  • 본 논문에서는 주 증폭기가 양방향 펌핑 방식인 MOPA (master oscillator power amplifier) 협대역 고출력 광섬유 레이저를 제작하였으며, 제작된 레이저의 출력 특성을 연구하였다. 이터븀이 도핑된 코어 25 ㎛, 클래드 400 ㎛ 편광 유지 광섬유를 사용하여 주 증폭부를 제작하였으며, 신호 광원은 PRBS (pseudo-random binary sequence) 신호에 의해 위상 변조된 3 GHz, 10 GHz의 선폭을 갖는 광원을 사용하였다. 3 GHz의 선폭을 가진 신호 광원을 이용하여 순방향과 역방향 펌프 비율을 조절하며 SBS (stimulated Brillouin scattering) 특성을 분석하였다. 10 GHz의 선폭을 가진 신호 광원을 이용하여 주 증폭기의 펌핑 비율에 따른 TMI 특성을 분석하였다. 순방향 및 역방향 펌프 비율을 1.6:1로 입사시켰을 때 주 증폭기의 출력을 1 kW까지 증폭하였으며, 기울기 효율과 빔 품질(M2)은 각각 80%, 1.36으로 측정되었다.

  • A $Nd:YVO_4$ laser dual-end-pumped by a wavelength-locked 878.6 nm laser diode is presented. At the repetition rate of 500 KHz, the absorbed pump power of 58 W, an output power of 26.1 W at 1064 nm is obtained, corresponding to an optical-optical efficiency of 45%. The pulse width is 44.2 ns. Meanwhile, the effects of traditional 808 nm pumping and 878.6 nm dual-end-pumping on the output laser beam quality and pulse width are compared and analyzed in an experiment.

  • 이완발진 현상을 이용하는 단공진기 색소레이저(QDL:quenched dye laser)는 극단펄스 광원으로서 많은 장점을 갖고 있다. 본 연구에서는 파장 590nm에서 발진 스펙트럼의 최대값을 갖는 Rhodamine 6G를 레이저 매질로 하고, 파장 308nm의 XeCl 레이저를 펌핑원으로 하여, 이득의 길이가 5mm인 QDL의 이완발진에 의한 극단펄스 발생특성을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션에 의해 분석하였다. 분석결과, 펌핑광의 펄스폭에 대하여 QDL 출력빔은 1/100 이하로 그 펄스폭이 짧아짐을 밝혀 QDL 이 극단펄스 발생용으로 매우 유용한 레이저임을 밝혔으며, 펌핑광의 공간적 크기를 조절함에 의하여 출력 펄스폭의 연속적인 가변동작이 가능함을 제시하였다.

  • To realize uniform side pumping of solar lasers and improve their output power, a solar concentrating system based on off-axis parabolic mirrors is proposed. Four identical off-axis parabolic mirrors with focal length of 1,000 mm are toroidally arranged as the primary concentrator. Four two-dimensional compound parabolic concentrators (2D-CPCs) are designed as a secondary concentrator to further compress the focused spot induced by the parabolic mirrors, and the focused light is then homogenized by four rectangular diffusers and provides uniform pumping for a laser-crystal rod to achieve solar laser emission. Simulation results show that the solar power received by the laser rod, uniformity of the light spot, and output power of the solar laser are 7,872.7 W, 98%, and 351.8 W respectively. This uniform pumping configuration and concentrator design thus provide a new means for developing high-power side-pumped solid-state solar lasers.

  • 형광 스펙트럼이 Rhodamine 6G의 흡수 스펙트럼과 일치하는 Rhodamine 560을 첨가 색소로 하여 Rhodamine 6G 색소 레이저의 에너지 전달에 의한 출력 증가를 조사하였다. 펌핑 광원으로 펄스형의 경우 아르곤 기체를 주입한 동축 섬광관을 실험실에서 제작하여 사용하였으며 연속형은 아르곤 레이저를 이용하였다. 펄스형의 경우 주색소인 Rhodamine 6G의 종도가 $1\times10^{-4}mol/l$일 때 첨가 색소인 Rhodamine 560의 농도가 Rhodamine 6G농도의 1% 정도에서 에너지 전달효율이 가장 높았다. 연속형의 경우는 Rhodamine 6G의 종도가 $2\times10^{-3}mol/l$ 일 때 Rhodamine 560의 농도가 Rhodamine 6G 농도의 2.5%에서 에너지 전달효율이 가장 높았다. 아르곤 레이저의 multiline발진에 의한 출력이 3.6W일 때 18% 정도 출력이 증가하였으며 488nm와 514.5nm의 단색광으로 펌핑할 경우 아르곤 레이저의 최대 출력이 1.6W일 때 각각 72%와 88%의 출력 증가율을 보였다.

  • A novel broadband wavelength-swept Raman laser was used to implement Fourier-domain mode locked (FDML) swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). Instead of a conventional semiconductor optical amplifier, this study used broadband optical fiber Raman amplification, over 50 nm centered around 1545 nm, using a multi-wavelength optical pumping scheme, which was implemented with the four laser diodes at the center wavelengths of 1425, 1435, 1455 and 1465 nm, respectively, and the maximum operating power of 150 mW each. The operating swept frequency of the laser was determined to 16.7 kHz from the FDML condition of 12 km optical fiber in the ring cavity. The OCT images were obtained using the novel broadband wavelengthswept Raman laser source.

  • 매우 작은 이득 매질 안에 높은 농도의 레이저 이온을 도핑하여 공진기의 길이를 수 3m 이내로 대폭 축소하였으면서도 기존의 고체 레이저보다 효율적이며, 소형화된 마이크로 칩 레이저에 관한 연구는 최근 여러 연구진에 의해 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 기존의 YAG는 열 전달 계수가 크며, 역학적, 광학적, 화학적 성질이 모두 매우 우수한 레이저 매질로 평가되어왔으나 대표적인 레이저 이온인 Nd이온과 비교하여 Yttrium이온의 크기가 커서 도핑 농도를 높이는데 한계를 가지고 있다. (중략)

  • The photoisomerization of the crosslinked and uncrosslinked polymer-pair with azo linkages was studied by the photoinduced birefringence. The amount of photoinduced birefringence of crosslinked polymer system was much smaller than that of uncrosslinked polymer system, even when varying pumping laser power, so the photoisomerization of an azo chromophores could be controlled by crosslinking process.

  • -Part I- As market needs become more various, the production of smaller quantities of a wider variety of products becomes increasingly important. In addition, in order to meet demands for more efficient production, long-term unmanned factory operation is prevailing at a remarkable pace. Within this context, laser machines are gaining increasing popularity for use in applications such as cutting and welding metallic and ceramic materials. FANUC supplies four models of $CO_2$ laser oscillators with laser power ranging from 1.5㎾ to 6㎾ on an OEM basis to machine tool builders. However, FANUC has been requested to produce laser oscillators that allow more compact and lower-cost laser machines to be built. To meet such demands, FANUC has developed six models of Slab type YAG laser oscillators with output power ranging from 150W to 2㎾. These oscillators are designed mainly fur cutting and welding sheet metals. The oscillator has an exceptionally superior laser beam quality compared to conventional YAG laser oscillators, thus providing significantly improved machining capability. In addition, the laser beam of the oscillator can be efficiently transmitted through quartz optical fibers, enabling laser machines to be simplified and made more compact. This paper introduces the features of FANUC’s developed Slab type YAG laser oscillators and their applications. - Part II - All-solid-state lasers employing laser diodes (LD) as a source of pumping solid-state laser feature high efficiency, compactness, and high reliability. Thus, they are expected to provide a new generation of processing tools in various fields, especially in automobile and aircraft industries where great hopes are being placed on laser welding technology for steel plates and aluminum materials for which a significant growth in demand is expected. Also, in power plants, it is hoped that reliability and safety will be improved by using the laser welding technology. As in the above, the advent of high-power all-solid-state lasers may not only bring a great technological innovation to existing industry, but also create new industry. This is the background for this project, which has set its sights on the development of high-power, all-solid-state lasers with an average output of over 10㎾, an oscillation efficiency of over 20%, and a laser head volume of below 0.05㎥. FANUC Ltd. is responsible for the research and development of slab type lasers, and TOSHIBA Corp. far rod type lasers. By pumping slab type Nd: YAG crystal and by using quasi-continuous wave (QCW) type LD stacks, FANUC has already obtained an average output power of 1.7㎾, an optical conversion efficiency of 42%, and an electro-optical conversion efficiency of 16%. These conversion efficiencies are the best results the world has ever seen in the field of high-power all-solid-state lasers. TOSHIBA Corp. has also obtained an output power of 1.2㎾, an optical conversion efficiency of 30%, and an electro-optical conversion efficiency of 12%, by pumping the rod type Nd: YAG crystal by continuous wave (CW) type LD stacks. The laser power achieved by TOSHIBA Corp. is also a new world record in the field of rod type all-solid-state lasers. This report provides details of the above results and some information on future development plans.
