We numerically investigate the effect of sunlight polarization on the absorption efficiency of V-shaped organic solar cells (VOSCs) using the finite element method (FEM). The spectral distribution of absorbance and the spatial distribution of power dissipation are calculated as a function of the folding angle for s-and p-polarized light. The absorption enhancement caused by the light-trapping effect was more pronounced for s-polarized light at folding angles smaller than $20^{\circ}$, where s-polarized light has a relatively larger reflectance than p-polarized light. On the other hand, the absorption efficiency for p-polarized light is relatively larger for folding angles larger than $20^{\circ}$, where the smaller reflectance at the interface of the VOSC is more important in obtaining high absorption efficiency.

DCG(dichromated gelatin : 7.mu.m 두께) 필름을 이용하여 홀로그래픽 편광분리(Holographic Polarization Separation : HPS)소자를 설계 제작하였다. 제작한 HPS소자의 편광특성을 노출시간, 입사각, 편광각 등의 몇가지 물리적 변수들을 이용하여 조사하였다. 실험결과가 Kogelnik의 결합 파동이론에 기초한 이론적 결과와 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었다. 제작한 HPS소자는 633 nm 파장에서 편광 회절 강도비가 500:1(S편광:P편광)이상이였다. 또한 HPS소자의 광 스위치 및 자유공간 광 연결소자로서의 응용 가능성을 제시하였다.

광 폴리머(photopolymer)에 의한 편광 회전과 제작된 격자에서 나타나는 회절효율의 불안정을 분석하였으며, 특히 반사형 광 폴리머의 내부 복굴절(birefringence)에 의해 회절효율의 변화가 발생함을 밝혔다. 광 폴리머를 지지하고 있는 Mylar 기판(base sheet)은 고분자 물질로, 가공 중에 발생한 연신에 의해 복굴절이 발생하여 밤의 편광 상태를 회전시킴으로써 격자의 회절효율을 불안정하게 만드는 원인이 된다. Mylar 기판을 통과하는 빔의 편광 상태를 감광성이 없는 He-Ne 레이저를 사용하여 유리판 위에 접촉된 상태에서 방향을 조절하여 광원의 편광 상태와 평행하게 고정시킬 수 있었으며, 이로 인해 매우 안정적인 회절효율을 갖는 회절격자를 제작할 수 있었다.

We report the diffraction behavior of the functionalized sol-gel film composed of two different silanes. One silane (SGDR1) contains disperse red 1 (DR1) that is composed of an azobenzene unit. The other silane (SGCHC) bears a chalcone derivative that is photocrosslinkable under UV irradiation. Two-beam coupling method was employed for fabricating the diffraction gratings. The dynamics of formation and erasure of the gratings was studied in term of the variation of the diffraction efficiency. The decaying behavior of the polarization efficiency was also observed after turning off the two pump beams. For complete erasure of the diffraction gratings, we irradiated the linearly polarized single beam. During two-beam coupling, we irradiated UV light on the film surface. The effects of the photocrosslink between the double bonds in chalcone units on the value and dynamic properties of diffraction efficiency are mainly studied in this work.

Since conflicting results have been reported on non-specific immune response in type 1 diabetes, this study evaluates polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) functions in the infection free Long Evan diabetic rats (type 1) by using tests that include: polarization assay, phagocytosis of baker's yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) dye reduction. Polarization assay showed that neutrophils from diabetic rats were significantly activated at the basal level compared to those from the controls (p < 0.001). After PMN activation with N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP), control neutrophils were found to be more polarized than those of the diabetic neutrophils and the highest proportions of polarization were found to be 67% and 57% at $10^{-7}\;M$ FMLP, respectively. In the resting state, neutrophils from the diabetic rats reduced significantly more NBT dye than that of the controls (p < 0.001). The percentages of phagocytosis of opsonized yeast cells by the neutrophils from control and diabetic rats were 87% and 61%, respectively and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Evaluation of the phagocytic efficiency of PMNs revealed that control neutrophils could phagocytose $381{\pm}17$ whereas those from the diabetic rats phagocytosed $282{\pm}16$ yeast cells, and the efficiency of phagocytosis varied significantly (p < 0.001). Further, both the percentages of phagocytosis and the efficiency of phagocytosis by the diabetic neutrophils were inversely related with the levels of their corresponding plasma glucose (p = 0.02; r = -0.498 and p < 0.05; r = -0.43, respectively), which indicated that increased plasma glucose reduced the phagocytic ability of neutrophils. Such relationship was not observed with the control neutrophils. These data clearly indicate that PMN functions are altered in the streptozotocin (STZ) - induced diabetic rats, and hyperglycemia may be the cause for the impairment of their functions leading to many infectious episodes.

A diffraction limited optical system for head mounted displays (HMDs) was designed. This optical system consists of four modules, including 1:5 mm and 5:30 mm beam expanders, polarization grating-polarization conversion system (PG-PCS) and refractive/diffractive projection optical module. The PG-PCS module transforms the unpolarized Gaussian beam to a linearly polarized beam and it simultaneously homogenizes the spatial intensity profile. The optical projector module has a $30^{\circ}$ field of view, a 22 mm eye relief, and a 10 mm exit pupil diameter with a compact structure. Common acrylic materials were utilized in the optical design process; therefore, the final optical system was lightweight. The whole optical system is suitable for a 0.7 inch liquid crystal on silicon microdisplay (LCOS) with HDTV resolution ($1920{\times}1080$) and $8.0{\mu}m$ pixel pitch.

This article presents techniques for improved estimation of symbol timing offset (STO) and carrier frequency offset (CFO) for dual-polarization (DP) orthogonal frequency division multiplex (DP-OFDM) systems. Recently, quaternion multiple-input multiple-output OFDM has been proposed for high spectral efficiency communication systems, which can flexibly explore different types of diversities such as space, time, frequency, and polarization. This article focuses on synchronization techniques for DP-OFDM systems using a cyclic prefix, where the application of quaternion algebra leads to new improved estimators. Simulations performed for DP system methods show faster reduction of STO estimator variance with a double-slope line in the logvariance line versus signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) plot compared with singlepolarization (SP) counterparts, and simulations for CFO estimates show a 3-dB gain of DP over SP estimates for same SNR values defined, respectively, for quaternion-valued or complex-valued signals. Cramer-Rao bounds for STO and CFO are derived for the synchronization methods, correlating with the observed gains of DP over SP OFDM systems.

In orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems, phase noise introduced by the local oscillators can cause bit error rate (BER) performance degradation. To solve the phase noise problem, a novel orthogonal-polarization-based phase noise self-cancellation (OP-PNSC) scheme is proposed. First, the efficiency of canceling the phase noise of the OP-PNSC scheme in the AWGN channel is investigated. Then, the OP-PNSC scheme in the polarization-dependent loss (PDL) channel is investigated due to power imbalance caused by PDL, and a PDL pre-compensated OP-PNSC (PPC -OP-PNSC) scheme is proposed to mitigate the power imbalance caused by PDL. In addition, the performance of the PPC-OP-PNSC scheme is investigated, where the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) and spectral efficiency (SE) performances are analyzed. Finally, a comparison between the OP-PNSC and polarization diversity scheme is discussed. The numerical results show that the BER and SINR performances of the OP-PNSC scheme outperform the case with the phase noise compensation and phase noise self-cancellation scheme.
