The shape of a galaxy's spectral energy distribution ranging from ultraviolet (UV) to infrared (IR) wavelengths provides crucial information about the underlying stellar populations, metal contents, and star-formation history. Therefore, analysis of the SED is the main means through which astronomers study distant galaxies. However, interstellar dust absorbs and scatters UV and optical light, re-emitting the absorbed energy in the mid-IR and Far-IR. I present the updated 3D Monte-Carlo radaitive transfer code MoCafe to compute the radiative transfer of stellar, dust emission through a dusty medium. The code calculates the emission expected from dust not only in pure thermal equilibrium state but also in non-thermal equilibrium state. The stochastic heating of very small dust grains and/or PAHs is calculated by solving the transition probability matrix equation between different vibrational, internal energy states. The calculation of stochastic heating is computationally expensive. A pilot study of radiative transfer models of SEDs in clumpy (turbulent), galactic environments, which has been successfully used to understand the Calzetti attenuation curves in Seon & Draine (2016), is also presented.

모드 동기된 아르곤 이온 레이저를 여기광원으로 사용한 시간상관 단일 광자 계수장치를 이용하여 에탄올 용액 내에서 Rhodamine 6G에서 Rhodamine B로의 에너지 전달에 관하여 연구하였다. 측정된 형광 소멸 곡선은 본 실험실에서 개발한 full-fit program으로 deconvolution 하여 reduced concentration 과 critical transfer distance를 구했다. donor 의 농도가 acceptor의 농도보다 작을 경우에는 Foster 모델이 클 경우에는 Huber 모델이 잘 맞음을 확인하였다.

In this report, we present newly improved optical design for the Amon-Ra energy channel and its optical performance. The design is optimized parametrically with emphasis on improved light concentration. And then its performances are computed, first, from a laboratory test simulation using laser method (wave optics approach) and, second, from an in-orbit radiative transfer simulation using IRT method with 3D Earth model (geometrical optics approach). Two simulation test results show clear evidence of energy concentration improvement.

$SrAl_{12}O_{19}:Ce_x{^{3+}}$,$Eu_{0.01}{^{2+}}$ phosphors were synthesized through a combustion process and their optical properties were investigated using time-resolved photoluminescence. A PL spectrum showed two dominant peaks which appeared at 300 and 410 nm. It is seen that, as the $Ce^{3+}$ concentration increases, the intensity of 300 nm decreases and the intensity of 410 nm increases. This behavior has been explained by two independent energy transfer mechanism. The first energy transfer occurs from $Ce^{3+}$ ion to $Eu^{3+}$ ion. The second energy transfer takes place from $Ce^{3+}$ ion to $Ce^{3+}-O_{ME}$ complex created in the magnetoplumbite structural host materials. The blue emitting 410 nm peak has been explained by both energy transfer mechanisms.

The energy transfer from photoexcited polyvinylcarbazole (PVK) chromophores with a bandgap of 3.7 eV as a donor to fluorophores of poly(dihexylfluorenevinylene) (PDHFV) or poly(dihexylfluorenedihexoxyphenylenevinylene) (PDHFHPV) as an acceptor in bilayered specimens should be carried out since the spectral overlap pairs fulfills the requirement for the $F{\"{o}}rster-type$ condition. However, the energy transfer rate from the chromophores with a wider bandgap to the fluorophores with a narrower bandgap is proved to be strongly dependent on the lifetime ratio between the excitons.

We synthesized $Er^{3+}-Yb^{3+}$, $Pr^{3+}-Yb^{3+}$, and $Er^{3+}-Pr^{3+}-Yb^{3+}$ -doped oxyfluoride glass ceramics containing $CaF_2$ nanocrystals by proper thermal treatments. Spectral characteristics of down- and up-converted emissions in three kinds of glass ceramics under 365-nm and 980-nm excitations were compared and explained by cross relaxations, excited-state absorptions, and energy-transfer processes between different ions. The huge reduction of up-conversion emission in the triply doped glass ceramics under 980-nm excitation compared to the $Er^{3+}-Yb^{3+}$ codoped one was explained by the split pump power and the direct energy transfer from $Er^{3+}$ to $Pr^{3+}$ ions. Increasing $Yb^{3+}$ concentration from 2% to 10% in the triply doped glass ceramics showed more than quadratic enhancement of the absorbed power, and we explained it by the enhanced energy-transfer efficiency from $Yb^{3+}$ to $Er^{3+}$ ions. We also observed enhanced up-converted emissions of $Er^{3+}$ and $Pr^{3+}$ ions in three kinds of glass ceramics under simultaneous excitation at 980 nm and 1550 nm, and suggested detailed up-conversion mechanisms.

Energy transfer direction in $Er^{3+}-Tm^{3+}$-codoped fluorozirconate glasses has been studied. For $Er^{3+}-Tm^{3+}$-codoped glasses, the dependence of the green emission intensity on the pump power (Pex) of 800 nm has ranged from (Pex)$^2$ to (Pex)$^3$. From this multistep absorption, a 1.48 $\mu m$ emission from the $^3F_4{\rightarrow}^3H_4$ transition on Tm$^{3+}$ ion has been found to transfer into $^4I_{13/2}$, $^4I_{9/2}$ and $^4S_{3/2}$ on $Er^{3+}$ ion. In case of the 1.06 $\mu m$ pumping, the emissin ratio of $^3H_4$ level in $Tm^{3+}$ to $^4I_{13/2}$ in $Er^{3+}$ showed that the amount of the energy transfer from $Tm^{3+}$ into $Er^{3+}$ increased with the increasing concentration of $Tm^{3+}$ ion. Our two kinds of pumping scheme suggest that the direction of dominant energy transfer between $Er^{3+}$ and $Tm^{3+}$ should be dependent on whether the $^3F_4$ level resonates in $Tm^{3+}$ the level or not.

The energy transfer of a laser-diode-pumped Nd : S-VAP laser was detected by the photoacoustic technique using a PZT detector. The photoacoustic method suggests an effectvie approach to understand the energy transfer mechanism of the laser cavity, and to find out the optimum output coupler of the oscillator with comparative ease.
