X선 자유전자 레이저(XFEL:X-ray Free Electron Laser)는 통상의 레이저와 달리 물질에 속박되어 있지 않은 자유전자를 이용해 레이저 증폭을 일으킨다. 특히 펨토초의 펄스형태, 완벽한 결맞음 및 고휘도 등의 특성으로 X선 실험과학분야의 새로운 시대를 예고하는 꿈의 광원장치로 불리고 있다. 일본의 이화학연구소(Rikagaku Kenkyusho) 산하 하리마연구소(Harima Institute)에는 X선 자유전자 레이저 시설인 SACLA(SPring-8 Angstrom Compact free electron Laser)가 존재하며, SACLA의 독특한 설계와 기술은 세계 곳곳에서 건설되고 있는 XFEL 시설의 가이드라인이 되고 있다. 이번호에서는 SACLA 특징, SACLA 위원회와 도달광원 성능, SACLA의 토폰 빔 라인과 광학계 등을 소개한다. 이 원고는 하리마연구소의 이시카와 테츠야(Tetsuya Ishikawa) 소장이 월간 OPTRONICS 2012년 8월호에 기고한 내용으로 그린광학의 유정훈 팀장이 번역에 도움을 주었다.

In this paper, three carbon sources, i.e., solid graphite, gaseous CH4 and liquid ethanol, and one solid silicon source were employed to synthesize SiC/C nanocomposite powders by arc-discharge plasma. The processing conditions such as the component ratios of raw materials, atmospheric gases, etc. were adjusted for controllable synthesis of the nanopowders. It is indicated that both of solid graphite and silicon can be co-evaporated and reacted to form nanophases of cubic ${\beta}$-SiC with ~50 nm in mean size and a little free graphite; the carbon atoms decomposed from gaseous $CH_4$ favor to combine with the evaporated silicon atoms to form the dominant SiC nanophase; liquid carbon source of ethanol can also be used to harvest the main ${\beta}$-SiC and minor 6H-SiC phases in the assembly of nanoparticles. The as-prepared SiC/C nanocomposite powders were further purified by a heat-treatment in air and their photocatalytic performances were then greatly improved.

The Pohang Accelerator Laboratory X-ray Free Electron Laser (PAL-XFEL) is a 0.1 nm hard X-ray FEL which aims at providing photon flux higher than $1{\times}10^{12}$ photons/pulse using a 10-GeV electron linac. The vacuum system of the machine consists of an injector section including an S-band photocathode RF gun, 10-GeV electron linac section based on S-band normal conducting accelerating structures and a 150-m long out-vacuum undulator system. We introduce the present status of PAL-XFEL vacuum systems.

Free electron lasers (FELs) are promising sources of coherent radiation that can provide users with radiations having a wide-range frequency-tunability and good spectral characteristics for basic science and industrial applications. Especially in Terahertz or X-ray ranges of spectrum, FELs can generate much stronger radiations than conventional light sources. In this paper, we introduce the working principles and key technologies of FELs, the status and the prospects of FEL developments.

The laboratory astrophysics is a new emerging field of basic sciences, and has tremendous discovery potentials. The laboratory astrophysics investigates the basic physical phenomena in the astrophysical objects in controlled and reproducible manners, which has become possible only recently due to the newly-established intense photon and ion beam facilities worldwide. In this presentation, we will introduce several promising ideas for laboratory astrophysics programs that might be readily incorporated in the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory X-ray Free Electron Laser (PAL-XFEL). For example, precise spectroscopic measurements using Electron Beam Ion Trap (EBIT) and intense X-ray photons from the PAL-XFEL can be performed to explore the fundamental processes in high energy X-ray phenomena in the visible universe. Besides, in many violent astrophysical events, the energy density of matter becomes so high that the traditional plasma physics description becomes inapplicable. Generation of such high-energy density states can be also be achieved by using the intense photon beams available from the PAL-XFEL.

In this study, we developed a lead-free $P_2O_5-V_2O_5-ZnO$ glass frit for sealing OLED using laser irradiation. The frit satisfied the characteristics required for laser sealing such as low glass transition temperature, low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), high water-resistance, and high absorption at the wavelength of the laser beam. Ceramic fillers were added to the glass frit in order to further reduce and match its CTE with that of the commercial glass substrate. The addition of Zirconium Tungsten Phosphate (ZWP) to the frit yielded the most desirable results, reducing the CTE to $45.4{\times}10^{-7}/^{\circ}C$, which is very close to that of the glass substrate ($44.0{\times}10^{-7}/^{\circ}C$). Successful formation of a solid sealing layer was observed by optical and scanning electron microscopy.
