The purpose of this paper is to describe the transition of a 1,100 beds teritary hospital from 50% softcopy operation to full PACS operation. For the past 2 years, radiologists and clinicians have been using PACS to provide softcopy services to the outpatient clinics and inpatient wards of orthopedics surgery, neurosurgery and neurology as well as emergency room, surgical intensive care unit, medical intensive unit, pediatrics intensive care unit and neonatal intensive care unit. The examinations requested by these departments account for about 50% of hospital's radiological exams. In September 1996, we began the second phase of PACS implementation and installed additional workstations (102) in the remaining wards and clinics, interfaced to PACS additional imaging modalites, and increased the capacity of both the image server (256 Gbytes) and optical juke boxes (3 Tbytes). As of January 1997, we are in the final phase of moving away from conventional film system to full PACS operation.

전 세계적으로 스마트폰이 널리 보급되고 있으며, 이에 따라 이동통신망에서 데이터 통신의 수요가 폭증하고 있다. 이를 수용하기 위하여 전 세계적으로 LTE-Advanced와 같은 차세대 이동통신 서비스가 보급되고 있다. 이러한 LTE-Advanced 기지국을 구현함에 있어서 DU(digital unit)와 RU(radio unit)로 분리된 형상의 기지국이 많이 사용되고 있다. 이때에 DU와 RU를 연결하는 네트워크 구간인 Fronthaul 구간에 기존에는 CPRI(common public radio interface)라는 디지털 광통신 기술로 구현되어 왔으나, 폭증하는 데이터 수용을 감당하기에는 그 한계에 다다른 상태이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 이 구간을 아날로그 광통신 기술인 RoF(Radio over Fiber)로 구현하여 폭증하는 전송용량을 경제적으로 수용할 수 있는 방안을 연구하였다. 또한, LTE-Advanced 이동통신망의 Fronthaul 구간을 RoF로 구현하기 위한 기술적인 요구사항을 연구하였다.

FTTH 인프라 구축이 활성화됨에 따라 광섬유의 대역폭을 효과적으로 이용하기 위한 기술들이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 특히, 방송통신 융합 서비스에 대한 관심과 연구가 활발히 진행되면서 하나의 광섬유를 통해 다수의 방송 서비스를 수용할 수 있는 광 비디오 네트워크 단말장치(VONU: Video Optical Network Unit)의 연구가 요구되고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 비디오 광 송신장치에서 전광 변환된 디지털 및 아날로그 CATV(Community Antenna TeleVision) 방송 신호와 위성 안테나를 통해 수신되어 전광 변환된 위성방송 신호가 하나의 FITH 광 선로를 통해 전송되고 이를 광전 변환하여 출력하는 VONU를 개발한다. 본 연구에서 개발하는 VONU는 데이터통신 채널을 이용한 IPTV 방송과 함께 CATV, 위성방송 등 모든 방송 콘텐츠를 하나의 광섬유 코어를 통해 전송할 수 있기 때문에 경제적인 방송통신 융합 서비스의 구현이 가능해 진다. 그러나, 서비스 별로 별도의 광수신기를 사용할 경우와는 달리 서비스간 간섭, 신호 왜곡, 잡음비 증가 등에 따른 방송 품질 저하 등의 병존성 문제가 발생하기 때문에 이에 대한 문제를 해결하기 위한 기술들이 필수적이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 제시하는 VONU는 이에 대한 해결방안을 제안한다.

To measure the flow velocity and direction in the near field of an unmanned underwater vehicle, an optical measurement unit containing an image sensor and a phosphor-integrated pillar that mimics the neuromasts of a fish was constructed. To analyze pillar movement, which changes with fluid flow, fluorescence image analysis was conducted. To analyze the flow velocity, mean force analysis, which could determine the relationship between the light intensity of a fluorescence image and an external force, and length-force analysis, which could determine the distance between the center points of two fluorescence images, were employed. Additionally, angle analysis that can determine the angles at which pixels of a digital image change was selected to analyze the direction of fluid flow. The flow velocity analysis results showed a high correlation of 0.977 between the external force and the light intensity of the fluorescence image, and in the case of direction analysis, omnidirectional movement could be analyzed. Through this study, we confirmed the effectiveness of optical flow sensors equipped with phosphor-integrated pillars.

In recent years, as the demands of VBNS(Very high speed Backbone Network Service) and VDSL(Very high-data rate Digital Subscriber Line) increase, the development of kernel parts of optical communication such as PLC(Planar Light Circuit), Coupler, WDM elements increase. The alignment and the attachment technology are very important to fabricate the optical elements for communication. In this paper, the mechanism of rotational stage, the contact sensing unit, and integrated control circuit for the optical alignment system are studied.

We demonstrate a next-generation high-capacity mobile fronthaul based on radio over fiber (RoF) technology, which links between a digital unit and a radio unit supporting two frequency assignments and $2{\times}2$ multiple input, multiple output antennas. To confirm the technical feasibility of a mobile fronthaul, we experimentally investigate its down- and uplink end-to-end performances including the optical and radio frequency (RF) signal path. Frequency-dependent performance deviations, error vector magnitude variations, overall system performance variations caused by optical to electrical conversion, and intermediate frequency to RF conversions are examined. Experimental verifications on multiple LTE uplink signals are performed for the first time. We also demonstrate several commercial mobile Internet services, YouTube video streaming, and file transfers using off-the-shelf mobile devices, through a mobile fronthaul based on RoF.

High-performance smartphones, equipped with a digital camera and an application software, can render conventional bench-top laboratory instruments mobile at affordable costs. As the smartphone-based devices are portable and wireless, they have wide applications especially in providing point-of-care (POC) tests in resource-constrained areas. We developed a hand-held diagnostic system, Mobile SmartScope, which consists of a small optical unit integrated with a smartphone. The performance of the SmartScope was favorably compared with that of conventional light microscopy in detecting and quantifying red blood cells. We also evaluated the fluorescence detection limit of the SmartScope incorporated with a blue light-emitting diode and appropriate optical filters by using fluorescently labeled microbeads for intensity calibration.

This paper describes the designed and fabricated thermal imaging system with the SPRITE(Signal PRocessing in The Element) detector, operating in the 3-12 micron band. This system consists of an afocal telescope, a scan unit containing the SPRITE detector, an electronic processor unit and a cooler. The optical scan system utilizing rotating polygon and oscillating mirror, is 2-dimensional serial/parallel scan type using five elements of the detector. And the electronic processor unit performs digital scan conversion to reform the parallel data stream into serial analog data compatable with conventional RS-170 video. The scan field of view is 40 ${\times}$ 26.7 and the MRTD(Minium Resolvable Temperature Difference) is 0.6 K at 7.5 cycles/mm. The acquired thermal image indicates that this system has a satisfactory performance.

Recently, there is a strong need of DVD (Digital Versatile Disk) system of high density. high speed, and high accuracy System performances mostly depend on not only optical system, but also servo technology to drive it. Therefore, we investigate main technology concerned with optical pick-up unit based on 4.7GB DVD-RAM and analyzes technology of optical and servo systems that are required for high density high speed and high accuracy from the viewpoint of control. And then, we design a linear controller based on specification of 4.7GB DVD-RAM that is commercially available now. We analyze the dynamic characteristics of optical system that is coupled with control system and verify effect on performance indices of servo due to Parameter variation of pick-up by simulation. Finally, we will propose controller design specifications and provide direction of technical development for servo system and problems coupled with high capacity for 15GB level in the future.

컴퓨터생성홀로그램은 수학적으로 모델링된 광학적인 현상을 컴퓨터로 연산한 것이다. 이때 방대한 량의 연산이 필요하기 때문에 실시간으로 고해상도의 홀로그램을 얻기 위해서는 고속 기법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 CGH를 위한 두 가지 병렬화를 제안한다. 첫 번째는 GPU 내에서 CGH 알고리즘을 병렬화하는 것이고, 두 번째는 다수의 GPU를 위한 병렬화이다. 제안한 알고리즘 구조는 CUDA를 이용하여 GTX780 Ti GPU에 구현하였다. 약 10K의 입체 정보를 이용하여 $1,024{\times}1,024$의 컬러 홀로그램을 생성하는데 약 106ms가 소요된다.
