A pulsed Ti:sapphire laser with a Z-folded cavity, which was pumped by a freqeuncy-doubled Nd:YAG laser, was developed. It shows 120 nm wavelength tuning range from 740 nm to 860 nm with 90 nm FWHM under a pumping energy of 3 mJ with 18% output coupler. Using a birefringent filter, the effective efficiency was improved about 10 times compare to without a birefringent filter. The output energy obtained was $\365mu$Jwith 4 nm FWHM. And the wavelength tuning range was broadened to about 160 nm within an output energy fluctuation of $\pm$10%.

In this paper, a K-band local oscillator composed of a VCDRO(Voltage Controlled Dielectric Resonator Oscillator), GaAs MESFET, and Reflector type frequency doubler has been designed and fabricated. TO obtain a good phase noise performance of a VCDRO, a active device was selected with a low noise figure and a low flicker noise MESFET and a dielectric resonator was used for selecting stable and high oscillation frequency. Especially, to have a higher conversion gain than a conventional doubler as well as a good harmonic suppression performance with circuit size reduced a doubler structure was employed as the Reflector type composed of a reflector and a open stub of quarter wave length for rejecting the unwanted harmonics. The measured results of fabricated oscillator show that the output power was 5.8 dBm at center frequency 12.05 GHz and harmonic suppression -37.98 dBc, Phase noise -114 dBc at 100 KHz offset frequency, respectively, and measured results show of fabricated frequency doubler, the output power at 5.8 dBm of input power is 1.755 dBm conversion gain 1.482 dB, harmonic suppression -33.09 dBc, phase noise -98.23 dBc at 100 KHz offset frequency, respectively. This oscillator could be available to a local oscillator in K-band which used frequency doubler techniques.

낮은 세기의 레이저와 정지한 전자가 반응하면 전자는 레이저 전기장 세기에 비례하여 가속되며 레이저의 파장과 같은 파장의 빛을 낸다. 반면, 레이저의 세기가 일정 수준을 넘으면 전자의 속도가 빛의 속도에 가까워지게 되어 가속이 둔화되는 현상이 나타나며, 더 이상 전기장의 세기와 가속도가 비례하지 않게 된다. 이러한 비선형적인 전자의 운동이 레이저 기본 파장의 조화파(harmonic)를 발생시키는데, 이를 상대론적 비선형 톰슨 산란(relativistic nonlinear Thomson scattering, RNTS)이라고 한다. 단일 전자를 가정한 경우 RNTS에 의해 아토초($10^{-18}$ 초) 길이의 X선 펄스가 발생하는 것이 시뮬레이션 연구를 통해 잘 알려졌다. [1] 그러나, 실제 실험에서 적용할 수 있는 것은 단일 전자가 아니라 고체, 플라즈마, 전자 빔 등의 전자 덩어리이다. 전자덩어리를 구성하는 각각의 전자가 아토초 펄스를 발생시더라도 각각의 펄스 간에 결맞음(coherence) 조건이 맞지 않으면 아토초 펄스는 발생되지 않는다. 또한, 강한 세기의 펄스를 얻는데도 결맞음은 중요하다. 이 연구에서는 결맞음 조건으로 얇은 타깃에 대한 거울 반사 조건, 즉 레이저가 얇은 타깃에 입사되며 거울의 반사 조건을 만족하는 위치에 검출기(detector)를 위치시키는 방법을 제안하였다. 박막이 충분히 얇을 경우 각각의 전자에 대하여 레이저가 발사되어 타깃에 맞고 검출되기까지의 시간이 거의 일치하게 된다. 거울 반사 조건에 의한 아토초 펄스 발생은 particle-in-cell 방법을 통한 시뮬레이션으로 검증되었다. 결맞음 조건을 위한 얇은 타깃으로는 박막과 나노선 배열(nanowire array)을 사용하였다. 전자들 간의 쿨롱(Coulomb) 힘은 결맞음이 유지되는 것을 방해하는데, 박막에 비해 나노선 배열이 쿨롱 힘의 영향을 적게 받기 때문에 결맞음이 더 잘 유지된다.

The asynchronous bistatic sonar needs to estimate direct blast arrival time at a receiver to localize targets, and therefore the direct blast arrival time estimation error could be added to target localization error in comparison with synchronous system. Direct blast especially appears as several peaks at the matched filter output by multipath, thus we compared the first peak detection technique and the maximum peak detection technique of those peaks for direct blast arrival time estimation through sea trial data. The test was performed in a shallow sea with bistatic sonar made up of spatially separated source and line array sensors. Line array sensors obtained the target signal which is generated from the echo repeater. As a result, the first peak detection technique is superior to maximum peak detection technique in direct blast arrival time estimation error. The result of this analysis will be used for further research of target tracking in the asynchronous bistatic sonar.

We have studied to obtain the SAW filter for the Single Phase Unidirectional Transduce. (SPUDT), was formed on the Langasite substrate and was evaporated by Aluminum-Copper alloy and then we performed computer-simulated by simulator. We can fabricate that the block weighted type IDT as an input transducer of the filter and the withdrawal weighted type IDT as an output transducer of the filter from the results of our computer-simulations. Also, we have performed to obtain the properly conditions about impedance matching of the SAW filter for SPUDT. We have employed that the number of pairs of the input and output IDT are 50 pairs and the thickness and the width of reflector are 5000A and $3.6{\mu}m$, respectively. And the width of IDT' fingers is $2.4{\mu}m$, and the space between IDT' finger and reflector is $2.0{\mu}m$. Frequency response of the fabricated SAW filter has the property that the center frequency is about 190MHz and bandwidth at the 3dB is probably 7.7MHz after when we have matched impedance. Also, we could obtain that ripple characteristics is less than 0.4dB and standing wave ratio is probably 1.5 after when we have matched impedance.

An external cavity laser operating at near infrared wavelength is demonstrated by incorporating polymer waveguide Bragg reflectors. 3rd order Bragg grating and oversized rip waveguide structure were designed by using the effective index method and the transmission matrix method. The polymer waveguide was fabricated using polymer materials with refractive indices of 1.462 and 1.435 for the core and the cladding layers, respectively. The external feedback laser with 875-nm Bragg grating exhibits single mode lasing located at 850-nm wavelength with an output power of 0 dBm, a 20-dB bandwidth of 0.2 nm and a side mode suppression ratio of 40 dB.

In this paper, a retrodirective anatenna array system is proposed and the possibility of actively cancelling electromagnetic waves based on this system is investigated. When a rectrodirective array system receives an electromagnetic wave, it can send waves in the direction of the incoming signal without prior knowledge of the direction. In applications to cancellation of radar signals, the system can generate and send signals to the radar so that it cancels the radar signals that are reflected back to the radar. In such a system, isolation between the input and output ports is a key factor that determines the effectiveness of cancellation. In this work, a dual-conversion mixer system is proposed to maximize the isolation. Since this minimizes the difference between the direction of reflection of radar signals and the transmission of cancellation signals, the effectiveness of cancellation is maximized. Experimental results for a metallic plate and metallic cylinder shows as much as 29-dB reduction in reflection for a $2{\times}2$ retrodirective array based on proposed dual-conversion mixer system, which verifies the proposed method of active cancellation.

The various output characteristics of a pulsed Ti:sapphire laser oscillator with a plane-parallel resonator, pumped longitudinally by the second harmonic wave of a Nd:YAG laser, and the output of a Ti:sapphire laser amplifier operated along the single path of the oscillator beam were investigated and analyzed. In the case of the oscillator, we measured the spectrum, the pulse buildup time, the temporal duration time of the pulse, and the output energy according to the variation of the pumping energy, resonator length, and the reflectance of the output coupler. And, in the case of the amplifier, we investigated and analyzed the output energy of the amplifier as a function of the time difference between the two pump beams of the oscillator and the amplifier, the pumping energy of the oscillator, and the pumping energy of the amplifier When pump energies of both the oscillator and the amplifier were 18 mJ/pulse, we could find that the output energy of the amplifier increased linearly and gradually up to the time difference of 35 ns. Finally, we determined that the slope efficiencies of the oscillator and the amplifier were 23.5 % and 11.6 %, respectively.
