We designed and fabricated a compact multi-mode interference (MMI) wavelength demultiplexer using the concept of 'Improved Quasi-State' modes. The output power and extinction ratio were improved by utilizing modal phase error which is specially occurred in low-index contrast. For a designed demultiplexer, the mode propagation analysis with effective index approximation shows significant improvement of extinction ratio to -25 dB for both $1.31{\mu}m\;and\;1.51{\mu}m$ wavelength region and the split-length was reduced about 1/5 of other MMI devices. The fabricated device shows successful characteristics for both 1.31 and $1.55{\mu}m$ wavelengths. These results demonstrate the potential of low-index materials system and the embossing process for photonic integrated circuits.

An integrated photonic microwave bandpass filter has been proposed and demonstrated incorporating a coherently coupled microring resonator in low-loss polymers. The proposed device may feature compact site, simple structure, tuning via the thermooptic and electrooptic effect, and flexible integration with other electrical and optical devices. The resonator was designed to have an extremely small bandwidth so that it could be used to selectively pass the optical signal carrying the microwave signal to attain efficient bandpass filtering. We made and tested two resonators with a single ring and double rings, and performed a theoretical fitting of their measured transfer curves to predict the performance of the microwave filters based on them precisely. It was found that as the number of the rings used for the resonator increases, the bandwidth gets smaller, the rolloff sharper, and the band rejection higher. Finally our filter exhibited the center frequency of 10GHz, the 3-dB bandwidth of 1.0GHz, the corresponding quality (Q) factor of 10, and the rejection outside of the passband of more than 25dB.

This study was performed to determine the best fermentation soil in vanishing composting of individual residence garbage. At the result, temperature, weight, water content, volatile solid were reduced gradually by reaction of microorganism in the reactors after food was inserted for 9 days. The vanishing possibility was observed in all reactors. The best reactor was F and 4 that seeded microorganisms which were provided at S University. In addition it was possible to shorten cycle of putting in food waste. Inactivated reactors will be bad because of increased water content for long reaction time. Sodium chloride was accumulated and not vanished as time passed. But reactor was not insulated, the activities of microorganism in the reactor were affected highly by cold weather(about less than $12^{\circ}C$). When the study was extended to find out the feasibility of application, the retention time could be shortened to 3days form 9 days, when the microorganism reactor that used the fermentation soil seeded microorganisms which were provided at S University was maintained about $20^{\circ}C$.

In the face of an impending demographic cliff, this research delves into geographical disparities in socioeconomic statuses and living arrangements of young single women in rental housing and also to explore influential factors of their residential assessment and housing expenditure. From the Korean Housing Survey of 2020, the cross-sectional study identified 847 unmarried female single-person householders aged between 20 and 39 in four districts - Seoul and Gyeonggi-Incheon Area (GIA) of Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA), and metropolises and non-metropolises of non-SMA. The empirical analyses revealed that regardless of regions, most of the respondents were college-educated, salaried employees in late 20s living in a studio flat, seldom bore debt and barely relied on social services. Renters in SMA, employment rate, income and living expenses were higher than those in non-SMA and they resided in small, old but adequate housing with a separate bedroom. In particular, Seoulites suffered from housing cost overburden but most singles in GIA benefited from the lowest housing burden. While the main determinant of residential assessment was livability, housing satisfaction was additionally affected by old housing and the satisfaction with residential environment was also explained by urban amenities. Despite geographical variations, housing expenditure was primarily driven by income and employment.

A post-irradiation annealing study was conducted with use of reactor pressure vessel(RPV) steel A533B Cl.1 base metal irradiated to a dose of 4.84$\times$10$^{18}$ n/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at about 38$0^{\circ}C$. Microhardness and positron annihilation (PA) methods were used to obtain better understanding of the recovery of radiation hardening. Isochronal anneal experiments indicated that two recovery processes occur during annealing of irradiated specimens. The first recovery process occurs in the temperature range of 280-3O5$^{\circ}C$, Michrohardness and positron annihilation (PA) methods were used to obtain better understanding of the recovery of radiation hardening. Isochronal anneal experiments indicated that two recovery processes occur during annealing of irradiated specimens. The first recovery process occurrs in the temperature range of 280-305$^{\circ}C$. The variations of Ip, Iw and R parameters indicated that the formation of vacancy clusters by vacancy agglomeration and the annihilation of monovacancies are the first recovery process. The second recovery process occurs in the range of 405-49$0^{\circ}C$ and positron annihilation parameters measured indicated that the dissolution of carbon atoms decorated around vacancy-type defects and possible precipitates, and the annihilation of monovacancies give rise to the second recovery process. It was further indicated that radiation anneal hardening (RAH) in the range of 305-405$^{\circ}C$ between the temperature ranges for the two processes occurs due to the formation of carbon-decorated vacancy clusters and precipitates. The activation energies, orders of reaction and other characteristics of recovery processes were determined by the Meechan-Brinkman method. The activation energy for the first recovery process was determined as 1.76 eV and that for the second recovery process as 2.00eV. These values are lower than those obtained by other workers. This difference may be attributed to the lower copper content of the RPV steel used in the present study. The order of reaction for the first recovery process was determined as 1.78, while that for the second recovery process as 1.67 Non-integer orders of reaction for recovery processes seem to be attributed to the fact that several mechanisms for the first order and the second order of reaction are compounded in one process. This result also supports for the above conclusions from measurements of PA parameters.

The expansion work that is wasted through the irreversible expansion through the PC valve of decompression process of the natural gas governor station can be recovered by replacing the process by an isentropic expansion. The energy and exergy analyses for the two decompression process models of power producing and current decompression process model are presented. Analysis results showed that the exergy by gas supply is 56.29%, the exergy by producing power is 32.12 % in case of preheating system and 22.52% in case of non-preheating system. The dead exergy at the PCV is generated much more network. As these results, the usefulness of exergy analysis is verified.

식생된 개수로에서 식생의 영향을 파악하기 위해 k-$\in$ 난류 모형을 이용하여 수치모의를 하였다. 식생의 영향을 고려하기 위해 항력항을 추가한 지배방정식을 구성하였으며, 지배방정식을 해석하기 위하여 유한체적법을 사용하였다. 수치모의에서 구한 식생된 개수로의 흐름구조를 기존의 수리실험 결과와 비교하여 비교적 잘 일치함을 확인할 수 있다. 난류의 생성과 소멸을 수치모의한 결과, 부분구간 식생된 경우 식생높이 보다 낮은 구간에서는 후류에 의한 난류 생성이 지배적이며, 식생높이보다 높은 구간에서는 주로 마찰에 의한 난류 생성이 지배적임을 보였다. 기존의 연구들은 식생의 영향을 고려하여 개수로의 흐름을 연구한 예는 드물며, 현재까지 진행되어진 국내의 연구는 난류모형을 이용하여 식생된 개수로에서의 흐름 구조를 모의하였다. 따라서 난류흐름을 모의하는데 가장 보편적인 k-$\in$ 난류모형을 이용하여 식생된 개수로에서 수직방향으로의 흐름구조와 식생의 영향을 해석하는 것은 그 자체로도 의미 있는 연구이며, 앞으로의 환경수리 문제를 해결하기 위해 선행되어야 하는 연구이다. 식생된 개수로에서의 난류구조와 부유사 이동에 대한 식생의 영향을 비정상 1차원 수직모형으로 해석하였으며, 폐합문제를 위해 2-방정식인 k-$\in$ 난류모형을 사용하였다. k-$\in$ 난류모형에 식생에 의한 항력항을 더하여 지배방정식을 구성하였다. 수직방향에 대해 흐름방향 유속 u, 난류에너지 k, 그리고 난류에너지 소산율 $\in$의 분포를 구하고, 부유사에 대한 수송방정식을 풀었다. 식생된 개수로와 식생되지 않은 개수로에서의 유속분포, 난류강도, 레이놀즈 응력 분포와 난류의 생성과 소멸을 구하여 식생이 난류흐름에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.

The present study measured the light transmission to quantify the smoke density(smoke mass concentration) through the doorway in a compartment fire and performed the uncertainty analysis to evaluate the reliability of the measurement technique. The optical light extinction method based on Bourguer's law was applied to estimate the smoke density of doorway exhausting smoke flow in upper layer of a compartment for methane gas fires. The measurement uncertainty of the light extinction measurement was evaluated for the light transmittance, path length, and specific mass extinction coefficient and the expanded uncertainty was estimated about 20% with confidence level of 95%. The mean smoke density through the doorway for the methane fire was calculated for quasi-steady fire and the smoke density linearly increased as the GER increased.

유기발광소자는 빠른 응답속도, 높은 색재현성 및 높은 명암비의 장점을 가지며 차세대 디스플레이로서 소형 및 대형 디스플레이로 각광 받고 있다. 저전압구동 유기발광소자를 제작하기 위해 p-i-n 유기발광소자에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 p형 물질에 대한 연구는 많이 진행 되었으나 n형 유기물질에 대한 연구는 아직까지 진행되고 있지 않다. n형 무기물질로 알칼리 금속을 많이 사용하고 있지만, 공기 중에 쉽게 산화되고 금속 이온의 확산에 의한 발광층 여기자 소멸 효과에 의한 효율 감소문제가 있다. 또한, 무기물질의 높은 증착온도에 따른 유기층의 손상 문제가 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 유기물 n형 물질에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 n형 유기물 도펀트인 bis (ethylenedithio)-tetrahiafulene (BEDT-TTF)를 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (BPhen) 전자수송층에 도핑하여 유기발광소자의 전자 수송 능력을 향상하였다. BEDT-TTF의 낮은 증착온도와 공기 중에 산화가 되지 않으며, 유기물을 사용하기 때문에 발광층 여기자 소멸을 방지할 수 있다. 전자수송층에 도핑된 BEDT-TTF 분자는 산화 반응에 의한 전자 증가에 따른 에너지 장벽을 감소시켜 전자의 주입을 향상하였다. BEDT-TTF의 농도에 따른 유기발광소자의 광학적 및 전기적 특성을 각각 관찰하여 BEDT-TTF의 농도에 따른 전자 수송 향상에 따른 저전압 유기발광소자 구동을 관측하였다.

An electro-optic polymer digital optical switch was fabricated by using a photobleached waveguide and a self-aligned electrode. It features wavelength insensitive operation, fabrication tolerance and flexible design. And its possible advantages include low coupling losses to the fibers and wide bandwidths. For improving its switching performance, the guided mode profiles of the photobleached waveguides were controlled by photobleaching times to achieve optimized coupling in the branch. And the self-aligned electrode was employed to achieve both efficient overlap of the optical and electric fields and easy introduction of the adiabatically tapered electrodes. The measured crosstalks were better than -21dB at 1.32 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 1.55 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, and the extinction ratios of each output port were also more than 20 dB.
