We report the precipitation of ZnO nanocrystals, Ag-clusters, and Ag nanoparticles in Ag/Er/Yb doped borate glasses by furnace annealing and $CO_2$ laser annealing. The XRD analysis revealed the precipitation of ZnO and Ag phases. The absorption spectra, the TEM and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) revealed the incorporation of Er and Yb ions into ZnO nanocrystals formed by a laser technique and showed the surface plasmon band of Ag nanoparticles. The down-converted blue emission intensity of $Er^{3+}$ ions obtained under 365 nm excitation was enhanced by more than a hundred times in the glass treated by furnace annealing, mainly due to the energy transfer from Ag-clusters. Moreover, we discussed the contribution of Ag nanoparticles and defects to emission characteristics in the glasses treated by two annealing techniques. Up-conversion emissions of the $Er^{3+}$ ions under 980 nm excitation were enhanced due to the incorporation of $Er^{3+}$ and $Yb^{3+}$ ions into ZnO nanocrystals after thermal treatments.

A femtosecond-laser inscribed Yb:YAG surface channel waveguide (WG) laser with single-walled carbon nanotubes deposited on the top surface of the WG was passively Q-switched by evanescent field interaction. Q-switched operation of the 14-mm-long compact Yb:YAG WG laser was achieved near 1031 nm with two different pumping schemes (single- and double-pass pumping) with an output coupling transmission of 91%. The Q-switched pulse characteristics depending on the absorbed pump power were investigated for both pumping geometries and analyzed in detail based on theoretical modeling. The best performances (energy/pulse duration) for each configuration were 204.4 nJ/75 ns at a repetition rate of 1.87 MHz, and 201.1 nJ/81 ns at 1.75 MHz for single- and double-pass pumping, respectively.

Er3+/Yb3+-codoped NaLa(MoO4)2 colloidal nanocrystals were synthesized by pulsed laser ablations in de-ionized water and sodium dodecyl sulfate (NaC12H25SO4, SDS) aqueous solution for up-conversion (UC) luminescence bio-labeling applications. The influences of the SDS molecules on the crystallinities, crystal morphologies, crystallite sizes, and UC luminescence properties of the prepared Er3+/Yb3+-codoped NaLa(MoO4)2 colloidal nanocrystals were investigated in detail. Under a 980-nm excitation, the Er3+/Yb3+-codoped nanocolloidal NaLa(MoO4)2 suspension exhibited a weak red emission near 670 nm and strong green UC emissions at 530 and 550 nm, corresponding to the intra 4f transitions of Er3+ (4F9/2, 2H11/2, 4S3/2) → Er3+ (4I15/2). When the SDS solution was used, a smaller average crystallite size, narrower size distribution, and enhanced UC luminescence were observed. These characteristics were attributed to the amphoteric SDS molecules attached to the positively charged Er3+/Yb3+-codoped NaLa(MoO4)2 colloidal nanocrystals, effectively occupying the oxygen defect on their surfaces. The Er3+/Yb3+-codoped nanocrystalline NaLa(MoO4)2 suspension prepared in the SDS solution exhibited a remarkably strong green emission visible to the naked eyes.

환경 규제 및 배출가스 규제에 의하여 차량 경량화를 위해 점차적으로 Al합금의 차체 및 부품적용 비율이 점차 확대되고 있다. 이에 따라 알루미늄의 레이저 용접 시 출력, 초점거리, 용접 속도 등 공정 변수의 상관관계와 용접 결함 현상에 의한 관심이 집중된 연구가 많이 발표되었으며, 알루미늄 5000계열의 경우 박판 용접 시 기공, 균열 등 과 같은 결함 현상을 방지하기 위하여, Twin spot laser, Laser-TIG hybrid 등과 같은 공법 적용을 제안되었다. 본 연구에서는 Yb:YAG laser welding 시 Mg 함량이 높은 AA5J32을 소재를 이용하여 박판 겹치기 용접 시 Back side spiking 결함 방지를 위한 레이저 빔 출력 파형을 설계하여 실험을 수행하였다. 또한 파형의 특성에 따라 나타나는 겹치기 용접부의 기계적 특성과 기공에 대해 알아 보고자 하였다.

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.

Yb$^{3+}$ 이온은 InGaAs LD 및 Ti:sapphire 레이저로 펌핑할 수 있는 940 nm에서의 흡수대를 가지고 있고, 1.03 $mu extrm{m}$의 형광방출 특성을 가지고 있으며, 지금까지 알려진 1 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 파장대의 레이저 활성이온 중에서 가장 적게 열을 발생하는 특성을 가지고 있음이 알려져 최근에는 Yb$^{3+}$ 이온을 첨가한 여러 가지 레이저 매질이 연구되고 있다.[1] 그 중에서도 Yb$^{3+}$ ion doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Yb:YAG) 단결정은 충분하게 넓은 흡수선폭, 좋은 열광학적 특성, 고출력 작동을 하게 하는 stokes shift, 그리고 LD에 의한 펌핑을 가능하게 하는 940 nm 영역에서의 흡수 및 긴 여기시간을 가진 이상적인 매질로 알려져 있다.[2] 이러한 특성으로 인해 Yb:YAG 단결정은 femtosecond 레이저 등 각종 레이저 시스템의 소형화[3]를 가져왔으며, 레이저 결정의 양산 가능성 및 레이저 기기의 소형화에 따르는 시스템의 가격 감소가 가능하므로 Yb:YAG microchip 레이저는 향후 고출력 레이저 기기 산업의 중추가 될 것으로 기대된다.

High-energy, high-power, quasi-continuous wave (QCW) operation of double-clad Yb fiber lasers incorporating an incoherent signal combiner is reported. We constructed four efficient, high-power Yb fiber lasers, each of which produced rectangular pulses at 1080 nm with a pulse energy greater than 15 J, and a pulse duration of 10 ms at a repetition rate of 10 Hz, corresponding to an average power of over 150 W and a peak power of over 1.5 kW for ~200 W of incident pump power at 915 nm. These laser outputs were combined by a homemade incoherent fiber signal combiner with low loss, yielding a maximum peak power of ~6.0 kW in a beam with $M^2{\approx}12.5$. The detailed laser characteristics and prospects for further power scaling in QCW operation are discussed.
