공간솔리톤(spatial soliton)은 빔이 매질을 진행할 때 자기집속 효과(self-focusing effect) 와 자기확산 효과(self-defocusing effect)에 의해서 회절이 보상되어 형성된다. Kerr 매질에서는 굴절률의 변화가 빔의 세기에 비례하하므로 솔리톤을 발생시키기 위해서는 수 MW/$ extrm{cm}^2$ 이상인 빔의 세기가 요구된다. 광굴절 매질은 광굴절효과에 의해서 굴절률의 변화로 공간솔리톤을 발생시킨다. 비균일한 빔이 매질에 입사되면 전도대로 여기된 free carrier가 분포 차이에 의해서 확산이 일어나게 된다. 그리고 외부에서 걸어준 전기장 및 광기전력 효과로 인한 drift가 일어나게 되고 이것에 의해 생긴 공간 전하장(space charge field)에 의하여 굴절률의 변화가 생긴다.

To probe the temperature elevation effect caused by ultrasound, a tissue mimicking phantom was newly suggested. A carrageenan gel was adopted to realize not only the required transparency for visualization but also acoustic characteristics similar to human tissue. To visualize the temperature elevation inside phantom, thermochromic film with a critical temperature of discoloration was introduced. Acoustic characteristics of the tissue mimicking phantom were examined when the concentrations of carrageenan and sucrose changed. As the results, the attenuation coefficient of the phantom could be controlled in the range of 0.44~0.49 dB/cm/MHz, and the acoustic impedance in the range of 1.52~1.77 Mrayls. We could control the acoustic characteristics of the phantom by different concentration of carrageenan and sucrose, and it was possible to examine the temperature elevation caused by ultrasound in the phantom. The suggested method was verified by noninvasively visualizing the temperature elevation due to planar and focused ultrasound using the fabricated phantom.

The temperature change due to focused ultrasound in dissipative acoustic medium is very important because it provides us much information. To measure the temperature change inside of the dissipative acoustic medium non-invasively, we adopt a temperature sensitive film which has thermochromic particles with critical temperature of $30^{\circ}C$. As a dissipative acoustic medium, agar layer is chosen in the study. The temperature change due to the ultrasound was measured depending on the concentration of the sugar in the agar layer. The color change on the film due to the ultrasound was investigated when the concentration of sugar was from 25% to 40%. As the result, there were rapid increases of discolored area on the film within 2~5 second after the ultrasound driving and the increasing rates decreased after the period. To compare the simulation results were also shown. However in the simulated result, the discolored areas linearly increased from start to 10 seconds. The reason of the differences between the experimental results and simulated ones is that the change of thermal conductivity and heat capacity of the medium were not considered in the simulation program.

레이저 매질은 흡수된 여기 파워에 의해 매질 내부에서 열이 발생하고, 매질 표면을 따라 냉각이 진행되어 매질 내부에서는 불균일한 온도분포가 발생하게 된다.$^{[1,2]}$ 레이저 매질의 굴절율은 온도에 따라 변하기 때문에 열복굴절과 열렌즈 현상이 일어나 레이저 출력의 손실 및 빔질의 저하를 초래하게 된다.$^{[1,3]}$ 선형 편광 광선을 이용하는 고체 레이저는 레이저 매질을 브루스터각으로 가공하거나 공진기 내부쉐 브루스터판을 삽입한다. 따라서, 선형 편광 광선은 열복굴절에 의한 위상 지연으로 타원 편광이 되고, 타원 편광 광선의 s-성분은 브루스터판에서 반사를 일으키게 되어 레이저 출력의 손실을 일으키게 되므로 레이저 공진기를 구성하는데 있어서 정량적인 열영향의 해석이 필요하다$^{[1,2,5]}$ 열영향에 의한 위상 지연은 방위각 방향과 반지름 방향으로 각각 $\Delta$ $n_{\Phi}$, $\Delta$ $n_{r}$ 만큼 생긴 굴절율의 차이로 발생하고 다음과 같이 표현할 수 있다.$^{[1]}$ (중략)이 표현할 수 있다.$^{[1]}$ (중략)

The objective of this study was to estimate uncertainty of online TOC analyzer in water quality monitoring system. A procedure for the estimation of measurement uncertainty of total organic compounds (TOC) based on the ISO approach is presented. It is based on a mathematical model that involves 4 input parameters (standardization, sensitivity, solute effect and representativeness). In this study, a major problem in estimating the uncertainty of online TOC analyzer was the solute effect. It was strongly depends on organic materials. So homogeneity of the sample is the most important consideration. Modified concentration and combined standard uncertainty was $4.71{\pm}0.36$ mg $L^{-1}$ by model modified in this study.

We suggest an effective expression of transmission coefficients between uniaxial anisotropic media. To study the transmission of oblique incident light by stratified anisotropic planar structures, we included an imaginary isotropic layer sandwiched between those anisotropic media, and then considered multiple reflection within the imaginary layer. The adequacy of this expression is confirmed by comparing the polarization analysis of light passing through the anisotropic medium and the multi.layered anisotropic media.

To investigate the matrix effect of sample for hydrogen analysis by inert gas fusion-thermal conductivity detection, calibration factor for the hydrogen analyser of the inert gas fusion-thermal conductivity detection method was measured with hydrogen standard materials in Ti, Zr-2.5Nb and by hydrogen gas dosing method. Also the hydrogen extraction efficiency for the different sample matrix, Ti and Zr-2.5Nb, was evaluated without adding tin flux. The calibration factor of the hydrogen analyser which was calibrated by hydrogen standard material in Zr-2.5Nb and Ti was 2~3% and 14% higher than that by hydrogen gas dosing method, respectively. Based on the results of calibration factor measurement, it could be concluded that the hydrogen extraction efficiency of the Ti matrix sample will be 12% lower than that of the Zr-2.5Nb. And according to the experimental results of hydrogen recovery test by no tin flux, the hydrogen recovery percentage of the Ti and Zr-2.5Nb matrix sample was about 70% but the recovery rate of Ti matrix sample was slightly lower than that of Zr-2.5Nb.

In calculating the light propagation in inhomogeneous uniaxial materials by using a conventional $4{\times}4$ matrix method, Fabry-Perot effect is caused by inherent multiple internal reflections at interfaces for monochromatic light source. In this paper we propose an apodization method by which we can eliminate in negligible time the interference fringe in the $4{\times}4$ matrix optics. For a cell with k abrupt interfaces, the new apodization method can be implemented simply by, at maximum, (k+1) addtional $4{\times}4$ matrix multiplications in calculating the complete transfer matrix of the cell.

We investigate the kinetics of diffusion-influenced catalytic reactions occurring in small reaction volume. From a simple exact model study, we find that the reaction rate coefficient decreases with the size of reaction volume. The explicit expression for the average reaction rate constant is presented, which can be regarded as a generalization of well-known Collins-Kimball rate constant into the reactions occurring in a small reaction volume. It turns out that the traditional diffusion influenced reaction dynamics is followed by a single exponential relaxation phase with a rate constant dependent on the reaction volume for the catalytic reactions occurring in small reaction volumes.

Seismic modeling is used to simulate wave propagation in the earth. Although the earth's subsurface is usually semi-infinite, we cannot handle the semi-infinite model in seismic modeling because of limited computational resources. For this reason, we usually assume a finite-sized model in seismic modeling. In that case, we need to eliminate the edge reflections arising from the artificial boundaries introducing a proper boundary condition. In this study, we changed three kinds of boundary conditions (sponge boundary condition, Clayton and Engquist's absorbing boundary condition, and Higdon's transparent boundary condition) so that they can be applied in elastic wave modeling for anisotropic media. We then apply them to several models whose Poisson's ratios are different. Clayton and Engquist's absorbing boundary condition is unstable in both isotropic and anisotropic media, when Poisson's ratio is large. This indicates that the absorbing boundary condition can be applied in anisotropic media restrictively. Although the sponge boundary condition yields good results for both isotropic and anisotropic media, it requires too much computational memory and time. On the other hand, Higdon's transparent boundary condition is not only inexpensive, but also reduce reflections over a wide range of incident angles. We think that Higdon's transparent boundary condition can be a method of choice for anisotropic media, where Poisson's ratio is large.
