We demonstrate the blue InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with an embedded air-gap photonic crystal (PC) which was fabricated by the lateral epitaxial overgrowth of GaN layer on the tungsten (W) nano-masks. The periodic air-gap PC was formed by the chemical reaction of hydrogen with GaN on the W nano-mask. The optical output power of LEDs with an air-gap PC was increased by 26% compared to LEDs without an air-gap PC. The enhanced optical output power was attributed to the improvement in internal quantum efficiency and light extraction efficiency by the air-gap PC embedded in GaN layer.

We have theoretically analyzed the monolithic integration of vertical cavity lasers with depleted optical thyristor (VCL-DOT) structure and experimentally demonstrated optical logic gates such as AND-gate, OR-gate, and INVERTER implemented by VCL-DOT for an optical programmable gate array. The optical AND and OR gates have been realized by changing a input bias of the single VCL-DOTs and all kinds of optical logic functions are also implemented by adjusting an intensity of the reference input beams into the differential VCL-DOTs. To achieve the high sensitivity, high slope efficiency and low threshold current, a small active region of lasing part and a wide detecting area are simultaneously designed by using a selective oxidation process. The fabricated devices clearly show nonlinear s-shaped current-voltage characteristics and lasing characteristics of a low threshold current with 0.65 mA and output spectrum at 854 nm.

미세 광학 벤치의 설계를 위해서 두 가지 테스트 벤치에 대해 결합효율을 계산하였다. 광섬유로 들어오고 나가게 되는 빛을 볼 렌즈를 통과한 것과 그렇지 않은 것으로 설계하였다. 미세 광학 벤치의 실제 제작 과정에서 발생할 수 있는 광소자들의 위치 에러를 고려하여 시뮬레이션을 하였고, 그것들의 허용오차를 -3 ㏈ 조건으로 정하였다. 볼 렌즈가 없는 fiber-to-fiber에서는 lateral misalignment가 2.7 um 그리고 tilt 에러가 5.8o 이내로 나타났다. 각각의 광섬유 앞단에 광의 집속을 위해 볼 렌즈가 놓여지면 working distance는 60 um로 확장되어지나, 각각의 광소자들이 놓여진 위치 파라미터 사이에 보다 강한 교호작용이 존재하기 때문에 tolerance design을 위해 교호작용을 함께 고려해야 한다.

본 연구에서는 좁은 지향각, 높은 최대 중심광도를 갖는 탐조등 광학계 설계 기술 연구를 진행하였다. 기존 탐조등 광원인 할로겐램프와 제논램프는 진동과 충격에 취약하며, 크기가 크고 무거워 운반에 많은 어려움이 있다. 또한 탐조등 후면부에 위치한 포물경은 제작 시 광원과 조립 오차에 따른 성능 저하와 낮은 광 효율의 단점을 지니고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 1 kW 할로겐램프를 150 W급 고출력 COB LED로 대체하고 목표 성능을 만족하기 위한 고효율 TIR 렌즈를 설계하였다. 이후 광학계 사출 시 발생하는 표면 오차를 해결하는 방안으로 TIR 렌즈 어레이를 제시하여 제작 신뢰성을 확보하였다. 설계된 광학계를 바탕으로 시제품을 제작한 후 시중 할로겐램프 탐조등과 성능을 비교하여 광학 성능의 우수함을 확인하였다.

We have carry out numerical simulation of the electric-optical characteristics of organic light emitting diodes with gradient-doped emitting layer which were reported to be effective in improving luminous efficiency and lifetime. In this paper, the basic structure is comprised of ITO/NPB/$Alq_3$:C545T[%]/$Alq_3$/LiF/Al, six devices by separating the emitting layer of $Alq_3$:C545T[%] were studied. As the result, the uniformly-doped devices exhibited superior luminous efficiency-current density characteristics over conventional undoped device. In the case of gradient-doped devices, electric-optical characteristics were improved similar to uniformed-doped devices, unusually the distribution of traped-charge density in the OLED devices was shown as the staircase.

The purpose of this project is the synthesis of dihydrosilole and its optical characterization for their applications. Dihydrosilole was synthesized from the reduction reaction of either dichlorosilole or chlorohydrosilole with lithium aluminium hydride. The reaction yield for the dihydrosilole through the latter method was higher. The optical characteristics and AIEE effect of dihydrosilole nanoaggregates was investigated for the purpose of increasing the photoluminescence efficiency. Photoluminescence efficiency of dihydrosilole nanoaggregates increased about 100 times compared to that of molecular state.

Photoelectrochemical solar cells such as dye-sensitized cells (DSSCs), which exhibit high performance and are cost-effective, provide an alternative to conventional p-n junction photovoltaic devices. However, the efficiency of such cells plateaus at 11~12%, in contrast to their theoretical value of 33%. The majority of research has focused on improving energy conversion efficiency of DSSC by controlling nanostructure and exploiting new materials in photoelectrode consisting of semiconducting oxide nanoparticles and a transparent conducting oxide electrode (TCO). In this presentation, we introduce monodisperesed TiO2 nanoparticles prepared by forced hydrolysis method and their superiority as photoelectrode materials was characterized with aids of optical and electrochemical analysis. Inverse opal-based scattering layers containing highly crystalline anatase nanoparticles are also introduced and their feasibility for use as bi-functional light scattering layer is discussed in terms of optical reflectance and charge generation properties as a function of optical wavelength.

Terahertz (THz) generation by a GaP ridge waveguide with a collinear modal phase-matching scheme based on cascaded difference frequency generation (DFG) processes is theoretically analyzed. The cascaded Stokes interaction processes and the cascaded anti-Stokes interaction processes are investigated from coupled wave equations. THz intensities and quantum conversion efficiency are calculated. Compared with non-cascaded DFG processes, THz intensities from 11-order cascaded DFG processes are increased to 5.48. The quantum conversion efficiency of 177.9% in cascaded processes can be realized, exceeding the Manley-Rowe limit.

We created a new design for an Nd-doped clad-pumped silica fiber laser to enhance the pump absorption and lasing efficiency for a butt-coupled, end-pumped scheme. Two concatenated adiabatic tapers formed within the laser cavity simultaneously removed higher order modes and were spliced to conventional single mode fibers. We theoretically analyzed mode propagation along the composite cavity and experimentally achieved continuous wave oscillation in the $LP_{01}$ mode at $1.06\;{\mu}m$ and a laser output power of over 820 mW with a slope efficiency of 27%.

Diffraction gratings were designed to generate multiple beams for the real-time optical interconnection in free-space using a liquid crsytal television. Multi-level phase gratings consisted of stepped phase value, 0 to 2$\pi$, and generate a 5$\times$5 spot array, and V-shaped spot patterns which have a maximum diffraction efficiency of 78.84%. Simulated annealing technique was used to determine phase states of each pixel having uniform intensity and high diffraction efficiency. Through the optical interconnection experiments, we compared the diffraction characteristics of beam paterns obtained by binary-level, four-level, and eight-level phase gratings.
