This paper proposes a high-gain monopulse antenna using the folded reflectarray for a monopulse target-tracking radar systems designed at the center frequency of 94 GHz. In target-tracking radar systems, the angle of arrival of the incoming wave Is determined by comparing the signal received on two or more non-coincident antenna patterns. This is the physical basis of most target-tracking techniques and the comparison is made simultaneously in a monopulse radar systems. In this paper, the antenna consists of polarizing grid, reflectarray, multimode feed horn, and comparator implemented by wavguide. The antenna is able to have three radiation patterns by using the monopulse feed systems assembled by multimode feed horn and comparator. The antenna demonstrates maximum gains 36dB, 33.5dB and 27.2dB at sum mode, azimuth mode, and evevation mode respectively.

Whereas research on telelearning in educational technology area is lively done, that in mathematics education area is not. Related to the open education, telelearning has 4 models: the distance classroom model, the front-end system design, the knowledge construction model, and the teaching model based on data. S/W, C/W, and H/W are the components of telelearning system. For an effective mathematics telelearning system, H/W and S/W which use multimedia with complex multimode information such as text, graphics, animation, video, and audio are necessary. Examples of telelearning systems on going are MIPOS, SDS telelearning system, telelearning system of the Naechon Elementary School, and Doorae Multimedia Application Development Platform.

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.

Nano-scale power splitter based on Si plasmonic waveguides are designed by utilizing the multimode interference (MMI) coupler. Effective dielectric method and longitudinal modal transmission-line theory are used for simulating the light propagation and optimizing the structural parameters at 3-D guiding geometry. The designed $1{\times}2$ 50:50 MMI power splitter has a nano-scale size of only $800nm{\times}850nm$. In order to achieve a variable power splitting ratio, a $2{\times}2$ MMI coupler is designed and the corresponding power splitting ratio can be tuned in the range of 78.5%:15.5%~5.5%:86.6%. Also, it is shown that it has a large bandwidth of $1.5{\mu}m{\sim}1.7{\mu}m$. In this range, the transmission is over 0.8.

Conventional hydrophones can only measure acoustic pressure. To measure both acoustic pressure and incident direction, various types of vector hydrophones have been researched. In this paper, we deal with a ring-type multimode vector hydrophone divided into 4 elements and present a direction-of-arrival (DoA) estimation method based on the pressure gradient-acceleration relationship. The performance of the presented method is analyzed by the simulation based on the sensor modeling and is verified by the water tank experiment. The proposed method could work under the multi-frequency condition and may be utilized in many applications due to its low computation complexity.

In this paper, we have investigated a fiber type active coupler which utilizes the mode coupling between the side polished single mode optical fiber and the active multimode planar waveguide. The proposed device can be used for not only tunable wavelength filter or optical intensity modulator but also a tool for measuring optical properties of guiding material such as refractive index, birefringence, electro-optic coefficient, and thermo-optic coefficient. We gave designed and optimized a coupler structure using the BPM and fabricated the device using thermo-optic polymer as active planar waveguide overlay. The device showed that insertion loss was less then 0.5 dB, extinction ratio was -13 dB at the resonance wavelength, and the wavelength tunablity due to thermo-optic effect was -1.5 nm/$^{\circ}C$. The active coupler using thermo-optic effect can be used as a wavelength tunable filer, an optical intensity modulator and an optical sensor. pulses that are subsequently compressed by a dispersive optical fiber. Experimental results show that $sech^2$ shape pulses with a pulse width of ~14 ps and a time bandwidth product of ~0.34 are successfully generated at 10 GHz repetition rate. In contrast to other methods, such as higher order soliton compression, this approach does not depend on the optical power and thus shows promise for application to low-power lasers.

We present the optimization of a birefringence-enhanced-waveguide (BWG)-based polarization beam splitter (PBS) in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) configuration and analyze the structure-dependent or polarization-dependent phase difference, using a delay-line MZI (DL-MZI). We fabricate the DL-MZI using silica-based planar lightwave circuit technology and, using the DL-MZI, demonstrate the ability to optimize a PBS by measuring the birefringence of the BWG and structure-dependent phase offset.

We designed a multimode interference (MMI) coupler to use in vertical coupling of double layered polymeric waveguides and analyzed the coupling characteristics by comparing our experimental and simulation results. We found that our proposed new structure, a stepped MMI coupler, is effective in vertical coupling between waveguide layers with a short length of MMI and has a high tolerance for the variation in the structure of an MMI coupler that can be induced as errors in the fabrication process.

Submicron gratings are fabricated holographically on thin film single mode and multimode waveguides. Thin film waveguides are made by spin-coating polyurethane solution on the substrates of microscope slide glass and Corning 7059 glass. In order to characterize thin film waveguides, the refract사e index and the thickness of thin films are measured by using the m-line spectroscopy. The fabricated gratings are tested as a grating coupler, a mode converter, and a beam splitter. Also chirped gratings are fabricated to observe beam expansion phenomena and thus the possibility of the wavelength demultiplexing.
