Sputter deposition followed by surface treatment was studied using reactive RF plasma as a method for preparing titanium oxide $(TiO_2)$ films on the FTO $(SnO_2: F)$ substrate for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). Anatase structure $TiO_2$ films deposited by reactive RF magnetron sputtering under the conditions of $Ar/O_2(5%)$ mixtures, RF power of 600W and substrate temperature of $400^{\circ}C$ were surface-treated by inductive coupled plasma (ICP) with $Ar/O_2$ mixtures at substrate temperature of $400^{\circ}C$, and thus the films were applied to the DSCs. We have chosen a solar cell width as a variable of a large-scaled DSCs and confirmed electric characteristics of an individual cell. As a result, the higher the internal resistance of DSC becomes, the wider the width gets. Internal resistance makes it difficult to collect photoelectron generated from dye. Ultimately up sizing DSC causes the increase of internal resistance and then has a bad effect on the cell characteristics.

This paper describes fiber optic voltage sensor using EOM-BSO (Electro-Optic Modulator-Bismuth Silicon Oxcide). Transceiver has an electical/optical converter and an optical/electrical converter which consist of light emitting diode, PIN-PD, and electronic circuits. Multimode fiber cable of $100/140{\mu}m$ core/clad diameter is used for connecting the transceiver to fiber cable and fiber optic voltage sensor. Before our experiments, by applying the Maxwell equations and wave equations, We derive matrix equation on wave propagation in the BSO single crystal. And also we derive optimal equation on intensity modulation arising through an analyzer. According to experi-mental results, fiber optic voltage sensor has maximum $2.5{\%}$ error within the applied AC voltage of 800V. As the applied voltage increases, saturation values of voltage sensor also increase. This phenomenon is caused by optical rotatory power of BSO single crystal. And temperature dependence of sensitivity for fiber optical rotatory power of BSO single crystal. And temperature dependence of sensitivity for fiber optic voltage sensor in the temperature range from$-20^{\circ}C\to\60^{\circ}C$ are measured within ${\pm}0.6{\%}$. And frequency characteristics of the voltage sensor has good frequency characteristics from DC to 100kHz.
