Currently, various optical fiber tips are used to deliver laser beam for endoscopic surgery. In this paper, we demonstrated multidirectional (forward and side) firing optical fiber tip using a femtosecond micromachining and $CO_2$ laser polishing technology. We controlled the edge width of optical fiber tip, by modulating the condition of $CO_2$ laser, to regulate the amount of side and forward emission. The distal end of the optical fiber with core/clad diameter of $400/440{\mu}m$ was microstructured with cone shape by using a femtosecond laser. And then the microstructured optical fiber tip was polished by $CO_2$ laser beam result in smoothing and specular reflection at the surface of the cone structure. Finally, we operated the LightTools simulation and good agreement was generally found between the proposed model and experimental simulation.

측면연마된 광섬유와 광기능성 색소가 분산된 평면도파로 결합기를 이용한 새로운 형태의 자외선 센서를 제작하여 그 특성을 측정하였다. 자외선 조사에 의해 유효굴절률이 변화하는 광변색성 색소가 분산된 폴리머를 평면 도파로 재료로 사용하였다. 박막 광도파로는 광변색성 색소인 스파이록사진을 사용하였다. 자외선 조사시간을 20초, 30초, 40초로 증가시켰을 경우 센서의 파장응답은 1.44nm/mW, 1.64nm/mW, 1.78nm/mW였고 1550nm 파장에서 센서의 90% 복귀시간은 100초로 나타났다.

단일모드 광섬유와 평면도파로 결합기의 공진파장이 이동하는 현상을 이용한 새로운 형태의 압력센서를 구현하였다. 압력변화에 따른 폴리머 유효굴절률의 변화로 공진파장이 이동함을 관찰할 수 있었고 평면도파로 물질에 따라 센서의 감도를 조절할 수 있었다. 대칭적 구조의 평면도파로를 형성하여 광섬유의 측면연마 공정시 생기는 편광의존성을 제거하였다. 평면도파로 물질로는 AZ4562, AZ1512 그리고 THB-30이 사용되었으며 압력에 의한 공진파장의 이동은 각각 -0.008nm/bar, 0.033nm/bar, 0.16nm/bar로 나타났다.

광기능성 색소가 분산된 평면도파로 결합기와 측면연마된 광섬유를 이용한 자외선 센서를 제작하여 광강도 변화에 따른 감도특성을 측정하였다. 광변색성 색소인 스파이록사진이 분간된 폴리머를 평면도파로로 사용하였다. 조사되는 자외선의 강도와 시간에 의해 유효굴절률이 변화하는 성질을 이용하였다. 자외선 조사시간을 3 초와 5 초로 고정한 상태에서 자외선 조사강도를 점차 증가시켰을 때 센서감도가 자각 $1.21{\mu}W/mw$와 $2.75{\mu}W/mw$로 나타났다. 자외선 조사 강도에 따른 출력 광강도의 변화를 측정한 결과 자외선 강도가 클수록 출력 광강도도 증가하고 포화시간은 단축됨을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 히팅용 전극이 코팅된 측면 연마된 광섬유 브래그 격자를 이용한 광학적 RF 실시간 지연을 제안하고 제작하였다. 이 소자는 기계적인 움직임이나 진동 없이 전압에 의하여 연속적으로 정밀하게 시간 지연값을 제어할 수 있는 특징을 갖는다. 전극에 인가되는 전압에 의해 유발되는 열광학효과를 통하여 광섬유 격자로부터 반사되는 광신호의 반사 위치를 변화시킴으로써 광신호에 변조용 신호로 실려서 전달되는 RF 신호의 시간 지연을 조절할 수 있다. 측정된 최대 시간 지연은 소비 전력이 280 mW일 때 약100 ps이다.

본 논문에서는 측면이 연마된 단일모드 광섬유와 폴리머 다중 평면도파로가 결합했을 때 발생하는 모드 결합현상을 이용한 능동형 광결합기를 연구하였다. 제안된 소자는 파장가변 광필터나 광변조기로 이용할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 광도파로 물질의 굴절률, 복굴절, 전기광학 계수, 열광학 계수 등을 측정하는 도구로 응용할 수 있다. BPM으로 최적화된 결합기를 설계하였고, 열광학 폴리머를 능동 평면 도파로층으로 이용하여 결합기를 제작하였다. 제작된 소자는 -0.5dB 이하 손실, 공진파장 -13dB 소멸비. 그리고 열광학 효과에 의해 -1.5nm/$^{\circ}C$ 정도의 파장 가변성을 보였다. 본 연구의 결과로 볼 때 열광학 능동형 광결합기는 광변조기, 파장가변 광필터, 광센서 등으로 이용될 가능성이 높다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the reflector, surface treatment, and length of scintillation crystals on the performance of a time-of-flight and depth-of-interaction (TOF-DOI) PET detector with a dual-ended readout and to determine the best reflector and surface treatment. Various types of crystal arrays with three different reflectors (ESR, BaSO₄, and Toray), three different lateral surface treatments (all-polished (AP), all-roughened (AR), and partially roughened (PR, three sides polished, and one side roughened)), and two different lengths (20 and 15 mm) were fabricated. The highest light collection efficiency and best energy resolution were achieved using a crystal with a diffuse reflector (BaSO₄ for AP and Toray for AR). In contrast, the best coincidence timing resolution (CTR) was achieved using an AR crystal with a specular reflector (ESR). The best DOI resolution was achieved using an AR crystal with BaSO₄. Moreover, the results measured with the 20 mm long crystals were similar to those measured with the 15 mm long crystals. Therefore, we concluded that the dual-ended readout PET detector employing the crystal with AR lateral surface treatment and ESR was a good candidate for TOF-DOI PET because it provided excellent CTR and adequate DOI resolution.

The characterization of the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process for undensified phophosilicate glass (PSG) film is reported using design of experiments (DOE). DOE has been used by experimenters to understand the relationship between the input variables and responses of interest in a simple and efficient way, and it typically is beneficial for determining the appropriatesize of experiments with multiple process variables and making statistical inferences for the responses of interest. The equipment controllable parameters used to operate the machine consist of the down force of the wafer carrier, pressure on the back side wafer, table and spindle speeds (SS), slurry flow (SF) rate, pad condition, etc. None of these are independent ofeach other and, thus, the interaction between the parameters also needs to be understoodfor improved process characterization in CMP. In this study, we selected the five controllable equipment parameters the most recommendedby process engineers, viz. the down force (DF), back pressure (BP), table speed (TS), SS, and SF, for the characterization of the CMP process with respect to the material removal rate and film uniformity in percentage terms. The polished material is undensified PSG which is widely used for the plananization of multi-layered metal interconnects. By statistical modeling and the analysis of the metrology data acquired from a series of $2^{5-1}$ fractional factorial designs with two center points, we showed that the DF, BP and TS have the greatest effect on both the removal rate and film uniformity, as expected. It is revealed that the film uniformity of the polished PSG film contains two and three-way interactions. Therefore, one can easily infer that process control based on a better understanding of the process is the key to success in current semiconductor manufacturing, in which the size of the wafer is approaching 300 mm and is scheduled to continuously increase up to 450 mm in or slightly after 2012.

Several explanations exist about the usage of disk-shaped bronze implements in the ancient society. Some argue that they were used as mirrors, others suggest percussion instruments, and still others bronze ornaments. Differences between disk-shaped bronze implements and mirrors with multiple knobs are that the former have no visible design, only one handle, and a sharp curvature unlike the latter with smooth curvature. The question is whether disk-shaped bronze implements excavated from Korean peninsula have any light reflecting function. To answer this question, I carefully studied the concave surfaces of disk-shaped bronze implements excavated from Goejeong-dong, Tongso-ri and Hapsong-ri sites. The main findings are as follows: (1) The concave sides of the disk-shaped bronze implements excavated from Goejeong-dong and Tongso-ri sites were highly polished, and they were as reflective as bronze mirrors. (2) The concave side of the disk-shaped bronze implement from Hapsong-ri site was unpolished, and it was different from bronze mirrors. (3) As for the convex sides of the disk-shaped bronze implements, they did not appear to have been polished with care. Considering the above findings, the disk-shaped bronze implements excavated from Goejeong-dong and Tongso-ri sites belong to the stage where they could act as both mirrors and instruments. On the contrary, the disk-shaped bronze implement from Hapsong-ri site can belong to the stage where it lost the function of being a mirror as the result of maintaining only its function as an instrument. Even though disk-shaped implements had two functions, it can be considered that the light reflecting function expanded the role of a mirror with multiple knobs and the sound function helped the engraved round bronze implement to be converted into an eight-armed bronze rattle. Since it has been reported that shamans used bronze mirrors as percussion instruments in their performances in Korean peninsula and Siberia, I propose a reconsideration of the usage of mirrors in the ancient East Asia. Although the essential function of a mirror is to reflect light, other possible usages involving important functions need to be further investigated.
