한국원자력연구소에서는 가속기의 직경이 70 cm이고, 마그네트론 고주파 발생장치를 사용하는 소형 마이크로트론을 이용한 원적외선 자유전자레이저를 개발하였다$^{(1)}$ . 발진 파장은 100 - 200 $mu extrm{m}$ 영역이며, 첨두 출력은 약 1 - 10 kW이다. 본 연구에서는 개발된 원적외선 자유전자레이저의 시스템 개요와 출력 특성에 관하여 살펴보았다. 최근, 반도체와 물성의 분광학연구, 생명공학연구, 광화학 반응연구, 환경감시 기술개발, 인체영상, 군사용 감시기술 개발 등의 분야에서 새로운 연구와 첨단기술개발에 필요한 원적외선 광원의 요구가 점차 높아지고 있다. 이러한 요구에 부응하기 위하여 원적외선 영역의 다양한 광원 개발이 이루어지고 있으며, 특히, 테라헤르쯔 반도체 소자를 개발하기 위한 노력이 국내외에서 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 그러나, 아직까지는 이러한 광원의 출력이 mW 이하이고, 분광특성이 나빠서 실제응용에 많은 제한이 있다.

In this paper, we developed mobile robot platform called Ecobot for the application system of friendly environment smart home appliance. Ecobot fulfills the purposes of monitoring of the healthy environment and guidance in the application system of friendly smart environment home appliance, home network formed by Zigbee network. For the healthy environment, the system contains monitoring sensor. Moreover, it continuously keeps the healthy environment by controlling the smart home appliances linkng with Zigbee network. And also using the URG-04LX laser distance sensor, it monitors indoor environment through autonomous moving and collision avoidance.

A Safety Monitoring System using a laser and 2-D arrayed photo sensors is developed. To monitor of the deformation and small rotation of structure the developed optical system using 2-D photo sensor array was used to detect the variation of optical orbit of laser which was induced by deformation of the structure. Also, an operating program to manage the system and an algorithm for the data acquisition and the database are introduced. In this study, we demonstrated the capabilities of this system by laboratory experiments before applying the system to the field.

Along with Cs-137 (half-life: 30.17 years), Sr-90 (half-life: 28.8 years) is one of the most important environmental monitoring radioactive elements. Rapid and easy monitoring method for Sr-90 using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) has been studied. Strontium belongs to a bivalent alkaline earth metal such as calcium and has similar electron arrangement and size. Due to these similar chemical properties, it can easily enter into the human body through the food chain via water, soil, and crops when leaked into the environment. In addition, it is immersed into the bone at the case of human influx and causes the toxicity for a long time (biological half-life: about 50 years). It is a very reductive and related with the specific reaction that makes wet analysis difficult. In particular, radioactive strontium should be monitored by nuclear power plants but it is very difficult to be analysed from high-cost problems as well as low accuracy of analysis due to complicated analysis procedures, expensive analysis equipment, and a pretreatment process of using massive chemicals. Therefore, we introduce the Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) analysis method that analyzes the elements in the sample using the inherent spectrum by generating plasma on the sample using pulse energy, and it can be analyzed in a few seconds without preprocessing. A variety of analytical plates for samples were developed to improve the analytical sensitivity by optimizing the laser, wavelength, and time resolution. This can be effectively applied to real-time monitoring of radioactive wastewater discharged from a nuclear power plant, and furthermore, it can be applied as an emergency monitoring means such as possible future accidents at a nuclear power plants.
