대기압 제트 플라즈마는 의료산업 및 재료공정, 정수, 기체흐름 제어 등 다양한 분야에 적용을 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 뿐만 아니라 구동 조건에 따라 다양한 방전 모드가 존재하며, 이에 따라 발생된 플라즈마의 광학적 및 전기적 특성도 매우 다르게 나타나기 때문에 과학적으로도 새로운 현상들이 속속 발표되고 있다. 대기압 제트 플라즈마에서 중요한 과학적 현상 중 하나인 스트리머(streamer) 혹은 플라즈마 총알(plasma bullet)은 수-수십 kHz의 저주파 전압으로 구동 시 특정 조건에서 발생하는 현상으로, 최근 들어 시간분해능이 높은 ICCD 카메라를 이용하여 스트리머의 발생 및 전파에 대한 새로운 현상의 발견과 다양한 물리적 이해가 시도되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 헬륨 대기압 제트 플라즈마에 포함된 질소 함유량에 따른 다중 스트리머의 발생 및 기작의 이해를 시도하였다. 구동 전압 및 주파수, 헬륨기체의 유량, 전극 구조 및 간격 등 모든 조건이 동일한 상태에서 질소기체의 함유량을 증가시킬수록 특정 영역에서 스트리머의 개수가 증가하는 것을 관찰되었다. 또한 $N_2{^+}$의 방출광 세기가 헬륨 및 산소 원자의 방출광보다 지배적인 것으로 측정되었으며, 이는 헬륨 플라즈마에서 흔히 나타나는 헬륨 metastable에 의한 질소분자의 페닝 이온화(Penning ionization) 때문이다. 본 연구팀은 페닝 이온화($He^*+N_2{\rightarrow}He+N_2{^+}+e$)로 인해 추가적으로 발생하는 전자가 다중 스트리머 발생에 중요한 역할을 하는 것이라 제안한다. 좀 더 심화적인 분석을 하고자 헬륨-질소 플라즈마에서 주된 여러 가지 반응식을 이용하여 페닝 이온화에 의한 이온화율 및 전자의 직접적인 충돌에 의한 질소, 헬륨의 이온화율의 계산을 수행하여 특정 영역에서 헬륨의 이온화율보다 질소 페닝 이온화율이 더 커지는 것을 확인하였다.

VLC(Visible Light Communication) is the technology to send and receive data by using visible light that LED emits. The basic principle of VLC is the communication by using flashing(ON/OFF) of the light from the LED that changes electricity to light in short time. As the recent advances in LED technology, VLC is also received a lot of attention and the research about it is in progress actively. Especially, the interest about indoor VLC system is increasing because the visible light can't pass through the wall. In this paper, we compose the indoor SISO VLC system with NRZ-OOK and VPPM modulation schemes. Also, we apply SR-ARQ, a kind of re-transmission error control schemes, to the VLC system. And then, we compare and analyze the performance of communication according to the location of receiver and the type of modulation by using BER, the number of transmission and throughput.

In this paper, an analytical modeling for the dark and photo-current characteristics of a buried-gate short- channel GaAs MESFET is presented. The presented model shows that the increase of drain current under illumination is largely due to not the increase of photo-conductivity in the neutral region but the narrowing effect of the depletion layer width. The carrier density profile within the neutral region is derived from solving the carrier continuity equation one-dimensionally. In deriving the photo-generated current, we assume that the photo-current is compensated with the thermionic emission current at the gate-channel interface. Moreover, the two-dimensional Poisson's equation is solved by taking into account the drain-induced longitudinal field effect. In conclusion, the proposed model seems to provide a reasonable explanation for the dark and photo current characteristics in a unified manner.

We fabricated the GaNLED emitting 400 nm wavelength and improved the optical extraction efficiency by making surface patterns on n-GaN layer and ITO layer above p-GaN. In addition, the light reflection metal under the n and p pad is made and the light reflection metal is installed on the backside of the chip. The light extraction efficiency is increased by 20 % with texturing n-GaN layer and 18% with texturing ITO layer at 20 mA. Compared to planar-surface LED, the light extraction efficiency for surface texturing both n-GaN and ITO is increased by 32% at 20mA.

An agrivoltaic system (AVS) is a system of innovation that comprises productions of photovoltaic power and agricultural crops on the same area. However, the decline in crop yield will be fatally occurred because the pigments of crop absorbs less light energy under AVS. In addtion, the photosynthetic capacity of crop grown under the partial shading of AVS is not well reported. In this study, the electron transport rate (ETR) and non-photochemical fluorescence quenching (NPQ) of soybean and rice under the AVS in Boseong and Naju was investigated using chlorophyll fluorescence measurement. The ETR value of soybean and rice under AVS were not significantly differed by location. It represents that the photophosphorylation rate of the crops is not critically different. It means that the decreases in total photosynthesis under AVS were mostly affected by the amount of light absorbed by leaves. Under AVS the photosynthesis of crops will be lower than field crops grown in open fields. This is because the crops under AVS observed higher NPQ, which means that the available energy cannot distribute to photophosphorylation reaction.

Ultra Violet(UV) is gradually being replaced with LED instead of general UV lamps. However, the light efficiency of UV LED is still lower than that of the general lamp, and the light efficiency is also low. Due to the current environment and technical problems of UV lamps, the LED replacements are gradually being made. In this study, a new package design and analysis were performed to increase the lifetime and performance of UV LEDs. A new packaging for UV LED were designed and implemented. The new packaging for UV LED was constructed to improve light efficiency. And the electrical and optical characteristics were analyzed respectively. To improve the optical efficiency in UV LED package, the Al has been used based on high reflectivity and applying the optimal lens focusing. Compared to the existing silver Ag, the light efficiency was improved by about 30% or more, and it was confirmed that the light output degradation characteristic was improved by about 10% in the newly applied optical device chip.

The aim of this study was to investigate the fluoride release and some mechanical properties including 3-point bending strength, amount of abrasion, surface hardness, water sorption/solubility and cytotoxicity of the newly developed composite resins containing 8, 16, 24 wt% $SrF_2$ glass filler (VF8, VF16, VF24) and four commercially available composite resins, Heliomolar(HE), Verdonfil(VE), Z100(ZH) and Aelitefil(AE). To investigate cytotoxic effect, agar overlay assay was done. Amount of fluoride released into distilled water was measured over a 62-days period from VF8, VF16, VF24 and HE. Results were as follows: 1. Experimental composite resins showed similar mechanical properties to commercial composite resins, but 3-point bending strength and surface hardness of experimental composite resins were inferior to ZH. 2. Over a 62-day Period, the amount of fluoride released was ordered: VF24>VF16>VF8>HE. In experimental composite resins, the amount of fluoride released was 9-23 times greater than HE and seemed to be proportional to the content of $SrF_2$ glass filler. 3. Experimental composite resins and all control composite resins showed mild cytotoxicity. This study showed significantly greater fluoride release from newly developed composite resins than control(HE) and addition of $SrF_2$ glass filler did not decrease mechanical properties or increase cytotoxicity of composite resin. The results from this study imply that newly developed composite resin have adequate mechanical properites, mild cytotoxicity and some potential for secondary caries prevention.

최근 대기압 플라즈마의 활용분야는 기판의 표면처리, 바이오 분야 등에 널리 활용되고 있지만, 현재까지 정립된 대기압 플라즈마 분석법은 광학적, 전기적 방법으로 이를 통해 대기압 플라즈마를 분석하는데 어려움을 겪고 있다. 가장 널리 사용되는 OES(Optical Emission Spectroscopy) 측정법의 경우에는 플라즈마로부터 방출되는 광을 측정하여, 방출 강도로부터 플라즈마 밀도를 얻는데 어려운 점이 있다. 전기적 진단법 중 하나인 랑뮤어 탐침은 주로 진공장비에서만 사용가능하며, 대기압플라즈마에서 직접 접촉하여 플라즈마에 영향을 주어, 플라즈마 밀도를 정확히 측정하기 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 대기압 플라즈마의 캐페시턴스을 측정하여 플라즈마의 밀도를 측정하였다. DC power supply에서 발생된 DC전원을 인버터를 통해서 AC전원으로 변환한 뒤, Ar가스를 석영관에 주입하여 대기압 플라즈마 젯를 발생시켰다. 발생된 대기압 플라즈마를 석영관 외부 전극 사이에 캐패시턴스로 플라즈마 밀도를 측정하였다. Ar 가스 유량에 따라 플라즈마 밀도를 변화를 살펴보았다.

We report the properties of optically pumped stimulated emission at room temperature (RT) from column-III nitride semiconductors of GaN, AlGaN/GaN double heterostructure (DH) and AlGaN/GaInN DH which prepared on a sapphire substrate using an AIN buffer-layer by the nietalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) method. The peak wavelength of the stimulated emission at RT from AIGaN/GaN DH is 369nm and the threshold of excitation pumping power density (P$\_$th/) is about 84kW/cm$\^$2/, and they from AlGaN/GaInN DH are 402nm and 130kW/cm$\^$2/ at the pumping power density of 200kW/cm$\^$2/, respectively. The P$\_$th/ of AIGaN/GaN and AlGaN/GaInN DHs are lower than the single layers of GaN and GaInN due to optical confinement within the active layers of GaN and GaInN, respectively.
