Ti-based coatings following laser ablation were studied to compare degradation behaviors by thermomechanical stress. TiN, TiCN, and TiAlN coatings were degraded by a Nd:YAG pulsed laser with an increase in the laser pulses. A decrease in the hardness was identified as the pulses increased, and the hardness levels were in the order of TiAlN > TiCN > TiN. The TiN showed cracks on the surface, and cracks with pores formed along the cracks were observed in the TiCN. The dominant degradation behavior of the TiAlN was surface pore formation. EDS results revealed that diffusion of substrate atoms to the coating surface occurred in the TiN. Delamination occurred in the TiN and TiCN, while the TiAlN which has higher thermal stability than the TiN and TiCN maintained adhesion to the substrate. It was considered that the decrease in the hardness of the Ti-based hard coatings is attributed to surface cracking and the diffusion of substrate atoms.

A 49 years old male patient was referred from the Department of Medicine, KNUH for the management of painful oral lesions. The patient had disability of food and drug intake due to multiple intraoral ulcers. Extraoral findings showed upper and lower lip swelling, crust formation on the lips. The lesions were diagnosed as Stevens-Johnson syndrome based on clinical and hematologic findings. The patient was treated with saline irrigation and pulsed Nd:YAG laser irradiation. After 5 daily treatment, the lesions decreased in size and severity, and the patient became more comfortable for food intake and speeching. It was suggested from the results of this clinical trial that a pulsed Nd:YAG laser therapy would be helpful for the symptoms associated with Stevens-Johnson syndrome.

Low-cost, high efficiency solar cells are tremendous interests for the realization of a renewable and clean energy source. ZnTe based solar cells have a possibility of high efficiency with formation of an intermediated energy band structure by impurity doping. In this work, ZnO/ZnTe:Cr and ZnO/i-ZnTe structures were fabricated by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique. A pulsed (10 Hz) Nd:YAG laser operating at a wavelength of 266 nm was used to produce a plasma plume from an ablated a ZnTe target, whose density of laser energy was 10 J/cm2. The base pressure of the chamber was kept at approximately $4{\times}10-7Torr$. ZnTe:Cr and i-ZnTe thin films with thickness of 210 nm were grown on p-Si substrate, respectively, and then ZnO thin films with thickness of 150 nm were grown on ZnTe:Cr layer under oxygen partial pressure of 3 mTorr. Growth temperature of all the films was set to $250^{\circ}C$. For fabricating ZnO/i-ZnTe and ZnO/ZnTe:Cr solar cells, indium metal and Ti/Au grid patterns were deposited on back and front side of the solar cells by using thermal evaporator, respectively. From the fabricated ZnO/ZnTe:Cr and ZnO/i-ZnTe solar cell, dark currents were measured by using Keithley 2600. Solar cell parameters were obtained under Air Mass 1.5 Global solar simulator with an irradiation intensity of 100 mW/cm2, and then the photoelectric conversion efficiency values of ZnO/ZnTe:Cr and ZnO/i-ZnTe solar cells were measured at 1.5 % and 0.3 %, respectively.

Low-cost, high efficiency solar cells are tremendous interests for the realization of a renewable and clean energy source. ZnTe based solar cells have a possibility of high efficiency with formation of an intermediated energy band structure by impurity doping. In this work, the ZnTe:O/CdS/ZnO structure was fabricated by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique. A pulsed (10 Hz) Nd:YAG laser operating at a wavelength of 266 nm was used to produce a plasma plume from an ablated a ZnTe target, whose density of laser energy was 4.5 J/cm2. The base pressure of the chamber was kept at a pressure of approximately $4{\times}10-7Torr$. ZnO thin film with thickness of 100 nm was grown on to ITO/glass, and then CdS and ZnTe:O thin film were grown on ZnO thin film. Thickness of CdS and ZnTe:O were 50 nm and 500 nm, respectively. During deposition of ZnTe:O films, O2 gas was introduced from 1 to 20 mTorr. For fabricating ZnTe:O/CdS/ZnO solar cells, Au metal was deposited on the ITO film and ZnTe:O by thermal evaporation method. From the fabricated ZnTe:O/CdS/ZnO solar cell, current-voltage characteristics was measured by using HP 4156-a semiconductor parameter analyzer. Finally, solar cell performance was measured using an Air Mass 1.5 Global (AM 1.5 G) solar simulator with an irradiation intensity of 100 mW cm-2.

본 연구에서는 개념적으로 기생 발진을 비롯한 증폭기의 오동작 가능성을 최소화하고 좁은 선폭의 연속파 레이저를 펄스 증폭하기 위한 목적으로 새로운 구조를 갖는 사중경로 색소 레이저 증폭기를 제안하고 실험적으로 구현하였다. 펌핑 레이저의 펄스 에너지가 5.6 mJ이고 연속파 레이저의 입력 강도 100 mW일 때, 사중경로 증폭기는 약 130 MHz(FWHM)의 선폭과 1.5 mJ의 에너지를 갖는 레이저 펄스를 출력하였으며, 이는 약 2$\times$106 이상의 높은 증폭 이득과 27%의 에너지 효율에 해당하는 것이다. 사중경로 증폭기 내에 회절격자를 사용하면, 파장 선택 소자가 없는 보통의 증폭기와 비교할 때 총 출력 에너지가 4% 정도 증가됨과 동시에 ASE가 차지하는 비율이 10배 이상 감소하여, 총 출력 빔에 대해 ASE 에너지가 1.5% 이하로 억제된다.

ND-YAG 펄스 레이저를 사용하여 밀폐 반응기에서 가스상 $Ge(CH_3)_4$ (tetramethyl germanium, TMG)을 광분해하여 Ge (germanium) 나노입자를 합성하는 새로운 합성법을 개발하였다. 나노입자의 크기는 간단히 충돌이완가스를 사용하여 5-100 nm로 조절할 수 있었다. $Ge_{1-x}Si_x$ 합금 나노입자는 TMG와 $Si(CH_3)_4$ (tetramethyl silicon, TMS) 혼합가스를 광분해하여 합성하였으며, 이때 반응기 안의 가스 혼합비율에 따라 나노입자의 조성을 조절할 수 있었다. 합성된 나노입자는 얇은 탄소층(1-2 nm) 에 싸여있고, 안정한 콜로이드 용액형태로 잘 분산되어 있다. 합성된 Ge 나노입자와 Ge-RGO (reduced graphene oxide) 하이브리드 구조체 모두 리튬이온전지 특성이 50 사이클 이후 각각 800, 1,100 mAh/g의 높은 방전용량을 갖는 것을 확인하였고, 이 방법은 이전의 Ge 나노입자 합성법과 비교하여 높은 수득률, 우수한 재현성, 성분조절의 용이 하므로, 고성능 리튬 전지의 개발을 위한 음극소재로 기대된다. 이와 같은 Ge 나노입자의 새로운 대량 합성법은 고성능 에너지 변환 소재 실용화에 기여할 것으로 예상된다.

기존의 레이저통신용 스위칭 방식은 변압기 2차측에 정류부 및 평활용 콘덴서가 필수적으로 포함되어 있으며, 이렇게 얻어진 직류전압의 후단부를 스위칭 하게 되므로 시스템장치가 복잡하다. 또한 스위칭에 의한 손실이 크고, 펄스반복율(pulse repetition rate)이 증가할수록 콘덴서에 저장된 에너지가 램프로 충분히 전달되지 못하여 레이저 출력 효율이 저감되는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 스위칭에 의한 손실을 줄여 레이저의 출력 효율을 개선하고자 교류전압의 영점(ZERO)을 ZCC(zero cross control)방식으로 검출하여 변압기 2차측 교류전압의 영점에서 SCR을 턴-온(turn-on)시키는 레이저 시스템을 설계 및 제작하였다. 그 결과 기존의 평활용 콘덴서와 정류부를 사용한 레이저 시스템보다 펄스반복울이 10[pps]씩 증가할수록 레이저 출력 효율 약 3.5$\%$씩 증가하여 60pps에서는 약 25$\%$까지 상승하였다.

Insulators contaminated by salt particles may cause flashovers in humid climate or light rain. Therefore, the quantity of salt on insulators should be monitored not to exceed a critical value. We propose a new remote sensing technique to measure the quantity of salt on insulators of power systems. The amount of the salt is measured from the intensity of the spontaneous emission from the sodium atoms. In this paper, a compact remote on-line salt-meter composed of Q Switch pulsed Nd:YAG laser and emission signal detection system will be introduced. And as the first result of this study, the operating characteristics of our developing laser system is also introduced.

In this project, we have developed the eye-safe LRF system of 1.54 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ wavelength using OPO. The maximum measured distance was 3.7km in outdoor experiment. We used Nd：YAG (1064nm) as a laser medium. It was applied BBO to construct the system. We also developed a time-counter for the range finder using a method of TOF (time of flight). The counter-clock used at the time counter was 320MHz making resolution within $\pm$1m. Start and stop signals were detected by two channel systems using PIN and APD. The LRF's repetition rate was 4 times per minute. The energy was measured to be over 9mJ. And, pulse-duration was 23ns. Resolution was $\pm$2m at the distance measurement using a target.

Taguchi methods have been used for a long time to improve the product quality and process performance of a manufacturing system, Few researchers have applied this methodology in laser beam cutting (LBC) of sheet metals and found the considerable improvement in cut qualities. In all experimental investigations of LBC so far, the objective was to optimize the single quality characteristic at a time. In this paper the simultaneous optimization of multiple quality characteristics such as Kerf width and material removal rate (MRR) during pulsed Nd:YAG LBC of thin sheet of magnetic material (high Silicon-steel) has been presented using Taguchi's quality loss function. The results show the considerable improvement in multiple S/N ratio as compared to initial cutting condition. Also, the comparison of results from single and multi-objective optimization have been presented and it was found that the loss in quality is always possible shifting from single quality to multiple quality optimization.
