In this paper, we propose a simple and low-cost fabrication method of polymer microlens using solvent-vapor-assisted reflow (SVAR). Metal molds for replication of polymer were fabricated using micro milling and the cylindrical shape of polymer was imprinted using hot-embossing process. The cylindrical shape of polymer was changed to hemispherical lens shape by SVAR. The characteristics of fabricated microlens were evaluated according to the condition of SVAR such as temperature and time. The focal length of polymer microlens could be controlled more easily in low-temperature and long-time condition than in high-temperature and short-time condition. That is, the level of concentrated light to focal point could be improved through the control of temperature and time. Also, we confirmed that toluene was more appropriate solvent than acetone in fabrication of PMMA polymer microlens using SVAR.

자연채광 시스템은 자연광의 건물 실내 유입을 통한 실내조명에 상당히 효율적으로 적용될 수 있다. 특히, 건물에서 사용되는 에너지 중 28%는 조명에너지에 사용되는 점을 감안하면, 인공조명에의 의존도를 낮출 수 있는 자연채광시스템의 역할은 상당히 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 최근 국내에 보급된 다양한 추적식 자연채광시스템(Active Daylighting System)의 특성 및 이용 현황에 대한 조사와 분석을 수행하였다.

This study deals with the development of the extended Kalman filter(EKF) algorithm for the localization of underwater mining vehicles. Both simulation and experimental studies in a test bed are carried out. For the experiments, a scale dawn tracked vehicle is run in a soil bin containing cohesive soil of bentonite-water mixture. To develop the EKF algorithm, we use a kinematic model including the inner/outer track slips and the slip angle for the vehicle. The measurements include the inner and outer wheel speeds from encoders, the heading angle from a compass sensor and a fiber optic rate gyro, and x and y coordinate position values from a vision system. The vision sensor replaces the LBL(Long Base Line) sonar system used in the real underwater positioning situations. Artificial noise signals mimicking the real LBL noise signal are added to the vision sensor information. To know the mean slip values of the tracks in both straight and cornering maneuver, several trial running experiments are executed before applying the EKF algorithm. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the EKF algorithm in rejecting the sensor measurements noise. Also, the simulation and experimental results show close correlations.

CPV system in the desert areas or areas near the equator, as is suitable for high-temperature region. As compared to silicon solar cells, CPV system have a high proportion of a BOS (balance of system). Solar cells because of its low proportion when designing a module technology is applied in a variety of ways. Applied to the CPV system is classified into two kinds of optical technology. One of those using fresnel lens uses refraction of light energy. The other is a mirror reflection of the structure using sprays. Both of these two ways to condense the sun to collect solar cell is a form of light. And goals by using a small solar cell materials is to produce more energy. This research proposes rational design approach to calculate proper system capacity in consideration of the aforementioned factors in CPV system.

본 연구에서는 태양광 발전의 효율을 향상시키기 위하여 발전시스템의 태양추적에 기초가 되는 태양 추적 장치를 설계하였다. 태양광발전분야에서는 셀의 발전특성 향상을 위한 연구와 함께 태양에너지의 효과적인 집광을 위한 연구가 다양하게 진행되고 있다. 일사량은 지역에 따라 차이가 발생하는 요소로 발전효율을 증대시키기 위해서는 발전 장치의 설치장소가 달라져야 한다는 제약이 있는 반면, 발전 셀 단면이 태양과 이루는 각도는 발전장치의 기구부를 회전시킴으로서 태양과 이루는 각도를 가변 할 수 있는 장치를 개발하고 실험을 통하여 발전 효율 향상 성능을 확인하였다.

비선형 Kerr 매질을 통과하는 Gaussian 빔에 대해 aberration-free approximation과 Huygens-Fresnel 회절 이론을 적용하여 Z-scan 투과율에 대한 해석해를 유도하였다. 비정질 $As_2S_3$ 박막에 대해 Z-scan 실험을 수행하였으며 이론과 비교하여 잘 일치함을 알았다. 633nm 파장에서 측정된 비선형 굴절률${\gamma}$의 크기와 기호 $+8.65{\times}10^{-6}\textrm{cm}^2/W$이며, 또한 먼 영역(far-field)에서 빔 세기분포를 측정하여 자기 집광(self-focusing)효과를 가시적으로 확인하였다.

Since the direct normal insolation is a main factor for designing any solar thermal power system, it is necessary to evaluate its characteristics all over the country. We have begun collecting direct normal insolation data since December 1992 at 16 different locations and considerable effort has been made for constructing a standard value from measured data at each station. KIER(Korea Institute of Energy Research)'s new data will be extensively used by solar thermal concentrating system users or designers as well as by research institutes. From the results, we can conclude that 1) Yearly mean $2.67kWh/m^2/day$ of the all day's direct normal insolation was evaluated for all days all over the 16 areas in Korea. 2) All day's direct normal insolation of spring and summer were $2.91kWh/m^2/day$ and $2.23kWh/m^2/day$, and for fall and winter their values were $2.78kWh/m^2/day$ and $2.77kWh/m^2/day$ respectively. So, spring, fall and winter were higher, and summer was lower than the yearly mean value.

Multimedia has created a system environment that needs a combination of diverse peripherals, faster I/O, and easier configuration. The sheer volume of data one can expect with multimedia hardware and applications storage systems of higher capacity and faster data transfer rate. Unlike the magneto-optical(MO)disk technology which uses bias magnetic field in writing, both the reading and the writing in the phase change (PC) technology are performed only by laser light. In PC optical media, an active layer is reversibly converted between amorphous state and crystalline state by changing irradiation conditions of focused laser beam. Thus, as compared with MO disk, the PC disk has such great advantages that signals can be reproduced by change of reflectance of laser beams in the same manner as the compact disc. The reflectivity of a phase-change spot can be altered in a single pass under the head only through modulation of laser power. The principles and the current status of phase-change optical recording media combined with possible applications are discussed in the present article.

서브-미크론 주기의 미세한 회절 격자가 새겨진 도광판을 이용하여 빛을 수직으로 출사시켜 기존 방식에서 사용하는 집광용 프리즘 필름을 대체할 수 있는 가능성에 대하여 연구하였다. 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 최적 회절 격자 주기를 결정하였고, 입사되는 빛의 고도각과 방위각에 따라 회절 격자의 투과 모드 효율을 계산하였다. 또한, 회절에 의해 더 많은 빛을 추출할 수 있도록 도광판의 모양과 구성을 제안하여 고도각과 방향각을 최적화하는 두 가지 방식의 효과를 시뮬레이션으로 비교하였다. 광선 추적프로그램을 활용하여 회절 격자 각인 도광판의 휘도 각 분포를 계산하여 실제로 제작된 시제품의 위치별 휘도 각 분포와 비교하였다.

The two-step water splitting thermochemical cycle is composed of the T-R (Thermal Reduction)and W-D (Water Decomposition)steps. The mechanism of this cycle is oxidation-reduction, which produces hydrogen. The reaction temperature necessary for this thermochemical cycle can be achieved by a dish-type solar thermal collector (Inha University, Korea). The purpose of this study is to validate a water splitting device in the field. The device is studied and fabricated by Kodama et al (2010, 2011). The validation results show that the foam device, when loaded with $NiFe_2O_4/m-ZrO_2$powder, was successfully achieved hydrogen production with 9 (10 with a Xe-light solar simulator, 2009, Kodama et al.) repeated cycles under field conditions. Two foam device used in this study were tested for validation before an experiment was performed. The lab scale ferrite-conversion rate was in the range of 24~76%. Two foam devices were designed to for structural stability in this study. In the results of the experiments, the hydrogen percentage of the weight of each foam device was 7.194 and $9.954{\mu}mol\;g^{-1}$ onaverage, and the conversion rates 4.49~29.97 and 2.55~58.83%, respectively.
