A small water phantom (dual-window phantom) was developed to improve the output measurement efficiency of medical linacs. This phantom is suitable for determining the quality index and output dose for high-energy photon beams. The phantom has two opposite windows and two independently rotating axes. The two axes measure the tissue phantom ratio (TPR) and the percentage depth dose (PDD) simply without requiring chamber movement by rotating the phantom around its axis. High-energy photon beams from a Co-60 irradiator and a medical linac were used to evaluate the phantom. The measured quality index is in good agreement with the reference values; the measured and reference values are within 0.2% of each other for the Co-60 gamma rays and within 1.4% for 6 and 10 MV X-rays. This phantom is more practical for routine output measurements, resulting in the prevention of potential human errors.

본 논문에서는 USN 시스템 구현을 하기 위한 노드 감지기를 설계하고 성능을 분석하였다. 온도 응답특성에서 USN 노드는 100ms 이후에 안정된 특성을 보였고, ZF5585는 50ms 이후 안정되나 이후 출력이 안정되지 않고 빠른 출력을 내보내지 못하는 문제점이 개선되었다. 온도시간의 측정결과 USN 노드는 PT100에 비해 온도 측정시간이 균일하게 나타났고 측정시간도 짧았다.

A light deflector integrated laser diode(LD) was fabricated and the characteristics of LD and ourput beam deflection as a function of deflector injection current were measured. To integrate the deflector with LD, a passive waveguide was integrated with the LD and a triangular-type light deflector was fabricated on the upper clad of the passive waveguide section. Light deflection from the fabricated light deflector is controlled by the effective refractive index variation induced by carrier injection. To characterize the effect of the deflector injection current, threshold current, slope efficiency, and output beam spectrum were measured as a function of deflector injection current. From these measured data, the increment in the threshold current and the decrement of the slope efficiency were observed. However, the output beam spectrum was not affected by the deflector. The Beam Propagation Method(BPM) was used to simulate the proposed device and the light deflection was measured by the far-field pattern of the output beam as a function of the deflector injection current. In the fabricated deflector integrated LD, the deflection angle of 1.9$^{\circ}$ at the injection current of 15 ㎃ was obtained.

In this paper, we proposed the transmit beam measurement method of active phased array antenna, which is installed in Korea's first developed naval medium range radar, using near-field measurement facility. The pulse-mode high power characteristics of active phased array antenna's trasmit-beam make it difficult to measure with general near-field measurement facilities where low power continuous RF signals are used. Thus, in this paper, the measurement method of active phased array antenna's transmit beam in conjunction with the near-field measurement facility, which is suitable for the high-power transmit beam measurement, and PNA-X network analyzer(Agilent Technologies), which can support pulse-mode measurement, was proposed and measured by near-field measurement techniques. And the EIRP(Effective Isotropic Radiated Power), the transmit characteristic of active phased array antenna, was measured by the near field measurement techniques and compared to numerical estimation which was nearly equal with small difference of 0.1 dB.

We demonstrate a laser power meter calibration system based on 12-diode laser sources coupled to single-mode fibres in a wavelength range from 400 to 1,600 nm. In our system, three laser power controllers ensure that the output power uncertainty of all laser sources is less than 0.1% (k=2). In addition, all laser beams are adjusted to have similar beam sizes of approximately 2 mm (1/e²-width) at the measurement position to minimise unmeasured laser power on a detector. As a reference detector, we use an integrating sphere combined with silicon and indium gallium arsenide photodiodes to minimise the non-uniformity and non-linearity of responsivity. The minimum uncertainty of the calibration system is estimated to be 1.1% (k=2) for most laser wavelengths.

We have developed and estimated the measurement system of $CO_2$ and Nd:YAG laser power of wide range. The absorber is made of gold-plated copper cavity. The calibration heater is using a manganin(CuMn12Ni) coil, and output power is measured by using or resistance bridge with composed manganin and copper coil. Developed system can measure 5${\~}$1000W laser output power range. Calibration factors are 489.13J/mV at 100W and 497.04(J/mV) at 500W. correction factors are 0.99 at 100W and 1.006 at 500W.

We have investigated the characteristics of a Nd:YAG laser pumped by a cw Ti:sapphire laser. When the pumping power of the Ti:sapphire laser was 850 ㎽, the maximum output power of the Nd:YAG laser was 450 ㎽. As a result, the slope efficiency for the output power of the Nd:YAG laser was measured to be 56%. We have also investigated the characteristics of a passively Q-switched Nd:YAG laser by using a Cr$^{4+}$:YAG as saturable absorber with initial transmission of 90%. The maximum average output power of 200 ㎽ was obtained with repetition rate of 23.8 KHz and pulse width of 17.0 ns.

본 연구에서는 맥박 측정에서 생기는 잡음들 중 많은 오류를 생기게 하는 동잡음 개선을 위하여 회로를 제안하고 설계하였다. 기존의 맥박추정 장비에서 가변저항, 광원 스위칭, 디지털 필터를 사용함으로써 정확도 향상을 위한 연구를 하였다. 손가락에서 광전용적맥파를 측정시 측정부의 광원을 2개를 사용하고, 이를 스위칭을 통해 파형을 측정을 하였다. 실험에서 PPG의 측정은 반사형 방식을 사용하고 이를 광원스위칭을 통해 신호를 받아들였다. 이를 저주파통과필터와 고주파통과필터를 사용하여 0.5~5Hz대역을 필터링 함으로써 PPG이외의 잡음을 제거하고 신호를 검출하였다. 검출된 파형을 지수가중이중필터로 필터링을 함으로써 정확성을 높였다. 이를 통하여 광원스위칭을 통한 PPG의 출력과 발광다이오드 한 개를 사용한 출력을 비교 분석을 보여줄 것이다.
