황섬유의 최저손실 파장영역인 $1.55\mu\textrm{m}$에서 고출력으로 안정하게 농작하는 광센서용 광원인 반도체 레이저를 제작하기 위하여 이론적인 해석을 수행한 후 제작하였다. 활성영역과 SCH층의 재료는 $Ln_{1-x}Ga_xAs_yP_{1-y}$를 사용하였다. 광센서용 광원으로 사용되기 위해서는 넓은 스펙트럼 폭을 가지며, 가간섭 길이가 짧은 특성을 가지는 조건을 만족해야 한다. 따라서, 반도체 레이저에서 레이징을 억제시켜 줌으로써 넓은 스펙트럼 폭을 가지도록 설계를 하였고, 광섬유와 결합효율을 높일 수 있도록 tapered 형태의 스트라입 구조를 채택하여 마스크 패턴을 형성하였다. 또한, 레이징을 억제하기 위하여 후면에 윈도우 영역을 두었고, 측방향으로 경사각을 두어 반사도를 낮추도록 설계 및 제작하였다. 7도와 15도의 측면 경사각을 가지는 구조와 굽은 스트라입 구조를 가지는 소자를 제작하여 특성을 측정한 결과, 광센서용 광원으로서 적용이 가능한 광출력 특성과 넓은 스펙트럼 폭을 가졌다.

An optical method to measure the size and number density of soot aggregates in diesel exhaust has been proposed in this study. Two laser beams in co-axial alignment transmit a soot loaded exhaust gas flow, and the transmittance at each wavelength is detected by a photo diode simultaneously. The volume equivalent diameter and number density of soot aggregates in the optical path can be theoretically given by the transmittance values measured at two wavelengths. A test conducted by a single cylinder, 4 cycle, small and DI diesel engine shows that the temporal variations of the size and number density of soot aggregates in the diesel exhaust can be measured by the proposed method at a transient mode operation. It is found that the volume equivalent diameter varied temporally from 70 to 110 nm during the period that high soot concentration is observed. One can also conclude that the optical length longer than 1 m in the dynamic range regarding this method is preferable for measuring soot concentration at the level of $1\;mg/m^3$.

Purpose : Our study aimed to compare the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and light-emitting diode therapy (LEDT) for chronic pain intensity reduction and body temperature increase in older adults with chronic pain. Methods : Overall, 144 of 332 participants' records were used in this retrospective chart review. The study was conducted at a private health center in Busan city and the integrative medical center of a tertiary care hospital in Daegu city, South Korea. Patients experiencing chronic pain for over 6 months were assigned to either the LLLT or LEDT group. Both groups underwent 16 sessions of phototherapy held twice a week for 8 weeks, with each session lasting 60 minutes. The primary outcomes for both groups were the mean visual analogue scale (VAS) scores and body temperatures in both groups. The secondary outcome was the correlation between changes in body temperature and pain intensity. Measurements were recorded at the baseline and at each follow-up session. Results : A decrease in pain intensity and an increase in body temperature (p<.001) were observed in both groups. There was a significant difference in the VAS scores and temperature changes between the groups (p<.001). Odditionally, there were significant differences in the patterns of change in the VAS score and body temperature between the groups as the sessions progressed (p<.01), and a strong inverse correlation between body temperature and pain intensity changes were observed (p<.01). Conclusion : The use of photobiomodulation therapy at a specific wavelength may improve pain severity and simultaneously increase the body temperature among elderly people with chronic pain.

활성 도파로와 수동 도파로의 집적은 광집적 회로의 구성에서 필수적인 요소이다. 이를 구현하기 위한 여러 기술 중 버트 조인트는 상당한 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 버트 조인트 접합은 높은 광손실을 야기하며, 두 도파로 간의 정렬에 있어서 정확한 공정 제어가 요구되는 구조이다. 본 논문에서는 레이저 다이오드와 spot size converter (SSC)로 구성된 집적 소자를 시뮬레이션하기 위해 beam propagation method을 이용하였다. 상이한 모드 특성을 갖는 두 SSC를 레이저 도파로와 연결하고, 광결합 효율을 시뮬레이션 하였다. 큰 근접장 모드를 가지는 SSC는 낮은 광결합 효율을 보여주나, 원거리 발산각 패턴이 좁고 더 대칭적이다. 테이퍼 구조의 수동 도파로는 원거리 발산각 패턴을 열화시키지 않고 버트 조인트에서 도파로 오프셋의 무의존성과 광결합 효율을 향상시키기 위해 이용되었다. 이를 바탕으로 89.6%의 높은 광결합 효율과 16°×16°의 좁은 원거리장 발산각을 얻을 수 있었다.

Background and Objectives Low-level light therapy (LLLT) is an application of low-power light for various purposes such as promoting tissue repair, reducing inflammation, causing analgesia, etc. A previous study suggested the effect of light emitting diode (LED) light with the wavelength of 740 nm for promoting wound healing of corneal epithelial cells. This current study aimed to confirm the effect of LLLT for managing inflammation of a dry eye disease (DED) mouse model. Materials and Methods A total of 50C57BL/6 female mice were randomly grouped into 5 groups to compare the effect of LLLT:1) Control group, 2) Only LLLT group, 3) Dry eye group, 4) LLLT in dry eye group, and 5) Early treatment group. DED was induced with 4 daily injections of scopolamine hydrobromide and desiccation stress for 17 days, and LLLT at 740 nm was conducted once every 3 days. To analyze the effect of LLLT on the DED mouse model, tear volume, corneal surface irregularities, and fluorescence in stained cores were measured, and the level of inflammation was assessed with immunohistochemistry. Results The DED mouse model showed significant deterioration in the overall eye condition. After LLLT, the amount of tear volume was increased, and corneal surface irregularities were restored. Also, the number of neutrophils and the level of inflammatory cytokines significantly decreased as well. Conclusion This study showed that LLLT at 740 nm was effective in controlling the corneal conditions and the degree of inflammation in DED. Such findings may suggest therapeutic effects of LLLT at 740 nm on DED.

In HDD industry, many technologies have been developed and investigated as means to increase the areal density of drives. Especially, heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) system has been considered as the next generation storage device. Most of the HAMR systems use near field optics as heating mechanism. Therefore, light delivery system is indispensable. We considered the light delivery system with laser diode (LD) mount and optical fiber. Mass and stiffness of the HAMR system using these LD mount and optical fiber are changed. The mass and stiffness of the HAMR system affects the slider dynamic behavior. It is necessary to analyze touch down (TD) and take off (TO). And, we performed the TD-TO experiment with HAMR suspension. Finally, we analyzed the result of TD-TO experiments. And we suggested the design of HAMR suspension to improve TD-TO performance.

This paper describes the temperature characteristics of polycrystalline 3C-SiC micro resonators. The 1.2 ${\mu}m$ and 0.4 ${\mu}m$ thick polycrystalline 3C-SiC cantilever and doubly clamped beam resonators with 60 ~ 100 ${\mu}m$ lengths were fabricated using a surface micromachining technique. Polycrystalline 3C-SiC micro resonators were actuated by piezoelectric element and their fundamental resonance was measured by a laser vibrometer in vacuum at temperature range of $25{\sim}200^{\circ}C$. The TCF(Temperature Coefficient of Frequency) of 60, 80 and 100 ${\mu}m$ long cantilever resonators were -9.79, -7.72 and -8.0 $ppm/^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, TCF of 60, 80 and 100 ${\mu}m$ long doubly clamped beam resonators were -15.74, -12.55 and -8.35 $ppm/^{\circ}C$. Therefore, polycrystalline 3C-SiC resonators are suitable with RF MEMS devices and bio/chemical sensor applications in harsh environments.

양자점 (quantum dot) 기반의 반도체 레이저 다이오드(laser diode)는 낮은 문턱전류와 높은 미분 이득 및 높은 특성온도 등과 같은 장점을 갖는다. 이러한 레이저 다이오드의 특성은 양자점 활성층 품질에 의해 큰 영향을 받기 때문에 고품위 양자점 성장에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 양자점 구조 성장시 발생하는 변형 (strain)은 레이저 다이오드의 문턱전류, 발진 파장, 내부양자효율 등과 같은 특성에 영향을 미치는 중요한 요소이다. 특히, 레이저 다이오드의 고출력 동작을 위해서는 양자점 적층 기술이 중요한데, 이때 양자점 활성층 영역에 많은 변형이 발생한다. 따라서, 양자점 성장후 변형을 감소하기 위한 변형 완화층(strain released layer)에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 변형 완화층 연구의 일환으로 비대칭 변형 완화층의 조성 및 두께 변화에 따른 양자점 파장 변화에 대한 연구를 수행하였다.

The optical disc drive has used a high NA objective lens and a shorter wavelength laser diode for high recording density. But high NA and shorter wavelength cause several margins to become short. Focusing and tracking servo has to be more accurate and active tilt compensation mechanism is also needed for coma aberration compensation. In this paper, we proposed 3-axis moving magnet type actuator. For 3-DOF motion, moving coil actuator has to equip 6 wires for supplying 3 independent signals. However, moving magnet type actuator doesn't need to change the configuration of wires because coils are in stator. So, we added tilting mechanism to 2-axis moving magnet actuator which is designed in previous research. Addition of the tilting mechanism cuts down the focusing sensitivity. So, maximization the tilting sensitivity and securing the focusing sensitivity are objectivities of this research. DOE (design of experiments) procedures of electromagnetic circuit are performed for parameter study and the optimization is also performed to maximize the tilt sensitivity. And then the final design is suggested and its performance is verified by FE simulation.
