The flow characteristics around a floating cylinder in a swirling flow field in a vertical pipe with a length of 600mm and an inner diameter of 100mm is investigated by the use of the Stereoscopic-PIV system. The measurement system consists of two cameras, a Nd-Yag laser and a host computer. Optical sensors(LEDs) were used to detect the location of the floating cylinder and to activate the Stereoscopic-PIV system. A conditional sampling Stereoscopic-PIV system was developed in which the flow fields around the floating cylinder are measured at the events of the activations. It has been verified that the motion of the floating cylinder becomes stable when the azimuthal velocity component of the swirl flow is maintained at stable states.

In this study, a solid-state laser system adopting a new real time multi-discharge (RTMD) method in which three flashlamps are turned on consecutively was designed and fabricated to examine the pulse width and the pulse shape of the laser beams depending upon the changes in the lamp turn-on time. That is, this study shows a technology that makes it possible to make various pulse shapes by turning on three flashlamps consecutively on a real-time basis with the aid of a PIC one-chip microprocessor, With this technique, the lamp turn-on delay time can be varied more diversely from 0 to 10 ms and the real-time control is possible with an external keyboard, enabling various pulse shapes. In addition, longer pulses can be more widely used for industrial processing and lots of medical purposes.

We have successfully fabricated high power (~20W) laser diode array, which are useful for pumping Nd:YAG lasers. The laser diode aray has 20 100.mu.m-wide cahnnels of which space was adjusted to 350.mu.m to improve thermal characteristics. And channel width is 100.mu.m. For an uncoated LD array, the output power of 15.66W has been obtained at 41A under quasi-CW operation, which results in about 0.42W/A slope efficiency. After aR(5%) and HR (95%) coatings on both facets, the output power was improved up to 21.18W at 40A under the same operation as above and the slope efficiency was 0.795W/A. On the other hand, by using a near field measurement system consisting of objective lens, eyepiece, CCD camera and image processing board, the typical near field patten of 1*20 LD array was observed.

Simultaneous measurements of turbulent velocity and concentration field in a stirred mixer tank are carried out by using PIV/LIF technique. Instantaneous velocity fields are measured with a 1K$\times$1K CCD camera adopting the frame straddle method while the concentration fields are obtained by measuring the fluorescence intensity of Rhodamine B tracer excited by the second pulse of Nd:Yag laser light. Image distortion due to the camera view-angle is compensated by a mapping function. It is found that the general features of the mixing pattern are quite dependent on the local flow characteristics during the rapid decay of mean concentration. However, the small scale mixing seems to be independent on the local turbulent velocity fluctuation.

Arc-shaped line array slits have been used for the laser generation of focused Lamb waves. The spatially expanded Nd:YAG pulse laser was illuminated through the arc-shaped line array slit on the surface of a sample plate to generate the Lamb waves of the same pattern as the slit. Then the generated Lamb waves were focused at the point of which distance from the slit position is dependent on the curvature of slit arc. The proposed method showed better spatial resolution than the conventional linear array slit in the detection of laser machined linear defect and drill machined circular defect on aluminum plates of 1mm thickness.

It is generally known to be difficult to etch a surface of a transparent material such as fused silica by conventional laser ablation in which the surface is simply irradiated with a laser beam. A lot of studies have been done to provide a method capable of efficiently etching transparent materials without defects such as cracks. One of the promising methods or the micro-machining of optically transparent materials is laser induced etching. In this study, micro-drilling of fused silica by laser induced wet etching was conducted. KrF excimer and YAG laser were used as light sources. Acetone solution pyrene and ethanol solution of rhodamine were used as etchant.

With the increased use of lasers in industrial welding applications, techniques for monitoring and controlling these processes become increasingly important. It is very important that we understand the dynamic behaviors of the laser induced Plume in welding, because the laser induced plume has considerable effects on welding efficiency and the quality of materials. As the plume fluctuation was associated with keyhole instability, unstable vapor plume indicated the process was unstable and would result in poor welds. An Infrared Thermal-vision Camera can be utilized compensate for incurracies encountered in real-time monitoring during laser welding. We have results that instabilities of plume are closely related with hot cracking and defect of laser welding.

A non-symmetric laser beam was used for cutting a thin glass substrate and its effect was investigated. In laser cutting of brittle materials, controlling crack initiation on the surface is crucial; however, it is difficult to ensure that crack propagation occurs according to a designed laser path. A lot of deviation in crack propagation, especially at the edge of the substrate, is usually observed. A non-symmetric laser beam generates a non-uniform energy distribution, which enhances directional crack propagation. A 20-W pulsed YAG laser was used for cutting a thin glass substrate. Parametric analysis was carried out and the crack control of the non-symmetric laser beam was improved. A theoretical model was presented and the limitations of the proposed process were also discussed.

Most of the previous studies on natural convection were based on the numerical analysis, and some experimental studies considered the classic case of thermal convection. In this study, an adiabatic square body was located at the center of an enclosure between the bottom hot and top cold walls. And the measurement of the detailed temperature fields was conducted by the method of two-color Laser Induced Fluorescence using a Nd:Yag laser. As a result, heat transfer characteristics of natural convection with an adiabatic body was estimated as a function of time over a range of Rayleigh numbers.
