This paper is a part of developing a software that predicts the infrared signal emitted from a ground object by considering solar irradiation. The radiance emitted from a surface can be calculated by using the temperature and optical characteristics of the surface object. The bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) is defined as the ratio of reflected radiance to incident irradiance. It is a very important surface reflection property that decides the reflected radiance from the object. In this paper, the spectral radiance received by a remote sensor over the mid-wave infrared(MWIR), and the long-wave infrared(LWIR) regions are computed and compared each other for several different materials. The results show that the optical surface properties such as the BRDF and the emissivity of the object surface can play a major role in generating the infrared signatures of various objects, and the largest infrared signal may reach up to 10 times the smallest one when the infrared signals obtained from a flat plate with different surface conditions under the sun light.

Wave absorbing system is needed at various kinds of wave basins (wave flume, towing tank, square tank) for the model test related to the ocean engineering. In this paper, the performance of wave absorbing system with new concept is estimated throughout the experiments. Herein, the wave absorbing system is designed by punching plate with a given porosity which is installed horizontally and submerged near the water surface. As the incident wave generated by a wave maker advances above a punching plate, the strong jet flow is formed near a hole of punching plate. As a result, wave energy is dissipated into heat energy, Systematic model tests were conducted at KRISO to verify the performance of the wave absorber using a punching plate. It was found that the reflection coefficient of wave absorber is deeply dependent on both the porosity and the submerged depth of a punching plate. Inclined installation of a punching plate shows better performance than a horizontal one within a certain inclined angle.

Two-dimensional hydraulic experiments were performed to assess the impact of artificial seaweed on wave energy attenuation, and coastal erosion prevention. In this experimental study, erosion geometry and wave reflection coefficients were determined for normal and stormy incident waves, with and without artificial seaweed. The coastline of beaches without artificial vegetation was observed to retreat, and the longshore bar height increased in normal and stormy conditions. Through the introduction of artificial seaweed (of widths 0.8 m, and 1.6 m), the coastline was found to advance in the offshore direction due to material deposition. From these results, it is shown that artificial seaweed alters the cross-section of beaches, such that it is possible to prevent coastline erosion.

The wave spectrum was generated from wave data measured at the Chagwi-do site in Jeju, where a 10MW class floating wave-offshore wind hybrid power generation system will be installed. The latching control technology (Sheng et al.[2015]) was applied in order to improve the extracted power from WEC (Wave Energy Converter), which is heaving in corresponding irregular waves. The peak period as a representative value of irregular waves was used when we determined the latching duration. From the numerical results in the time-domain analysis, the latching control technology can significantly improve the extracted power about 50%.

When a light is projected upon a material, part of its radiant energy is absorbed and the rest is reflected or transmitted according to the nature of the material. The molecules of the substance absorbing a light obtains the radiant energy to make thermal reactions or photochemical reactions. Specially, photochemical reactions by ultraviolet(UV) radiation brings about photochemical degradation such as color change. Because the photochemical damage brings about a devaluation of material and once damaged, it is irretrievable, it is necessary to minimize the damage and conserve the native quality of a material by a protective lighting system. This paper presents the measurement and photochemical damage for UV radiation from light sources. We measured the optical radiations from artificial light sources and daylight, and we analyzed a functional relation between irradiance and UV radiation form the results.

In this paper, a rigorous three-dimensional Monte Carlo approach to simulate the sputter yield as a function of the incident ion energy and the incident angle as well as the atomic ejection distribution of the target is presented. The sputter yield of the target atom (Cu, Al) has been calculated for the different species of the incident atoms with the incident energy range of 10 eV ~ 100 KeV, which coincides with the previously reported experimental results. According to the simulation results, the calculated sputter yield tends to increase with the amount of the energy of the incident atoms. Our simulation revealed that the maximum sputter yield can be obtained for the incident atom with 10 KeV for the heavy ion, while the maximum sputter yield for the light ion is for the incident atoms with an energy less than 1 KeV. The sputter yield increases with angle of incidence and seems to have the maximum value at 68$^{\circ}$. For angular distributions of the sputtered particle, the atoms in the direction normal to the surface increase with angle of incidence. Furthermore, we has conducted the parallel computation on CRAY T3E supercomputer and built a GUI(Graphic User Interface) system running the sputter simulator.

Oscillating Water Column (OWC) device has been widely employed in the wave energy conversion. Wave Focusing Device (WFD) is proposed to be helpful for improving the operating performance of OWC chamber. In the present paper, a Numerical Wave Tank (NWT) using two-phase VOF model is utilized to simulate the generation and propagation of incident regular waves, water column oscillation inside the chamber. The NWT consists of the continuity equation, Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations and two-phase VOF functions. The standard k- turbulence model, the finite volume method, NITA-PISO algorithm and dynamic mesh technique are employed. Effects of WFD on the operating performance of OWC chamber are investigated numerically.

The characteristics of optical absorption in $Al_{0.24}Ga_{0.76}As/GaAs$ multi-quantum wells(MQWs) structure were investigated by using the surface photovoltage(SPV). The Spy features near 1.42 eV showed two overlapping signals. By chemical etching, we found associated with the GaAs substrate and the GaAs cap layer. The Al composition(x=24 %) was determined by Kuech's composition formula. In order to identify the transition energies. the experimentally observed energies were compared with results of the envelope function approximation for a rectangular quantum wells An amplitude variation of the relative Spy intensity from the GaAs substrate, llH, and llL was observed at different light intensities. A variation in the SPY line shape of the transition energies were observed with decreasing tempera­t ture.

Absorbing boundary conditions are used to mitigate undesired reflections that can arise at the model's truncation boundaries. We apply a complex frequency shifted perfectly matched layer (CFS-PML) to elastic wave modeling in the frequency domain. Modeling results show that the performance of our implementation is superior to other absorbing boundaries. We consider the coefficients of CFS-PML to be optimal when the kinetic energy becomes to the minimum, and propose the modified CFS-PML that has the CFS-PML coefficient ${\alpha}_{max}$ defined as a function of frequency. Results with CFS-PML and modified CFS-PML are significantly improved compared with those of the classical PML technique suffering from large spurious reflections at grazing incidence.

We study the amplification properties of an optical amplifier based on a cesium-vapor cell. An optical amplification system including cesium vapor mixed with a buffer gas is built, and its amplification feature is investigated as a function of the size of the incident beam and the temperature of the cesium-vapor cell. We observe that the optical amplification properties, such as amplification factor and extraction efficiency, change significantly depending on the temperature and beam diameter of the pump and seed light. A maximum extraction efficiency of 56% is obtained when the temperature of the cesium cell is 90 ℃, with a 200-㎛ diameter of the pump (500 mW) and seed light (10 mW). The numerical simulation of the amplification properties agrees reasonably with the results obtained from the experiment.
