[ $Al_2O_3$ ]기판을 산소 plasma 또는 수소 plasma로 표면 처리한 후 그 위에 plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy 방법으로 성장된 ZnO 박막의 구조적 특성과 광학적 발광 특성을 체계적으로 조사하였다. 제작된 ZnO 박막은 high resolution X-ray diffraction 측정과 atomic force microscope를 사용하여 구조적 특성과 표면 특성을 관찰하였으며, photoluminescence (PL) 측정을 통하여 엑시톤과 관련된 광학적 전이특성을 온도에 따라 조사하였다. free exciton, bound exciton, 그리고 이들의 phonon replica들의 특성을 온도에 따라 분석하였으며, 산소 plasma로 표면 처리한 시료의 PL 세기가 수소 plasma 표면 처리한 시료의 PL 세기보다 상당히 커짐을 관찰하였다. 산소 plasma로 처리된 기판 위에 성장된 ZnO 시료가 수소 plasma로 처리된 경우보다 우수한 구조적 특성과 광학적 특성을 보였는데, 이는 산소 plasma로 표면 처리함으로써 산소 공공(oxygen vacancy)과 같은 결함 구조가 적게 생성되고 좋은 격자 상수 일치를 보여주므로 구조적 특징과 발광 특징이 향상되는 것으로 해석되었다.

All-optical switching has been demonstrated in bacteriorhodopsin (bR) based on nonlinear intensity induced excited state absorption. The transmission of a cw probe laser beam at 410 nm corresponding to the peak absorption of M state through a bR film is switched by a pulsed pump laser beam at 570 nm that corresponds to the maximum initial 8 state absorption. The switching characteristics have been analyzed using the rate equation approach considering all the six intermediate states (B, K, L, M, N and 0) in the bR photocycle. The switching characteristics are shown to be sensitive to life time of the M state, absorption cross-section of the 8 state at probe wavelength ($\sigma$ $\_$Bp/) and peak pump intensity. It has been shown that the probe laser beam can be completely switched off (100 % modulation) by the pump laser beam at relatively low pump powers, for $\sigma$$\_$Bp/ = O. The switching characteristics have been used to design all-optical NOT, OR, AND and the universal NOR and NAND logic gates for optical computing with two pulsed pump laser beams.

Bioluminescence imaging (BLI) is the most sensitive animal imaging technique for molecular imaging research. Generally, highly sensitive CCD is used to detect an optical probe introduced in a living mouse. However, in many cases, the light signal emitted from a probe is too small to detect because it is scattered and attenuated by the tissue prior to being detected. The problem is that scattering and attenuation not only inhibit accurate measurement but also make image quality down. Thus we introduced a new method to reduce noise by using property of CCD and method to improve image quality of bioluminescence image by using two steps Gaussian blurring.
