For demonstrating widely tunable external cavity lasers operating for near-infrared (NIR) wavelength, a flexible polymer waveguide with an imbedded Bragg grating is incorporated. Due to the superior flexibility of the polymer material, the reflection wavelength of the Bragg grating is widely tunable by imposing tensile and compressive strains on the flexible Bragg grating. A third-order Bragg grating is formed on the device for facilitating the fabrication method. With a superluminescent laser diode as a gain medium of ECL, the tunable laser exhibited output power of -3 dBm and a tuning range of 32 nm.

A portable near infrared (NIR) system which was newly integrated by our lab has been used to develop a non-invasive blood glucose monitoring. The portable NIR system includes a tungsten halogen lamp, a photo diode array type-InGaAs detector, and specialized reflectance fiber optic probes. The shape of probes is composed of two parts. one for illumination into sample and the other for receiving the radiation from sample. Three kinds of probes with different distance between illumination and receiving part. such as 0.03. 0.1. and 0.5mm, were investigated for optimization. (omitted)

Light can be divided into ultraviolet rays, visible rays, and infrared rays depending on the wavelengths. Visible rays with specific wavelength are those predominantly used for would treatment. Especially low level laser irradiates into cells, effectively stimulating cellular tissues and activating cellular function. This study was intended to verify the effect of white LED irradiation therapy on wound recovery in animal tests by applying white LED irradiator, which was independently designed and developed to emit beams of similar wavelength to that of a laser. The designed LED Irradiator was used to find out how white LED light source affected the skin wound of SD-Rat(Sprague-Dawley Rat). We divided the participants into two groups; white LED irradiation group which was irradiated 1 hour a day for 9 consecutive days, and none irradiation group. The results showed that the study group had lower incidence of inflammation and faster recovery, compared with the control group.

Dissolved silica is make some critical trouble at steam turbine. And, we must measure it to ppb level. We were looking for the best measuring method of the silica. Via this study, we could found it in the N-IR spectroscopy technology. This dissertation have been discuss about system structure, system fundamentals and performance test. At the test, we were study in the spectral interference of $NH_3$. We know that existing system had some problem. It is structural frailties of single beam type. Therefore we were study for double beam type structure. And we obtain a good result. In the result, it have been discuss that conduct a test of $NH_3$ effect.

This paper describes the implementation of a multi-subject, multi-channel optical telemetry system for the short range measurement of electrocardiograms (EKGs) a system which receives command signals and transmits physiological signals to the external system using LED (Light Emitting Diode) and PD (Photodiode). This system decreases the dependency of power supply voltage to the CMOS IC chips and a new enforced synchronization technique using infrared bi-directional communication has also been proposed. The telemetry IC with the size of $5.1{\times}5.1mm^2$ has the following functions: receiving of command signal, initialization of internal state of all functional blocks, decoding of subject selection signal, time division multiplexing of 4-channel modulated physiological signals, transmission of modulated signals to external system, and auto power down control.

본 연구는 화면전환 및 필기 등의 프레젠테이션을 편리하게 제어 할 수 있는 시스템을 구현하고자 한다. 카메라를 이용한 컴퓨터 비전 분야에서 주변의 조명 환경의 영향을 적게 받는 적외선을 이용한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 제안하는 방법에서는 USB(Universal Serial Bus) 타입의 카메라를 적외선 환경에 맞게 개조하고, 이를 이용하여 적외선 LED(Light Emitting Diode)를 이용한 전자 분필 영상을 취득하여, 실시간으로 전자 분필의 위치를 검출한다. 검출된 영역은 사전에 사용자가 설정한 '필기 가능 영역'과 변형 함수에 기반하여, 실제 모니터 좌표로 사상되어 화면에 표시되게 된다. 제안하는 시스템은 저렴한 가격의 웹 캠과 적외선 조명 이외에는 별도의 장비가 필요하지 않으면서도, 대형 스크린을 터치 방식으로 활용할 수 있다는 장점을 가진다. 실험 결과, 계산된 모니터 좌표와 사용자가 의도한 위치간의 평균 RMS(Root Mean Square) 오차는 약 15픽셀로 나타나서, 글씨를 필기하고 화면의 특정 부분을 강조하기 위한 활용이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Presently, it is now developing the optical remote gas sensor system which can measure combustible gases such as $CH_4$ and $C_2H_2$ generating by partial discharges inside the cable and connection parts to detect thermal deterioration of Oil-Filled (OF) power cable at the appropriate time. It is the most important parameter to select central wavelength of laser diode (LD) by analyzing the absorption bend of measuring gases in the infrared region. In this research, we proposed the optical spectrum analyzer to absorption band of $CH_4$ and $C_2H_2$ for the preliminary research of optical fiber gas detecting system.

N-IR spectroscopy technology is very useful. And, the technology has wide application range. In the range, we know that single beam type silica analyzer has some handicap. So we were studied Splitted beam type silica analyzer. This dissertation have been discuss about system structure, system fundamentals and performance test. At the test, we were study in the spectral interference of NH3. We know that existing system had some problem. It is structural frailties of single beam type. Therefore we were study for Splitted beam type structure. And we obtain a good result. We have $\pm$5% accuracy and 0.5 ppb level measuring range. But, we have a question. It is ppt level measuring technology by the laser beam spectroscopy.

In this paper, We studied LED(Light Emitted Diode) sensor lights system using PIR(Pyroelectric Infrared Ray) sensor, CdS and MCU(Micro Controller Unit). And applied the valley fill circuit to improve the power factor. We designed the amplifier for each sensor and the LED driver for constant current which is the buck converter. Also, we proposed the algorithm of LED control by each sensors using MCU. Experimental results showed that power factor is 92% with valley fill circuit.
