Wide gap 반도체 중 하나인 GaN 에너지갭이 실온에서 3.4eV 이고 직접천이형 에너지대 구조를 가지므로 청색 및 자외영역의 파장을 발광하는 발광다이오드와 바도체 레이저 다이오드의 제작에유용한 재료이다. GaN계 III족 질화물반도체가 다파장용 광원으로서 유망함을 보인 것은 1970년대 초방의기초적 연구이다. 이로부터 약 25년이 경고한 현재 청색발광다이오드가 실용화당계에 이르게 되었지만 아직까지 전류주입에 의한 레이저발진은 보고되고있지 않다. 이 논문에서는 ALGaN/GaN이중이종접합(DH) 구조의 광여기에 의한 유도방출과 광학적 이득을 측정하므로서 전류주입에의한 레이저발진의 가능성을 조사하였다. 유기금속기상에피텍셜(MOVPE)법으로 성장한 ALGaN/GaN DH구조의 표면에 수직으로 펄스발진 질소레이저(파장:337.1nm, 주기:10Hz, 폭: 8nsec) 빔의 공출력밀도를 변화시키어 조사하고 시료의단면 혹은 표면으로부터 방출되는 광 스펙트럼을 측정하였다. 입상광밀도가 증가함에 따라 자연방출에 의한 발광피크보다 낮은 에너지에서 발광강도가 큰 유도방출에 의한 피크가 370nm의 파장에서 현저하게 나타났으며 실온에서 유동방출에 필요한 입사공밀도의 임계치는 약 89㎾/$\textrm{cm}^2$이었다. 이는 GaN 단독층에 대한 유동방출의 임계치 700㎾/$\textrm{cm}^2$ 에 비하여 약 1/8정도 낮은 것이며, 이를 전류밀도로 환산하면 약 27㎄/$\textrm{cm}^2$ 정도로서 전류주입에 의하여서도 레이저발진을 실현할 수 있는 현실적인 값이다. 한편 광여기 방법으로 측정한 광학적 이득은 입사광의 밀도가 각각 100㎾/$\textrm{cm}^2$과 200㎾/$\textrm{cm}^2$일 때 34$cm^{-1}$ / 과 160 $cm^{-1}$ / 이었다. 이와 같은 결과는 GaN의밴드단 부근의 파장영역에서 AIGaN 흔정의 굴절율이 GaN의 굴절율보다 작으므로 DH구조의 채택의 의한 광의 몰입이 가능하여 임계치가 저하된 것으로 여겨진다. 또한 광학적 이득의 존재는 이 구조에 의한 극단파장 반도체 레이저다이오드의 실현 가능성을 나타내는 것이다.

The Sinusoidal Transform Coding(STC) is a vocoding scheme based on a sinusoidal model of a speech signal. The low bit-rate speech coding based on sinusoidal model is a method that models and synthesizes speech with fundamental frequency and its harmonic elements, spectral envelope and phase in the frequency region. In this paper, we propose the 2.4kbps low-rate speech coding algorithm using the sinusoidal model of a speech signal. In the proposed coder, the pitch frequency is estimated by choosing the frequency that makes least mean squared error between synthetic speech with all spectrum peaks and speech synthesized with chosen frequency and its harmonics. The spectral envelope is estimated using SEEVOC(Spectral Envelope Estimation VOCoder) algorithm and the discrete all-pole model. The phase information is obtained using the time of pitch pulse occurrence, i.e., the onset time, as well as the phase of the vocal tract system. Experimental results show that the synthetic speech preserves both the formant and phase information of the original speech very well. The performance of the coder has been evaluated in terms of the MOS test based on informal listening tests, and it achieved over the MOS score of 3.1.

In this study, we have fabricated the noninvasive tube voltage meter which can observe the waveform of tube voltage and measure the tube voltage by using the Intensity of X-ray beam irradiated from radiotherapy simulator and also investigated the feasibility for clinical applications. Two pin photodiodes acting as X-ray detectors were arranged in parallel at the position of ${\pm}1.4cm$ in the y-axis of X-ray field and the aluminum filters with different thickness were placed above them. Using this detector, we could get the ratio ($r_{eff}$) of the relative output voltage which is proportional to the thickness of the filters. And the logarithm of effective peak tube voltage ($InkV_{p,eff}$) was obtained by Victoreen's NERO 6000M used as reference tube voltage meter. From the linear regression analysis of $r_{eff}$ and In $kV_{p,eff}$ the correlation coefficient (r) of linear equation was obtained to be 0.996 for the calibration of the tube voltage meter. Therefore, we suggest that the noninvasive tube voltage meter fabricated in this study can be used for clinical applications due to Its high accuracy.

We have calculated and analyzed the electromagnetic responses of buried conductive pipes due to a horizontal magnetic dipole source on the pound using a three-dimensional (3-D) finite element method to provide useful guidelines for designing electromagnetic pipe locator and for field operation of the system. For single buried pipe, the horizontal component and the horizontal difference of the vertical component of magnetic field show peaks above the pipe. When comparing the width of response curves of both cases around the peak, horizontal difference of vertical component of magnetic field shows much narrower peak, 2 times narrower at a half of maximum amplitude, than that of horizontal component of magnetic field. Accordingly, we can pinpoint the horizontal location of pipe on the ground more accurately by measuring the horizontal difference of vertical component of magnetic fold. Moreover, it will have a merit in determining the depth of pipe, because the equation for depth estimation is defined just above the pipe. When there are two buried pipes separated by two meters with each other, the response of horizontal difference of vertical component of magnetic field has two separate peaks each of which is located above the pipe whereas horizontal magnetic field response has only one peak above the pipe just below the transmitter. Thus, when there exist more than a buried pipe, measuring the horizontal difference of vertical magnetic field can effectively detect not only the pipe under transmitter but also adjacent ones. The width of response curves also indicates higher resolving ability of horizontal difference of vertical component of magnetic field.

A simple method of isotherm determination for HPLC is discussed. The equilibrium-dispersive model describing the behavior of elution peaks in HPLC for single component is solved numerically by using PDE solver Macsyma$^{(R)}$(Macsyma Inc., Arlington, MA, USA.) and compared to the experimental data obtained in overloaded isocratic chromatography with caffeine as model species. The effect of sample concentration and flow velocity on the band profiles of elution peaks are described.

Based on the actual shape of the detector and the data provided by the manufacturer, the shape of the detector was implemented through Penelope simulation and applied to the appropriate four-layer thickness based on the efficiency obtained from the measurements. Efficiency calculations to determine the effect of the simulated number of Full Energy Peak Efficiency(FEPE) channels in the detector and the outside contact layer in the crystal on the Full Energy Peak Efficiency were performed for various four-layer thicknesses of 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0, 1.2, and 1.4 mm using the Penelope Code. When the thickness of the external contact layer was increased by 5 times, the Full Energy Peak Efficiency decreased by about 36% for 59.50 keV, and the Full Energy Peak Efficiency decreased by 10% for 1836. In addition, as it increased by 10 times, the Full Energy Peak Efficiency decreased by about 20% for 59.54 keV, and 7% for 1836.01 keV. The Penelope simulated Full Energy Peak Efficiency channel decreases exponentially with the increase in the four layers. In addition, it was confirmed that the total effect curve was well matched with a relative difference of less than 3.5% in the 0.3-1.4 mm dead layer thickness region. However, it was found that the inhomogeneous dead layer is still a parameter in the Monte Carlo model.

Generally, various semiconductor switching devices for power systems are used in battery chargers for electric vehicle. When these used, it takes the problems of transient-current or distortion of waveforms in power systems near by battery chargers because of harmonics and large peak-current, low power factor, etc., caused by the non-linearity of these devices. Recently, power factor control, line current peak-cut, harmonics reduction which was ignored in past is more and more important. In this paper, to solve those problems we will improve the characteristics of voltage rising and propose the high power factor converter circuit for battery chargers. Our proposed system convert commutated voltage to AC resonant wave in high frequency inverter and rectify the link voltages passed high-frequency transformer and transfer the DC voltages. Especially, the effect using these converter system can be improved very large by power factor control and we have to verify the possibilities of improvement through the experiment of Pb-Acid battery application.

A simple AC complex circuit analysis for LCL type series resonant converter with phase shift control is proposed. Based on these analyses, a set of characteristic curves which allows a optimal design procedure for this converter is shown, without increasing the volt-ampere rating of tank circuit. Especially, inverter output peak current can be minimized in both full load and partial load conditions. The presented design considerations can make the load range wide from full loads to light loads achieving turn-on with zero voltage switching (ZVS) operation. The simulation and experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed design algorithms.

Latral Composition Modulation (LCM)으로 성장한 InP/GaP 초격자(Superlattice)의 선편광된 광발광(Photoluminescence) 특성을 저온(5 K)에서 측정하였다. LCM 기법은 z-축 방향으로 InP와 GaP를 단층 초격자(monolayer supperlattice)로 성장하는 과정에서 strain에 의해 x-y 평면으로 초격자가 형성되는 특별한 경우이다. 이렇게 성장된 LCM 초격자의 경우 In-rich 영역과 Ga-rich 영역이 교차로 성장되는 구조를 가지며 가전자대역(valence band)에서 무거운 양공과 가벼운 양공의 band mixing 이 일어나게 되어 선평광된 발광특성을 가진다. 우리는 저온 발광실험에서 In-rich 영역과 Ga-rich 영역의 재결합에 의해 나타나는 두 개의 독립된 전이 피크를 측정하였다. 이 두 피크는 [110] 방향의 편광에서 발광 강도가 최대치를 가지며 [1-10] 방향에서 최소값을 가짐을 보였다. 이때 전이 에너지의 경우 [110] 방향에서 [1-10] 방향으로 편광이 바뀔 때 Ga-rich 영역의 전이의 경우 적색편이를 나타낸 반면 In-rich 영역의 경우 청색편이를 보이는 현상을 발견하였다. 이러한 상반된 편이 현상은 서로 다른 3족 물질의 영역에 따라 격자 상수가 바뀌며 tensile strss와 compressive stress에 따른 가전자 대역의 band mixing 변화에 기인하는 것으로 여겨진다.
