A tunable pulsed dye laser was operated in a single longitudinal mode by injection locking with a cw ring dye laser. A doubled Nd:YAG laser was used as the pumping source. Phase sensitive detection technique was applied to maintain the required match between the master laser frequency and the slave resonator cavity length. The fluctuation of the center frequency of the pulsed laser was < 10 MHz, and the pulse duration (FWHM) was 6 ns. The linewidth measured by scanning confocal interferometer was 130 MHz. When pumped by 50 mJ of the doubled Nd:YAG laser, the output energy of the pulsed dye laser was 2 mJ and the peak power was 330 kW. 30 kW.

Amplified pulsed laser beam with narrow linewidth was generated from CW laser beam with narrow linewidth by using frequency doubled Nd:YAG laser beam and Bethune cell. The degree of the frequency chirping of the amplified pulse laser was measured by using the heterodyne method and obtained by calculating instantaneous phase change from heterodyne beating signals. The frequency chirping of amplified pulsed laser beam from CW laser beam with sub-MHz linewidth by 10 ns pulse was 80 MHz so that pulsed laser beam with very narrow linewidth was obtained.

The laser surface modification has been reported for its functional applications for improving tribological performance, wear resistance, hardness, and corrosion property. In most of these applications, continuous wave lasers and pulsed lasers were used for surface melting, cladding, alloying. Since flexibility in processing, refinement of microstructure and controlling the surface properties, technology utilizing lasers has been used in a number of fields. Especially, femtosecond laser has great benefits compared with other lasers because its pulsed width is much shorter than characteristic time of thermal diffusion, which leads to diminish heat affected zone. Moreover, laser surface engineering has been highlighted as an effective tool for micro/nano structuring of materials in the bio application field. In this study, we applied femtosecond and nanosecond pulsed laser to treat biometals, such as Mg, Mg alloy, and NiTi alloy, by heating to improve corrosion properties and functionalize their surface controlling cell response as implantable biomedical devices.

Until now, many researches on laser-arc hybrid welding processes have been conducted mainly for high power CW laser and high direct current arc to weld the thick steel plates for shipbuilding. Recently, however the usage of thin steel plates, which tend to be deformed easily by thermal energy, is been increasing because of demand of light structure such as car body in the automobile industry. Accordingly, heat sources having relatively low heat input such as pulsed laser, dip-transfer DC GMA and pulsed GMA seem to be applied more increasingly and the study about those heat sources is needed more intensively. Any heat source mentioned above can not stand alone without weld defects at a relatively high welding speed for increasing the welding productivity. This is main reason to apply the hybrid welding process which uses pulsed laser and low-heat-input GMA heat sources simultaneously to weld the thin steel plate. In this study, parameters of pulsed laser and dip-transfer DC GMA welding are studied firstly through preliminary experiments, and then analyzed in the viewpoint of their physical phenomena. Before conducting the hybrid welding, a pulse control technique is developed based on the parallel port communication and Visual C++ 6.0. Owing to development of this technique, interactions of laser and arc pulses can be controlled consistently. Using the pulse control technique, the hybrid welding is conducted and then its interactive welding phenomenon is analyzed.

Laser beam weldability of zircaloy-4was investigated using a pulsed Nd: YAG laser of 200W average power. Mechanical properties of laser and GTA bead-on-plate welded zircaloy-4 test specimens were compared. The influence of plasma generated during laser welding was analyzed and optimum laser welding parameters were investigated.

Recently the preparation magnetic nanoparticles by a pulsed laser ablation in liquid has gained much attention because it is easy to control experimental parameters. Iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles have been prepared by a pulsed laser ablation of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ target in ethanol at different magnitude of laser energy of 1, 20, 40 and 80 mJ/pulse. It revealed that particle size increases with increasing laser energy. It could be concluded that 40 mJ/pulse is an optimum laser energy for the preparation of iron oxide nanoparticles with uniform size distribution. The nanoparticles are homogeneously dispersed in ethanol and their stability maintained for several months.

Pulsed Nd : YAG LASER has been applied to various fields in clinical dentistry including the treatment of peri-implantitis. However, LASER can affect properties of matter of dental implants which are important to maintaining the health of peri-implant tissue and can raise its temperature during lasing. So there have been warings of using LASER to treat peri-implantitis. But, the effects of laser on dental implants itself are not certain yet. So we measured the temperature rising, examined matter of properties by SEM and EDX before and after pulsed Nd : YAG lasing various intensity. 7 TPS implants and 7 HPS implants were used and pulsed Nd : YAG LASER was used in 0.3W, 1.0W, and 2.0W. 1. 2.0W LASER made polished neck portion of HPS implants reach $39.2^{\circ}C$ after 5 seconds lasing. 2. LASER made crater-like defects on plasma sprayed surface and surfaces were melted and divided by fragments after lasing. 3. There was no specific evidence of element change after lasing.

Laser-induced plume and laser-target interaction during pulsed laser deposition are demonstrated for a lead zirconate titanate (PZT). A KrF excimer laser (wavelength 248nm) was used and the laser was pulsed at 20Hz, with nominal pulse width of 20ns. The laser fluence was~$16J/cm^2,$ with 100mJ per pulse. The laser-induced plasma plume for nanosecond laser irradiation on PZT target has been investigated by optical emission spectra using an optical multichannel analyzer(OMA) and by direct observation of the plume using an ICCD high speed photography. OMA analysis showed two distinct ionic species with different expansion velocities of fast or slow according to their ionization states. The ion velocity of the front surface of the developing plume was about $10^7$cm/sec and corresponding kinetic energy was about 100eV. ICCD photograph showed another kind of even slower moving particles ejected from the target. These particles considered expelled molten parts of the target. SEM morphologies of the laser irradiated targets showed drastic melting and material removal by the laser pulse, and also showed the evidence of the molten particle ejection. The physics of the plasma(plume) formation and particle ejection has been discussed.

Silicon nanocrystalline thin films on p-type (100) silicon substrate have been fabricated by pulsed laser deposition technique using a Nd:YAG laser with the wavelength of 355, 532, and 1064 nm. The base vacuum in the chamber was down to $10^-6$ Torr and the laser energy densities were 1.0~3.0 J/$\textrm{cm}^2$ After deposition, silicon nanocrystalline thin films have been annealed at nitrogen gas. Strong Blue and green luminescence from silicon nanocrystalline thin films have been observed at room temperature by photoluminescence and its peak energies shift to green when the wavelength is increased from 355 to 1064 nm.
