This study has been performed to investigate into some effects of the power density and traverse speed of laser beam on the optical microstructure, hardness and wear characteristics of medium carbon low alloy steel treated by laser surface hardening technique. The results obtained from the experiment are summarized as follows : (1) Optical micrograph has shown that finer lath martensite is formed and the amount of undissolved complex carbides increases as the traverse speed increases under the condition of a given power density, whereas the coarsening of lath martensite and the reduction of undissolved complex carbides occur with increasing the power density at a given traverse speed. (2) Hardness measurements have revealed that as the traverse speed increases, hardness values of outermost surface layer more of less decrease under low power densities, but are uniformly distributed under high power densities, also showing that they are uniformly distributed at low traverse speeds and more or less decrease at high traverse speeds with increasing the power density. (3) The effective case depth has been found to decrease from 0.26 mm to 0.17 mm with increasing the traverse speed from 1.5 m/min to 3.0 m/min at a given power density of $25.48{\times}10^3w/cm^2$ and to increase from 0.20 mm to 0.36 mm with increasing the power density from $19.11{\times}10^3w/cm^2$ to $38.22{\times}10^3w/cm^2$ at a given traverse speed of 2.0 m/min. (4) Wear test has exhibited that the amount of weight loss of laser surface hardened specimen with respect to sliding distance at a given load increases with increasing traverse speed at a given power density and decreses with increasing power density at a given traverse speed.

We have generated Ar plasma in dense plasma focus device with coaxial electrodes for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography and investigated an emitted visible light for electro-optical plasma diagnostics. We have applied an input voltage 4.5 kV to the capacitor bank of 1.53 uF and the diode chamber has been filled with Ar gas of pressure 8 mTorr. The inner surface of the cylindrical cathode has been attatched by an acetal insulator. Also, the anode made of tin metal. If we assumed that the focused plasma regions satisfy the local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) conditions, the electron temperature and density of the coaxial plasma focus could be obtained by Stark broadening of optical emission spectroscopy (OES). The Lorentzian profile for emission lines of Ar I of 426.629 nm and Ar II of 487.99 nm were measured with a visible monochromator. And the electron density has been estimated by FWHM (Full Width Half Maximum) of its profile. To find the exact value of FWHM, we observed the instrument line broadening of the monochromator with a Hg-Ar reference lamp. The electron temperature has been calculated using the two relative electron density ratios of the Stark profiles. In case of electron density, it has been observed by the Stark broadening method. This experiment result shows the temporal behavior of the electron temperature and density characteristics for the focused plasma. The EUV emission signal whose wavelength is about 6 ~ 16 nm has been detected by using a photo-detector (AXUV-100 Zr/C, IRD). The result compared the electron temperature and density with the temporal EUV signal. The electron density and temperature were observed to be $10^{16}\;cm^{-3}$ and 20 ~ 30 eV, respectively.

대기압 플라즈마와 생체용액과의 상호작용은 Bio-medical 분야에서 주목 받고 있다. 대기압 플라즈마는 전자온도가 고온 플라즈마 보다 상대적으로 낮기 때문에 생체에 적용하기가 적합하다. 따라서 플라즈마가 세포에 미치는 영향을 관측하기 위해서 대기압 플라즈마를 이용하여 생체용액과의 반응을 살펴보고자 한다. Ar gas를 이용하여 플라즈마를 발생시켜 생체용액 표면을 처리하고 OES (Optical Emission Spectroscopy)을 이용해 방출 선을 조사했다. Ar 기체를 이용한 대기압 플라즈마를 사용하여 다른종류의 용액내의 OH Radical Density를 측정하였다. 용액으로는 DI (deionized) water 와 PBS (1x phosphate buffered saline)를 사용하였다. Ar gas를 200 sccm ($cm^3/min$) 으로 흐르게 하였을 때, DI water의 OH Radical Density 는 $4.33{\times}10^{16}cm^{-3}$ 으로 측정되었으며, 자외선 흡수분광법으로 측정한 완충용액인 PBS의 OH Radical Density 측정값은 $1.87{\times}10^{16}cm^{-3}$ 이다. 이런 특성을 기반으로, PBS 용액내의 H460 (Lung Cancer Cell) 와 L132 (Lung Normal Cell)을 깊이와 시간에 따라 대기압 플라즈마로 처리하여 cell의 변화를 보았다. 실험 각각의 조건은 깊이를 2 mm, 4 mm, 6 mm이며 시간은 10 sec, 30 sec, 60 sec 로 설정하였다. 표면으로부터의 깊이가 2 mm, 4 mm, 6 mm 일때 의 OH Radical Density는 각각 $1.87{\times}10^{16}cm^{-3}$, $0.5{\times}10^{16}cm^{-3}$, 0으로써 용액이 깊어질수록 OH Radical Density가 감소함을 볼 수 있다. OH radical density가 높은 2 mm 에서, 처리한 시간이 길어질수록 Cell 은 영향을 많이 받음을 관찰 할 수 있었다. H460 이 L132 보다 플라즈마에 영향을 많이 받음을 확인하였다. 특성변화를 알아보기 위하여 raman spectroscopy, flow cytometry, electron spin resonance로 측정한다.

근접장 주사 광학 현미경(Near-field scanning optical microscope)에서 가장 중요한 부분은 바로 근접장 탐침(Near-field optical probe)이다. 가간 널리 사용되는 근접장 탐침은 끝 부분에 매우 작은 구멍만 남기고 나머지 부분은 금속으로 코팅한 뾰족한 광섬유(Metal-clad tapered optical fiber)이다. 탐침의 끝에 형성된 작은 구멍은 진행하지 못하는 근접장(Near-field)을 진행하는 먼장(Far-field)으로 바꾸어줌으로서 회절한계를 뛰어넘는 분해능을 가능하게 한다. 그러나, 이러한 작은 구멍은 매우 작은 투과 효율(Transmission efficiency)을 가지기 때문에 고밀도 광기록(High-density optical recording)등에 이용하는데 큰 어려움이 있었다.$^{(1).(3)}$ 따라서 금속이 코팅된 뾰족한 광섬유 내에서 빛이 어떻게 진행되는지에 대한 연구를 통해 보다 높은 효율을 가지는 근접장 탐침을 개발하는 것이 중요한 과제가 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 금속이 코팅된 뾰족한 광섬유 도파로 내에서 구멍의 크기와 빛의 투과 효율의 관계를 보고한다.

As optical disk drives become designed for portable and hostile environment, higher storage density and smaller size, optical disk drives have a possibility to miss the track and not to read the data. This paper presents the modeling of an optical disk drive as 3-DOF system. Optical disk drives are tested with a linear drop test device and their results are compared with simulation results in order to verify the shock analysis. Finally, this paper shows shock response of a optical disk drive with changes of parameters

This paper presents the joint characteristic function of the first- and second-order polarization-modedispersion (PMD) vectors in installed optical fibers that are almost linearly birefringent. The joint characteristic function is a Fourier transform of the joint probability density function of these PMD vectors. We regard the random fiber birefringence components as white Gaussian processes and use a Fokker-Planck method. In the limit of a large transmission distance, our joint characteristic function agrees with the previous joint characteristic function obtained for highly birefringent fibers. However, their differences can be noticeable for practical transmission distances.

The development and application of silicon photonics technology to terabit optical transmission are expected in the future. Silicon photonics technology is recognized as the only technology focusing on increasing the bandwidth of data center switches. High-density integration-based small optical subassemblies, optical engines, and optical transceivers are converged with the silicon photonics technology to accelerate a revolution in optical interfaces.

In this study, the optical depth is analyzed with the effects of droplet size distribution of the water curtain nozzle to attenuate the radiative heat transfer. The HELOS/VARIO equipment is used for the measurement of the droplet size distributions. The spray characteristics are quantified by the investigation of Deirmenjian's modified gamma distribution function. The distribution constant of the nozzle can be obtained as ${\alpha}=1$ and ${\gamma}=5.2$. The generalized equation of the optical depth related with the droplet size distribution is introduced. These results will be applicable to the analysis of the design condition of the water curtain nozzle.

The implement the adaptive partial response maximum likelihood (PRML) detector with tilt analyzer for asymmetric high-density optical storage system. For the estimation of disc tilt, we exploit spc patterns in each data frame. Because of using the ROM table to renew the coefficients of equalizer and reference values of branches, the complexity of the hardware is reduced. The proposed PRML has been designed and verified by VerilogHDL and synthesized by the Synopsys Design Compiler with Hynix $0.35{\mu}m$ STD cell library. In the result, the total gate count is 35K, and the maximum operating frequency is 140MHz.
