Multiple LED arrays can be utilized in visible-light communication (VLC) to improve communication efficiency, while maintaining smart illumination functionality through dimming control. This paper proposes a modulation scheme called "Spatial Intensity Modulation" (SIM), where the effective number of turned-on LEDs is employed for data modulation and dimming control in VLC systems. Unlike the conventional pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM), symbol intensity levels are not determined by the amplitude levels of a VLC signal from each LED, but by counting the number of turned-on LEDs, illuminating with a single amplitude level. Because the intensity of a SIM symbol and the target dimming level are determined solely in the spatial domain, the problems of conventional PAM-based VLC and related MIMO VLC schemes, such as unstable dimming control, non uniform illumination functionality, and burdens of channel prediction, can be solved. By varying the number and formation of turned-on LEDs around the target dimming level in time, the proposed SIM scheme guarantees homogeneous illumination over a target area. An analysis of the dimming capacity, which is the achievable communication rate under the target dimming level in VLC, is provided by deriving the turn-on probability to maximize the entropy of the SIM-based VLC system. In addition, a practical design of dimmable SIM scheme applying the multilevel inverse source coding (MISC) method is proposed. The simulation results under a range of parameters provide baseline data to verify the performance of the proposed dimmable SIM scheme and applications in real systems.

A fiber-optic pressure sensor is fabricated with a photoelastic glass material. To remove the influence of external pertubation along the optical fiber, a new referencing technique is proposed by using two light sources. LED with 870nm wavelength is used as light source for reference signal, and LED with 660nm wavelength is used as light source for modulation signal. The fiber-optic pressure sensor system shows good linearity within the pressure range of 0 to 5 $kg/cm^2$.

비전을 이용한 광학식 검사공정이나 그 밖의 광학 현미경을 이용한 측정에 있어서 초점조절은 곧바로 측정 정밀도에 영향을 주는 중요한 요소이다. 본 논문에서는 핀홀 대신 광섬유를 사용하는 공초점 현미경 구조와 하나의 광섬유가 광원과 검출기의 역할을 동시에 수행하는 상반구성(reciprocal scheme)을 적용함으로써 간결하게 시스템을 구성하면서 광축 정렬을 용이하게 하였으며, 압전소자(PZT)를 이용한 광섬유 광원의 광축 방향 변조를 통해 방향 정보가 실린 초점오차 신호를 획득함으로써 빠른 초점조절을 구현하였다. 대물렌즈 변조방식과 달리 광원 변조방식은 현미경 시스템에 미치는 물리적 영향을 줄일 수 있으며, 기존의 장치에 탑재가 비교적 용이하다는 장점을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 변조 진폭과 시편의 반사도 및 기울기 변화에 따른 초점오차 신호의 변화를 측정하였으며, 거울 시편에 대한 초점조절을 통해 본 시스템의 성능을 평가해 보았다. 또한 종방향 특성곡선의 반치폭 비교실험을 통해 광원 변조는 광축 방향 분해능에 영향을 주지 않음을 확인하였다.

초고속 광가입자망을 효율적으로 구축하지 위한 많은 연구가 이루어져 오고 있는 가운데, 본고에서는 이를 위한 한 방안으로 공유광원 및 원격변조방법을 이용한 광가입자망 전송시스템을 제안하고 기술적, 경제적 타당성을 고찰한다. 제안된 시스템에서는 상하향 전송링크에 외부변조방식을 채택하고 전송에 필요한 모든 캐리어 광원은 전화국에서 공급된다. 또한 캐리어 광원은 각각의 링크별로 두지 않고 소수의 광원을 다수의 링크가 공유하는 구조로 되어 있다. 본 시스템에 대한 실험적 시뮬레이션 결과, 하나의 공유광원으로 하향전송(2.5Gb/s)시에는 약 2,000 가입자링크의 수용이 가능하고 상향전송(155Mb/s)시에는 약 500 가입자링크를 수용할 수 있음을 알았다.

Visible light communications (VLC) use modern solid-state light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to broadcast information. Emerging white-light LEDs allow the combination of lighting and optical wireless communication in one optical source. In this paper, a new LED lighting design using one-chip-type white LEDs is proposed for efficient illumination and optical wireless communications under the existence of several obstacles. Lighting and communication performance are analyzed to show the effectiveness of the proposed LED lighting. Specifically, the signal-to-noise ratio considering intersymbol interference and the bit-error rate of variable pulse position modulation (VPPM) with dimming control are considered.

The Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS) is a part of the active safety system, providing optimized vision to the driver during night time and other poor-sight conditions of the road by automatic adaptation of lighting to environmental and traffic conditions. Basically, an AFS provides four different modes of the passing beam as designated in an United Nations Economic Commission for Europe regulation (ECE324-R123): neutral state or country light (Class C), urban light (Class V), highway light (Class E), and adverse weather light (Class W). In this paper, we first present an optics design for an AFS system capable of producing the Class C/V/E/W patterns requiring only on/off modulation of multi-array LEDs with no need for any additional mechanical components. The AFS optics consists of two separated modules, cutoff and spread; the cutoff module lights a narrow central area with high luminous intensity, satisfying the cutoff regulation, and the spread module forms a wide spread beam of low luminous intensity. Each module consists of two major parts; the first converts a discretely positioned LED array into a full-filled area emitting light source plane, and the second projects the light source plane to a 25 m away target plane. With the combination of these two optics modules, the four beam patterns are formed by simple on/off modulation of multi-array LEDs. Then we report the development of a prototype that was demonstrated to provide the four beam patterns.

A new pathlength deviation detection technique which is composed of michelson interferometer is described and verified experimentally. The technique uses a sub-threshold biased visible laser diode of 20$\mu$m coherence length as a low-coherent light source. And for zeroth-order fringe(which is the largest among fringes) identification we used a piezoelectric transducer with a large modulation smplitude, which enables without the need of constant velocity scanning, to distinguish reflection surfaces separated by more than 10$\mu$m with a resolution of less than half-wavelength.

The signal processing algorithm for a PSD(Position Sensitive Detector) using amplitude modulation/demodulation is addressed in this paper. Dark currents and external noises such as daylight and fluorescent lights are eliminated by using amplitude modulation/demodulation and a low pass filter. The proposed amplitude modulation/demodulation method for a PSD sensor is compared with pulse amplitude modulation method. The proposed amplitude modulation is proved to be more accurate and robust than PAM method by analysis and experiments. Multiple measurements using one PSD sensor by amplitude modulation/demodulation is also addressed. The Power variation of light source is compensated by normalization process using a divider.

We present a novel bandwidth measurement scheme for multimode optical fibers. Amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) radiation was utilized for a source of intrinsically modulated light with a wide modulation bandwidth. In our measurement scheme, the continuous-wave (CW) ASE light that passed through a multimode fiber (MMF) under test was analyzed by the fourth-order power with a high-speed photodetector and an electric spectrum analyzer. The modulation transfer function of the multimode fiber could be directly measured with the photoelectric spectra in the modulation frequency domain. The measurement result of our method was experimentally compared to that of the conventional measurement scheme based on the impulse response measurement. It has been found that our scheme provides a stable measurement means of MMF characterization that is suitable for the field testing due to the simplicity of the system.
