Fiber ring laser based intra-cavity absorption spectroscopic sensor has great potential for high sensitivity gas detection. Using the rate equations and propagation equations, we investigated theoretically factors that affect the sensitivity of such fiber ring laser sensors and determined the optimal design parameters and conditions for significant enhancement of the system sensitivity. Experiments have been conducted to determine the sensitivity enhancement performance. The results showed a factor of 25 ~ 30 in sensitivity enhancement in the experimental system, agreeing well with the theoretical expectations. Experiments on acetylene detection have also been carried out and the results showed that the ring cavity significantly increases the signal absorption and that high sensitivity can be obtained for gas detection.

We investigated the influences of Ag nanoparticle (NP) arrays and surface nanohole (NH) patterns on the optical characteristics of 10-${\mu}m$-thick c-Si wafers using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations. In particular, we comparatively studied the plasmonic effects of both monomer arrays (MA) and heptamer arrays (HA) consisting of identical Ag NPs. HA improved the optical absorption of the c-Si wafers in much wider wavelength range than MA, with the help of hybridized plasmon modes. The light trapping capability of the NH array pattern is superior to that of the Ag plasmonic NPs. We also found that the addition of the Ag HA on the wafers with surface NH patterns further enhanced optical absorption: the expected short-circuit current density was as high as $34.96mA/cm^2$.

This research is about the optical characteristic of red tide which is collected from Nam-Hae for basic research of red tide remote sensing technique development. 21 kinds of red tide organisms are cultivated to investigate optical characteristic of them on the level of laboratory, and chlorophyll specific absorption coefficient($a^*$) and backscattering coefficient($b_b^*$) are estimated by using spectrophotometer. Absorption spectrums according to species are appeared diversely from 0.005 to 0.06 (mg/ $m^2$), and the shapes of spectrums are also different. The range of $b_b^*$ are appeared $10^{-2}{\sim}10^{-4}$ mg/ $m^2$, which have around 100 times differences between species, and the shape of spectrum also have significant difference between species. These results are able to use as an input data of inverse model from ocean color.

A simple method for determining the absorption coefficient of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin in human blood is proposed as an application of the complex propagation constant of a guided wave in a thin-film optical waveguide. A serial multichannel sample chamber is constructed on the waveguide to vary the interaction length between the evanescent field and the sample, and the dependence of the sensor response on the interaction length is investigated for the various concentration of two hemoglobins. The sensor response is linearly proportional to the interaction length and the concentration of two hemoglobins. The attenuation constant due to the evanescent field absorption between the samples is experimentally obtained with the designed sensor, and then the absorption coefficient is determined by the proposed method. The absorption coefficients determined by the proposed method fairly well coincided with those obtained by the conventional transmission measurement.

중적외선 분광학(mid-IR spectrocopy) 에서는 2.5～15 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 의 파장을 갖는 적외선을 시료에 조사하여 absorption spectrum 을 측정하는데 이 대역은 주로 분자들의 fundamental band 가 나타나는 영역으로 각 분자의 characteristic absorption band 가 비교적 깨끗하게 분리되어 있어 특정 compound 의 존재 유무를 확인하는데 쓰여 왔다. 그러나 보통의 경우에 시료에는 한 가지 화합물만이 존재하는 것이 아니고 여러 가지 화합물이 섞여 있는 경우가 많다.

A new type single beam photoacoustic spectrometer suitable for measuring optical absorption of condensed powder matter with the automatic calibration capability of a source power spectrum is introduced. The signal processing until of this spectrometer consists of a photoacoustic cell a lock-in amp., a switching circuit and a personal computer. The measured optical absorption spectra of a few material by this method are good agreement with the results obtained by the double-beam photoacoustic spectrometer.

EIT에 의한 흡수의 감소현상은 관측되고 이해되었으나 반대효과라 할 수 있는 원자결맞음으로 인한 흡수의 증가현상에 대한 연구는 최근에 Akulshin 등이 $^{85}$ Rb D2 전이선에서 자기장에 의한 유도 흡수 현상을 관측하고, 이론적인 결과를 보고했을 뿐이다$^{(1-3)}$ . 이들은 조사광과 결합광이 같은 주파수로 공진할 때, 특별한 조건에서 EIT 신호와는 반대부호의 공명신호 즉, 전자기-유도-흡수(Electromagnetically Induced Absorption; EIA$^{(1)}$ 를 처음으로 관측하였다.

The induced linewidth, frequency shift and absorption spectrum for a molecular dipole in the vicinity of a phase -conjugate mirror have been investgated within a classical phenomenological model, with particularreference to the technique of optical phase conjugation by a surface. While the shifts and the widths show similar characteristics as those obtained recently by Bochove who considered the problem within the context of four-wave mixing, the results obtained in the present model can be defined uniquely with the possibility of an infinite lifetime for the excited admolecule . Furthermore, the absorption lineshape obtained here some interesting features which depend on both the magnitude and the phase of the complex reflectivity of the mirror.

원자와 빛의 결맞음 효과로서 나타나는 많은 흥미로운 현상들 중에서 전자기파 유도 투과(Electro-magnetic Induced Transparency ; EIT)는 원자가 공진주파수를 가진 레이저와 상호작용하였을 때, 광자를 흡수하지 않고 투과하는 현상으로서, 주로 3준위 구도에서 연구되어왔다. 그러나 최근 축퇴된 2준위 구도에서 원자와 빛의 결맞음 효과가 연구되면서 EIT와 정반대의 현상인 전자기 유도 흡수(Electromagnetic Induced Absorption ; EIA)의 관측이 보고되었고 그것과 연관된 물리적 특성들의 연구가 시도되고 있다.
