Field measurements of directional waves were carried out during the summer of 2002 at two coastal sites in water of finite depth. A couple of general purpose instruments were used employing acoustic Doppler technology. The aim of the study was to investigate the spatial behavior of the directional movement of waves as they come ashore. In total,74 tests were carried out during which sea states of low to moderate intensity were recorded. A great number of these runs displayed bimodal characteristics of the spreading function at high frequencies. It was found that in general, the frequency-integrated directional width tends to broaden as the water shoals and when refraction effects are negligible. This is attributed to wave-wave interactions that become pronounced in shallow water. The same directional width showed, also, a tendency to increase with increasing peak frequency of the sea state spectrum. The behavior of the kurtosis of the spreading function was also examined. It was found that for higher frequencies this index tends to increase in wave spectra above a certain sea severity threshold.

We have deposited hydrogen-free diamond-like carbon (DLC) films by pulsed laser deposition of graphite. Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) can be utilized to generate films with desired properties quite different from those of the starting material. Since DLC films grown by PLD using turbo pump are perpared without hydrogen, they have a higher density and a higher index of refraction than the hydrogenated DLC films. In this study, effects of the substrate temperature and laser energy density on the properties of DLC films were systematically investigated. The structure and properties of the films have been studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Raman spectroscopy.

The shape and the material of a reflective sheet affect the amount and the range of retroreflection on incident angle of light, significantly. In this study, the method to determine the shape and the material of the reflective sheet is introduced for the maximum retroreflection. Since the microprism shape with an equilateral triangle base has been used widely, the shape optimization of the microprism shape is carried out. The path of the light within the prism is geometrically calculated to find the relationship between incoming and outgoing light to and from a microprism. The optimal shape of a microprism found by the simulation has almost same figure with the one being used in industry for the maximum retroreflection. It is also found that the refraction index of the reflective sheet is another parameter to control for maximum retroreflection and the range of retroreflection.

The low-k SiOCH thin films were prepared by CCP-PECVD method using BTMSM(Bis-trimethylsilylmethane) precursors deposited on p-Si wafer. The structural complexity originate the complex refractive constants of the films, and resulted the elliptical polarization of the incident linearly polarized light source of Xe-ramp in the range from 190nm to 2100nm. Phase difference and amplitude ratio between s wave and p wave propagating through SiOCH thin film was studied. After annealing, the amplitude of p wave was reduced more than s wave, and phase difference between p and s wave was also reduced.

The optic industry is a high value-added advanced technology industry combined with the precision machine industry and the digital electronics industry. The aspheric lens, one of optic parts, is a key technology having a significant influence on the performance of optic equipment. So this study relates to designing an aspheric lens to which a ray-tracing method is applied. In the ray-tracing method, a refractive index of material is used, which take an advantage that the location of a light source and incident angle can be fixed, unlike the ray back-tracing scheme.

Radiative properties of alumina particles which is the main element of the plume from booster and kick motor used for increasing thrust and insertion into the orbit is analyzed. In order to derive the wavelength integrated (i.e., gray) emissivity, emission term in radiative transfer equation is rearranged to be able to tie up with the parameters induced from fundamental particle scattering Mie theory. Result shows that derived gray emissivity with optical properties increases with temperature rising.

The dielectric slab waveguide is fabricated on the slide glass or oxidized silicon wafer, by spin coating polyurethane, epoxy or photoresist, and the phenomenon of dielectric waveguiding is oboerved. Using the fact that the refractive index of K.P.R. is larger than that of polyurethane, thin film prism with two layered structure is fabricated, and the refraction of light is observed.

Titanium dioxide antireflection (AR) Coating, which is deposited on Si substrates using an organotitanium solution by the spinning technique, has been studied. The coated films on Si substrates were subsequently heated to $450^{\circ}C$. The thickness and index of refraction of films were varied continuousely from $740{\AA}$ to $1380{\AA}$ and from 1.7 to 2.1 respectively as a function of heat treatment temperature and time. Silicon solar cells AR-coated by the spinning technique showed as much as 31% improvement in conversion efficiency over the uncoated cell.

The power of semiconductor laser diodes has been limited primarily by the heating effects which occur at high optical intensities. The actual limiting event can take one of a number of forms such as. catastrophic optical damage or filamentation. A general approach to this problem is to design a heterostructure which creates a high powered output while maintaining low internal optical intensities. A graded index separate confinement heterostructure (GRIN-SCH) is one such structure that accomplishes the above task. Here, the active region is sandwiched between graded index layers where the index of refraction increases nearer to the active layer. This structure has been shown to yield a high efficiency due to the confinement of both the optical power and carriers, thereby reducing the optical intensity required to achieve higher powers. The optical confinement also reinforces the optical beam quality against high power effects. Quantum dots have long been a desirable option for laser diodes due to the enhanced optical properties associated with the zeroth dimensionality. In our work, we use PICS3D software created by Crosslight Software Inc. to simulate the performance of In0.67A10.33As/A10.2Ga0.8AsquantumdotsusedwithaGRIN-SCH. The simulation tools are used to optimize the GRIN-SCH structure for high efficiency and optical beam quality.
