A novel fiber-optic sensor system is suggested in which fiber Bragg grating sensors are demodulated by a wavelength-sweeping fiber laser source and a spectrometer. The spectrometer consists of a diffraction grating and a 512-pixel photo-diode array. The reflected Bragg wavelength information is transformed into spatial intensity distribution on the photo-diode array. The peak locations linearly correspond to the Bragg wavelengths, regardless of the nonlinearities in the wavelength tuning mechanism of the fiber laser. The high power density of the fiber laser enables obtaining high signal-to-noise ratio outputs. The improved demodulation characteristics were experimentally demonstrated with a fiber Bragg grating sensor array with 5 gratings. The sensor outputs were in much more linear fashion compared with the conventional tunable band-pass filter demodulation. Also it showed advantages in signal processing, due to the high level of photo-diode array signals, over the broadband light source system, especially in measurement of fast varying dynamic physical quantities.

Laser welding of thermoplastics is a new jointing technique with a host of advantages. It is not only another extremely useful welding method but also a cost-effective alternative to traditional techniques involving screws or adhesives. Transmission laser-welding of thermoplastics such as polycarbonate(PC), polypropylene(PP), polyvinyl chloride(PVC), low density polyethylene(LDPE) and acrylic using a high power diode laser has been studied experimentally. The optical transmission of each plastic has been measured at laser wavelength of 808nm. The weld process has been characterized by the specific energy and weld time required for each plastic. The characteristics of laser welding between same plastics have also been analyzed.

We developed a new laser irradiation (BLDA: Blue Multi-Laser-Diode Annealing) system. The system forms the uniform line beam, which is constructed by 48 pieces of semiconductor lasers. This new system has achieved high laser output stability and the highly accurate beam shape by adopting a reliable laser control, the auto-focus control in addition to an original laser photosynthesis technology and the beam homogenizing technology. It was confirmed to crystallize the Si films effectively with good quality.

We have chained 459nm blue laser radiation generated by intracavity sum frequency generation( SFG ) due to the mixing of the 1064 nm laser output of a Nd:YVO4 pumped by diode and the 809nm radiation from higg-power semiconductor laser(500mW). The maximum blue output power of 0.95 mW was obtained using 400 mW input power of semiconductor laser at the type II phase matching condition (${\psi}=90^{\circ}\;{\theta}=90^{\circ}$). The threshold input power of blue laser generation was 120 mW.

This paper presents a study on heat transfer and residual distortion analysis of laser welded EDFA(Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier) LD(Laser Diode) Pump using the finite element method. In the production process of LD Pump in light-wave communication system, ferrule and saddle are welded by Nd-YAG laser. These parts experience thermal and mechanical effect during heating and cooling cycle with the laser welding. Thus distortion happens in the laser-welded packaging, and it makes an error in detecting the light signal translate through optical fiber in LD Pump. The amount of final displacement produced by the laser welding is predicted using the finite element method. And the optimal shape of saddle is proposed with the results of numerical analyses to minimize the displacement.

Absorptive bistable laser diode was analyzed by using traveling wave model in conjunction with the finite-difference method. Carrier and photon density distributions were calculated and the output characteristics were obtained. The results for both the steady-state and transient (switching) cases were compared with those of the rate equation approach.

The structural dependence of harmonic and intermodulation distortion characteristics in 1.55${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ DFB-LCD were investigated. The linearity of 1.55${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ DFB-LD was greatly improved by employing a partially corrugated structure.

A measurement technique in an industry site is basis technique which is bringing a ripple effect on an increasing productivity. Recently, a measurement request is increasing in the industry field as well as the variety field such as leisure, research. Thus, it is in point of time to secure an internal technique about measurement using a laser. In this paper, we prepare to develop the industrial precision laser distance measure device that is available measuring in several hundred meters[m]. In other words, we are planning to measure a wide distance using a laser diode that has long life and is compact, inexpensive. Through this research, we'll secure the pulse laser control technique, a signal processing, technique for distance calculation about a laser distance measurement system. And hereafter, we'll plan to commercialize a laser distance device using this research.
