Diode laser absorption sensors are advantageous because they may provide fast, sensitive, absolute, and selective measurements of species concentration. These systems are very attractive for practical applications owing to its compactness, resonable cost, robustness, and ease of use. In addition, diode lasers are fiber-optic compatible and thus enable simultaneous measurements of multiple species along a line-of-sight. Recent advances of room-temperature, near-IR and visible diode laser sources for telecommunication, optical data storage applications make it possible to be applied for combustion diagnostics based on diode laser absorption spectroscopy. Therefore, combined with fiber-optics and high sensitive detection strategies, compact and portable sensor systems are now appearing for variety of applications. The objectives of this research are to develope a new gas sensing system and to verify feasibility of this system. Wavelength and power characteristics as a function of injection current and temperature are experimentally found out. Direct absorption spectroscopy has been demonstrated in these experiments and has a bright prospect to this diode laser system.

Lasers are necessity in our life related to the fields of medicine and cosmetic surgery. With 808 nm diode laser and $CO_2$ laser, we made some wounds on a dorsum of rat by laser irradiation. All of irradiations shows thermal effects on the whole region of skin tissues. They make wound damage depending on laser power and irradiation time. Because a collagen is plays an important role in tissue repair, we studied collagen accumulation in wound tissue. For wound healing, collagen accumulation was found in the near region of damage in epidermis and dermis layer of the rat skin. In case of the quantitative analysis of collagen in wound tissue, the amount of collagen in wound tissue by $CO_2$ laser irradiation is higher than that of 808 nm diode laser irradiation. And re-epithelialization was significantly faster in wound by $CO_2$ laser irradiation compared with that of 808 nm diode laser irradiation.

Semiconductor laser diode has a reflective facet in a both-ends side fundamentally. Laser performance for improving, Anti-Reflection and High-reflection coating on the facet of semiconductor laser diode. To prevent internal feedback from both facets for realizing superluminescent diode and reducing the reflection-induced intensity noise of laser diode, it's key techniques are AR/HR coatings. In the study AR coating film were manufactured by Ion-Assisted Deposition(IAD) system. Then manufactured coating film measurement electrical properties(L-I-V, Se, Resistor) and Optical properties (wavelength FFP)

When the laser diode is operated with continuous current, the light intensity from the laser diode deceases with time due to the temperature rise in the active layer. The phenomena, which is often called as DROOP, should be minimized in order to be used as a light source for the laser beam printer. We experimently examined the influences of the laser parameters such as threshold current, differential quantum efficiency on droop. It was found that decreasing the differential quantum efficiency of the laser diode is the effective way to minimize droop.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of diode laser & desensitizing agents to overcome hypersensitizing root surfaces problem after periodontal treatment. 20 patients(60 teeth) presented were volunteered in this study. Diode laser & MS coat was respectively applied on hypersensitizing root surfaces after periodontal treatments. Following application they were evaluated immediately. The results were as follows: 1. The frequency and degree of root surface hypersensitivity levels were measured by the sequence of tactile and air stream. 2. Reduction of root surfaces hypersensitivity by tactile were for Diode laser and Ms coat application respectively $3.0294{\pm}2.0224$ and $3.2692{\pm}1.6139$. 3. Reduction of root surfaces hypersensitivity by air stream were for Diode laser and Ms coat apapplication respectively $3.0294{\pm}2.0224$ and $2.2692{\pm}1.6139$. 4, It could be said that Diode Laser and Ms coat application were significantly effective in reducing dentin hypersensitivity as far as concerned effect, Ms coat applicatio showed more effective than Diode laser. In conclusion, both methods were significantly effective in reducing dentinal hypersensitivity. Therefore, it was recommended that Diode laser and desensitizing agents could be used routinely for patients dentinal hypersensitivity following periodontal treatment.

In this Paper, the saturation behavior in the electrical phenomena of the DH Laser diode is explained theoretically using rate equnations. The carrier density approaches to ns gradually well above the threshold and theoretically expected curve of and calculated value of $\Delta$Vj are exactly equal to the experimental results which was observed, as shown. The carrier saturation factor If is proposed and we show k$\beta$ is a measure of the ideality of the sample diode. In the light of relation, the sample diode's idoality increases as f decreases.

Low level laser therapy has various therapy effects. This paper performed the basic study for developing the Low Level Laser Therapy Equipment for medical treatment. The apparatus has been fabricated using the laser diode and microprocessor unit. This equipment was fabricated using a micro-controller and a laser diode, and designed to enable us to control light time, frequency and so on. In this study, the designed device was used irradiation to find out how 850 nm laser diode affected the cell proliferation of RAT bone-marrow cells. Experiment was performed to irradiation group and non-irradiation group for Rat bone marrow cells. MTT assay method was chosen to verify the cell increase of two groups and the effect of irradiation on cell proliferation was examined by measuring 590 nm transmittance of micro plate reader. As a result, the cell increase of Rat bone marrow cells was verified in irradiation group as compared to non-irradiation group. The fact that specific wavelength irradiation has an effect on cell vitality and proliferation is known through this study.

The objective of this study was to test whether ZP drilling using a 1.48$\mu$m diode laser beam on mouse IVF embryos becomes effective the hatching and normal in vivo development, as a preliminary test for obtaining the additional proof that the 1.48$\mu$m diode laser could be used safely for human applications. The results obtained in this experiment were as follows: when the hatched rates of mouse embryos by laser ZP drilling according to the embryonic stage were examined until 72 hr (in case of blast tocyst: day 4 after IVF) or 120 hr (in case of 4-cell: day 2 after IVF) after treatment, the d data of laser drilled blastocysts (81.8%) was significantly higher than those of control (hatching blastocyst: day 4 after IVF) (54.2%) and laser drilled 4-cell embryos (45.5%) (p<0.05). When the effect of laser drilling on implantation rates following embryo transfer in day 3 synchronized pseudopregnant recipients was examined, the l laser drilled group (48.7%) was slightly higher than that of control group (43.6%). In addition, when the several pregnant mice delivered in two groups were analysed their chromosomal normality and tested reproductive ability, all p pups were presented normal chromosomal number (n=40) and showed normal growth and reproductive ability. Therefore, these results dem-onstrated that ZP drilling using a 1.48$\mu$m diode l laser can increase the embryo hatching and ind duce the normal pregnancy of mouse embryos.

The development of LD(Laser Diode) tester and its control system based on the graphical programming language(LabVIEW) is addressed. The ill tester is used to check the optic power and the optic spectrum of the LD Chip. The emitter size of LD chip and the diameter of the Detector(optic fiber and photo diode) are very small, therefore the test device needs high accuracy. But each motion part of the test device could not accomplish high accuracy due to the limit of the mechanical performance. So, an image processing with machine vision is proposed to compensate for the error. By adopting our method we can reduce the error of position within $\pm$5$\mu\textrm{m}$.
