The propagation of electromagnetic waves in a photorefractive crystal is considered. The electromagnetic waves(i.e. TE waves and TM, waves) incident upon the crystal at any incident angle are coupled with reflected waves due to the Fresnel's reflectance in the photorefractive crystal. This coupling leads to a nonreciprocal optical transmissivity. About some incident angles, the optical transmissivity of TE and TM waves in regard to the coupling strength is investigated.

Translucent plastics are commonly used in packaging of mechanical and/or electrical components. Although Rapid Prototyping(RP) provides prototypes of various materials, translucent RP parts are not readily available from most RP processes. ABSi is one of the ABS materials available for Stratasys' FDM process, and the material has potential to be translucent. In this paper, two post-processing techniques were applied in order to increase optical transmissivity of the parts made of FDM's ABSi. First, elevated temperature condition was applied resulting in increased transmissivity while dimensional shrinkage was observed. Second, resin infiltration and surface sanding provided upto 16% transmissivity without shrinkage. These post-processes can be selectively applied to increase transmissivity of ABSi parts. Thus, translucent FDM part can be fabricated from regular FDM process followed by the post-processes developed in this study.

In this paper, transparent circuit analog radar absorbing structure with angular stability for stealth aircraft canopy was proposed and designed. To obtain wideband electromagnetic absorption, optical transparency and smaller thickness, we proposed the novel FSS(Frequency Selective Surface) for X-band and implemented the resistive FSS and PEC(Perfect Electric Conductor) plane using ITO(Indium Thin Oxide) coating with optical transmissivity of 90 %. Reflection loss characteristics for different incident angles of both TE(Transverse Electric) and TM(Transverse Magnetic) polarizations are presented through simulations. We then fabricated the proposed structure to verify the simulation results. The comparisons between the simulation and measured results show good agreements. The results also show that the proposed radar absorbing structure can provide better frequency stability for different incidence angles and polarizations as well as optical transparency. We can apply this proposed structure to the canopy of stealth aircraft and other stealth applications for visible transparency.

In this paper, CdS thin films for the use of window layer in solar cell were fabricated by vacuum evaporation method to improve the reproducibility, The electrical and optical properties of thin films with the variations of substrates temperature and the variations of the film thickness were investigated. As increasing the substrates temperature the resistivities of films were increased. The samples transmissivity were shown over 70% when the wavelength were above 500 nm. In the films with 280 nm thickness, its transmissivity were reached 100%. The resistivities of the samples were decreased as increasing its thickness.

In this paper, we have designed the anti-reflection(AR) coating for $1400{\sim}1600$ nm wavelength range on the ferrule facet of optical connector. The low-temperature ion-assisted deposition was applied to AR coating on the ferrule facet in order to avoid damage of optical connector. We have measured the refractive index of coating film($Ta_2O_5\;and\;SiO_2$) using the ellipsometer and optimized the film thickness using the SEM and thickness measurement equipment. UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer is used to measure transmissivity of the AR coated ferrule facet. The refractive index of $Ta_2O_5\;and\;SiO_2$ is $2.123{\sim}2.125$ and $1.44{\sim}1.442$, respectively, for $1400{\sim}1600$ nm wavelength range. The transmissivity of the AR coated ferule facet is more than 99.8 % for $1425{\sim}1575$ nm wavelength range and more than 99.5 % for $1400{\sim}1600$ nm wavelength range. The return loss of the AR coated ferrule facet is 30.1 dB.

In this paper, CdS thin films well-known to window layer for solar cell were fabricated by means of vacuum evaporation method treated with different substrate heating. During film fabrication the substrates were heated at 50, 75 and $100^{\circ}C$, respectively. The thin films were then annealed at $200^{\circ}C$ in atmosphere, and the electrical and optical properties were investigated. By annealing, the hexagonal structure of films was changed into cubic structure. Their transmissivity was also increased and moved to longer wave band. It was shown that the film fabricated with the substrate heat-treated at $50^{\circ}C$ had the lowest resistivity.

Purpose: Transmittance at UV-visible spectra range was measured to confirm the effect of wet/dry state of commercially available SCL on human eyes. Method: Commercially available five SCLs fabricated by different materials were selected to measure optical properties according to humidity. Results: A relatively high transmittance above about 80% in the visible spectra range of the SCLs were observed. In the UV spectra range, the wet samples showed higher transmittance than those dried except an unusual case. Conclusions: All the samples having a high optical properties in the visible spectra range exhibit a high transmittance in the UV region. Further research will be needed to develop new materials having a sharp absorption edge in the UV spectra range.

Experimental examinations for evaluating fracutres were conducted by using transparent replicas of a single fracture in order to obtain the fracture data to contribute to the methodlogy on how to improve the definitaion of representative parameter values used for a parallel plate fracture model. Quantitative aperture distribution and quantitative tracer concentration data at each point in time were obtained by measuring the attenuation of transmitted light through the fracture in high spatial resolution. the representative aperture values evaluated from the multiple different measurement methods, such as arithmetic mean of aperture distribution measured by the optical method, transport aperture evaluated from the tracer test, and average aperture evaluated from the fracture void volume measurement converged to a unique value that indicates the accuracy of this experimental study. The aperture data was employed for verifying the numerical simulation under the assuption of Local Cubic Law and showed that the calculated flow rate through the fracture is 10%-100% larger than hydraulic test results. The quantitative tracer concentration data is also very valuable for validating existing numerical code for advection dispersion transport in-plane heterogeneous fractures.

The homo and hetero-junction diodes were fabricated using BP-Si structure. After removal of Si substrates, schottky diodes were fabricated on the BP bulk. The electrical properties of the diode were examined through current-voltage characteristics curve. The schottky diode with Sb electrode has a cut-in voltage of 0.33V. This value is almost equal to that of the typical schottky diodes. The breakdown voltage of the schottky diode is 30V. When BP was used for photo cell as a window, the conversion efficiency improved from 6.5% to 8.3%, and optical transmissivity of BP invreased in short wavelength region.
