란탄족 원소가 도핑된 세라믹 나노결정, 즉, 나노형광체는 도핑되는 원소의 종류에 따라 다양한 색을 발광할 수 있다. 일반적으로 형광체는 외부에너지에 의해 여기된 후 흡수한 에너지 보다 작은 에너지의 가시광을 발광하게 된다. 이러한 현상은 downconversion 발광으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 모체에 Yb3+와 Er3+를 도핑하는 경우 적외선을 흡수하여 가시광선을 발광하는 upconversion 현상이 관찰된다. Upconversion 형광체를 이용하여 적외선을 가시광으로 변환시키면 sub-band gap 손실을 줄임으로써 태양전지 효율을 높일 수 있고, 바이오 이미징 감도를 높일 수도 있다. 그러나, upconversion 발광기구에서는 두 개의 적외선 광자가 흡수되어 하나의 가시광 광자가 방출되기 때문에 upconversion 발광 효율은 downconversion 발광 효율에 비하여 매우 낮은 특성을 보인다. 특히 형광체의 크기가 작아져 나노미터 영역의 크기가 되면 효율이 더욱 낮아지기 때문에 upconversion 나노형광체의 경우 효율을 증가시키기 위하여 형광체 주위로 결정질 쉘을 형성시키는 것이 필요하다. 이 때, 결정질 쉘에 downconversion 특성을 보일 수 있는 란탄족 원소를 도핑하는 경우 upconversion 발광 강도가 증대될 뿐 아니라, 하나의 나노입자에서 upconversion과 downconversion 두 가지 서로 다른 발광 특성을 관찰할 수 있다. 본 발표에서는 단일 나노입자에서 upconversion과 downconversion 발광을 보이는 이중발광 코어/쉘 나노형광체의 발광 특성에 대하여 논의하고자 한다.

In this study, a novel long term stabilization method of optical feedback for the resonant cavity coupled semiconductor lasers is proposed, and its utility was shown experimentally. The proposed method is realized by using the pahse discriminator of optical feedback with high gain. The phase discriminating signal was obtained by the polarization spectroscopic technique using reflection light from the external reflector, which is a confocal Fabry-Perot cavity. Experimental result shows that stable control state can be maintained up to 20 hours. The period can be increased by reducing size of the system and/or fixing position stably of optical parts used, which were arranged on an optical table by using magnetic bases in this experiment. The proposed long-term stabilization method of optical feedack of a resonant external cavity coupled semiconductor laser is very useful for the field of high sensitivity measurement, and for the use in the laboratory level in particular.

In a detection system based on laser light scattering, focusing an excitation laser beam into a focal point of a channel in a microfluidic chip is important for obtaining the highest excitation intensity, and consequently for obtaining a laser light scattering signal using a photodetector with a high efficiency. In this paper, we present a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microfluidic chip consisting of an integrated PDMS microlens for cell detection based on laser light scattering. We fabricated PDMS microlens for optical detection system by simply putting down on PDMS chips. The PDMS microlens was fabricated by photoresist reflow and replica molding. This fabrication technique is simple and has an excellent property in terms of the microlens and a high-dimensional accuracy. The PDMS microlens integrated on the PDMS microfluidic chip has been verified to improve the laser intensity, and accordingly, the signal-to-noise ratio and sensitivity of laser light scattering detection for red blood cells(RBCs)

The low- frequency hydrophone sensor, using the recently developed FBG has an excellent merits which the existing fiber-optic sensor has and also it has an excellent signal sensing effect in the environment of low-frequency(30Hz-300Hz), not to be detected by the PZT sensor. we have the detection of frequency 19KHz right signals when was using more Hopper lenz WDM than $1{\times}3$ optical coupler. furthermore, we can expect the uitilization of low-frequency signal detection to be used for the military purpose and also it can be developed as the high-sensibility multiplexing through the sensor array system.

인쇄/소결 방법으로 가시영역에서 광감도가 매우 큰 CdSSe 다결정 후막을 만들고 이를 이용하여 광전도 젤을 제작하였다. 후막의 낱알 크기는 $5{\mu}m$ 정도이였다. 광전도 셀은 소결 촉진제로 첨가한 $cucl_2$ 양이 CdSSe 1 g 당 3.06~0.10 mg 정도이변 감도, 광전류와 암전류의 비율이 각각 0.7과 $10^5$ 이상을 나타내었고, Cds 와 CdSe 의 질량비가 1:0, 9:1, 8:2, 7:3, 6:4, 5:5일 때 응답파장은 각각 500nm, 520nm, 540nm, 570nm, 620nm, 660nm였다. 또한 주파수 특성을 나타내는 응답시간은 오름시간과 감쇠시간이 각각 30관 20ms 정도 이였으며 최대허용 소비 전력은 80mw 이상이었다. 이상과 같이 인쇄/소결 방법으로 제작된 광전도 셀은 $cucl_2$ 양이 CdSSe 1g 당 0.06~0.10 mg 정도 주입되면 센서로써 좋은 특성을 나타내었다.

Synthesis and characterization of photosensitive orthonaphthoquinonediazide-sulfonyl derivatives were studied. These photoactive compounds underwent a UV induced transformation to the base-soluble photoproduct. The photoresists were prepared using these photoactive compounds with low molecular weight m-cresol novolacs as matrix resin. And photosensitive characteristics of the photoresists were studied. 3, 4, 5-Trihydroxy-benzophenone with bulky resonance structure increased the sensitivity and the solubility rate of the exposed region. The mixture of PAC and matrix resin having 3:8 weight ratio had the moderate rate of dissolution in the developer. The photoresist using these conditions showed the best snsitivity and contrast under the fixed conditions.

The rapidly developing applications of optical fiber in sensors, sensor system and super high speed optical communication have begun to produce tangible demands for optical coupler and connected WDM. we have designed and made Hopper type WDM (national patent NO:10-1502954). The Hopper type WDM is bi-directional $1{\times}3$ WDM of asymmetry Butt coupling for super high speed optical communication. The Hopper type WDM is used central wavelength of each 850nm,1300nm,1550nm. The Hopper type WDM has an excellent merits which the existing WDM and also it has an excellent signal of super high speed and economic in made. The characteristic of Hopper type WDM is superior in ave 0.02-0.03dB as compared with $1{\times}3$ optical coupler to excess loss. Especially, we can expect the utilization of super high speed optical MUX and also can be developed as the high-sensibility signal detected system in using optical sensor system parts.

A unique optical waveguide structure is proposed to enhance the optical characteristics of alcohol screening sensors. This structure is then simulated. The structure consists of two elliptical waveguides that have a common focus to one side and has an IR source and detector at each of the other focal points of the ellipses. When the angle between the two elliptical waveguides is increased from 30 degrees to 90 degrees, the maximum level of irradiance is greatly decreased, falling from $2.23{\times}10^6 W/m^2$ to $5.74{\times}10^5W/m^2$. However, the diameter of the incident rays is at a minimum of 1.86mm and the total incident flux is less than 10% lower when compared to the structure at $90^{\circ}$. It can be seen from the simulation results that this structure might enhance the sensitivity of an optical gas sensor which has a large absorption wavelength.

In this paper, an optical dosimetric system for radiation dose measurement is developed and characterized for 100 MeV proton beams in KOMAC(Korea Multi-Purpose Accelerator Complex). The system consists of 10 wt% Ultima GoldTM liquid organic scintillator in the ethanol, a camera lens(50 mm / f1.8), and a high sensitivity CMOS(complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) camera (ASI120MM, ZWO Co.). The FOV(field of view) of the system is designed to be 150 mm at a distance of 2 m. This system showed sufficient linearity in the range of 1~40 Gy for the 100 MeV proton beams in KOMAC. We also successfully got the percentage depth dose and the isodose curves of the 100 MeV proton beams from the captured images. Because the solvent is not a human tissue equivalent material, we can not directly measure the absorbed dose of the human body. Through this study, we have established the optical dosimetric procedure and propose a new volume dose assessment method.

Residential electricity consumer can rent a photovoltaic power generator, whose profit can be exist if the decreased electric fee is larger than the rent fee. But the exact function of the profit have not expressed until now, which is shown in this paper. Two assumptions are supposed. The first assumption is that the generated electric power by the renting photovoltaic generator is 300kWh per month. The second assumption is that the rent fee 362300 won is paid once when the photovoltaic generator is installed. The earings rate, the payback time and the sensitivity of a low-voltage residential electricity consumer's profit consuming 401~1000kWh per month at a detached house for the initial 7 years is calculated by the induced exact function.
