Cooled infrared detector is widely used as the core part in a variety of the thermal imaging systems. For the selection of the highly reliable cooled infrared detector with good performance, it is necessary for us to possess the characterization methods of the well defined performance index of cooled infrared detector. In this paper, various performance index of the cooled infrared detector including reliability as well as the optical and cooling performance of cooled infrared detector are defined and their characterization methods will be investigated and implemented systematically.

The Cd_0.95Mn_0.05Te_0.98Se_0.02 (CMTS) ingot was grown by the vertical Bridgman technique at low pressure. All wafers showed high resistivity, which suggests potential as a room-temperature semiconductor detector. The resistivity of the CMTS planar detector was 1.47 × 10¹⁰ Ω·cm and mobility lifetime product of electrons was 1.29 × 10^-3 cm²/V. The spectroscopic property with Am-241 and Co-57 was evaluated. The energy resolution about 59.5 keV gamma-ray of Am-241 was 11% and the photo-peak of 122 keV gamma-ray from Co-57 was clearly distinguished. The result shows the first detector-grade CMTS in the world and proves CMTS's potential as a radiation detector operating at room temperature.

Bias current dependence of a superconducting strip photon detector is studied in the wavelength range of 405 to 1310 nm. The detector is made of an $MgB_2$ meander pattern with the line width of 135 nm and thickness of 10 nm. At 1310 nm, the detection efficiency exponentially decreases as the bias current decreases. While at 405 nm, the detection efficiency almost saturates in the high bias current region. These features suggest that the intrinsic detection efficiency of the $MgB_2$ detector is high at 405 nm.

이 연구에서는 저자들이 개발한 비정질 셀레늄층과 비정질 실리콘TFT배열을 사용하는 직접방식 디지털 X-선 영상 검출기에 대해 IEC (international electrotechnical commission)와 같은 국제표준으로 권고된 측정방법에 따라 특성을 평가하였다. 영상 성능 묘사에 사용되는 측정은 응답특성(response characteristic), 변조전달함수(MTF, modulation transfer function), 잡음전력스펙트럼(NPS, noise power spectrum), 양자검출효율(DQE, detective quantum efficiency), 양자제한 성능을 포함하고 있다. 영상특성평가 결과, 개발된 검출기의 DQE 값은 최저주파수와 최고주파수에서 각각 40%와 25%이었다. 해외 타사의 제품과 비교해서도 우월한 값을 나타내었다. 또한 MTF는 간접방식 DR, CR과 비교하면 매우 우월한 성능을 보이고 있다. 또한 양자 제한된 특성을 평가한 결과, 0.023 mR 이하에서만 제한된 특성을 보여 일반촬영용도로서 적합성을 확인할 수 있었다.

Background: Simultaneous detection of neutrons and gamma rays have become much more practicable, by taking advantage of good gamma-ray discrimination properties using pulse shape discrimination (PSD) technique. Recently, we introduced a commercial CLYC system in Korea, and performed an initial characterization and simulation studies for the CLYC detector system to provide references for the future implementation of the dual-mode scintillator system in various studies and applications. Materials and Methods: We evaluated a CLYC detector with 95% $^6Li$ enrichment using various gamma-ray sources and a $^{252}Cf$ neutron source, with validation of our Monte Carlo simulation results via measurement experiments. Absolute full-energy peak efficiency values were calculated for gamma-ray sources and neutron source using MCNP6 and compared with measurement experiments of the calibration sources. In addition, behavioral characteristics of neutrons were validated by comparing simulations and experiments on neutron moderation with various polyethylene (PE) moderator thicknesses. Results and Discussion: Both results showed good agreements in overall characteristics of the gamma and neutron detection efficiencies, with consistent ~20% discrepancy. Furthermore, moderation of neutrons emitted from $^{252}Cf$ showed similarities between the simulation and the experiment, in terms of their relative ratios depending on the thickness of the PE moderator. Conclusion: A CLYC detector system was characterized for its energy resolution and detection efficiency, and Monte Carlo simulations on the detector system was validated experimentally. Validation of the simulation results in overall trend of the CLYC detector behavior will provide the fundamental basis and validity of follow-up Monte Carlo simulation studies for the development of our dual-particle imager using a rotational modulation collimator.

Since the first detection of gravitational-wave (GW), GW150914, September 14th 2015, the multi-messenger astronomy added a new way of observing the Universe together with electromagnetic (EM) waves and neutrinos. After two years, GW together with its EM counterpart from binary neutron stars, GW170817 and GRB170817A, has been observed. The detection of GWs opened a new window of astronomy/astrophysics and will be an important messenger to understand the Universe. In this article, we briefly review the gravitational-wave and the astrophysical sources and introduce the basic principle of the laser interferometer as a gravitational-wave detector and its noise sources to understand how the gravitational-waves are detected in the laser interferometer. Finally, we summarize the search algorithms currently used in the gravitational-wave observatories and the detector characterization algorithms used to suppress noises and to monitor data quality in order to improve the reach of the astrophysical searches.

원통형 microwave cavity를 이용한 플라즈마 발생장치를 기체크로마토그라프에 연결하여 원자발광 검출기로 사용하였다. 이 장치를 이용하여 몇 가지 원소에 대한 검출한계를 결정하였다. 브롬과 황에 대한 검출한계는 각각 0.46 pg/s 와 0.51 ng/s였으며, 운반기체의 유량이 10~20 mL/min에서 안정한 플라즈마를 얻을 수 있었다.

In this work, we optimized a microbolometer for application of a $CO_2$ detector by using MEMS technology. We fabricated a stable thermal isolation structure by varying the lengths of supporting legs which affect bolometer performance. We could fabricate more stable thermal isolation structure for the microbolometer through the results of ANSYS simulations, and minimize the fabrication processes by using bulk micromachining to use a $CO_2$ detector. The microbolometer shows a detectivity of $2.5{\times}109$ cmHz$^{1/2}$/W at a chopper frequency of 8 Hz and a bias current of $6.25\;{\mu}A$ with a vacuum package of about $3.0{\times}10.3$ torr. Therefore, we put to conclusion that the microbolometer optimized in this experiment could be useful for the application of a $CO_2$ detector.
