The optical performance of LLF(Lenticular Lens Film)-based backlight was studied by using optical simulation as functions of the aspect ratio and the refractive index of lenticular lenses. In order to perform reliable simulation, the BSDF(bi-directional scattering distribution function) of the scattering dots on the bottom surface of the light guide plate was obtained as a superposition of the Lambertian and the elliptic Gaussian distribution components by comparing the experimental results and the simulation for the luminance distribution on the light guide. Based on this approach, an appropriate BSDF of the scattering dots of the light guide was constructed. The resultant values of the optimized aspect ratio and the refractive were found to be 1.25 and 1.65, respectively. In spite of the hybrid aspects of LLF incorporating both diffusing and collimating functions, the optical performance, in particular the on-axis luminance of LLF-based backlight was inferior by about 20% compared to that of conventional backlights adopting one prism film. However, the combination of two lenticular lens films resulted in comparable luminance gain as well as smooth decrease in the luminance with the viewing angle without exhibiting any side lobes.

The feasibility of replacing the tope cell of pn GaInP homojunction with our GaInP/AlGaInP heterojunction structure in III-V semiconductor multijunction photovoltaic (MJPV) cells having the highest current conversion efficiency was investigated. The performance of photovoltaic (PV) cells grown on $2^{\circ}$ and $10^{\circ}$ off-oriented GaAs substrates were compared to each other. The PV cells on the $10^{\circ}$ off-cut substrate showed higher short-circuit current density ($J_{sc}$) and conversion efficiency values than that of using the $2^{\circ}$ one. For $2{\times}2mm^2$ area PV cell on $10^{\circ}$ off substrate, the $J_{sc}$ of $9.21mA/cm^2$ and the open-circuit voltage of 1.38 V were measured under 1 sun illumination. For $5{\times}5mm^2$ cell on $10^{\circ}$ off substrate, the conversion efficiency was decreased from 6.03% (1 sun) to 5.28% (20 sun) due to a decrease in fiill factor (FF).

We try to find the generalized structural equation that gives a perspective understanding for telecentric lenses through paraxial optical algebraic equations and preconditions from a highly experienced design sense. The equation is named the $f{\theta}$ formula and this formula is applied to single lenses, double Gauss lenses, Cooke triplet lenses and the compound lens composed of a Cooke triplet lens and a double Gauss lens step by step. And this formula is also applied to single fly-eye lenses plus a telecentric lens and double fly-eye lenses plus a telecentric lens in sequence. As a result, we can confirm that this $f{\theta}$ formula leads to intuitive optical design with a structural understanding for telecentric lens systems.

In this paper, we propose a upstream transmission method to extend coverage in visible light communication (VLC) systems. We extend transmission distance by using focused infrared(IR) light emitting diodes(LEDs). Since the focused light covers just limited area, it might have a difficulty in transmitting data if the transmitter and receiver are not properly aligned. To solve this problem, we arrange multiple IR-LEDs in different direction and select a single best performing IR-LED among multiple IR-LEDs. Also, the transmission performance is periodically checked and another IR-LED is reselected to support the required quality of service (QoS) and to minimize battery consumption required by a mobile terminal.

This experimental study represents the results of an analysis on the characteristics of flux density distribution in the focal region of solar concentrator. The characteristics of flux density distributions are investigated to optimally design and position a cavity receiver. This was deemed very useful to find and correct various errors associated with a dish concentrator. We estimated the flux density distribution on the target placed along with focal lengths from the dish vertex to experimentally determine the focal length. It is observed that the actual focal point exists when the focal length is 2.17m. The total integrated power and percent power was 2467W and $85.8\%$, respectively, in the case of small dish, and also 2095W and $79\%$, respectively, in the case of KIERDISH II. As a result of the percent power within radius, approximately $90\%$ of the incident radiation is intercepted by about 0.06 m radius. The minimum radius of receiver in KIERDISH II is found to be 0.15m and approximately $90\%$ of the incident radiation is intercepted by receiver aperture.

Daylighting system is an alternative lighting system using daylight collecting device, light transformer and light diffuser. In this paper, we developed a daylighting system in which the collecting device composed by dual parabolic reflectors, the silica optical fiber adapted to the light transformer and light diffuser made of the polyglass square sheet. We have estimated the system efficiency and general color rendering index(Ra) of the developed system. The system efficiency measured to 23.8% and Ra was revealed as 95. Ra number of the developed system is bigger than the number(65) of the previous fresnel lens based sunlight collector.

Optical sheets with apertures on the opposite side of the substrate are designed and analyzed in order to use them as high efficiency light concentration sheets in LCD edge-lit backlight. Formation of apertures by self-aligning exposure were analyzed for the microlens array sheet, pyramid array sheet, and cone array sheet and the microlens array sheet showed the best performance for the formation of apertures by the self-aligning exposure.

Concentration errors critically affect the performance of solar concentrator, so their evaluation is important to the concentrated solar power technology. However, the evaluation is very challenging because error sources are various and not easy to measure individually. Therefore, the integrated effect of concentration errors is often more interesting and useful for large-scale applications. In the present work, we analytically investigate and classify various concentration error sources and then explain that the effect of various concentration errors can be represented in terms of a root mean square value of reflector surface slope error. We present an indirect approach to assessing the reflector surface slope error by comparing solar flux measurement data with modeling calculations. We apply the approach for solar furnaces with different thermal capacity and investigate its advantages and disadvantages.
