In this paper, we introduce a passive transponder in which an LED is used for both a light transmitter and a receiver, and a solar cell is used for supplying power to the all devices in the transponder. The LED in the transponder operates as a photodetector in the receiving mode, and acts as a light source in the transmitting mode. The current responsivity of the LED detector was measured to be in the order of $10^{-4}A/W$, and the receiving bandwidth with a load resistance of $10k{\Omega}$ was about 10 to 30 kHz. Using the LED for an optical transceiver in a VLID transponder, the detection range was about 70 cm when the transponder was illuminated by the visible light from a $3{\times}3$ LED array in a reader.

In this paper, we newly developed a byte-inverted transmission method for flicker-free visible light communication (VLC). The VLC transmitter sends original data in the former half period of the clock, and inverted data and in the latter half period of the clock. The VLC receiver receives the original data in the in the former half period of the clock. In this system, we used 480Hz clock that was generated from the 60Hz power line. The average optical power of the LED array in the transmitter is constant, thus flicker-free, in the observation time longer than the period of the clock that is about 2ms. This period is shorter than the maximum flickering time period (MFTP) of 5ms that is generally considered to be safe. This configuration is very useful in constructing indoor wireless sensor networks using LED light because it is flicker-free and does not require additional transmission channel for clock transmission.

The field of photocatalysis is one of the fastest growing areas both in research and commercial fields. Titanium dioxide is the most investigated semi-conductor material for the photocatalysis applications. Research to achieve $TiO_2$ visible light activation has drawn enormous attentions because of its potential to use solar light. This paper reviews the attempts made to extend its visible photocatalytic activity by carbon doping. Various approaches adopted to incorporate carbon to $TiO_2$ are summarized highlighting the major developments in this active research field. Theoretical features on carbon doping are also presented. Future scenario in the rapidly developing and exciting area is outlined for practical applications with solar light.

This study was carried out to solve problems such as radio frequency band depletion, confusion risk, and security loss in existing visible wireless communication systems, and to determine the applicability of next-generation networks. A light-emitting diode (LED) light communication system was implemented with a controlling switching light module using the ATmega16 micro-controller. To solve the existing modulation effect and disturbance in visible light communication, an integrated interface was evaluated with a driving light module and analyzes its reception property. A transmitter/receiver using the ATmel's micro-controller, high-intensity white LED-6 modules, and infrared sensor KSM60WLM and visible sensor TSL250RD were designed. An experiment from the initial value of distance to 2.5 m showed 0.46 V of the voltage loss, and if in long distance, external light interference occurred and light intensity was lost by external impact and thus data had to be modified or reset repeatedly. Additionally, when we used 6 modules through the remote controller's lighting dimming, data could be transmitted up to 1.76 m without any errors during the day and up to 2.29 m at night with around 2~3% communication error. If a special optical filter can reduce as much external light as possible in the integrated interface, the LED for lighting communication systems may be applied in next generation networks.

질소가 도핑된 이산화티타늄의 광촉매 특성을 알아보았다. 질소가 도핑된 이산화티타늄에 대하여 자외선 및 가시광선 분위기에서 메틸렌블루 광촉매 분해를 수행하였다. XPS 분석을 통해 제조한 $TiO_2$에서 질소(N)가 산소(O)와 치환되었음을 확인하였다. UV-Vis DRS 분석 결과 질소가 도핑된 무정형 $TiO_2$ 시료에서는 가시광선을 거의 흡수하지 않고 자외선을 흡수하는 반면 무정형/anatase 혼재 $TiO_2$ 시료의 경우 가시광선 흡수가 상당히 증가하였다. 질소가 도핑된 anatase $TiO_2$ 시료는 자외선 및 가시광선 조사에서 메틸렌블루 광분해 반응이 나타났다. 그러나 가시광선 조사에서 분해율은 자외선 조사의 분해율보다 낮았다. 무정형/anatase 혼재 $TiO_2$ 시료의 경우 자외선과 가시광선 조사에서 anatase $TiO_2$ 시료의 분해율보다 높았다. 이러한 결과는 anatase $TiO_2$ 시료에 비해 3배 정도 큰 무정형/anatase 혼재 $TiO_2$ 시료의 높은 표면적이 질소 도핑된 작은 anatase 입자와 관련이 있음을 보여준다.

피부과에서는 여드름 피부관리 시 광민감물질인 5-aminolevulinic acid(ALA)를 도포한 후 광선역학요법(Photodynamic therapy, PDT)을 실시한다. 피부관리실에서는 의약품 사용은 금지되어 있다. 따라서 이 연구의 목적은 의약품인 ALA를 도포하지 않고 광선역학요법을 여드름 피부관리 프로그램에 도입하여 그 효과를 알아보았다. 연구 방법은 면포 및 경도 여드름을 가진 여대생 24명을 네 그룹(1군: 대조군, 2군: 420 nm 파장의 청색광 조사, 3군: 660 nm 의 적색광 조사, 4군: 청색광과 적색광을 조사)으로 나누어 2, 3, 4군을 6주간 주 1회 가시광선을 20분씩 조사한 후, 대조군과 비교하였다. 그 결과 가시광선이 조사된 그룹은 홍반, 유분량, 구진, 농포의 수가 감소하였고, 모공의 크기가 축소되었으며 수분량은 증가하였다. 피부관리실의 현재 여드름관리와 광선역학요법을 병행한다면 피부관리실의 여드름 프로그램에 긍정적인 효과를 줄 것이라 기대된다.

Titania is widely used as an effective photocatalyst for the photodegradation of environmental pollutants in air. In this study, novel N-doped $ZrO_2/TiO_2$ photocatalysts were synthesized via sol-gel method and characterized by UV-Vis spectrophotometer, transmission electron microscope, and X-ray diffractometer. N-doped $ZrO_2/TiO_2$ photocatalysts were nano-sized with an average particle size of about 20 nm. The XRD pattern of N-doped $ZrO_2/TiO_2$ photocatalysts showed both anatase and rutile phases. The photocatalytic activity of N-doped $ZrO_2/TiO_2$ photocatalysts was evaluated by degradation of NO under UV and visible light irradiation at various parameters such as amount of photocatalyst, concentration of NO, and intensity of light. The photocatalytic activity of N-doped $ZrO_2/TiO_2$ photocatalysts was effective for the enhancement of the degradation of NO and higher than that of $TiO_2$ photocatlysts under UV and visible light irradiation.

Recently, new devices have been developed for the Internet of Things concept. The devices commonly use RF (Radio Frequency) based wireless communication. With the increase in the number of devices, the space allocated for the radio frequency band in wireless communication fills rapidly. Visible Light Communication (VLC) is an alternative, secure and economical communication technology that uses light instead of radio frequencies. While Web of Things (WoT) is the adaptation of the experience and knowledge acquired from the web into the internet of things ecosystems. By combining these two technologies, the development of the Visible Light Communication for Web of Things (VLC4WoT) system, which can use VLC and WoT technologies, has been our motivation. In our study, microcontroller control circuit was created for VLC4WoT system. Control of the circuits over the internet was performed. VLC based receiver and transmitter units have been developed for wireless communication. Web based interface was created for control. The test apparatus consisting of four objects with four outputs and a transfer unit was carried out. In this test, communication was achieved successfully. It was presented in the study that VLC can be used in the web of things architecture. In the future, it is envisaged to use this system as a safe and economical system in indoor environments.
