To enhance the resolution and the depth of focus of the patterns whose size reaches the optical resolution limits, the various imaging methods are being tried. Generally in the linear polarization illumination methods, the contrast gap exists between TE mode TM mode according to the pattern direction. However, through the previous research, the elliptical polarization illumination(EPI) method was proposed to overcome this contrast gap. In this research, we investigated the optimal polarization condition to be able to enhance the depth of focus(DOF) for the optional mask which is containing the opposite direction patterns by applying the various polarization conditions including EPI. The DOF according to each polarization condition was obtained by ED-Tree(Exposure-Defocus Tree) for the given exposure dose and CD error boundaries. As the result, we can ascertain th effect of EPI for the enhancement of DOF in some condition of optical system.

We propose and demanstrate a fiber laser as a sensor, whose output is the frequency of beat signals between eigenpolarization modes of the fiber laser. For the measurement of lateral stress, proportional constant of 4.8 kHz/gram is obtained with a good linearity. For the measurements of temperature and longitudinal strain applied to the polarization maintaining fiber laser, proportional constants of 30 kHz/$^{\circ}C$ -cm, and 43 kHz/${\mu}m$, respectively, are obtained.

A novel fiber optic sensor is demonstrated using a FBG in PM(Polarization-Maintaining) fiber. Gratings have been written in a Bow-Tie type fiber using the phase mask. The operation of the sensor simply involves monitoring back-reflected Bragg wavelengths from the grating. Since PM fiber has two principal semi-axes with two indices of refraction, two Bragg wavelengths were observed. We have observed the position of Bragg wavelengths for PM FBG shifted simultaneously by either applying the longitudinal strain or temperature change. The wavelength sensitivity of 1.2pm/$\mu$$\varepsilon$ about a longitudinal strain and the wavelength sensitivity of 11.4pm/$^{\circ}C$ about a temperature have been experimentally achieved. The wavelength sensitivity of both longitudinal strain and temperature are approximately same with the reported values for the single mode FBG. On the other hand, the change of separation between Bragg wavelengths was observed by the applying transverse stress. We observed that the separation between two Bragg wavelengths is proportional to the applied transverse stress. The wavelength sensitivity of 14.6 pm/N about a transverse stress has been achieved. We have demonstrated PM FBG sensors can measure the transverse stress independently from the effects of temperature.

There are two relaxation frequencies in orthogonally polarized dual-mode solid-state lasers. Complex dynamic behaviors such as chaos can be observed by modulating orthogonally polarized dual-mode solid-state lasers. In this paper, we derived Maxwell-Bloch equations by considering anisotropy explicitly in laser-atom interactions and explained the complex nonlinear dynamical behaviors.

We have experimentally simulated the violation of the Leggett-Garg inequality (LGI) using a heralded-single-photon source via spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) in a periodically poled potassium titanyl phosphate (PPKTP) crystal. We measured the polarization fringe as a function of the angle of the linear polarization of the photons, and analyzed the LGI according to n measurement. Simulation results for LGI based on the polarization of the heralded single photon were in good agreement with theoretical calculations.

반도체 양자점은 불연속적인 에너지준위의 특성 때문에 고전적인 빛과는 다른 단일광자를 방출하여 양자정보 처리과정에 기본 요소로써 사용 될 수 있다. III-Nitride (III-N) 반도체 물질은 III족 원소의 구성비를 조절하였을 때 밴드갭 에너지차이가 크므로 깊은 양자 우물을 만들 수 있으며 최근에는 기존에 연구되던 III-Arsenide 기반의 반도체 양자점과 다르게 상온 (300 K) 동작 가능한 단일광자 방출원이 개발되었다.[1] 또한 약한 split-off 에너지 때문에 양자점 모양에 작은 비대칭성만 존재해도 큰 선형편광도를 가질 수 있다. 하지만 III-N 반도체 양자점의 이러한 특성에도 불구하고 이종기판과의 격자상수 불일치에 따른 많은 threading dislocation, 압전효과에 의한 큰 내부전기장에 의해 발광 효율이 떨어지는 등의 문제가 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 반도체 양자점을 3차원 구조체와 결합하여 threading dislocation 및 내부전기장을 줄이는 연구들이 진행되고 있다.[2] 본 연구에서는 선택적 영역 성장 방식을 통해 마이크로미터 크기를 가지는 피라미드 형태의 3차원 구조체를 이용, 피라미드의 꼭지점에 형성된 InGaN/GaN 양자점의 광학적 특성에 대해 분석하였다. 저온(9 K)에서 마이크로 photoluminescence 측정을 통해 양자점의 발광파장이 피라미드의 옆면의 파장과는 다름을 확인하였다. 여기광의 세기에 따른 양자점의 발광 세기 측정하여 여기광에 선형 비례함을 보이고, 양자점의 편광도를 측정하여 선형 편광임을 확인하였다. 마지막으로, 광량에 대해 시간에 따른 상관관계를 측정함으로써 양자점이 양자 발광체의 특성을 보이는 지 확인하였다.

반도체 광증폭기는 어븀첨가 광섬유증폭기게 비하여 높은 잡음지수, 낮은 포화출력파워, 높은 편광의존성, 주파수처핑 등의 성질을 갖기 때문에, 광신호를 증폭하기 위한 응용은 매우 제한적이다. 그러나 이득분포화 현상에 의하여 유도되는 비선형 굴절률 계수가 매우 크기 때문에, 관신호 처리를 위한 기능소자로서의 응용 가능성은 매우 높다. 본 논문에서는 시분할 역다중화기, 고속 파장변환기, 주파수 처핑 보상기 등 반도체 광증폭기의 비선형 굴절률을 이용한 여러 가지 응용분야를 소개하고 이러한 응용에 있어서 반도체 광증폭기의 장점과 한계를 논한다.

In this study, cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) was synthesized and applied as a polarizing component on the optical film of back light units (BLU) for LCDs. After mixing CLC with nematic liquid crystal, this mixture was fulfilled in the module consisting of two films and then its amplifying efficiency and polarizing ability for a planarly emitted light were examined to apply as a BLU polarizer film for increasing the brightness of light. The properties of CLC compound were tested by UV/Visible spectroscopy and polarizing optical microscopy (POM). Flexible spacer was made by linear carboxylic acid group of cholesteric derivatives between cholesterol mesogen units for one-axis orientation in each layer. The CLC containing film could be used as a module to increase the ability of polarization and to enhance brightness of BLU and to widen wavelength range by stacking the films.
