The objective of this research work is to investigate into heat transfer characteristics of the laser cutting of CSP 1N sheet using high power CW Nd:YAG laser. In order to investigate the heat transfer characteristics, three dimensional quasi stationary and steady-state heat transfer analysis has been carried out. The laser heat source is assumed as a volumetric heat source with a gaussian heat distribution in a plane. Through the comparison of the results of analyses with those of experiments, the proper finite element model has been obtained. In addition, characteristics of the three-dimensional heat transfer and temperature distribution have been estimated by the finite element model. Finally, the minimum temperature at the center for cutting of the material has been estimated.

This paper describes weldability of dissimilar metal plates with YAG laser for the use of a small-size electronic spring parts. Effects of welding conditions, combination of plates, thickness of upper plate are examined in relation to welding strength and microstructure of welded region. The obtained results are summarized as follows. Welding defects such as cavity and crack showed a tendency to easily occur in the case where 1) pulse duration is short, 2) laser power is high, 3) PBS plate with high thermal diffusivity is used for lower plate. Among these defects, the occurrence of cavity cased a drop of welding strength. This results from the reduction of welding area between upper and lower plates. In SK-5/SUS304 plates (thickness: 0.2/0.4mm/, welding strength was the highest in welding conditions: laser power is 30J/pulse, pulse duration 9ms, amount of defocus +2mm.

The Nd:YAG laser process is known to have high speed and deep penetration capability to become one of the most advanced welding technologies. In spite of its good mechanical characteristics, SM45C carbon steel has a high carbon contents and suffers a limitation in the industrial application due to the poor welding properties. The major process parameters studied in the present laser welding experiment were position of focus, travel speed and laser power.

This study deals with the laser cutting of stencil for the PCB. The most important aim of this study is to determine optimal conditions which make good-qualify stencil in Nd:YAG laser cutting. We made an experiment according to various variables (power. type of mask. gas pressure, cutting speed, and pulse width) and analyzed the cutting characteristics (surface roughness, kerf width. dross) . Each variable has optimal value for good-qualify cut edge under fixed condition. And neural network after learning experimental data with a million time iteration could predict surface roughness of cut edge under arbitrary condition approximately.

A pulsed Nd:YAG laser is used widely for materials processing and medical instrument. It's very important to control the laser energy density in those fields using a pulsed Nd:YAG laser. A pulse repetition rate and a pulse width are regarded as the most dominant factors to control the energy density of laser beam. In this paper, the alternating charge and discharge system was designed to adjust a pulse repetition rate. This system is controlled by microprocessor and allows to frequence an expensive condenser for high frequency to cheap one for low frequency. In addtion, The microcontroller monitors the flow of cooling water, short circuit, and miss firing and so on. We designed Nd:YAG laser firmware with smart microcontroller, and want to explain general matters about the firmware from now.

A 532 nm Nd-YAG laser was applied to crystallize amorphous Si thin films in order to evaluate the applicability of a Nd-YAG laser to low-temperature polycrystalline Si technology. The irradiation of a green laser was controlled during the crystallization of amorphous Si thin films deposited onto glass substrates in a sophisticated process. Raman spectroscopy and UV-Visible spectrophotometry were employed to quantify the degree of crystallization in the Si thin films in terms of its optical transmission and vibrational characteristics. The effectiveness of the Nd-YAG laser is suggested as a feasible alternative that is capable of crystallizing the amorphous Si thin films.

난반사체를 이용한 다이오드 횡여기 Nd:YAG 레이저 헤드의 설계코드를 개발하여 레이저 결정 내 홉수된 빔의 균일성과 최대 레이저 출력을 갖는 설계요소의 조건에 관해 분석하고, 수치해석 방법으로 열렌즈 효과를 고려한 레이저 공진기의 레이저 출력을 계산하고 실험치와 비교 분석하였다. 1,080W의 여기광 출력에서 측정된 약 504 W의 레이저 출력은 열렌즈 효과를 고려하여 수치 해석적으로 계산된 레이저 출력과 레이저 공진기의 안정영역에서 거의 일치함을 확인하였다.

Welding characteristics of austienite 304 stainless and SM45C using a continuous wave Nd:YAG laser n experimentally investigated 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 Inter than those involved in conventional welding processes, leading to a rather small weld zone. Experiments are performed for 304 stainless steel plates changing several process parameter 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 and plates, etc. The Nd:YAG laser welding process is one of the most advanced manufacturing technologies owing to its high speed and penetration. This paper describes the weld ability of SM45C carbon steel for machine structural use by Nd:YAG laser. The follow 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.

The FPCB is used for electronic products such as LCD display. The process of manufacturing FPCB includes a cutting process, in which each single FPCB is cut and separated from the panel where a series of FPCBs are arrayed. The most-widely used cutting method is the mechanical punching, which has the problem of creating burrs and cracks. In this paper, the cutting characteristics of the FPCB have been experimented using Nd:YAG DPSS UV laser as a way of solving this problem. To maximize the industrial application of this laser cutting process, test samples of the multilayered FPCB have been chosen as it is actually needed in industry. The cutting area of the FPCB has four different types of layer structure. First, to cut the test sample, the threshold laser cut-off fluence has been found. Various combinations of laser and process parameters have been made to supply the acquired laser cut-off fluence. The cutting characteristics in terms of the variation of the parameters are analyzed. The laser and process parameters are optimized, in order to maximize the cutting speed and to reach the best quality of the cutting area. The laser system for the process automation has been also developed.

본 연구는 유치와 영구치의 법랑질과 상아질을 bur를 이용하여 삭제한 경우와 Er:YAG laser를 이용하여 삭제한 경우 형성되는 와동의 미세학적인 형태를 관찰하고 삭제 효과를 비교하기 위함이다. 유치와 영구치의 법랑질과 상아질을 #330 bur 와 5 Hz의 150mJ, 200mJ, 250mJ 그리고 300mJ 조사세기로 Er:YAG laser를 조사하여 1mm 두께의 표본이 삭제되는 시간을 측정하였다. 또한 삭제된 표면을 관찰하기 위해서 유치와 영구치 각각 5개에 #330 bur와 5Hz의 150mJ, 200mJ, 250mJ, 300mJ 조사세기로 Er:YAG laser를 1초동안 조사하여 횡단면과 종단면으로 나누어 관찰하였다. 1. Er:YAG 레이저를 사용하여 삭제한 경우 유치와 영구치, 법랑질과 상아질 모두 bur를 이용하여 삭제한 경우보다 삭제 시간이 길었다(P<0.05). 2. 법랑질을 삭제할 경우 bur를 사용시 영구치보다 유치에서 삭제시간이 더 길었다. 그러나 Er:YAG 레이저 사용시에는 유치와 영구치 사이에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다(P>0.05). 3. 상아질을 삭제할 경우 bur사용시 영구치에서 삭제시간이 더 길었으며 Er:YAG레이저 사용시 150mJ, 5Hz에서는 유의하게 영구치에서 더 긴 삭제시간을 보였으나 나머지 다른 출력의 레이저에서는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다(P<0.05). 4. SEM 관찰시 bur를 이용하여 치아를 삭제한 경우 치질유형에 관계없이 경계가 비교적 명확한 와동 변연을 보였다. 그러나 와동 변연에서 균열과 $10-100{\mu}m$의 microchipping이 관찰되었다. 와동벽은 회전식 bur에 따른 줄무늬 모양의 표면을 보이고 있었다. 편평한 와동저를 관찰할 수 있었으며 역시 와동벽과 마찬가지로 거친 표면을 보이고 있었다. 5. 레이저를 이용하여 치아를 삭제한 경우 와동의 변연이 명확하고 날카롭게 형성되었다. 와동의 상부의 직경은 조사에너지와 pulse repetition rate가 커질수록 점차 증가하였다. 와동벽은 불규칙하게 배열되었으며 와동의 변연이나 바닥에 비해 불규칙한 양상을 보여주었다. 와동저는 일반적으로 둥근 원추형이며 비교적 부드러운 표면을 보였다. 이상의 결과를 요약해보면 Er:YAG 레이저는 유치와 영구치에서 비슷한 삭제 시간이 소요되었다. 그러나, 법랑질보다는 상아질에 더 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 실험 결과 레이저를 이용하여 치아를 삭제한 경우 bur사용에 비해 3배 이상의 삭제시간이 소요되었다. 그러나, 레이저를 이용하여 치아를 삭제할 경우 깨끗한 와동 변연이 형성되고 smear layer가 형성되지 않는 점이 장점으로 사료된다.
