If the displacement of the structure is obtained by integrating the signal from accelorometer and laser, the vibration mode can be examined. This conventional method, however, has the disadvantage of the necessity of multiple accelerometers and many data processing steps such as frequency response function(FRF). In order to get smooth mode shape, we should also use algorithms of cubic spline or others. In this paper, we propose a method which gets the mode shape by using the velocity signal directly obtained from the plane scanning. In this method, we just use coefficients and phases for specific frequency.

The auditory system of the Korean greater horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus ferrumequinum korai, RFK) is adapted to its own echolocation signal, which consist of constant frequency (CF) element and frequency modulated (FM) element. In contrast, the Japanese long-fingered bat (Miniopterus schreibersii fuliginosus, MSF) emits FM signals. In the present study, the characteristics of stereocilia in RFK (a CF/FM bat) and MSF (a FM bat) were studied in the apical turn of the cochlea where the lower frequencies are transduced. Stereocilia lengths and numbers were quantitatively measured in RFK by scanning electron microscopy and compared with those of MSF. Each inner hair cells (IHCs) of RFK possessed three rows of stereocilia, whereas MSF possessed five rows of stereocilia. Gradients in stereocilia lengths and numbers of stereocilia of the IHCs of RFK were found to be less pronounced and fewer, respectively, than those of MSF. Each outer hair cells (OHCs) possessed three rows of stereocilia in both species. OHCs stereocilia in RFK that distinguished it from MSF were a shorter length and a greater number of stereocilia. These features suggest that the apical cochleas of RFK are adapted for the processing of higher frequency echolocation calls rather than that of MSF.

A 3-stages Active Microstrip Phased Array Antenn(AMPAA) is implemented using Injection-Locking Coupled Oscillators(ILCO). The AMPAA is a beam scanning active antenna with capability of electrical scanning by frequency varation of ILCO. The synchronization of resonance frequencies in array elements is occured by ILCO, and the ILCO amplifies the injection signal and functions as a phase shifter. The microstrip ptch is operated as a radiation element. The unilateral amplifier is a mutual coupling element of AMPAA, eliminates the reverse locking signal and controls the locking bandwidth of ILCO. The possibility of Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits(MMIC) of T/R module is proposed by simplified and integrated fabrication process of AMPAA. The 0.75.$lambda_{0}$ is fixed for a mutual coupling space to wide the scanning angle and minimize the multi-mode. The AMPAA has beam scanning angle of 31.4.deg., HPBW(Half Power Beam Widths) of 26.deg., directive gain of 13.64dB and side lobe of -16.5dB were measured, respectively.

We propose to use transverse waves instead of longitudinal waves in a scanning tomographic acoustic microscope (STAM) and new type of multiple-transducer with the functions of muliple-angle and multiple-frequency tomography. Proposed multiple-transducer scheme has three insonification angles and three resonance frequencies in order to operate in the transverse wave mode and multiple-angle and multiple frequency tomography for the STAM. In order to evaluate the performance of proposed transducer scheme we have simulated tomographic reconstruction with back-and-forth propagation(BFP) algorithm. Simulation results showed proposed multiple-transducer scheme is capable of obtaining good resolution with transverse wave mode and multiple-frequency tomography. It is also showed that proposed scheme is an efficient rotation scheme by proportion to the number of projections.

This paper demonstrates the validity of spectral element analysis for modeling the high-frequency dynamic behaviors of a beam with a surface-bonded piezoelectric wafer through a laboratory test. In the spectral element analysis, the high-frequency electro-mechanical interaction can be considered properly with relatively low computational cost compared to the finite element analysis. In the verification test, a cantilever beam with a surface-bonded piezoelectric wafer is forced to be in steady-state motion by exerting the harmonic driving voltage signal on the piezoelectric wafer. A laser scanning vibrometer is used to obtain the overall dynamic responses of the structure such as resonance frequencies, the associated mode shapes, and frequency response functions up to 20 kHz. Then, these dynamic responses from the test are compared to those computed by the spectral element analysis. A two-dimensional finite analysis is conducted to obtain the asymptotic solutions for the comparison purpose as well.

Frequency Scanning Interferometry(FSI) system, one of the most promising optical surface measurement techniques, generally results in superior optical performance comparing with other 3-dimensional measuring methods as its hardware structure is fixed in operation and only the light frequency is scanned in a specific spectral band without vertical scanning of the target surface or the objective lens. FSI system collects a set of images of interference fringe by changing the frequency of light source. After that, it transforms intensity data of acquired image into frequency information, and calculates the height profile of target objects with the help of frequency analysis based on Fast Fourier Transform(FFT). However, it still suffers from optical noise on target surfaces and relatively long processing time due to the number of images acquired in frequency scanning phase. 1) a Polarization-based Frequency Scanning Interferometry(PFSI) is proposed for optical noise robustness. It consists of tunable laser for light source, ${\lambda}/4$ plate in front of reference mirror, ${\lambda}/4$ plate in front of target object, polarizing beam splitter, polarizer in front of image sensor, polarizer in front of the fiber coupled light source, ${\lambda}/2$ plate between PBS and polarizer of the light source. Using the proposed system, we can solve the problem of fringe image with low contrast by using polarization technique. Also, we can control light distribution of object beam and reference beam. 2) the signal processing acceleration method is proposed for PFSI, based on parallel processing architecture, which consists of parallel processing hardware and software such as Graphic Processing Unit(GPU) and Compute Unified Device Architecture(CUDA). As a result, the processing time reaches into tact time level of real-time processing. Finally, the proposed system is evaluated in terms of accuracy and processing speed through a series of experiment and the obtained results show the effectiveness of the proposed system and method.

For the implementation of a real-time holographic camera, fast and automatic holographic image reconstruction is an essential technology. In this paper, we propose a new automatic depth-detection algorithm for fast holography reconstruction, which is particularly useful for optical scanning holography. The proposed algorithm is based on the inherent phase difference information in the heterodyne signals, and operates without any additional optical or electrical components. An optical scanning holography setup was created using a heterodyne frequency of 4 MHz with a 500-mm distance and 5-mm depth resolution. The reconstruction processing time was measured to be 0.76 s, showing a 62% time reduction compared to a recent study.

The traditional surface measuring method using confocal principle requires much time to measure an object surface since it is a scanning tool. In this paper, the upgraded confocal microscope is introduced. It is also a scanning tool but it requires 2D-scanning while the traditional one requires 3D-scanning. It means the time for measuring is considerably reduced. In addition, the measuring system is configured to increase the efficiency of beam. He-Ne laser whose frequency is 632.8nm is used for the laser source. An example of measuring result through the upgraded confocal microscope is showed.

Images were acquired by the modulation of terahertz electromagnetic signals and compared by modulation frequencies. For the real-time acquisition of images a fast scanning method has been adopted utilizing a galvanometer. The acquired time domain waveforms were transformed into frequency domain data by fast Fourier transformations (FFT). We chose some frequency components to compare the resolution of images. The beam profiles at the focal position were measured by a knife-edge technique. Beam diameter was shown to decrease as the frequency increased. By scanning one- and two-dimensional samples a significant image enhancement was observed with the frequency increment. A nondesouctive imaging system using ㎔ electromagnetic pulses was also demonstrated.
