In case of ultrashort laser ablation of metals, the transfer of energy from the electronic system causing strong absorption of laser light to the lattice needs relaxation times of the order of some picoseconds. Under the above theoretical background, nickel was ablated using femtosecond, picosecond and nanosecond laser. As a result, nickel ablation by picosecond laser and femtosecond laser, which are called ultrashort laser, has similar machinability because of relaxation time of metals, whereas nanosecond Nd:YAG laser has lower absorption, higher thermalization effect in comparison with ultrashort laser.

In laser machining such as drilling with $CO_2$ or Nd:YAG laser, and etching or ablation with Excimer laser, one of the most important parameters affecting the machining is known to be beam characteristics. In this paper a numerical study is performed to investigate the effects of beam parameters, especially in the process of excimer laser ablation of polymers. Results of different beam conditions reveal that if the ablated depth is small compared to beam size the simple photochemical etching model is suitable to predict the etched shape, and that the importance of precise alignment becomes large as beam quality factor becomes larger.

Quality evaluation of laser welded MCFC separator panels with large active area was performed. Lap joint was applied to produce stable air-tight seam weld by employing Nd:YAG laser. Results showed that surface contamination played a key role to form weld defects at the joint interface. However, there was no evidence that weld width at the lap joint changed after the stack operation time of 2,890h. Test results also revealed that the reinforcement values which were measured on the weld line after long time operation, were stable.

Nd:Yag 레이저의 제2고조파와 광대역 모드 없는 레이저를 광원으로 사용하고 이중회절발분광 기에 설치된 다채널광검출기로 분광된 CARS 스펙트럼을 레이저 펄스마다 측정 할 수 있는 광 대역 CARS 분광기를 제작하였다. CARS 온도측정 불확정도는 300K에서 1300K까지는 1.5% 이내였다. CARS 기술을 이용하여 분젠버너의 화염면에서의 온도 분포를 측정하였으며, 대향류 버너의 화염내부의 온도 분포 및 CO 농도분포를 측정하였다. 이러한 CARS 기술은 정상상태의 연소진단에 응용할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 레이저 펄스마다 측정되는 온도의 분포함수를 조사하면 앞으로 난류연소의 진단에도 응용이 가능하며, 내연기관 등과 같이 연속폭발연소 상태의 기체의 온도나 농도 측정이 가능하다. 본 연구에서 연구된 CARS 기술의 온도 측정정확도는 약 2% 이 내이고 농도 측정은 측정기체의 농도가 상온에서는 약 0.1% 이상, 1500K 이상의 고온에서는 0.3%이상이면 가능하다.

An innovative real-time weld monitoring technique using chromatic filtering of the thermal radiation from a weld pool is developed. The thermal radiation from the weld pool is focused on an aperture and the transmitted thermal radiation is monitored at two wavelengths with high-speed single-element detectors. Due to the chromatic aberration introduced in the focusing optics, the transmittance curve of thermal radiation varies by the wavelength. Owing to this difference in the transmittance, the local variation of thermal radiation from the weld pool can be monitored by processing the two spectroscopic signals from two detectors. In this paper, the algorithms to monitor the laser power on the weld specimen and the focus shift we investigated and the performances of laser power and focus monitoring are shown for a pulsed Nd:YAG laser welding. The monitoring of the weld pool size variation is also discussed.

The dynamics of laser-induced plasma/shock wave and the interaction with a surface in the laser shock cleaning process are analyzed by optical diagnostics. Shock wave is generated by a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser in air or with N$_2$, Ar, and He injection into the focal spot. The shock speed is measured by monitoring the photoacoustic probe-beam deflection signal under different conditions. In addition, nanosecond time-resolved images of shock wave propagation and interaction with the substrate are obtained by the laser-flash shadowgraphy. The results reveal the effect of various operation parameters of the laser shock cleaning process on shock wave intensity, energy-conversion efficiency, and flow characteristics. Discussions are made on the cleaning mechanisms based on the experimental observations.

A 4D-PTV system was constructed. The measurement system consists of three high-speed high-definition cameras(1k x 1k, 2000fps), Nd-Yag laser(2000Hz) and a host computer. The GA-3D-PTV algorithm was used for completing the measurement system. The 4D-PTV is capable of probing the spatial distribution of velocity vectors of the flow field overcoming the temporal resolution of the characteristic turbulence length scales of the measured flow fields. A horizontal impinged jet flow (H/D=7) was measured. The Reynolds number is about 33,000. Spatial temporal evolution of the jet flow was examined and physical properties such as spatial distributions of vorticity and turbulent kinetic energy were obtained with the constructed.

Laser weldability of aluminized steels of 0.8mm thick has been investigated. Test materials were cut from the commercial steels that were produced at the Coating Mill of POCOS. Test coupons for welding were prepared by using a conventional shearing machine and no additional edge treatment was peformed. Nd:YAG laser welding system was mainly applied to make weld specimens. Test results revealed that almost no spattering was observed even though the welding was peformed with no overlap joint clearance. Bead quality of aluminized steel laser weld was smooth and stable. According to x-ray inspection results, it was proved that the laser welds of aluminized steels were metallurgically defect free.

This paper is the first of 3 companion papers which investigate axial stratification process. In-cylinder fuel behavior has been investigated in the port injected SI engine by visualization for the purpose of understanding stratification. Planar laser light sheet from an Nd:YAG laser has been illuminated through the transparent quartz cylinder of the single cylinder optical engine and the Mie scattered light has been replaced with an air-ethanol mixture to utilize atomized fuel spray for the visualization purposes. This results have been compared with steady flow concentration measurement. For no swirl port, the axial penetration depends on the fuel injection timing. The fuel tends to remain in the upper region of the cylinder far from the spark plug and the distribution is not affected by the injection timing except 90 ATDC.
