We have simulated and proposed novel optical cavity, which has two elliptical mirrors, for NDIR gas sensor module and have tested it from 0 ppm to 2,000 ppm $CO_2$ concentration. The proposed sensor module shows the maximum peak voltage at 500 ms pulse modulation time, however, it shows a maximum voltage changes at 200 ms pulse duration with 18,000 times amplification gain. From 0 ppm to 2,000 ppm, the voltage difference of sensor module $({\Delta}V)$ shows 360 mV at 200 ms pulse duration and 3 sec turn-off time. The response time of designed sensor module is about 30 seconds.

At the time that the Keck-I 10m telescope was constructed in 1993, the era of Very Large Telescopes (VLTs) was opened. Now thirteen VLTs are in operation, and the largest of the monolithic mirrors is 8.4 m in diameter. Such monolithic mirrors are mostly aspheric and require high accuracies on the surface figures, reaching up to the diffraction limit. At present, next generation telescopes, Giant telescopes, are being developed. One is the GMT (Giant Magellan Telescope) whose size is 25.4 m in diameter. The primary mirror consists of seven segments figuring elliptical shapes on the surface. The surrounding six segments are off-axis and the edges are steep, as the fast focal ratio is adopted. It means that testing of the mirrors is a challenging task. In this paper, testing methods for the GMT primary mirror are reviewed, and accuracy of measuring devices is assessed. Results and discussions follow.

We report the development of miniature fluorescence detection systems that employ miniature prism, mirrors and low coat CCD camera to detect the fluorescence emitted from 40 fluorescently-labeled protein patterns without scanner. This kind of miniature fluorescence detection system can be used in point of care. We introduce two systems, one uses prism+mirror block and the other uses prism and two mirrors. A large NA microscope eyepiece and low cost CCD camera are used. We fabricated protein chip containing multi-pattern BSA labeled with Cy5, using MEMS technology and modified the surface chemically to clean and to immobilize proteins. The measurements show that the combination of prism and mirrors can homogenize elliptical excitation light over the sample with higher optical efficiency, and increase the separation between excitation and fluorescence light at the CCD to give higher signal intensity and higher signal to noise ratio. The measurements also show that protein concentrations ranging from 10 ng/ml to 1000 ng/ml can be assayed with very small error. We believe that the proposed fluorescence detection system can be refined to build a commercially valuable hand-held or miniature detection device.

Light-emitting diodes (LED) have many advantages for dental astral lighting because of their high color rendering index (CRI), low power consumption, light weight and longer life. A dental astral lamp is specially designed and simulated for securing the extra space for installing a multimedia display that will be helpful for treating young patients. The optical system using the reverse dual reflection method consisted of four illumination modules disposed at the four corners of the dental astral lamp, and each module comprises a high power LED, an elliptical mirror, and a multifacet reflector assembly using eight cylindrical mirrors. It is shown that the required illuminance, illumination pattern, and the illumination uniformity are well satisfied.

This paper describes NDIR $CO_2$ gas sensor that shows the characteristics of temperature compensation. It consists of novel optical cavity that has two elliptical mirrors and a thermopile detector that includes ASIC chip in the same metal package for the amplification of detector output voltage and temperature sensor. The newly developed sensor modules shows high accuracy (less than +/-40 ppm) throughout the measuring concentration of $CO_2$ gas from 0 ppm to 2,000 ppm. After implementing the calculation methods of gas concentration, which is based upon the experimental results, the sensor module shows high accuracy less than +/- 5 ppm error throughout the measuring temperature range $(15^{\circ}C\;to\; 35^{\circ}C)$ and gas concentrations.

본 논문에서는 두 개의 오목 반사경으로 형성된 광 공동 구조의 비문산 적외선 (NDIR) 가스센서를 제작하였다. 증폭비는 18,000 배, 램프 off 시간은 3초로 일정하게 하고 펄스 modulation 시간을 200ms에서 600ms까지 변화시켰을 때. 300ms에서 가장 효율적인 출력신호를 확보할 수 있었다. 그리고 $5^{\circ}C$에서 $45^{\circ}C$까지 $10^{\circ}C$ 간격으로 온도를 변화시키면서 이산화탄소의 농도를 0ppm에서 2000ppm까지 증가시켰다. 이때, 약 400mV의 전압변화가 있었다. 온도가 상승함에 따라 0ppm에서의 출력전압은 감소하는 양상을 나타내었다. 또한 온도변화 대비 출력특성과의 상관성 해석을 통하여 온도 보상 방법을 고안하였으며, 본 연구에서 제작한 센서모듈의 응답시간은 약 30초였다.

본 논문은 온도보상의 특성을 보여주는 비분산 적외선 이산화탄소 가스센서에 대해 기술하였다. 이 가스센서는 두개의 오목한 반사경을 가진 광 공동, 검출기 출력 전압과 온도센서의 증폭을 위해 동일한 금속 패키지 내에 제작된 ASIC 칩을 포함한 써모파일 검출기로 구성되어 있다. 새롭게 개발된 센서 모듈은 0 ppm에서 2,000ppm까지 이산화탄소 가스의 농도를 측정한 결과 ${\pm}40\;ppm$의 오차를 보였으며, 실험 결과에 기초한 가스농도의 계산 방법으로부터 센서 모듈은 $15^{\circ}C$에서 $35^{\circ}C$ 온도 구간에서 ${\pm}5\;ppm$의 오차를 나타냄으로써 높은 정확성을 가진 자기 온도 보상형 센서를 제작하였다.
