We demonstrate a pulsed CO$_2$laser with long pulse duration of millisecond order in the low pressure less than 30 Torr. A new power supply for our laser system switches the voltage of AC power line(60㎐) directly. The power supply doesn't need elements such as a rectified bridge, energy-storage capacitors. and a current-limiting resistor in the discharge circuit. In order to control the laser output power, the pulse repetition rate is adjusted up to 60㎐ and the firing angle of SCR gate is varied from 30˚ to 150˚. A ZCS(Zero Crossing Switch) circuit and a PIC one-chip microprocessor are used to control the gate signal of SCR precisely. The maximum laser output is 23W at the total pressure of 18 Torr, the pulse repetition rate of 60㎐, and SCR gate firing angle of 90˚. In addition, the obtained laser pulse width is approximately 3㎳(FWHM)

In this paper, using the value theoretically calculated to emit multidirectionally a beam coming into an optical fiber with diameter of $125{\mu}m$, we modeled and produced a cone-shaped structure at the distal end of the fiber. A numerical simulation was performed for an optical fiber tip in which all incident beams were totally reflected and emitted toward the side, as well as for an optical fiber tip from which the beams could be emitted forward and sideways simultaneously. We produced multidirectional-firing optical fiber tips based on the simulation result and model. Laser fabrication of the optical fiber was done by processing a cone-shaped structure at the distal end of an optical fiber with diameter of $125{\mu}m$ using a femtosecond pulsed laser and polishing the processed surface with a $CO_2$ laser. We also conducted an analysis to compare experimental and simulation results.

We have fabricated nanodot arrays by using phase separated (PS- b- PMMA) diblock copolymer film and anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane as templates with hexagonal arrays of cylindrical microdomains perpendicular to the substrate. Pulsed laser deposition technique was used to deposit various kinds of materials including Ag, Ni, ZnO, Si:Er, and Co/Pt onto Si substrates. The size and separation of nanodots correspond to those of the templates used, The density of nanodots was estimated to be $6{\times}10^{11}/cm^2$ and $1{\times}10^{10}/cm^2$ when the diblock copolymer and AAO were used, respectively. In particular, the optical properties of ZnO and Si: Er nanodot arrays were investigated and the strong photoluminescence at 380 nm and $1.54{\mu}m$ was observed from ZnO and Si:Er nanodot arrays, respectively.

Our $CO_2$ sensor is based on an electrochemical reaction involving NASICON, Ba-Stabilized $Na_2CO_3$, two Pt electrodes, $O_2$, and $CO_2$.. NASICON thin films were deposited by pulsed laser deposition(PLD). The sensitive electrode made of Ba-stabilized sodium carbonate was magnetron sputtered. An emf between two Pt electrodes was proportional to the logarism of the concentration of $CO_2$ in the ambient. This sensor has a sensitivity of 3.82mV/decade and does not show any saturation for $CO_2$ concentration as high as 200,000 ppm.

Recently, conservative and bloodless operative procedures have been focused, so that endoscopic laser have been used. However application of endoscopic laser surgery for laryngeal lesion is capable for followings: (1)capability of delivery through an operating microscope, (2) vaporization of ultraspot. $CO_2$ laser which has been used, has limitations for voice improvement because of 700 micron beam spot. KTP-532 laser which is capable of delivery through an operating microscope vapore 200 micron ultraspot has developed and applied to microlaryngeal surgery. We have experienced 60 cases who were contracted with hoarseness(53 cases of benign lesions vocal nodule 13, vocal polyp 13, bilateral diffuse polyposis of vocal cords 11, intracordal cyst 8, vocal papilloma 5, laryngocele 1, laryngeal stenosis 2 and 7 cases of malignant lesions : laryngeal carcinoma stage I and II) since 1991. We operated them with KTP-532 Laserscope(3 Watt/0.05 sec., pulsed or continuous. San Jose, Calif, USA). Forty eigh cases(90.6%) of 53 bengin laryngeal lesions and 4 cases(57.1%) of malignant lesions were significantly improved in their voices. There were a few complications and technical problems, but laser surgery alone had a limitation to eradicate the disease.

$La_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CoO_3$ (LSCO) electrode thin films with a resistivity of ~ 1,600 ${\mu}{\Omega}cm$ were grown on c-$Al_2O_3$ (0001) substrate. $ZnSnO_3$ (ZTO) thin films with different thicknesses were directly grown on LSCO/c-$Al_2O_3$ (0001) substrates at a substrate temperature that ranged from 550 to $750^{\circ}C$ using Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD). The secondary phase $Zn_2SnO_4$ occurred during the growth of ZTO films and it became more significant with further increasing substrate temperature. Polarization-electric-field (P-E) hysteresis characteristics, with a remnant polarization and coercive field of 0.05 ${\mu}C/cm^2$ and 48 kV/cm, respectively, were obtained in the ZTO film grown at $700^{\circ}C$ in 200 mTorr.

In manufacturing processes, various and suitable pulse shapes are required for the purpose of material processing and the pulseshape is regarded as a dominant factor due to the specific property of processing materials. Therefore, in this study, a variable pulse width, high duty cycle Pulse Forming Network(PFN) is constructed by time sequently. The power supply for this experiment consists of three switching circuits. The PFN elements operate at low voltage and drive the primary of HV leakage transformer. The secondary of the transformer has a full-wave rectifier, which passes the pulse energy to the load in a continuous sequence of properly phased and nested increments. We investigated laser pulse width as various delay time among three switching circuit. As a result, we tan obtain various laser pulse width from about 4ms to 10ms. The maximum laser pulse width obtained at this experiment was about 10ms at delay time of 4ms among each switching circuit.

가공용 레이저로는 $CO_2$, 루비, Nd:YAG, 아르곤 이온 레이저 등이 이용되고 있으며, 이중 펄스형 Nd:YAG 레이저는 $CO_2$ 레이저와 함께 레이저 가공에 널리 사용되는 고체 레이저로서 마킹(making), 트리밍(trimming), 리페어링(repairing) 등의 정밀 가공 분야에서 많은 실용화가 이루어져 왔다.$^{(1)}$ $CO_2$ 레이저의 경우 매질가스로 $CO_2$, $N_2$, He 등을 사용해야하므로 취급 및 유지보수가 불편하지만, 열전도율이 높고, 기계적 광학적으로 안정된 Nd:YAG 레이저는 램프에 의한 광 여기 방식이므로 유지보수가 쉽다. 또한 광 출력의 제어가 용이하며, 광파이버에 의한 빔 전송이 가능하여 산업기술 및 의료 분야에서의 적용이 더욱 더 확대되고 있다.$^{(2)}$ (중략)

최근에 100Hz 이하의 펄스 반복율을 가지는 20 W급 출력의 의료용 및 마킹용 펄스 $CO_2$레이저의 수요가 증가함에 따라 유지와 보수의 편리성은 물론 사용자의 편의성을 충족시키기 위한 레이저 전원장치의 소형화, 출력 제어의 용이성 및 저가격화 등에 대한 요구가 증대되고 있다. 기존의 펄스형 $CO_2$레이저의 전원장치는 원하는 펄스 반복율에 맞도록 스위칭 소자를 "on"-"off"하여 콘덴서에 충전된 에너지를 고압 펄스 트랜스를 통해서 레이저 방전관에 인가하는 방식이다. 즉 DC를 스위칭 과정을 통해 펄스 에너지로 변환시킨 후 방전관에 그 펄스에너지를 공급하는 형태이다$^{(1)}$ .

We report the electronic structure of CoFeO-R (R=Hf, La, Nb) thin films studied by x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). These ferrites thin films were prepared by pulsed laser deposition method and characterized by XAS measurements at O K-, Co and Fe L-edges. The O K-edge spectra suggest that there is a strong hybridization between O 2p and 3d electrons of transition metal cations and Fe $L_{3,2}$-edge spectra indicate that Fe-ions exist in $Fe^{2+}$ with tetrahedral site of the spinel structure. Divalent Co ions is also distributed in tetrahedral site with rare earth ions goes to octahedral sites of spinel structure. X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) is also used to explain the symmetry and magnetic nature dependence on rare-earth ions.
