A single-mode erbium-doped fiber laser is constructed by using a intracore fiber Bragg grating and a unidirectional fiber loop mirror. The laser cavity is designed in such a way that the laser beam forms a travelling wave in the gain medium by placing the erbium-doped fiber inside the unidirectional loop and that the wavelength-selective feedback is made from the outside of the loop by a fiber grating with 0.2 nm reflection linewidth. An additional fiber ring resonator is constructed and used as an optical spectrum analyzer to observe the variation of the laser mode spectra. As the result, relatively stable single mode, single polarization output is observed for the most of the time except some mode hoppings in minute scale due to enviommental temperature variations. tions.

Purpose： The purpose of this study is to describe a distributed circuit approach to high frequency volume coil design illustrated with specific coils built accordingly and results obtained from animal studies at 3.0 tesla. Method： All experiments were conducted on 3T MRI system (Medinus Co., Ltd. Korea). The tuned TEM resonator measures 15cm outer diameter. by 10cm inside diameter by 30cm in length. The inside diameter and length were determined by animals body or head size (eg. rats or small dogs, etc.) while the outer diameter was chosen for compactness with some sacrifice of the optimal coil Q predicted for a larger cavity. A spin echo sequence with a TR/TE/flip angle=500/12.4ms/$75^{\circ}$was used to check image qualities with phantom. The breed of rat which used for animal images was Sprague-dawley(SD) and was anesthetic using ketamin hydrochloride 75mg/kg.

We report development of a frequency-stabilized mid-infrared continuous-wave (cw) optical parametric oscillator (OPO) based on a fan-out grating MgO:PPLN crystal pumped at 1064 nm. The OPO resonator was designed as a pump-enhanced standing-wave cavity that resonates to the pump and signal beams. To realize stable operation of the OPO, we applied a modified Pound-Drever-Hall technique, which is a well-known method for powerful laser frequency stabilization. Tuning a poling period of the fan-out grating of the crystal allows wavelength-tunable OPO outputs from 1510 nm to 1852 nm and from 2500 nm to 3600 nm for signal and idler beams, respectively. At the idler wavelengths of 2500 nm, 3000 nm and 3500 nm, we achieved more than 50 mW of output powers at a pumping power of 1.1 W. The long-term stability of the OPO was confirmed by recording the power and wavelength variations of the idler for an hour.

Recently, noise reduction in room air conditioners has been one of the important issues as well as cooling efficiency. The rotary compressor is the dominant noise source in an air conditioner. A number of studies have been conducted on reducing compressor noise through improving muffler and resonator design. However the noise from the accumulator, a noise delivering path between compressor and air conditioner, is not fully taken into consideration. The accumulator contains a large inner cavity, and usually generates additional resonance noise during operation. This paper aims to conduct an optimal design for reducing accumulator noise by maximizing the transmission loss within the target frequency range that represents high-order nonlinearity. Design of experiments and radial basis function neural network are used in the context of approximate meta-models, and genetic algorithm is used as an optimization tool.

We demonstrate self-starting passIve mode locking of a Cr:LiSAF laser, using a SCIDlconduclor Saturable Absorber Mirror (SESAM), Two high-power red semiconductor lasers (Coherent S-67-500C-100-H) of wavelength 667 nm and maximum power of 500 mW were used as pump lasers, The cavity has 10 cm radius-ai-curvature folding minors, two SF 10 prisms, a 99% reflectivity output coupler and a SESAM at dIe focus of a 10 cm radIus-at-curvature mirror. We used the laser crystal in BrewsterBrewster shape with 1 5% $Cr^{+3}$ ion concentration and the length of 6 mm, An X-shaped resonator was used to compensate the astigmatism induced by tile crystal.
