We optimized the design of the flat encapsulant of a light-emitting diode (LED) package to obtain higher light output power (LOP), both by experiment and simulation using three-dimensional ray-tracing software. In the experiment, the refractive index of the encapsulant was varied (1.41 and 1.53). In addition, double-layer structures with these refractive indices (1.41/1.53) were investigated by varying the shape of the interface between the two among flat, concave, and convex. The experiments showed that the LOP of the double-layer encapsulant with convex interface increased by 13.4% compared to the single-layer encapsulant with a refractive index 1.41, which was explained by the increase of the light extraction efficiency (LEE) in connection with the increase of the critical angle (${\theta}_c$) and the decrease of the Fresnel reflection.

The objective of this paper is to provide experimental data of Er(rare- earth)doped $SiO_2$thin film made by sputtering methods. The deposition rate of silica glass by sputtering method was 55$\AA$/min. In EDD measurements, the average Er concentration in the deposited film was 0.77(wt%). After annealing at $900^{\circ}C$, the Cl concentration decreased from 3.79(wt%) to 1.52(wt%). The refractive indices of the core $n_1$, cladding $n_2$ were 1.458, 1.558 respectively at 632.8 nm. The refractive index difference between core and cladding, $\Delta$n was 0.1. The refractive index profile of core and cladding interface shows step profile. In the study, $SiO_2$ glass films of Si wafer were successfully doped with active erbium. Therefore, this experimental data will be applicable for fabrications of Er doped planar integrated optical device.

Commercial applications of indium tin oxide (ITO) can be separated into two useful areas. As it is perceived to bear electrical properties and optical transparency at once, its chance to apply to promising fields, usually for an optical device, gets greater in the passing time. ITO is one of the transparent conducting oxides (TCO), and required to carry the relative resistance less than $10^{-3}{\Omega}$/cm and transmittances over 80 % in the visible wavelength of light. Because ITO has considerable refractive index, there exist applications for anti-reflection coatings. Anti-reflection properties require gradual change in refractive index from films to air. Such changes are obtained from film density or nano-clustered fractional void. Glancing angle deposition (GLAD) method is a well known process for adjusting nanostructure of the films. From its shadowing effects, GLAD helps to deposit well-controlled porous films effectively. In this study, we are comparing the reference sample to samples coated with controlled ITO multilayer accumulated by an e-beam evaporation system. At first, the single ITO layer samples are prepared to decide refractive index with ellipsometry. Afterwards, ITO multilayer samples are fabricated and fitted by multilayer ellipsometric model based on single layer data. The structural properties were measured by using atomic force microscopy (AFM), and by scanning X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. The ellipsometry was used to determine refractive indices and extinction coefficient. The optical transmittance of the film was investigated by using an ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer.

프리즘 분광기는 굴절률 측정을 위한 표준 장치로, 대학교 실험실에서 사용되는 전형적인 실험 기구이지만, 정렬할 때 많은 주의가 요구되고 장치의 견고함에 비해 측정된 굴절률의 정확도는 떨어진다. 이러한 단점을 보완한 최대 최소 편향법은 회전 플랫폼과 길이 측정용 테이프로 저렴하게 장치가 구성되고 넓은 스크린을 활용하여 비교적 정확하게 굴절률을 측정할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 한변이 26 mm인 속이 빈 등변 프리즘을 제작하여 글리세린($C_3H_5(OH)_2$), 사염화탄소($CCl_4$), 아닐린($C_6H_4NH_2$), 이황화탄소($CS_2$), 크실렌($C_6H_4(CH_3)_2$) 등의 액체를 채워, He-Ne 레이저의 파장 632.8 nm와 $YVO_4$ 레이저의 파장 532 nm에 대해 프리즘 분광기와 최대 최소법으로 이들 액체의 굴절률을 측정하였다. 측정결과 최대 최소법으로 얻어진 데이터가 프리즘분광기에 의해 얻어진 데이터보다 더 정확하고 정밀함을 확인하였다.

The present work covers a new ray tracing scheme of an injection-molded plastic lens linked with finite element analysis fur injection molding processes. The traditional ray tracing schemes have been based on the assumption that optical property of the lens is homogeneous throughout the entire volume. However, this assumption is quite unrealistic for injection-molded plastic lenses since material properties vary at every point due to injection molding effects. In order to consider non-homogeneous property of a lens, a modified ray tracing method is proposed in connection with finite element analysis of injection molding. Through the analysis of the injection molding process, the distribution of refractive indices can be obtained. This information is then utilized in the proposed ray tracing scheme based on finite element meshes so as to take into account variation of the refractive indices. The effect of mold temperature is also investigated through finite element analysis, and the relevant optical quality is evaluated through the proposed ray tracing simulation.

In this study, the relationship between the transmitted light intensity and full-width-at-half-maximum (FWHM) of a Fabry-Perot filter was investigated. The measured refractive indices and absorption coefficients of the fabricated thin films were applied to the Fabry-Perot filter via simulations using optical software. Although considerable research has been conducted on Fabry-Perot filters, this study focused on the usefulness of 4.26-㎛ infrared filtering in carbon dioxide detection. Optical analysis was performed considering the effects of the thickness, refractive indices, and number of thin films in a distributed Bragg reflector. Ultimately, a clear trade-off relationship was observed wherein the transmitted light intensity decreased as the number of multilayers increased; however, the FWHM was observed to be narrower.

For the application of the photosensitive barrier ribs with optimal properties such as glass transition temperature, refractive index and coefficient thermal expansion, the boro-silicate glasses was studied. The glass transition temperature, coefficient thermal expansion, and refractive index of the glasses based on the $B_2O_3-Al_2O_3-Al_2O_3-SiO_2$ glass system have been investigated with the different ratio of BaO/$Na_2O$ and $B_2O_3/Na_2O$. Increasing the ratio of $B_2O_3/Na_2O$ was led to the increase of coefficient thermal expansion and the decrease of glass transition temperature. The increase of refractive index of boro-silicate glasses increased with the density of glasses. We suggest the empirical equation for the prediction of refractive index with the glass density, $n=0.123{\rho}+1.182$ with 0.042 as the standard deviation in the boro-silicate glass system. The aim of the present paper is to give a basic result of the thermal and optical properties for designing the composition of photosensitive barrier ribs in PDP.

본 연구에서는 광학매질의 비선형 특징을 측정하기 위해, 자체집속현상을 이용하는 기존의 측정법과는 다르게, 매질을 통과한 광원의 위상섭동으로 인하여 far-field에 발생한 공간적 광장도 분포를 이용하는 far-field 위상 변조량 측정법을 사용하였다. 미선형 매질을 통과한 조사과의 위상 변화가 far-field 영역에서 나타나는 겅간적 위상 변조량을 실험적으로 측정아였고, 이를 전산시\ulcorner을 통하여 비교분석하였다. 파장 616nm, 펄스폭 106ps의 분포궤한 섹소레이저(DFDL)와 파장 308nm인 DFDL의 제2고조파를 조사광으로 사용하였고, 매질 $CS_2$와 $BaF_2$의 비선형 특성을 실험적으로 측정한후 이 값을 전산시늉값과 비교하였다. 이 실험에서 파장 616nm에 대해 $CS_2$와 $BaF_2$의 비선형 굴절률 $1.2{\times}10^{-11}$ esu와 $1.0{\times}10^{-13}$ esu를 각각 얻었고, 파장 308nm에 대해 $BaF_2$의 비선형 흡수계수 $5.0{\times}10^{-11}$cm/W를 얻었다. 이들 값은 지금까지 발표된 값들과 잘 일치한다.

스위칭 동작 유도 영역, 소멸비 조절 영역과 소멸비 향상 영역으로 구성된 수직 방향성 결합기 스위치를 제안하였다. 스위칭 동작 유도 영역에서는 코어 한 개의 굴절율 값을 변화시키어 크로스 상태 (cross state)와 바 상태 (bar state)의 스위칭 동작을 유도하였으며, 소멸비 향상 영역에서의 코어 굴절율의 비대칭을 조절하여 소자의 끝단에서 30㏈ 이상의 소멸비를 가지는 크로스 상태와 바 상태를 얻을 수 있었다. 두 코어의 굴절율 값이 같은 대칭형 결합기의 소멸비 조절 영역를 진행하면서 스위칭 동작 유도 영역의 끝단에서 다른 크로스 상태와 바 상태의 소멸비는 소멸비 조절 영역의 끝단에서 같은 값이되어 소멸비 향상 영역에서 최대 소멸비를 가지기 위한 코어 굴절율의 비대칭 값과 소멸비 향상 영역의 길이가 같게된다. 또한 여러 코어 굴절율 값과 안쪽 클래딩의 두께에 따른 크로스 상태와 바 상태의 소멸비 계산 결과의 분석을 통하여 30 ㏈ 이상의 높은 소멸비를 보이며 큰 제작 공차를 얻기 위한 비대칭 수직 방향성 결합 스위치의 설계 지침을 제시하였다.

In this study, the ${\AA}$ngstrom exponent for polydispersed aerosol during dynamic processes was investigated. Log-normal aerosol size distribution was assumed, and a sensitivity analysis of the ${\AA}$ngstrom exponent with regards the coagulation and condensation process was performed. The ${\AA}$ngstrom exponent is expected to decrease because of the particle growth due to coagulation and condensation. However, it is difficult to quantify the degree of change. In order to understand quantitatively the change in the ${\AA}$ngstrom exponent during coagulation and condensation, different real and imaginary parts of the refractive index were considered. The results show that the ${\AA}$ngstrom exponent is sensitive to changes in size distribution and refractive index. The total number concentration decreases and the geometric mean diameter of aerosols increase during coagulation. On the while, the geometric standard deviation approaches monodispersed size distribution during the condensation process, and this change in size distribution affects the ${\AA}$ngstrom exponent. The degree of change in the ${\AA}$ngstrom exponent depends on the refractive index and initial size distribution, and the size parameter changes with the ${\AA}$ngstrom exponent for a given refractive index or chemical composition; this indicates that the size distribution plays an important role in determining the ${\AA}$ngstrom exponent as well as the chemical composition. Subsequently, this study shows how the ${\AA}$ngstrom exponent changes quantitatively during the aerosol dynamics processes for a log-normal aerosol size distribution for different refractive indices; the results showed good agreement with the results for simple analytic size distribution solutions.
