The X-ray detector by liquid crystal with front light was proposed and verified by a X-ray image. The proposed detector utilizes the visible light instead of the electric signal by transistor. Therefore, it shows low noise and can be fabricated at low cost. The liquid crystal detector uses the orientation change of the liquid crystal molecule by conductivity change of the photoconductive layer. We can get the X-ray image from the transmitted light through the liquid crystal. The X-ray dose was calibrated from the measured transmittance of the visible light after comparison to the reference transmittance curve of the liquid crystal. The amorphous Se was used for photo con ducting layer and parylene was used for the liquid crystal alignment instead of the conventional alignment layer which needs high-temperature process over 200℃. The proposed X-ray detector can decrease the X-ray dose by high sensitivity which was verified by simulation. After the fabrication of the X-ray detector, the X-ray image was obtained as a function of the bias voltage to the liquid crystal. 10 lines/mm resolution was obtained from the line pattern and we will apply it to the 17inch diagonal liquid crystal X-ray detector with 3π retardation.

실제 실험에 사용한 대표적인 InAs/GaAs QUDIP에 대해서 detector를 평가하는데 사용하는 responsitity D*뿐만 아니라 이두 값을 좌우하는 phottoconductive gain 양자효율 noise current에 대해 정량적으로 살펴보고 QWIP와 비교해보았다 우선 가장 중요한 것은 QDIP의 온도가 약 10K에서 거의 200K까지 올라가도 responsivity와 D* 모두 온도에 따라 민감하게감소하지 않는다는 사실이다(거의 10배 정도만 감소했음). 이러한 측정결과는 QDIP의 가장 큰 장점인 실온 동작 가능성이 아주 높음을 확인시켜 준다. 참고로, 이미 사용되고 있는 QWIP나 MCT detector는 낮은 온도 영역에서도 온도가 증가함에 따라 responsivity와 D*가 민감하게 감소해서 77K 이상에서는 동작하지 않는다. 두번째로, QWIP는 시료의 표면에 수직 입사되는 IR에 반응하지 않는데, QDIP는 시료의 표면에 수직 입사되는 IR에도 잘 반응함을 확인하였다. 이러한 두 가지 특성은 QDIP가 가질 것이라고 예상되던 QDIP의 가장 큰 장점으로, QDIP가 mid IR이나 far IR detector로서의 전망이 아주 밝음을 보여준다. 저온에서 QDIP의 responsivity는 수 A/W 로, 보통의 QWIP의 responsivity가 수십 mA/W인 것을 고려할 때, 충분히 큰 값이었다. QDIP의 responsivity가 이렇게 큰 이유는 photo-conductive gain이 1000 이상으로 매우 컸기 때문이었다. 반면에, 양자효율은 0.01% 이하로 아주 작았는데, 이것은 흡수 계수 자체보다는 흡수 두께가 작기 때문인 것 같고, 따라서 QDIP의 주기 수를 늘릴 필요가 있음을 알았다. Detector를 평가하는데 가장 중요한 것은 responsivity보다는 D*인데, photoconductive gain과 양자효율의 곱에 비례하는 responsivity는 $\sim$A/W로 충분히 컸지만, 반면에 D*는 $\sim$2E8으로 QWIP에 비해 작았다. 이것은 noise current가 컸기 때문이며 이를 줄이는 것이 중요하다. Noise current의 주된 요인이 dark current에 비례하는 g-r noise이므로, dark current를 줄이는 구조가 필요하다. 대표적인 예가 AlGaAs 같은 additional barrier를 넣어 dark current를 줄이는 방법이다. QDIP의 주기 수를 늘리는 것도 dark current를 줄이는 데 도움이 될 것이다.

Ozone monitor based on UV techniques has been widely used due to their signal stability. The high concentration ozone monitor for real time ozone monitoring from ozone generator was composed of a low pressure mercury lamp as UV source and a photo multiplier tube as UV detector. The structure could be very useful for low price high concentration ozone monitor and showed good linearity to ozone in the concentration range between 0.05 and 2wt%. For accurate ambient ozone monitoring, the system composed of a high power pulsed xenon lamp as UV source, an optical spectrometer with a high sensitivity linear CCD array as UV detector. The optical signal form the CCD array was converted to digital signal, and the digital signal was displayed on screen using PC interface. The developed system showed good linearity and sensitivity in relatively low measuring range between 10ppm and 10,000ppm, and showed some feasibility of hish resolution ozone monitor using CCD array as a photodetecor.

In this study, water content in the mixture of methanol and ethanol was nondestructively measured by near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. Two types of NIR instruments, portable NIR system with a photo-diode array and scanning type NIR spectrometer were used and the calibration results were compared. Partial least squares regression (PLSR) was applied for the calibration and validation for the quantitative analysis. The calibration results from both instruments showed good correlation with actual values. The calibration with the use of PLS model predicted water concentration with a standard error of prediction (SEP) of 0.10% and 0.12% for photo diode array and scanning type, respectively. During 6 days, routine analyses for 3%, 5% and 7% water in ethanol solution with 2% methanol were performed to validate the robustness of the developed calibration model. The routine analyses showed good results with coefficient of variation (CV) of within 3% for both types of NIR spectrometers. This study showed that the rapid determination of water in the mixture of methanol and ethanol was successfully performed by NIR spectroscopy and the performance of the portable NIR system with a photo diode array detector was comparable to that of the scanning type NIR spectrometer.

In this paper, we present surface-to-underwater visible light communication systems using white LEDs. Pulse position modulation (PPM)-based analogue data communications and on-off keying-based digital data communications systems are developed. Inexpensive and commercial power-LEDs and photo-diodes are used to construct two types of systems. We report the experimental results obtained from the prototype systems to show the possibility of an optical underwater visible light transceiver as a basis for short range underwater wireless network. Their performance deteriorates more than the atmosphere's one because of attenuation and scattering of the light in water, but these results are promising for the potential to create more robust network interface that improve medium performance such as a LED modulation and a photo-detector demodulation.

In this paper, we describe the method of non-invasive blood pressure measurement using pulse wave transit time(PWTT). PWTT is a new parameter involved with a vascular that can indicate the change of BP. PWTT is measured by continuous monitoring of ECG and pulse wave. No additional sensors or modules are required. In many cases, the change of PWTT correlates with the change of BP. We measure pulse wave using the photo plethysmograph(PPG) sensor in an earlobe and we measure ECG using the ECG monitoring device our made in the chest. The measurement device for detecting pulse wave consists of infrared LED for transmitted light illumination, pin photodiode as light detector, amplifier and filter. We composed 0.5Hz high pass, 60Hz notch and 10Hz low pass filter. ECG measurement device consists of multiplexer, amplifier, filter, micro-controller and RF module. After amplification and filtering, ECG signal and pulse wave is fed through micro-controller. We performed the initial work towards the development of ambulatory BP monitoring system using PWTT. An earlobe is suitable place to measure PPG signal without the restraint in daily work. From the results, we can know that the dependence of PWTT on BP is almost linear and it is possible to monitoring an individual BP continuously after the individual calibration.

Signal detection technologies such as fluorescence, charge and electrochemical detection used in the monolithic capillary electrophoresis system to convert the biochemical reaction into the electrical signal. The fluorescence detection using photodiodes that measure fluorescence emitted from eluting molecules is widely used for the monolithic capillary electrophoresis system. In this paper, in order to fabricate a photosensor has the increased sensitivity, we investigated on the sensitivity of general type and p-i-n type diode. The p-i-n diode has higher sensitivity than photodiode. Considering these results, we fabricated p-i-n diodes on the high resistive$(4k{\Omega}{\cdot}cm)$ wafer into rectangle and finger pattern and compared internal resistance of each pattern. The internal resistance of p-i-n diode can be decreased by the application of finger pattern has parallel resistance structure from $571{\Omega}$ to $393{\Omega}$.

알루미나볼 위에 Titanium tetraisopropoxide(TTIP)를 원료로, 화학기상증착법으로 제조된 $TiO_{2}/Al_{2}O_{3}$ 볼을 이용하여 벤젠의 기상 광 분해 실험을 실시하였다. 기상분해 과정의 연속적 측정을 위하여 순환식의 반응장치를 자체 제작하였으며, PID(Photo Ionization Detector)방식의 VOCs meter를 이용하여 광조사에 의한 벤젠의 분해율을 실시간으로 측정하였다. 기상의 벤젠과 $TiO_2/Al_{2}O_{3}$ 볼의 원활한 흡착을 위해 30분간 암반응 시킨 후 광분해율을 측정한 결과 광조사에 의한 분말표면에 흡착된 VOCs의 탈착에 의한 초기 농도증가 현상이 공통적으로 측정되었으며, 흡착 면적이 작을수록 농도 증가 또한 낮게 측정되었다. 또한 최적조건을 기준으로 실시한 분해 실험 결과 60ppm이상의 고농도 영역에서는 VOCs의 분해가 비교적 느리게 진행되었지만, 60ppm이하의 저농도 영역에서는 급속한 VOCs의 분해가 측정되었다. 마찬가지로 반응 표면적이 넓을수록, 광원이 많을수록 그리고 광분해에 사용된 자외선 램프의 강도가 클수록 광반응에 의한 벤젠의 분해율이 증가하였다.
