    A high power cw 337-μm HCN laser has been developed for the source of plasma diagnostics on the JIPP T-IIU tokamak. Output power of about 500 mW was obtained with a 5 m long and 59 mm inner diameter waveguide laser. By use of a HCN laser developed, a multichannel interferometer, a one-channel polarimeter, and a laser scattering system with a heterodyne detection were developed for the measurements of electron and current density profiles and electron density fluctuations.

    An angioscope-fluorescence analyzing system was inserted into an aorta under sterile conditions. The system was capable of displaying the fine image pattern of intra-vascular structure and a fluorescence spectrum simultaneously on a monitor screen. Photofrin II was administrated intravenously into ear veins of cholesteremial rabbits and they were sacrificed after 24 hours. Photofrin II fluoresces from a progressive atherosclerotic lesion, but emits no fluorescence peaks from a normal lesion by 405 nm excitation. Thus, this system is useful for early detection of atheroscleotic lesion in an aorta.

    Optimum conditions for high output power are described concerning a laser operation and a resonator for primary three colors in a coaxial type He-Cd II white light laser. Optimum discharge voltages for three-color operations are quantitatively determined by experimental data obtained from laser oscillation using for some laser tubes with the electrode dimensions designed for a white light laser. A cw white light laser with a 50-cm discharge length is accomplished under the optimum conditions for white light operation. The optimum transmission factors for three colors on the resonator are determined by simulating of laser output power. The simulation is carried out by using the experimental data of spontaneous emission light and lifetimes of the levels for white light oscillation. The results show that when most suitable mirrors are used, a 10-mW white light laser in cw oscillation can be achieved.

    Laser-produced plasma has been generated within a surmac with geometric mirrors by focusing a TEA CO2 laser beam on a cross-linked polyethylene target. The time-dependent generation process for laser-produced plasma was observed with an image converter camera. The results indicate that two groups of plasma are formed during the generation process. In the experiments on the confinement of laser-produced plasma with the surmac, a maximum plasma potential of about 30 V was formed. A potential difference between spatially separated points was observed at the same time and gradually approached the value of an ambipolar potential.

    A split-disk geometry amplifier is reported, which uses several highly doped thin phosphate glasses instead of a single thick plate in such an ordinary disk amplifier to improve cooling efficiency. A simulation code was developed for the potential extrapolation of the experimental results under more severe pumping conditions to design the specifications of electrical parameters, disk glass thickness, Nd doping rate, and pumping cavity geometry and also to evaluate the gain coefficient of the amplifier. A gain coefficient of 0.027 cm-1 calculated in active media volume of 300 cm3 with a pumping efficiency of 0.92 % at 4 kJ pump energy agrees with the experimental value within errors of less than 10 %.

    A new diode-pumped green laser has been demonstrated. A NYAB (Ndχ y1-χ Al3 (B03) 4), self-fre quency-doubling Laser crystal of type I, was pumped by a broad area laser diode. The threshold pumping power is 4.7 mW. We obtained cw green laser output up to 16 mW (0.531 μm) with a conversion efficiency of 4.4%.
