This paper proposes a new hybrid scheme to decrease the high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) of optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals in visible light communication (VLC) systems. The PAPR causes nonlinear signal distortions and high power requirements for the VLC transmitter (light emitting diode, LED). The proposed method is applicable for both direct current-biased optical OFDM (DCO-OFDM) and asymmetrically clipped optical OFDM (ACO-OFDM). In the proposed scheme, the PTS method is firstly modified to fit both optical OFDM approaches transmission and then combined with signal clipping method for further PAPR reduction and bit error rate (BER) improvement of the VLC system. The performance of hybrid scheme has been evaluated and compared with the original OFDM based VLC system, conventional PTS and clipping methods. The results show that the hybrid scheme outperforms other methods in terms of both the PAPR reduction and BER performance.

In the present study, oxygen transfer process across gas-liquid interface in a Y-shape micro-channel is quantitatively visualized using the micro laser induced fluorescence (${\mu}$-LIF) technique. Diffusion coefficient of Oxygen ($D_L$) is estimated based on the experimental results and compared to its theoretical value. Tris ruthenium (II) chloride hexahydrate was used as the oxygen quenchable fluorescent dye. A light-emitting diode (LED) with wavelength of 450 nm was used as the light source and phosphorescence images of fluorescent dye were captured by a CMOS high speed camera installed on the microscope system. Water having dissolved oxygen (DO) value of 0% and pure oxygen gas were injected into the Y-shaped microchannel by using a double loading syringe pump. In-situ pixel-by-pixel calibration was carried out to obtain Stern-Volmer plots over whole flow field. Instantaneous DO concentration fields were successfully mapped according to Stern-Volmer plots and DL was calculated as $2.0675{\times}10^{-9}\;m^2/s$.

As a direct-view flat panel displays, there are many devices, such as plasma display panels(PDPs), vacuum fluorescent displays (VFDs), and light emitting diode(LED). Among these, a PDP is the first type of panel display to be made commercially available. A 'Plasma display' is the general term for a flat display utilizing the light emission that is produced by gas discharge. However, the brightness and Luminous efficiency are still not adequate for consumer television. So, the new sustain electrode type of ac PDP was proposed. By arranging the transparent electrode of quadrangle by zigzag, the area of electrode are reduced, and the length of electrode gap is increased. It generates a high luminous efficiency(corresponding to a 40% improvement of standard type), the same discharge voltage characteristics, and the low power consumption at same luminance.

$Eu^{2+}$-doped $Ca_2Si_5N_8$ was grown on Si(100) substrate using metal-organic deposition (MOD) method and post-annealed at $900^{\circ}C$ in various atmosphere. Luminescence properties of these thin films were investigated with variations of $Eu^{2+}$-doped concentrations and annealing atmosphere. Thin film was formed with clean surface and uniform thickness of about 72 nm. From the measurements of luminescence properties of thin films, film must be post-annealed in nitrogen or mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen atmosphere to emit a sufficient light. For $Ca_{1.5}Eu_{0.5}Si_5N_8$ thin film annealed at $900^{\circ}C$ in nitrogen atmosphere, excitation band from 380 to 420 nm was detected with the maximum intensity at 404 nm and two broad emission bands from 530 to 630 nm were observed. These broad excitation and emission bands must be attributed to the nitrogen incorporations into the films. From the results, $Ca_{2-x}Eu_xSi_5N_8$ thin film has probability for next generation thin film lighting applications such as light emitting diode (LED) or electro-luminescence (EL).

LuAG:Ce(Lu₃Al₅O₁₂:Ce³⁺) nano phosphor were synthesized by applying the coprecipitation method. It is used to increase the color rendering of phosphor ceramic plate for high power LEDs and laser lighting. Internal quantum efficiency and absorption of LuAG:Ce nano phosphor are 51.5 % and 64.4 %, respectively, which is higher than the previously studied nano phosphors. The maximum absorption wavelength of this phosphor is 450 nm blue light, and the emission wavelength is 510 nm. The emission wavelength shifted to longer wavelength when the concentration of Ce increased in the heat treatment of the reducing atmosphere. Thermal quenching of LuAG nano phosphor was 70 % at 200 ℃, it was explained by their significant quenching of all raman scattering modes, implying the restriction of electron-phonon couplings caused by their defects.

The objective of this study was to develop a wearable systems that protect users, based on sensors that are easy to use, from accidents caused by harmful gases in the operator's poor working environment or the risk of ultraviolet rays during outdoor activities. By developing smart wappen with Light Emitting Diode (LED) light alarm function including UV sensor and gas sensor and central processing unit, systems that are applied to daily wear and work clothes to explore the possibility of user-centered, harmful environment monitoring products in real time were proposed. Each sensor was applied to sportswear and work clothes and the wappen system consisted of lightweight and thin form as a whole. Wappen to cover the device had one sheet cover on the front and another cover from the inside to form a sandwich like formation. Wappen was made in the same form as regular clothes that doesn't damage the exterior then a removable wappen system was developed using Velcro and snap methods to enable the separation of device or the exchange of batteries. De-adhesion method can occur in two ways, from the outside and from the inside, so the design is selected depending on the application. This study shows the significance of the development of sensor-based smart clothing, in that it presented a universal model for users.

Optical imaging modalities with properties of real-time, non-invasive, in vivo, and high resolution for image-guided surgery have been widely studied. In this review, we introduce two optical imaging systems, that could be the core of image-guided surgery and introduce the system configuration, implementation, and operation methods. First, we introduce the optical coherence tomography (OCT) system implemented by our research group. This system is implemented based on a swept-source, and the system has an axial resolution of 11 ㎛ and a lateral resolution of 22 ㎛. Second, we introduce a fluorescence imaging system. The fluorescence imaging system was implemented based on the absorption and fluorescence wavelength of indocyanine green (ICG), with a light-emitting diode (LED) light source. To confirm the performance of the two imaging systems, human malignant melanoma cells were injected into BALB/c nude mice to create a xenograft model and using this, OCT images of cancer and pathological slide images were compared. In addition, in a mouse model, an intravenous injection of indocyanine green was used with a fluorescence imaging system to detect real-time images moving along blood vessels and to detect sentinel lymph nodes, which could be very important for cancer staging. Finally, polarization-sensitive OCT to find the boundaries of cancer in real-time and real-time image-guided surgery using a developed contrast agent and fluorescence imaging system were introduced.

Nanorod graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) was synthesized by reacting melamine (C₃H₆N₆) with trithiocyanuric acid (C₃H₃N₃S₃) in distilled water for 10 h at room temperature. The resulting mixture was calcined at 550℃ for 2 h in an electric furnace under an air atmosphere. Nanorod g-C₃N₄/Ag₃PO₄ composites were prepared by adding nanorod graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) powder, silver nitrate (AgNO₃), ammonia (NH₃·H₂O, 25.0-30.0%), and sodium hydrogen phosphate (Na₃HPO₄) to distilled water. The samples were characterized via X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activities of the nanorod g-C₃N₄/Ag₃PO₄ composites were demonstrated via the degradation of organic dyes, such as methylene blue and methyl orange, under blue light-emitting diode irradiation and evaluated using UV-vis spectrophotometry.

종류가 다른 보광등과 난방등으로 보광을 해 주었을 때, 절화 장미의 수확량, 절화수명, 엽색에 미치는 영향을 비교 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 보광등으로 LED등(Light emitting diode lamp, LED), 메탈할라이드등(Metal halide lamp, MH), 고압나트륨등 (High-pressure sodium lamp, HPS)과 난방등으로 나노탄소섬유 적외선등 (Nano-carbon fiber infrared lamp, NCFI)을 절화장미를 재배하고 있는 농가의 수경재배 베드 위에 설치하였다. 절화 장미 수확량과 판매 가능한 절화수는 HPS 처리에 의해 봄과 가을에 크게 증가하였다. 품질의 주요기준이 되는 절화장은 봄철에는 전등처리에 의해 대조구보다 길어졌으나, 겨울에는 오히려 감소하였다. 겨울에는 전등처리로 인해 개화가 촉진되어 영양생장기간이 상대적으로 짧아졌기 때문으로 생각된다. 절화수명은 전등 처리시간이 짧은 가을에는 처리간 차이가 보이지 않았으나, 겨울에는 HPS에서만 대조구에 비해 3일 정도 길어졌다. 엽색은 가을철 보다는 겨울철에 전등처리의 영향을 크게 받았으며, 모든 보광등(LED, MH, HPS)처리에서 엽색이 짙어진 반면, 난방등으로 이용되고 있는 NCFI에서는 대조구와 비슷한 밝기였다. 결론적으로, HPS는 절화장과 절화수명을 길게하며, 수확량도 증가시키므로 매우 좋은 보광등이라고 판단되었다. NCFI는 발열양이 많기 때문에 난방등으로의 기능은 충분할지라도 판매 가능한 절화수가 감소하고 품질지수가 저하되기 때문에 보광등으로서의 역할은 미약할 것으로 판단되었다.

수경재배는 토양 없이 물로만 재배 가능하며 날씨의 영향을 받지 않아 기존에 토양을 이용해 재배하는 것에 비해 많은 이점을 지니고 있다. 여기에 물 대신 배양액을 추가한다면 생육을 더욱 앞당길 수 있다. 본 연구는 배양액과 인공광 처리에 따른 새싹보리의 성장과 이화학적 특성을 조사하였다. 먼저 배양 기간이 지남에 따라 식물체의 길이는 커졌으며 LED 처리구의 배양액 투입구에서 생장이 빨랐다. 생체량 및 건조량은 형광등 처리구가 LED 처리구보다 더 무거웠다. 새싹보리 분말의 색상은 약간의 차이를 보였으며, L값은 50.79~53.77, a 값은 -6.70 ~ -4.42, b 값은 13.35 ~ 14.76이었으며 L값과 b 값은 LED 처리구가 높았으나 a 값은 형광등 처리구가 상대적으로 높았다. 총페놀 함량은 두 처리구에서 대조구가 배양액 투입구보다 높았으나, 총플라보노이드 함량은 총페놀과는 반대 현상을 보였다. TEAC의 경우 대조구의 항산화능력이 배양액 투입구보다 높았으며 FRAP의 경우 형광등 처리구가 LED 처리구보다 높은 함량을 나타내었다. 총 구성아미노산 함량은 106.82 ~ 122.63 mg/g dry powder였으며, 필수아미노산 함량은 47.01 ~ 56.19 mg/g dry powder였고 비필수아미노산은 67.86 ~ 77.66 mg/g dry powder 범위였다. 구성아미노산 중 가장 많이 검출된 것은 Asp이며, Glu, Ala, Leu, Val 순으로 나타났다.
