KOMPSAT-3A는 2015년 한국항공우주연구원(KARI)이 발사한 고해상 광학위성으로 0.55 m 급 전정색영상(PAN), 2.2 m 급 다중 분광 영상(MS) 그리고 5.5 m 급 중적외선 영상(MIR_OR)을 제공한다. 그러나 보안 또는 군사적인 문제로 인해 공간 해상도 5.5 m MIR_OR 영상은 33 m 공간해상도로 down-sampling된 MIR_rd 영상으로 제공된다. 본 연구에서는 가상의 고주파(HP) 영상과 최적 융합 계수를 이용하여 MIR_rd 영상의 공간해상도를 복원하는 방법을 제안하였다. MS 영상과 MIR_rd 영상을 이용하여 가상의 MIR_OR^fus 영상을 제작하였으며, 이를 실제 MIR_OR 영상과 비교 분석하였다. 실험 결과, 제안된 방법이 MS 영상의 공간해상도와 MIR_rd 영상의 분광정보를 효과적으로 조합 하였다는 것을 보여주었다.

With advancement of infrared space telescopes during the past decade, infrared wavelength regime has been a focal point to study various properties of galaxies, such as stellar mass, dust contents and dust-hidden star formation with respect to evolution of galaxies. Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) have emerged as one of the most important features since these features dominate mid-infrared spectra of galaxies. These PAH features provide a great handle to calibrate star formation rates and diagnose ionized states of grains. However, PAH $3.3{\mu}m$ feature has not been studied as much as other PAH features since it is weaker than others and resides outside of Spitzer's capability. Still its calibration and characterization are important since it will be the only PAH feature accessible by JWST for high-z galaxies. AKARI mJy Unbiased Survey of Extragalactic Sources in 5MUSES (AMUSES) intends to take advantage of AKARI's capability of spectroscopy on 2 to 5 ${\mu}m$ to provide an unbiased library of 44 sample galaxies selected from a parent sample of 5MUSES, one of Spitzer legacy projects. For these 3.3mm flux limited sample galaxies whose redshifts range between 0 < z <1, AMUSES will calibrate PAH $3.3{\mu}m$ as a SFR while measuring ratios between PAH features and investigating Bra's potential as a SFR indicator. We present preliminary results of AMUSES.

Quantum wells infrared photodetectors (QWIPs) have been used to detect infrared radiations through the principle based on the localized stated in quantum wells (QWs) [1]. The mature III-V compound semiconductor technology used to fabricate these devices results in much lower costs, larger array sizes, higher pixel operability, and better uniformity than those achievable with competing technologies such as HgCdTe. Especially, GaAs/AlGaAs QWIPs have been extensively used for large focal plane arrays (FPAs) of infrared imaging system. However, the research efforts for increasing sensitivity and operating temperature of the QWIPs still have pursued. The modification of heterostructures [2] and the various fabrications for preventing polarization selection rule [3] were suggested. In order to enhance optical performances of the QWIPs, double barrier quantum well (DBQW) structures will be introduced as the absorption layers for the suggested QWIPs. The DBWQ structure is an adequate solution for photodetectors working in the mid-wavelength infrared (MWIR) region and broadens the responsivity spectrum [4]. In this study, InGaAs/GaAs/AlGaAs double barrier quantum well infrared photodetectors (DB-QWIPs) are successfully fabricated and characterized. The heterostructures of the InGaAs/GaAs/AlGaAs DB-QWIPs are grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) system. Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy is used to examine the heterostructures of the InGaAs/GaAs/AlGaAs DB-QWIP. The mesa-type DB-QWIPs (Area : $2mm{\times}2mm$) are fabricated by conventional optical lithography and wet etching process and Ni/Ge/Au ohmic contacts were evaporated onto the top and bottom layers. The dark current are measured at different temperatures and the temperature and applied bias dependence of the intersubband photocurrents are studied by using Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) system equipped with cryostat. The photovoltaic behavior of the DB-QWIPs can be observed up to 120 K due to the generated built-in electric field caused from the asymmetric heterostructures of the DB-QWIPs. The fabricated DB-QWIPs exhibit spectral photoresponses at wavelengths range from 3 to $7{\mu}m$. Grating structure formed on the window surface of the DB-QWIP will induce the enhancement of optical responses.

중적외선 물질에는 Ge, ZnS, ZnSe, Si 등이 있으나 고굴절율이므로 반사가 매우 크게 발생을 한다. 이를 줄이기 위해 다층 박막 무반사 코팅을 일반적으로 사용하지만 열에 취약함, 적합한 물질을 찾는 것이 매우 어려움, 다층 박막으로 제작 시 두께가 매우 두꺼워짐의 단점이 있다. 또한 Ge, ZnS, ZnSe 의 소재는 가격이 Silicon에 비해 매우 비싸다. 그러므로 RCWA(Rigorous Coupled Wavelength Analysis) 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 상대적으로 저렴한 소재임에도 고투과성을 지닌 중적외선용 무반사 실리콘 서브파장구조(Subwavelength Structures, SWSs)를 제안한다. 본 연구에서는 원기둥, 원뿔, 파라볼라, 잘린 원뿔(truncated cone) 등의 형태에 따른 투과율 특성을 파악하여 최적구조가 파라볼라 형태임을 증명하였다. 또한 서브파장구조의 주기, 높이의 특성을 조절하여 공정 시의 종횡비(Aspect ratio)를 고려한 최적형태를 제안하였다. 중적외선 영역($3{\mu}m{\sim}5{\mu}m$)에서 일반 Silicon의 적외선 영역에서 평균 55%의 낮은 투과율을 보이나, 양면에 무반사 구조를 설계 하였을 때 평균 94%의 높은 투과율을 확인할 수 있다. 다양한 형태를 가진 무반사 실리콘 서브파장 구조물을 RCWA 방식으로 계산함으로서 특성을 파악하며 최적구조를 설계 할 수 있다. 또한 단면에 비하여 양면으로 SWSs 구조를 제작할 시 매우 두드러지는 투과특성을 확인할 수 있다. 고굴절율이지만 뛰어난 투과특성을 이용하여 초소형 적외선 카메라 렌즈 뿐만 아니라 적외선 광검출기, 광학 필터 등에 이용 가능할 것으로 예상된다.

We report the spatial distribution of early-type stars and pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars around the starburst type young open cluster Westerlund 2. The early-type were selected from UBVI photometric data, while the PMS members were identified from their X-ray emission and mid-infrared excess. The northern clump of the cluster is composed mainly of PMS stars detected in both optical and X-ray and seems to be coeval to the cluster, while PMS stars in the bright bridge region are highly obscured in optical wavelength. The bright bridge appear to be an on-going star forming region possibly triggered by the strong radiation field from both sides-massive stars in Westerlund 2 and WR 20b. We also found that there are many early-type stars not only in the cluster but also farther from the cluster up to several times of the cluster radius. These early-type stars are well aligned from east to southwest of the cluster. We conclude these early-type stars are members of an OB association in the RCW 49 nebula. This report indicates there is a complex star formation history in Westerlund 2 and its surrounding H II region, the RCW 49 nebula.

Optical variability is one way to probe the nature of the central engine of AGN at smaller linear scales and previous studies have shown that optical variability is more prevalent at longer timescales and at shorter wavelengths. Especially, intra-night variability can be explained through the damped random walk model but small samples and inhomogeneous data have made constraining this model hard. To understand the properties and physical mechanism of optical variability, we are performing the KMTNet Active Nuclei Variability Survey (KANVaS). Test data of KMTNet in the COSMOS field was obtained over 2 separate nights during 2015, in B, V, R, and I bands. Each night was composed of 5 and 9 epochs with ~30 min cadence. To find AGN in the COSMOS field, we applied multi-wavelength selection methods. Different selection methods means we are looking different region in unification model of AGN, and 100~120, 400~500, 50~100 number of AGN are detected in X-ray, mid-infrared, and radio selection of AGN, respectively. We performed image convolution to reflect seeing fluctuation, then differential photometry between the selected AGN and nearby stars to achieve photometric uncertainty ~0.01mag. We employed one of the standard time-series analysis tools to identify variable AGN, chi-square test. Preliminarily results indicate that intra-night variability is found for X-ray selected, Type1 AGN are 23.6%, 26.4%, 21.3% and 20.7% in the B, V, R, and I band, respectively. The majority of the identified variable AGN are classified as Type 1 AGN, with only a handful of Type 2 AGN showing evidence for variability. The work done so far confirms that there are type and wavelength dependence of intra-night optical variability of AGN.

In this work, we report detailed numerical analysis of the near-elliptic core index-guiding triangular-lattice and square-lattice photonic crystal fiber (PCFs); where we numerically characterize the birefringence, single mode, cut-off behavior and group velocity dispersion and effective area properties. By varying geometry and examining the modal field profile we find that for the same relative values of $d/{\Lambda}$, triangular-lattice PCFs show higher birefringence whereas the square-lattice PCFs show a wider range of single-mode operation. Square-lattice PCF was found to be endlessly single-mode for higher air-filling fraction ($d/{\Lambda}$). Dispersion comparison between the two structures reveal that we need smaller lengths of triangular-lattice PCF for dispersion compensation whereas PCFs with square-lattice with nearer relative dispersion slope (RDS) can better compensate the broadband dispersion. Square-lattice PCFs show zero dispersion wavelength (ZDW) red-shifted, making it preferable for mid-IR supercontinuum generation (SCG) with highly non-linear chalcogenide material. Square-lattice PCFs show higher dispersion slope that leads to compression of the broadband, thus accumulating more power in the pulse. On the other hand, triangular-lattice PCF with flat dispersion profile can generate broader SCG. Square-lattice PCF with low Group Velocity Dispersion (GVD) at the anomalous dispersion corresponds to higher dispersion length ($L_D$) and higher degree of solitonic interaction. The effective area of square-lattice PCF is always greater than its triangular-lattice counterpart making it better suited for high power applications. We have also performed a comparison of the dispersion properties of between the symmetric-core and asymmetric-core triangular-lattice PCF. While we need smaller length of symmetric-core PCF for dispersion compensation, broadband dispersion compensation can be performed with asymmetric-core PCF. Mid-Infrared (IR) SCG can be better performed with asymmetric core PCF with compressed and high power pulse, while wider range of SCG can be performed with symmetric core PCF. Thus, this study will be extremely useful for designing/realizing fiber towards a custom application around these characteristics.

본 논문에서는 적외선 파장대에서 렌즈의 변조전달함수(MTF)를 칼날 주사방식으로 측정하는 적외선 MTF 측정장치를 구성하고 평가하였다. 측정장치는 물체부, 평행광을 만들어주는 시준부, 형성된 상을 분석하는 분석부로 나뉜다. 광원으로는 텅스텐 필라멘트 광원을 사용하였으며 중적외선 영상을 검출하기 위해 MCT를 사용하였다. 이 장치를 사용하여 ZnSe 재질의 f 수가 5인 표준렌즈의 MTF를 중적외선 파장대인 $3{\sim}5{\mu}m$에서 측정하고 Zemax 프로그램을 통해 계산한 이론값과 측정값 차이를 비교하여 차단주파수(Cut-off frequency)인 50 1/mm까지 전구간에서 ${\pm}0.035$이내임을 확인하였다. 또한 측정값의 신뢰도를 확인하기 위한 A형 측정불확도를 계산한 결과 MTF의 대표 공간 주파수인 20 1/mm에서 0.002으로 동일한 조건 하에서 측정 시 측정값의 변화가 거의 없음을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구는 적외선 광학재료의 중적외선 영역의 굴절률을 파악하기 위해 반사율을 측정하고 굴절률과 반사율의 관계로부터 굴절률을 추정하는 방법을 제안한다. 전반사 거울 4개를 일정한 간격으로 배열하고 적외선 광원으로부터 연속 파장의 평행광이 45°로 입사되도록 광 경로를 구성한다. 광 경로를 따라 4개의 전반사 거울에 반사되어 온 광강도 I_B를 측정한 후, 광 경로의 마지막에 놓이는 거울을 시편으로 교체하고 광강도 I_s를 측정한다. I_B와 I_s, 전반사 거울의 비를 이용하여 재료의 반사율을 계산한다. 계산된 반사율과 Fresnel의 굴절률과 반사율 관계식에 넣고 시행착오법으로 굴절률을 추정한다. 이 방법을 적용하여 사파이어(Al₂O₃), 게르마늄(Ge), 불화마그네슘(MgF₂), 황화아연(ZnS)재료를 대상으로 실험하고 굴절률을 추정하여 참고문헌자료들과의 비교를 통하여 모든 재료에 대해 파장범위 3 - 5㎛에서 최대 차이 2% 이하로 잘 일치하는 결과를 얻을 수 있었으며, 이를 통해 본 굴절률 측정방법의 타당성을 확인할 수 있다. 본 연구에서 제시된 방법은 연속 파장의 적외선 광원을 사용하기 때문에 한 번의 측정으로 여러 파장에 대한 굴절률을 추정 할 수 있는 장점이 있다.

An overview of the North Ecliptic Pole (NEP) deep multi-wavelength survey covering from X-ray to radio wavelengths is presented. The main science objective of this multi-wavelength project is to unveil the star-formation and AGN activities obscured by dust in the violent epoch of the Universe (z=0.5-2), when the star formation and black-hole evolution activities were much stronger than the present. The NEP deep survey with AKARI/IRC consists of two survey projects: shallow wide (8.2 sq. deg, NEP-Wide) and the deep one (0.6 sq. deg, NEP-Deep). The NEP-Deep provides us with a $15{\mu}m$ or $18{\mu}m$ selected sample of several thousands of galaxies, the largest sample ever made at these wavelengths. A continuous filter coverage at mid-IR wavelengths (7, 9, 11, 15, 18, and $24{\mu}m$) is unique and vital to diagnose the contribution from starbursts and AGNs in the galaxies at the violent epoch. The recent updates of the ancillary data are also provided: optical/near-IR magnitudes (Subaru, CFHT), X-ray (Chandra), FUV/NUV (GALEX), radio (WSRT, GMRT), optical spectra (Keck/DEIMOS etc.), Subaru/FMOS, Herschel/SPIRE, and JCMT/SCUBA-2.
