유전율(${\varepsilon}_r$) 126, $Q{\cdot}f_{0}(GHz)$값은 2240, 공진주파수의 온도계수(${\tau}_f$) $+68\;ppm/^{\circ}C$의 특성을 갖는 $0.3CaTiO_3-0.7(Li_{1/2}Nd_{1/2})TiO_3에\;Nd_2O_3$를 첨가하였을 때의 마이크로파 유전특성의 변화에 대해 고찰하였다. 유전율(${\varepsilon}_r$)은 5wt% $Nd_2O_3$ 첨가시 131로 가장높은 값을 나타내었으며, 이후 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 유전율은 감소함을 보였다. $Q{\cdot}f_{0}(GHz)$값은 9wt% $Nd_2O_3$ 첨가시까지 입계의 치밀화 등에 의해 3533까지 증가하다가 이후 l8wt% $Nd_2O_3$첨가시까지는 비정상적 입계성장의 영향으로 감소함을 보이고, 25 wt% 이상 첨가시에는 제2상인 $Nd_2Ti_2O_7$상의 영향으로 다시 증가함을 보였다. 공진주파수의 온도계수($({\tau}_f$)는 $Nd_2O_3$첨가에 따라 최초의 $+68\;ppm/^{\circ}C$에서 30wt% $Nd_2O_3$ 첨가시 $-46\;ppm/^{\circ}C$까지 변화함을 알 수 있었다. $0.3CaTiO_3-0.7(Li_{1/2}Nd_{1/2})TiO_3에\;Nd_2O_3$를 9wt% 첨가하여 $1425^{\circ}C$에서 3시간동안 소결한 시편에서 유전율(${\varepsilon}_r$)은 108, $Q{\cdot}f_{0}(GHz)$값은 3533, 공진주파수의 온도계수(${\varepsilon}_f$)가 $+6\;ppm/^{\circ}C$인 우수한 마이크로파 유전특성을 얻을 수 있었다.

Electrical and structural properties were investigated on the effects of ZnO and the lead-free NKN-LST ceramics with the addition of ZnO were fabricated by a conventional mixed oxide method. A gradual change in the crystal and microstructure was observed with the increase of ZnO addition. For the NKN-LST-ZnO ceramics sintered at $1050^{\circ}C$, bulk density increased with the addition of ZnO and showed maximum value at addition 2.0mol% of ZnO. Curie temperature of the NKN-LST-ZnO ceramics slightly decreased with adding ZnO. The dielectric constant, piezoelectric constant ($d_{33}$) and electromechanical coupling factor ($k_p$) increased at the small amount of ZnO addition, which might be due to the increase in density. The high piezoelectric properties = 153 pC/N, electromechanical coupling factor = 0.484 and dielectric constant = 2883 were obtained for the NKN-LST+0.5ZnO ceramics sintered at $1050^{\circ}C$ for 2h.

광통신시스템에서 효율적인 광전송을 위해서는 광섬유와 필름 도파로사이에 효율적인 결합이 필요하다. 광섬유와 필름 도파로를 직접연결하면 광섬유와 필름 도파로간의 크기 및 모양의 차이로 인한 필드 프로필의 불일치로 인하여 연결부위에서 많은 광손실이 발생하기 때문에 광효율이 저하된다는 문제점이 존재한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 광섬유와 광도파로의 직접 연결 시 발생하는 효율의 저하를 막기 위해 광섬유와 광도파로를 연결하는 Y-branch를 설계하고 제작하였다. Y-branch의 해석방법으로는 많은 광도파로의 해석법 중 가장 간단하고 적용이 쉬운 섭동궤환방법을 사용하였다. 해석된 결과를 이용하여 $LiNbO_3$ 에 Ti를 확산시키는 방법을 통하여 Y-branch를 제작하여 측정을 실시하였다. 측정은 $1550{\mu}m$ LD레이저 광원을 이용하여 커플러를 통하여 광이 입사하도록 구성한 후 출련단에서 광신호의 near field mode를 측정하였다. 이를 통하여 Y-branch를 통해 입사하는 광의 입사조건을 변화시켜도 고차모드들은 모두 제거되고 기본 모드만 유지되고 있는 특성을 확인하였다.

ZnO was doped up to 0.3 wt% for improving the electrical properties of lead-free $[Li_{0.04}(Na_{0.44}Ko_{0.52})-(Nb_{0.86}\;Ta_{0.10}\;Sb_{0.04})]O_3$ piezoelectric ceramics. The ceramics were fabricated with the conventional sintering processes. Crystal structure of the samples was tetragonal phase regardless of ZnO amount. However, the piezoelectric properties were varied with the ZnO amount. The electro-mechanical coupling factor $(k_p)$ was with the ZnO amount up to 0.2 wt% but decreased with the further addition. the maximum value of $k_p$ was 0.475. Density, piezoelectric charge constant and relative dielectric constant was also showed maximum value at 0.2 wt%. The maximum values are $4.75g/cm^3$, 275 pC/N, 1403, respectively. In contrast, the mechanical quality factor $(Q_m)$ was not varied with increasing the ZnO addition up to 0.2 wt% but rapidly increased at 0.3 wt%.

In this study, $[Li_{0.04}(Na_{0.5}K_{0.5})_{0.96}](Nb_{0.86}Ta_{0.10}Sb_{0.04})O_3+xSrO$ (x=0, 0.0025, 0.005, 0.0075) ceramics were synthesized by the conventional mixed oxide method. The X-ray diffraction patterns demonstrated that ceramics possessed single perovskite structure. The SEM images indicate that microstructure can be obviously affected by a small amount of added SrO. The phase transition temperature tetragonal-cubic($T_c$) and orthorhombic-tetragonal($T_{o-t}$) shifts downward and upward with the increase of Sr addition, respectively. The excellent piezoelectric properties of $d_{33}=170[pC/N]$, $k_p=0.37$, $Q_m=64.12$, $T_{o-t}=153^{\circ}C$ and $T_c=370^{\circ}C$ were obtained from the 0.25 mol% Sr added ceramics sintered at $1,120^{\circ}C$ for 1 h.

In this paper, the $0.995(Li_{0.04}(Na_{0.56}K_{0.44})_{0.96}(Nb_{0.90}Ta_{0.10})_{0.998}Zn_{0.005}O_3+0.005KNbO_3+xwt%\;TeO_2$ lead-free piezoelectric ceramics for energy harvesting devices were fabricated by the conventional mixed oxide method. The microstructure, dielectric, and piezoelectric properties were investigated as a function of the $TeO_2$ addition. All the specimens showed an orthorhombic phase structure. At the composition ceramics doped with 0.1 wt%$TeO_2$, the optimum values of $d_{33}$= 212 pC/N, $d_{33}{\cdot}g_{33}=9.54pm^2/N$, and kp=0.448 were obtained, respectively. The results indicate that the composition ceramics is a promising candidate for energy harvesting devices applications.

As a candidate for lead-free piezoelectric materials, dense $95(Na_{0.5}K_{0.5})NbO_3-5LiTaO_3$ (NKN-5LT) ceramics were developed by conventional sintering process. Sintering temperature was lowered by adding $Li_2O$ as a sintering aid. The electrical properties of NKN-5LT ceramics were investigated as a function of $Li_2O$ concentration. At the addition of 1 mol% $Li_2O$, electromechanical coupling factor $(k_P)$ and piezoelectric coefficient $(d_{33})$ of NKN-5LT ceramics were found to reach the highest values of 0.37 and 250 pC/N, respectively.

With trend of the miniaturization and the high-functionalizing of mobile communication system, low-loss microwave dielectric materials are widely used for high frequency communication components. These dielectric materials should be co-sintered with highly electric-conducting metal such as silver or copper for high-frequency and thick film process application. Sintering temperature of $Ca(Li_{1/3}Nd_{2/3})_{0.2}Ti_{0.8}]O_{3-{\delta}}$, which has excellent dielectric properties such as ${\varepsilon}_r$ above 40, quality factor ($Q{\cdot}f_0$) above 16,000 GHz, and TCF (temperature coefficient of resonant frequency) of $-20{\sim}-10ppm/^{\circ}C$, is reported as high as $1,175^{\circ}C$, so it could not be co-sintered with silver or copper. Therefore in this study, low-temperature melting glasses of Zn-B-O and Zn-B-Si-O systems were added to $Ca[(Li_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})_{0.8}Ti_{0.2}]O_{3-{\delta}}$ to lower its sintering temperature under $900^{\circ}C$ without losing excellency of dielectric properties. With 15 weight % of Zn-B-Si-O glass and sintered at $875^{\circ}C$, specimen showed density of $4.11g/cm^3$, ${\varepsilon}_r$ of 40.1, $Q{\cdot}f_0$ of 4,869 GHz, and TCF of $-5.9ppm/^{\circ}C$. With 15 weight % of Zn-B-O glass and sintered at $875^{\circ}C$, specimen showed density of $4.14g/cm^3$, ${\varepsilon}_r$ of 40.4, $Q{\cdot}f_0$ of 7,059 GHz, and TCF of $-0.92ppm/^{\circ}C$.

A new lithium niobate optical modulator with a polymer buffer layer on Ni in-diffused optical waveguide is proposed for the fist time, successfully fabricated and examined at a wavelength of 1.3 mm. By determining the diffusion parameters of Ni in-diffused waveguide to achieve more desirable mode size which is well matched to the mode in the fiber, the detailed results on the achievement of high optical throughput are reported. In addition, the usefulness of polymer buffer layer which can be applicable to a buffer layer in Ni in-diffused waveguide devices is demonstrated. Several sets of channel waveguides fabricated on Z-cut lithium niobate by Ni in-diffusion were obtained and on which coplanar traveling-wave type electrodes with a polymer-employed buffer layer were developed by a conventional fabrication method for characterizing of electro-optical performances of the proposed device. The experimental results show that the measured half-wave voltage is of ~10 V and the total measured fiber-to-fiber insertion loss is of ~6.4 dB for a 40 mm long at a wavelength of =1.3 mm, respectively. From the experimental results, it is confirmed that the polymer-employed buffer layer in LiNbO3 optical modulator can be a substitute material instead of silicon oxide layer which is usually processed at a high temperature of over $300^{\circ}C$. Moreover, the fabrication tolerances by using polymer materials in LiNbO3 optical modulators are much less strict in comparison to the case of dielectric buffer layer.
