    Fine powdered Mo and MoS2 were synthesized in vapor phase reactions by a TEA-CO2laser-induced breakdown technique. Molybdenum particles were prepared from Mo (CO)6; molybdenum sulfide particles were prepared from a mixture of Mo (CO)6 and CS2. The particulatem aterials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, ICP ctomic emission spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The particles are monodispersed, neafly sphedcal, and 0.05-0.4μm indiameter. An X-ray diffraction study indicates that the Mo particle is crystalline and MoS2particle is amorphous. The yield of the Mo particle increased linearly with increasing laser pulseenergy.

    The fluorescence properties of the Ho3+5I65I7 transition in Yb3+-Ho3+codoped aluminozircofluoride glasses were investigated. The emission wavelength of Ho3+ (5I6→→5I7) at 2.84 μm is almost the same as the vibration oscillation absorption of hydroxyl (OH-1) at 2.89 μm. The emission intensity of Ho3+(5I6→→5I7) transition in Yb3+-Ho3+codopedaluminozirco-fluoride glass is 4.5 times higher than commercial 2.7μm Er3+laser glass. As thelifetime of 5I7 level is longer than 5I6 level, the Nd3+, Eu3+, Pr3+, Sm3+ and Tb3+ were investigatedas deactivator for decreasing the lifetime of 5I7 level. Eu3+and Tb3+ are good candidates for deactivator because they have energy levels which are close to the Ho3+5I7 level todecrease the population of Ho3+5I7 level by energy transfer and have not energy levels whichare close to the Ho3+5I6 level or Yb3+2F5/2 level.

    For obtaining shorter wavelength laser glass without using nonlinear optical crystal, The fluorescence properties of Eu3+ were investigated in various glasses. The Eu3+ dopedborosilico-phosphate glass has the highest emission intensity of 5D0→→7F2 transition comparedwith other glasses, because it can be doped with high concentration of Eu3+. The energy transferand energy backtransfer in Eu3+ -Sm3+ doped borosilico-phosphate glasses were also investigated. The energy transfer from Sm3+ to Eu3+ is very efficient and the energy backtransferfrom Eu3+ to Sm3+ is low. The Eu3+ -Sm3+ doped borosilico-phosphate glass has a verystrong emission in visible range (0.61μm) for the 5D0→→7F2 (Eu3+) transition. The emission intensityis about the same as Nd3+ doped phosphate glass (LHG8) at 1.06μm.

    A high speed operation of a multidither adaptive optical system (MAOS) with a ninesegmented adaptive mirror and real-time compensation of dynamic phase fluctuation has beendemonstrated. Experimental results are as follows: (1) A high speed operation of MAOS withan indicial response time of 55 ms has been achieved with a new type of wavefront controlmethod by using the saturation characteristics of a photo-detector (2) Dynamic CO2-laserwavefront distortion with a spot dancing of 47 μrad (rms), induced by two gas burners, hasbeen compensated in real time by the high-speed operation of the control system. The laserbeam was then converged within a nearly diffraction limit, improving the laser peak intensity by afactor of 2.8 with a Strehl Ratio of 0.8. A frequency spectrum measurement of the detectorsignal also confirmed that the turbulence spectrum component was automatically suppressed.

    We intended to develop a distance-measuring instrument with accuracy of ±0.3 mm atseveral meter range, using an amplitude-modulated diode laser light as a carrier light beam and a heterodyne phase comparating system. With this setup we studied error factors which influence the accuracy of the phase measurement. The study essentially aimes (i) to ensure asufficient signal-to-noise ratio for received signals, (ii) to take care of input levels of mixer circuits, (iii) to ensure a rigorous symmetry about a beam splitter for two optical paths, and (iv) to ensure a symmetry for two radio-frequency signal circuits. Results are satisfactory.
