We fabricated and characterized an optical delay line for optical coherence tomography (OCT). The delay line was composed of a cylindrical piezoelectric transduce (PZT) and a single mode optical fiber. The OCT system used a duplex scanning optical delay line which was symmetrically driven in the reference and sample arms. We showed that the sinusoidal-wave was superior to a triangular-wave for driving the optical delay line for scanning depth and repeatability.

많은 압전 후막은 여러 감지소자, 통신 및 사무자동화 기기, 전기 및 전자부품, 의료장비 및 국방산업에 까지 널리 응용되어 왔다. 그 중에서도 압전특성이 뛰어난 PZT 후막은 마이크로 펌프, 밸브, 헤드, 모터, 트랜스듀서 뿐 아니라 최근 바이오칩용 센서와 액추에이터로서 널리 연구되고 있다. 또한 마이크로 센서와 액추에이터 의 제작 및 구동을 위한 MEMS 기술의 도입으로 실리콘 베이스의 소자 개발이 집중되고 있다. 스크린 프린팅 방법은수 마이크론에서 수십 마이크론 후막의 실현이 용이하고 비교적 경제적이며 소자신뢰도가 높고 대량생산에 유리하여 활발한 연구가 진행 중이다. 그러나 후막은 벌크에 비해 기공률이 높고, 또 소자응용에 있어서 고온소결 시 MEMS공정을 위한 실리콘 베이스 기판과의 확산 및 반응에 의 한 계면 및 활물질 성능의 저하가 문제가 되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 스크린 프린팅과 더불어 졸 코팅 방법의 도입으로 후막의 성형 및 소결 밀도를 높임과 동시에 여러 확산 방지 막의 증착으로 capacitor 형 PZT 후막의 물성 및 전기 적 특성을 향상시키고자 하였다.

The ultrasonic transient fields and B-mode images of a point target which were simulated for a medical ultrasonic probe with a few defective piezo-elements were compared with those for a normal probe. The present study considered a 3.5 MHz linear array probe whose acoustic beam was formed by the 64 active elements of total 192 elements. The results showed that the maximum amplitude and -3 dB width of the acoustic fields by main-lobes decreased linearly as the defective element number increased from one to four. However, the depths of foci remained almost unchanged, and the pressure differences between main-lobes and side-lobes tended to decrease due to rise in pressures in side-lobes. Such changes in ultrasonic fields affected the B-mode images of point targets. So the artifacts were formed in the right and left side of the target, and the lateral spatial resolutions were decreased while the axial resolution was almost the same.

The beam rotating actuator, which can be utilized to improve the data transfer rate for the optical disk systems, has been developed. It can employ a newly developed laser beam rotating actuator for putting multi-beam spots on more than one track on the optical disk simultaneously. Therefore, It has to maintain up to .+-.0.01 .deg. resolution and high bandwidth performance. In this these, the Dove prism is used for the beam rotating actuator based on bimorph piezo material. The performance of the beam rotating actuator is verified since the dynamics ferquency performance is measured using the dynamic analyzer and the attached stain gage sensor. the beam rotating angle performance is also examined since the long range beam reflection character is utilized.

The purpose of the present study is to develop lightweight and simple smart actuators in order to replace conventional hydraulic/pneumatic actuators, and to apply the developed actuators to the actuation systems of a small unmanned air vehicle. This research describes the procedures of design, manufacturing of the piezo-composite actuator, and the performance evaluation. From the test results of the developed devices, we found the possibility of piezo-composite actuator could be used as a control surface of a small UAV system. We have designed and manufactured two kinds of piezo-composite actuators, unimorph actuator and bimorph actuator. The manufactured actuators were evaluated through the performance testes. It was found that the bimorph type actuator showed more linear angle change for the same excitation voltage variation than unimorph type. It is expected that piezo-composite actuator has a possibility to be used not only as a control surface of small unmanned flying vehicle but also as a control surface actuator of a guided missile fin through the miniaturization of power supply and control system.

In order to obtain the dynamic response behavior of the rock subjected to blasting loading, a shock-proof high sensitivity impact sensor which can measure high frequency dynamic force and strain events should be adopted. Because the impact sensors which uses quartz and piezoelectric element are costly, generally the strain measurement-based impact (SMI) sensors are applied to high speed loading devices. In this study, dynamic Brazilian tension tests of granitic rocks was conducted using the Nonex Rock Cracker (NRC) reaction driven-high speed loading device which adopts SMI sensors. The dynamic response of the granite specimens were monitored and the intermediate strain rate dependency of Brazilian tensile strengths was discussed.

두개의 유니모프 진동자를 이용한 새로운 형상의 마이크로 초음파 리니어 모터를 제안하였다. 유니모프 진동자는 금속판에 판상의 압전소자가 접착되어 있으며, 두개의 유니모프 진동자가 삼각형상의 진동 커플러에 의해 연결되어 스테이터를 구성한다. 스테이터는 두 가지 진동모드(대칭모드와 비 대칭모드)를 가지고 있으며, 이 두 진동모드가 축퇴되도록 설계하였다. 스테이터의 대칭모드와 비 대칭모드를 위상차 $90^{\circ}$로 여진시킴으로써 이동체의 직선(또는 회전) 운동을 발생시킬 수 있다. 시작기 모터는 놀이 0.9 mm, 폭 1 mm, 길이 7.5 mm이며, 구동전압 $100V_{op}$, 구동주파수 300 kHz로 구동되어, 모터 최대속도 0.3 m/s, 최대 추력 6 mN을 달성하였다.

Having very small linear displacement, piezoelectric actuators have been restricted in robotic application as positioning devices. In this paper, a mechanical amplifier was developed to enhance the displacement of piezoelectric actuator and the corresponding driving circuit was designed. This equipment was integrated as a robotic wrist having 2 D.O.F micropositioning capability. Each joint was analysed in mechanical and dynamic view points. Experimental result showed that this device has Some hysteresis but could be used as vibratory robotic wrist with relatively high frequency. For more fine positioning control, a closed loop approach must be taken into account.
