This research was conducted to estimate the chlorophyll contents of chrysanthemum leaves using SPAD-502 chlorophyll meter under different photoperiod and light intensity. Measurements were done at every third leaf intervals starting from the top of the stem to the bottom at harvest time. SPAD value was highest at 10 hours of photoperiods, followed by 13 and 16 hours of photoperiods. In particular, under short day condition, SPAD value was highest in the young leaves below the flower bud and decreased down the leaf profile. Under long day condition, SPAD value reached maximum at leaves between $15-27^{th}$ from the top and decreased to the minimum immediately below the flower bud (youngest leaf). These results may indicate that the younger leaves become strong source of supporting flowers in reproductive stage, while the younger leaves serve as sinks and older leaves support their development in vegetative stage. Changes of SPAD value at different levels of irradiance showed that highest SPAD value were observed at high irradiance and decreased with decreasing irradiance.

Fluorinated polyimide has excellent light transmittance and a high optical refractive index, and is useful for producing optical-waveguide phase modulators with low optical loss and low electric power consumption. In this work, an optical-waveguide phase modulator is designed and fabricated based on a high-refractive-index fluorinated polyimide, and its characteristics are measured. An efficient protocol for characterizing the loss components of the optical waveguide is proposed, and the propagation loss of the fabricated polyimide optical waveguide is confirmed to be 0.9 dB/cm. The phase modulator requires 9.1 mW of power for phase change of π, and the response time is 290 μs, which is improved by tenfold compared to a previous demonstration of polymeric phase modulators.

After launching the Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) on June 2010, field campaigns were performed routinely around Korean peninsula to collect in-situ data for calibration and validation. Key measurements in the campaigns are radiometric ones with field radiometers such as Analytical Spectral Devices FieldSpec3 or TriOS RAMSES. The field radiometers must be regularly calibrated. We, in the paper, introduce the optical laboratory built in KOSC and the relative calibration method for in-situ measurement spectroradiometer. The laboratory is equipped with a 20-inch integrating sphere (USS-2000S, LabSphere) in 98% uniformity, a reference spectrometer (MCPD9800, Photal) covering wavelengths from 360 nm to 1100 nm with 1.6 nm spectral resolution, and an optical table ($3600{\times}1500{\times}800mm^3$) having a flatness of ${\pm}0.1mm$. Under constant temperature and humidity maintainance in the room, the reference spectrometer and the in-situ measurement instrument are checked with the same light source in the same distance. From the test of FieldSpec3, we figured out a slight difference among in-situ instruments in blue band range, and also confirmed the sensor spectral performance was changed about 4.41% during 1 year. These results show that the regular calibrations are needed to maintain the field measurement accuracy and thus GOCI data reliability.

Using $1024\times1024$ pixels CCD camera of ChungBuk National University Observatory (CBNUO), 62 photometric observations were made on January 11-12, 1993. A time of minimum lights of U Cep was determined as JD Hel 2448999.7274 from our data. On October 21-22 in 1993, CCD photometry in V and R for GW Cephei and V700 Cygni was carried out with 309${\times}$584 pixels cooled CCD system of Behlen Observatory, University of Nebraska-Lincoln (BOUNL) and 168 observations were obtained. From the data times of minimum lights JD Hel 2449282.8485 for GW Cep and JD Hel 2449282.7979 were determined. To developed a new CCD system of CBNUO, the CCD photometry method using at CBNUO is compared with at BOUNL.

Polymeric multi-mode optical waveguides were fabricated for parallel optical interconnection. Waveguide structures were molded by a Ni mold master using a hot embossing technique. The Ni mold master was manufactured by LIGA process. Multimode optical waveguides with a 48$\times$47 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$^2$cross-section were produced by a simple two-step process. The propagation losses of the multimode waveguide measured at 0.85 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 1.3 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ wavelengths were 0.38 dB/cm and 0.66 dB/cm, respectively.

Passive polarization mode splitters at λ= 1.55 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ were designed and fabricated based on Ti:x-cut LiNbO$_3$ single-mode optical waveguide and two-mode interference theory. The splitting ratio with waveguide width 8 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, branching angle 0.55$^{\circ}$ and interfering length 470 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ showed 16.18 dB, 21.25 dB for TE and TM input polarization modes, respectively. Polarization cross-talk of -16.28 dB and -21.28 dB for TE and TM modes was achieved. Total insertion losses of 2.24 dB/cm (TE) and 2.41 dB/cm (TM) were also measured. The devices operated nearly wavelength independently over a range or 30 nm.

A new method that considers the pellet sedimentation characteristics for fungal cell concentration measurement was developed using optical density. Appropriate mixing of the pellet suspension almost homogeneously was tried to prevent the sedimentation of the pellet by a small magnetic bar in cuvette, giving a stable optical density. The linear relationship between optical density and the dry cell weight was obtained. However, different curved lines were observed according to the pellet size. Optical density couldn't be detectable in the size range of $355{\mu}m$above. It was concluded from the result that the use of optical density for measuring cell concentration in fungal broth became possible by considering the characteristics.

광적응(Luminance Adaptation; LA) 효과는 영상의 배경 밝기에 따른 왜곡에 대한 시각 인지 민감도가 달라지는 특성을 의미한다. 기존 영상 화질 측정(Image Quality Assessment; IQA) 방법들은 베버의 법칙(Weber' s law) 모델을 이용하여 LA 효과를 IQA 방법에 반영해왔다. 그러나, 이러한 IQA 방법들에 있어서 베버의 법칙 기반 LA 효과 모델은 다음 두 가지 이유로 부정확하게 동작한다: (i) 전통적인 베버의 법칙 모델은 실제 광도(luminance)에 대한 인지 민감도 응답값을 정확히 반영할 수 없다는 것이 밝혀졌다, (ii) 대부분 IQA 방법들은 픽셀 강도 영역에서 계산되지만, 베버의 법칙과 같은 LA 효과 모델들은 광도 영역에서 개발되었다. 따라서 광도와 픽셀 강도간 비선형 관계로 인해 IQA 방법에 반영된 베버의 법칙 기반 LA 효과 모델들은 부정확하게 동작한다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해, 본 논문에서 처음으로 픽셀 강도 영역에서의 LA 모델을 이론적으로 유도한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 픽셀 강도 영역에서의 LA 효과 모델은 감마 교정 함수(Gamma correction function)와 광도 영역에서의 LA 효과 모델인 제곱-법칙(power-law) 모델을 기반으로 하는 테일러 급수 확장 근사화를 통해 유도된다. 제안하는 픽셀 강도 영역 LA 효과 모델의 효과를 검증하기 위해, 제안하는 LA 효과 모델을 PSNR 에 도입하여 광범위한 실험을 수행한다. 실험 결과, 제안하는 LA 효과 모델 기반 PSNR 은 PSNR 및 베버의 법칙 기반 PSNR 대비 괄목할 만한 주관적 화질 예측 성능 향상을 보였다.

Fabrication process of strain-induced channel waveguides in $LiNbO_3$ was developed using strain-optic effect and compressional strain due to ~1.4 $\mu\textrm{m}$ surface Mo/Pt metal film. Characterization of the channel waveguides revealed a single transverse and depth mode in both TE and TM polarizations. Measurements showed total insertion loss of 6.2 and 7.7 ㏈/cm for TM and TE polarizations. respectively. Electro-optic intensity modulators with 11 mm long electrode length and 21 $\mu\textrm{m}$ electrode gap at $\lambda$ = 1.15 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$have been produced in $LiNbO_3$ substrates using strain-induced channel waveguides. Modulation depth of 100% at $\pi$-radian voltage of 16.1V has been demonstrated. Also, 1$\times$2 on/off power splitters at $\lambda$ = 0.63 $\mu\textrm{m}$ have been produced using strain-induced channel waveguides. On/off voltage of $\pm$ 25V has been demonstrated.
