  • Optical resonances of metallic or dielectric nanoantennas enable to effectively convert free-propagating electromagnetic waves to localized electromagnetic fields and vice versa. Plasmonic resonances of metal nanoantennas extremely modify the local density of optical states beyond the optical diffraction limit and thus facilitate highly-efficient light-emitting, nonlinear signal conversion, photovoltaics, and optical trapping. The leaky-mode resonances, or termed Mie resonances, allow dielectric nanoantennas to have a compact size even less than the wavelength scale. The dielectric nanoantennas exhibiting low optical losses and supporting both electric and magnetic resonances provide an alternative to their metallic counterparts. To extend the utility of metal and dielectric nanoantennas in further applications, e.g. metasurfaces and metamaterials, it is required to understand and engineer their scattering characteristics. At first, we characterize resonant plasmonic antenna radiations of a single-crystalline Ag nanowire over a wide spectral range from visible to near infrared regions. Dark-field optical microscope and direct far-field scanning measurements successfully identify the FP resonances and mode matching conditions of the antenna radiation, and reveal the mutual relation between the SPP dispersion and the far-field antenna radiation. Secondly, we perform a systematical study on resonant scattering properties of high-refractive-index dielectric nanoantennas. In this research, we examined Si nanoblock and electron-beam induced deposition (EBID) carbonaceous nanorod structures. Scattering spectra of the transverse-electric (TE) and transverse-magnetic (TM) leaky-mode resonances are measured by dark-field microscope spectroscopy. The leaky-mode resonances result a large scattering cross section approaching the theoretical single-channel scattering limit, and their wide tuning ranges enable vivid structural color generation over the full visible spectrum range from blue to green, yellow, and red. In particular, the lowest-order TM01 mode overcomes the diffraction limit. The finite-difference time-domain method and modal dispersion model successfully reproduce the experimental results.

  • A miniaturized FTIR spectrometer based on lamellar grating interferometry is being developed for passive remote-sensing. Consisting of a pair of micro-mirror arrays, the lamellar grating can be fabricated using MEMS technology. This paper describes a method to compute the optical field in the interferometer to optimize the design parameters of the lamellar grating FTIR spectrometer. The lower limit of the micro-mirror width in the grating is related to the formation of a Talbot image in the near field and is estimated to be about $100{\mu}m$ for the spectrometer to be used for the wavelength range of $7-14{\mu}m$. In calculating the far field at the detection window, the conventional Fraunhofer equation is inadequate for detection distance of our application, misleading the upper limit of the micro-mirror width to avoid interference from higher order diffractions. Instead, the far field is described by the unperturbed plane-wave combined with the boundary diffraction wave. As a result, the interference from the higher order diffractions turns out to be negligible as the micro-mirror width increases. Therefore, the upper limit of the micro-mirror width does not need to be set. Under this scheme, the interferometer patterns and their FT spectra are successfully generated.

  • Infrared Scanning Near-field Optical Microscopy (IR-SNOM) is an extremely powerful analytical instrument since it combines IR spectroscopy's high chemical specificity with SNOM's high spatial resolution. In order to do this in the infrared, specialty chalcogenide glass fibers were fabricated and their ends tapered to generate SNOM probes. The fiber tips were installed in a modified near field microscope and both inorganic and biological samples illuminated with the tunable output from a free-electron laser located at Vanderbilt University. Both topographical and IR spectral images were simultaneously recorded with a resolution of ${\sim}50\;nm$ and ${\sim}100\;nm$, respectively. Unique spectroscopic features were identified in all samples, with spectral images exhibiting resolutions of up to ${\lambda}/60$, or at least 30 times better than the diffraction limited lens-based microscopes. We believe that IR-SNOM can provide a very powerful insight into some of the most important bio-medical research topics.

  • A rigorous formulation is suggested〔l,2,3〕 in solving the scattering of plane waves by a dielectric wedge. Correcting surface currents are expanded in a Neumann series of fractional orders to meet the edge condition of static limit〔4〕. For the better converging series, the modified Neumann series satisfying the static limit edge condition and the radiation condition are suggested here for the surface currents having two different wave numbers of air and dielectric〔4〕. This representation gives accurate solutions over the whole region including the grazing incidence of the plane waves upon the dielectric wedge of large permittivities.

  • Stereo-lithography using the two photon absorption(TPA) makes micro structures with great resolution. The technique is applied to correcting photomask, 3-D photonic crystal, 3-D optical storage, 3-D lithography and so on. In contrast to a conventional stereo-lithography with single-photon absorption which has a size problem caused by the geometrical diffraction limit, the stereo-lithography with TPA has no size limit.

  • Lead halide perovskites CH3NH3PbX3 (X=Cl, Br, I) have received great interest in the past few years because of their excellent photoelectronic properties as well as their low-cost solution process. Their theoretical efficiency limit of the solar cell devices was predicted around 31% by a detailed balance model for the reason that exceptional light-harvesting and superior carrier transport properties. Additionally, these excellent properties contribute to the applications of optoelectronic devices such as LASERs, LEDs, and photodetectors. Since these devices are mainly using perovskite thin film, one of the most important factor to decide the efficiency of these applications is the quality of the film. Even though, optoelectrical devices are composed of polycrystalline thin film in general, not a single crystalline form which has longer carrier diffusion length and lower trap density. For these reasons, monodomain perovskite thin films have potential to elicit an optimized device efficiency. In this study, we analyzed the crystallography of the in-plane aligned perovskite thin film by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED). Also the basic optic properties of perovskites were checked using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-Vis spectrum. From this work, the perovskite which is aligned in all directions both of out-of-plane and in-plane was fabricated and analyzed.

  • Isotropic pitch fibers were stabilized and carbonized for preparing carbon fibers. To optimize the duration and temperature during the stabilization process, a thermogravimetric analysis was conducted. Stabilized fibers were carbonized at 1000, 1500, and $2000^{\circ}C$ in a furnace under a nitrogen atmosphere. An elemental analysis confirmed that the carbon content increased with an increase in the carbonization temperature. Although short graphitic-like layers were observed with carbon fibers heat-treated at 1500 and $2000^{\circ}C$, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction revealed no significant effect of the carbonization temperature on the crystalline structure of the carbon fibers, indicating the limit of developing an ordered structure of isotropic pitch-based carbon fibers. The electrical conductivity of the carbonized fiber reached $3.9{\times}10^4$ S/m with the carbonization temperature increasing to $2000^{\circ}C$ using a four-point method.

  • 회절지오토모그래피는 정량적으로 고 분해능의 지하구조를 구하는 영상화 기법이다. 일반적으로 회절지오토모그래피는 시추공-시추공 자료의 영상단면을 구하는데 적용된다. 본 연구에서는 일반적인 지표레이다 탐사자료로부터 고 분해능의 지하구조를 영상화하는 회절지오토모그래피 알고리듬을 구성하였다. 개발된 알고리듬을 유한차분 모형응답자료에 적용하여 적용조건, 적용한계 등을 살펴보았다. 역산 매개변수들(영상화 주파수의 개수, 평활화 계수, 주파수 영역)을 약산란 가정에 부합하는 고립형 대상체로부터 추정하였다. 또한 약산란 가정에 위배되는 모형에 적용하여 알고리듬의 유용성을 확인하였다.

  • 본 연구에서는 여러 형태의 회절광학요소의 field performance를 조사하였다. Zemax 프로그램을 이용하여 다섯 개의 회절광학요소, 즉 투과형 평면 DOE, 투과형 곡면 DOE, 반사형 포물면 DOE, 반사형 평면 DOE, 그리고 반사형 곡면 DOE를 설계하였다. 그리고 이들 회절광학요소에 극자외선 파장인 13 nm와 가시광선 파장인 632.8 nm를 적용시켰다. 이들 DOEs에 사입사 조명시의 회절 한계 하에서의 시야각의 크기 및 파장에 따른 특성, 그리고 주된 수차의 형태를 상호분석 비교하였다. 회절한계 하에서 투과 및 반사 형태 모두에서 곡면 DOEs의 시야각이 평면 DOEs의 시야각보다 훨씬 크다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 사입사 경우에 평면 DOEs와 포물면경의 주된 수차는 코마이며, 곡면 DOEs의 주된 수차는 비점수차와 상면만곡의 혼합된 형태로 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 측정을 통하여 얻은 시야각의 크기와 수차의 종류가 이론적인 결과와 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 극자외선영역에서 평면형 DOEs에 비해 곡면형 DOEs의 field angle의 증가율이 가시광선에서보다 더 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.
