We have fabricated a planar lightwave circuit (PLC) hybrid-integrated optical sub-assembly of a triplexer using a thin film filter (TFF)-attached wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) and photodiode (PD) carriers. Two types of TFFs were attached to a diced side of a silica-terraced PLC platform, and the PD carriers with a $45^{\circ}$ mirror on which pin-PDs were bonded were assembled with the platform. A clear transmitter eye-pattern and minimum receiver sensitivity of -24.5 dBm were obtained under 1.25 Gb/s operation for digital applications, and a second-order inter-modulation distortion (IMD2) of -70 dBc was achieved for an analog receiver.

We have developed a high-performance signal-processing and image-rendering heterogeneous computation system for optical coherence tomography (OCT) on mobile processor. In this paper, we reveal it by demonstrating real-time OCT image processing using a Snapdragon 800 mobile processor, with the introduction of a heterogeneous image visualization architecture (HIVA) to accelerate the signal-processing and image-visualization procedures. HIVA has been designed to maximize the computational performances of a mobile processor by using a native language compiler, which targets mobile processor, to directly access mobile-processor computing resources and the open computing language (OpenCL) for heterogeneous computation. The developed mobile image processing platform requires only 25 ms to produce an OCT image from $512{\times}1024$ OCT data. This is 617 times faster than the naïve approach without HIVA, which requires more than 15 s. The developed platform can produce 40 OCT images per second, to facilitate real-time mobile OCT image visualization. We believe this study would facilitate the development of portable diagnostic image visualization with medical imaging modality, which requires computationally expensive procedures, using a mobile processor.

본 논문에서는 화학적 감지 및 바이오 감지를 위한 새로운 플랫폼을 제시하였다. 작동 원리는 광 방향성 결합기(DC)와 다중 모드 간섭 결합기 (MMI)의 결합효율과 간섭특성에 기반한다. 또한, 실리콘 기판에 통합할 수 있도록 평면 기술을 사용하여 실현하였다. 먼저, DC와 MMIC의 분산곡선을 설명하고, 도파관 감도를 증가시키기 위한 최적화된 슬롯 광 도파관의 설계 사양을 선택하였다. 다음으로, 감지 분석물의 굴절률 변화에 대한 센서 응답을 수치해석 하였다. 수치해석 결과, 분석 물질의 굴절률 단위 (RIU) 변화당 높은 유효 지수 변화가 얻어졌으며, 그 감도는 DC 및 MMIC 설계 기법을 사용하여 조정할 수 있음을 보여주었다.

A novel method to measure the scale factor for the all-optical atomic spin inertial measurement device (ASIMD) is demonstrated in this paper. The method can realize the calibration of the scale factor by a self-consistent method with small errors in the quiescent state. At first, the matured IMU (inertial measurement unit) device was fixed on an optical platform together with the ASIMD, and it has been used to calibrate the scale factor for the ASIMD. The results show that there were some errors causing the inaccuracy of the experiment. By the comparative analysis of theory and experiment, the ASIMD was unable to keep pace with the IMU. Considering the characteristics of the ASIMD, the mismatch between the driven frequency of the optical platform and the bandwidth of the ASIMD was the major reason. An all-optical atomic spin magnetometer was set up at first. The sensitivity of the magnetometer is ultra-high, and it can be used to detect the magnetization of spin-polarized noble gas. The gyromagnetic ratio of the noble gas is a physical constant, and it has already been measured accurately. So a novel calibration method for scale factor based on the gyromagnetic ratio has been presented. The relevant theoretical analysis and experiments have been implemented. The results showed that the scale factor of the device was $7.272V/^{\circ}/s$ by multi-group experiments with the maximum error value 0.49%.

A novel optical hybrid device that doubles the multilevel demodulation resolution by adding the optical interferometer with a waveguide crossover is proposed, theoretically analyzed and experimentally verified. We report two types of all-passive phase control schemes that will be referred to as a phase compensation scheme and a phase optimization scheme. We also apply the proposed phase control schemes to a 45° optical hybrid consisting of two parallel 90° optical hybrids together with the proposed phase control scheme for demodulating 8-level differential phase shift keying optical signals. Octagonal phase response with low wavelength sensitive excess loss of <0.8 dB over 31-nm-wide spectral range will be demonstrated in the InP-based material platform.

In this study, a real-time surveillance system using Internet of Things technology is proposed for vaccine cold chains. This system fully visualizes vaccine transport and storage. It comprises a 4G gateway module, lowpower and low-cost wireless temperature and humidity collection module (WTHCM), cloud service software platform, and phone app. The WTHCM is installed in freezers or truck-mounted cold chain cabinets to collect the temperature and humidity information of the vaccine storage environment. It then transmits the collected data to a gateway module in the radiofrequency_physical layer (RF_PHY). The RF_PHY is an interface for calling the bottom 2.4-GHz transceiver, which can realize a more flexible communication mode. The gateway module can simultaneously receive data from multiple acquisition terminals, process the received data depending on the protocol, and transmit the collated data to the cloud server platform via 4G or Wi-Fi. The cloud server platform primarily provides data storage, chart views, short-message warnings, and other functions. The phone app is designed to help users view and print temperature and humidity data concerning the transportation and storage of vaccines anytime and anywhere. Thus, this system provides a new vaccine management model for ensuring the safety and reliability of vaccines to a greater extent.

본 논문은 강성 요구조건과 열지향오차 요구조건을 만족하는 지구관측위성의 블레이드형 광학탑재체 지지구조물 개발에 대한 연구이다. 먼저 형상 요구조건을 만족하는 광학탑재체 지지구조물을 설계하였으나, 강성 요구조건을 만족하지 못하여 광학탑재체 지지구조물의 외부와 내부에 보강재를 추가하여 이를 해결하였다. 그러나, 열지향오차 요구조건을 만족시키지 못하여, 플랫폼 지지 구조물을 플래폼 상/하단에 모두 장착한 대칭형 구조로 설계하였다. 이 경우 이전 모델에 비해서 열지향오차가 많이 줄어들기는 하였지만 역시 열지향오차 요구조건을 만족시키지는 못하였다. 이전 설계 결과를 바탕으로 측면형 플랫폼 지지 구조물을 설계하여 강성요구조건 및 열지향오차 요구조건을 만족하는 광학탑재체 지지구조물을 최종적으로 설계하였다. 본 설계를 통해서 다음의 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 강성측면에서는 플랫폼의 면재 두께 증가나 보강재 추가 그리고 블레이드의 개수를 늘려서 강성을 증가시킬 수 있었다. 열지향오차측면에서는 가능한 같은 재료를 가진 구성품들을 서로 결합시키고, 광학탑재체 지지구조물을 대칭형 구조물로 설계함으로써 열지향오차를 감소시킬 수 있었다.

Increasing demands on the safety of public train services have led to the development of various types of security monitoring systems. Most of the surveillance systems are focused on the estimation of crowd level in the platform, thereby yielding too many false alarms. In this paper, we present a novel security monitoring system to detect critically dangerous situations such as when a passenger falls from the station platform, or when a passenger walks on the rail tracks. The method is composed of two stages of detecting dangerous situations. Objects falling over to the dangerous zone are detected by motion tracking. 3D depth information retrieved by the stereo vision is used to confirm fallen events. Experimental results show that virtually no error of either false positive or false negative is found while providing highly reliable detection performance. Since stereo matching is performed on a local image only when potentially dangerous situations are found; real-time operation is feasible without using dedicated hardware.

Laser micromachining has increasingly been adopted in various advanced industries where the high-precision machining of large-area, high-density and multi-layered components is in a strong demand. To effectively meet the requirements, the laser micromachining process must be carefully monitored. In order to facilitate the development of a new laser micromachining process and/or a new system, we have fabricated a UV laser micromachining platform that is equipped with optical modules for monitoring the process online. They include a laser power stabilizing module, a module for laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, and an auto-focusing module.
