The ZnO thin films doped with Ga and Ge (GZO:Ge) were prepared on glass substrate using RF sputtering system. Structural, morphological and optical properties of the films deposited in different temperatures were studied. Proportion of the element of using target was 97 wt% ZnO, 2.5 wt% Ga and 0.5 wt% Ge with 99.99% highly purity. Structural properties of the samples deposited in different temperatures with 200 w RF power were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy, FE-SEM images and x-ray diffraction XRD analysis. Atomic force microscopy, AFM images were able to show the grain scales and surface roughness of each film rather clearly than SEM images. it was showed that increasing temperature have better surface smoothness by FE-SEM and AFM images. Transmittance study using UV-Vis spectrometer showed that all the samples have highly transparent in visible region (300~800 nm). In addition, it can be able to calculate bandgap energy from absorbance data obtained with transmittance. The hall resistivity, mobility, and optical band gap energy are influenced by the temperature.

The effect of modifiers on the optical features and radiation defying ability of the Eu³⁺ ions doped multi constituent glasses was examined. XRD has established the amorphous nature of the specimen. The presence of various functional/fundamental groups in the present glasses was analyzed through FTIR spectra. The physical, structural and elastic traits of the glasses were explored. The variation in the structural compactness of the glass structure according to the incorporated modifier was enlightened to describe their suitability for a better shielding media. For the examined glasses, the metallization criterion value varied in the range 0.613-0.692, indicating the non-metallic character of the glasses with possible nonlinear optical applications. The computed elastic moduli expose the Li-containing glass (BTLi:Eu) to be tightly packed and rigid, which is a requirement for a better shielding channel. Furthermore, the optical bandgap and the Urbach energy values are calculated based on the optical absorption spectra. The evaluated bonding parameters revealed the nature of the fabricated glasses covalent. In addition, we investigated the radiation attenuation attributes of the prepared Eu³⁺ ions doped multi constituent glasses using Phy-X software. We determined the linear attenuation coefficient (LAC) and reported the influence of the five oxides Li₂O₃, CaO, BaO, SrO, and ZnO on the LAC values. The LAC varied between 0.433 and 0.549 cm^-1 at 0.284 MeV. The 39B₂O₃-25TeO₂-15Li₂O₃-10Na₂O-10K₂O-1Eu₂O₃ glass has a much smaller LAC than the other glasses.

The Ga₂O₃ thin films were deposited using an RF sputtering system and the effect of crystallographic and optical properties under rapid thermal annealing conditions on Ga₂O₃ thin film was evaluated. A rapid thermal annealing method can fabricate a crystalline Ga₂O₃ thin film which is applied to various fields with a low cost and a high efficiency compared with the conventional post-annealing method. In this study, the Ga₂O₃ treated at 900℃ for 1 min showed the beta and gamma phases in XRD measurement. In optical properties, the crystalline Ga₂O₃ represented a high transmittance of more than 80% in the visible region and was calculated with a high optical bandgap energy of 4.58 eV. The beta and gamma phases Ga₂O₃ can be obtained by adjusting the rapid thermal annealing temperatures, and the various properties such as the optical bandgap energy can be controlled. Moreover, it is expected that crystalline Ga₂O₃ can be applied to various devices by controlling not only temperature but process time.

We demonstrate a polarization insensitive waveguide filter using quantum well intermixing(QWI). The bandgap of epitaxial layer is modified from 1.55${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 1.40${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ using QWI and a Bragg grating filter is demonstrated using electron beam lithography technology. The fabricated waveguide filter has a 70% reflection efficiency and a 1.46nm filter bandwidth. Furthermore polarization insensitive transmission characteristics are observed. The device can be applied to photonic integrated circuits(PIC).

주기적인 유전율의 변화를 가지는 광결정에 대한 연구가 최근 10여년간 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 광결정에 존재하는 특성인 광 밴드갭(photonic bandgap) 효과를 이용한 단일 결함 구조의 레이저나 선결함의 도파로에 응용성이 활발하게 이루어지는 가운데 새로운 시도로 표면파(surface wave)를 이용한 광결정의 응용성을 고찰해 보았다. 주기적으로 층이 진 물질과 균일한 물질의 경계면에서 전자기파가 구속 될 수 있다는 것이 보고된 바 있다. (중략)

광결정(photonic crystal)은 서로 다른 유전체가 규칙적으로 배열되어 있는 구조로서, 빛이 진행할 수 없는 진동수 영역인 광밴드갭(photonic bandgap)이 존재한다. 광밴드갭 특성으로 빛의 자발 방출과 진행 방향이 조절될 수 있기 때문에, 광결정은 나노 레이저, 광도파관, LED(Light Emitting Diode) 등의 광소자 개발에 응용되고 있다. 지금까지 2차원, 3차원의 광결정에 대한 많은 연구가 수행되어 왔으며, 현재에는 2차원의 슬랩(slab) 구조에 대해 활발하게 연구되고 있다. (중략)

GaN는 wurzite structure를 갖는 wide bandgap III-V족 반도체로서, 청색 반도체 laser diode (LD), light emitting diode (LED)등으로 응용되는 물질이다. InGaN quantum well은 GaN계의 청색 LD, LED 구조에서 활성층으로 사용되기 때문에 이에 대한 광학적 연구가 활발하다.

We have studied both theoretically and experimentally an omnidirectional reflector operating at the wavelength region of 1.3 $\mu$m. The omnnidirectional reflector, a special case of one-dimensional photonic crystals, was prepared by alternately sputtering two dielectric materials, amorphous silicon and silicon dioxide. Measured reflectance spectra, very consistent with simulated results at all angles and polarizations, clearly showed the existence of an omnidirectional photonic bandgap.
