In this study, algae cultivation using the photobioreactor has been applied to remove the nitrogen and phosphorus compounds in the wastewater of the livestock industry. The optimal ratio of nitrate and ortho-phosphate concentration was found for the enhancement of removal efficiency. To achieve the high density culture of algae, the photobioreactor consisted of optical fibers wes developed to get the sufficient light intensity. The light could be illuminated uniformly from light source to the entire reactor by the optical fibers. The structured kinetic model was proposed to describe the growth rate, consumption rate of nitrates and ortho-phosphates in algae culture. The self-organizing fuzzy logic controller incorporated with genetic algorithm was constructed to control the semi-continuous wastewater treatment system. The proposed fuzzy logic controller was applied to maintain the nitrated concentration at the given set-point with the control of wastewater feeding rate. The experimental results showed that the self-organizing fuzzy logic controller could keep the nitrate concentration and enhance algae growth.

In order to construct B-ISDN, it is inevitable to introduce optical fiber of low loss and wide bandwidth. Coincidently, high count optical fiber cable is solely important to form optical subscriber network. The best structure of high count optical fiber cable to achieve multi-splicing as well as high density at the same time is the one of taking optical ribbon as a unit of accomodation. However, since optical ribbon has its own width. optical loss due to length difference during the bending of ribbon cable unit occurs in relatively easy way. Therefore, care should be taken during its manufacturing and storage. In t\1::; paper, strain, bending radius and lateral pressure of each fiber in ribbon due to the bending of ribbon cable unit are caculated theoretically. Hence, we have measured optical loss of each fiber as function of unit bending radius, when we bent the ribbon cable unit on the various reel. We found that the result accords well with the theoretical analysis. The result shows the importance to determine proper radius of reel used in ribbon cable manufacturing and storage. orage.

An optical microphone incorporating a reflective diaphragm and a fiber-optic head was demonstrated. The diaphragm was made of a micromirror membrane which is suspended by a silicon bar connected to a frame, allowing fer a displacement induced by acoustic waves. A compact, simple optical head was implemented by exploiting a single multimode fiber. For the assembled microphone, the static characteristics were investigated to find the operation point defined as the optimum distance between the head and the diaphragm, and a flat frequency response with a variation of $\sim$2dB for the range of up to 2 kHz was accomplished.

지금까지 광파장 측정기로는 회절격자를 이용한 스펙트로미터$^{[1]}$ , 간섭계형 측정기$^{[2]}$ , 퓨리어변환 스펙트로미터$^{[3]}$ 등이 개발되어 왔다. 이러한 측정 방법들은 정밀도면에서 안정적이나 시스템의 부피가 크고, 복잡하며, 광학적 정렬의 어려움이 있다. 또한 WDM 파장영역인 1550nm 부근에서 회절격자를 이용한 스펙트로미터는 고가의 광검출기를 사용하여야 한다. 최근에는 기존의 광학적 정렬이나 기계적인 움직임이 없이 측정가능한 방법에 대한 연구가 활발하다. 본 논문에서는 위상지연기로 쓰인 Polarization Mantaining Fiber(PM-fiber)내에서 입사광의 파장에 따라 fast축과 slow축 방향 편광성분의 위상차가 파장의 함수인 것을 이용해 이 위상차에의한 서로 다른 편광성분의 Power의 차이를 측정함으로써 파장을 결정하는 저가의 휴대용 광파장 측정장비의 구현방법을 제시하였다.

최근 일본이 광촉매 관련 제품에서의 소비자. 보호를 위한 적절한 표준화 규격 제정에 강한 의욕을 보이며, 자국내 JIS 규격 외에 ISO 규격 (ISO/TC 206 fine ceramics)을 제정하기 위하여 노력하고 있다. 이에 국내에서는 산업보호 및 해외시장에서의 종속성을 벗어나기 위하여 2001년부터 선정된 분야에서의 광촉매표준화 시도가 이루어졌다. 그 중의 하나로 본 논문은 광섬유를 빛 전달 매개체와 광촉매 코팅 지지체로 이용해서 광촉매 졸을 구성하는 광촉매 자체의 유기물 분해능을 결정하는 방법을 규정하는 과정과 제안과 관련된 것이다. 이 규격은 코팅 가능한 졸이나 졸로 만들 수 있는 자외선 감응 광촉매 재료에 적용하며, 차후 가시광 및 태양광 감응 광촉매 활성 측정 및 비교에도 응용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, we investigate the performance limitations of SubCarrier Multiplexed(SCM) WDM systems using optical Double-Side Band(DSB) modulated 16 QAM signals. The Bit-Error Rate(BER) performance is evaluated under various optical transmission links including the effects of the dispersion and fiber nonlinearities such as SPM(Self-Phase Modulation) and XPM(cross-phase modulation). After simulation of SCM-WDM systems, the dominant factors determining the entire system performance are appeared to be the nonlinearity of MZ(Mach-Zehnder) modulator and the SCM channel spacing. The BER performance of subcarrier channels in the higher frequencies was degraded with the large dispersion effect only, however, the performance was improved a little with a combined effect of fiber dispersion and nonlinear effect when the hish fiber launching power was applied.

An optical microphone based on a dual-core fiber collimator and a membrane type micromirror serving as an optical head and a reflective diaphragm respectively was implemented. The micromirror diaphragm is suspended by a thin silicon bar linked with a frame, thus it is subject to a displacement induced by acoustic waves. The optical head incorporating two collimators integrated in a single housing gives light to and receives it from the diaphragm, rendering the optical microphone structure simple and compact. This dual-core collimator having a slowing varying beam profile facilitates the initial alignment of the optical head with the diaphragm, especially the distance between them. For the assembled microphone, the static characteristics were investigated tofind the operation point defined as the optimum distance between the head and the diaphragm, and a frequency response with a variation of about $\pm$5 dB for the range of up to 3kHz was achieved.

We achieved 95% visibility in the Hong-Ou-Mandel interference experiment while we achieved only 56% visibility in a previous report. We used a 120 mW 405 nm single-mode continuous wave laser, a 5-mm-thick type-1 ${\beta}$-barium borate single crystal, standard Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometer optics, two avalanche photodiode single-photon counters, and a homemade coincidence counting unit. The photon collection unit was the key difference between the present study and the previous study. In the present experiment, we used single-mode optical fibers for photon collection, which suppressed accidental coincidence between-different mode photons by acting as a spatial filter because of its core size being much smaller than a multi-mode fiber.

In this paper, in order to analyze property of frequency response in optical microphone, system was implemented. The capacitance microphone and fiber-optic transmission path type fiber-optic microphone (FOM) have weaknesses in directivity, size, weight, and price. However suggested optical microphone can be constituted by cheap devices, so it has many benefits like small size, light weight, high directivity, etc. Head part of optical microphone which is suggested in this paper is movable back and forth by sound pressure with the attached reflection plate. Operating point is determined by measuring the respond characteristics and choosing the point on which has maximum linearity and sensitivity while changing the distance between optical head and vibrating plate. We measured the output of the O/E transformed signal of the optical microphone while frequency of sound signal is changed using sound measurement/analysis program, Smaart Live and USBPre, which are based on PC, and compared the result from an existing capacitance microphone. The measured Optical microphone showed almost similar output characteristics as those of the compared condenser microphone, and its bandwidth performance was about 300[Hz]-3[kHz] at up to 3 [dB].
