We designed a multimode interference (MMI) coupler to use in vertical coupling of double layered polymeric waveguides and analyzed the coupling characteristics by comparing our experimental and simulation results. We found that our proposed new structure, a stepped MMI coupler, is effective in vertical coupling between waveguide layers with a short length of MMI and has a high tolerance for the variation in the structure of an MMI coupler that can be induced as errors in the fabrication process.

In this paper, the single round type and the multilayered type actuator using PZT powders were manufactured and their piezoelectric, displacement and time response characteristics were investigated. In the single round type actuator, the piezoelectric coefficient and the displacement increased with sintering temperature. In the multilayered actuator, the piezoelectric coefficient and the displacement increased with the layered number. In ten layered case, the piezoelectric coefficient and the displacement were higher over three times and six times than those of the single round type, respectively. At the voltage applied, the response velocity of the multilayered type was higher over two times than that of the single round type.

A long-exposing technique (LET) has been conducted to create nanoscale patterns applicable to diverse micro-devices using two-photon polymerization (TPP). By the weakly-polymerized region via the LET, double-layered embossing patterns can be fabricated simply in a single step. The LET makes possible a voxel and its surrounding to be fully grown into more than 500 nm in lateral size and weakly-polymerized region (WPR), respectively. In the WPR. interconnecting ribs between voxels are generated, and they lead to the creation of double-layered dot patterns. Moreover, by controlling the distance between voxels, various shapes of interconnecting rib can be fabricated when the LET is applied. Various embossing patterns were fabricated to evaluate the usefulness of the proposed technique as a novel nanopatterning technique in TPP.

Highly efficient red and green phosphorescent devices comprising a simple bilayer structure are reported. The driving voltage to reach $1000\;cd/m^2$ is 4.5 V in $Bebq_2:\;Ir(piq)_3$ red phosphorescent device. Current and power efficiency values of 9.66 cd/A and 6.90 lm/W in this bi-layered simple structure PHOLEDs are obtained, respectively. While in $Bepp_2:Ir(ppy)_3$ green phosphorescent device, the operating voltage value of 3.3V and current and power efficiencies of 37.89 cd/A and 35.02 lm/W to obtain a luminance of $1000\;cd/m^2$ are noticed, respectively.

Sealed Interface Local Oxidation (SILO) technology has been investigated using a nitride/oxide/nitride three-layered sandwich structure. P-type silicon substrate was either nitrided by rapid thermal processing, or silicon nitride was deposited by LPCVD method. A three-layered sandwich structure was patterned either by reactive ion etch (RIE) mode or by plasma mode. Sacrificial oxidation conditions were also varied. Physical characterization such as cross-section analysis of field oxide, and electrical characterization such as gate oxide integrity, junction leakage and transistor behavior were carried out. It was found that bird's beak was nearly zero or below 0.1um, and the junction leakages in plasma mode were low compared to devices of the same geometry patterned in RIE mode, and gate oxide integrity and transistor behavior were comparable. Conclusively, SILO process is compatible with conventional local oxidation process.

Tape casting technique was successfully applied to produce porous ceramics and multi-layered ceramics containing porous layers, where spherical hollow polymer particles were introduced as pore precursors. In the presence of extreme differences in density and size between Al2O3 and pore precursor particles, hindered settling was effective in preventing segregation of component particles and packing behavior of mixed powders was improved through bimodal packing. There were two transitions in packing behavior of mixed powders. The first transition took place at 40~50 vol% pore precursor addition, where majority of pores changed from close to open pore state. The other transition occured at 60~70 vol% pore precursor addition, where pore precursor particles formed a continuous network structure.

CAD systems are routinely used by designers for creating part geometries. Interfaces to CAE/CAM systems are also commonplace enabling the FEA-based design optimization and the rapid fabrication of the designed part. However, conventional CAD systems have thus far focused on objects with homogeneous interior. Two recent advances--use of heterogeneous objects such as Functionally Graded Materials (FGM) in parts and Layered Manufacturing Technology (LMT)--have brought to the forefront the need for CAD systems to support the creation of geometry as well as the graded material inside. We first describe the need and the components of such a CAD system for heterogeneous objects. A prototype CAD system is then described with one specific example (thermal barrier type FGM, pressure vessel) in order to illustrate the use of the implemented CAD system. The implemented system is manually integrated with FEA tools for optimal design. Our ongoing work involves the automation of the integration with FEA tools.

Fiber-Fabry-Perot (FFP) tunable filters, the essential component of WDM transmission, were designed, fabricated and characterized. Multi-layered thin film mirrors that consists of an optical collimater's corss section as a substrate and TiO$_{2}$SiO$_{2}$ alternating multi-layered films as a filter wer designed by means of the transfer matrix method. Fabricated mirrors showed the high reflectivity over around 98% as expected. After fabricating the tuneable filters using PZT, we measured FSR, FWHM, finesse , crosstalk and insertion loss, confirming that the built devices satisfied the optical filter's specifications required in the SEDM transmission systems.

The object of this study is to design the Radar Absorbing Structures (RAS) having sandwich structures in the X-band $(8.2\~12.4GHz)$ frequencies. Glass fabric/epoxy composites containing conductive carbon blacks and carbon fabric/epoxy composites were used for the face sheets. Polyurethane (PU) foams containing multi­walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) were used for the core. Their permittivities in the X-band were measured using the transmission line technique. The reflection loss characteristics for multi-layered sandwich structures were calculated using the theory of transmission and reflection in a multi-layered medium. Three kinds of specimens were fabricated and their reflection losses in the X-band were measured using the free space technique. Experimental results were in good agreements with simulated ones in 10dB absorbing bandwidth.

This paper presents a mathematical model suitable for the calculation of laminated glass, i.e. glass plates combined with an interlayer material. The model is based on a beam differential equation for each glass plate and a separate differential equation for the slip in the interlayer. In addition to slip, the model takes into account prestressing force in the interlayer. It is possible to combine the two contributions arbitrarily, which is important because the glass sheet fabrication process changes the stiffness of the interlayer in ways that are not easily predictable and could introduce prestressing of varying magnitude. The model is suitable for reformulation into an inverse procedure for calculation of the relevant parameters. Model consisting of a system of differential-algebraic equations, proved too stiff for cases with the thin interlayer. This novel approach covers the full range of possible stiffnesses of layered glass sheets, i.e., from zero to infinite stiffness of the interlayer. The comparison of numerical and experimental results contributes to the validation of the model.
