The purpose of this study is to develop to portable near infrared analyzer measuring the sugar content of the fruits on a tree before harvesting ones. The portable near infrared system consists of a tungsten lamp, a coaxial optical fiber bundle and a multi-channel detector, which has 256 pixels and a concave transmission grating. Reflectance NIR spectra of orange were recorded by using a coaxial optical fiber bundle. The spectra were collected over the spectral range $400{\sim}1100nm$. Partial least squares regression(PLSR) was applied for a calibration and validation for determination of sugar contents. The multiple correlation coefficient was 0.99 and standard errors of calibration(SEC) was 0.069 brix. The calibration model predicted the sugar content for validation set with standard errors of prediction(SEP) of 0.092 brix. The sugar content in fruits was successfully quantified using the portable near infrared analyzer.

We present a design and optical simulation of a cost-effective hybrid daylighting/LED system composed of mixing sunlight and light-emitting diode (LED) illumination powered by renewable solar energy for indoor lighting. In this approach, the sunlight collected by the concentrator is split into visible and non-visible rays by a beam splitter. The proposed sunlight collector consists of a Fresnel lens array. The non-visible rays are absorbed by the solar photovoltaic devices to provide electrical power for the LEDs. The visible rays passing through the beam splitters are coupled to a stepped thickness waveguide (STW) by tilted mirrors and confined by total internal reflection (TIR). LEDs are integrated at the end of the STW to improve the lighting quality. LEDs’ light and sunlight are mixed in the waveguide and they are coupled into an optical fiber bundle for indoor illumination. An optical sensor and lighting control system are used to control the LED light flow to ensure that the total output flux for indoor lighting is a fixed value when the sunlight is inadequate. The daylighting capacity was modeled and simulated with a commercial ray tracing software (Lighttools^TM). Results show that the system can achieve 63.8% optical efficiency at geometrical concentration ratio of 630. A required accuracy of sun tracking system achieved more than ±0.5^o . Therefore, our results provide an important breakthrough for the commercialization of large scale optical fiber daylighting systems that are faced with challenges related to high costs.

현재 전 세계의 많은 과학자들이 지속 가능한 에너지원을 찾기 위하여 많은 노력을 하고 있지만, 태양광에너지가 궁극적인 해답이 될 것으로 받아들여지고 있다. 이러한 광 에너지는 조명용, 발열용, 통신용 등으로 사용될 수 있으며, 심지어 최근에는 광에너지로 동작하는 광자구동 모터에 대한 연구결과도 나오고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 광에너지를 광섬유를 통해 전송할 수 있는 기술에 대해 이론적인 분석을 수행하였다. 특히, 한 가닥의 광섬유에 여러 개의 코어(core)가 삽입된 멀티코어(multi-core) 광섬유를 이용한 광에너지 전송의 에너지 전송량에 대해 예측해 보았다. 본 논문의 분석 결과에 따르면, 한 가닥의 멀티코어 광섬유로 약 2 kW 의 광에너지 전송이 가능할 것으로 예측되었으며, 초고압선처럼 수 cm 의 직경으로 광섬유 다발을 묶을 경우에는 10 MW 이상의 광에너지 전송이 가능할 것으로 예측되었다. 이는 도체 전력선과 비교하여 절반수준의 에너지 전송량으로 충분한 경쟁력이 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Near-infrared spectroscopy is now being used in clinical diagnosis as a non-invasive monitor of tissue oxygenation state. However, due to lack of the optical pathlength information within tissues, it is still difficult to quantitate the hemoglobin concentration with present CW techniques. Time-resolved spectroscopy (TRS), which measures temporal profiles of emerging light from tissues, enables to estimate the pathlength distribution within tissues by converting time to distance. Consequently, quantitative measurement of tissue oxygenation is possible by analyzing the data with optical diffusion equation 1) or our Microscopic Beer-Lambert law2). Time-Resolved Spectroscopy System : TRS-1O3) Our TRS-10 system consists of a three-wavelength (759, 797, 833 nm) PLP as pulsed light source, a high speed PMT with high sensitivity and three signal-processing circuits for time-resolved measurement (CFD/TAC, A/D converter and histogram memory). Optical pulse train consisting of 759, 797 and 833nm is generated by PLP at 5㎒ repetition rate and irradiated a sample through a single optical fiber. The diffuse-reflected light from the sample is collected by a bundle fiber and then detected by the PMT for single photon measurement. After being amplified by a following fast amplifier, the electrical signals for each wavelength are picked out by CFD/TAC module. Then, a signal processing circuit integrated the TRS data for each wavelength individually. The simultaneous TRS measurement for three wavelengths achieved without any optical or mechanical switch. Experiment and Results Input and detection fibers of TRS-10 were attached at the human forehead with a fiber separation of 3cm. TRS measurements were continuously performed for about 20 minutes including 2 minutes hyper ventilation. It was observed that the total hemoglobin concentration was decreasing during the hyper ventilation and recovered until 2 minutes after hyper ventilation. On the other hand, the deoxy-hemoglobin concentration began to increase after hyper ventilation and had its peak at around 2 minute later, showing 502 drop from 75% to 60% due to inhibition of breathing by performing hyper ventilation. The results showed that this system might be able to quantitate the concentrations of oxy- and deoxy-hemoglobin in the human brain.

This paper introduces a preliminary work for the design of a mini-dish cluster system for power general ion. Each mini-dish (typically has a 20 to 30cm in diameter) is designed with a simple parabolic profile, concentrating sun light (after the glass glazing cover to avoid dust deposition on the reflector and facilitate cleaning) onto a centrally located small plane(or concave) mirror which is placed on the bottom side of the transparent glass cover. The mirror with a mini-dish concentrator is designed to focus beam radiation onto a focal point before it enters a bundle of optical fibers connected to a remote receiver for power generation different options are considered In designing a mini-dish concentrator to maximize its effectiveness for the collection and use of solar energy.

We propose a precise 3D endoscopic technique for medical and industrial applications. As the 3D measuring principle, the continuously scanning structured illumination microscopy (CSSIM), which enables to obtain 3D sectional images by the synchronous axial scanning of the target with the lateral scanning of the sinusoidal pattern, is adopted. In order to reduce the size of the probe end, the illumination and detection paths of light are designed as coaxial and a coherent imaging fiber bundle is used for transferring the illumination pattern to the target and vice versa. We constructed and experimentally verified the proposed system with a gauge block specimen. As the result, it was confirmed that the 3D surface profile was successfully measured with $16.1{\mu}m$ repeatability for a gauge block specimen. In order to improve the contrast of the sinusoidal illumination pattern reflected off on the target, we used polarizing optical components and confirmed that the visibility of the pattern was suitable in CSSIM.

We developed a parabolic reflector based daylighting system which can be used as an alternative indoor daytime lighting device such as for fluorescent lamps. The system comprises three main components : a daylight concentrator made of 4 pairs of parabolic reflectors and mirrors, a silica optical fiber bundle based light transmitter, and 4 light diffusers for the final indoor delivery of the collected daylight. We analyzed the performance of the system and revealed the system efficiency and daylighting factor. All test methods follow the rule, NR PV601 : 2007-daylighting system, governed by Korea Energy Management Corporation.

In situ stress changes at interfaces of ultrathin magnetic films were measured by means of a non-contact optical fiber bundle displacement detector. A bending of the substrate due to stress of a deposited film was detected in cantilever geometry. The highest sensitivity of 134 mV/$\mu$m for the displacement detector was realized with a help of computer simulation. The detector was applied to in situ stress measurements of Co/Pt and Ni/Pd magnetic multilayer films prepared on the glass substrates by dc magnetron sputtering. The detector turned out to have a submonolayer sensitivity that enables to observe coherent-to-incoherent transition in these mismatched multilayers and even detect the stress changes within the monoatomic coverage. This highly sensitive detector paves new way to probe the stress relaxation at an interface in ultrathin films.
