In this paper, a smart optical fingerprint sensor technology that is robust against faked fingerprints. A new lens and prism accurately detect fingerprint ridges and valleys that are needed to express a fingerprint's intrinsic characteristics well. The proposed technology includes light path configuration and an optical fingerprint sensor that can effectively identify faked fingerprint features. Results of simulation show the smart optical fingerprint sensor classifies the characteristics of faked fingerprints made from silicone, gelatin, paper, and rubber, and show that the proposed technology has superior detection performance with faked fingerprints, compared to the existing infrared discrimination method.

We describe the architecture of an optical cross-connect (OXC) which is modular in structure and is able to be upgraded to a virtual wavelength path by adding wavelength converters. The additional feature of the OXC is the all-optical nature. It can be implemented with commercial components including mechanical optical switches. As a result of the test on the experimental OXC, it has been shown that 2.5 Gb/s signal can be transmitted via the OXC through 100 km length o an ordinary single mode fiber with 3 dB penalty.

This paper reviews the recent trends in optical access technologies and their future directions. As the number of hyper-connected, ultra-low-latency, and hyper-realistic services increases, the wireless path has become shorter and the optical access network has become deeply penetrated into the end user. The optical access network continues to evolve through endless innovation via high-speed, ultra-low-latency, and abstraction/virtualization technologies.

Bow-tie modes were proposed in a grooved rectangular resonator and their lasing characteristics were investigated in semiconductor microcavities. The observed spacing between two adjacent lasing peaks from the grooved cavity was reduced compared to that of 4-bounce whispering gallery modes (WGMs) from the same-sized simple rectangular cavity due to increased round-trip path length of the bow-tie modes. The lasing spectra of bow-tie modes obtained from two adjacent corners showed highly correlated patterns while those of 4-bounce WGMs did not.

This thesis deals with study and implementation of a cross-coupling controller which can enhance the path-tracking performance of optically guided AGV(Automated Guided Vehicle). The AGV in this thesis is differential drive type and has front-side and rear-side optical sensors, which can identify the guiding path. When AGV from the path due to the inevitable error and the deviation must be corrected. It has been shown that compensation only the first term can lead to undesirable oscillatory results and even instability but compensating only the second term leads to a steady state offset error. Cross-coupling control directly minimizes the error by coordinating the motion of the two drive wheels. The cross-coupling controller is analyzed to evaluate its performance. The cross-coupling controller enhances transient performance of the controller is demonstrated by simulation and is compared with that of individual loop controller.

In recent years, multicast services such as high-definition television (HDTV), video conferencing, interactive distance learning, and distributed games have increased exponentially, and wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) networks are considered to be a promising technology due to their support for multicast applications. Multicast survivability in WDM networks has been the focus of extensive attention since a single-link failure in an optical network may result in a massive loss of data. But the improvement of network survivability increases energy consumption due to more resource allocation for protection. In this paper, an energy-efficient multicast algorithm (EEMA) is proposed to reduce energy consumption in WDM networks. Two cost functions are defined based on the link state to determine both working and protection paths for a multicast request in WDM networks. To increase the number of sleeping links, the link cost function of the working path aims to integrate new working path into the links with more working paths. Sleeping links indicate the links in sleep mode, which do not have any working path. To increase bandwidth utilization by sharing spare capacity, the cost function of the protection path is defined to use sleeping fibers for establishing new protection paths. Finally, the performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated in terms of energy consumption, and also the blocking probability is evaluated under various traffic environments through OPNET. Simulation results show that our algorithm reduces energy consumption while maintaining the quality of service.

This paper proposes a path planning algorithm to reduce the inspection time of AOI (Automatic Optical Inspection) machines for SMT (Surface Mount Technology) in-line system. Since the field-of-view of the camera attached at the machine is much less than the entire inspection region of board, the inspection region should be clustered to many groups. The image acquisition time depends on the number of groups, and camera moving time depends on the sequence of visiting the groups. The acquired image is processed while the camera moves to the next position, but it may be delayed if the group includes many components to be inspected. The inspection delay has influence on the overall job time of the machine. In this paper, we newly considers the inspection delay time for path planning of the inspection machine. The unified approach using genetic algorithm is applied to generates the groups and visiting sequence simultaneously. The chromosome, crossover operator, and mutation operator is proposed to develop the genetic algorithm. The experimental results are presented to verify the usefulness of the proposed method.

The use of the A' for the path search of the agent in the game map give the overhead of computing time in real time game processing. The other heuristic search algorithms do not guarantee the optical path. The route table of which the row is defined by current position, goal position, visiting position is presented in this paper. This route table is made in the game development phase and tilized in game playing. The visiting position which is contatined in the optimal path to the goal position from the current position can guarantee the optical path, and this mothod has no overhead on computing time. But the memory space is requred too much. This problem can also be solved using the data compression by skipping the duplicated route table.

This paper presents a path control method for mobile robot using neural network and a systematic method for the kinematic and dynamic modelling of a mobile robot. The robot finds its path deviation by taking the signals of an optical array sensor and determined its moving behaviors using neural net control method. A robot can be taught behaviors by changing the given patterns, in this work, Back Propagation rule is used as a learning method.

DOAS (Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy) System은 대기 중에 존재하는 기준물질들이 특정 파장영역에서 빛을 흡수하는 원리를 이용하고 있다. 현재 독일을 중심으로 한 유럽과 선진국에서는 대기 환경 기준물질의 모니터링 기술들이 주로 광 투과방식을 이용한 Open path의 모니터링 기술들을 개발하고 있다. 기존의 측정 방법과 Open Path 모니터링의 기법을 비교 할 때 Open path 시스템은 실시간 측정 및 분석이 가능하므로 기존의 화학적 측정방법에서 제기되어져왔던 화학 반응시의 방해 물질의 간섭제거 및 시간 분해도 향상등에 큰 장점이 있다.
