  • It is very important to measure and visualize the changes in the physical properties of fluid flow because this is the foundation of measurement techniques used in aerodynamics, heat transfer, plasma diagnostics, and stress analysis of transparent models. The optical methods are advantageous over probe-based techniques in the optical methods are of high speed, non-contact and are capable of providing full-field results with high spatial resolution. Therefore we propose the electronic speckle pattern interferometry(ESPI) that gives us a solution to overcome those limitations. In this paper the experimental results show qualitative and quantitative visualization of changes in the physical properties of the candle and alcohol lamp with 3D plotting. And we obtained the refractive index, mass density and temperature distribution of fluids. The results clearly show the process of flow phenomena and give the feasibility of quantitative interpretation of gasdynamics.

  • This study was planned to prepare the high strength hydrogel ophthalmic lens containing isocyanate group and nanoparticles. HDI with carbon nanoparticles were used as additives for the basic combination of HEMA, MA and MMA, and the materials were copolymerized with EGDMA as the cross-linking agent and AIBN as the initiator. The mixture was heated at $100^{\circ}C$ for an hour to produce the high performance hydrogel ophthalmic lens by cast mold method. Measurement of the physical characteristics of the produced material showed that the refractive index was in the range of 1.4027~1.4600, water content 25.21~44.01%, contact angle $54.18{\sim}72.94^{\circ}$, visible light transmittance 53.03~92.09%, and tensile strength 0.1024~0.2359 kgf and breaking strength was 0.0872~0.2825 kgf. The results showed an increase of refractive index while the decrease in water content. And also, the breaking strength was highest when the addition ratio of HDI was 5%(wt). As a result of the absorbance measurement, no significant difference was observed in all the samples, so it can be judged that the stabilization of nanoparticles in the polymer was maintained.

  • Characteristics of various material surface plasmon resonance (SPR) chips were investigated in angular interrogation mode and intensity interrogation mode. Among five metals, silver (Ag), gold (Au), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr) and titanium (Ti), three metals, Ag, Au and Cu were paid attention to since their characteristics can be easily analyzed in angular interrogation mode by investigating the change of their reflectance curves according to refractive index change from 1.331 to 1.335. Most of SPR chips with various configurations showed the similar property in angular interrogation mode. The application of the SPR chip made of Ag, Au and Cu or their combinations depends on their reflectance properties. In intensity interrogation mode, the operation range may be limited since the variation of the intensity was not linearly related to refractive index change ranging from 1.331 to 1.335. However, the SPR chip containing high ratio of Ag may be applicable to high sensitive detection due to their sharp reflectance curves in intensity interrogation mode.

  • Optical waveguide based on symmetric and asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer(MZI) type was designed, fabricated and measured the optical characteristics for the application of biosensor. The wavelength of the input optical signal for the device was 1550 nm. And the difference of refractive index was $0.45\;{\Delta}\%$ between core and cladding of the device. The TM(Transverse Magnetic) mode optical properties of the biosensor were analyzed with the refractive index variation of gold thin film deposited for overclad. Nowadays, nano-photonic crystal structures have been paied much attention for its high optical sensitivity. There is a technique to realize the structure, which is called Dip-Pen Nanolithography(DPN) process. The process requires a nano-scale process patterning resolution and high reliability. In this paper, two dimensional nano-photonic crystal array on the surface was proposed for improving the sensitivity of optical biosensor. And the Dip-Pen Nanolithogrphy process was investigated to realize it.

  • Since in vitro neural recording and imaging applications based on a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technique have expanded dramatically in recent years, cytotoxicity assessment to ensure the biosafety and biocompatibility for those applications is crucial. Here, we report the cytotoxicity of the SPR substrate incorporating a flint glass whose refractive index is larger than that of a conventional crown glass. A high refractive index glass substrate is essential in neural signal detection due to the advantages such as high sensitivity and wide dynamic range. From experimental data using primary hippocampal neurons, it is found that a lead-based flint glass is not appropriate as a neural recording template although the neuron cells are not directly attached to the toxic glass. We also demonstrate that the adhesion layer between the glass substrate and the gold film plays an important role in achieving the substrate stability and the cell viability.

  • For maintaining high visibility of lane, the high refractive index glass beads with excellent retro-reflectivity are usually applied on the road marking paint. The retro-reflectivity standard of general road marking is different in each country; it is defined as $240mcd/m^2{\cdot}lux$ based on white light in Korea and $250{\sim}300mcd/m^2{\cdot}lux$ in developed countries. In this paper, the recent trends on the manufacturing technology of glass beads suitable for autonomous driving age as well as the road marking regulations has been reviewed. Also, in preparation for the commercialization of autonomous vehicles in the future, the necessity of raising the standard value and improving the glass bead properties were proposed.

  • The light extraction technology for improving the light efficiency of OLEDs is the core technology for extracting the light inside the OLEDs to the outside. This study demonstrates a simple method to generate random nanostructures (RNSs) containing high refractive index nanoparticles to improve light extraction and viewing angle characteristics. A simple dry low-temperature process makes the nanostructured scattering layer on the polymer resin widely used in the industry. The scattering layer has the shape of randomly distributed nanorods. To control optical properties, we focused on changing the shape and density of RNSs and adjusting the concentration of high refractive index nanoparticles. As a result, the film of the present invention exhibits a perpendicular transmittance of 85% at a wavelength of 550 nm. This film was used as a scattering layer to reduce substrate mode loss and improve EL efficiency in OLEDs.

  • In this paper, a novel platform for chemical sensing and biosensing is presented. The working principle is based on the coupling efficiency and interference properties of optical directional coupler (DC) and multimode interference coupler (MMIC). It has been realized using planar technology to allow integration on a silicon substrate. Firstly, the dispersion curves of DC and MMIC is described, and the design specification of an optimized slot optical waveguide to increase waveguide sensitivity is selected. Next, the sensor response to the refractive index change of sensing analyte is numerically simulated. The numerical results reveal that high effective index change per refractive index unit (RIU) change of analyte is obtained, and the sensitivity can be tuned using the DC and MMIC design technique.

  • The optical absorption of high index glasses of the system TiO2-BaO-B2O3 prepared from the raw materials for an optical waveguide glass has been measured in the near ultraviolet region. The amount of Ti3+ in the glass could be reduced to a level less than 5 ppm by melting a batch added with pure nitric acid, using a fused quartz crucible in an oxygen gas atmosphere. The ultra-pure glass of 10mm thick prepared in such a way did not show any appreciable color even for the one containing 30 mol% TiO2 and having refractive index nD of 1.84 and Abbe's number vD of 28.8. The wavelength of ultraviolet absorptin edge was longer for the glass of higher index and higher dispersdion. The melting of a TiO2 containing glass in a platinum crucible resulted in a coloration of the glass due to the dissolved plutinum from the crucible, which was more intense for the one containing larger amount of TiO2.

  • Anti-reflection coating films have used to increase the transmittance of displays and enhance the efficiency of solar cells. Hydrophobic anti-reflection coating films were fabricated on a glass substrate by sol-gel method. To fabricate an anti-reflection film with a high transmittance, poly ethylene glycol (PEG) was added to tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) solution. The content of PEG was changed from 1 to 4 wt% in order to control the morphology, thickness, and refractive index of the $SiO_2$ thin films. The reflectance and transmittance of both sides of the coated thin film fabricated with PEG 4 wt% solution were 0.3% and 99.4% at 500 nm wavelength. The refractive index and thickness of the thin film were n = 1.29 and d = 105 nm. Fluoro alkyl silane (FAS) was used for hydrophobic treatment on the surface of the anti-reflection thin film. The contact angle was increased from $13.2^{\circ}$ to $113.7^{\circ}$ after hydrophobic treatment.
