In this paper, a novel ultraviolet sensor is presented based on a photoluminescent porous silicon. Porous silicon layer was formed by chemical etching of surface of pn junction in a $HF(48%)-HNO_3(60%)-H_20$ solution. Incident ultraviolet(UV) light is converted to visible light by photoluminescent porous silicon layer, and then this visible light generates electron-hole pairs in the pn junction, which produces a photocurrent flow through the device. In order to maximize detection efficiency, the peak sensitivity wavelength of the pn junction diode was matched with the peak wavelength of Photoluminescence from porous silicon layer. The porous silicon ultraviolet sensor showed a large output current as UV intensity increases and but very low sensitivity to visible light. The detection sensitivity of porous silicon sensor was calculated as 2.91mA/mW. These results are expected to open up a possibility that the present porous silicon sensor can be used for detecting UV light in a visible background, compared to silicon UV detectors which have an undesirable response to visible light.

본 논문에서는 해양 환경에서 기후에 따른 가시광 무선통신 시스템에 대해 연구한다. 해양 환경에 적합한 대기 채널 모델인 Kim 모델을 이용하여 가시광 선명도에 따른 기후 조건을 맑음, 비, 폭풍, 안개로 구분하였고, OOK-NRZ 변조기법을 적용한 모의실험을 통해 기후 조건에 따른 BER 성능을 비교하였다. 또한 현장실험을 통해 실제로 가시광 통신에서 에러 비트를 측정하고 모의실험과 비교 분석을 통하여 해양 환경에서의 가시광 통신 유효성을 입증하였다.

종래의 LED(Light Emitting Diode) 조명을 사용한 가시광 통신에서 송수신기 회로 사이의 통신 거리가 증가함에 따라 가시광 채널의 페이딩과 채널의 경로손실 특성으로 인해 가시광 수신 회로의 포토다이오드에서 수신된 신호는 불규칙한 크기이며 감쇠된 특성을 가진다. 이런 문제점을 극복하기 위해, 이 논문에서는 가시광 통신의 통신거리 확장을 위해 반드시 필요한 거리 보상 회로가 내장된 비교기 문턱 전압 기반의 가시광 통신 회로를 제안하여 설계하고 가시광 시스템 시스템을 구현한다. 또한, 구현된 문턱값 기반 가시광 통신 시스템을 통신 거리와 통신 시스템 속도에 따라 종래 가시광 통신 시스템과 비교하여 제안된 방식시스템의 성능을 분석한다.

LED 기반 가시광 통신은 별도의 송수신 장비가 필요하고 광원의 범위에서만 통신이 가능한 특징이 있다. 또한 가시광 대역을 사용하여 주파수에 민감한 지역에서 사용이 가능한 장점이 있다. 이러한 장점과 특징을 응용하여 다양한 분야에 적용하기 위한 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 브로드캐스트 방법을 이용한 LED 기반 가시광 통신 시스템을 구현하고 기능을 검증하였다.

ZnO thin films on (001) sapphire substrates have been deposited by pulsed laser deposition(PLD) technique for light emitting device applications. We have controlled the emission intensity of UV and visible light, depending on film thickness and various post-annealing time. UV emission became strong as the thickness of ZnO thin films increased. The intensity of visible light was strong as post-annealing temperature increased. The optical properties of the ZnO thin films were characterized by PL(photoluminescence) and the structural properties of the ZnO were characterized by XRD for the application of ZnO light emission device.

In this paper, we propose a new modulation scheme called multi-coded variable pulse position modulation (MC-VPPM) for visible light communication systems. Two groups of signals (Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and Pulse Position Modulation (PPM) groups) are multi-coded by orthogonal codes for transmitting data simultaneously. Then, each multi-level value of the multi-coded signal is converted to pulse width and position which results in not only an improved data rate, but also a processing gain in reception. In addition, we introduce average duty ratio and cyclic shift concepts in PWM through which dimming control for light illumination can be supported without any degradation in communication performance. Through simulation, we confirm that the proposed MC-VPPM shows a comparable BER curve and much greater achievable data rate than the conventional VPPM scheme using a visible light optical channel environment.

Visible light communication (VLC) is a rapidly growing area of research and applications, due to the potential and predicted high efficiency of bandwidth. One of the key challenges in VLC technology is the choice of devices which are going to be deployed VLC features. Smartphone rationally uses the most widely deployed visible light sensor i.e. image sensor in camera, which could be used to receive the intensity modulated data. Image sensor based VLC system would be the most deployable scenario but initially the capacity was not much attractive compared with photodetector based VLC system. Here, the spatial multiplexing is proposed in MIMO based VLC system to increase the system capacity by utilizing the property of spatial separation of optical light sources in smartphone's camera module. The active pixels of imaging plane act as the multiple receivers which could be able to use on MIMO spatial multiplexing to enhance the system performance.

In this paper, we introduce a new synchronous visible light communication system in which the synchronizing pulse and the data bits are simultaneously transmitted using a 3-level light signal. In the transmitter, the synchronizing pulse and the data bits modulate independently two identical visible LEDs, whose output lights add in free space, make 3-level optical signal. In the receiver, a photodiode detects the light and generates a 3-level output voltage, whose positive and negative part correspond to the synchronizing pulse and the data bits, respectively. The two signals are easily separated and recovered by a simple diode circuit. This configuration provides two independent VLC channels without any multiplexing technique, simplifies the circuit design and construction of synchronous VLC systems.

Using ray-optics code incorporated with three-dimensional PDP cell simulation, we have analysed the energy flow in the PDP cell from the electric power input to the visible light output. Also, the visible light output profile and viewing angle distribution were obtained. We applied our code to the analysis of the barrier rib height effect on the visible light luminance and efficiency of the sustaining discharge. Although cells with higher barrier rib generate more VUV photons, less ratio of visible photons are emitted toward front panel due to the shadow effect. Thus, there exists optimal barrier rib height giving the highest visible luminance and efficiency. This kind of code can be a powerful tool in designing cell geometry.
