The 5 mol% ZnO doped $LiNbO_3$ film and the 2 mol% MgO doped $LiNbO_3$ film were grown on the $LiNbO_3$ (001) substrate by liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) method with $Li_2CO_3-V_2O_5$ flux system. The crytsallinity and the lattice mismatch between $Zn:LiNbO_3$, film and $Mg:LiNbO_3$, film were analyzed by x-ray rocking curve (XRC). In addition, the ZnO and MgO distribution in the cross-section of the multilayer thin films was observed using electron probe micro analyzer (EPMA).

On the MgO single crystals doped artificially with Cr, Cu, Fe we observed thermally stimulated luminescence(TSL) glow curves and spectra, and analyzed them in the temperatures range from at liquid nitrogen temperature(77K) to about 500K after excitation with UV or X-ray irradiation. TSL glow curves obtained from these samples show five peaks at 136.5K, 223.5K, 360K, 390K, 440K, and their estimated activation energies are 0.27eV, 0.63eV, 1.08eV, 1.08eV, 1.19eV, and 1.33eV, respectively. When we measured TSL spectrum at the range of 200nm to 650nm on the MgO single crystals. we also analyzed the peak wavelength which obtained at 345nm, 375nm, and 410nm from measurement of TSL spectrum and described their luminescence mechanisms. TSL spectrum peaks emitted from MgO:Cr, MgO:Cu, and MgO:Fe appear at the wavelengths of 345nm, 360nm, and 375nm, respectively.

Purpose: To develop the 2~8X zoom beam expander for the 1064 nm laser source. Methods: After developing the program by which the initial design values of 3-component zoom tracks can be quickly obtaind, we design and develop the zoom beam expander by applying this program and the commercial program of Sigma 2000. Results: In this study, we could develop the program by which the initial design values of zoom tracks can be quickly obtaind, and by applying this program and the commercial program of Sigma 2000 we could design and develop the zoom beam expander for 1064 nm which is able to zoom from 2${\times}$ to 8${\times}$. The developed zoom beam expander has an efficient diameter of the incidence side of 8 mm, an efficient diameter of the exit side of 32 mm, and a capacity with the finite ray aberration within 0.0001rad. Because the overall length (OAL) is restricted between 125 mm and 135 mm, the change of the whole barrel length which is caused by variations of the zoom driving becomes to be within 10 mm. Conclusions: we could develop the program by which the initial design values of zoom tracks can be quickly obtaind, and by applying this program we could design and develop the zoom beam expander for 1064 nm which is able to zoom from 2${\times}$ to 8${\times}$.

Identification of various inorganic compound crystals contained in solar salts, which are produced from 12 areas of Jeonnam, was firstly made by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. The analysis of the XRD spectra was carried out on the basis of Joint Committee on Powder Diffraction Standards (JCPDS) data and the results of Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometer (EDX) measurements. In particular, the analysis of the XRD spectra supported that each solar salt contains $Na_2S$ (Shinan Jeungdo and Sinui), $KMgCl_3$ (Shinan Bigeum), $Ca(ClO_3)_2$ (Shinan Docho), $CaAl_4O_7$ (Haenam Songji), $CaSiO_3$ and $CaCl_2$ (Goheung) as inorganic compound crystals, which have not been reported for the solar salts. Also, the XRD results indicated that the solar salts maintain a cubic NaCl crystal structure without any change of lattice parameters etc. However, it was shown in the Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM) images that an external form of the solar salts has a lamination layer shape of a cubic structure, which is different from a simple cubic form for the purified salts and the reagent NaCl.

Purpose: A simple and efficient method to prepare nanocrystalline ZnO thin film with pure strong UV emission on soda-lime-silica glass substrates by low-temperature annealing was improved. Methods: Crystal structural, surface morphological, and optical characteristics of nanocrystalline ZnO thin films deposited on soda-lime-silica glass substrates by prefiring final annealing process at 300$^{\circ}C$ were investigated by using X-ray diffraction analysis, field emission-scanning electron microscope, scanning probe microscope, ultraviolet-visible-near infrared spectrophotometer, and photoluminescence. Results: Highly c-axis-oriented ZnO films were obtained by prefiring at 300$^{\circ}C$. A high transmittance in the visible spectra range and clear absorption edge in the ultra violet range of the film was observed. The PL spectrum of ZnO thin film with a deep near band edge emission was observed while the defect-related broad green emission was nearly quenched. Conclusions: Our work will be possibly adopted to cheaply and easily fabricate ZnO-based optoelectronic devices at low temperature, below 300$^{\circ}C$, in the future.

The aim of this work is to improve the mechanical properties of materials for glasses lens cutting at $1920^{\circ}C$ using SrO as sintering additive. The heating rate was $15^{\circ}C/min$ and the cooling rate about $25^{\circ}C/min$ from the sintering temperature to $1000^{\circ}C$. SEM analysis and XRD of the surface of samples were carried out. Microstructures of sintered materials were strongly dependent on the composition of sintering additives. The fracture toughness and hardness were increased by increasing the SrO. Typical fracture toughness and hardness of materials for glasses lens cutting were $5.6{\pm}0.3MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ and $16.2{\pm}0.5GPa$, respectively.

New lithography techniques are employed for the patterning of arbitrary shapes in nanometer scale. When, in the photolithography, the electromagnetic waves such as UV and X-ray are incident on the mask patterned in nanometer scale, the diffraction effect is unavoidable and degrades images of the mask imprinted on wafer. Only a convex lens is well-known Fourier transformer. It is possible to make the mask Fourier-transformed with the convex lens, even though the size of pattern on the mask is very large compared to the wavelength of electromagnetic wave. If the mask, modified according to new technique described in this paper, was placed at the front of the lens and was illuminated with laser beam, the nanometer-size patterns are only formed on the plane called Fourier transform plane. The new method presented here is quite simple setup and comparable with present and next generation lithographies such as UV/EUV photolithograpy and electron projection lithography when compared in attainable minimum linewidth. In this paper, we showed our theoretical research work in the field of Fourier optics, . In the near future, we are going to verify this theoretical work by experiments.

The artificial increase in the solar intensity incident on solar cells using lenses or mirrors can allow solar cells to generate equivalent power with a lower cost. In application areas of Fresnel lenses as solar concentrators, several variations of design were devised and tested. Some PV systems still use commercially available flat Fresnel lenses as concentrators. In this study, we designed and optimized flat Fresnel lens and the 'light pipe' to develop 500X concentrated solar PV system. We performed rigorous ray tracing simulation of the flat Fresnel lens and light-pipe. The light-pipe can play imporatant roles of redistributing solar energy at the solar cell and increase the mechanical tolerance so that it can increase the lifetime of the high-concentration solar PV system and decrease the cost of manufacturing. To investigate the sensitivity of the solar power generated by the concentrated solar PV according to the performance of lens and light pipe, we performed raytracing and executed a simulation of electrical performance of the solar cell when it is exposed to the non-uniform illumination. We could conclude that we can generate 95 % or more energy compared with the energy that can be generated by perfectly uniform illumination once the total energy is given the same.

The growing conditions of barium nitrate $Ba(NO_3)_2$ single crystals using the aqueous solution method have been studied. Supersaturation can be calculated by measuring the temperature of the solution and its equilibrium temperature. Supersaturation of $Ba(NO_3)_2$ was 0.7% at $32.0^{\circ}C$ and about 3% at $34.0^{\circ}C$. The obtained single crystals have three kind of morphology: tetrahedral, cubic, and, rarely, dodecahedral. The normal growth rate is proportional to the supersaturation; it is necessary to make the solution below 5% supersaturation in order to obtain transparent $Ba(NO_3)_2$ single crystals. The normal growth rate for {1$\bar{1}$1} faces was $2.51{\times}10^{-6}$ mm/s for the 0.7% supersaturation condition ($32.0^{\circ}C$), $6.43{\times}10^{-6}$ mm/s for the the condition of 3.0% supersaturation, and $7.01{\times}10^{-6}$ mm/s for the condition of 5.0% supersaturation. The quality of the grown crystals depends on the nature of the seed, the cooling rate employed, and the agitation of the solution. The faces of the obtained crystals have been identified uising an X-ray diffractometer. The surface diffusion is responsible for the low growth rates of the {1$\bar{1}$1} faces.

Nanocomposite of Au doped ZrO$_2$ films was prepared, which could be used as non-linear optic materials, selective absorption and transmission films. After heat treatment of prepared thin film by dip-coating method, the characteristics were investigated by X-ray diffraction, UV-VIS Spectrometer, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Film thickness was about 150 nm, the Au particle size was 15~35 nm. The thin film had a smooth surface roughness about 1.06 nm. Nonlinearity optics was found that films showed absorption peak at 600~650 nm visible region by plasma resonance of Au metal particles.
