We present a simulation method to design antireflection coating (ARCs) for fiber-coupled superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors. Using a finite-element method, the absorptance of the nanowire is calculated for a defined unit-cell structure consisting of a fiber, ARC layer, nanowire absorber, distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) mirror, and air gap. We develop a method to evaluate the uncertainty in absorptance due to the uncontrollable parameter of air-gap distance. The validity of the simulation method is tested by comparison to an experimental realization for a case of single-layer ARC, which results in good agreement. We show finally a double-layer ARC design optimized for a system detection efficiency of higher than 95%, with a reduced uncertainty due to the air-gap distance.

A noble infrared $\lambda/4$ absorbing structure using metal reflector was studied for uncooled infrared sensors. This paper described the design and the fabrication of IR uncooled detectors which were composed of 21 by 21 elements using the surface micromachining technology. The characteristics of the array were investigated in the spectral region of 4.26 ${\mu}m$. The fabricated detectors exhibited the thermal mass of $9.75\times10^{-9}$ J/K, the thermal conductance of $1.31\times10^{-6}$ W/K, the thermal time constant of 7.4 ms, the responsivity of $1.07\times10^5$ V/W and the detectivity of $1.04\times10^9$ $cmHz^{1/2}/W$, at the chopper frequency of 10 Hz and the bias current of 9.22${\mu}A$. Finally the absorptance efficiency of $\lambda/4$ absorbing structure was about 23.2 % higher than that of absence absorbing structure.

In the solar heat collection system, we can determine how the collector will perform under specific conditions from the efficiency curve. By understanding the basic principles which govern the operation, designers can maximize the output from the collector. Absorptance, transmission and the total heat transfer coefficient were introduced to induce this efficiency curve. Designers who can make use of the implicit information on the curve in this report will generate systems which obtain the best return from their client's investment.

This paper reviews the current status of R&D work on selective absorber materials. For the efficient utilization of solar energy, various types of selective absorber materials are being used for solar hot water heaters. Many selective absorbers which have been proposed and designed up to data are classified according to the absorption mechanisms. Temperature-time cycle method is often recommended for the measurement of solar absorptance. In addition, conversion efficiency of the solar collector with selective surface is compared with one with black paint surface.

An uncooled infrared sensor has been prepared with sputtering, plasma ash, ICP, and PECVD on a Si wafer In order to analyze the resistance characteristics with the bridge length in the infrared sensor, three samples were prepared with lengths of 0 (no bridge), 15 (short bridge), and 29 urn (long bridge), respectively. I-V curves were measured for their resistance characteristics and EPMA for the dopping concentration of the amorphous Si. The phosphorus concentration was about 4 % and the resistance was increased with the bridge length. The bridge length of cantilever is very important factor for improvement of the efficiency in an infrared sensor.

태양열 집열판의 효율을 증대시키기 위하여는 집열판에 조사되는 태양광의 흡수율을 높이고 복사에 의한 열손실을 감소시키는 선택적 박막을 집열판에 입히는 것이 중요한 인자이다. 본 실험에서는 이와같은 광학적 특성을 지니게 하고 동시에 전류효율이 우수한 pulsecurrent 전해법을 도입하여 실제 실용화 규모인 230 cm$\times$60 크기의 대형 기판에 선택흡수박막의 전착을 실시하였다. 도금액의 조성은 크롬산 280 g/$\ell$, propionic acid 15g/$\ell$, 그리고 제 2첨가제10g/$\ell$이었으며, 도금 대상기판으로는 구리와 알루미늄이 사용되었다. 구리 기판의 경우에는 선택흡수박막의 흡수율이 약 0.98이고 복사율은 약 0.17의 광학적 성질을 보였으며, 30$0^{\circ}C$공기 중에서 24시간동안 열처리 후에도 광학적 우수성을 지니고 있어 상품적 가치가 매우 우수하다고 판단되었다. 알루미늄 기판의 경우에는 흡수율이 약 0.97, 복사율이 0.15로서 광학적 성질은 구리 기판에 비해 다소 떨어지지만, 열전도도와 경제성을 고려하면 상품적 가치가 충분하다고 생각된다. 또한 이와 같은 대형기판을 적용하여 안정된 태양광 선택흡수박막의 성공적 제조로 공정의 단순화 및 대량생산 기술을 확보하였으며, 상용화에 돌입하게 되었다.
