A new method for early caries diagnosis was proposed and tested through a home-made optical examination system that used quantitative light fluorescence (QLF) and digital imaging fiber optic transillumination (FOTI) (DIFOTI), with light sources across a wide spectral range, from 350 nm to 1,000 nm. The front-illuminated infrared light scattering image (FIR) showed similar diagnostic abilities to that of DIFOTI. The FIR method was invented based on the observation that caries lesions lose the high transmittance and low scattering properties of benign enamel tissue. There are various methods for the early diagnosis of caries, such as visual examination, exploration, X-ray radiography, QLF, FOTI, and infrared fluorescence (diagnodent). Among them, methods based on optical properties are regarded as having the most potential. A comparative study was performed between the FOTI, QLF, diagnodent, optical coherence tomography, and FIR scattering image methods, using 20 extracted teeth samples with early caries. A scale of lesion measurement based on optical image contrast was proposed. The statistical analysis showed a significant correlation between the DIFOTI and FIR methods (r = 0.35, p < 0.05). However, the QLF and diagnodent methods showed little association with FIR images, as they have different detection principles as compared with FIR. Tomographic images obtained by OCT, using 1,330 nm super luminescent LED as a gold standard of tooth structure, verified that the FOTI and FIR results correctly represented the lack of homogeneity in dental tissue. The newly proposed FIR method attained similar diagnostic results to those of FOTI, but with an easier approach.

In the past decade, the infrared detectors based on intersubband transition in quantum dots (QDs) have attracted much attention due to lower dark currents and increased lifetimes, which are in turn due a three-dimensional confinement and a reduction of scattering, respectively. In parallel, focal plane array development for infrared imaging has proceeded from the first to third generations (linear arrays, 2D arrays for staring systems, and large format with enhanced capabilities, respectively). For a step further towards the next generation of FPAs, it is envisioned that a two-dimensional metal hole array (2D-MHA) structures will improve the FPA structure by enhancing the coupling to photodetectors via local field engineering, and will enable wavelength filtering. In regard to the improved performance at certain wavelengths, it is worth pointing out the structural difference between previous 2D-MHA integrated front-illuminated single pixel devices and back-illuminated devices. Apart from the pixel linear dimension, it is a distinct difference that there is a metal cladding (composed of a number of metals for ohmic contact and the read-out integrated circuit hybridization) in the FPA between the heavily doped gallium arsenide used as the contact layer and the ROIC; on the contrary, the front-illuminated single pixel device consists of two heavily doped contact layers separated by the QD-absorber on a semi-infinite GaAs substrate. This paper is focused on analyzing the impact of a two dimensional metal hole array structure integrated to the back-illuminated quantum dots-in-a-well (DWELL) infrared photodetectors. The metal hole array consisting of subwavelength-circular holes penetrating gold layer (2DAu-CHA) provides the enhanced responsivity of DWELL infrared photodetector at certain wavelengths. The performance of 2D-Au-CHA is investigated by calculating the absorption of active layer in the DWELL structure using a finite integration technique. Simulation results show the enhanced electric fields (thereby increasing the absorption in the active layer) resulting from a surface plasmon, a guided mode, and Fabry-Perot resonances. Simulation method accomplished in this paper provides a generalized approach to optimize the design of any type of couplers integrated to infrared photodetectors.

Synchrotron X-ray micro-imaging technique was employed to monitor non-invasively the refilling process of water inside the xylem vessels in bamboo leaves. The consecutive phase-contrast X-ray images clearly show both plant anatomy and the transport of water inside the xylem vessels. Traces of water-rise, vapor bubbles and variations of contact angle between the water front and the xylem wall were measured in real time. During the refilling process, air bubbles are removed when the rising water front halts at a vessel end for a while. Subsequently, it starts rising again at a higher velocity than the normal refilling speed. Repeated cavitation seems to deteriorate the refilling ability in xylem vessels. In dark environment, the water refilling process in xylem vessels is facilitated more effectively than in bright illuminated conditions. Finally, X-ray micro-imaging was famed to be a powerful, high resolution, real time imaging tool to investigate the water refilling process in xylem vessels.

CCD 영상센서의 경우 포화 상태를 초과하는 막대한 양의 광자가 조사될 때 $Si-SiO_2$ 접합 면에서 전하가 포획될 순 있으며 이 접합 면에 남아 있는 전하와 관련되어 잔존영상이 보일 수 있다. 이러한 잔존영상은 특히 전면조사 방식의 CCD에서 일어난다. 이 현상이 정밀 측광에 영향을 줄 수 있음에도 불구하고 잔존영상에 대한 정량적인 분석과 보고간 국내에서는 찾아보기 힘들었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 전면조사 방식의 CCD를 사용하는 레몬산천문대 관측자료의 암전자화면에서 잔존영상을 확인하고 잔존영상이 관측에 미칠 수 있는 영향을 분석해 보았다.

Nanoporous-layer-covered TiO₂ nanotube arrays (Type II TNTs) were fabricated by two-step electrochemical anodization. For comparison, conventional TiO₂ nanotube arrays (Type I TNTs) were also prepared by one-step electrochemical anodization. Types I and II TNTs were detached by selective etching and then transferred successfully to a transparent F-doped SnO₂ (FTO) substrate by a sol-gel process. Both FTO/Types I and II TNTs allowed front side illumination to exhibit incident photon-to-current efficiencies (IPCEs) in the long wavelength region of 300 to 750 nm without the absorption of light by the iodine-containing electrolyte. The Type II TNT exhibited longer electron lifetime and faster charge transfer than the Type I TNT because of its relatively fewer defect states. These beneficial effects lead to a high overall energy conversion efficiency (5.32 %) of the resulting dye-sensitized solar cell.

Nanostructures have great potential in various devices due to the their promising electronic and optical properties. Nano-patterned the front surface of a solar cell generally results in improved performance, mostly due to an increase in the short-circuit current by the incident photons strike the cell surface at an angle. In this work, we investigate AFM-assisted nano-patterned field effect transistors (FETs) with vairous silicon oxide distance value D, from ${\sim}0.5{\mu}m$ to $1{\mu}m$. Also, we compared the electro-optical characteristics of the patterned FETs and the non-patterned FETs (reference device) based on both 2-dimensional simulation and experimental results for the wavelength from 100nm to 900nm. In addition, we report electric characteristics for illuminated surface in schottky barrier field effect transistors (SB-FETs).

In this study, we describe a simple selective etching method that produces noncurling, freestanding, large-area, aligned $TiO_2$ nanotube (NT) with doubly ends opened. The novel selective etching process only removed the thin 2nd bottom layer from the physically and chemically stable thick amorphous 1st top layer under thermal treatment at $250^{\circ}C$, yielding ordered doubly open-ended NT (DNT) that could be easily transferred to an FTO substrate for the fabrication of front-illuminated dye sensitized solar cells (DSCs). The DNT-DSCs yielded a higher PCE (8.6%) than was observed from $TiO_2$ nanoparticle (TNP)-based DSCs (7.3%), for comparable film thicknesses of $16{\mu}m$, despite of 20% decreased amount of dye. Intensity-modulated photocurrent and photovoltage spectroscopy (IMPS and IMVS, respectively) revealed that the DNT-DSCs exhibited electron lifetimes that were 10 times longer than those of TNP-DSCs, which contributed to high device performances.

양면에서 텅스텐 램프를 조사하는 실리콘 재결정시의 SOI(silicon-on-insulator) 다층구조에 대한 1차원적 온도 및 열원(열원)의 분포를 SOR(successive over-relaxation)방법을 이용하여 정상상태의 열방정식의 해로부터 구하였다. 열원의 분포는 광원의 스펙트럼, SOI sample 내부 계면에서의 다중반사, 광흡수 계수의 온도, 주파수 의존성 등을 고려하여 구하였으며, 열 방정식의 경계조건이 되는 wafer의 전면과 후면의 온도는 혹체복사 조건으로부터 구하였다. 내부계면에서는 전도열속(conduction heat flux)과 복사열속(radiation heat flux)에 의한 연속조건을 만족하도록 하였다. 본 문제에서의 온도분포와 열원의 분포는 상호간에 큰 영향을 주게 되므로, 두가지 변수가 일치되는 값을 보일 때까지 iteration을 계속하였다. Pyrometer을 이용하여 측정한 wafer 전면의 온도는 약1200°K이었고 이때의 simulation 결과는 1120°K 정도로 나타났다.

This paper presents an experimental investigation to visualize cross-sectional two-phase flow structure and identify liquid-gas interface for condensation of steam at a low mass flux in a slightly inclined tube using the axial-viewing technique, which permits to look directly into flow during condensation of steam. In this technique, two-phase flow is viewed along the axis of a pipe by locating a high-speed video camera in front of a viewer that is fitted at the outlet of the pipe. A short section of the pipe is illuminated and is recorded through the viewer, which is kept free of liquid by mildly introducing air. Experiments were conducted in a pipe of 19.05 mm in inner diameter at atmospheric pressure. Cross-sectional two-phase flow structure is obtained at a steam mass flux of $2.62kg/m^2s$ as a function of steam quality in the range from 0.5 to 0.9. The results show that stratified-wavy flow is a unique flow pattern observed in the scope of the present study. Condensate film thickness, stratification angle and void fraction were measured from the obtained flow structure images. Finally, heat transfer coefficient was calculated using the measurement data and discussed in comparison with existing correlations.

이 글은 유영주(Youngju Ryu)의 『겨울 공화국의 작가: 박정희 시대 한국의 문학과 저항』(Writers of the Winter Republic: Literature and Resistance in Park Chung Hee's Korea)의 내용을 소개하고, 이의 의의와 한계를 고찰하고자 한다. 이 책은 박정희 유신 시대의 문학과 정치의 관계를, 양성우, 김지하, 이문구, 조세희, 황석영을 중심으로 고찰하고 있다. 냉전 시대 미국 헤게모니와 박정희 정권의 관계를 조망하면서, 이를 바탕으로 양성우, 김지하 등 시인은 시, 재판기록, 회고록 등을 바탕으로 이들이 어떻게 박정희 정권에 대항했는지를 밝히고, 이문구 등의 소설가는 이들의 소설이 '이웃'이라는 키워드를 바탕으로 어떻게 박정희 정권에 대항하는 공동체를 상상했는지를 서술한다. 이는 박정희 시대의 문학이 어떻게 정권에 대항하는 최전선에 설 수 있었는지를 서술한다는 점에서 유의미하다. 그러나 영웅 서사로 이들의 문학과 삶을 다루면서, 다소 평면적으로 이들의 삶과 문학이 조명되고, 특히 이문구 등의 소설가들의 삶과 문학은 2000년대 이후까지 연속적으로 다루어지는 반면 양성우와 김지하의 2000년대에 대해서는 침묵하고 있다는 점은 아쉽다. 더 나아가 1970년대 문학과 정치의 관계를 남성의, 남성에 의한, 남성에 대(항)한 문학으로만 조명하고, 이를 오늘날 박민규와 연결시킨다는 점에서 '정치'에 대한 다소 협소한 규정과 여성 작가들이 전혀 언급되지 않은 것이 아쉽다. 종합적으로 이 책은 한국 1970년대의 한국문학과 정치의 관계를 풍부한 자료와 아름다운 문체로 소개하는 것은 물론, 한국의 한국학 연구자들에게 앞으로 한국학이 나아갈 길에 대해서 성찰하게 한다는 점에서 매우 유의미하다.
