Variations in lettuce growth and quality were observed depending on the type of artificial light source. The RGB LED treatment resulted in thick leaf development, leading to higher fresh weight, dry weight, and relative growth rates. Two cultivars, "Tomalin" and "seonpunggold," exhibited increased anthocyanin content and dark red leaf color under conditions of RGB LED treatment. Additionally, they exhibited high chlorophyll content under conditions of RGB LED and RGBFR LED treatments. Particularly, under Red LED treatment, the plants showed elongated leaves with narrow widths, resulting in a higher leaf shape index and a tendency towards leaf curling. Therefore, RGB LED lighting which appropriately blends red, blue, and green lights, is more effective than single lighr sources at improving lettuce growth and quality.

In the construction of a white LED, the region of the red emission is a very important factor. Red light emitting materials play an important role in improving the color rendering index of commercial lighting. These materials also increase the color gamut of display products. Therefore, the development of novel phosphors with red emission and the study of color tuning are actively underway to improve product quality. In the present study, heuristic algorithms were used to search for phosphors capable of increasing the color rendering index and color gamut. Using a heuristic algorithm, the phosphors that were identified were $SrGe_4O_9:Mn^{4+}$ and $BaGe_4O_9:Mn^{4+}$. Emission spectra study confirmed that these phosphors emit light in the deep red wavelength region, which can fulfill the requirement for the improvement in color rendering index and color gamut for a white LED.

We introduce a new visible light communication (VLC) method in which three-level return-to-zero (RZ) modulation is used for flicker-free transmission. In the VLC transmitter, the three-level RZ modulation ensures that the average optical power is constant; thus, a flicker-free light-emitting diode (LED) light is achieved. In the VLC receiver, a resistor-capacitor high-pass filter is used for generating spike signals, which are used for data recovery while eliminating the 120 Hz optical noise from adjacent lighting lamps. In transmission experiments, we applied this method for wireless transmission of an air quality sensor message using the visible light of an LED array. This configuration is useful for the construction of indoor wireless sensor networks for air pollution monitoring using LED lights.

The optical properties of $ZnS_ySe_{1-\chi-y}:Te_{\chi}(\chi<0.08,y~0.11)$ alloys grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) have been investigated by photoluminescence (PL) and PL-excitation (PLE) spectroscopy. Good optical properties and high crystal quality were established with lattice match condition to GaAs substrate. At room temperature, emission in the visible spectrum region from blue to green was obtained by varying the Te content of the ZnSSe:Te alloy. The efficient blue and green emission were assigned to $Te_1 and Te_n(n\geq2)$cluster bound excitons, respectively. Bright green (535 nm) and blue (462 nm) light emitting diodes (LEDs) have been developed using ZnSSe:Te system as an active layer. The turn-on voltage of 2.1 V in current-voltage characteristics is very small compared to that of commercial InGaN-based LEDs (>3.4 V), indicating the formation of a good ohmic contact due to the optimized p-ZnSe/p-ZnTe multi-quantum well (MQW) superlattice electrode layers.

본 논문은 스마트 빌딩을 위한 가시광 통신 시스템 (VLC, Visible Light Communication)에서 통신의 안정성 및 데이터의 신뢰성을 향상시키는 다중 채널 간섭 제거 알고리즘에 대해 연구하였다. 가시광 통신 시스템은 LED (Light Emitting Diode)를 통해 방사되는 가시광을 이용한 차세대 통신 시스템으로 스마트 빌딩을 위한 유비쿼터스 네트워크 서비스 환경에서 에너지 절감 효과를 가져 올 수 있다. 또한 기존 인프라를 활용하여 고출력 전송이 가능하며 유지 보수비용을 절감할 수 있다. 실내에서 다수의 사용자가 통신을 할 경우, 채널 간섭으로 인해 성능의 열화가 발생하게 된다. 간섭 제거를 위해 먼저 MMSE (Minimum Mean Square Error) 기법을 통해 간섭을 제거한 후, 순차 연속 간섭 제거(SIC, Successive Interference Cancellation) 알고리즘을 이용하여 추가적으로 주변의 영향력이 큰 간섭원을 제거하여 성능을 향상시켰다. 채널 모델로서 실내 가시광 통신 모델을 적용 하였고, 비트 오류율 (BER, Bit Error Rate)을 평가하여 성능을 검증하였다. 모의실험을 통해 제안된 시스템의 성능을 검증하였고 기존의 시스템보다 향상된 결과가 나타냈다. 제안한 시스템 모델은 가시광 통신뿐만 아니라 일반적인 통신 시스템에서도 신호의 품질을 향상시킬 수 있도록 다양하게 적용이 가능하다.

본 논문에서는 가시광 통신(visible light communication: VLC) 상향 전송에서 전송거리 확대를 위한 전송방식을 제안하였다. 이를 위해 집광된 infrared(IR)-light emitting diode(LED)의 출력을 이용하여 조명에 위치한 광수신부에 전송하였다. 이러한 집광을 하는 경우 지향성이 너무 커서 IR-LED를 조명부 수신모듈에 정확히 향하지 않는다면 전송이 어렵게 되는 문제점이 있는데, 이를 해결하기 위해 여러 개의 IR-LED를 조금씩 다른 방향을 향하도록 배치하고, 수신부와 통신을 통해 이 중 최고의 전송성능을 보이는 IR-LED를 선택하는 방법을 제안하였다. 통신 성능을 주기적으로 감시하고, 성능이 저하되면 LED 재검색 과정을 통해 새롭게 최상의 성능을 보이는 LED로 통신을 교체하도록 한다.

Unlike water applications, the photocatalytic technique utilizing light-emitting-diodes as an alternative light source to conventional lamp has rarely been applied for low-level indoor air purification. Accordingly, this study investigated the applicability of UV-LED to annular-type photocatalytic reactor for removal of indoor-level benzene and toluene at a low concentration range associated with indoor air quality issues. The characteristics of photocatalyst was determined using an X-ray diffraction meter and a scanning electron microscope. The photocatalyst baked at $350^{\circ}C$ exhibited the highest photocatalytic degradation efficiencies(PDEs) for both benzene and toluene, and the photocatalysts baked at three higher temperatures(450, 550, and $650^{\circ}C$) did similar PDEs for these compounds. The average PDEs over a 3-h period were 81% for benzene and close to 100% for toluene regarding the photocatalyst baked at $350^{\circ}C$, whereas they were 61 and 74% for benzene and toluene, respectively, regarding the photocatalyst baked at $650^{\circ}C$. As the light intensity increased from 2.4 to 3.5 MW $cm^{-1}$, the average PDE increased from 36 to 81% and from 44% to close to 100% for benzene and toluene, respectively. In addition, as the flow rate increased from 0.1 to 0.5 L $min^{-1}$, the average PDE decreased from 81% to close to zero and from close to 100% to 7% for benzene and toluene, respectively. It was found that the annular-type photocatalytic reactor inner-inserted with UV-LEDs can effectively be applied for the decomposition of low-level benzene and toluene under the operational conditions used in this study.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of artificial light sources on the germination and seedling vigor of lettuce, aiming to identify the optimal artificial light source for producing high-quality seedlings. Lettuce cultivar of 'Tomalin' and 'Seonpunggold' exhibited the highest seed emergence in the Metal halide(MH) lamp and High-pressure sodium(HPS) lamp treatment group, while the emergence rate parameter, T50, was the fastest in the HPS lamp treatment group. Both cultivars showed good growth characteristics such as number of leaves, root length, and stem diameter under RGB-LED, and their seedling vigor was excellent as well. The plant height was smallest in the Red + Green + Blue LED treatment, but the leaves were round and thick, resulting in higher biomass and dry weight. Single light sources of Red LED and Blue LED led to reduced growth compared with that under the mixed light treatments. Chlorophyll content in lettuce varied with the type of artificial light, with both cultivars exhibiting the highest chlorophyll content in the Red + Green + Blue LED treatment. The most suitable artificial light for lettuce seedling growth was the Red + Green + Blue LED treatment.

BACKGROUND: Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with lower electric cost and the specific wavelength have been considering as a novel light source for plant production in greenhouse conditions as well as in a closed culture system. Supplementary lighting for day-length extension was considered as light intensity, light quality, and/or photoperiod control on plant growth and development. Effects of supplementary blue or red LED radiation with lower light intensity on growth of Ageratum (Ageratum houstonianum Mill., cv. Blue Field), African marigold (Tagetes erecta L., cv. Orange Boy), and Salvia (Salvia splendens F. Sello ex Ruem & Schult., cv. Red Vista) were discussed during sunrise and sunset twilight in the experiment. METHODS AND RESULTS: Supplementary lighting by blue and red LEDs for 30 (Treatment B30; R30) or 60 (Treatment B60; R60) min. per day were established in greenhouse conditions. Photosynthetic photon flux for supplementary radiation was kept at $15{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$ on the culture bed. Natural condition without supplementary light was considered as a control. The highest shoot and root dry weights were shown in African marigold exposed by red light for 60 min. per day. Supplementary blue and red lighting regardless of the radiation time significantly stimulated development of lateral branches in African marigold. Stem growth in Ageratum and Salvia seedlings was significantly promoted by red radiation as well as natural light. CONCLUSIONS: Extending of the radiation time at sunrise and sunset twilight using LEDs stimulated reproductive growth of flowering plant species. Different characteristics on growth under supplementary blue or red lighting conditions were also observed in the seedlings during supplementary radiation.
