We made sharp optical fiber tips with less than 100 nm diameter by using the heating and pulling method with a good repetition and fabricated the photon scanning tunneling microscope (PSTM) using constant intensity mode. The 3-dimensional PZT (Piezoelctric transducer) scanner made of a long PZT tube is consisted of three divided parts, that is, a pair of $\pm$ x and a pair of $\pm$y scanning parts and a z scanning part for the fine approach and scanning. The scanning dimension is 1.43 $\mu\textrm{m}$$\times$1.76 $\mu\textrm{m}$. The height of a optical tip to maintain a constant height within $1/{\lambda}_0$ (${\lambda}_0$ is the incident wavelength) from surface of a specimen to a optical tip is controlled automatically by using the electric feedback circuit. The 3-dimensional shape of standing evanescent waves generated on the surface of a dove prism was measured successfully by using the constant intensity mode PSTM.

ZnO nanorods were grown on ZnO seed layer by hydrothermal method. The ZnO seed layer was coated by sol-gel method, and then the ZnO nanorods on ZnO seed layer were grown with different precursor concentrations ranging from 0.01 M to 0.3 M. FE-SEM (field-emission scanning electron microscopy), XRD (X-ray diffraction), and PL (photoluminescence) were employed to investigate the structural and optical properties of the ZnO nanorods. The diameter and length of ZnO nanorods are increased and also the optical properties are enhanced as the precursor concentrations are increased.

In this paper, we design and construct the equipment to manufacture large-diameter optical fiber end caps, which are the core parts of high-power fiber lasers, and we fabricate large-diameter optical fiber end caps using the home-made equipment. This equipment consists of a CO2 laser as a fusion-splice heat source, a precision stage assembly for transferring the position of a large-diameter optical fiber and an end cap, and a vision system used for alignment when the fusion splice is interlocked with the stage assembly. The output of the laser source is interlocked with the stage assembly to control the output, and the equipment is manufactured to align the polarization axis of the large-diameter polarization-maintaining optical fiber with the vision system. Optical fiber end caps were manufactured by laser fusion splicing of a large-diameter polarization-maintaining optical fiber with a clad diameter of 400 ㎛ and an end cap of 10×5×2 ㎣ (W×D×H) using home-made equipment. Signal-light insertion loss, polarization extinction ratio, and beam quality M2 of the fabricated large-diameter optical fiber end caps were measured to be 0.6%, 16.7 dB, and 1.21, respectively.

We have developed a linearly polarized high-power Yb-doped fiber laser in the master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) scheme for efficient spectral beam combining. We modulated the phase of the seed laser by pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS), with the bit length optimized to suppress stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), and subsequently amplified seed power in a 3-stage amplifier system. We have constructed by coiling the polarization-maintaining (PM) Yb-doped fiber, with core and cladding diameters of 20 ㎛ and 400 ㎛ respectively, to a diameter of 9-12 cm for suppression of the mode instability (MI). Finally, we obtained an output power of 1.004 kW with a slope efficiency of 83.7% in the main amplification stage. The beam quality factor M² and the polarization extinction ratio (PER) were measured to be 1.12 and 21.5 dB respectively. Furthermore, the peak-intensity difference between the Rayleigh signal and SBS signal was observed to be 2.36 dB in the backward spectra, indicating that SBS is successfully suppressed. In addition, it can be expected that the MI does not occur because not only there is no decrease in slope efficiency, but also the beam quality for each amplified output is maintained.

We report on the phase transitions of the perovskite nanostructures made by sol-gel template synthesis. The lead titanate ($PbTiO_{3}$) nanostructures were prepared with a chelate sol-gel of titanium tetrabutoxide ($Ti(O^{i}Pr){4}$) and lead acetate ($Pb(OAc)_{2}-3H_{2}O$). $Whatman^{\circledr}$ anodisc membranes (with about 200 nm pore size) served as the template. The template was dipped into the sol, allowed to air dry, and then calcined at $650^{\circ}C$. We have characterized the temperatures of the phase transitions in the $PbTiO_{3}$ nano-structures using DSC, DTA, and second harmonic generation (SHG).

H-SiC single crystals were successfully grown by the sublimation method and the optimum growth conditions were established. The grown SiC crystals were about 33 mm in diameter and 11 mm in length. The micropipe density of the polished SiC wafers was 400/$\textrm{cm}^2$, and the planar defect density was 50/$\textrm{cm}^2$. Raman spectroscopy and DCXRD analysis were used to examine the crystallinity of Acheson seeds and the 6H-SiC wafers. As a result, the crystallinity of the 6H-SiC wafers was better than that of Acheson seeds. For examination of the electrical properties of the undopped 6H-SiC wafers Hall measurements were applied. According to the measurements the carrier concentration was estimated to be $3.91{\times}10^{15}/\textrm {cm}^3$ and doping type of the undopped. 6H-SiC wafers was n-type.

최근 산화물 반도체와 나노소자 대한 관심이 날로 높아지고 있는 가운데 산화아연(ZnO) 나노구조를 이용한 나노소자 제작이 많이 연구되고 있다. 산화아연은 c축으로 우선 배향성을 가지는 우르짜이트 구조로써, 나노선 성장이 다른 산화물에 비해 용이하고 그 물리적, 화학적 특성이 안정 무수하다. 이러한 산화아연 나노선 제작법 가운데, 유기금속화학기상증착법은 다른 성장법에 비해 결정학적 광학적 특성이 우수하고 성장속도가 빨라 고품질 나노선 성장에 용이한 장비로 각광받고 있다. 하지만 bottom-up 공정을 기반으로 한 나노소자제작에서 몇 가지 문제점을 가지고 있다. 1) 수직형 대면적 성장, 2) 나노선 밀도 조절의 어려움, 3) 기판과의 계면층에 자발적으로 생성되는 계면층의 제거, 4) 고온성장시 precursor의 증발 문제 등이 그것이다. 본인은 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 산화아연 나노구조 성장 시, 마그네슘(Mg)을 도입하여, 각 원소의 함량 분포 정도에 따라 기판 표면에 30nm 두께 미만의 상분리층(단결정+비정질층)을 자발적으로 형성시켰다. 성장이 진행됨에 따라, 아연이 rich한 단결정 층에서는 나노선이 선택적으로 성장하게 하였고, 마그네슘이 rich한 비정질 층에서는 성장이 이루어지지 않게 하였다. 따라서 산화아연이 증발되는 온도영역에서 10nm 이하 직경을 가지는 나노선을 자발적으로 계면층 없이 수직 성장하였다. 또한, 표면의 단결정, 비정질의 사이즈를 Mg 함량으로 적절히 조절한 결과, 산화아연계 나노월 구조성장이 가능하였다.

A Large thermal vacuum chamber (LTVC) for space environment simulation on large satellites was successfully developed and constructed by KARI (Korea Aerospace Research Institute) in Korea with a local company. This chamber has an effective diameter of 8 meters and depth of 10 meters, and is composed of vacuum system, thermal control system, and anti-vibration system. Temperature below $-190^{\circ}C$ is maintained over the thermal shroud wrapping a satellite under $3.7{\times}10^{-5}Pa$ ($5{\times}10^{-7}torr$) vacuum level, and optical test can be done in this chamber by seismic mass with $10^{-5}g_{rms}$ or lower vibration level. In addition, the shroud temperature can be increased up to $123^{\circ}C$ using halogen lamps. Chamber control program based on PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) could control this large thermal vacuum chamber automatically.
