Functional photoacoustic tomography is a new non-invasive imaging modality, and it is emerging as a very practical method for imaging biological tissue structures by means of laser-induced ultrasound. Structures with high optical absorption, such as blood vessels, can be imaged with the spatial resolution of ultrasound, which is not limited by the strong light scattering in biological tissues. By varying wavelengths of the laser light and acquiring photoacoustic images, optical absorption spectrum of each image pixel is found. Since the biochemical constituents of tissues determine the spectrum, useful functional information like oxygen saturation ($SO_2$) and total haemoglobin concentration (HbT) can be extracted. In this study, as a proof-of-principle experiment, hypoxic brain tumor vasculature and traumatic brain injury (TBI) of small animal brain are imaged with functional photoacoustic tomography. High resolution brain vasculature images of oxygen saturation and total hemoglobin concentration are provided to visualize hypoxic tumor vasculature, and hemorrhage on the cortex surface by the TBI.

This paper presents a theoretical study of transmission performance for an optical duobinary transmitter employed a Mach-Zehnder modulator and a electrical low pass filter at 40Gbps optical communication links. It depends on the bandwidth of the low pass filter in the transmitter, the optical filter and the filter in the receiver. Also, each filter affected to the various parts of the optical power spectrum. By optimizing the bandwidth of each filter, we could control the side robes and the ripples and improve the dispersion tolerance of the transmission system.

중적외선 분광학(mid-IR spectrocopy) 에서는 2.5～15 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 의 파장을 갖는 적외선을 시료에 조사하여 absorption spectrum 을 측정하는데 이 대역은 주로 분자들의 fundamental band 가 나타나는 영역으로 각 분자의 characteristic absorption band 가 비교적 깨끗하게 분리되어 있어 특정 compound 의 존재 유무를 확인하는데 쓰여 왔다. 그러나 보통의 경우에 시료에는 한 가지 화합물만이 존재하는 것이 아니고 여러 가지 화합물이 섞여 있는 경우가 많다.

In this paper, we propose a new opto-digital object recognition system which has rotation, scale, and shift invariant characteristics. The fourier power spectrum of the object image is modified to get shift invariance. The log-polar transform is used for rotation and scale invariance. And the decision of similarities is performed by nonlinear joint transform correlator (NJTC) that can control the ratio of phase and amplitude signals. Experimental verification of th eproposed optical object recognition system is presented.

This work presents a theoretical study on the analytical calculation of the lineshape of polarization spectroscopy (PS) for the transition line $5s^2\;^1S_0{\rightarrow}5s5p\;^1P_1$ of $^{88}Sr$. From the obtained analytical form of the PS spectrum, we were able to identify how the saturation affected the lineshape of the PS spectrum. The results obtained will be useful for polarization spectroscopy experiments using the alkaline-earth atoms such as Sr or Yb.

We measured the linewidth (FWHM) changes of the PQR laser against the diameter of the devices and the injection currents. We report the linewidth narrowing with increasing the PQR currents. A rough estimate of the line width behavior shows an inverse proportionality to the cavity length. The spectrum of $\frac{3}{4}$ circle cavity PQR laser is reported for the first time as well. The spectrum looks slightly different from that of the full circle device due to the structural distortion.

The laser magnetic resonance (LMR) which makes use of paramagnetic properties of transient species is a powerful technique for the study of molecular radical ions. A liquid nitrogen cooled cw CO laser is developed for the LMR spectrometer in the mid-infrared region of the spectrum. The laser mid-infrared region of the spectrum. The laser system is designed to allow broad-band operation from 5 to 8${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The design details will be presented.

Large area infrared surveys are often accompanied with follow-up optical spectroscopic surveys that has a significant legacy value even for other areas of research. Using these spectral database, we have performed a search for MgII absorption lines in the optical spectrum of background quasar. Over the ~4deg2 of AKARI North Ecliptic Pole survey field and Spitzer First Look Survey field, 18 and 16 MgII absorber systems are identified respectively. The redshift range for the background quasars was 1.0<$z_{qso}$<3.4, while the redshift range for the absorber was 0.6<$z_{abs}$<1.6. Galaxies responsible for MgII absorptions are identified in the deep optical images (CFHT r-band), yet the identification still remains ambiguous for 60% of the systems due to the limited image depth and the source crowdedness. The impact parameter ranges 20-60kpc, and the rest-frame equivalent width of MgII absorption ranges $0.7-4{\AA}$. The most critical part in the identification of MgII absorber galaxies is the existence of deep optical images in addition to the high S/N quasar spectrum with R>3000.

After the vibration source is searched in optical disk drive as an information storage device broadly used the influence of it against FES(Focusing Error Signal) which is a kind of positioning error of pick up from the circuit is carefully examined. For that Purpose, partial coherence function method is applied on a simple multi-degree of freedom model made for the theoretical verification and it is practically introduced in optical disk drive for analyzing the effect of vibration source. Finally, partial coherence output spectrum is attentively observed in order to know which vibration source is a great influence on FES.

Presently, it is now developing the optical remote gas sensor system which can measure combustible gases such as $CH_4$ and $C_2H_2$ generating by partial discharges inside the cable and connection parts to detect thermal deterioration of Oil-Filled (OF) power cable at the appropriate time. It is the most important parameter to select central wavelength of laser diode (LD) by analyzing the absorption bend of measuring gases in the infrared region. In this research, we proposed the optical spectrum analyzer to absorption band of $CH_4$ and $C_2H_2$ for the preliminary research of optical fiber gas detecting system.
