Seaweed(Laver), Korea's largest export product, is currently focused on mass production due to the market situation in Korea. This naturally led to a decrease in the quality of seaweed. Therefore, in this paper, the present method was produced and tested by changing the way of adjusting the ratio of seaweed mixing, which was dependent on the user's sense and experience in the production of seaweed. In addition, I developed an embedded measurement system that can determine the concentration of a mixture of gold in real time based on primary image information obtained through an IR LED lamp that generates a light source and a photo sensor that detects concentration. By collecting and storing precise data in real time, it is easier to cope with the previous year's data in a work environment that is repeated every winter.

In the LED lighting industry, the dimming function in the LED lamp is required by demands of many consumers. To drive this LED lighting, various types of power converters have been applied. Among them, an LLC resonant converter could be applied for high power LED lighting because of its high efficiency and high power density, etc. The function of power factor correction (PFC) might be added to it. In this paper, a dimmable single-stage asymmetrical LLC resonant converter is proposed. The proposed converter performs both input-current harmonics reduction and PFC using the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). Also, the lower voltage stress across switching devices as well as the zero voltage switching (ZVS) in switching devices is realized by the proposed topology. It can reduce cost and has high efficiency of the driver. In addition, the regulation of the output power by variable switching frequency can vary the brightness of a light. In the proposed converter, one of the attractive advantages doesn’t need any extra control circuits for the dimming function. To verify the performance of the proposed converter, simulation and experimental results from a 300W prototype are provided.

This study was conducted to determine the attractive effects of Plutella xylostella adults to light emitting diode (LED) trap in greenhouse and compared with those of no light trap and black-light which is typically used in commercial luring lamp. The green LED trap captured more P. xylostella when compared with black-light trap, whereas the no light trap was a little attractive to P. xylostella adults. These results indicated that the green LED traps could be used for environmental insect pest control.

The effects of red, blue, and far-red light by illumination of light emitting diodes (LEDs) on growth, morphogenesis and eleutheroside contents of in vitro plantlets of Eleutherococcus senticosus were examined. As a control, plantlets were grown under a broad spectrum white fluorescent lamp (16/8 h illumination). The length of plantlets grown under the red/blue LEDs was taller than those under fluorescent lamps. Leaf area, root length and fresh weight of plantlets were highest under blue light compared to other kinds of light sources. Chlorophyll contents in plantlets grown under fluorescent lamps were higher than those in plantlets grown under LED illumination. Production of eleuthroside B and E in plantlets was highest under blue LED. However, production of eleuthroside E1 was highest under fluorescent lamps. These results suggest that plant growth and eleuthroside accumulation can be controlled by wave length of light under LED illumination system.

We analyzed the effects of various LED light treatments (red 655 nm, blue 456 nm, white and mixed light) on growth pattern, gene expression and flavonoid contents in lettuce leaf. Plants treated with mixed light (red+blue+white) showed better growth performance than those treated with single LED and fluorescent lamp (FL). Expression analysis of the eight genes involved in flavonoid biosynthesis in plants treated with LED light was examined. Results showed that red lettuce grown under mixed light showed high expression levels of LsC4H, LsF3H and LsDRF genes. Morever, the same treatment plants possessed higher content of gallic acid, chlorogenic acid and quercetin contents than those in plants exposed to single light. However, the highest total anthocyanin content was identified in plants treated with red+blue light and the lowest content was identified in plants exposed to white fluorescent lamp and single LED light condition. Thus, this study indicates that the ratio of blue to red LEDs is important for the morphology, growth, and phenolic compounds with anthocyanin properties in the two lettuce cultivars tested.

In this paper, we reduced the optical noise interference using polarizers in a visible light communication system. In a transmitter, two light-emitting diodes(LEDs) are modulated synchronously by the original and the reversed signals of the transmitted data, and the two LED lights are radiated through orthogonal polarizers. In a receiver, two optical signals are detected through orthogonal polarizers and differentially amplified to remove the optical noise. In an environment that noise light from a fluorescent lamp is much stronger than the signal, the receiver with orthogonal polarizers removed the 120 Hz noise, and synchronous light transmission of the original and the reversed signals using two LEDs reduced the illumination flickering to about one-eighth that using one LED.

A water sterilization system is developed utilizing a 275 nm-wavelength LED light source equipped with a TIR lens. The system's light source is constructed by combining a 275 nm-wavelength UVC LED, known for its germicidal properties, with a TIR lens having a direction angle of 6.8 degrees. The optical simulation software 'LightTools' is employed to design and optimize the intensity of deep ultraviolet sterilizing light irradiation, its distribution, and sterilization capacity. In the inactivation experiment with E. coli, the water sterilizer system achieved a sterilization rate of 78.92 % while maintaining a water flow capacity of 50 L/min. Compared to the conventional mercury lamp light source water sterilizer system, the UVC LED water sterilizer system addresses environmental concerns related to mercury usage and offers advantages in terms of lifespan and durability.

This paper dealt with a design guide of LED luminaires to replace the surface and watertight fluorescent lamp (FL) fixtures for naval vessels. Several standards such as Korean Industrial Standard (KS), Korea Defence Standard (KDS) and US Military Standard (MIL) were compared in terms of safety and performance of lighting fixtures. The electrical and optical characteristics like power consumption, total luminous flux, and illumination distribution of the FL fixtures were experimentally analyzed to acquire design rules for LED luminaires. Based on the results, four types of LED luminaires were fabricated, and we proposed a design guide of LED luminaires for naval vessels which save power consumption of 44~51 [%] and increase total luminous flux of 8~13 [%].

This study examines the design technology of searchlight optics featuring narrow beam angles and high luminous intensities. Halogen and xenon lamps, which are conventional searchlight sources, are vulnerable to vibration and shock, and are large and heavy, making them difficult to transport. In addition, the parabolic mirror located at the rear of the searchlight has the disadvantages of poor performance and low light efficiency, due to the assembly error produced during manufacturing. To solve this problem, a 1-kW halogen lamp is replaced by a 150-W high-power COB LED, and a high-efficiency TIR lens is designed to meet the target performance. Afterward, the TIR lens array is proposed to solve the surface error generated during optical injection. After a prototype is manufactured based on the designed optical system, the optical performance is confirmed to be excellent, by comparing it to that of a commercial halogen-lamp searchlight.

There are some limitations to advance technology glaring and luminous Intensity uniformity known as the weak point of existing LED lamp. To improve the two weak points, there have been no special alternative methods so far. Instead, one method which is being used such as the twisting secondary lens or arbitrary structure to remove glaring and improve luminous Intensity uniformity. Based on this academic background, it is necessary to be examined on Technology of Optical System to solve the two weak points by using not complicated but simple methods. This paper will examine the angle of reflection in order to improve luminous intensity uniformity. Also, this research will present the method using lighting analysis program to verify a hypothesis. Through the analysis program, we could understand the simulation analysis method and got some problems about the analysis result. After analysis of causes through reinterpretation of problems, we have reached a conclusion that was changed according to reflectivity and the shape of aspherics by main cause which effected luminous Intensity uniformity and glaring.
