The present metering transformer being used for measurement has the characteristics of high reliability and high efficiency. In the future, however, it is thought that the scales of mettering transformer will be larger and the cost of production will increase as the transmission voltage ascends to UHV. And, also, it wilt be not easy to ensure the aseismatic capability. For the purpose of settling these problems, by applying optical sensor technology to electric power systems and by developing optical current transformer and potential transformer, we will realize the saving in energy, reduction of cost prise, improvement in measuring precision.

In this paper, highly-efficient optical gating in a junction device based on vanadium dioxide($VO_2$) thin film grown by a sol-gel method was investigated as a gate terminal of a three-terminal device using infrared light with a wavelength of ~1554.6 nm. Due to the photoinduced phase transition, the threshold voltage of the $VO_2$ junction device, at which the device current abruptly jumps, could be tuned with a sensitivity of ~96.5 V/W by adjusting the optical power of the infrared light directly illuminating the device. Compared with the tuning efficiency of the previous device fabricated using $VO_2$ thin film deposited by a pulsed laser deposition method, the threshold voltage of this device could be tuned by ~76.8 % at an illumination power of ~39.8 mW resulting in a tuning efficiency of ~1.930 %/mW, which is ~4.9 times larger than the previous device.

This study is about the design and fabrication of optical voltage sensor modules improved in the insulation reliability, where we adopted the space-division voltage system using the auxiliary electrodes to apply the uniform electric fields to the BSO, the device of which the polarization state varies with the variation of refractive index in the electric fields. We measured the output of fiber-Optic Voltage Sensors with the temperature changes in the thermostatic oven. And we measured the output of Fiber-Optic Voltage Sensors after setting its up in the disttibuion automated switch being apply 60Hz alternating voltage from 6.6kV to 17.BkV. In result, measured error characteristic is good, so we can judge it is applicable to the practical case

A reliable voltage measurement system is necessary to monitor status of power facilities in substations, which is easy to set up and is not influenced by electromagnetic interference in and around substation. In this paper, we described a voltage measurement system (VMS) which is composed of a capacitive voltage probe, an impedance converter, and an optical linker. To get a wide-band characteristic of the VMS, a high speed impedance converter was used, and the output impedance of the VMS was set at $50{\Omega}$ to match any types of observing instruments. The frequency bandwidth of the VMS. which was estimated by a step pulse, was ranges from 11.42 Hz to 13.65 MHz, and the VMS showed a good response characteristic in a high frequency domain such as impulse voltages as well as a commercial frequency voltage.

In this study, simple and portable radiation detection system using X-ray intensifying screen, optical sensor and micro-controller unit for education was proposed. The system was simply composed of detection unit consisting of an optical sensor and intensifying screen, micro-controller unit, and was designed to be suitable for portable. Radiation was measured using developed detection system and absorbed dose dosimeter with changing tube voltage from 50 to 100 kVp. The tube current and SDD were fixed on 100 mAs and 100 cm, and dose were measured repeated ten times at each tube voltage. The response and linearity of the detection system were confirmed using the measured values. It was confirmed that the comparison measurement results of the detection system and absorbed dose dosimeter showed a high correlation(r : 0.998, p<.001). In this results, the feasibility of the detection system with intensifying screen and micro-controller unit based was confirmed, and we considered that the developed detection system could be applied to portable, compact, low cost system for education.

Liquid crystal (LC) mesophase materials manifest a variety of phase transitions. The optical properties of LCs are highly dependent upon the phase and orientation of the optical axis with respect to the polarization of incoming light. Studying the LC phase transitions is significantly important for a wide range of scientific and industrial applications. In this study, we demonstrate the propagation velocity of the phase boundary between the nematic and isotropic phase of 4-Cyano-4-pentylbiphenyl (5CB) liquid crystal for different electric fields using a polarized optical microscope. The results demonstrate that the propagation velocity of the phase boundary exhibits a peak value for a specific voltage, attributed to the supercooling of the isotropic phase of the LC. The analysis of the propagation velocity for different electric fields also provides a simple optical platform to measure the thermal anisotropy and voltage dependent thermal properties of the homogeneously aligned LC.

In this paper, we describe the thermal characteristics of the output voltages of ethanol gas sensor according to the amount of radiation incident on the infrared sensors located at each focal point of two elliptical waveguides. In order to verify the output characteristics of the gas sensor according to the amount of incident light on the infrared sensor, two combinations of sensor modules were fabricated. Hydrophobic thin film is deposited on one of the reflectors of sensor modules and one of the two infrared sensors was equipped with a hollow disk (10 Ø), and the temperature characteristics of the infrared sensor equipped with the hollow disk (10 Ø) and the infrared sensor without the disk were tested. The temperature was varied from 253 K to 333 K at 10 K intervals based on 298 K. The properties of ethanol gas sensor have been identified with respect to varying temperature for a range of ethanol concentration from 0 ppm to 500 ppm. In the case of an infrared sensor equipped with a hollow disk (10 Ø), the output voltage of the sensor decreased by 0.8 mV and 1 mV, respectively, as the temperature increased. Conversely, the output voltage of the diskless infrared sensor showed an average increase of 67 mV and 57 mV as the temperature increased. The ethanol concentrations estimated on the basis of results show an error of more than 10 % for less than 100 ppm concentration. However, if the ethanol concentration exceeds 100 ppm, the gas concentration can be estimated within the range of ${\pm}10%$.

The PSD(Position Sensitive Detector) is a sensor for detecting the position of incident light. Because of its various advantages, it is used for position and angle sensing, optical range finders, laser displacement sensing, and etc. In the previous study of the position finding system, the laser tracking robot is developed. Small data rate and unidirectionality is the characteristics of data communication both DSP-based pan/tilt control board and the robot. If we can transmit data to the target using PSD sensor and laser diode module, there is no need for communication devices such as the bluetooth and wireless module. For this reason, this paper presents the new method for data transmission. Transmit data using RS-232 is modulated by a VTF(Voltage To Frequency) converter The laser diode module transmits the modulated data. And then the PSD sensor receive that data. Demodulation process is accomplished by the system which is consisted with trans-impedance amplifier, FTV(Frequency To Voltage) converter, and etc.

We developed a highly efficient organic photovoltaic (OPV) cell with a poly[4,8-bis(5-(2-ethylhexyl)thiophen-2-yl)benzo[1,2-b;4,5-b']dithiophene-2,6-diyl-alt-(4-(2-ethylhexyl)-3-fluorothieno[3,4-b]thiophene-)-2-carboxylate-2-6-diyl)]:[6,6]-phenyl-C71-butyric acid methyl ester active layer for harvesting lower-intensity indoor light energy to power various self-powered sensor systems that require power in the microwatt range. In order to achieve higher power conversion efficiency (PCE), we first optimized the thickness of the active layer of the OPV cell through optical simulations. Next, we fabricated an OPV cell with optimized active layer thickness. The device exhibited a PCE of 12.23%, open circuit voltage of 0.66 V, short-circuit current density of 97.7 ㎂/cm², and fill factor of 60.53%. Furthermore, the device showed a maximum power density of 45 ㎼/cm², which is suitable for powering a low-power (microwatt range) sensor system.
