A single-and dual-wavelength switchable polarized Yb-doped double-clad fiber laser around 1120 nm based on a pair of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) is demonstrated. The polarization-maintaining (PM) linear cavity is composed of a double clad PM Yb-doped fiber (YDF) and a pair of PM FBGs. The laser can operate in stable dual-wavelength or wavelength-switching modes due to the polarization hole burning (PHB) and the spatial hole burning (SHB) enhanced by the PM linear cavity. In dual-wavelength operation, the two orthogonally polarized wavelengths are centered at 1118.912 nm and 1119.152 nm, with an interval of 0.24 nm and a signal to noise ratio (SNR) of 35 dB. The maximum output power is 14.67 W when the launched LD pump is 24 W corresponding to an optical efficiency of 61.1%. The lasing lines switchover may be realized by adjusting the polarization controller (PC) fitted in the cavity. The two single-wavelengths are 1118.912 nm and 1119.152 nm. When the injected LD pump is 24 W, the highest output powers are 7.68 W and 8.64 W corresponding to optical efficiencies of 32% and 36% respectively. The spectral linewidth of the lasing lines are 0.075 nm and 0.07 nm, and the average numerical values of PER aredB and 19.9 dB, respectively.

In order to manufacture 2-layer flexible copper clad laminate (FCCL) s having the excellent performance high adhesion properties between copper foil and polyimide film are required. Silane coupling agents with specific functional groups as an adhesion promoter are generally used to enhance the adhesion. In our study, we synthesized a novel silane coupling agent for increasing the adhesive property between copper layer and polyimide layer. The surface morphology of rolled copper foil, as a function of the concentrations of the coated silane coupling agent, was fully characterized. As fabricated 2-layer FCCL, we observed that adhesive properties were changed by the surface morphology and we confirmed that the novel silane coupling agent affects adhesive properties in FCCL with two types of poly (amic acid)s.

Two methods, IDMS (Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry) and controlled potential coulometry are compared by the determination of Pu for the NBL, CRM No.122, $PuO_2$. The recovery of Pu was found to be $1.002176{\pm}0.000452$ within the relative standard deviation of 0.045% (95% conf. level) although a small size of sample ($0.9{\mu}g$-Pu) was used in IDMS. The recovery using controlled potential coulometry were obtained in the range of 0.9923~0.9960. The analytical results of IDMS and controlled potential coulometry were good agreement within 0.6~1%. Base on these experiment results, The plutonium in HANARO irradiated fuel rod that separated portion of top, middle, and bottom were determined. The measured values of Pu are 1.155 mg, 2.483 mg and 1.920 mg in one gram of sample(fuel+clad), respectively.

To enhance the thermo-mechanical properties of polyimide films which have potential application for the FCCL, we have synthesized the poly (amic acid) s composed of 4-components PMDA/BTDA and PDA/ODA as monomer system, u4 then they were effectively converted into 4-component polyimide films by thermal imidization process. It has been found that CTE values in the range of $100\sim200^{\circ}C$ decreased with the amount of PDA, which also caused 36% and 59% increases in tensile modulus and strength respectively. And also, peel test results on 3-layered copper clad laminate using 4-component polyimide films showed excellent adhesion strength above 1.8 kgf/cm. On the basis of obtained results it can be concluded that 4-component polyimide films may be applied for the high performance FCCL base films.

The parameters of silanol formation reaction of organosilane including solvent type, solution concentration, pH and hydrolysis time influence the adhesion property of 2 layer flexible copper clad laminate (FCCL). Especially, the hydrolysis reaction time of silane coupling agent affects the formation of the silanol groups and their self-condensation to generate oilgomeric structure to enhance the surface treatment as an adhesive promoter. In our study, we prepared the binary silane coupling agents to control hydrolysis reaction rate and surface energy after treatment of silane coupling agents for increasing the adhesive property between a copper layer and a polyimide layer. The surface morphology of rolled copper foil, as a function of the contents of the coated binary silane coupling agent, was fully characterized. As fabricated 2-layer FCCL, we observed that adhesive properties were changed by hydrolysis rate and surface energy.

Due to excellent corrosion resistance, in particular against sea water, Al-2wt.$\%$Zn alloys have been used as the sacrifice anode material for tube of the ORV. Al-2wt.$\%$Zn alloys thermal-sprayed coating, however, were spalled on the lower part of ORV due to the lack of bonding strength between base material and coating layer and the dropping energy of sea water, To overcome the problems of the thermal spray coating, we developed the cladded tube manufacturing process by coextrusion of the clad and base metal. The corrosion resistance of cladded tube was improved by two times at least, compared with that of the present thermal spray coated vaporizer tubes.

Electronic wastes have increased tremendously. However, any reliable treatment methodologies have rarely been established. Electronic wastes have posed serious disposal problem due to their physico-chemical stability. This paper investigated the application possibility of pyrolysis for the purpose of recycling the p-CCL(phenol based Copper Clad Laminate). Thermogravimetric analysis(TGA) was used to investigate the thermal decomposition pattern of p-CCL. We elucidated the characteristics of pyrolysis by-products at operating temperatures of 280, 350 and $600^{\circ}C$. GC/MS and FT-IR were used to characterize the liquid by-products along with general characterization methods such as Ultimate Analysis, Proximate Analysis and Heating Value, whereas general characterization methods were only introduced for the solid by-products. At a heating rate of $5^{\circ}C$/min, TGA curves exhibited three decomposition stages: (1) low-temperature decomposition region$(<280^{\circ}C)$, (2) medium temperature region$(280\sim350^{\circ}C)$ and (3) high-temperature region$(>350^{\circ}C)$. The major compounds of liquid by-products at low- and medium-temperatures were accounted for by water and phenol, whereas branched phenols and furans were major compounds at high-temperatures. As the temperature increases, volatile quantities decreased but the fixed carbon increased. High heating values of solid by-products($7,400\sim7,600$ kcal/kg) would suggest that the solid by-products could be applicable as fuel. In addition, high fixed carbon but low ash content of the solid by-products offered an implication that they are capable of being upgradable for adsorbent after applying appropriate activating process.

A new method is proposed for the analysis of optical properties of stationary transverse electirc (TE) nonlinear waves in the five-layer waveguide which consists of a linear guiding layer with two nonlinear bounding layers sandwiched between a semi-infinite clad and a substrate. By using the relation of the interface electric fields, we obtain the generalized form of nonlinear dispersion equations as an analytic and flexible form. In order to verify the dispersion equation, we apply the dispersion equation to the analysis of the symmetric five-layer waveguide. The nonlinear dispersion curves for several thicknesses of the nonlinear thin film is also presented.

To support the safe operation of the Miniature Neutron Source Reactor (MNSR), a thermo-hydraulic transient model using the RELAP5/Mod3.2 code was simulated. The model was verified by comparing the results with the measured and the previously calculated data. The comparisons consisted of comparing the MNSR parameters under normal constant power operation and reactivity insertion transients. Reactivity Insertion Accident (RIA) for three different initial reactivity values of 3.6, 6.0, and 6.53 mk have been simulated. The calculated peaks of the reactor power, fuel, clad and coolant temperatures in hot channel were calculated in this model. The reactor power peaks were: 103 kW at 240 s, 174 kW at 160 s and 195 kW at 140 s, respectively. The fuel temperature reached its maximum value of 116 ℃ at 240 s, 124 ℃ at 160 s and 126 ℃ at 140 s respectively. These calculation results ensured the high inherently safety features of the MNSR under all phases of the RIAs.
