Burns are one of the most extensive injuries of soft tissues as well as skin, occasionally resulting in extensive, deep wounds and death. Burn wounds can lead to severe physical and psychological distress because of excessive scarring and skin contractures. Treatment of burn wounds has always been a challenging problem and many different methods have been used to treat such injuries. We report here on treating a patient with a burn wound using 830-nm light emitting diode (LED) phototherapy combined with epidermal growth factor (EGF) solution. After five daily sessions of LED with EGF solution treatment, the patient demonstrated nearly complete improvement with no remarkable side effects. We suggest that LED phototherapy combined with EGF solution could be an effective and safe treatment option for treating burn wounds.

We report on a diode-laser-pumped mode-locked Yb:KGW laser system, which delivers ultrashort pulses down to 89 fs at a repetition rate of 63 MHz, with an average power of up to 5.6 W. A fiber-coupled diode laser at 981 nm, operated with a compact driver, is used to optically pump the gain crystal via an off-axis parabolic mirror. A semiconductor saturable-absorber mirror is used to initiate the pulsed operation. Laser characteristics such as the pulse duration, spectrum bandwidth, and output power are investigated by varying the intracavity dispersions via changing the number of bounces between negative-dispersive mirrors within the cavity. Short pulses with a duration of 89 fs, a center wavelength of 1,027 nm, and 3.6 W of output power are produced at a group-velocity dispersion (GVD) of -3,300 fs². As the negative GVD increases, the pulse duration lengthens but the output power at the single-pulse condition can be enhanced, reaching 5.6 W at a GVD of -6,600 fs². Because of pulse broadening at high negative GVDs, the highest peak intensity is achievable at a moderate GVD with our system.

본 논문에서는 지하에 매설된 통신 관로를 레이저 투영 영상 분석에 의해 검사하는 새로운 기법을 제안한다. 레이저 다이오드, 발광 다이오드와 카메라로 구성된 장비가 관내에 직접 투입되며, 레이저 다이오드는 관벽에 투영 영상을 생성하고 발광 다이오드는 내부 조명 장치로 사용되며, 카메라는 관로 영상을 획득한다. 카메라에서 전달된 다양한 조건의 관로 영상에 대해 투영 영역을 정확히 분할하기 위하여, 새로운 객차 모델과 다중 임계치 기법을 이용한다. 분할된 투영 고리의 형상은 최소 직경과 푸리에 표기자에 의해 표현하여 관로의 상태를 규칙에 기반하여 분류한다. 국부적인 최소 직경과 전역적인 푸리에 표기자를 모두 사용하므로 파손된 관로, 찌그러진 관로 등의 다양한 조건에서 높은 분류 성능을 나타낼 수 있으며, 여러 상태의 영상에 대한 실험 결과는 2% 미만의 오분류로 높은 성능을 나타냈다.

본 논문에서는 기존의 DBR 격자 기반의 파장선택성 반사기를 대체시킬 수 있는 결합 링 반사기가 집적된 레이저 다이오드를 연산자 분리 시 영역 모델을 통해서 분석한다. 결합 링 반사기는 브래그 격자(Bragg grating) 필요로 하지 않는 평판 도파로 형태의 반사기이다. 결합 링 반사기는 하나의 직선 도파로와 두 개의 결합된 형태의 링 공진기가 하나의 직선 도파로에 결합되어 있다. 위상 조절 전류의 조절에 따른 파장 가변 범위는 수십 nm 정도가 되고, 파장 가변 과정에서 부모드 억압비도 35 dB 이상이 됨을 수치 해석을 통해 확인했다. 또한 결합 링 반사기 레이저 다이오드는 종래의 레이저 다이오드에 비해서 유효 공진기 길이(Effective Cavity Length)가 매우 길기 때문에 진폭 변조 시 20-30 GHz 주파수 영역에서 추가적인 공진 특성을 보이고, 이 특성으로 인해 진폭 변조 대역폭이 상당히 향상될 수 있으리라 기대된다.

A new laser diode range-finding speedometer is proposed, which is modulated by a pair of positive and negative triangular pulse current superimposed on a dc current. Since a target velocity is directly obtained form a pure Doppler beat frequency measured during the non-modulation period, the new sensor is free from the difficulties due to the critical velocity encountered in the previous sensor. Furthermore, the different amplitude of the two triangular pluses are so adjusted that the measurable range using only one laser head is greatly expanded to 10cm through 150cm, which is about two times that of the previous sensor. The measurement accuracy for velocity of .+-.6mm/s through .+-.20mm/s and for range is about 1%, and 2%, respectively. Because the new sensor can be operated automatically using a microcomputer, it will be useful for application of a 3-D range image measurement of a slowly moving object.

Higher density in the holographic storage can be obtained by using shorter wavelength laser and higher numerical aperture (NA). In this paper, we adopted a blue laser diode with a wavelength of 405nm and high NA object lens. And the phase conjugation method is applied to prevent image distortion due to high NA. The performance of the system has been shown experimentally.

Recently Moire and PMP(Phase Measuring Profilometry) are adopted as a practical methodology for non-contact 3-D measurement of free surface. These methods extract the 3-D informations from the images of the object projected with stripe-pattern light. This paper presents a simple projector generating stripe-pattern light using expensive polygon mirror. In this projector, slit-beam is generated with a Laser diode and a rod lens and the laser diode is switched on/off synchronizing with the rotation of the polygon mirror. So its structure is very simple and light-weighted compared to the existent projection methods using several lenses and it is also easy to change the pitch and the phase of the stripe pattern. Experimental results show that the intensity profile of the stripe pattern can be approximated with sinusoidal curve by reducing the pitch of the stripe pattern.

In optical pick-up, optical components such as objective lens, collimator, mirror, laser diode and photo diode are mounted on the pick-up base. These components must keep their original position during operation for proper transmittance of information from laser diode to optical disk and back to photo diode. However, micro thermal deformation of pick-up base which is induced by thermal environment during operation can deteriorate the performance of optical pick-up. Therefore, it is important to measure and analyze the thermal deformation behavior of pick-up base under thermal environment. In the present study, a measurement system using holographic interferometry was designed to measure micro thermal deformation of pick up base. The measurement system was verified by using the deformation of cantilever with prescribed motion actuated by PZT with 1 nm resolution. Interferometric measurement was compared quantitatively with that induced by PZT actuator. Finally, micro thermal deformation of pick-up base under actual thermal environment was measured using the present holographic interferometry and the results were analysed.

We report the use of a widely tunable detuned dual-mode laser diode (DML) as a compact and portable continuous-wave THz emitter. The wavelength difference between the two lasing modes of this DML can be tuned from 2.4 nm to 9.3 nm by using integrated microheaters. The power difference between these modes is less than 1 dB, and the side-mode suppression ratio is greater than 30 dB over the entire tuning range.

Welding using lasers can be mass-produced in high speed. In the laser welding, performing real-time monitoring system of the welding quality is very important in enhancing the efficiency of welding. In this study, the plasma and molten metal which are generated during laser welding were measured using the UV sensor and IR sensors. The results of laser welding were classified into five categories such as optimal heat input, little low heat input, low heat input, partial joining due to gap mismatch, and nozzle deviation. Also, a system was formulated which uses the measured signals with a fuzzy pattern recognition method which is used to perform real-time evaluation of the welding quality and the defects which can occur in laser welding.
