The anisotropy of electron energy distribution in oxygen plasmas produced by a high intensity laser was investigated by using polarization spectroscopy. An ultra-short pulsed laser with a pulse duration of 66.5 fs and a power density of $1 {\times} 10^17/ W/$\textrm{cm}^2$$ was used. At this power density and pulse duration, the plasma was generated predominantly by optical field ionization. The degree of polarization of OVI 1s$^2$2p$^2$p2- 1s$^2$4d$^2$D$^{0}$ (J = 1/2-3/2 and 3/2-5/2) transition line at 129.92 $\AA$ was measured. O VI 1s$^2$2p$^2$P$^2$ -1s$^2$4s$^2$S$^2$ (J = 1/2-1/2 and 3/2-1/2) transition line at 132.26 $\AA$ was used to calibrate the sensitivity of the optical system. The dependencies of the degree of polarization on the initial gas density and on the laser polarization were investigated. When the laser polarization was changed from a linear to a circular polarization, the degree of polarization was decreased. When the initial gas density was increased, the degree of polarization was decreased.

LCD performance is generally evaluated in terms of luminance and color versus viewing angle. In the present paper, we show that this type of display can be favorably characterized in terms of polarization. We show that ELDIM EZContrast instrument which is routinely used for viewing angle measurements can be upgrade for measuring the polarization state of the light at each incidence and azimuth angle. More precisely, the degree of polarization of light, its ellipticity and polarization direction can be measured at each incidence angle between 0 and $88^{\circ}$ and for all the azimuth angles (from 0 to $360^{\circ}$). Important differences between the displays can be detected and related to their internal structures when luminance and color profiles are quite similar. The same setup can also be used to characterize optical components of the LCDs.

Recently far infra-red (FIR) polarization of the $850{\mu}m$ continuum emission from T Tauri disks has been detected. The observed degree of polarization is around 3 %. Since thermal emission from dust grains dominates the spectral energy distribution at the FIR regime, dust grains might be the cause of the polarization. We explore alignment of dust grains by radiative torque in T Tauri disks and provide predictions for polarized emission for disks viewed at different wavelengths and viewing angles. In the presence of magnetic field, these aligned grains produce polarized emission in infrared wavelengths. When we take a Mathis-Rumpl-Nordsieck-type distribution with maximum grain size of $500-1000{\mu}m$, the degree of polarization is around 2-3 % level at wavelengths larger than ${\sim}100{\mu}m$. Our study indicates that multifrequency infrared polarimetric studies of protostellar disks can provide good insights into the details of their magnetic structure.

2$\times$2 방향성 결합기와 단일모드 광섬유를 이용하여 무편광기를 구현하였다. 행렬식을 이용한 모의실험을 통해 편광도를 줄이는 방법을 이론적으로 설명하였고 이를 실험적으로 검증하였다. 0.05 nm 이하의 좁은 선폭을 가진 편광된 입력광원의 편광상태 변화에 대해 -20 dB의 출력 편광도를 얻을 수 있었다 광섬유 지연선의 길이를 광원의 가간섭 길이보다 충분히 길게 함으로써 입력광의 편광 변화에 의한 강도 잡음을 효과적으로 없앨 수 있음을 실험적으로 검증하였다.

파장 514.5 nm에서 8.4 um 두께의 ECB(Electically Controlled Birefringenence) 액정 셀과 1/4 파장판을 이용하여 간단하게 360도 이상으로 선형편광의 방향을 광손실없이 자유롭게 바꿀 수 있는 선형편광 회전기를 제안하고 이를 구현하였다. 이 선형편광 회전기의 편광도는 0.964이며, 1주일간의 시간적 변화도 ${\pm}1$도 정도로 시간적 안정성이 매우 뛰어남을 확인하였다. 이 선형편광기의 전압 대회전각의 비선형성 문제는 사용할 전압범위를 바꾸거나 이 선형편광 회전기의 회전각에 대한 피팅곡선을 사용하면 쉽게 해결할 수 있다.

A small number of active galactic nuclei are known to exhibit prominent double peak emission profiles indicating the presence of a relativistic accretion disk model. Using a Monte Carlo technique, we compute the linear polarization of a double peaked broad emission line. A Keplerian accretion disk is adopted for the double peak emission line region and the Schwarzschild geometry is assumed in the emission region. Far from the accretion disk where flat Minkowski geometry is appropriate, we place a scattering region in the shape of a spherical shell sliced. We generate a line photon in the accretion disk in an arbitraray direction in the local rest frame and follow the geodesic of the photon until it hits the scattering region. The profile of the polarized flux is mainly determined by the relative location of the scattering region with respect to the emission source. When the scattering region is in the polar direction, the linear degree of polarization also shows a double peak structure. Under a favorable condition we show that up to 1% of linear degree of polarization may be obtained.

자이로스코프용 광대역폭 erbium 첨가 광섬유 광원에서 중심파장의 편광의존성을 억제하기 위하여 펌프광의 편광을 변조함으로써 스크램블링하는 방식을 사용하였다. 원통형 PZT에 광섬유를 감은 형태의 편광변조기에 적정진폭의 변조를 가함으로써 펌프광의 편광도(시간평균치)를 1.4%까지 낮출 수 있었다. 펌프 편광 스크램블러와 출력단 depolarizer를 함께 사용한 경우에 임의의 편광변화에 대한 광원의 중심파장 변화가 측정기의 측정한계(∼5 ppm) 이하로 관찰되었다.

본 논문에서는 편파화 정도(Degree of Polarization: DoP)와 동일 편파 위상차(Co-polarized Phase-Difference: CPD)를 이용한 SAR 영상 분류법을 제안한다. 우선, 측정된 stokes 산란 operator로부터 DoP와 CPD를 얻는 계산식을 유도하고, SAR 영상 분류 과정을 설명한다. 다음에는 측정에서 얻은 완전 편파 L밴드 SAR 영상 데이터에 분류법을 적용하여 그 정확성을 검증하고, 예외 경우를 검토한다. 마지막으로 제안된 분류법으로 SAR 영상을 크게 4가지 그룹인 맨땅, 낮은 식물, 높은 식물, 주거 지역(마을)으로 분류한 결과를 보인다.
