Mobile pulse scanning Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) are essential components of intelligent vehicles capable of autonomous travel. Obstacle detection functions of autonomous vehicles require very low failure rates. With the increasing number of autonomous vehicles equipped with scanning LIDARs to detect and avoid obstacles and navigate safely through the environment, the probability of mutual interference becomes an important issue. The reception of foreign laser pulses can lead to problems such as ghost targets or a reduced signal-to-noise ratio. This paper will show the probability that any two scanning LIDARs will interfere mutually by considering spatial and temporal overlaps. We have conducted four experiments to investigate the occurrence of the mutual interference between scanning LIDARs. These four experimental results introduced the effects of mutual interference and indicated that the interference has spatial and temporal locality. It is hard to ignore consecutive mutual interference on the same line or the same angle because it is possible the real object not noise or error. It may make serious faults because the obstacle detection functions of autonomous vehicle rely on heavily the scanning LIDAR.

A CCD camera with a laser stripe was applied to realize the automatic weld seam tracking in GMAW. It takes relatively long time to process image on-line control using the basic Hough transformation, but it has a tendency of robustness over the noises such as spatter and arc light. For this reason. it was complemented with adaptive Hough transformation to have an on-line processing ability for scanning specific weld points. The adaptive Hough transformation was used to extract laser stripes and to obtain specific weld points. The 3-dimensional information obtained from the vision system made it possible to generate the weld torch path and to obtain the information such as width and depth of weld line. We controled the wire feeding rate using informations of weld line.

When cutting 2.0cm-thick red oak and hard maple with an air-jet-assisted carbon-dioxide laser of 2kW output power, maximum feed speed at the point of full penetration of the beam decreased with increasing the angle between grain and cutting direction. Feed speed averaged 3.75 and 3.38 meters per minute for red oak and hard maple, respectively. Gray-level of laser-cut surfaces were analyzed by image analysis system. The highest gray level of laser-cut surface was obtained when red oak was cut parallel to grain by laser. Surface profiler was used to scan the sawn and laser-cut surfaces. Center line average roughnesses of laser-cut surfaces were higher than those of sawn surfaces. Scanning electron micrographs showed the cell walls which were melted by laser.

A light guide panel (LGP) is an element of the LCD back light unit, which is used for display devices. In this study, a laser marking process is applied to the fabrication of light guide panels as the new fabrication process. In order to obtain a light guide panel which has high luminance and uniformity, four principal parameters such as power, scanning speed, ratio of line gap, and number of line were selected as important factors. A Web-based design tool was developed to generate patterns of light guide panel, and the tool may assist the designer to develop optimized patterns. Topcon-BM7 was used for luminance measurement of each specimen 100mm$\times$100mm area. By Taguchi method optimized levels of each parameters such as 40W of power, 30mm/s of scanning speed, 100:50 ratio of pattern gap, and 90 line of pattern were found by Taguchi method.

광위상변조기를 이용하여 OCT용 초고속 광지연단을 설계하고 수치해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석은 electro-optic 위상 변조기에 1310nm, 10ps의 펄스폭을 갖는 레이저 광원을 적용하여 수행하였다. 수치해석결과로 500MHz의 변조 주파수일때 19ps의 시간 지연을 얻었으며, 이는 기존의 기계적 검출 방식(수십kHz)의 OCT장치에 비해 1000배이상 빠른 검출이 가능할 것으로 예상된다.

A CCD-camera, which is structured with vision system, was used to realize automatic seam-tracking system and 3-D information which is needed to generate torch path, was obtained by using laser-slip beam. To extract laser strip and obtain welding-specific point, Adaptive Hough-transformation was used. Although the basic Hough transformation takes too much time to process image on line, it has a tendency to be robust to the noises as like spatter. For that reson, it was complemented with Adaptive Hough transformation to have an on-line processing ability for scanning a welding-specific point. the dead zone,where the sensing of weld line is impossible, is eliminated by rotating the camera with its rotating axis centered at welding torch. The camera angle is controlled so as to get the minimum image data for the sensing of weld line, hence the image processing time is reduced. The fuzzy controller is adapted to control the camera angle.

The shape and size variations of the nanopatterns produced on a positive photoresist using a near-field scanning optical microscope(NSOM) are investigated with respect to the process variables. A cantilever type nanoprobe having a 100nm aperture at the apex of the pyramidal tip is used with the NSOM and a He-Cd laser at a wavelength of 442nm as the illumination source. Patterning characteristics are examined for different laser beam power at the entrance side of the aperture( $P_{in}$ ), scan speed of the piezo stage(V), repeated scanning over the same pattern, and operation modes of the NSOM(DC and AC modes). The pattern size remained almost the same for equal linear energy density. Pattern size decreased for lower laser beam power and greater scan speed, leading to a minimum pattern width of around 50nm at $P_{in}$ =1.2$\mu$W and V=12$\mu$m/. Direct writing of an arbitrary pattern with a line width of about 150nm was demonstrated to verify the feasibility of this technique for nanomask fabrication. Application on high-density data storage using azopolymer is discussed at the end.

Due to the variety of disturbance, it is not ease to accomplish the in-process detection of weld line with non-contact sensor. To get around this difficulties problem develop an automatic seam tracking weld system, the reliable signal processing algorithm has been recommanded. In this research, laser displacement sensor is applied as a seam finder in the automatic tracking system. The sensor is controlled by a dc servo motor which is mounted at X-Y moving table. X-Y moving table manipulated by an ac servo motor controls the position and velocity of the welding torch. First, X-Y table moves to Y-axis to search the welding joint feature before starting the welding, and welding joint is from the scanning data and weighting factor for each other. Second, weld line is determined using proposed signal processing algorithm during welding process. Form the experimental results, we could see the possibility that laser displacement sensor with procesed algorithm can be used as a seam finder in welding process under the severe noise (spatter,arc light etc.) condition

Femtosecond laser machining has been applied for creating a sensor function in silica glass optical fibers. Femtosecond laser pulses make it possible to fabricate micro structures in processed regions of a very thin glass fiber line because femtosecond laser pulses can extremely minimize thermal effects. With the laser machining to optical fiber using a single shot of 210-fs laser at a wavelength of 800 nm, it was observed that a processed region surrounded a thin layer which seemed to be a hollow cavity monitored by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). This study aims at a theoretical investigation for the processed region by using a numerical analysis in order to embed sensing function to optical fibers. Numerical methods based finite element method (FEM) has been used for an optical waveguide modeling. This report suggests two types modeling and describes a comparative study on optical losses obtained by the experiment and the numerical analysis.

새롭게 개발된 레이저 콘포컬 현미경을 이용해 암석 불연속면의 거칠기를 측정하였다. 레이저의 파장은 488 nm이며, 현미경은 두 개의 galvano-meter scanner mirror를 이용한 광 편광법에 의해 제어된다. 레이저 반사를 통한 자동 초점기능은 관찰대상을 빠르고 정확하게 측정할 수 있다. 이 현미경은 기존의 다른 콘포컬 현미경에 비해 광축방향의 해상도를 크게 개선하였고, 특수 제작한 현미경 스테이지를 이용해 최대 $10{\;}{\times}{\;}10{\;}cm$ 까지 크기의 시료를 측정할 수 있다. 측정간격은 x와 y 방향으로 $2.5{\;}\mu\textrm{m}$씩이며, z방향의 최대 측정해상도는 $10{\;}\mu\textrm{m}$로서, 다른 방범에 비해 훨씬 정확하다. 조립질과 세립질의 입도가 다른 화강암을 대상으로 인장시험(Brazilian test)를 통해 인공절리를 생성시켰고, 생성된 좌우의 절리면에 각각 3개씩의 측선을 설정하였다. 각 측선을 따라 측정한 높이는 1차원은 물론 거칠기의 세밀한 양상을 보여주는 2차원과 3차원의 디지털 이미지로 표현된다. 조립질 화강암의 1차원 단면은 세립질보다 불연속면의 기복이 더 심함을 잘 보여준다. 거칠기를 정량적으로 특성화하고 거칠기를 구성하는 성분 중 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 성분을 파악하기 위해 고속퓨리에 변환 (FFT)를 이용한 스펙트럼 분석을 실시하였다. 스펙트럼 분석결과 저주파 성분이 큰 시효의 경우 거칠기의 기복변화가 심하고 긴 파장을 나타내는 경향이 있음을 구명하였다.
