We have studied the sensitivity of four different phase shift measurement schemes with a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The input light is considered to be in a coherent state and the detectors are assumed to be ideal with the quantum efficiency of unity. It is shown by direct calculation of the operators corresponding to the measurement schemes that the uncertainty of the phase-shift measurement is limited to the classical one $\frac{1}{\sqrt{m}}$(m is the average number of the photons in the input state) regardless of the phase-shift measurement schemes.

Photobiomodulation forms the basis of photomedicine and is defined as the effect of coherent or non-coherent light sources, such as low-level lasers and light-emitting diodes, on cells and tissues. This treatment technique affects cell functions, proliferation, and migration, and plays an important role in tissue regeneration. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are known to be beneficial for tissue regeneration, and the combination of stem cell therapy and laser therapy appears to positively affect treatment outcomes. In general, a low-power laser has a positive effect on MSCs, thereby facilitating improvements in different disease models. This study elucidates the mechanisms and effects of low-power laser irradiation on the proliferation, migration, and differentiation of various MSCs that have been examined in different studies.

The generation of coherent x-ray beams by using a multi-slit diffraction phenomenon is presented. The mode-confinement conditions in the x-ray waveguide (XWG) needed to obtain single-mode beams are determined. The XWGs are stacked to form an XWG array. The core of the XWG array is used as a slit in an opaque screen, similar to those used for visible light. Diffraction patterns that interfered constructively in the XWG array are investigated based on multi-slit diffraction theory. The irradiance distributions are studied at on observation screen. The FWHM of diffracted x-ray spectra were between $1.67{\times}10^{-4}$ to $3.30{\times}10^{-5}$ radians which lead to a spot-size of a few tens of micrometers on the screen at distance of 1 m. The intensities decrease with increase in the period of the XWG array, i.e. a thicker cladding, due to growth of the higher-order diffraction peaks.

It is shown that polarization singularities of a new type, namely U and P singularities, arise at the transverse cross section of a partially coherent beam, instead of the common singularities such as C points and L lines in a completely coherent vector field. A relationship between the two kind of singularities with respect to intensity is proposed. We also present a setup that can generate the new singularities, and any desired distribution of degree of polarization, using intensity control.

Several different production technologies for Low-Temperature Poly-Silicon (LTPS) have been proposed over the last years. However, finally the progress in Excimer-laser-based crystallization has lead to the best cost-to-performance ratio of LTPS manufacturing for use in active-matrix-based displays. In this paper, we report on recent and significant technical advances in light sources, optical beam deliveries and beam irradiation systems targeted at enabling ultra-uniform mura-free LTPS active-matrix backplanes while simultaneously lowering production costs and increasing throughput.

본 연구에서는 결맞는 x-선을 이용하여 표면의 거동 현상을 관찰할 수 있는 새로운 실험 방법인 x-선 상관 분광법(x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy)을 소개하고 이를 이용하여 측정한 고분자 박막에서의 거동 현상에 대한 결과를 보고하고자 한다. 이 방법은 파장이 짧은 x-선 영역에 동역학 광산란(dynamic light scattering) 원리를 적용하여 나노 스케일의 동역학 현상을 관찰할 수 있다. 또한 x-선 산란을 이용하므로 동역학 현상과 동시에 구조 특성을 측정할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 글래스 전이보다 높은 온도에서, 기판에 코팅된 고분자 박막의 표면 거동현상을 온도와 파수의 함수로 측정하였다. 박막의 두께가 두꺼울 때에는 점성이 높은 액체에서와 계산된 이론에서와 같은 표면 거동 현상이 관찰되었고, 얇은 박막에서는 갇힘 현상에 의한 효과를 관찰하였다.

A system for continuous-wave coherent Doppler lidar (CW lidar), made up of all-fiber structures and a coaxial transmission telescope, was set up for wind measurement in Hefei (31.84 N, 117.27 E), Anhui province of China. The lidar uses a fiber laser as a light source at a wavelength of $1.55{\mu}m$, and focuses the laser beam on a location 80 m away from the telescope. Using the CW lidar, radial wind measurement was carried out. Subsequently, the spectra of the atmospheric backscattered signal were analyzed. We tested the noise and obtained the lower limit of wind velocity as 0.721 m/s, through the Rayleigh criterion. According to the number of Doppler peaks in the radial wind spectrum, a classification retrieval algorithm (CRA) combining a Gaussian fitting algorithm and a spectral centroid algorithm is designed to estimate wind velocity. Compared to calibrated pulsed coherent wind lidar, the correlation coefficient for the wind velocity is 0.979, with a standard deviation of 0.103 m/s. The results show that CW lidar offers satisfactory performance and the potential for application in wind measurement.

본 논문에서는 타일형 결맞음 빔 결합 시스템에서 렌즈의 수차가 빔 결합 효율 저하에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 분석하였다. 렌즈의 수차를 정량화하기 위하여 Zernike 다항식 방법을 사용하고, 프레넬 회절을 적용하여 빔 결합 상황에서 첨두강도의 변화를 수치적으로 시뮬레이션하였다. 본 논문의 결과는 향후, 실제 상황에서 주어진 렌즈의 수차에 의해 저하되는 빔 결합 효율에 대한 정량적인 예측과 또한, 실제 타일형 결맞음 빔 결합 시스템의 최적 설계에 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Digital holography is a computational operation and photo-electronic technology that enables calculating, encoding, and reconstructing a 3D scene based on the interference of a coherent light-wave field. The spatial light modulator in a holographic 3D display decodes a computer-generated hologram to optically regenerate a 3D scene in various depths, thus facilitating to match convergence and accommodation of the human eyes. This paper introduces recent technologies related with the content for digital holography called an ultimate 3D display.

A new pathlength deviation detection technique which is composed of michelson interferometer is described and verified experimentally. The technique uses a sub-threshold biased visible laser diode of 20$\mu$m coherence length as a low-coherent light source. And for zeroth-order fringe(which is the largest among fringes) identification we used a piezoelectric transducer with a large modulation smplitude, which enables without the need of constant velocity scanning, to distinguish reflection surfaces separated by more than 10$\mu$m with a resolution of less than half-wavelength.
