In scanning laser optical tweezers, high speed scanning stages are used to manipulate a laser beam spot. Due to the inertia of the stage, the output scanning signal decreases with increased frequency of the input signal. This discrepancy in the signals is difficult to observe since most of the energy from the laser beam is blocked out to avoid CCD damage. In this paper, we propose two methods to alleviate these problems. Firstly, frequency responses of piezo stages are measured to analyze the signal drops and the input signal is compensated accordingly. Secondly, an overlay of the scanning path is drawn on the live monitoring screen to enhance the visibility of the scanning path. The result is a drop-compensated scanning with clear path view.

The spot welds of Transformation Induced Plasticity (TRIP) steels are prone to interfacial failure and narrow welding current range. Hard microstructures in weld metal and heat affected zone arenormally considered as one of the main reason to accelerate the interfacial failure mode. There fore, detailed observation of weld microstructure for TRIP steels should be made to ensure better weld quality. However, it is difficult to characterize the microstructure, which has similar color, size, and shape using the optical or electron microscopy. The atomic force microscope (AFM) can help to analyze microstructure by using different energy levels for different surface roughness. In this study, the microstructures of resistance spot welds for AHSS are analyzed by using AFM with measuring the differences in average surface roughness. It has been possible to identify the different phases and their topographic characteristics and to study their morphology using atomic force microscopy in resistance spot weld TRIP steels. The systematic topographic study for each region of weldments confirmed the presence of different microstructures with height of 350nm for martensite, 250nm for bainite, and 150nm for ferrite, respectively.

The land surface reflectance is a key parameter influencing the climate near the surface. Therefore, it must be determined with sufficient accuracy for climate change research. In particular, the characteristics of the bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) when using earth observation system (EOS) are important for normalizing the reflected solar radiation from the earth's surface. Also, wide swath satellites like SPOT/VGT (VEGETATION) permit sufficient angular sampling, but high resolution satellites are impossible to obtain sufficient angular sampling over a pixel during short period because of their narrow swath scanning. This gives a difficulty to BRDF model based reflectance normalization of high resolution satellites. The principal objective of the study is to add BRDF modeling of high resolution satellites and to supply insufficient angular sampling through identifying BRDF components from SPOT/VGT. This study is performed as the preliminary data for apply to high-resolution satellite. The study provides surface parameters by eliminating BRD effect when calculated biophysical index of plant by BRDF model. We use semi-empirical BRDF model to identify the BRD components. This study uses SPOT/VGT satellite data acquired in the S1 (daily) data. Modeled reflectance values show a good agreement with measured reflectance values from SPOT satellite. This study analyzes BRD effect components by using the NDVI(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and the angle components such as solar zenith angle, satellite zenith angle and relative azimuth angle. Geometric scattering kernel mainly depends on the azimuth angle variation and volumetric scattering kernel is less dependent on the azimuth angle variation. Also, forest from land cover shows the wider distribution of value than cropland, overall tendency is similar. Forest shows relatively larger value of geometric term ($K_1{\cdot}f_1$) than cropland, When performed comparison between cropland and forest. Angle and NDVI value are closely related.

A Q-switched diode-pumped neodymium-doped yttrium vanadate (YVO₄, λ =1064nm) laser was used for the direct patterning of indium tin oxide (ITO) films on glass substrate. During the laser direct patterning, the laser beam was incident on the two different directions of glass substrate and the laser ablated patterns were compared and analyzed. At a low scanning speed of laser beam, the larger laser etched lines were obtained by laser beam incident in reverse side of glass substrate. On the contrary, at a higher scanning speed, the larger etched pattern sizes were found in case of the beam incidence from front side of glass substrate. Furthermore, it was impossible to find no ablated patterns in some laser beam conditions for the laser beam from reverse side at a much higher scanning speed and repetition rate of laser beam. The laser beam is expected to be transferred and scattered through the glass substrate and the laser beam energy is thought to be also dispersed and much more influenced by the overlapping of each laser beam spot.

Beta rays emitted from tritium in titanium tritide film were simulated with cathode rays of a scanning electron microscope to investigate the effect of beta rays from tritium on semiconductor devices. The cathode ray currents, which vary with the change of applied energy and beam spot size, were measured with Faraday cup. The current from the semiconductor device irradiated with cathode rays at various conditions was measured. The cathode ray current increased with the increase of spot size to a maximum then decreased when the spot sized increased further. The magnitude of current produced in the semiconductor device is proportional to the magnitude of cathode ray current. The magnitude of cathode ray current at each energy level was matched to the intensity of beta ray to simulate the tritium beta ray spectrum. Then the semiconductor characteristics were analyzed with I-V curves.

Electrospun meshed poly-caprolactone PCL was patterned by femtosecond laser with linear grooves. As parametric variables, focus spot size, pulse energy, and scanning speed were varied to determine the affects on groove size and the characteristics of the electrospun fiber at the edges of these grooves. The femtosecond laser was seen to be an effective means for flexibly structuring the surface of ES PCL scaffolds and the width of the ablated grooves was well controlled by laser energy and focus spot size. The ablation threshold was measured to be $14.9J/cm^2$ which is a little higher than other polymers. These affects were attributed to optical multiple reflections inside nano-fibers. By the laser-induced plasma at higher pulse energies, some melting of fibers was observed.

Dentin hypersensitivity must be one of the most frequent postoperative complaints in periodontal patients. Obliterating the open dentinal tubules or decreasing the diameter of their orifices would, therefore, be an objective of treatment for hypersensitive teeth. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a pulsed Nd:YAG laser irradiation on obliteration of dentinal tubules and to determine any difference according to irradiation methods. The 45 posterior teeth that had been extracted due to periodontal disease were initially treated with tetracycline HCI(100 mg/ml, 4 min.) to remove the smear layer after root planing. The root surfaces were then irradiated by a pulsed Nd:YAG laser(EL.EN.EN060, Italy) by different laser beam spot size and different exposure condition: ${\cdot}$ group 1: irradiated group by small spot(beam diameter=1mm, lW, 2 sec) ${\cdot}$ group 2: irradiated group by large spot(beam diameter=10mm, 1W, 200 sec) ${\cdot}$ group 3: irradiated group by gradual increase of watt (from 0.3W to 1.0W), beam diameter=4mm ${\cdot}$ group 4: irradiated group by fixed watt(1.0 W), beam diameter=4mm ${\cdot}$ control group: no irradiation but root planing and tetracycline HCI conditioning only. Additionally, the specimens were retreated with tetracycline HCI(100mg/ml, 4min.) to evaluate the stability of obliteration effect by Nd:YAG laser. Specimens were examined under the scanning electron microscope(JEOL, JSM-840A, Japan). Photomicrographs were taken at ${\times}4,000$ magnification and were analyzed statistically. The results were as follows: l. Scanning electron micrographs of root surface treated by tetracycline HCI alone(control group) showed widened, funnel-shaped dentinal tubules, while those of the root surface irradiated by various methods showed partially or completely obliterated dentinal tubules and various surface alterations, eg, flat, multiple pitted, melted and resolidified surface at the same energy density. 2. There was no significant difference in the obliteration effect of dentinal tubules between group 1 and group 2, and between group 3 and group 4(p>0.05). 3. The obliteration effect of dentinal tubules by a Nd:YAG laser irradiation was relatively stable to tetracycline HCI. The results demonstrate that a pulsed Nd:YAG laser irradiation within 1.0W, regardless of irradiation methods, can obliterate dentinal tubules effectively.

We have a plan to design a controller for electron beam manufacturing system. At first, we designed a controller for SEM. The controller consists of five parts (power source, beam controller, scanning controller, optic controller and main controller). Beam controller supplies pulse wave for generating high voltage and can monitor the status of high voltage instrument through emission current. Optic controller controls focus, spot size and image shift. Main controller transmits variables from operating program to each part and monitors the status of peripheral device.

Understanding of heat generation in semiconductor devices is important in the thermal management of integrated circuits and in the analysis of the device physics. Scanning thermal microscope was used to measure the temperature and the electric potential distribution on the cross-section of an operating metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). The temperature distributions were measured both in DC and AC modes in order to take account of the leakage current. The measurement results showed that as the drain bias was increased the hot spot moved to the drain. The density of the iso-potential lines near the drain increased with the increase in the drain bias.

The aim of this paper is to design a 3D laser radar prototype based on laser triangulation. The mathematical model of distance sensitivity is deduced; a pixel-distance conversion formula is discussed and used to complete 3D scanning. The center position extraction algorithm of the spot is proposed, and the error of the linear laser, camera distortion and installation are corrected by using the proposed weighted average algorithm. Finally, the three-dimensional analytic computational algorithm is given to transform the measured distance into point cloud data. The experimental results show that this 3D laser radar can accomplish the 3D object scanning and the environment 3D reconstruction task. In addition, the experiment result proves that the product of the camera focal length and the baseline length is the key factor to influence measurement accuracy.
