The damage of a thin film of Rd6G dye was probed by Surface Second-Harmonic Generation(SSHG) method. A portion of the Rd6G thin film on glass substrate was damaged by 532 nm laser beam, and the damage was probed by detecting intensity variation of SSHG. The result was confirmed through direct observation with optical microscope.oscope.

A noncontact nondestructive testing (NDT) method is proposed to detect the damage of pipeline structures and to identify the location of the damage. To achieve this goal, a scanning laser source actuation technique is utilized to generate a guided wave and scans a specific area to find damage location more precisely. The ND: YAG pulsed laser is used to generate Lamb wave and a piezoelectric sensor is installed to measure the structural responses. The measured responses are analyzed using three dimensional Fourier transformation (3DFT). The damage-sensitive features are extracted by wavenumber filtering based on the 3D FT. Then, flaw imaging techniques of a pipeline structures is conducted using the damage-sensitive features. Finally, the pipes with notches are investigated to verify the effectiveness and the robustness of the proposed NDT approach.

Organic light entitling diode panel was fabricated using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method Nd-YAG laser with Q-Switched and 355 nm pulse was used for the PLD. While TPD(N,N'-Di-[naphthaleny]-N, N'-diphenyl-benzidine) was used as a HTL(Hole transport layer), $Alq_3$(8-Hydroxyquinoline, Aluminum Salt) was used as EML/ETL(Emitting Layer/Electron Transport Layer) Organic pellet was fabricated and employed for the PLD method. The absorbances of the organic films were investigated and the measured absorbance values of TPD and $Alq_3$ films was 362 nm and 399 nm, respectively. The turn-on voltage of the OLED panel was 7.5 V and its luminance was $90\;cd/m^2$

A new design of four-pass dye laser amplifier affording a narrow-bandwidth pulsed output is demonstrated to suppress the amplified spontaneous emission(ASE) carried by the amplifier output and reduce the possibility of parasitic oscillation in the amplifier. By the direct pulsed amplification of a cw 100 mW dye laser under a Q-switched doubled Nd:YAG laser pumping with energy of 5.6 mJ/pulse, high-peak-power pulsed output with 1.5-mJ energy in 130-MHz bandwidth is obtained corresponding to a power gain greater than $2{\times}10^6$ and an energy efficiency of 27%. The ASE ratio in the four-pass amplifier output is dramatically reduced by using a diffraction grating in the amplifier. Compared with the results obtained from the normal operation of the amplifier with no frequency-selective device, the ASE ratio is reduced by a factor in excess of 10 to remain under 1.5% of the amplifier output whereas the total output energy is slightly increased by ~4%.

Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) technique has been used for the elemental composition of the soils. In this technique, a high energy laser pulse is focused on a sample to produce plasma. From the spectroscopic analysis of such plasma plume, we have determined the different elements present in the soil. This technique is effective and rapid for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of all type of samples. In this work a Q-switched Nd: YAG laser operating with its fundamental mode (1064 nm laser wavelength), 5 nanosecond pulse width, and 10 Hz repetition rate was focused on soil samples using 10 cm quartz lens. The emission spectra of soil consist of Iron (Fe), Calcium (Ca), Titanium (Ti), Silicon (Si), Aluminum (Al), Magnesium (Mg), Manganese (Mn), Potassium (K), Nickel (Ni), Chromium (Cr), Copper (Cu), Mercury (Hg), Barium (Ba), Vanadium (V), Lead (Pb), Nitrogen (N), Scandium (Sc), Hydrogen (H), Strontium (Sr), and Lithium (Li) with different finger-prints of the transition lines. The maximum intensity of the transition lines was observed close to the surface of the sample and it was decreased along the axial direction of the plasma expansion due to the thermalization and the recombination process. We have also determined the plasma parameters such as electron temperature and the electron number density of the plasma using Boltzmann's plot method as well as the Stark broadening of the transition lines respectively. The electron temperature is estimated at 14611 °K, whereas the electron number density i.e. 4.1 × 10¹⁶ cm^-3 lies close to the surface.

Purpose: The goal of this study was to investigate the feasibility for the early diagnosis of inflammatory arthritis by the reconstruction of three-dimensional photoacoustic imaging with a tissue phantom. Methods: Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (l = 532 nm) was applied to a tissue phantom to generate photoacoustic waves, and the acquired photoacoustic signals at different positions around the sample were used to recombine the distribution of the optical absorption and the images were subsequently generated through a reconstruction algorithm. Results: From the acquired photoacoustic signals, the surface andinner core of the phantom was clearly distinguished. Furthermore, the back-projection algorithm was able to reconstruct two-dimensional and three-dimensional photoacoustic images that contained the optical absorption property information of the tissue phantom. Conclusion: The results indicate that the photoacoustic imaging technique has many advantages such as high optical contrast and high acoustic resolution. The acquired images can be used for the early diagnosis of inflammatory arthritis by the structural information obtained from the region of interest.

We have studied the 1.54$\mu\textrm{m}$ forward and backward stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) and stimulated Brillouin scattering (SRS) for various $CH_4$pressures by 1.06$\mu\textrm{m}$ Q-switched Nd:YAG laser pumping under a repetition rate of Hz in single pass. We obtained that the output of backward SRS was more efficient than that of the forward SRS. The output energy and conversion efficiency of forward and backward SRS were higher than those of SBS since SRS is a steady state, but SBS is a transient state. In a $CH_4$gas uncirculating system, the output energy of the backward SRS and SBS were reduced the about 47% due to a thermal heating of $CH_4$medium in a focusing region for a repetition rate of 5 Hz. But, the output energy of forward SRS was slightly enhanced by about 8.5% due to the increase of the undepleted pump beam in the backward SRS generation. Inthe Raman half resonator using a dichromatic focusing lens, the conversion efficiency of SRS was more than 37% for a input pump laser energy of 40 mJ.

The characteristics of the type I and type II SHG in LiB305 crystals grown by TSSG method have been investigated using 1064 nm beam from a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. The measured phase matching angles and angular acceptance bandwidths were $\theta_m=90^{\circ}, \phi_m=11.6^{\circ}$, <$\delta\theta_{int}L_{1/2}=3.3^{\circ}-cm^{1/2}, \theta\phi_{int}L=0.27^{\circ}-cm^{1/2}$ for type I SHG and $\theta_m=20^{\circ}, \phi_m=90^{\circ}$, TEX>$\delta\theta_{int}L_=0.65^{\circ}-cm, \theta\phi_{int}L^{1/2}=3.5^{\circ}-cm^{1/2}$ for type II SHG, respectively. Thp. type I NCPM temperature of 1064 nm beam was found to be $149^{\circ}C$ with the temperature bandwidth $\DeltaTL$of $4.8^{\circ}C-cm$. An energy conversion efficiency of about 1.8% with 2.6 mm thick LBO crystal at an incident power of TEX>$171 MW/\textrm{cm}^2$ was demonstrated. The measured $d_{32} was 0.74\pm0.05 pm/V$..
