We have designed photonic crystal based bandpass filters whose characteristics are suitable for WDM communication system. The filters consist of coupled point defect resonators in two-dimensional photonic crystal. The frequency response of coupled resonators has been analyzed by the coupling of modes in time, from which the design parameters for the coupled resonator filters have been extracted. For the appropriate choice of the design parameters, each resonator is treated as a lumped L-C resonance circuit, and from the analogy between the equivalent circuit and the standard L-C filter circuits, the design parameters are simply determined from the table for general filter circuit design. Based on the determined design parameters, a photonic crystal based filter has been designed and its performance has been calculated using the finite-difference time-domain method. The designed filter shows a pass band of 50GHz and 0.5 dB in-band ripple, which is suitable for typical WDM communication systems with 100GHz channel spacing.

We present an analysis of highly-dispersive guided modes of two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguides. By the plane ave expansion method, band structures and mode profiles of two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguides are obtained. It is found that guided modes have very small group velocities and very large group velocity dispersions in the region near the f-point and in the region near the Brillouin zone edge. Especially, the group velocity dispersions are found to be millions of times larger than that of a conventional optical fiber. The contributions of the transverse resonance formed by two photonic band gap reflectors and the standing wave mode formed by periodic structures are discussed. We conclude that the highly-dispersive characteristics originate from the resonator-like aspect of the photonic crystal waveguide.

A technique to measure the adsorption characteristic of surface area and pore size distribution is proposed and its performance is examined. While the existing equipment utilizes liquid nitrogen, the proposed uses carbon dioxide at the room temperature leading to the small measuring device with easy operation and short measurement time. The performance of the device has been examined with micro-particle carbon cryogel and bamboo activated carbon. The results from the proposed device compared with those of the adsorption apparatus indicate that the measurement of meso-porous material is comparable but micro-porous material gives some error.

This paper represents development of quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and usage as a dew point sensor. The temperature of a quartz resonator was controlled precisely from $20^{\circ}C$ to $-30^{\circ}C$ with the ramping rate of $0.1^{\circ}C/s$ by using a custom-made crystal holder housing the quartz resonator associated with a thermoelectric cooler (Peltier cooler), which results in the working range from $15.2^{\circ}C$ to $-24.0^{\circ}C$ based on an accurate holder temperature compensation and temperature effect compensation process. The developed QCM dew point sensor and analysis techniques show very good sensing characteristics at measurement of moist air with the relative humidity from 10 %R.H. to 90 %R.H. generated by a divided-type humidity generator and the dew point temperatures were determined with an accuracy of less than ${\pm}0.18^{\circ}C$, which also showed good agreement with reference values in their error range.

We investigated the responses of six types of lipid-coated AT-cut quartz crystal resonators to chemical vapour sensors. The responses of quartz crystal at 9 MHz coated with phosphatidylglycerol (PG), phosphatidylinositol(PI), phosphatidylethanolamine(PE), phosphatidylserine(PS), and lipid A(LA) were obtained for amyl acetate, acetoin, menthane and other organic gases which showed different affinities for each lipid. The identification of odorants depending on the species of lipid used for coating is discussed in terms of the normalized resonant frequency shift pattern.

SAW filter has been used in mobile communication device, bandpass filter and resonator for merits )f miniaturization and high reliability. Materials for substrate mainly used single crystal such as LiNbO$_{3}$, LiTaO$_{3}$, ZnO. In this study, it was attempted that LiNbO$_{3}$ was substituted for piezoelectric ceramics(PZT4, PZT5A and PZT8) which had simple fabrication process because fabrication of crystal is difficult and it's cost is high. SAW filters were fabricated by the photolithography on piezoelectric ceramics substrates in order to compare their characteristics with LiNbO$_{3}$'s. The experimental value of center frequency was compared with theoretical one. The average difference of center frequency was 3.7%. PZT8 showed the best bandwidth properties among them. It is considered that PZT8 has higher mechanical quality factor and propagation velocity than others.

Design and performance of 18 GHz phase locked dielectric resonator oscillator(PLDRO) for Point-to-point radio link using analog phase locked loop is described which achieve high stability and low SSB phase noise. The module consists of an 18 GHz voltage controlled dielectric resonator oscillator(VCDRO), buffered amplifier, analog phase detector which are integrated to form a miniature hybrid circuit.

We investigate the effect of laser-resonator mode size on the output of a Yb:YAG laser that is mode-locked by a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM). We demonstrate that the smaller the product of the mode sizes at a SESAM and at a Yb:YAG crystal, the more stable the mode-locked output is. Also, we found numerically that there is a resonator length at which the mode-locked output occurs, regardless of the thermal lens effect of a Yb:YAG.
