Spectroscopic properties of $Eu^{3+}$, $Sm^{3+}$, $Tb^{3+}$ ions in silicate glasses have been studied. The absorption and emission properties were investigated with the wavelength and rare-earth element concentration. The results showed that the emission spectrum of $Sm^{3+}$ was a transition from $^{5}D_{o}$ excited level to ^{7}F$ ground state and $Sm^{3+}$ was from $4F_{5/2}$ to $^{6}H$ and $Tb^{3+}$ was from $^{5}D_{4}$ to ^{7}F$ The emission intensity was linearly increased with rare-earth element concentrations up to 10wt%.

The $Ca_{1-x}$Sr$_{x}$S:CuCl TFEL devices were fabricated by electron-beam deposition system and luminescent characteristics of the TFEL devices were studied. The SrS and CaS powders were mixed to form $Ca_{1-x}$Sr$_{x}$S host materials and 0.2 at% of CuCl was added as the activator. The luminance(lao) and peak emission wavelength of CaS:CuCl TFEL devices were 9.5 cd/m$^2$ and 492 nm, respectively. The luminance(L$_{30}$) and peak emission wavelength of SrS:CuCl TFEL devices were 633 cd/m$^2$ and 500 nm, respectively. It seems that the addition of CaS into the SrS host material generates blue shift of the EL emission characteristics but reduces the luminance and the luminous efficiency of the $Ca_{1-x}$Sr$_{x}$S:CuCl TFEL devices drastically.

In order for bioremediate the benthic layer in polluted inner Bay, the effects of irradiance and wave-length irradiated from light emission diode (LED) on the growth of benthic diatom Nitzschia sp. (Hakozaki Bay strain of Japan) were investigated. The Nitzschia sp. was cultured under blue LED (450 nm), yellow LED (590 nm), red LED (650 nm) and fluorescent lamp (mixed wavelengths). At $25^{\circ}C$ and 30 psu, the growth of Nitzschia sp. showed its peak at $20\;{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$ (blue LED) and $40\;{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$ (fluorescent lamp), and was inhibited at the irradiance higher than that irradiance. Nitzschia sp. in yellow LED and red LED is fitted by a rectangular hyperbolic curve because no photoinhibition was observed under maximum irradiance used in this study. The irradiance-growth curves were described as ${\mu}=-0.46{\exp}(1-I/6.32)+0.46-0.00043I,\;(r^2=0.98)$ under blue LED, ${\mu}=0.42(I+7.87)/(I+58.9),\;(r^2=0.99)$ under yellow LED, ${\mu}=0.39(I+3.39)/(I+21.6),\;(r^2=0.94)$ under red LED, ${\mu}=-0.38{\exp}(1-I/7.23)+0.38-0.00016I,\;(r^2=0.96)$ under fluorescent lamp. Maximum specific growth rate of blue LED, yellow LED, red LED and fluorescent lamp was $0.44\;day^{-1},\;0.42\;day^{-1},\;0.39\;day^{-1}$ and $0.37\;day^{-1}$, respectively. The absorption coefficient ($a_{ph}$) of Nitzschia sp. was similar under all the wavelengths (400 nm-700 nm), although maximum $a_{ph}$ was $0.0224\;m^2\;mg\;chi.\;{\alpha}^{-1}$ in 472 nm and $0.0179\;m^2\;mg\;chi.\;{\alpha}^{-1}$) in 663 nm. The results may indicate the possibility of environmental improvement around the benthic layer in polluted coastal area because microphytobenthos growth is stimulated by means of irradiated blue LED at the benthic boundary layer during both autumn and winter, and yellow LED, which might have been suppressed growth of harmful algae, at the layer during both spring and summer.

Radiative properties of alumina particles which is the main element of the plume from booster and kick motor used for increasing thrust and insertion into the orbit is analyzed. In order to derive the wavelength integrated (i.e., gray) emissivity, emission term in radiative transfer equation is rearranged to be able to tie up with the parameters induced from fundamental particle scattering Mie theory. Result shows that derived gray emissivity with optical properties increases with temperature rising.

A feedback loop with bandpass filter is introduced in erbium-doped fiber amplifier to clamp the amplifier gain by lasing the amplifier at a selected wavelength. The gain and the ASE (amplified spontaneous emission) output spectra are found to be independent of input signal power and pump power variation so long as the amplifier is lasing. Also they are found to be dependent only on the overall loss of the feedback loop. Even in the case of slowly modulated large signal input, signal distortion due to gain saturation is not observed.served.

A particle counting system that can also provide sensitive, specific chemical information, while consuming very less power, occupying less space, and being inexpensive has been developed. This system uses a microwave plasma torch (MPT) as the excitation source for atomic emission spectrometry (AES). Emission from a single particle can be detected, and the wavelength at which the emission is observed indicates the elements present in the particle. It is believed that correlating the particle size and emission intensity will allow us to estimate the particle size in addition to abovementioned capabilities of the system. In the long term, this system can be made field-portable, so that it can be used in atmospheric aerosol monitoring applications, which require real-time detection and characterization of particles at low concentrations.

Porous silicon (PS) was prepared by electrochemical anodization. Ultra-thin zinc oxide (ZnO) capping layers were deposited on the PS by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PA-MBE). The effects of the ZnO capping layers on the properties of the as-prepared PS were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and photoluminescence (PL). The as-prepared PS has circular pores over the entire surface. Its structure is similar to a sponge where the quantum confinement effect (QCE) plays a fundamental role. It was found that the dominant red emission of the porous silicon was tuned to white light emission by simple deposition of the ultra-thin ZnO capping layers. Specifically, the intensity of white light emission was observed to be enhanced by increasing the growth time from 1 to 3 min.

Electrothermal-Hollow Cathode Glow Discharge Spectrometry (Et-HCGDS) has been constructed in our laboratory for in-situ monitoring of traceble amounts of rare earth elements and actinides. Et-HCGDS is the portable glow discharge system that can perform the trace analysis of elements. The main structural design of Et-HCGDS was based upon the electrothermal heating and glow discharge techniques. More details on Et-HCGDS are available elsewhere. In this study, air was used as a flow gas for the glow discharge system. As a result, the emission spectra of air were collected and the assignment of air emission lines was performed with helps of pure nitrogen and oxygen emission spectra and previously published results. We found that the emission lines of air plasma were mainly due to nitrogen molecules. This paper includes the complete assignments of the air emission lines observed by using Et-HCGDS. Also, this study will be an useful reference for spectrochemical anaysis including air analysis.

We deposited $SiN_x$ thin films by using PECVD technique at $200^{\circ}C$ with various flow ratios of the $SiH_4/N_2$ gases. The photoluminescence measurements revealed that the maximum emission wavelength shifted to long wavelength as the ratio increased, however, positions of the several peak wavelengths, such as 1.9, 2.2, 2.4, and 3.1 eV, were independent on the ratio. Changes of the photoluminescence spectra were measured in the $N_{2}-$, $H_{2}-$, and $O_2$-annealed films. The luminescence intensities increased after the annealing process. In particular, the maximum emission wavelength shifted to short wavelength after $H_{2}-$ or $O_2$-annealing. But there were still several peaks on the spectra of all annealed films, several peak positions remained to be unchanged after the annealing. As for the light emission mechanism, we have considered the defect states of the Si- and N- dangling bonds in the $SiN_x$ energy gap, so that the energy transitions from/to the conduction/valence bands and the defect states in the gap were attributed to the light emission in the $SiN_x$ films. The experimental results point to the possibility of a Si-based light emission materials for flexible Si-based electro-optic devices.

Recently, Organic electroluminescent devices (OELDs) have been demonstrated the medium sized full color display with effective multi-layer thin films. In this study, the multi-layer OELDs were prepared on the patterened ITO (indium tin oxide)/glass substrates by the vacuum thermal evaporation method. The low molecule compounds such as $Alq_3$(trim-(8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum) and CTM (carrier transfer material) as the electron transport and injection layers as well as TPD (triphenyl-diamine) and CuPc (copper phthalocyanine) as the hole transport and injection layers were used. The luminance was rapidly increased above the threshold voltage of 10 V. The luminance and emission spectrum for the OELDs samples with $A1/CTM/Alq_3$/TPD/1TO structures were found to be 430 cd/$m^2$and 512 nm at 17 V showing green color emission. In contrast, the samples with $Li-A1/Alq_3$/TPD/CuPC/1TO multi-structures showed 508 nm in emission spectrum and 650 cd/$m^2$at 17 V in the luminance. The increment of luminance may be ascribed to the improved efficiency of recombination in the region of the emission layers by the deposition of CuPc as hole injection layer and the low work function of the Li-Al electrode compared to the Al electrode.
