Fluorescent photopolymer film was prepared with composition containing acrylate monomer, binder, a visible light sensitive photo initiator, and fluorescent anthracene polymer. A fluorescent grating pattern was inscribed on the photopolymer film using a 2-beam coupling method. A 514 nm laser was coupled to generate a beam-interference pattern. A highly fluorescent diffractive line pattern was formed on the fluorescent photopolymer within 30 sec. of exposure. The fluorescence intensity was highly enhanced in the patterned area, possibly due to the change in the environment of the fluorescent polymers by the photo-polymerization of monomers. Under a photo-mask, a gap electrode pattern was formed of fluorescent gratings with a sub-micron scale, which was matched well to the calculated value ($2.5\;{\mu}m$ and $0.6\;{\mu}m$) based on the refractive index of the photopolymer and beam incident angle ($3.4^{\circ}$, $15^{\circ}$) to the photopolymer surface.

Erasable polarization holographic grating was recorded with two-wave mixing in PCN which was side-chain liquid crystalline polymalonic esters containing two symmetrical 4-cyanoazobenzene as photoresponsive groups. The diffraction efficiency of recorded grating was measured and the characteristics of recording, decay in a dark room and erasing by circularly polarized light were investigated. As the results, birefringence, $\Delta$n of PCN was measured $6.5{\times}10^{-2}$, which was 0~100 times higher than those of crystals such as Fe:$LiNbO_3$, Ce:$BaTiO_3$ crystals. Dark decay rates was $4.3{\times}10^{-5}$ %/hour, which showed the possibility of application as data storage media.

액정은 낮은 전압에서 액정 방향자의 변화에 따른 굴절률 변조를 일으키고 가시광과 근적외선 파장에서 큰 투과도를 가지고 있어 특히 디스플레이 등의 소자에 널리 이용되고 있다. 그러나 현재 액정만을 이용한 디스플레이 등의 응용제품들은 응답속도, 구동특성으로 인해 대화면 구동이 곤란하고 편광판의 사용으로 시야각은 물론 빛 손실량이 크다는 단점과 광변조기로의 응용에 있어서는 큰 파장의존성이 있어 다중 파장의 빛 조절이 어렵고, 또한 입사편광을 왜곡한다는 단점을 가지고 있다. (중략)

Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) base films with high light transmittance have been used for the substrate of various functional films in the flat panel display. The effects of the reflective index of coated films, the roughness of the film surface and the content of inorganic silica particles on the light transmittance were studied in this article. Light transmittance was increased by coating a water soluble resin with a low reflective index at an optimum thickness. The roughness of the film did not affect light transmittance when the Ra of the film surface was less than a quarter of the wavelength of incident light. Inorganic silica particles decreased light transmittance due to their absorbance and scattering of the incident light.

본 연구에서는 고출력, 고휘도를 위해서 개발되고 있는 수직형 LED소자의 광출력향상을 위한 나노 패터닝 공정을 진행하였다. 수직형 LED는 기존 측면형 LED에 비해서 열방출 특성이 우수하고 대면적 칩으로 제작이 가능하기 때문에 높은 광출력이 필요한 조명 분야로의 적용이 가능하다. 하지만 수직형 LED 역시 기존 측면형 LED와 마찬가지로 질화갈륨 및 외부 공기와의 계면에서 전반사가 심하기 때문에 광추출효율이 낮은 문제점이 있으며 이를 해결하는 것이 큰 이슈가 되고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해서 광결정 패턴을 LED 소자에 형성하여 광추출효율을 향상시키려는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으나 아직까지 수직형 LED 웨이퍼 전면적에 균일한 패턴을 형성할 수 있는 기술 개발이 미진한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 유연 고분자 몰드를 이용한 대면적 나노 임프린팅 및 나노 프린팅 기술을 통해서 2 inch 수직형 LED 웨이퍼 전면적에 균일한 패턴을 전사하는 공정을 진행하였다. 구체적으로는 나노임프린트 및 건식식각 공정을 통해서 수직형 LED의 n형 질화갈륨 층에 높은 가로세로비의 광결정 패턴을 형성하였으며 이를 통해서 약 40% 정도의 광출력이 향상되었다. 또한 고 굴절률의 산화아연 나노 패턴 형성공정을 대면적 LED 기판에 시도하였다.

This study used 3-vinylanisole and 4-vinylanisole with the cross-linker EGDMA (ethylene glycol dimethacrylate), HEMA (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), MMA (methyl methacrylate), NVP (N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) and the initiator AIBN (azobisisobutyronitrile) for copolymerization. Measurement of the physical characteristics of the copolymerized material showed that the refractive index is 1.4496 - 1.4894, water content 22.93 - 35.50%, visible transmittance 88.8 - 90.8%. Also, measurements showed that the refractive index increased while the water content decreased as the ratio of 3-vinylanisole and 4-vinylanisole increased. And in cases of copolymer with 3-vinylanisole, 4-vinylanisole (added 15%) the results showed transmittance of 52.8 - 82.2%, 13.2 - 26.2% respectively for UV-A and UV-B showing that they have UV-blocking effects. Based on the results of this study, the produced copolymer can be estimated to be suitable for use as ophthalmic lens material for high refractive index and UV- blocking effects.

Recently the application of plastic optical fiber (POF) in automotives and planes demands the heat-resistant and high refractive index con materials. We synthesized polyglutarimides (PGIs) via imidization of PMMA with primary amines under high pressure and high temperature and investigated thermal and optical properties by varying the molar ratio of amines and the type of amines (ethyl amine vs. isopropyl mine). The degree of imidization was calculated based on the peak intensity in $^1H$ NMR and FTIR. We found that the glass transition temperature $(T_g)$ of PGIs increased over $30^{\circ}C$ compared to the traditional core materials in POF, PMMA, and they are stable up to $300\sim400^{\circ}C$. PGIs anthesized with ethyl mine show the better heat resistance than those with isopropyl amines. Additionally, they show the comparable transparency and higher refractive index than PMMA. It implies that they can be utilized as the excellent photo-efficient and heat-resistant core materials in POF.

Alignments of photo-reactive mesogen were induced using bare glass substrates without a polymer alignment layer. It was found by using polarized FTIR spectroscopy, polarized microscopy, and birefringence measurement experiments that the reactive mesogen could be aligned along the rubbing direction although the glass substrate without an alignment layer was used. The induction mechanism of the rubbed bare glass is ascribed to that polymers from rubbing clothes are coated on the glass substrate along the rubbing direction and lead the alignment of liquid crystals through intermolecular interactions.

Reactive mesogens were used to prepare photo-cured liquid crystal films in which orientations of liquid crystal molecules were preserved by crosslinked networks of cured reactive mesogens. The molecular orientations of liquid crystal mixtures of photo-reative mesogens and non-reactive nematic liquid crystals were studied and compared before and after curing reactions. The effects of temperature and the amount of the non-reactive nematic liquid crystal in the mixture on birefringence of the liquid crystal films were investigated. It was found that optical compensation films with different birefringence could be prepared by controlling the amount of the nematic liquid crystals in the reactive mesogen mixtures.

유기 고분자는 기존 무기물질의 한계성을 감안해 볼 때, 전기 및 광학적 특성이 우수하여 이에 대한 연구가 매우 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이중에서 Azo 화합물은 특별한 물리적, 광학적 성질과 그 잠재적인 응용성 때문에 계속해서 지금도 많은 관심을 끌고 있다. 그래서 Azo 화합물은 액정과 함께 비선형 광학성질을 가지는 물질에 응용될 수 있으며, 또한 광 유도현상의 이색성(dichroism)및 복굴절(birefringence) 현상 같은 특성을 나타내고 있다.$^{l)2)3)}$ 선형 광학 실험중에서 단순 입사 방법$^{4)}$ 을 이용하여 전기 광학 계수를 측정하였으며, 다시 확장 지수함수(stretched exponential)모델$^{5)}$ 로써 극화(poling)와 완화(relaxation)의 꼴을 보았다.
