  • There is growing interest in minimizing postoperative scarring after a thyroidectomy. Among the many treatment types, laser therapy, especially picosecond-domain laser therapy, is accepted as a standard method. In the present case, a patient with a pigmented, contracted scar was treated using the combination of a picosecond laser and ablative fractional (AF) CO2 laser. After 15 sessions of 1,064-nm picosecond with micro lens array (MLA) and AF CO2 laser application, the patient showed significant improvement in their pigmented lesions and scar contracture with no noticeable side effects for 16 months. These results suggest that a combination of picosecond laser with MLA and AF CO2 laser can treat pigmented, contracted scars safely and effectively.

  • 현재 지구 환경 오염에 관한 관심이 증가하면서, 공해가 없는 자연 에너지원에 대한 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 그 중에서도 태양전지 분야중 염료감응형 태양전지(DSC)는 Si계 태양전지와 비교하여 낮은 제조비용등 여러 가지 이유로 최근 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 따라서 DSC 발전 시스템의 효율 향상이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 태양전지 분야 중에서 독립적인 발전설비가 필요한 도서 및 산간 지역에 전력을 안정적으로 공급할 수 있는 소형발전용의 설비로 "전압 및 전류의 피드백을 통한 DSC Cell의 독립전원의 안정화"에 관해 연구하였다. DSC Cell측의 DC입력을 받아 Boost Converter로 승압 후 Full Bridge 인버터를 사용하여 단상 220V 60Hz의 상용전원으로 변환하였다. 여기서는 32Bit 마이크로프로세서인 DSP TMS320F2812의 A/D변환기능을 이용하여 Boost Converter의 스위칭과 Full Bridge 인버터의 스위칭을 제어하였다. 특히 TMS320F2812의 RTC(Real Time Clock)를 이용하여 출력전압의 안정성 향상에 주목적을 두었다. 실험결과 출력단에서는 220V 변동범위 0.2% 주파수 60Hz의 상용전원을 얻었으며, 프로그램의 개선을 통하여 출력전압의 변동범위를 감소시켜야 될 것이다.

  • We propose a novel application of laser engraving to patterning of light guide panel (LGP) for backlight. The feasibility of three-dimensional engraved pattern in the LGP was verified by measuring brightness and uniformity. To improve the overall uniformity, we have modified proposed patterns and found improved design for patterns. The tailoring of pattern by using laser engraving method could endow the controllability of uniformity. The proposed LGPs are more efficient in both average brightness and uniformity of illumination than the conventional LGPs which have surface pattern on the panel.

  • Following their applications in cardiology, ophthalmology and dentistry among others, the advent of lasers in dermatology and urology had become the success story of the past decade. Laser-assisted treatments in dermatology and urology are mainly based on the laser-induced tissue injury/coagulation and/or ablation, depending upon the desirable clinical endpoint. In this review, we discussed the underlying mechanisms of the laser induced tissue ablation. In any medical laser application, the controlled thermal injury and coagulation, and the extent of ablation, if required, are critical. The laser thermal mechanism of injury is intricately related to the selective absorption of light and its exposure duration, similarly to the laser induced ablation. The laser ablation mechanisms were categorized into four different categories (the photo-thermally induced ablation, the photo-mechanically induced ablation, the plasma induced ablation and the photoablation) and their fundamentals are herein described. The brief history of laser treatment modality in dermatology and urology are summarized.

  • Toshiba has developed a laser peening system for PWRs(pressurized water reactors) as well after the one for BWRs(boiling water reactors), and applied it for BMI(bottom-mounted instrumentation) nozzles, core deluge line nozzles and primary water inlet nozzles of Ikata Unit 1 and 2 of Shikoku Electric Power Company since 2004, which are Japanese operating PWR power plants. Laser pulses were delivered through twin optical fibers and irradiated on two portions in parallel to reduce operation time. For BMI nozzles, we developed a tiny irradiation head for small tubes and we peened the inner surface around J-groove welds after laser ultrasonic testing (LUT) as the remote inspection, and we peened the outer surface and the weld for Ikata Unit 2 supplementary. For core deluge line nozzles and primary water inlet nozzles, we peened the inner surface of the dissimilar metal welding, which is of nickel base alloy, joining a safe end and a low alloy metal nozzle. In this paper, the development and the actual application of the laser peening system for PWR power plants will be described.

  • Nowadays, most automotives companies are making use of laser welding in car body assembly shop. But even though laser welding is better than resistance spot welding in many points, its application has been limited to special technology for manufacturing. The paper introduces in the field of remote welding system (RWS) to improve the process efficiency of laser welding. Positioning time of RWS between welding stitches is dramatically reduced to zero. It is a kind of solutions to generalize laser welding in mass production. This RWS consists of fiber laser, industrial robot and 3-axis scanner.
