We describe the pulse forming of pulsed $CO_2$laser using multi-pulse superposition technique. A various pulse length, high duty cycle pulse forming network(PFN) is constructed by time sequence. That is, this study shows a technology that makes it possible to make various pulse shapes by turning on SCRs of three PFN modules consecutively at a desirable delay time with the aid of PIC one-chip microprocessor. The power supply for this experiment consists of three PFN modules. Each PFN module uses a capacitor, a pulse forming inductor, a SCR, a High voltage pulse transformer, and a bridge rectifier on each transformer secondary. The PFN modules operate at low voltage and drive the primary of HV pulse transformer. The secondary of the transformer has a full-wave rectifier, which passes the pulse energy to the load in a continuous sequence. We investigated laser pulse shape and duration as various trigger time intervals of SCRs among three PFN modules. As a result, we can obtain laser beam with various pulse shapes and durations from about 250 $mutextrm{s}$ to 600 $mutextrm{s}$.

This paper describes the effectiveness of laser pulse shaping in eliminating weld defects such as porosity, cracks and undercuts in pulsed Nd:YAG laser welding. A large porosity was formed in a keyhole mode of deeply penetrated weld metal of any stainless steel. Solidification cracks were present in STS 310S with above 0.017%P and undercuts were formed in STS 303 with about 0.3%S. The conditions for the formation of porosity were determined in further detail in STS 316. With the objectives of obtaining a fundamental knowledge of formation and prevention of weld defects, the fusion and solidification behavior of a molten puddle was observed during laser spot welding of STS 310S through a high speed video photographing technique. It was deduced that cellular dendrite tips grew rapidly from the bottom to the surface, and consequently residual liquid remained at the grain boundaries in wide regions and enhanced the solidification cracking susceptibility. Several laser pulse shapes were investigated and optimum pulse shapes were proposed for the reduction and prevention of porosity and solidification cracking.

This work was carried out to investigate the welding behavior of thin A3003 Al alloy sheets by Nd : YAG laser beam. Considering bead shape and mechanical properties, the laser pulse shapes selected were two kinds of 2-division and 3-division by varying power level and pulse duration. In order to obtain optimum conditions, the factorial design method and central composite design method were applied. Tensile test, optical microscopy, micro hardness test and TEM analysis were performed. Due to the annealing caused by thermal effect during laser welding, precipitates were coarsended. The HAZ was softened and failed during tensile test. The hardness of HAZ was lower than that of base metal, since the heat input relieved the work hardening effect and caused grain growth.

Ultra short pulse laser processing with the PI (polyimide) substrate is conducted to increase flexibility and radius of curvatures. A femtosecond laser is used to perform micro machining by minimizing the heat effect in PI substrate. The laser processing according to the parameters, such as fabricated line width, depth, laser power, distance between lines, is carried out to understand the characteristics of fabricated lines. A bending test is carried out to evaluate bending shapes and the radius of curvature after bending and spreading it 1000 times. The results demonstrates that the radius of curvature decreases in deepen lines and increases with the augment of the number of the fabricated lines, and distance between lines.

We observe the distortion of the back scattered Stokes pulse and the complementary distortion of the transmitted pulse by the stimulated Brillouin scattering when a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser pulse injected into a single mode optical fiber. We determine the constant required energy for the SBS by comparing their temporal shapes.
