For general laser power supply. output of the secondary of the power transformer is connected to the rectifier and filter capacitor. The output of a rectifier is applied to a switching element in the secondary of the transformer. So, power supply is complicated and the loss of switching is considerably. In addition, according to increasing pulse repetition. charged energy of energy storage capacitor is not transferred sufficiently to flashlamp. and laser output efficiency decreases. In this paper, to improve laser efficiency. we designed and fabricated the power supply in which the SCR was turned on in zero point by the method of ZCC(zero crossing control)in result, laser output efficiency in creased by about 3.5% other than conventional supply. when a repetition rate was increased by 10[pps]. In 60[pps]. efficiency was about 20%.

This paper presents the spray characteristics of the simplex fuel nozzle with different working fluids for the gas turbine engine. Spray characteristics can be changed with viscosity, surface tension and density. In this research, water and test fluid type 2 which has similar characteristics of the kerosene are used as a working fluid. Spray visualization was performed by using ND-Yag laser and droplet size was measured by using PDPA(Phase doppler particle analyzer) system. The test results show that spray shapes and SMD distributions of two working fluids are similar at main spray region.

Laser beam welding is increasingly being used in welding of structural steels. The laser welding process is one of the most advanced manufacturing technologies owing to its high speed and deep penetration. The thermal cycles associated with laser welding are generally much faster than those involved in conventional arc welding processes, leading to a rather small weld zone. Experiments are performed for 304 stainless steel plates changing several process parameters such as laser power, welding speed, shielding gas flow rate, presence of surface pollution, with fixed or variable gap and misalignment between the similar and dissimilar plates, etc. The following conclusions can be drawn that laser power and welding speed have a pronounced effect on size and shape of the fusion zone. Increase in welding speed resulted in an increase in weld depth/ aspect ratio and hence a decrease in the fusion zone size. The penetration depth increased with the increase in laser power.

In this work, the high power CW Nd:YAG laser has been used for thermal treatment of inkjet printed Ag films-involving eliminating organic additives (dispersant, binder, and organic solvent) of Ag ink and annealing Ag nanoparticles. By optimizing laser parameters, such as laser power and defocusing value, the laser energy can totally be converted to heat energy, which is used to thermal treatment of inkjet printed Ag films. This results in controlling the microstructures and the resistivity of films. We investigated the thermal diffusion mechanisms during laser annealing and the resulting microstructures. The impact of high power laser annealing on microstructures and electrical characteristic of inkjet printed Ag films is compared to those of the films annealed by a conventional furnace annealing. Focused ion beam (FIB) channeling image shows that the laser annealed Ag films have large columnar grains and dense structure (void free), while furnace annealed films have tiny grains and exhibit void formation. Due to these microstructural characteristics of laser annealed films, it has better electrical property (low resistivity) compared to furnace annealed samples.

We fabricated pyrromethene 597(PM597) solid-state dyes which were dissolved in PMMA(poly- methylmethacrylate) and characterized the lasing characteristics. The laser was end-pumped by a frequency doubled Q-switched Nd : YAG laser. We obtained the slope efficiency of $76\%$ at lasing wavelength of 585 nm. We demonstrated the laser lifetime to be more than 100,000 shots with output energy of 250 mJ and repetition rate of 4 Hz by adding singlet oxygen quencher DABCO(1,4-diazabicyclo [2,2,2]octane) to the solid-state dye.

We made a laser induced grating spectrometer(LIGS) and measured the thermal grating signal generated in a $C_3$ $H_{8}$ flame. The thermal grating was formed in the C7Ha flame with two second-harmonic Nd:YAG pulse laser beams, and an LIGS signal was generated by Bragg scattering of a probe laser beam A $r^+.laser(488 nm). We found the modulation period of the signal depends linearly on the spacing of the grating set in the flame. We determined flame temperature by fitting the modulated signal and soot concentration with signal strength. Using this technique, we also obtained temperature profile and soot-particle distribution in a $C_3$ $H_{8}$ flame .e .

The composites were fabricated 61 vol.%α-α-SiC and 39vol.% WC powders with the liquid forming additives of 12wt% Al₂O₃＋Y₂O₃ by pressureless annealing at 1700, 1800, 1900℃ for 4 hours. The result of phase analysis of composites by XRD revealed α-SiC(2H), WC, and YAG($Al_5Y_3O_{12}$) crystal phase. The relative density, the flexural strength, fracture toughness and Young′s modulus showed respectively the highest value of 99.4%, 375.76㎫, 5.79㎫ㆍ$m^{\frac{1}{2}}$, and 106.43㎬ for composite by pressureless annealing temperature 1900℃ at room temperature. The electrical resistivity showed the lowest value of 1.47×$10^{-3}$/Ω·㎝ for composite by pressureless annealing temperature 1900℃ at 25℃. The electrical resistivity of the α-SiC-WC composites was all positive temperature cofficient resistance (PTCR) in the temperature ranges from 25℃ to 500℃.

This study aimed to develop ITO(Indium Tim Oxide) tin films ablation with a pulsed type KrF excimer laser required for the electrode patterning application in flat panel display into small geometry on a large substrate are. The threshold fluence for ablating ITO on glass substrate is about 0.1 J/㎠. And its value is much smaller than that using 3 .sup rd/ harmonic Nd:YAG laser. Through the optical microscope measurement the surface color of the ablated ITO is changed into dark brown due to increase of surface roughness and transformation of chemical composition by the laser light. The laser-irradiated regions were all found to be electrically isolating from the original surroundings. The XPS analysis showed that the relative surface concentration of Sn and In was essentially unchanged (In:Sn=5:1)after irradiating the KrF excimer laser. Using Al foil made by 2$\^$nd/ harmonic Na:YAG laser, the various ITO patterning is carried out.

본 논문에서는 최근 유체소자 재료로써 많이 사용되고 있는 polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)의 레이저 직접식각에 관한 특성을 나타내었다. 식각을 위한 레이저 원으로 기본파가 1064 nm, 반복율이 10 Hz인 Nd:YAG 레이저의 4고조파 성분 ($\lambda$=266 nm)을 사용하였다. X-Y-Z 축으로 이동 가능한 스테이지의 수평 이동속도를 변화시키며, 표면으로 조사되는 펄스 수를 제어하였다. 식각 후 광학현미경으로 식각 단면을 조사하여 식각 깊이와 폭을 측정하였다. 측정된 식각 깊이로부터 식각률을 계산하고, 그 값과 레이저 빔 밀도와의 관계를 알아보았다. 그 결과 시료 표면에 조사되는 레이저 빔 밀도의 로그값과 선형적인 관계를 갖는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 채널 형상 및 채널 내벽을 관찰하였다. 마이크로 채널 내벽에 식각 과정에서 발생한 생성물의 제거를 위해, 레이저 식각과 함께 질소가스 블로잉을 해주었다. 질소 블로잉 압력 1500 torr에서 식각 잔유물이 제거된 내벽을 볼 수 있었다. 실험결과, Nd:YAG 4고조파를 이용하여 PMMA 기판상에 유체 이동을 위한 마이크로 채널을 형성시킬 수 있었다.
