An optical ROM card system which using an optical probe array generated by Talbot effect was proposed as new robust storage solution. To improve the optical density and to decrease the power consumption of the system, it is very important to make the spot sizes of optical probes smaller as well as to increase the optical efficiency from the light source to optical probes. In this study, a microlens illuminated aperture array for generating high efficiency optical probe away with small beam spot was designed and fabricated using monolithic lithography integration method. The maximum intensity of optical probes of microlens illuminated aperture array increased about 12 times of that of aperture array, and the full width half maximum of the optical probe at Talbot plane generated by microlens illuminated aperture array was $0.77{\mu}m$.

Optical wireless power transmission (OWPT) is a good candidate for long-distance underwater wireless power transmission. In this work we investigate the transmission efficiency of underwater OWPT, depending on the operating wavelength. We consider four operating wavelengths: infrared, red, green, and blue. We also consider the cases of pure water and sea water for the working conditions. Our results show that it is necessary to select the operating wavelength of underwater OWPT according to the transmission distance and water type of the target application.

An optical model based on the optical thin-film theory is derived to calculate the output radiance of small molecules organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). We have designed the high efficiency OLEDs using the reflectance phase control of dielectric layers. It is found that OLED with a single $TiO_2$ dielectric layer is a good candidate to enhance the outcoupling efficiency and increase the color purity.

종단방출형 광위상배열장치에 주입된 광신호는 장치 내부의 도파로를 따라서 전파되어 안테나 끝단에서 외부로 방출되는데 이 경계면에서 반사와 산란이 발생하여 광신호의 방출효율이 감소하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이 방출효율을 증가시키기 위하여 끝단으로 갈수록 폭이 가늘어지는 도파관 안테나를 연구하였다. 도파로는 폭이 2 ㎛, 높이가 0.5 ㎛인 실리콘 나이트라이드를 고려하였으며, 도파로의 끝단을 폭이 가늘어지는 도파관 안테나 구조로 변경한 결과 신호의 방출효율은 78%에서 96.3%까지 증가하고 반사율은 22%에서 3.7%까지 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 이를 통해 종단방출형 광위상배열장치의 광신호의 세기를 증가시킬 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 도파로를 따라 반사되는 후방반사에 따른 노이즈의 영향도 줄일 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Daylighting has a very effective role in reducing power consumption and improving indoor environments in office buildings. Previously, it was not under consideration as a major source of renewable energy due to poor reliability in the design. Optical fiber as a transmission medium in the daylighting system demands uniform distribution of light to solve cost, heat, and efficiency issues. Therefore, this study focuses on the uniform distribution of sunlight through the fiber bundle and to the interior of the building. To this end, two efficient approaches for the fiber-based daylighting system are presented. The first approach consists of a parabolic mirror, and the second approach contains a Fresnel lens. Sunlight is captured, guided, and distributed through the concentrator, optical fibers, and lenses, respectively. At the capturing stage, uniform illumination solves the heat problem, which has critical importance in making the system cost-effective by introducing plastic optical fibers. The efficiency of the system is increased by collimated light, which helps to insert maximum light into the optical fibers. Furthermore, we find that the hybrid system of combining sunlight and light emitting diode light gives better illumination levels than that of traditional lighting systems. Simulation and experimental results have shown that the efficiency of the system is better than previous fiber-based daylighting systems.

Optical structures of a tapered ultra-thin light guide film (LGF) were optimized by optical simulation for increasing coupling efficiency between light sources and the LGF. A serration pattern on the entrance side surface could provide a comparable coupling efficiency to that of the conventional LGF where a linear, asymmetric prism array was formed on the taper surface. Several micro-patterns were applied to the top and/or bottom surface of the LGF for achieving better luminance property, and it was found that an optimized micro-pyramid pattern exhibited the highest average luminance together with satisfactory luminance uniformity.

LED나 laser diode와 optical fiber의 coupling efficiency를 높이기 위해서는 lens의 곡율반경을 작게 하는 것이 효과적이다. 본 연구에서는 heating and pulling 반경에 의한 tapered lens를 고안함으로써 최적 size의 lens 제작을 용이하게 하였으며, taper의 특성을 이용하여 고효율 coupling을 가능하게 하였다. 이론적 계산에 의하여 90%까지의 light coupling이 가능함을 보였으며, 실험결과 flat end에 대한 improvement factor는 LED에서 3dB, laser diode에서 6dB까지 증가시킬 수 있었다. epoxy를 사용하여 LED에 pigital을 부착한 결과 온도특성 및 기계적 안정성에서 실용화에 충분할 정도로 우수하였다.

A power-adjustable fully-integrated CMOS optical receiver with multi-rate clock-and-data recovery circuit is presented in standard 65-nm CMOS technology. With supply voltage scaling, key features of the optical receiver such as bandwidth, power efficiency, and optical sensitivity can be automatically optimized according to the bit rates. The prototype receiver has −23.7 dBm to −15.4 dBm of optical sensitivity for 10⁻⁹ bit error rate with constant conversion gain around all target bit rates from 1.62Gbps to 8.1 Gbps. Power efficiency is less than 9.3 pJ/bit over all operating ranges.
