Some polarization characteristics of reflection type photopolymer are investigated. Photopolymer on a Mylar substrate alters an incoming linearly polarized laser beam to an elliptical polarization. Due to the rotation of the polarization, the recording gratings show different diffraction efficiencies. The rotation angle is of order of 10-50% for the tested samples. It is found that the polymer layer does not changes the polarization direction but the Mylar substrate alone distorts the incoming polarization to a comparable degree. As align the polarization states of photopolymers to be parallel with a laser using a He-Ne laser(633nm), which is not sensitive to that material, it was possible to make high diffraction efficiency gratings.

We have investigated dielectric polarization in organic light-emitting diodes using 8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum($Alq_3$) as an electron transport and emissive material. We analyzed the dielectric polarization of organic light-emitting diodes using characteristics of impedance and equivalent circuit of $ITO/Alq_3/Al$. Impedance characteristics was measured complex impedance Z and phase ${\theta}$ in the frequency range of $1{\times}40Hz\;to\;1{\times}10^8Hz$. We obtained complex electrical conductivity, dielectric constant, and loss tangent(tan${\delta}$) of the device at room temperature. And, we obtained the equivalent circuit of $ITO/Alq_3/Al$ through analyzing dielectric constant and dielectric loss tangent. From these analyses, we could interpret a conduction mechanism and dielectric polarization.

The SBN thin films were deposited on Pt/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si and p-type Si(100) substrate by rf magnetron sputtering method using $Sr_{0.7}Bi_{2.3}Nb_2O_9$ ceramic target. SBN thin films deposited were annealed at 600~800[$^{\circ}C$] by furnace in oxygen atmosphere during 40min. The polarization characteristics have been investigated to confirm the possibility of the SBN thin films for the application to destructive read out ferroelectric random access memory. The maximum remanent polarization and the coercive voltage are 0.6[${\mu}C/cm^2$], 1.2[V] respectively at annealing temperature of 800[$^{\circ}C$]. The leakage current density was the $2.57{\times}10^{-6}[A/cm^2]$ at an applied voltage of 5[V] at annealing temperature of 650[$^{\circ}C$]. Also, the fatigue characteristics of SBN thin films did not change up to $10^8$ switching cycles.

Recently, anti-fouling paints which does not include the poison components such as tin(Sn), copper(Cu) have been increasingly developed in order to inhibit the environmental contamination of the sea water. Moreover, the wear ratios of these anti-fouling paints are very important problem to prolong their life time in economical point of view. In this study, five types of anti-fouling paints as self polishing type were investigated on the relationship between their polarization characteristics and wear ratios. It was verified that there was apparently a good relationship between the wear ratio and polarization characteristics, for example, the wear ratio increased with increasing the impedance ratio, and increased or decreased with the corrosion potential shifting in the negative or positive direction respectively. In addition, the wear ratio decreased with decreasing the corrosion current density. Consequently, it is suggested that we can qualitatively expect the wear ratio by only measuring the polarization characteristics. Therefore, before the examination of the wear ratio was actually carried out in the field, the evaluation of polarization property in the laboratory may give a available reference data for their developments.

This paper introduces a technique to obtain the broadband characteristics of circularly polarized antennas using an L-shaped probe. A waveguide antenna is suitable for obtaining high gain and handling convenience in some applications; however, the asymmetrical structure of the L-shaped probe results in cross-polarization and frequency dependence on the field distribution of higher-order modes (HOM). In addition to the basic characteristics of a waveguide antenna with an L-shaped probe, the author discusses some techniques to reduce the HOM and cross-polarization. As a result, the 3-dB axial ratio (AR) is obtained with the fundamental mode even when the frequency is expanded to the region for HOM of TM. This reduction is mainly due to the cutoff structure to the TM mode around the short wall of the waveguide. Furthermore, some aperture modification techniques can reduce the cross-polarization in a wide range of angles in the radiation pattern. Such techniques and their mechanisms are discussed in this paper. The obtained performance shows that the proposed antennas have a wide range of angles of 3-dB AR in the radiation pattern, broadband characteristics in impedance and AR, and low variation in group velocity.

In the study, it was carried out dissimilar metal welding on materials for Al ship. The electrochemical and mechanical characteristics evaluated for specimen welded by ROBOT. The hardness of welding zone is lower than those of heat affected zone and base metal. At the result of tensile test, the specimen welded with ER5183 welding material presented excellent property compared with ER5556. The polarization trend for the base metal and welding metal showed the effects of concentration polarization due to oxygen reduction and activation polarization due to hydrogen generation. At the Tafel experiments result, the corrosion density in welded with ER5183 welding material presented the lowest value.

This paper was studied on the effect of the specific resistance of water on corrosion characteristics of STS 304 for gas boiler. The electrochemical polarization test of STS 304 for gas boiler was carried out. And the polarization resistance, uniform corrosion, corrosion behavior by impressed potential and corrosion sensitivity of STS 304 with specific resistance were considered. The main results are as following: 1) With being low the specific resistance of water, the polarization resistance and corrosion potential of STS 304 decreases, while corrosion current density increases. 2) Under constant impressed potential, the corrosion sensitivity of STS 304 is large with being low the specific resistance due to synergy effect of Cl ion.

We report theoretical investigation on the polarization selective coupling characteristics of a side-polished fiber directional coupler with a thin metal interlayer. Based on normal mode theory the coupling properties of the device under various structural conditions are analyzed. It is shown that the coupling strength between TE modes weakens rapidly with increase or metal interlayer thickness, whereas that between TM modes becomes stronger. The design conditions of the polarization splitter using the coupler to achieve high extinction ratio and low insertion loss are presented.

TX/RX dual microstrip 1$\times$8 sub-array antennas are designed, fabricated, and measured for a wideband array antennas in communications. They have a Right Handed Circular Polarization (RHCP) for TX from 7.9 to 8.4 GHz and Left Handed Circular Polarization (LHCP) for RX from 7.25 to 7.75 GHz. Two stacked patches are used for a wideband characteristics and cornertruncated square patches are adopted for a circular polarization. To enhance bandwidth characteristics of a circular polarization, 1$\times$2 sequential rotation arrays are applied. From the measured results, 1$\times$8 microstrip sub-array antennas have a good agreement with those of the simulation. Therefore the sub-array antennas are applicable to satellite communication antennas, active phased array antennas, and radiators in other antennas.

Thermal spraying onto the metal substrate has been widely used as a technique of the surface treatment in the various industrial field. A wide range of thermal spray technologies exist and all rely on the fundamental process of fusing a metal feedstock, atomizing it and transporting it to the surface of a substrate. Specially, these methods have been taken into account as the protection method against the corrosion. In this study, the polarization characteristics were carried out on the thermal sprayed coating layer immersed in various pH of diluted aqueous solutions at $25^{\circ}C$. Aluminum, Zinc, Ni-base alloy, alumina and polyethylene powder were used with sprayed coating materials. From the polarization curves, the electrochemical corrosion potential($E_{corr}$) and the corrosion current density($I_{corr}$) were investigated.
