In recent years, a miniature spectrometer has been extensively developed due to the marriage of fiber optics and semiconductor detector array. This type of miniature spectrometer has advantages of low price and robustness due to the capability of mass production and no moving parts are required such as lenses, mirrors and scanning monochromator. These systems are ideal for use in teaching labs, process monitoring and field analyses. A portable near infrared (NIR) system has been developed for qualitative and quantitative analysis. This system includes a tungsten halogen lamp for light source, a fiber optics connected a light source, and a sample module to the microspectrometer, The size of spectrometer can be as small as 2.5 cm x 1.5 cm x 0.1 cm. Wavelength ranges can be chosen as 360-800 nm, 800-1100 nm and 1100-1900 nm depending on the type of detector. The software consists of various tools for multivariate analysis and pattern recognition techniques. To evaluate the system, long and short-term stability, wavelength accuracy, and stray light have been investigated and compared with conventional scanning type NIR spectrometer. This developed system can be sufficiently used for quantitative and qualitative analysis for various samples such as agricultural product, herbal medicine, food, petroleum, and pharmaceuticals, etc.

The ceramics superconductor may have a high degree of homogeneity and a more open structure through which atoms can easily diffuse without having to overcome the high activation barrier. Infrared detectors of ceramic superconductor materials have been studied. Ceramic superconductor have smaller reflection coefficient than metal superconductor and therefore infrared light can more easily penetrate into bulks. YBCO thick films show sensitivity of 250 V/W. The accumulation of particles decrease the superconducting energy gap.

HgCdTe Is the most versatile material for the developing infrared devices. Not like III-V compound semiconductors or silicon-based photo-detecting materials, HgCdTe has unique characteristics such as adjustable bandgap, very high electron mobility, and large difference between electron and hole mobilities. Many research groups have been interested in this material since early 70's, but mainly due to its thermodynamic difficulties for preparing materials, no single growth technique is appreciated as a standard growth technique in this research field. Solid state recrystallization(SSR), travelling heater method(THM), and Bridgman growth are major techniques used to grow bulk HgCdTe material. Materials with high quality and purity can be grown using these bulk growth techniques, however, due to the large separation between solidus and liquidus line on the phase diagram, it is very difficult to grow large materials with minimun defects. Various epitaxial growth techniques were adopted to get large area HgCdTe and among them liquid phase epitaxy(LPE), metal organic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD), and molecular beam epitaxy(MBE) are most frequently used techniques. There are also various types of photo-detectors utilizing HgCdTe materials, and photovoltaic and photoconductive devices are most interested types of detectors up to these days. For the larger may detectors, photovoltaic devices have some advantages over power-requiring photoconductive devices. In this paper we reported the main results on the HgCdTe growing and characterization including LPE and MOCVD, device fabrication and its characteristics such as single element and linear array($8{\times}1$ PC, $128{\times}1$ PV and 4120{\times}1$ PC). Also we included the results of the dewar manufacturing, assembling, and optical and environmental test of the detectors.

본 논문은 NDIR(Non Dispersive Infra Red) 방식을 적용하여 $CO_2$ 및 $CH_4$의 두 가지 가스를 하나의 휴대용 장치에서 측정이 가능하도록 제작된 복합 가스 측정 장치에 대한 연구이다. 측정 장치의 구성은 적외선램프에서 적외선이 방출되면 방출된 파장이 광학창을 거치면서 흡수로 인하여 빛이 줄어들게 되고 이 감소량(흡수도)을 검출기에서 검출하고 이를 전기적 신호로 변환 증폭하여(3.5V~6V) 정확한 측정이 가능함을 보여준다. 기존의 Single Sensor 방식은 적외선에서 특수파장을 흡수하여 상대 측정량을 검출하는 방식으로 가스의 경우 $4.26{\mu}m$파장의 빛만을 검출하여 측정하는 방식으로 센서의 값을 보정할 수 있는 기준센서가 없어 오차가 발생하는 문제가 발생하였다. 본 연구에 적용된 Dual Sensor 방식은 다른 가스의 영향을 받지 않는 $3.91{\mu}m$의 기준치와 가스의 $4.26{\mu}m$의 두 파장을 검출하여 비교측정 함으로써 오차가 적어 신뢰도가 높은 방식으로, 휴대형으로 소형화하여 저 전력화가 가능하며, $CO_2$ 및 $CH_4$의 2가지 가스농도를 복합적으로 측정 할 수 있다는 특징이 있다. 측정 범위는 $CO_2$의 경우 0ppm~5,000ppm이고 $CH_4$의 경우는 0~5%의 부피 농도로 실내 공기량 1,000ppm을 측정 할 수 있도록 제작되어 휴대용이나 주택의 Home automation과 연동하여 소화연동이 가능함으로 화재예방에 매우 효과적일 것으로 확인하였다.

In this work, an individual trespassing detector using a PIR sensor to detect infrared rays only between the range of $9.4{\sim}10.4{\mu}m$ radiated from the body is proposed. This detector using FIR sensor detects not insect or object but human body, It doesn't restrict the inhabitant's behavior because the filter of pm sensor is designed to have face angle and the detector only detects the window area. The existing wide angle filter, RIR sensor, detects $30^{\circ}$ angle while the face angle filter sensor on this paper detects $11^{\circ}$ angle with 3cm of face angle filter from 2m of detecting distance. In case of interruption of electric power, 250mAh of lithium-ion battery has worked for 10 hours consuming 22mA in normal state. Meanwhile, in case of interruption of electric power, 250mAh of battery has worked for 4 hours consuming 60mA in trespassing detecting state. Projector, receptor, controller and alarm are put on one PCB in order to make it convenient to install without any special installation skill.

Detecting remote targets is important to active protection system (APS) or infrared search and track (IRST) applications. In normal situation, the well-known constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detector works properly. However, decoys in APS or closely spaced targets in IRST degrade the detection capability by increasing background noise level in the CFAR detector. This paper presents a context aware CFAR detector by the intensity sorting and selection of background region to reduce the effect of neighboring targets that lead to incorrect estimation of background statistics. The existence of neighboring targets can be recognized by intensity sorting where neighboring targets usually show highest ranks. The proposed background statistics (mean, standard deviation) estimation method from median local pixels can be aware of the background context and reduce the effects of the neighboring targets, which increase the signal-to-clutter ratio. The experimental results on the synthetic APS sequence, real adjacent target sequence, and remote pedestrian sequence validated that the proposed method produced an enhanced detection rate with the same false alarm rate compared with the hysteresis-CFAR (H-CFAR) detection.

We present a front-side micromachined thermopile with high sensitivity in the 3-5${\mu}m$ window, and discuss its application to a novel non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) $CO_2$ gas sensor with a light source emitting collimated light. The micromachined thermopile shows a measured sensitivity of 30 mV/W and a $D^*$ of $0.3{\times}10^8cm^{\surd}Hz/W$. Using this newly fabricated thermopile, we also have successfully developed a small, sensitive NDIR $CO_2$ detector module for accurate air quality monitoring systems in energy-saving building and automotive applications. The novel sample cavity comprising specular reflectors around the light bulb is configured to uniformly emit collimated light into the entrance aperture of the cavity in order to enhance the sensitivity of NDIR $CO_2$ detector.

A flame detector responds either to radiant energy visible to the human eye or outside the range of human vision. Such a detector is sensitive to glowing embers, coals, or flames which radiate energy of sufficient intensity and spectral quality to actuate the alarm. An infra-red detectors can respond to the total IR component of the flame alone or in combination with flame flicker in the frequency range of 5 to 30 Hz. A major problem in the use of infrared detectors receiving total IR radiation is the possible interference of solar radiation in the infrared region. When detectors are located in places shielded from the sun, such as vaults, filtering or shielding the unit from the sun's rays is unnecessary. In this study, we proposed method for redue a false alarm with using filtering & sensor technology for distinguish of causes of raise a false alarm and pure flame.

The rosette-scan seeker is a device mounted on the infrared guided missile. It offers the positions and iamges of target to missiles servo system by scanning a space about target in rosette pattern with a single detector. An instantaneous field of view (IFOV), which is a diameter of a detector moving along the path of the rosette pattern, has the property that its smaller size provide the less interference of background signals and detector noise. If its size is too small to voer the total field of view (TFOV), however, it produces the invisible regions in the TFOV. In this case, the invisible regions cause the performance of the seeker to deteriorate. For full scan-coverage, it is necessary to design the small IFOV without the invisible regions in the TFOV, as possible. In this paper, we propose the new method of designing the smaller IFOV than the conventional method and verify full coverage of the scanned region. By comparing the nose equivalent flux density (NEFD) of the proposed method with the that of the conventional one, we confirm that the former is better than the latter in terms of performance.
