In this paper, we reduced the optical noise interference in a visible light communication system using two color LEDs. In the transmitter, the original and the inverted signals of the transmitted data modulated a red LED and a blue LED, respectively. In the receiver, a differential detector which is composed of two photodetectors and an optical red filter detected the mixed signal radiated from the two LEDs. In an environment that the optical noise from a fluorescent lamp exists, the signal-to-noise ratio in this system was improved by about 20dB compared to that in the conventional system which uses a single LED and a single photodetector.

Visible light communication (VLC) systems incorporate ambient lighting and wireless data transmission, and the experienced channel in indoor VLC is a major topic that should be examined for reliable communication. In this study, it is realized that multiple transmitters in classical alignment are the forceful factors for channel characteristics. In the frequency band, fluctuations with sudden drops are observed, where the fluctuation shape is related to the source layout and receiver location. These varying frequency-selective channels need solutions, especially for mobile users, because sustained channel estimation and equalization are necessary as the receiver changes its location. It is proven that using light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with highly directional beams as sources or using a detector with a narrow field of view (FOV) in the receiver may help partially alleviate the problem; the frequency selectivity of the channel reduces in some regions of the room. For flat fading channel characteristics all over the room, LEDs should be aligned in hexagonal cellular structure, and detector FOV should be arranged according to the cell dimension outcomes.

In this paper, the output characteristics of PSD(Position Sensetive Detector) used in measurement system are described. Most of the precision measurment systems are accomplished by a laser diode(LD), a photo diode(PD) and PSD(Position Sensetive Detector), which are used in reflection of mirror or projection of infrared spectrometer. But it is especially restricted by resolution of PD and PSD in nano-measurement. A new inclined light methods into the PSD are employed in the surface measurement system for increasing the resolution. As the results, we can know that the output characteristics of detective senser (PSD) become more than 2 or 3 times by changing inclined angle(range: 5 degree) compared with common angle. In addition, the experiment results are confirmed that the change of inclined angle is not affecting to the linearity and repeating.

Electron detectors used in scanning electron microscope accept electrons emitted from the specimen and convert them to an electrical signal that, after amplification, is used to modulate the gray-level intensities on a cathode ray tube, producing an image of the specimen. Electron detector is one of the key components dominating the performance of scanning electron microscope so that the development of electron detectors having high performance is indispensable to acquire high quality images using scanning electron microscope. In this paper, we designed and manufactured an electron detector and conducted a couple of image capture experiments using it. In particular, scintillator which generates light photons when it is struck by high-energy electrons was manufactured and experimental studies on the optimization of manufacturing condition was carried out. From experiments to evaluate the performance of our detector, it was verified that the performance of our detector is equivalent to or better than that of the conventional one.

Recently, a new sintered pellet-type LiF:Mg,Cu,Na,Si TL detector which has a high sensitivity and good reusability, named KLT-300(KAERI LiF:Mg,Cu,Na,Si TL detector), was developed by the variation of the dopants concentrations and the parameters of the preparation procedure at KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute). In this study, the thermoluminescent characteristics of the newly developed TL detectors were investigated. The sensitivity of the TL detector was compared with that of the TLD-100 by light integration. The dose linearity of the detector was tested from $10^{-6}$ Gy up to 30 Gy. The dose response was very linear up to 10 Gy and a sublinear response was observed at higher doses. The energy response of the detector was studied for photon energies from 20 keV to 662 keV. The result shows that a maximum response of 1.004 at 53 keV and a minimum response of 0.825 at 20 keV were observed. The reproducibility study for the TL detector was also carried out. The coefficients of variation for each detector separately did not exceed 0.016, and for all the 10 detectors collectively was 0.0054. Lower limit of detection for the detector was investigated at 70 nGy by the Harshaw 4500 TLD Reader and the residual signal of the TL detector was found to be $0.57\%$.

In this paper, PSD(Position Sensitive Detector) sensor system that estimates position for moving objects in 2D plane is developed. PSD sensor is used to measure the position of an incidence light in real-time. To get the position of light source of moving target, a new parameter calibration algorithm and neural network technique are proposed and applied. Real-time position measurements of the mobile robot with light source is examined to validate the proposed method. It is shown that the proposed technique provides accurate position estimation of the moving object.

This paper is basic study for development of an advanced photoelectric type smoke detector that has high reliability by reducing the occurrence of nuisance alarms. This paper was attempted to distinguish optical characteristics of the typical fire smoke particle and non-fire smoke particle. According to UL 268 standards, three types of test fires (the paper, the wood and the flammable liquid) were used in this paper for measurement of the fire smoke particles, and the water vapor and the cigarette smoke that were known as the main cause of the nuisance alarms were also used for the non-fire smoke particles. A smoke detection chamber was created, which was equipped with one light source and several light sensors for enabling simultaneous detection of light extinction and scattering, respectively. This paper analyzes the optical characteristics of each smoke particle using this chamber.

We design a multi-element photo-detector to measure the size of particles using the diffracted light energy distribution. The light energy that is scattered by particles in the collimated laser beam is collected by the Fourier transform lens and directed to the multi-semicircular concentric annular detecters. The scattered profile measured by the photodetector is sampled by a 32 channel analog-to-digital converter. A nonnegative least squares analysis translates the light energy distribution into the corresponding unique particle size distribution.
