In this study, a compact, picosecond, mid-infrared 3.8 ㎛ MgO:PPLN optical parametric oscillator (OPO) laser output with high peak power is realized using a master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) 1 ㎛ solid-state laser seeded by a picosecond fiber laser as the pump source. The pump source was a 50 MHz and 10 ps fiber seed source. After AOM pulse selection and two-stage solid-state amplification, a 1,064 nm laser output with a repetition frequency of 1-2 MHz, pulse width of 9.5 ps, and a maximum average power of 20 W was achieved. Furthermore, a compact short cavity with a unsynchronized pump is adopted through the design of an OPO cavity structure. When the injection pump power was 15 W and the repetition frequency was 1 MHz, the average output power of idler light was 1.19 W, and the corresponding peak power was 119 kW. The optical conversion efficiency was 7.93%. When the repetition frequency was increased to 2 MHz, the average output power of idler light was 1.63 W, the corresponding peak power was 81.5 kW, and the optical conversion efficiency was 10.87%. At the same time, the output wavelength was measured at 3,806 nm, and the beam quality was MX2 = 3.21 and MY2 = 3.34.

본 논문에서는 Nakagami 페이딩 채널 특성의 이동 통신 환경에서 정보 데이터를 PN 시퀀스로 대역 확산시켜 BPSK 변조를 취한 CDMA 시스템에 MRC 다이버시티와 반복 전송(다수결 선택)이나 부호화 기법을 다양하게 결합하였을 때의 블록 오율 성능 향상에 대하여 분석한다. 분석 결과로써, 부호화는 다이버시티 기법보다 더 효과적인 성능 향상을 보였다. 그러나 부호화는 더 넓은 주파수 대역을 필요로 하게 된다. 또한 MRC 다이버시티와 부호화 기법을 결합하였을 때 성능 개선이 크게 향상되었다.

We introduce pulsed $CO_2$ laser power supply excited by half-wave rectified 60Hz AC discharge some advantage of cost and size compared to a typical pulsed power supply. AC frequency is adjusted from 10Hz to 60Hz to control laser output. In this laser, a low voltage open loop control for high voltage AC discharge circuits is employed to avoid the HV sampling or switching. The control is achieved by using a ZCS circuit and a PIC one-chip microprocessor that control the gate signal of SCR precisely. The pulse repetition rate is limited by 60Hz due to a high leakage inductance. The maximum laser output was obtained about 20W at the condition of total pressure, 18Torr and pulse repetition rate,60Hz.

We report a passive Q-switching of an all-fiber erbium-doped fiber laser delivering high pulse energy by using a high quality single-walled carbon nanotube saturable absorber (SWCNT-SA). A side-polished fiber coated with the SWCNT is employed as an in-line SA for evanescent wave interaction between the incident light and the SWCNT. This lateral interaction scheme enables a stable Q-switched fiber laser that generates high pulse energy. The central wavelength of the Q-switched pulse laser was measured as 1560 nm. A repetition rate frequency of the Q-switched laser is controlled from 78 kHz to 190 kHz by adjusting the applied pump power from 124 mW to 790 mW. The variation of pulse energy from 51 nJ to 270 nJ is also observed as increasing the pump power. The pulse energy of 270 nJ achieved at maximum pump power is 3 times larger than those reported in Q-switched all-fiber lasers using a SWCNT-SA. The tunable behaviors in pulse duration, pulse repetition rate, and pulse energy as a function of pump power are reported, and are well matched with theoretical expectation.

We demonstrate a simple pulsed $CO_2$ laser with millisecond long pulse duration in a tube at a low pressure of less than 30 Torr. The novel power supply for our laser system switches the voltage of the AC power line (60Hz) directly. The power supply doesn't need elements such as a rectifier bridge, energy-storage capacitors, or a current-limiting resistor in the discharge circuit. To control the laser output power, the pulse repetition rate is adjusted up to 60Hz and the firing angle of SCR(Silicon Controlled Rectifier) gate is varied from 30。 to 150。. A ZCS (Zero Crossing Switch) circuit and a PIC one-chip microprocessor are used to control precisely the gate signal of the SCR. The maximum laser output of 35 W is obtained at a total pressure of 18 Torr, a pulse repetition rate of 60 Hz, and a SCR gate firing angle of 90。 . In addition, the resulting laser pulse width is approximately 3㎳(FWHM). This is a relatively long pulse width, compared with other repetitively pulsed $CO_2$ lasers.

The application of a pulsed power system is being extended to a environmental and industrial fields. The non-dissolution waste water pollutants from industrial plants can be processed by applying high voltage pulses with a fast rising time (a few nanoseconds) and short duration (nano to microseconds) in a pulsed corona discharge reactor. The nano-pulse generator with a magnetic switch has been developed. Its corona current in load can be adjusted by pulse width and repetition rate. we investigated the performance of the nano-pulse generator using the dummy load which is composed of resistor and capacitor equivalent to the actual reactor. This paper descibes the electrical characteristics of the nano-pulse generator that produces a 300 ns pulse at maximum repetition rate of 400 pps with a voltage of 40 kV across a $640{\Omega}$ load. In this paper we briefly discuss a configuration of system and test results.

The heat distribution in crystals in a 2-㎛ acousto-optic Q-switched Tm:LuAG laser pumped by pulsed-laser-diode (pulsed-LD) intermittent-pumping technology was analyzed using COMSOL software. The thermal lensing effect of the Tm:LuAG crystal can be mitigated by pulsed-LD intermittent-pumping techniques. An experimental setup using this kind of approach achieved maximum output energy of 8.31 mJ, minimum pulse width of 101.9 ns, and highest peak power of 81.55 kW, reached at a Q-switched repetition rate of 200 Hz. It offers significant improvement of performance of the output laser beam, compared to pulsed-LD double-ended pumping technology at the same repetition rate.

We demonstrate a simple CO2 laser by controlling firing angle of a TRIAC switch in ac power line. The power supply for our laser system switches the voltage of the AC power line (60Hz) directly. The power supply does not need elements such as a rectifier bridge, energy-storage capacitors, or a current-limiting resistor in the discharge circuit. In order to control the laser output power, the pulse repetition rate is adjusted up to 60Hz and the firing angle of TRIAC gate is varied from 45 to 135. A ZCS(Zero Crossing Switch) circuit and a PIC one-chip microprocessor are used to control the gate signal of the TRIAC precisely. The maximum laser output of 40W is obtained at a total pressure of 18Torr, a pulse repetition rate of 60Hz, and a TRAIC gate firing angle of 90.

레이저 다이오드 뒷면 여기 방식을 이용한 Nd: YAG 레이저를 제작하고, 뒷면 여기 방식을 이용하였을 때, 들뜸 효율을 측정하였다. 포화 흡수체로 $Cr^{4+}$:YAG를 레이저 공진기 내부에 설치하여 수동형 Q-switching을 수행하였고, 그 때, 평균 출력, 펄스폭 및 반복율 특성등을 조사하였다. 수동형 Q-switching된 레이저의 펄스폭 및 반복율은 평균 출력 및 $Cr^{4+}$:YAG 결정의 낮은 강도 투과율(low intensity trasmission)에 따라 변화하였으며, 평균 출력은 최고 1 W, 펄스폭은 최저 51 nsec 까지 얻을 수 있었고 최고 약 40kHz의 고반복율로 동작하는 것을 관찰하였다.

본 논문에선 Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar(InSAR) 고도계의 측정값인 거리와 도래각(Angle of Arrival: AOA)을 실제 수치 표고 자료(Degital Elevation Model: DEM)상에서 모의실험하여 얻었다. 이 때 거리 측정값을 얻기 위해서 필요한 원시 데이터 및 압축 데이터의 결과도 나타냈다. 도래각은 안테나 간의 위상 차이로부터 Deterministic Maximum Likelihood Estimator(DMLE)를 사용하여 구했다. 거리 빈(range bin)의 크기와 펄스 반복 주기(PRI: Pulse Repetition Interval)가 실제 수치 표고 자료의 셀 크기에 비해 작기 때문에 모의실험에 적합하지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 선형 보간법을 이용하여 해상도가 높은 수치 표고 자료를 생성하여 모의실험하였다. 서론 부분에서 InSAR 고도계를 소개하였고, 고도와 각도를 구하는 방법에 대해서 설명하였으며, 모의실험 부분에서 위에 소개된 방법의 성능을 보였다.
