최근 포항 방사광 가속기 연구소에 미세구조 X-선 영상 실험을 위한 5C1 방사광(Synchrtoron Radiation) 빔라인이 건설되었다. 광대역의 에너지 스펙트럼을 가진 방사광 X-선이 물체를 투과한 후 CdWO$_{4}$ scintillator에 의해 가시광선으로 바뀌고, 그 빛을 CCD 카메라로 받아들여 영상을 획득하게 된다. 방사광 X-선은 일반 의료진단용 X-선에 비하여 위상이 일치하고, 평행하며, 그 양이 풍부한 특성들을 갖고 있다. 방사광 영상시스템과 X-선 유방촬영 시스템에서 영상을 획득하여 영상특성들을 비교, 분석하였다. 고-분해능 X-선 시험 패턴(20 line pairs mm$^{-1}$), 유방촬영 팬텀, 파라핀에 고정한 인체 유방암조직과 포르말린에 고정한 인체 유방암조직, 그리고 capillary tube내 micro-bubbles등의 방사광 영상은 기존의 X-선 유방촬영시스템에서 얻은 영상보다 분해능이 뛰어나고 영상질도 우수하였다. 방사광 X-선 영상시스템은 micrometer 공간 분해능 영상을 획득할 수 있어 많은 기초분야의 영상연구와 의료영상분야에서도 활발하게 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

국내 최초의 대형 가속기 시설인 포항방사광 가속기(Pohang Light Source)가 1995년 9월을 기점으로 일반 User들을 위하여 방사광을 제공하기 시작하였다. 포항방사광 가속기는 전자를 2.0GeV까지 가속시키는 선형 가속기와 가속된 전자를 원형 궤도에 저장 하는 전자저장링, 전자가 방출하는 방사광을 실험 지역까지 끌어내는 빔라인으로 이루어져 있다. PLS는 입자들을 충돌시켜 그 구성 물질을 찾아내는 Collider가 아니라 전자에서 방출되는 빛을 사용하기 위한 광원(Light Source)이다. 이미 전세계적으로 운전 중인 Light Source가 여러개 있지만 PLS는 방사광의 활용만을 목적으로 설계 제작 되었다. 따라서 기존의 광원보다 낮은 Beam Emittance를 가지고 있고 삽입 장치를 설치할 수 있는 직선 구간을 많이 보유하고 있다는 .larw. 면에서 기존의 광원과는 구별 하여 3세대 광원이라고 부른다. 3세대 방사광 가속기에 사용되는 전자석은 전자가 저장링을 수백억번 이상을 회전할 동안 안정된 전자 궤도를 보장하여야 하므로 전자석들끼리의 Fundamental 성분의 에러 및 한 전자석에서 허용되는 다극 에러가 아주 작아야 한다. 또 허용되는 에러들이 작기 때문에 그것들을 분간하기 위한 자장 측정 장치 또는 매우 정밀하여야 한다. 이 보고서에서는 이런 Tolerance를 만족시키기 위한 전자석의 설계, 제작, 측정에 대하여 설명하였다.

In this paper, we have designed TDL(True-time Delay Line) for eliminating beam-squint occurring in active phased array antenna with large electrical size operated in wide bandwidth, and have tested its electrical performance. The proposed TDL device is composed of 4-bit microstrip delay line structure and MMIC amplifier for compensation of the delay-line loss. The measured results of gain and phase versus delay state satisfy the electrical requirements, also P1dB output power and noise figure meet the requirement. To verify the performance of fabricated TDL, we have simulated the beam patterns of wide-band active phased array antenna using the measured results and have certified the beam pattern compensation performance. As a result of simulated beam pattern compensation with respect to the 675.8 mm size antenna which is operated in X-band, 800 MHz bandwidth, we have reduced the beam squint error of ${\pm}1^{\circ}$ with ${\pm}0.1^{\circ}$. So this TDL module is able to be applied to active phase array antenna system.

Bathymetry sounding or water depth measurement is becoming more and more sophisticated with the increasing demand in accuracy, resolution and coverage in the recent years. Single beam echo sounding is still utilized to gather single line bathymetric profile in many surveys as ever, although there is an increasing demand for multi-beam echo sounding. Single beam echo sounder system acquires single line profiles of water depth as the vessel travel along the survey line. In this study, we performed single beam echo sounding with GNSS receiver for hydrographic survey at Namgang dam basin to calculate pure sediment. Unlike traditional research, we used not field reference station but NTRIP service of the reference station of DGNSS(Differential Global Navigation Satellite System) Central Office in this GNSS survey. The calculation results show that scouring volume is $603,650m^3$, sediment volume is $3,913,750m^3$ and so pure sediment volume is $3,310,100m^3$ at Namgang dam basin. And the availability of the NTRIP service of the DGNSS Central Office for echo sounding in land area has been confirmed in this study.

In this paper, a deformation measurement technology of the nuclear fuel rod is proposed. The deformation measurement system include high definition CCD or CMOS image sensor, lens, semiconductor laser line beam marker, and optical & mechanical accessories. The basic idea of the deformation measurement is to illuminate the outer surface of the fuel rod with collimated laser line beam at an angle of 45 degrees or higher. The relative motion of the fuel rod in the horizontal direction causes the illuminated laser line beam to move vertically along the surface of the fuel rod. The resulting change of laser line beam position in the surface of the fuel rod is imaged as the parabolic beam in the high definition CCD or CMOS image sensor. From the parabolic beam pattern, the ellipse model is extracted. And the slope of the long and the short axis of the ellipse model is found. The crossing point between the saddle point of the parabolic beam and the long & short axis of the ellipse model is taken as the feature of the deformed fuel rod. The vertical offset between feature points before and after fuel rod deformation is calculated. From the experimental results, $50\;{\mu}m$ inspection resolution is acquired using the proposed method, which is three times enhanced than the conventional criterion ($150\;{\mu}m$) of the guide for the inspection of the nuclear fuel rod.

Multizeros(multiple order zeros) optical beams which belong to the Laguerre-Gaussian beams, have rotational phase and conically-shaped amplitude structures around multizeros points in their phase and amplitude profiles, respectively. Especially, they have their own characteristics that the multizero points do not vanish over free-space propagation. Therefore, they are expected to be adequate for the applications of long-range optical measurement by using their multizero points as optical markers for the deformation sensing. In this paper, fundamental properties of multizeros optical beams for long-range optical measurement applications are investigated and clarified. In particular, the mathematical investigations are described on the characteristics of multizeoros optical beams such as (1) separation of a multizero into isolated single order zeros, (2) topological charge of zeros distribution which are induced by superposing them. And also the outline of a fundamental experiment and its result are explained briefly.

For the reduction of fabrication cost and process time of AC plasma display panel (PDP), indium tin oxide (ITO) layer was patterned as bus electrode using Nd:$YVO_4$ laser. In comparison with the chemically wet etched ITO patterns, laser ablated ITO patterns showed the formation of shoulders and ripple-like structures at the edge of the ITO lines. For the reduction of shoulders and ripple-like structures, pulse repetition rate and scan velocity of laser was changed. In addition, we analyzed a discharge characteristic of PDP test panel to observe how the shoulders and ripple-like structures influence on the PDP. Based on experimental results, the pattern etched at the 500 mm/s and 40 kHz was better than any other condition. From this experiment we could see the possibility of the laser direct patterning for the application to the patterning of ITO in AC-PDP.

In this paper, we propose a 3D shape restoration system which measures height and surface shape of transparent ITO glass and delivers errors in focal length and incident angle of laser beam to femto-second laser micromachining. The proposed system is composed of a line scan laser, a high resolution camera, a linear motion guide synchronized to image capturing, and a control station. Also, we define the sensitivity indices that represent a relation between measurement error and a position of a camera and scan laser, and utilize it for optimum design. The results of the proposed system are compared with results of SPM(Scanning Probe Microscope) and prove the usefulness of the system.

X-선 혹은 감마선 등 종래의 방서선 치료는 양성자 혹은 이온에 의한 치료방법의 등장함에 따라 퇴조할 것으로 보인다. 그 이유는, 양성자 등 전하를 띄는 입자치료기술이 치료 후 후유증이나 암의 재발을 현저히 억제시킬 수 있기 때문이다. 전하를 띄는 입자는 암 조직 전후의 정상 조직에 최소한의 피폭을 주나, X-선이나 감마선과 같은 광자들은 암 조직 전후의 정상세포가 암세포로 변화될 수 있는 정도의 피폭량을 주는 것으로 알려져 있다. 현재 임상 중인 양성자(혹은 극히 일부의 탄소이온 치료기)치료기는 1990년 미국의 로마린다(Loma Linda) 대학에서 최초로 건립된 방식인 사이클로트론 혹은 싱클로트론 가속기와 빔라인 및 겐트리(gantry)로 구성된다. 그 장치의 거대함만큼이나 가격과 유지비 등에서 일반 소형병원에서 운영하기에는 쉽지 않아 보인다. 이에 본고에서는 소형병원에서도 운영할 수 있는 저비용의 레이저 양성자(이온) 가속방식의 등장 배경과 향후 전망을 논하고자 한다.
