The integration of a GaAs/AlGaAs multi-quantum well electroabsorption modulator and a tapered waveguide vertical direction optical interconnect has been performed without the complicated regrowth process. Zn impurity-induced layer disordering of MQW layer is used to achieve the energy transfer between SQW and MQW regions. Light coupled into a SQW region was transferred to an MQW region and an intensity modulation of 10 dB extinction ratio was demonstrated.

We fabricated dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) with $TiO_2$ nanowire (NW)/nanoparticle (NP) composite and solidified nanogel as the photoelectrode and electrolyte, respectively. $TiO_2$ NWs were generated via pore-infiltration of titanium (IV) isopropoxide (TTIP) into a track-etched polycarbonate membrane with a pore diameter of 100 nm, followed by calcination at $500^{\circ}C$. Energy conversion efficiency of $TiO_2$ NW/NP-based DSSCs was always higher than that of NP-based cells. We attributed this to improved light scattering and electron transport by $TiO_2$ NWs, as verified by intensity modulation photocurrent spectroscopy (IMPS) and intensity modulation photovoltage spectroscopy (IMVS) analyses. Quasi-solid-state DSSCs with NW/NP composites exhibited 5.0% efficiency at 100 $mW/cm^2$, which was much greater than that of NP-based cells (3.2%).

IM/DD 방식을 이용한 가시광 무선 통신의 성능 저하를 발생시키는 인공광과 태양광에 의한 잡음 레벨을 분석하였다. 통신 성능을 확인하기 위해 LED에 QPSK로 변조된 50ksymbol/sec의 신호를 2MHz의 부반송파에 전송하였으며 PD를 통해 수신된 신호의 EVM과 스펙트럼을 분석하였다. 또한 차광막을 이용하여 신호의 성능을 향상시켰으며 이를 통해 IM/DD방식으로 실외 가시광 통신이 가능함을 확인하였다.

Reflective holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal(HPDLC) device has a multilayer structure consisting of alternate layers of polymer and liquid crystal droplets. Periodic modulation of a refractive index reflects light of a specific wavelength in accordance with Braggs law. Samples cured isotropically were illuminated with an Argon-ion lase at 514nm. We optimized the reflcetion efficiency of HPDLC as a function of monomer functionality, LC composition and irradiation intensity. The properties of the HPDLC films were observed by UV-visible spectroscopy. We found that the maximum reflection efficiency depends on the monomer functionality, LC composition, and laser intensity. We expect these films could be used in full-color reflective display by stacking them to obtain a mixture of colors.

This paper presents a new type of optical silicon accelerometer using deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) and micro-stereolithography technology. Optical silicon accelerometer is based on a mass suspended by four vertical beams. A vertical shutter at the end of the mass can only moves along the sensing axis in the optical path between two single-mode optical fibers. The shutter modulates intensity of light from a laser diode reaching a photo detector. With the DRIE technique for (100) silicon, it is possible to etch a vertical shutter and beam. This ensures low sensitivity to accelerations that are not along the sensing axis. The microstructure for sensor packaging and optical fiber fixing was fabricated using micro stereolithography technology. Designed sensors are two types and each resonant frequency is about 15 kHz and 5 kHz.

Metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) 법으로 성장된 $In_{0.49}Ga_{0.51}P$/GaAs 이종접합 구조의 특성을 표면 광전압(surface photovoltage; SPV) 분광법으로 조사하였다. SPV 측정은 입사광의 세기, 변조 주파수, 온도의 함수로 수행하였다. 상온에서 시료의 띠간격 에너지(band gap energy)는 GaAs와 $In_{0.49}Ga_{0.51}P$는 각각 1.400 및 1.893 eV이었다. 광세기를 증가시킴에 따라 SPV 크기는 증가하는 반면에, 변조 주파수를 증가시킴에 따라 SPV 크기는 감소하였다. 그리고 SPV 스펙트럼의 온도 의존성으로부터 GaAs와 $In_{0.49}Ga_{0.51}P$의 띠간격 에너지의 변화를 Varshni 및 Bose-Einstein 표현에 의해 분석하였다.

Diffuse optical tomography (DOT) is a relatively new medical imaging modality which uses near infrared light to image large-sized tissues noninvasively. We constructed a frequency-domain DOT system to measure the optical properties of optical phantoms and human tissues. The FD-DOT uses the intensity-modulated infrared light source that illuminates the biological tissues. The phase shift and modulation changes at each detector site are separately processed to measure the optical properties. The absorption and scattering coefficients are separately estimated using inverse algorithms.

The light and energy-efficiency of classical liquid crystal displays is notoriously poor due to the use of absorption-based linear polarisers and colour filters. For instance, the light efficiency of PVAL polarisers is typically between 40 and 45 % and the colour filters have a typical efficiency below 35 % which results in a total light and energy-efficiency of the display below 10 %. In the past, a variety of polarizers were developed with an enhanced efficiency in generating linearly polarized light. Typically, these polarizers are based on the polarisationselective reflection, scattering or refraction of light i.e. one polarisation direction of light is directly transmitted to the LCD/viewer and the other polarization direction of light is depolarised and recycled which results in a typical efficiency for generating linearly polarized light of 70-85 %. Also, special colour filters have been proposed based on chiral-nematic reactive mesogens which increase the efficiency of generating colour. Despite the enormous progress in this field, a need persists for improved methods for generating polarized light and colour based on low cost optical components with a high efficiency. Here, the use of holographic phase gratings is reported for the generation of polarized light and colour. The phase grating are recorded in a photopolymer which is coated onto a backor frontlight for LCDs. Typically the recording is performed in the transmisson mode or in the waveguiding mode and slanted phase gratings are generated with their refractive index modulation at an angle between 20o and 45o with the normal of the substrate. It is shown that phase gratings with a high refractive index modulation and a high efficiency can be generated by a proper selection of the photopolymer and illumination conditions. These phase gratings coupleout linearly polarized light with a high contrast (> 100) and the light is directed directly to the LCD/viewer without the need for redirection foils. Dependent on the type of phase grating, the different colours are coupled-out at a slightly different angle which potentially increases the efficiency of classical colour filters. Moreover, the phase gratings are completely transparent in direct view which opens the possibility to use them in frontlights for LCDs. Holographic polarization gratings posses a periodic pattern in the polarization state of light (and not in the intensity of light). A periodic pattern in the polarization direction of linearly polarized light is obtained upon interference of two circularly polarized laser beams. In the second part of the lecture, it is shown that these periodic polarization patterns can be recorded in a linear photo-polymerizable polymer (LPP) and that such an alignment layer induces a period rotation in the director of (reactive and non-reactive) liquid crystals. By a proper design, optical components can be produced with only first order diffraction and with a very high efficiency (>0.98). It is shown that these diffraction gratings are potentially useful in projection displays with a high brightness and energy efficiency
