Optical discs' capacity has increased. In case of Blu-Disc, it can store data up to 25 GB. Due to the large capacity, it can substitute tape devices for the use of backup. However, optical discs' surfaces are exposed so that it can lose data easily by exterior damages like scratches. Therefore additional reliability must be provided to maintain data for a long time. In this paper, we suggest a writing technique that gives optical discs additional reliability. Redundant data, generated by LDPC codes, are stored in disc along with the original data. These original data and redundant data are scattered over the disc to avoid losing a large part of data with one scratch. By deploying data with the distance that provides the reliability a user wants, we can enhance optical discs' reliability.

Optical tweezers are a tool that can use a tightly focused laser beam to trap and manipulate micron-sized dielectric particles that are immersed in a medium with lower refractive index. In this paper, the calculation of the trapping force of optical tweezers is presented. A nonparaxial Gaussian beam is used to represent a tightly focused Gaussian beam, and the FDTD (Finite-Difference Time-Domain) method is used for computing the electromagnetic field distributions in the dielectric medium. Scattered-field formulation is used for analytical expression of the incident fields. Using the electromagnetic field distribution from FDTD simulation, the trapping force is calculated based on Maxwell's stress tensor.

As the quantum volume increases, we are about to use quantum computers for real applications. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate how much quantum-computational gain is achievable in the near future. In this work, we analyze a fault-tolerant quantum computing method for near-term applications such as the ground-state estimation problem. Based on quantitative analysis, we find that it is still necessary to improve the current fault-tolerant quantum computing. This work also discusses which parts should be improved to improve quantum computing performance.

The use of the A' for the path search of the agent in the game map give the overhead of computing time in real time game processing. The other heuristic search algorithms do not guarantee the optical path. The route table of which the row is defined by current position, goal position, visiting position is presented in this paper. This route table is made in the game development phase and tilized in game playing. The visiting position which is contatined in the optimal path to the goal position from the current position can guarantee the optical path, and this mothod has no overhead on computing time. But the memory space is requred too much. This problem can also be solved using the data compression by skipping the duplicated route table.

Images obtained from underwater are usually degraded due to the environmental conditions. Some of the typical degradation factors include turbidity and color degradation. These degradations can be attributed to the absorptive and scattering properties of underwater degradation in terms of optical parameters, such as modulation transfer function (MTF), optical transfer function (OTF),point spread function (PSF), and color constancy. In this paper, we use the CODE V optical simulation software to mimic underwater conditions and model the imaging platform, thereby studying various parameters, such as PSF and MTF, and we use the PSF to remove the underwater turbidity. Experimental results show increased performance with the algorithm, compared to other existing methods.

As processor design has been transiting from homogeneous multicore processor to heterogeneous multicore processor, traditional Amdahl's law cannot meet the new challenges for asymmetric multicore system. In order to further investigate the impact factors related to the Overhead of Data Preparation (ODP) for Asymmetric multicore systems, we evaluate an asymmetric multicore system built with CPU-GPU by measuring the overheads of memory transfer, computing kernel, cache missing and synchronization. This paper demonstrates that decreasing the overhead of data preparation is a promising approach to improve the whole performance of heterogeneous system.

The pulmonary function test (PFT) is an essential data source for evaluating the effect of drugs on the lungs or the status of lung function. However, the numeric values of PFT cannot be easily used for clinical studies without labor-intensive manual efforts, because PFTs are usually recorded as image files. This study was aimed at constructing a de-identified, open-access PFT database with various clinical information. For constructing the PFT database, optical character recognition (OCR), regular expression, and the parsing technique were used to extract alphanumeric data from the PFT images in a Korean tertiary teaching hospital. This longitudinal observational database contains 413,000 measurements of PFT from 183,000 patients.

Structures, fabrication, and characteristics of top-surface-emitting GaAs four quantum well microlaser are described. The microlasers have good room-temperautre CW characteristivs. The maximum CW laser output is >3mW from a 30 $\mu\textrm{m}$ diameter microlaser and the maximum differential quantum efficiency is >70% from a 10 $\mu\textrm{m}$ diameter microlaser. Active surface emitting laser logic devices are designed and fabricated as a discrete version of a top-surface-emitting laser and heterojunction phototransistor. The active surface emitting laser logic device have high optical gain (>20 overall, >200 differential) and very high on/off ratio. Two-dimensional arrays of top-surface-emitting microlasers and active surface emitting laser logic devices will be critical elements for optical computing, photonic switching and neural network applications.

Minimizing power consumption in bandwidth limited optical traffic grooming networks is presented as a two-objective optimization problem. Since the main objective is to route a connection, the network throughput is maximized first, and then the minimum power consumption solution is found for this maximized throughput. Both transparent IP over WDM (Tp-IPoWDM) and translucent IP over WDM (Tl-IPoWDM) network may be applied to examine such bi-objective algorithms. Simulations show that the bi-objective algorithms are more energy-efficient than the single objective algorithms where only the throughput is optimized. For a Tp-IPoWDM network, both link based ILP (LB-ILP) and path based ILP (PB-ILP) methods are formulated and solved. Simulation results show that PB-ILP can save more power than LB-ILP because PB-ILP has more path selections when lightpath lengths are limited. For a Tl-IPoWDM network, only PB-ILP is formulated and we show that the Tl-IPoWDM network consumes less energy than the Tp-IPoWDM network, especially under a sparse network topology. For both kinds of networks, it is shown that network energy efficiency can be improved by over-provisioning wavelengths, which gives the network more path choices.
