One of the key components to accomplish WDM all-optical network is an arrayed waveguide grating router. The spectral characterisitc of the ypeical arrayed waveguide grating rouger has parabolic shape, hence the bandwidth is limited. The spectral response of an optical filter should be as flat as possible for the reliable operation of the syste, because the center frequency of the optical source could be deviated in the actual system. In order to acquire these characteristics, we propose and design a new type of the arrayed waveguide grating router with a flat passband using the Fourier optics concept. The BPM simulation results of the new arrayed waveguide grating router with the flat passband show that the bandwideth is 0.8 nm at -1 dB, instertion loss about 6 dB, and the crosstalk less than -23 dB fro each cnannel, which is 1.6 nm(200 GHz) separated from the adjacent channel around 1550 nm wavelength range.

We aim in synthesizing various functional thin films thinner than ~ 10 nm for environmental applications and photovoltaic devices. Atomic layer deposition is used for synthesizing inorganic thin films with a precise control of the film thickness. Several examples about application of our thin films for removing volatile organic compounds (VOC) will be highlighted, which are summarized in the below. 1) $TiO_2$ thin films prepared by ALD at low temperature ($<100^{\circ}C$) show high adsorption capacity for toluene. In combination with nanostructured templates, $TiO_2$ thin films can be used as building-block of high-performing VOC filter. 2) $TiO_2$ thin films on carbon fibers and nanodiamonds annealed at high temperatures are active for photocatalytic oxidation of VOCs, i.e. photocatalytic filter can be created by atomic layer deposition. 3) NiO can catalyze oxidation of toluene to $CO_2$ and $H_2O$ at $<300^{\circ}C$. $TiO_2$ thin films on NiO can reduce poisoning of NiO surfaces by reaction intermediates below $200^{\circ}C$. We also fabricated inverted organic solar cell based on ZnO electron collecting layers on ITO. $TiO_2$ thin films with a mean diameter less than 3 nm on ZnO can enhance photovoltaic performance by reducing electron-hole recombination on ZnO surfaces.

Background: This study aims to develop an integrated optical system that can simultaneously or selectively measure the signals obtained from radioluminescence (RL), thermoluminescence (TL), and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), which are luminescence phenomena of materials stimulated by radioactivity, heat, and light, respectively. The luminescence mechanism of various materials could be investigated using the glow curves of the luminescence materials. Materials and Methods: RL/TL/OSL integrated measuring system was equipped with a X-ray tube (50 kV, $200{\mu}A$) as an ionizing radiation source to irradiate the sample. The sample substrate was used as a heating source and was also designed to optically stimulate the sample material using various light sources, such as high luminous blue light emitting diode (LED) or laser. The system measured the luminescence intensity versus the amount of irradiation/stimulation on the sample for the purpose of measuring RL, TL and OSL sequentially or by selectively combining them. Optical filters were combined to minimize the interference of the stimulation light in the OSL signal. A long-pass filter (420 nm) was used for 470 nm LED, an ultraviolet-pass filter (260-390 nm) was used for detecting the luminescence of the sample by PM tube. Results and Discussion: The reliability of the system was evaluated using the RL/OSL characteristics of $Al_2O_3:C$ and the RL/TL characteristics of LiF:Mg,Cu,Si, which were used as dosimetry materials. The RL/OSL characteristics of $Al_2O_3:C$ showed relatively linear dose-response characteristics. The glow curve of LiF:Mg,Cu,Si also showed typical RL/OSL characteristics. Conclusion: The reliability of the proposed system was verified by sequentially measuring the RL characteristics of radiation as well as the TL and OSL characteristics by concurrent thermal and optical stimulations. In this study, we developed an integrated measurement system that measures the glow curves of RL/TL/OSL using universal USB-DAQs and the control program.

Titania is usually used in sun-screens, tooth paste, and other daily used objects as a pigment. However, scientists have focused on titania as photocatalyst due to its excellent activities. By fabricating vanadium doped TiO2 and CuOx co-catalyzed TiO2 nano-size filter, the degradation level of the volatile organic compound (VOC) concentration was tested using 365nm UV LED as light source in a closed chamber. Main purpose for this test is to evaluate the activities of various catalysts for degrading the VOCs which are detrimental to human body and toluene and p-xylene were chosen in the VOC removal test. Target gas materials were injected into the test chamber with dry air as carrier gas which was flowed into the gas washer bottle filled with liquid form of VOC substance. When the VOC gas flows into the chamber, it is circulated by 200 mm fan in order to contact with the set-up filter on the aluminum holder. Target gas concentration in the chamber was monitored using VOC detector (miniRae3000, Raesystems) which was also placed inside the chamber. With the measured concentration, the VOC degradation efficiency and the degradation rate were evaluated and used to compare the catalytic activities.

We investigated the application of tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) coatings to fabricate a glass lens manufactured using a glass molding process (GMP). In this work, ta-C coatings with different thickness (50, 100, 150 and 200 nm) were deposited on a tungsten carbide (WC-Co) mold using the X-bend filter of a filtered cathode vacuum arc. The effects of thickness on mechanical and tribological properties of the coating were studied. These ta-C coatings were characterized by atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, nano-indentation measurements, Raman spectrometry, Rockwell-C tests, scratch tests and ball on disc tribometer tests. The nano-indentation measurements showed that hardness increased with an increase in coating thickness. In addition, the G-peak position in the Raman spectra analysis was right shifted from 1520 to $1586cm^{-1}$, indicating that the $sp^3$ content increased with increasing thickness of ta-C coatings. The scratch test showed that, compared to other coatings, the 100-nm-thick ta-C coating displayed excellent adhesion strength without delamination. The friction test was carried out in a nitrogen environment using a ball-on-disk tribometer. The 100-nm-thick ta-C coating showed a low friction coefficient of 0.078. When this coating was applied to a GMP, the life time, i.e., shot counts, dramatically increased up to 2,500 counts, in comparison with Ir-Re coating.

Optical filters to control light wavelength of displays or cameras are fabricated by multi-layer stacking process of low and high index thin films. The process of multi-layer stacking of thin films has received much attention as an optimal process for effective manufacturing in the optical filter industry. However, multi-layer processing has disadvantages of complicated thin film process, and difficulty of precise control of film morphology and material selection, all of which are critical for transmittance and coloring effect on filters. In this study, the composite $TiO_2$, which can be used to control of UV absorption, coated on nano hollow silica sol, was synthesized as a coating material for optical filters. Furthermore, systematic analysis of the process parameters during the chemical reaction, and of the structural properties of the coating solutions was performed using SEM, TEM, XRD and photo spectrometry. From the structural analysis, we found that the 85 nm nano hollow silica with 2.5 nm $TiO_2$ shell formation was successfully synthesized at proper pH control and titanium butoxide content. Photo luminescence characteristics, excited by UV irradiation, show that stable absorption of 350 nm-light, correlated with a 3.54 eV band gap, existed for the $TiO_2$ shell-nano hollow silica reacted with 8.8 mole titanium butoxide solution. Transmittance observed on substrate of the $TiO_2$ shell-nano hollow silica showed effective absorption of 200-300 nm UV light without deterioration of visible light transparency.

한전 원자력 환경기술원에서는 중ㆍ저준위 방사성폐기물 유리화 기술의 상용화 가능성을 입증하기 위한 유리화 실증설비를 건설하여 시험 중에 있으며 이 유리화 기술은 유도 가열식 저온로(Cold Crucible Melter, CCM)에 폐기물을 투입하는 기술로서 폐기물의 부피 축소 효과와 더불어 최종 고화물로 생성되는 폐기물의 침출율이 매우 낮은 장점을 지닌다. 이와 같은 유리화 공정은 기존의 소각처리에서와 같이 폐기물의 열적 산화과정에 의해 유해오염가스와 입자성 물질이 발생된다. 따라서 이를 처리하기 위해배기체 처리공정(Off Gas Treatment System, OGTS)을 설치하여 환경 배출기준(SO$_2$300ppm, NO$_2$ 200ppm, CO 600ppm, HCI 50ppm, 분진 100mg/Nm$^3$ 등)을 만족하도록 하였고 특히 입자성 물질은 후단 OGTS나 배관내 침적으로 인한 방사성 오염을 막기 위해 CCM 후단에서 효율적으로 제거되어야만 한다.

유기물의 복잡한 혼합물인 CDOM(Colored or Chromophoric Dissolved Organic Matter)은 하천 내 BOD(Biological Oxygen Demand), COD(Chemical Oxygen Demand) 및 유기 오염물질과 상당한 관련이 있다. CDOM은 가시광선 영역에서 빛을 흡수하는 성질을 가지고 있으며, 최근 원격감지 기술로 CDOM을 모니터링하기 위한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 백제보 상류 23km 구간에서 3년(2016~2018) 중 13일의 초분광영상을 활용하여 머신러닝 기반 CDOM을 추정 알고리즘을 개발하고자 한다. 초분광영상은 400~970 nm의 범위의 4 nm 간격 127개 대역의 분광해상도와 2 m의 공간해상도를 가진 항공기 탑재 AsiaFENIX 초분광 센서를 통해 수집하였으며 CDOM은 Millipore polycarbonate filter (𝚽47, 0.2 ㎛)에서 여과된 CDOM 샘플 자료를 200~800 nm의 흡수계수 스펙트럼으로 추출하여 사용하였다. CDOM 값은 전체기간 동안 2.0~11.0 m^-1의 값 분포를 보였으며 5 m^-1이상의 고농도 구간 자료개수가 전체 153개 샘플자료 중 21개로 불균형하다. 따라서 ADASYN(Adaptive Synthesis Sampling Approach)의 oversampling 방법으로 생성된 합성 데이터를 사용하여 원본 데이터의 소수계층 데이터 불균형을 해결하고 모델 예측 성능을 개선하고자 하였다. 생성된 합성 데이터를 입력변수로 하여 ANN(Artificial Neural Netowk)을 활용한 CDOM 예측 알고리즘을 구축하였다. ADASYN 기법을 통한 합성 데이터는 관측된 데이터의 불균형을 해결하여 기계학습 모델의 CDOM 탐지 성능을 향상시킬 수 있으며, 저수지 내 유기 오염물질 관리를 위한 설계를 지원하는데 사용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
