Wave propagation in gyrotropic or anisotropic medium is analyzed in terms of the eigenmodes of the medium, which are admixture of TE and TM waves. The field composition and the phase velocity of the modes are also determined. The results of the analysis are applied to thin film optical waveguide using such medium as substrate and/or film. Based on the characteristic equations for phase constants of the waveguide, the condition for TE-TM mode convection is derived, and wave propagation in the guide is represented in the form of Jones matrix, which allows a new interpretation in the conversion efficiency of the thin-film optical waveguides.

ZnO는 직접 천이형 반도체로써, 상온에서 3.4eV에 해당하는 띠틈을 가지고 있다. 뿐만 아니라 60meV의 큰 엑시톤 결합에너지를 가지고 있어 단파장 광전 소자 영역의 LED(Light Emitting Diode)나 LD(Laser Diode)에 널리 사용되고 있다. 하지만 일반적으로 격자틈새 Zn(Zni2+)이온이나 O 빈자리(V02+)이온과 같은 자연적인 도너 이온이 존재하여 n-형 전도성을 나타낸다. 그러므로 ZnO계 LED와 LD의 개발에 있어서 가장 중요한 연구 과제는 재현성 있고 안정된 고농도의 p-형 ZnO박막을 성장시키는 것이다. 하지만, 자기보상효과나 얕은 억셉터 준위, 억셉터의 낮은 용해도로 인하여 어려움을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고품질의 p-형 ZnO박막을 제작하기 위해 AlN를 도핑시킨 ZnO박막을 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링 법을 이용하여 Ar과 O2분위기에서 성장시켰다. ZnO와 AlN타겟을 동시에 사용하였으며, ZnO타겟에 걸어준 RF 파워는 80W, AlN타겟에 걸어준 RF 파워는 5~20W로 변화시켰다. 박막의 전기적, 광학적 특성은 XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy), REELS (Reflection Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy), XRD (X-ray Diffraction), SIMS (Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry), AES (Auger Electron Spectroscopy), Hall measurement를 이용하여 연구하였다. XPS측정결과, AlN를 도핑시킨 ZnO박막의 Zn2p3/2와 O1s피크는 undoped ZnO박막의 피크보다 낮은 결합에너지에서 측정되었다. 모든 박막이 결정화 되었으며, (002)방향으로 우선적으로 성장된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 홀 측정 결과, 기판을 $200^{\circ}C$로 가열하면서 성장시킨 박막이 p-형을 나타내었으며, 비저항(Resistivity)이 $5.51{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}{\cdot}m$, 캐리어 농도(Carrier Concentration)가 $1.96{\times}1018cm^{-3}$, 이동도(Mobility)가 $481cm^2$/Vs이었다. 또한 QUEELS -Simulation에 의한 광학적 특성분석 결과, 가시광선영역에서 투과율이 90%이상으로 투명전자소자로의 응용이 가능하다는 것을 보여주었다.

We investigate the optical and electrical properties of silver nanofilms deposited on transparent substrates such as quartz, sapphire, and slide glass treated with (3-mercaptopropyl) trimethoxysilane (MPTMS). The effect of MPTMS treatment on physical properties is studied through scanning electron microscope (SEM) images, UV-visible transmission, and current-voltage measurements. The SEM images show morphology change of the silver nanofilm, and the UV-visible transmission spectra reveal that the localized surface-plasmon resonance effect is reduced due to the morphology change. These results imply that the uniformity of silver nanofilm is improved by MPTMS treatment for various transparent substrates, resulting in a 100-fold decrease in the electrical resistance of the silver nanofilm.

The origin for the charge disproportionation (CD) transition in polycrystalline $La_{1/3}Sr_{2/3}FeO_{2.96}$ was examined using X-ray diffraction and the external field $M\ddot{o}ssbauer$ssbauer spectroscopy. In order to see how the external magnetic field affects the CD state above its transition temperature, an external magnetic field of up to 6 T was applied either parallel or perpendicular to the $\gamma-ray$ direction with the sample temperature fixed at 225 K, which was above the CD transition temperature. Without an external magnetic field, a completely paramagnetic singlet was obtained in the temperature range of the averaged valence state above the transition temperature, which was interpreted as coming from the average valence $Fe^{3.6+}$. In the longitudinal geometry, a magnetic Zeeman with its intensity ratio 3:0:1:1:0:3 is superimposed to the central singlet. In the transverse geometry, however, the central singlet disappears and only a magnetic component with its intensity ratio 3:4:1:1:4:3 emerges. The existence of a singlet is understood as an evidence of the fast electron-transfer among Fe ions. Since the singlet still exists under the magnetic field, the application of an external field has little effect on the conduction mechanism of hopping electrons.

We measured the terrestrial nightglow of OI $6300{\AA}$ in the thermosphere (~250km) using a ground-based Fabry-Perot interferometer at the King Sejong Station, Antarcticfrom March through September, 1997. The King Sejong Station is located at high latitude geographically ($62.22^{\circ}S,\;301.25^{\circ}E$) but at mid latitude geomagnetically ($50.62^{\circ}S,\;7.51^{\circ}E$). It is therefore the strategic location to measure the temperatures of the thermosphere in the Southern Hemisphere associated with both solar and geomagnetic activities. In this study, we analyzed the observed temperatures inrelation to F10.7 and Kp indices to examine the effect of the solar and the geomagneticactivities on high-latitude neutral thermosphere. During the observing period, the solaractivity was at its minimum. The measured temperatures are usually in the range between about 600~1000 K with some seasonal variation and are higher than those predicted by semi-empirical model, VSH (Vector Spherical Harmonics) and empirical model, MSIS (Mass-Spectrometer-Incoherent-Scatter)-86.

A robust, accurate, broad-band, alternating current sensor using fiber-optics is being developed as a part of optical over current protection relay system. The sensor uses the Faraday effect in optical fiber and polarimetric measurements tc sense electrical current. The current sensing coil consists of a length of twisted optical fiber and Faraday rotator mirror to suppress the linear birefringence effect. Due to its single-ended closed path structure, it can not only be easily installed to the target with great isolation from other fields in the vicinity, but the sensitivity can be increased by using multiple turns. This paper reports on the theoretical backgrounds of the sensor design and the preliminary experimental results.

In this paper, the polarization properties of spun fiber due to intrinsic birefringence and magneto-optic effects are theoretically analyzed and experimented. The degree of polarization which indicates the intrinsic birefrigence is measured over 0.818, and the variation of output polarization angle with input polarization angle is measured within 9$^{\circ}$. Compared with single mode fiber, spun fiber is found to have very excellent polarization-maintaining property. Implemented current measurement system using spun fiber can linearly measure the magnetic field up to 20,000 A/m generated by solenoid.

Near-infrared (NIR) absorbing dyes have been applied to various applications such as optical filters, biotechnology, energy storage and conversion, coating additive, and traditionally information-storage materials. Because image sensors used in cellphones and digital cameras have sensitivity in the NIR region, the NIR cut-off filter is essential to achieving more clear images. As energy storage and conversion have been important, diverse NIR absorbing materials have been developed to extend the absorption region to the NIR region, and NIR absorbing materials-based research has proceeded to improve device performances. Adding NIR-absorbing dye with a photo-thermal effect to a self-healable coating system has been attractive for future mobility technology, and more effective self-healing properties have been reported. In this report, the chemical structures of representative NIR-absorbing dyes and state of the art research based on NIR-absorbing dyes are introduced.

As the risk of landslide is recently increasing due to the typhoons and localized heavy rains, effective techniques for the landslide damage detection are required to support the establishment of the recovery planning. This study describes the analysis of landslide-damaged areas using ISODATA(Iterative Self-Organizing Data Analysis Technique Algorithm) with Sentinel-2 image, regarding the case of Gokseong in August 7, 2020. A total of 4.75 ha of landslide-damaged areas was detected from the Sentinel-2 image using spectral characteristics of red, NIR(Near Infrared), and SWIR(Shortwave Infrared) bands. We made sure that the satellite remote sensing is an effective method to detect the landslide-damaged areas and support the establishment of the recovery planning, followed by the field surveys that require a lot of manpower and time. Also, this study can be used as a reference for the landslide management for the CAS500-1/2(Compact Advanced Satellite) scheduled to launch in 2021 and the Korean Medium Satellite for Agriculture and Forestry scheduled to launch in 2024.
