We have demonstrated a -8 dB additional reduction in the intensity sidelobe of an apodized-interaction-strength guide-wave acousto-optic filter with a center passband of 1551.6 nm. Acoustic-intensity weighting was achieved by launching a surface acoustic wave (SAW) beam in a straight acoustic waveguide, and gradually transferring this SAW intensity to the active device, and back out, by evanescent-wave coupling across a 50 !lm barrier over a 19 rom interaction length. The intensity sidelobe was -4.27 dB for an unapodized filter with abmpt onset and cutoff of the interaction, but sidelobes were reduced to at most -12.68 dB for a SAW intensity with raised-cosine weighting. The RF driving power was 17.78 mW. A linear tuning rate of 8.86 nmIMHz and a spectral width of -1.7 nm were demonstrated. rated.

In this study, the fiber-optic fluoro-immunosensor was designed to detect foodborne pathogens. The fabricated system is composed of the multimode optical fiber on which antibodies are immobilized. Then, a sandwich immunoassay is applied to the fabricated the fiber-optic fluoro-immunosensor. In the "sandwich" binding format, a primary or "capture" antibody is immobilized on the core surface of the multimode optical fiber and a secondary or named as "tracer" antibody is added to the bulk solution. A tracer is labeled FITC (fluorescein isothiocyanate; ${\lambda}ex$=492 nm, ${\lambda}em$= 520 nm). Different concentrations of antigens are tested in different fibers. The detection limit of the fabricated system is 5.08×103 cfu/ml for Vibrio antigen and $0.1{\mu}g/ml$, $0.05{\mu}g/ml$ in non-labeled monolayer phosphate buffered saline (NMP), non-labeled monolayer carbonate bicarbonate buffer (NMC), respectively.

When continuous and discontinuous microstrip is analyzed with FDTD(Finite Difference Time Domain) method, we used Berenger's 3D-PML as absorbing boundary condition, and IST(Inner Source Technique) was used for source excitation instead of front excitation that is existing method. In the case using IST, we have observed that analyzed characteristic is not affected by the reduced computational domain of the side and top face in which evanescent field and radiation field is exist. Also, if we control the position of the inner source, we could effectively reject the influence of the reflective wave by mean of imperfective boundary condition. In this paper, by using IST, we have calculated dispersive characteristic and characteristic impedance of the microstrip. And we have calculated magnitude and phase of the scattering coefficient, and obtained equivalent circuit of the open microstrip end.

The acoustic field resulted by the radiation of sound from vibrating structure is predicted based on the sound pressure measurements. The sound pressures are measured at discreate point on the measurement plane ; Hologram. Based on these discreate measurements, the sound field away from the acoustic source is constructed based on the discreate form of Kirchhoff-Helmohltz integral equations The velocities, intensities, and pressures of arbitrary plane of interest in space are predicted and visualized The effects on the sound field reconstruction ; finite aperture effect, effect of finite sampling interval in space studied in terms of wraparound error and spatial aliasing. Numerical simulations and experimental verifications are performed to see these effects. To reduce the wraparound error, zero padding technique in space is used and the usefulness of the method is demonstrated by various examples.

In order to reduce computing time significantly for a large matrix in EFEM of linear waves propagation over ripple beds, each of which is approximated to a multi-step topography, a partition method is presented to calculate reflection coefficients. By use of 10 evanescent modes in the model, the most accurate numerical solutions have been obtained up to date, which show different behaviors of computed reflection coefficient in some cases against the existing results. Both computing time and memory of the present partition model for solving a large matrix are still so much demanding that it is needed to develop an efficient method.

This study suggests a new fluorescence microscope to observe micro-samples within fluorophore in a variety of biomedical fields including the fluorescence analysis of a biochip, such as a DNA micro-array. A fluorescence microscope is a device for irradiating light onto a micro-object, executing an excitation and fluorescence emission process. In this study, it adopts a total internal reflection fluorescence(TIRF) method to excite a whole micro-sample substrate different from an existing way which uses an evanescent wave resulting from a total internal reflection on the micro-sample surface. Suggested TIRF microscope can reduce optical noise and obtain images with higher sensitivity thus obtain precise information about the density, quantity, location, etc. of a flurophore, and can simultaneously process separate images even when plurality of fluorophores having different excitation and fluorescent wavelength ranges is distributed, thus easily obtain information about the fluorophores.

We studied experimentally the angular spectrum of the light emitted from dye Molecules near a plane boundary. It is confirmed that the molecules near the boundary can emit light into the evanescent wave mode, and the light emission with the angle greater than the critical angle is detected with good accuracy. The angular spectrum of the spontaneous radiation is measured, and the spectrum shows contributions from the molecules both near and far away from the boundary. The polarization dependence and the pumping angle dependence are also measured. The experimental results are in good agreement with quantum theory.

The scattering problem by E-polarized plane wave with oblique incidence on a tapered resistive strip grating with infinite resistivity at strip-edges is analyzed by the method of moments in the spectral domain. Then the induced surface current density is expanded in a series of Ultraspherical polynomials of the zeroth order. The expansion coefficients are calculated numerically in the spectral domain, the numerical results of the geometricoptical reflection coefficient for the tapered resistivity in this paper are compared with those for the existing uniform resistivity. And the position of sharp variation points in the magnitude of the geometric-optical reflection coefficient can be moved by varying the incident angle and the strip spacing. It is found out that these sharp variation points are due to the transition of higher modes between the propagation mode and the evanescent mode.

We carried out an image analysis of living cells forming their contacts at the bottom of the cell culturing substrate. In order to visualize the contact area selectively, we adopted total-internal-reflection-fluorescence (TIRF) method, which can illuminate the specimen volume within only several hundred nano-meters above the substrate. From the fluorescent intensity of the TRF image, we could calculate the distance of the cell surface from the substrate. As a result, we visualized the origin of cell contacts, their movements, and the change of cell-contact type from the close-contact into focal-contact with information of its vertical displacement representing the temporal evolution process of the three-dimensional cell-surface-profile near the contact area during this metamorphosis.
