We have calculated the optimum refractive index and normalized thickness of a single layer antireflection coating on the facet of buried channel waveguides as a function of waveguide width for several waveguide depths using the angular spectrum method and field profiles obtained by the effective index method (EIM) and the variational method (VM), respectively, and discussed the results. In the area of large waveguide width, the optimum parameters of a single layer antireflection coating obtained by both methods are almost the same. However, as waveguide width decreases, the parameters obtained by the VM approach those of a single layer antireflection coating between cladding layer and air, while those obtained by the EIM do not approach those, and the difference between the two parameters is large. The tolerance maps of the quasi-TE and quasi-TM modes obtained by the VM for square waveguides are located in almost the same area regardless of refractive index contrast, while those obtained by the free space radiation mode (FSRM) method for refractive index contrast of 10% are located in the different area. Thus, we think that the tolerance maps obtained by the VM are more exact than those obtained by the FSRM method.

A refractometric glucose biosensor incorporating a vertically coupled microring resonator in polymers was proposed and realized. The ring was covered with a target analyte of glucose solution with a certain concentration, so that its effective refractive index could be altered and, as a result, the resonance wavelength of the sensor was shifted. Therefore the concentration of the glucose solution can be estimated by observing the shift in the resonance wavelength. Two schemes were exploited for enhancing the sensitivity of the sensor. First, the effective refractive index of the polymeric waveguide used for the resonator sensor was adjusted to approach that of the target analyte as best as possible. Second, the ring waveguide, which serves as a crucial sensing part, was appropriately over-etched to enlarge its contact area with the analyte. The proposed resonator sensor was designed with the beam propagation method. The refractive indices of the core and cladding polymer involved were 1.430 and 1.375 respectively, leading to the waveguide's effective refractive index of ${\sim}1.390$, which is faiirly close to that of the glucose solution of ${\sim}1.333$. The prepared ring resonator with the $400-{\mu}m$ radius exhibited the free spectral range of 0.66 nm, the bandwidth of 0.15 nm, and the quality factor of 10,000. For the sensor operating at 1,550 nm wavelength, the achieved sensitivity was as great as 0.28 pm/(mg/dL), which is equivalent to 200 nm/RIU.

The nonreciprocal phase shift characteristics of infinite slab optical waveguides with magneto-optic materials in the cladding layer was calculated at 1.55 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ for optical isolators. The infinite slab waveguide structures considered in this paper were as follows. rho magneto-optic materials used as a cladding layer were Ce:YIG and LNB(LuNdBi)$_3$(FeAl)$_{5}$)$_{12}$,). Their specific Faraday rotations Θ$_{F}$ are 4500$^{\circ}$/cm, 500$^{\circ}$/cm at wavelength 1.55 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ respectively. The guiding layer with multi-quantum well structure was used, and it consists of 1.3Q and InGaAs. In order to investigate the effect of evanescent field penetrating the cadding, layer, guiding mode characteristics were calculated for the cases when the substrate is InP and air. We calculated the minimum lengths of 90$^{\circ}$ nonreciprocal phase shifters and their optimum guiding layer thicknesses in various optical waveguide structures.res.s.

Ti/Steel 클래드 판재를 제조하기 위하여 티타늄과 강판을 직접 접합하는 경우 접합 계면에 취성이 강한 금속간화합물 및 TiC 탄화물이 발생하여 계면접합강도를 저하시키는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 티타늄과 강판 사이에 니켈 박판을 삽입한 후 1223-1323K 온도구간에서 접합 실험하였다. 특히, 온도의 변화에 따라 티타늄과 강판의 계면에 발생되는 금속간화합물의 종류 및 반응층의 크기 변화에 따른 기계적 특성을 조사하였다.
