The phase separated structure and the electro-optical properties of the (polymer/liquid) crystal : LC) composite film strongly depended on the weight fraction of LC in it. The continuous LC phase was formed in a three-dimensional polymer network when the LC weight fraction was above 40wt%. The aggregation structure of the composite film could be controlled by controlling the solvent evaporation velocity during the film preparation process. The smaller LC domains or channels were formed in the case of the faster solvent evaporation velocity. The composite film exhibited reversible light scattering-light transmission switching upon electric field -OFF and -ON states, respectiverly. The light scattering properties of the composite film strongly depended on the spatial distortion of the nematic directors as well as the mismatch in refractive indices between matrix polymer and LC.

AZO(Aluminum-doped Zinc Oxide) films are attractive materials as transparent conductive electrode because they are inexpensive, nontoxic and abundant element compared with ITO(Indium Tin Oxide). AZO films have been deposited on glass (corning 1737) substrates by RF magnetron sputtering. The AZO film was post-annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr with $N_2$ atmosphere. The AZO films were used as an anode contact to fabricate OLEDs(Organic Light Emitting Diodes). OLEDs with $AZO/TPD/Alq_3/Al$ configuration were fabricated by thermal evaporation. We investigated that the electric, structural and optical properties of AZO thin films, which measured using the methods of XRD, SEM, Hall measurement and Spectrophotometer. The current density-voltage and luminescence-voltage properties of devices were studied and compared with ITO devices fabricated under the same conditions.

The optical characteristics of merocyanine dyes have been investigated widely due to their possible application to the high efficiency photo-electric devices. The optical systems are mostly fabricated using vacuum evaporation. casting and Langmuir-Blodgett method and the arrangement and orientation of dye molecules is one of the most important factors in the study on the optical characteristics. In this study. we fabricated the molecular systems through the LB techniques and investigated the optical characteristics of merocyanine dye LB film using the oscillation characteristics of quartz crystal.

Annealing effects on the properties of Bi-doped ZnO thin films were investigated. Bi- doped ZnO thin films were deposited on quartzs substrates at 300℃ by using radio-frequency magnetron sputtering system. Post heat treatments at 600, 700, and 800℃ were performed to evaluate the effect of annealing temperatures on the structural, optical, and electrical properties of Bi-doped ZnO thin films. FE-SEM images showed the dramatic surface morphology changes by rearrangement of elements at high heat treatment temperature of 800℃. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that the peaks of the Bi-doped ZnO thin films were same as the peaks of the (002) planes of ZnO peak-positioned at 2θ=34.0° and peak intensities and FWHMs were improved as the annealing temperatures increased. The optical transmittance was improved with increasing annealing temperatures and was over 80% in the wavelength region between 435 and 1100 nm at the annealing temperature of 700 and 800℃. With increasing annealing temperature, the electron concentrations and electron mobilities were increased. On the other hand, electric resistivity of the films were decreased with increasing annealing temperatures. These results showed that the heat treatment temperature is an important parameter to improve the structural, optical, and electrical properties of Bi-doped ZnO thin films.

A fishing lamp is the instrument for attracting distributed fish to a certain place, and is the lighting system mainly used in fishery. In the inshore fishing, most fishing lamps are used for squid and hairtail jigging fishing, and the light source of the fishing lamps mainly used is metal halide with 1.5 KW in electric power consumption. We will analyze the irradiance distribution according to depth because squid is attracted towards light. To analyze irradiance distribution by such fishing lamps, data for seawater Type-II among the seawater types defined in 1976 are applied to East Sea. However, the Type-II data have limitations in analyzing precise seawater transmission characteristics, due to insufficient information on deep seawater. This paper analyzed the irradiance distribution of fishing lamps using the measurement of transmission characteristics in the seawater in East Sea up to 100 m underwater instead of Type-II data, which is not sufficient for transmission. A compensation factor was drawn between the actual measurement data and Type-II data through seawater transmission characteristics simulation.

The glass of $BaO-GeO_2-La_2O_3-ZnO$ system with a transmittance of more than 75 % at mid-wave infrared (MWIR) region in the range of $3{\mu}m$ to $5{\mu}m$ is manufactured and its property is evaluated. After selecting construction that can melt glass through flow button test, $BaO-GeO_2-La_2O_3$ system where 10 mol%, 20 mol% of ZnO were added respectively were melted at $1350^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour and $BaO-GeO_2-La_2O_3$ system of glass was manufactured. Among them, with 20 mol% of ZnO, 16 mol% BaO-56 mol% $GeO_2-8mol%$ $La_2O_3-16mol%$ ZnO system of glass was found to has less than $660^{\circ}C$ of glass transition temperature, more than 1.70 of refractive index, and more than 530 of knoop hardness. Therefore, it is concluded that glass of $BaO-GeO_2-La_2O_3-ZnO$ system of glass with 20 mol% ZnO has good melting conditions at low temperatures and excellent optical properties, thus, can be utilized for special optical materials field.

SMM is a dynamic noncontact electric force microscopy that allows simultaneous access to the electrical properties of molecular system such as surface potential, surface charge, dielectric constant and conductivity along with the topography. SNOAM is a new tool for surface imaging which was introduced as one application of AFM. Operated with non-contact forces between the optical fiber and sample as well as equipped with the piezoscanners, the instrument reports on surface topology without damaging or modifying the surface for measuring of optical characteristic in the films. Here we report our recent results of its application to nanoscopic study of domain structures and electrical functionality in organic thin films by SMM. Furthermore, we have illustrated the SNOAM image in obtaining the merocyanine dye films as well as the optical image.

Near-field properties of light emanated from a subwavelength double slit of finite length in a thin metal film, which is essential for understanding fundamental physical mechanisms for near-field optical beam manipulations and various potential nanophotonic device applications, is investigated by using a three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method. Near-field intensity distribution along the propagation direction of light after passing through the slit has been obtained from the phase relation of transverse electric and magnetic fields and the wave impedance. It is found that the near field of emerged light from the both slits is evanescent, that is consistent with conventional surface plasmon localization near the metal surface. Due to the finite of the slit, the amplitude of this evanescent field does not monotonically approach to than of the infinite slit as the slit length increases, i.e. the near-field of the longer slit along the center line can be weaker than that of the shorter one.
