The pixel size in high-resolution complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors continues to shrink due to chip size limitations. However, the pixel pitch's miniaturization causes deterioration of optical performance. As one solution, a quad color filter (CF) array with pixel binning has been developed to enhance sensitivity. For high sensitivity, the microlens structure also needs to be optimized as the CF arrays change. In this paper, the covered microlens, which consist of four microlenses covered by one large microlens, are proposed for the quad CF array in the backside illumination pixel structure. To evaluate the optical performance, the suggested microlens structure was simulated from 0.5 ㎛ to 1.0 ㎛ pixels at the center and edge of the sensors. Moreover, all pixel structures were compared with and without in-pixel deep trench isolation (DTI), which works to distribute incident light uniformly into each photodiode. The suggested structure was evaluated with an optical simulation using the finite-difference time-domain method for numerical analysis of the optical characteristics. Compared to the conventional microlens, the suggested microlens show 29.1% and 33.9% maximum enhancement of sensitivity at the center and edge of the sensor, respectively. Therefore, the covered microlens demonstrated the highly sensitive image sensor with a quad CF array.

GOCI(Geostationary Ocean Color Imager) 표준자료의 지속적인 품질관리를 위해서는 위성 운용기간 중 궤도상 복사보정, 대기보정 단계를 거쳐야 되며 해수환경 분석 알고리즘에 대한 검보정도 지속적으로 이루어져야 한다. GOCI의 복사, 대기, 해양환경 자료에 대한 검보정은 부이나 고정 플랫폼을 이용한 수온, 염분, 해수 광특성, 형광, 및 탁도 관측과, 주기적으로 해양환경 자료 수집을 통하여 실시한다. 이를 위하여 동중국해에 위치하고 있는 이어도 종합해양과학기지에 설치된 광학 관측 장비와 현장 관측의 복사자료를 상호 비교해 보았으며, GOCI 표준자료의 검정에 앞서 SeaWiFS 복사량과 비교하여 검정하였다. 해수출 광량은 현장관측에서 얻어진 광과 광량과는 약간의 차이를 보였지만, 흡광영역이 매우 잘 일치하고 있으며 스펙트럴 이동은 없는 것으로 판단된다. 이어도 종합해양과학기지의 분광측정기와 SeaWiFS의 전 밴드에서 얻어진 해수출 광량을 비교한 결과 평균 25% 정도의 에러가 발생했지만, 대기보정 밴드를 제외하면 절대오차가 11% 정도로 상당히 낮아진다. 이것은 SeaWiFS 표준 대기보정 방법의 문제점으로 GOCI 검보정 연구에서 고려되어 보완 되어야 할 것으로 판단된다. 이와 더불어 독도 지역의 표준 관측치(Reference Target Site) 구축을 통한 검보정 연구를 위하여, 독도 주변 해수의 광 특성과 해양환경 자료는 2009년 8월과 2009년 10월 2차례에 걸쳐서 현장관측을 실시하였다. 독도 주변 해역의 해양 광 특성은 원격반사도의 스펙트럼형태를 기준으로 Case-1 Water 성향이 강한 해수에서 나타나는 특성과 매우 유사하였다. 식물플랑크톤, 부유물질, 용존유기물의 흡광계수 스펙트럼의 형태들은 대체적으로 각 성분별 흡광 스펙트럼 특성을 잘 보여주었다. 또한 MODIS Aqua로부터 산출된 엽록소 농도와 현장관측을 통한 검증에서 위성자료 값들은 잘 일치한다. 위와 같이 현재 진행되고 있는 GOCI 검보정 연구를 통해서 복사, 대기, 해양환경 알고리즘에 대한 문제점이 도출되었고, 차후 검보정 계획에 반영하여 이 부분들에 대한 개선 및 보완이 이루어질 것으로 판단된다.

본 논문에서는 거친 바다표면의 마이크로파 반사를 계산할 수 있는 이론적 모델의 정확도를 검증한다. 우선 Pierson-Moskowitz 해양 스펙트럼을 이용하여 거친 바다표면을 생성하였다. 생성된 바다표면의 유의파고와 유효높이(root-mean square height)값을 추정하여 풍속에 따른 유의파고, 유효높이 관계식을 유도하였고, 다른 측정 데이터들과 비교하였다. 수치해석적 방법을 이용하여 다양한 거칠기 조건(풍속)에서 생성된 바다표면의 반사계수를 계산하였고, 기존에 반사계수를 계산하기 위해 사용하는 이론적 모델인 Ament 모델, PO(Physical Optics) 모델, GO(Geometrical Optics) 모델, B-M(Brown-Miller) 모델과 비교하였다. 비교적 거칠기가 매우 낮은 경우($kh_{rms}$<0.4, k는 파수, $h_{rms}$는 RMS 높이) 외에는 Ament 모델은 정확하지 않았다. 또한 거칠기가 크지 않은 바다($kh_{rms}$<10)에서는 PO, GO, B-M 모델들의 정확도가 보장되지만, 풍속이 높아 거칠기가 높은 바다($kh_{rms}$>10)에서는 입사각이 $70^{\circ}$ 이하에서는 PO 모델과 GO 모델이 수치해석결과와 비교적 잘 일치하였으며, $80^{\circ}$ 이상에서는 B-M 모델이 수치해석 결과와 비교적 잘 일치함을 보였다.

The absorption coefficient and backscattering properties of phytoplankton were calculated from the Mie theory. Given a simple case that phytoplankton and mineral particles are the only constitutions in seawater, the reflectance $b_b({\lambda})/[a({\lambda})+b_b({\lambda})]$was analyzed. Then the chlorophyll concentrations were estimated from remote sensing OC2 algorithm. The results show that reflectance in short wavelength region is more sensitive to the Chl variation; High mineral concentrations in seawater have significant influence on the reflectance spectrum; the existence of high mineral concentration may result in the mistake in chlorophyll estimation from OC2 algorithm.

Recently, number of studies for porous silicon have been investigated by many researchers. Multistructured porous silicon (PSi), distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) PSi, has been a topic of interest, because of its unique optical properties. DBR PSi were prepared by an electrochemical etch of $P^{{+}{+}}$-type silicon wafer of resistivity between 0.1 $m{\Omega}cm$ with square wave current density, resulting two different refractive indices. In this work, We have fabricated a simple and portable organic vapor-sensing device based on DBR porous silicon and investigated the optical characteristics of DBR porous silicon. DBR porous silicon have been characterized by FT-IR, Ocean optics 2000 spectrometer. The device used DBR PSi chip has been demonstrated as an excellent gas sensor, showing a great senstivity to a toxic vapor (TEP, DMMP, DEEP) at room temperature.

Multi-functionalized rugate porous silicon (PSi) for biosensor was developed by hydrosilylation with silole and its further reaction with biotin groups. PSi was generated by an electrochemical etching of silicon wafer in aqueous ethanolic HF solution PSi prepared by using etching conditions showed that many sharp spectral lines can be obtained in the optical reflectivity spectrum. 1,1-hydrovinyl-2,3,4,5-tetraphenylsilole was obtained from the reaction of 1,1-dilithio-2,3,4,5-tetraphenyl-1,3-butadiene with dichlorovinylsilane. Multi-functionalized PSi with silole and biotin groups was characterized by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, Ocean optics 2000 spectrometer, and fluorescence spectroscopy. Optical characteristics such as reflectivity and photoluminescence (PL) were observed. An increase of the reflection wavelength in the reflectivity spectrum by 20 nm was observed, indicative of a change in refractive indices induced by hydrosilylation of the silole and biotin groups to the rugate PSi. This red-shift was attributed to the replacement of some of the Si-H group of fresh rugate PSi with silole and biotin group.

Multistructured porous silicon such as a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) PSi, has been a topic of interest, because of its unique optical properties. DBR PSi were prepared by using an electrochemical etch of $P{^+}{^+}$-type silicon wafer with resistivity between 0.1 and $10m{\Omega}cm$. The electrochemical etch with square wave current density results in two different refractive indices in the porous layer.

Free-standing multilayer distributed Bragg reflectors (DBR) porous silicon dielectric mirrors, prepared by electrochemical etching of crystalline silicon using square wave currents are treated with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) to produce flexible, stable composite materials in which the porous silicon matrix is covered with caffeine-impregnated PMMA. Optically encoded free-standing DBR PSi dielectric mirrors retain the optical reflectivity. Optical characteristics of free-standing DBR PSi dielectric mirrors are stable and robust for 24 hrs in a pH 12 aqueous buffer solution. The appearance of caffeine and change of DBR peak were simultaneously measured by UV-vis spectrometer and Ocean optics 2000 spectrometer, respectively.
