급격한 과도하중이나 충격 등에 의해서 발생만 복합적층 내부의 손상은 항공기 구조물과 같이 안전성이 중요시되는 구조의 신뢰성을 저하시키며 또한 큰 위험 요인이 될 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 구조의 건전성을 모니터링하고 파손여부를 실시간으로 감지하기 위해 단파장 레이저와 광대역광원을 동시에 적용한 광섬유 센서를 이용하여 변형률 및 파손을 실시간으로 동시에 모니터링 할 수 있는 시스템을 구성하였다 이때 서로 다른 파장대의 두 장원은 파장분할다중 송신기를 이용하여 하나의 광섬유 센서에 적용되었다 파손신호의 특징을 정량적으로 구분하기 위해 STFT와 Wavelet Transform 과 같은 시간 주파수 분석법을 사용하였으며, 광섬유 센서로 취득 긴 파손신호 및 변형률 측정값을 각각 압전 세라믹 센서와 스트레인게이지의 값과 서로로 비교하였다. 장시간동안 파손과 동시에 측정된 변형률의 값은 스트레인게이지의 측정값과 잘 일치하였으며 파손감지 시스템 또만 미세한 파손신호까지 민감하게 감지해 낼 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Accelerometers play a key role in the structural assessment. However, the current electric type accelerometers have certain limitations to apply some structures such as heavy cabling labor, installed sea structure and sensitivity to electromagnetic fields. An optical Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) accelerometer has many advantages over conventional electrical sensors since their immunity to electromagnetic interference and their capability to transmit signals over long distance without any additional amplifiers, and there is no corrosion from sea water. In this paper, we have developed a new FBG-based accelerometer. The accelerometer consists of two cantilevered type beams and a mass and two rollers. A bragg grating element is not directly glued to a cantilever to avoid possible non-uniform strain in the element. Instead, the bragg grating element will be attached to rotation part that rolled inducing vertical movement of the mass and support cantilever beams so that the bragg grating element is uniformly tensioned to achieve a constant strain distribution. After manufacturing, we will prove the performance and the natural frequency of the accelerometer through the experiment with a vibration shaker. The FBG-based accelerometer is developed for measuring the vibration not exceeding 50 Hz for the marine and civil structures.

A fluorometric detection technique for HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) and LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) was developed for application in a fiber-optic immunosensor using a protein A Langmuir-Blodgget (LB) film. For the fluorescence immunoassay, antibodies specific to HDL or LDL were imobilied on the protein A LB film, and a fluorescence amplification method was developed to overcome their weak fluorescence. The deposition of protein A using the LB technique was monitored using a surface pressure-are $({\pi}-A)$ curve, and the antibody immobilization of the protein A LB film was experimentally verified. The immobilized antibody was used to separate only HDL and LDL from a sample, then the fluorescence of he separated HDL or LDL was amplified. The amount of LDL or HDL was measured using the developed fiber optic fluorescence detection system. The optical properties resulting from the reaction of HDL or LDL with o-phtaldialdehyde, detection range, response time, and stability of the immunoassay were all investigated. The respective detection ranges for HDL and LDL were sufficient to diagnose the risk of coronary heart disease. The amplification step increased the sensitivity, while selective separation using the immobilized antibody led to linearity in the sensor signal. The regeneration of the antibody-immobilized substrate could produce a stable and reproducible immunosensor.

The microcantilever (MCL) sensor is one of the most promising platforms for next-generation label-free biosensing applications. It outperforms conventional label-free detection methods in terms of portability and parallelization. In this paper, an overview of recent advances in our understanding of the coupling between biomolecular interactions and MCL responses is given. A dual compact optical MCL sensing platform was built to enable biosensing experiments both in gas-phase environments and in solutions. The thermal bimorph effect was found to be an effective nanomanipulator for the MCL platform calibration. The study of the alkanethiol self-assembly monolayer (SAM) chain length effect revealed that 1-octanethiol ($C_8H_{17}SH$) induced a larger deflection than that from 1-dodecanethiol ($C_{12}H_{25}SH$) in solutions. Using the clinically relevant biomarker C-reactive protein (CRP), we revealed that the analytical sensitivity of the MCL reached a diagnostic level of $1{\sim}500{\mu}g/ml$ within a 7% coefficient of variation. Using grazing incident x-ray diffractometer (GIXRD) analysis, we found that the gold surface was dominated by the (111) crystalline plane. Moreover, using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis, we confirmed that the Au-S covalent bonds occurred in SAM adsorption whereas CRP molecular bindings occurred in protein analysis. First principles density functional theory (DFT) simulations were also used to examine biomolecular adsorption mechanisms. Multiscale modeling was then developed to connect the interactions at the molecular level with the MCL mechanical response. The alkanethiol SAM chain length effect in air was successfully predicted using the multiscale scheme.

Purpose: Phosphorus is an essential element for water quality control. Excessive amounts of phosphorus causes algal bloom in water, which leads to eutrophication and a decline in water quality. It is necessary to maintain the optimum amount of phosphorus present. During the last decades, various studies have been conducted to determine phosphorus content in water. In this study, we present a comprehensive overview of colorimetric, electrochemical, fluorescence, microfluidic, and remote sensing technologies for the measurement of phosphorus in water, along with their working principles and limitations. Results: The colorimetric techniques determine the concentration of phosphorus through the use of color-generating reagents. This is specific to a single chemical species and inexpensive to use. The electrochemical techniques operate by using a reaction of the analyte of interest to generate an electrical signal that is proportional to the sample analyte concentration. They show a good linear output, good repeatability, and a high detection capacity. The fluorescence technique is a kind of spectroscopic analysis method. The particles in the sample are excited by irradiation at a specific wavelength, emitting radiation of a different wavelength. It is possible to use this for quantitative and qualitative analysis of the target analyte. The microfluidic techniques incorporate several features to control chemical reactions in a micro device of low sample volume and reagent consumption. They are cheap and rapid methods for the detection of phosphorus in water. The remote sensing technique analyzes the sample for the target analyte using an optical technique, but without direct contact. It can cover a wider area than the other techniques mentioned in this review. Conclusion: It is concluded that the sensing technologies reviewed in this study are promising for rapid detection of phosphorus in water. The measurement range and sensitivity of the sensors have been greatly improved recently.

The viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) has an extensive host range, and infects farmed and wild fish inhabiting both freshwater and marine ecosystems. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is highly useful in diagnosing viral hemorrhagic septicemia. However, ELISA shows high, non-specific background reaction with fish antibodies. In this study, we optimized the antigen and antibody concentrations used for detecting specific antibodies in VHSV-infected olive flounder to reduce non-specific binding, and improve the sensitivity of ELISA. The results suggested that OD (optical Density) values were valid when ELISA was performed with $0.1{\mu}g/well$ of virus, involving blocking with blocking buffer (Roth, Roti-Block), 1:300-1:600 dilution with flounder antisera, and 1:1000 dilution with anti-flounder IgM and HRP-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG for detecting the VHSV antibody in flounder sera. Furthermore, 11 different VHSV strains isolated in Korea from 2012 to 2016 were used to infect the fish. The results showed no correlation between viral pathogenicity and antibody production. This research is a basic study on the application of antibody detection in the diagnosis of viral hemorrhagic septicemia in the olive flounder.

Considering the number of chemosensors that have been developed for the sensing of metal ions, only a few chemosensors for fluoride anion have been described in the literature that are based on fluorescent or chromogenic responses. We performed colorimetric anion sensing based on the binding of anion analytes with hydrogen donor group in polymer backbone resulting in naked-eye color change and fluorescent quenching. Our challenges using hydrogen donor moiety was designed effectively are continuing in order for high selectivity and sensitivity for ultimate applications such as fluid solution sensing in biomolecules and gas vapor sensing.

본 연구의 목적은 감성조명용 조명기기의 조도 및 색온도 표현능력을 극대화할 수 있는 최적의 광원조합을 효율적으로 제어할 수 있는 제어장치를 개발하는데 있다. 실내조명으로 사용할 수 있는 다양한 색온도에 대하여 사람이 편안함을 느끼는 조도영역을 찾아내고 이를 조합함으로서 감성조명을 실현할 수 있다. 이를 위하여 감성조명용 조명기기는 2000K와 8000K의 서로 다른 색온도를 가지는 형광램프로 구성하였으며 각각의 형광램프의 수량을 변화시키며 조명기기의 조도 및 색온도 표현능력을 광학 시뮬레이션을 통하여 평가하였다. 사용자가 원하는 조명환경을 휴식, 대화, 모임, 손님접대, 예술 등의 5가지로 구분하여 적외선 리모콘으로 수신단에 전송하면 수신단에서 PC0~PC4 병렬포트를 통해서 사용자가 선택한 모드에 맞는 DC전압을 출력한다. DC전압이 EEFL 인버터에 입력되고 입력된 DC전압 레벨에 따라 EEFL의 dimming 값이 변하면서 사용자가 원하는 조명환경(조도 및 색온도)를 만들고 인체감지센서를 사용하여 사람이 없을 경우에는 EEFL을 자동으로 꺼지도록 함으로써 소비전력을 절약할 수 있도록 개발하였다.
