness of dentin discs was thinner(p<0.01). 2. When the amount of irradiated energy and the thickness of dentins were same, The temperature changes of dentin were lower under water coolant than under no water coolant in all groups(p<0.01). 3. With the increase of time of irradiation, the temperature changes of Dentin became higher in all groups and were steeply increased at initial period of irradiation of laser. 4. Under the same thickness of dentin, the temperature changes of dentin became higher as irradiated energy was increased. These results suggest that when the beam of Nd : YAG Laser is irradiated to dential hard tissue, amount of irradiating energy, thickness of dentin, using water coolant must be considered in order to minimize thermal damage of the pulp.

Laser thin film process with a Q-switch pulsed YAG laser was performed for micro machining. In this research, we performed basic Cr thin film on glass substrates removal machining experiments. Form experiments, it happens not only evaporration of thin film but also spatter and cohesion of melting substance in working region, when machining a Cr thin film by Q-switch YAG laser beam irradiation. Critical energy of surface irradiation type by irradiation direction of laser in a face composing thin film on the glass is higher than that of back irradiation type, but the latter is favorable because of spatter appearance. In case of image formation position when laser beam is irradiated, the defocus is permitted to a certain extent within forcus depth. Ifexceeds focus depth, formation of pattern is vanishing step by step.

The pulsed laser deposition(PLD) technology was used for the deposition of phosphor substance, Gd$_2$O$_3$on commercial glass. An Nd:YAG laser was employed for the deposition (wavelength 266nm, energy up to 100mJ/pu1se, pulse duration is 5ns and repetition rate 10 Hz). With respect to films grown by conventional PLD, this study exhibited the condition at normal temperature. Experiments were done without any reactive gas at a pressure of 10$^{-5}$ ~10$^{-6}$ Torr using second harmonic(λ=532 nm) and fourth harmonic(λ=266 nm) Nd:YAG laser. Analyses of the deposited material grown are performed by EDX, AFM, SEM, PL meseurements.
