The purpose of this study was to summarize our experiences in clinical application of Nd:YAG, Ho:YAG and Er:YAG
in otolaryngology- head and neck surgery. Choosing the laser type and parameters for the particular procedures was
based on our previous research on tissue effects of those lasers. During the period of 1993-2006 we performed 3988
surgical procedures with the Nd:YAG laser. Over 87% of those were made for the nasal cavity pathologies as polyps,
hyperplasia of inferior nasal turbinate, granulation tissue, postoperative adhesions, vascular malformations, under the
local anesthesia conditions. In our experience Nd:YAG laser gives the possibility of good clinical control and low risk of
side effects for disorders of high recurrence and frequent interventions necessity, as nasal polyps or respiratory
papillomatosis. Nd:YAG assisted uvulopalatoplasty gives an interesting alternative for surgical procedures for snoring
and slight/mild OSA-recognized patients. Due to its good hemostatic properties, it is a perfect tool for removal of the
chemodectoma from meddle ear. During the period of 1995-2006 we performed 229 surgical procedures with the
Ho:YAG laser, mostly for larynx pathologies (adhesion and scar tissue removal). In our experience Ho:YAG laser can
serve as a precise laser knife for both soft and bony tissue. The ER:YAG laser still remain under clinical trial. Since 2001
year we performed 24 procedures of removing stone deposits from salivary glands. We believe it may become a
promising method to cope with sialolithiasis which allows for glandule function preservation. All of the laser types
mentioned above, can be easily coupled with endoscopes, what makes them available for all of the head and necklocalized
disorders.

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) requires three components: a dye applied as the photosensitizer, a source of light, and a
possibly large amount of oxygen dissolved in the tissue. The considerably higher absorption of porphyrin
photosensitizers by tumorous tissues allows the application of these photosensitizers in the diagnosis and therapy of
tumors. The cytotoxic and cytolethal effects of the photodynamic therapy are associated with the formation of a singlet
oxygen or production of radical species by the porphyrin photosensitizers. In the cell, the singlet oxygen or radical
species impair important macromolecules like membrane phospholipids, structural proteins, enzymes, and DNA. This
study describes the photodynamic effect of the PP(AA)2Arg2 group photosensitizers on the activity of adenosine
deaminase, DNA-ase and trypsin in relation to the photosensitizer dose and the excitation energy.

Titanium nitride (TiN) is regarded as a potential biomaterial for blood-contact applications. TiN thin films were fabricated
by pulsed laser deposition with the Nd:YAG laser on biologically applied polyurethane. Transmission electron
microscopy (TEM) study of 350 nm thick films revealed columnar structure. Such films were observed to be brittle. In
order to improve the coatings elasticity, the thickness was reduced to 50nm, which limited the deposition mechanism
operation to the early stage. A biological test showed that TiN surface film produced on polyurethane is characterized by
good biocompatibility and decreased surface affinity for cell adhesion. The physical explanation of TEM images was
based on the performed finite element calculations of the temperature and stress distribution using the ADINA program.
Boron nitride thin layers were produced by means of the pulsed laser deposition technique from hexagonal boron nitride
target. Two types of laser i.e. Nd:YAG with Q-switch as well as KrF coupled with RF generator were used. Influence of
deposition parameters on surface morphology, phase composition as well as mechanical properties is discussed.
There are an increasing number of applications in tribology where the properties of a single material are not sufficient.
One way to surmount this problem is to use a multilayer coating. Application of metallic interlayers improves adhesion
of nitride hard layer in multilayer systems. Tribological coatings consisted of 4, 8 and 32 layers of Cr/CrN and Ti/TiN
types were fabricated with the PLD technique. It is found in transmission electron examinations on thin foils prepared
from cross-section that both nitride-based multilayer structures studied are characterized by small columnar crystallite
sizes and high defect density, what might raise their hardness but compromise coating adhesion. The intermediate metallic
layers contained larger sized and less defective columnar structure compared to the nitride layers, which should improve
the coatings toughness. Switching from single layer to multi-layer metal/nitride composition improved resistance
to delamination.

Thin films of CeO2 doped with Cu or Nd and Bi2O3 doped with Y were elaborated by Pulsed Laser Deposition technique
from sintered Cu-CeO2, Nd-CeO2 and Bi2O3 or Y- Bi2O3 targets. Two types of laser ablation equipment have been
applied: one worked with a KrF excimer and second with an Q-switched Nd:YAG. The films were deposited on (100)
and (110) oriented Si substrates. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy, as well as, x-ray diffraction analyses
showed correlation between a copper and neodymium atom fractions and crystalline structure of the (Cu, Ce)O2 and (Nd,
Ce)O2 thin films. As demonstrated by x-ray diffraction analysis, with increased quantity of Cu, and Nd the both types of
doped CeO2 thin films manufactured by laser ablation show a change of the crystal growth preferential orientation (c-axis-
orientation) from strong <111> to a strong <200> ones. In case of pure bismuth oxide deposition, both TEM and
X-ray examinations revealed that at applied experimental conditions only &agr; - Bi2O3 (not &dgr; - Bi2O3) crystals were formed
during ablation process. Microstructural TEM examinations permitted to show high grain refinement in Y- Bi2O3 thin
films. Preliminary measurements show also high level of electrical conductivity in case of this oxide. Due to SiO2
amorphous layer present at the surface of Si substrate, its crystallographic orientation doesn't influence the thin film
structure of all analyzed oxides.

Controlled melting of ceramic coatings caused the need to determine the influence of laser beam power density and
scanning rate within the melting depth of the coating. Applying numerical simulation method it was possible to elaborate
the model of heat exchange process for three layer plate of finite thickness with deposited ceramic coating. Heat energy
of laser beam moving with constant rate acted on that plate.

Hydroxyapatite layers (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) were deposited by means of laser ablation method using an ArF excimer laser
(193 nm). The influence of substrate temperature on the structure of deposited layers was studied. The layers were
deposited on Ti6Al4V titanium alloy which temperature varied from 250 °C to 700 °C. The characteristics of the
hydroxyapatite coatings were determined by means of Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The obtained
spectra reveal that the presence and abundance of the PO4 absorption bands depend on the substrate temperature. The
topography of the deposited layers were analyzed with the use of an Atomic Force Microscope.

The paper describes the laser cladding of hypereutectic Al-Si alloy with chromium. An impulse Nd:YAG laser was
employed for laser cladding process. The article presents the changes of microstructure, chemical composition,
microhardness of the obtained clad layers, which were depended on the effect of the laser processing parameters and the
thickness of chromium coatings. The laser cladding produced the very fine microstructure and higher hardness of clad
layers.

The general objective of the work was formation of highly wear resistant metal matrix composite (MMC) surface layers
on aluminium based Al 6061 alloy by means of laser dispersing. The surface of the substrate is locally melted by the
high power diode laser beam and simultaneously powder particles are injected into molten material. The optimal process
parameter window for the laser dispersing of SiC in Al 6061 has been found. The measured values of the wear rates of
the sample with dispersed SiC particles are about seven times lower than that of the reference Al-substrates. Results
show that laser dispersing is highly promising technology to improve the surface, mainly wear properties of light metals.
However the possibilities of industrial application are still limited due to considerable laser beam power and preheating
temperature applied as well low productivity because of low scanning speed, and therefore further investigations are
required.

The time dependent temperature and strain-stress fields are numerically calculated for the laser cladding of protective
stellite SF6 coatings on the X10Cr13 chromium steel. The temperature dependent material properties and also effects of
the base preheating and time delay between cladding of the consecutive layers are taken into account. Results of the
model calculations indicate that the micro-cracking susceptibility of the coating is smaller for the preheated base. In the
case of the substrate initial temperature of 600 °C the calculated strain stresses lie below the limit of the stellite tensile
strength. This is confirmed in experiment by the crack-free coatings while for the samples cladded on the non-preheated
substrate cracks are produced. An increase of the cracking susceptibility with prolonged time delay between preparation
cycles of the consecutive layers is evidenced by modelling, which agrees with experiment, too.

This paper presents results of SEM, microhardness, residual stress (measured using Weissman-Philips method) and
abrasion resistance examination of a surface layer of the tools steels remelted with a laser beam. Laser remelting of the
tool steels provides strengthening an increase of the surface layer as a result of formation of highly refined,
nonequilibrium products of the austenite transformation. There is obtained an increase of microhardness and abrasion
resistance of the surface layer in relation to traditionally heat treated steels. The influence of the tempering temperature
after a laser hardening on the distribution and the residual stresses values was also examined. The values of the stresses
decrease with the distance from the surface treated. Tempering steels after a laser treatment led to decreased values of the
residual stresses by about 30 to 50 MPa.

Results on micro- and nanoprocessing of organic polymers using X-rays and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) generated from
laser-plasma radiation sources are presented in the paper. The sources used in the studies are based on the gas puff target
approach developed at the Institute of Optoelectronics, Warsaw. Processing of polymers is connected with non-thermal
ablation under the influence of energetic photons of X-ray and EUV radiation. The process can be useful for practical
applications as it makes possible to produce structures with sub-micron spatial resolution that is not possible using the
thermal ablation. The new technology will be used for production of photonic microstructures and for modification of
polymer surfaces for biomedical applications.

This paper presents a physical model characterizing the geometry of gas-assisted laser cutting of the AlSi-alloy/SiCp
composite. In the model, a lot of relevant parameters that describe the inhomogeneous optical and thermophysical
properties of AlSi-alloy/SiCp have been used. Numerical evaluations of this model give some explanations of "double
slope" formation mechanism during laser cutting of the AlSi-alloy/SiCp. The theoretical results are compared with
experimental data. It is found that increasing laser beam scanning speed increases the slope of cutting front.

The increasing demands for miniaturization and better functionality of electronic components and devices have a
significant effect on the requirements facing the printed circuit board (PCB) industry. PCB manufactures are driving for
producing high density interconnect (HDI) boards at significantly reduced cost and reduced implementation time. The
interconnection complexity of the PCB is still growing and today calls for 50/50 &mgr;m or 25/25 &mgr;m technology are real.
Existing technologies are unable to offer acceptable solution. Recently the Laser Direct Imaging (LDI) technology is
considered as an answer for these challenges. LDI is a process of imaging electric circuits directly on PCB without the
use of a phototool or mask. The exposure of the photo-sensitive resist is carried out using a laser beam that is scanned
across photoresist surface and switched on and off by means of a computer control system according to the electrical
circuit pattern. Usually the laser used in the LDI generates a UV line, which is suitable to the commonly available
photoresists. Our laboratory system for Laser Direct Imaging is designed for tracks and spaces on PCB with minimum
width distance of 50/50 &mgr;m. In comparison with conventional photolithography method, this technology is much better
for 50/50 &mgr;m track and spaces. In our research we used photoresist with resolution 50 &mgr;m, but in case of using laser
photoresists with better resolution (e.g. 25 &mgr;m) it will be possible to image tracks in super-fine-line technology (25/25
&mgr;m). The comparison between two technology of creating mosaic pattern tracks on PCB proved that laser imaging is
promising technology in high density interconnects patterns, which are widely use in multilayered PCB and similar
applications.

Systems for laser micromachining of the materials are very popular around the world. Unfortunately, this technology is
not used widely in Poland. This is a result of very high prices of systems for laser micromachining, which Polish
electronic manufacturers can not afford for. This article is focused on Polish proposition of the system for laser
micromachining, which is adapted to producing metal stencils used in PCB manufacturing. Metal stencils are used
during one of the PCB manufacturing steps. It allows to precisely position soldering paste on PCB laminate exactly on
soldering places.

In the paper the authors present results about research dealing with deformations of low-carbon samples
influenced by a stagnant or not moving CO2 laser impulse. Permanent and non-permanent deformations were analysed
for two cases: for constant power and for constant maximal surface temperature. Laser-based forming methods known
till now, use moving laser beams. As a results of the paper it is found, that in case of constant power (for each
experimental points) non-permanent (temporary) deformation decreases with pulse duration and permanent (residual)
deformation is maximal for some pulse duration. But in case when surface temperature is kept constant, non-permanent
deformation is constant with pulse duration and curvature of permanent deformation can be positive negative or kept
zero. Aim of the research is to show possibility of laser forming by a not moving laser beam with suitable power
and pulse duration with control of sample residual curvature.

Analytical modelling of thermal bending of plates by use of a laser beam with circular cross-section is presented.
The most important parameters in this process have been found: the pick surface temperature and the Fourier number,
which are the similarity numbers. Experimental verification was performed. Temperature distribution in the plastified
layer of the material (where the material losses its elastic properties) was taken into considerations. Developed model
proves that effective bending occurs when the material surface temperature is close to the melting temperature. Restrain
rigidity coefficient of heated material in Presented model can be applied in various laser processing technologies, for
instance in welding, cutting, surface treatment, including hardening and others. Theoretical results of residual stresses
distribution in plates after laser beam pass is presented. Analysis of the solution proves possibility control of surface
stress on both sides of the bent plates by change Fourier number and surface temperature.

The paper presents selected laser systems used for remote detection of contamination and pollution of atmosphere.
Having in view a way of taking samples for analysis, the methods used for atmosphere monitoring can be divided into
two groups: sampling at the place of existing pollution and remote detection, identification, and measurement of
concentration. "Stand-off" and "remote" systems of atmosphere monitoring are described here. The "stand-off" systems
provide detection of pollution (gas, aerosol, smoke, dust) at long distances, without the contact with a contaminated area.
These systems are active laser systems (lidars) or passive thermal systems with narrow filters matched to the bands of
gas absorption and imaging the transmission changes of radiation absorbed along the path of gas presence. A single
"stand-off" station can cover significant area, the size of which depends on the range of sampling radiation, field of view,
and scanning speed. "Remote" systems employ various types of small point sensors and the data from these sensors are
transmitted by wire or wireless connections to alarm centres. It should be pointed out that in this case, a contact between
sensor and analysed area is necessary and remote detection is performed by the transmission systems of measurement
data. The paper presents construction, principle of operation, and basic analytical characteristics of the chosen "standoff"
and "remote" measuring systems developed at Military University of Technology, devoted to continuous monitoring
of contaminations and pollution of atmosphere.

The paper proposes of a new chemical analysis technique that employs the phenomenon of directional scattering of
polarized light by the particles of solutions and suspensions. Laboratory tests carried out have demonstrated the
existence of a dependence of the scattering indicatrix on the type and concentration of the dissolved substance. To any
solution, a several hundred-element space of states can be assigned, in which each of the solutions takes on from several
tens to several hundred different values. The process of laser light scattering in solutions is also dependent on the
interaction of external magnetic and electric fields and on the wavelength of the laser beam and the way of its
modulation. This provides an opportunity for the further expansion of the size of the space of states. As a result, a new
research tool will obtained, which will constitute a complement of the optoelectronic techniques used for far in chemical
analysis.

A content measurement of chosen ingredients in a gas mixture can be done with optical methods, e.g. using optical
fibres. Their undoubted advantages are lack of disturbance of a medium to be measured and possibility of application
in aggressive media. In the article, experiments have been described, aimed at developing a cheap CO-analyser,
that would be based on a modified correlation method. Such an analyser could be utilized in content measurement
of carbon monoxide in near-wall layer of power boiler. It could be treated as a pointer of corrosion thread in a power

Air contaminants which emerge during laser ablation often cause health risks if released in the workplace and decrease
laser cleaning efficiency if redeposited at the material surface. In addition, ultra-fine particles are generated if short laser
pulses are applied. Consequently, a description of the nano and microparticle aerosol generation and the influence of the
laser parameters, such as fluence and pulse energy, and type of material surface on the particle size distribution is given
in the presented paper. The conducted experiments have shown that for applied laser fluences almost 80% of all emitted
particles are in the nanoparticle size range of 30 - 100 nm. The high respirability of such particles can pose health risks,
so suitable capture systems near to the processing zone or personal protective equipment such as respiratory masks are
required.

Brillouin spectroscopy has been applied to study a synthetic polymer and its solutions in polar and nonpolar solvents. Of
particular interest has been the effect of concentration, temperature and polarity of the solvent on the mechanical
properties of the mixtures studied. The experimental methods applied permitted investigation of the structural relaxation
process related to the dynamics of changes in the internal structure of the polymer chains. It has been shown that the
quantitative analysis of the relaxation process can be made in terms of the model based on the theory of viscoelasticity of
liquids. The association processes in the systems studied have been analysed assuming the Natta-Baccaredda model. The
model has been shown to be successfully applicable for description of mixtures of the polymers interacting with solvents.
The limitations of the model in the situation when one of the components of the solution is neutral, while the other one
undergoes strong self-association, has been considered.

In this paper, results of Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurements of the flow velocity field in an electrostatic
precipitator (ESP) are presented. The ESP was an acrylic parallelepiped with a wire discharge electrode and two plate
collecting electrodes placed on the top and bottom of the ESP. The measurements were carried out for various dust
densities. The obtained results showed that the general shape of the flow patterns at different dust densities is similar in
the bulk of the flow. However, the flow velocities and level of turbulences strongly depends on the dust density, in
particular in the downstream region of the ESP, behind the wire electrode.

The interferometric method for ferrule geometrical parameters measuring and testing is presented. The geometrical
parameters are defined according to the IEC international standards. The quality of the ferrule face has important
influence on transmission parameters of optical connectors like the attenuation and reflectance.The measurements
results of the spherical height for FC-APC, SC-APC and E2000-APC are presented in this work. The high value of
protrusion has influence on thermal and mechanical resistance of optical connectors. The problem is presented for the
temperature and vibration tests.

In this paper the authors present an example of optical transmission system based on soliton technology. Implementation
of wavelength division multiplexing enables achievement of 40 Gbps in one channel. In described example a multipointmultipoint
topology was applied and there the programmable WSXC optical cross connect was used. Model of such
system was implemented in OptSim simulation software (ARTIS Software Corporation)9. Finally an error-free soliton
transmission was obtained on haul from 1300 to 1800 km.

Modern optical transmission systems require both high-bit rate and long distances. Solitons are considered to be the best
solution to the dispersive problem, as they preserve their shape over long distances. There are two types of solitons
(PAS, DMS), which have application in optical transmission systems. In both fiber optic amplifiers are used, but DMS
additionally uses dispersion management technique to achieve nearly unlimited propagation distances. Soliton WDM has
many advantages, which make it attractive as far as data transmission is concerned. Some features of the transmission
have been analyzed in the OptSim simulation software (ARTIS Software Corporation)5.
