  • In comparison with in-plane lasers, predicting the output power and differential quantum efficiency of Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers(VCSELs) is very difficult due to the distributed Bragg reflector(DBR) layers. Therefore, effective cavity model and transfer matrix method have been adapted in order to calculate the output power and differential quantum efficiency The effective cavity model is inappropriate to calculate output power and differential quantum efficiency while it is practically adequate to calculate the threshold gain and threshold current density The reason is that the effective cavity model can not take account of the absorption in GaAs stack layer right below the metal aperture. In this paper, we have compared the threshold current and differential quantum efficiency calculated by using transfer matrix method with effective cavity model and we have made a study of the validity of the effective cavity model. Finally, we have confirmed the versatility of the transfer matrix method with these studies.

  • The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of LLLT on current perception threshold in trigeminal neuralgia patients. Affected site and non-affected site was irradiated by GaAlAs diode laser. Current perception threshold was evaluated with $Neurometer^{(R)}$ CPT/C before and after LLLT. As an outcomes,CPT were obtained. We made a comparision of these values and the results were as follows. 1. There were no significant difference in CPT between affected site and non-affected site before and after LLLT irradiation. 2. There were no significant difference in CPT between affected site and non-affected site after LLLT irradiation. 3. But, CPT values of $A{\beta}$ fiber incresed slightly on both site after LLLT irradiation

  • The $Cu_2ZnSnSe_4$ (CZTSe) thin films solar cell is one of the next generation candidates for photovoltaic materials as the absorber of thin film solar cells because it has optimal bandgap (Eg=1.0eV) and high absorption coefficient of $10^4cm^{-1}$ in the visible length region. More importantly, CZTSe consists of abundant and non-toxic elements, so researches on CZTSe thin film solar cells have been increasing significantly in recent years. CZTSe thin film has very similar structure and properties with the CIGS thin film by substituting In with Zn and Ga with Sn. In this study, As-deposited CZTSe thin films have been deposited onto soda lime glass (SLG) substrates at different deposition condition using Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) technique without post-annealing process. The effects of deposition conditions (deposition time, deposition temperature) onto the structural, compositional and optical properties of CZTSe thin films have been investigated, without experiencing selenization process. The XRD pattern shows that quaternary CZTSe films with a stannite single phase. The existence of (112), (204), (312), (008), (316) peaks indicates all films grew and crystallized as a stannite-type structure, which is in a good agreement with the diffraction pattern of CZTSe single crystal. All the films were observed to be polycrystalline in nature with a high (112) predominant orientation at $2{\theta}{\sim}26.8^{\circ}$. The carrier concentration, mobility, resistivity and optical band gap of CZTSe thin films depending on the deposition conditions. Average energy band gap of the CZTSe thin films is about 1.3 eV.

  • 양자점 Laser Diode(LD)는 낮은 문턱전류, 높은 미분 이득을 갖으며 또한 온도변화에도 안정적이기 때문에 광통신분야에서 광원으로 양자점 LD를 사용하기 위한 연구가 계속되고 있다. 양자점은 fill factor가 낮기 때문에 양자점의 밀도를 높이거나 양자점을 적층 성장하여 fill factor를 높인다. 그러나 양자점을 적층 성장하면 각 층간의 응력, 수직적 결합, 전기적인 결합이 생기며 이는 양자점의 전기적, 광학적 특성에 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD)을 이용하여 InP기판 위에 자발성장 법으로 InAs 양자점을 다주기 성장하였으며 photoluminescence (PL)을 이용하여 광학적 특성을 분석하였다. precursor는 trimethylindium (TMI), trimethylgalium (TMGa), $PH_3$, $AsH_3$를 사용하였으며 carrier gas는 $H_2$를 사용하였다. InAs 양자점은 1100 nm의 파장을 갖는 InGaAsP barrier 위에 성장하였고, InAs와 InGaAsP의 성장온도는 $520^{\circ}C$이며 InAs 양자점 성장시 V/III 비는 3.66으로 일정하게 유지하였다. 그림 1은 양자점 성장시간을 0.11분으로 고정하여 3주기(A), 5주기(B), 8주기(C) 성장한 구조이며 그림 2는 양자점 성장시간을 3주기마다 0.01분씩 줄여가며 3주기는 0.11분${\times}$3(D), 6주기는 0.11분${\times}$3+0.10분${\times}$3(E), 9주기는 0.11분${\times}$3+0.10분${\times}$3+0.09분${\times}$3(F) 으로 성장한 성장구조이다. 각 성장한 시료는 PL을 이용하여 파장과 반치폭을 측정하였다. 그림 3은 양자점 성장시간을 고정한 시료 A, B, C의 PL파장과 PL반치폭 데이터이다. PL파장은 A, B, C 시료 각각 1504 nm, 1571 nm, 1702 nm이며 반치폭은 각각 140 meV, 140 meV, 150 meV이다. PL파장과 반치폭은 각각 3주기에서 6주기로 증가할 때 67 nm, 0 meV 6주기에서 9주기로 증가할 때는 131 nm, 10 meV 증가하였다. 다음 그림4는 양자점 성장시간을 조절하여 성장한 양자점 시료 D, E, F의 PL파장과 PL반치폭 데이터이다. PL파장은 D, E, F 시료 각각 1509 nm, 1556 nm, 1535 nm이며 반치폭은 각각 137 meV, 138 meV, 144 meV이다. PL파장과 반치폭은 각각 3주기에서 6주기로 증가할 때 47 nm, 1 meV 증가하였고, 6주기에서 9주기로 증가할 때는 21 nm 감소, 6 meV 증가하였다. 양자점 성장시간을 고정하여 다주기를 성장하였고 또 3주기마다 양자점 성장시간을 달리하여 다주기를 성장하였으며 PL을 이용해 광학적 특성을 연구하였다. 성장된 양자점의 PL 파장과 PL 반치폭 변화를 통해 적층구조에서 성장 주기가 늘어날수록 양자점의 크기가 증가하는 것을 확인하였고 또한 적층성장을 할 때 양자점 성장시간을 줄임으로써 양자점의 크기 변화를 제어 할 수 있었다.

  • Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were coated with undoped zinc oxide (ZnO) or 5 wt% gallium-incorporated ZnO (GZO) using various deposition conditions. The CNTs were directly grown on conical-type tungsten substrates at $700^{\circ}C$ using inductively coupled plasma-chemical vapor deposition. The pulsed laser deposition technique was used to deposit the ZnO and GZO thin films with very low stress. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy were used to monitor the variations in the morphology and microstructure of CNTs prior to and after ZnO or GZO coating. The formation of ZnO and GZO films on CNTs was confirmed using energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. In comparison to the as-grown (uncoated) CNT emitter, the CNT emitter that was coated with a thin (10 nm) GZO film showed remarkably improved field emission characteristics, such as the emission current of $325\;{\mu}A$ at 1 kV and the threshold field of $1.96\;V/{\mu}m$ at $0.1\;{\mu}A$, and it also exhibited the highly stable operation of emission current up to 40 h.

  • We proposed a B-RWG LD (Buried-ridge waveguide laser diode) having more merits than a conventional RWG-LD. It's ridge width is controlled easily, it has the advantage of being more planar than the RWG-LD and it is possible to control refractive index with growth layer thickness. Before fabricating the device, we designed the optimal device for single mode, high efficiency and high power operation. From theoretical analysis, we have to control the $d_2, d_3$ layer thicknesses for lateral effective index difference, $\Delta_{nL}$ to be higher than critical value, and simultaneously consider the ridge width for single mode and low threshold current operation. As a result, it is possible to make a single mode LD having the ridge width of $6~9{\mu}m$ if the lateral effective index difference was controlled properly. perly.

  • Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) thin films are used as the Transparent Conducting Oxide (TCO), such as flat panel display, transparent electrodes, solar cell, touch screen, and various optical devices. ZnO has attracted attention as alternative materials to ITO film due to its resource availability, low cost, and good transmittance at the visible region. Recently, very thin film deposition is important. In order to minimize the damage caused by bending. However, ZnO thin film such as Ga-doped ZnO(GZO) has poor sheet resistance characteristics. To solve this problem, By adding the conductive metal on films can decrease the sheet resistance and increase the mobility of the films. In this study, We analyzed the electrical and optical characteristics of GZO/Ag/GZO (GAG) films by change in Ag and GZO thickness.

  • The immobilization of proteins and their molecular interactions on various polymer-modified glass substrates [i.e. 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTS), 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTS), poly (ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEG-DA), chitosan (CHI), glutaraldehyde (GA), 3-(trichlorosilyl)propyl methacrylate (TPM), 3'-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS), glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and poly-l-lysine (PL).] for potential applications in a nanoarray protein chip at the single-molecule level was evaluated using prismtype dual-color total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (dual-color TIRFM). A dual-color TIRF microscope, which contained two individual laser beams and a single high-sensitivity camera, was used for the rapid and simultaneous dual-color detection of the interactions and colocalization of different proteins labeled with different fluorescent dyes such as Alexa Fluor® 488, Qdot® 525 and Alexa Fluor® 633. Most of the polymer-modified glass substrates showed good stability and a relative high signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio over a 40-day period after making the substrates. The GPTS/CHI/GA-modified glass substrate showed a 13.5-56.3% higher relative S/N ratio than the other substrates. 1% Top-Block in 10 mM phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.4) showed a 99.2% increase in the blocking effect of non-specific adsorption. These results show that dual-color TIRFM is a powerful methodology for detecting proteins at the single-molecule level with potential applications in nanoarray chips or nano-biosensors.
