Recently, an optics-based concentrator for solar concentration has been a key issue in development of photovoltaic systems. In the present study, a new, simple, easily producible planar concentrator based on a light guide system is proposed. In this device, solar light is concentrated by microprism optical patterns guiding the light, mainly through total reflection and refraction. The main design variables of the concentrator are the geometric concentration ratio ($R_c$) and the ${\Theta}_1$ and ${\Theta}_2$ of the microprism pattern. Ray tracing was simulated using commercial software, SPEOS, and the optical efficiencies of the light guide solar concentrator were predicted in each case. The predicted maximum optical efficiencies are 65.60%, 54.78%, and 46.78%, respectively, for $R_c$ values of 4, 5, and 6. The variation of the optical efficiencies according to ${\Theta}_1$, ${\Theta}_2$, and the incline angle of the incident light were predicted.

물질에 큰 전기장을 가하였을 때 그 물질의 전기 감수율이 선형이 아닌 비선형관계를 갖게 되는데, 이로 인하여 선형계에서는 볼 수 없는 여러 가지 특이한 현상들이 관측된다. 이러한 비선형적인 현상 중에서 자체집광현상은 Guassian세기 분포를 가지는 빛을 매질에 통과시켰을 때 시료가 얇은 렌즈처럼 작용하는 것으로 설명할 수 있다. 비선형 효과에 의하여 레이저빔이 본래의 특성과 달라질 수 있고 빔의 심각한 변형을 일어난다. (중략)

The objective of this study was to increase the generating efficiency of concentrated photovoltaics (CPV) by using hybrid solar tracking. Further, the proposed system was demonstrated to have the ability to extract thermal energy from a concentrated photovoltaic system by using thermal absorbers containing heat pipe, which could then be used for a heating system or hot-water supply. The average electrical efficiency was 16 during the day, and the average thermal efficiency was 62. Therefore, this system demonstrated a total efficiency (electrical thermal) of 78. All the processes, i.e., tracking of the sun, calculation of the sun's position, reinstatement of the heating device toward the east for tracking on the next day, and system shutdown, were programmed using Simulink. A parametric analysis of the heat pipe, concentration ratio, and inlet velocity was also performed in terms of the operating temperature of the CPV and the outlet temperature. The simulation and experimental results for the thermal absorber were found to be in good agreement.

An understanding of the concentrated solar flux is critical for the analysis and design of solar-energy-utilization systems. The current work focuses on the development of an algorithm that uses the Monte Carlo ray-tracing method with excellent flexibility and expandability; this method considers both solar limb darkening and the surface slope error of reflectors, thereby analyzing the solar flux. A comparison of the modeling results with measurements at the solar furnace in Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) show good agreement within a measurement uncertainty of 10%. The model evaluates the concentration performance of the KIER solar furnace with a tracking accuracy of 2 mrad and a maximum attainable concentration ratio of 4400 sun. Flux variations according to measurement position and flux distributions depending on acceptance angles provide detailed information for the design of chemical reactors or secondary concentrators.

The conceptual design evaluation of Deep-Sea Manganese Nodule Miner(DSNM) based on Axiomatic Design was preformed. Functional Requirements(FRs) in functional domain and Design Parameters(DPs) in physical domain were embodied for the given concept design of DSNM. Interactions between FRs and DPs were sequentially analyzed from the first level hierarchy to the lower level hierarchy. The interactions were expressed as design matrices which showed the dependence or independence between FRs and DPs. The results showed that the design of DSNM was not a coupled one, but a decoupled. Finally, it was conceptually verified that DSNM was a good design satisfying the independence axiom of the Axiomatic Design.

This experimental study represents the results of an analysis on the characteristics of flux density distribution in the focal region of solar concentrator. The characteristics of flux density distributions are investigated to optimally design and position a cavity receiver. This was deemed very useful to find and correct various errors associated with a dish concentrator. We estimated the flux density distribution on the target placed along with focal lengths from the dish vertex to experimentally determine the focal length. It is observed that the actual focal point exists when the focal length is 2.17m. The total integrated power and percent power was 2467W and $85.8\%$, respectively, in the case of small dish, and also 2095W and $79\%$, respectively, in the case of KIERDISH II. As a result of the percent power within radius, approximately $90\%$ of the incident radiation is intercepted by about 0.06 m radius. The minimum radius of receiver in KIERDISH II is found to be 0.15m and approximately $90\%$ of the incident radiation is intercepted by receiver aperture.

강한 펄스 레이저가 렌즈에 의해 투명한 매질 속에 집광되면 가시광선 영역에서부터 적외선 영역에 걸친 넓은 파장대의 빛이 발생하게 되는데 이것을 White-Light Continuum이라고 한다. 이 현상은 1970년에 Alfano 와 Shapiro에 의해 처음으로 발견되었으며 그 후에 여러 투명한 매질들을 통해 White-light continuum의 발생이 확인되었다. 물($H_2O$)과 중수(D$_2$O)에서도 이런 펄스 백색광의 발생이 관찰되어졌으며 고체 매질에 비해 집광된 강한 빛에 의해 생기는 손상에 대한 self-healing이 뛰어나 백색광을 발생시키기 위한 이상적인 매질로 인식도고 있다.

자체집광(Self-focusing)현상은 매우 높은 집적도를 가지는 광기록매체의 제작에 응용 가능하기 때문에 많은 연구자들에 의해 광범위하게 연구되어왔다. 그동안의 연구에서는 자체집광에 대한 분석방법으로서 빛살의 벡터특성을 무시한 비선형 슈뢰딩거 방정식(nonlinear Schr dinger equation)을 이용하였는데, 이 경우 축상으로 대칭적인 빛살이 입사될 때 발생되는 다중 필라멘테이션(Multiple Filamentation)현상은 입사빛살에 첨가되는 random noise에 기인한다는 것이 유일한 해석방법이었다.

The optical performance of LLF(Lenticular Lens Film)-based backlight was studied by using optical simulation as functions of the aspect ratio and the refractive index of lenticular lenses. In order to perform reliable simulation, the BSDF(bi-directional scattering distribution function) of the scattering dots on the bottom surface of the light guide plate was obtained as a superposition of the Lambertian and the elliptic Gaussian distribution components by comparing the experimental results and the simulation for the luminance distribution on the light guide. Based on this approach, an appropriate BSDF of the scattering dots of the light guide was constructed. The resultant values of the optimized aspect ratio and the refractive were found to be 1.25 and 1.65, respectively. In spite of the hybrid aspects of LLF incorporating both diffusing and collimating functions, the optical performance, in particular the on-axis luminance of LLF-based backlight was inferior by about 20% compared to that of conventional backlights adopting one prism film. However, the combination of two lenticular lens films resulted in comparable luminance gain as well as smooth decrease in the luminance with the viewing angle without exhibiting any side lobes.

Super-REsolution Near-field Structure (Super-RENS) 재생 현상을 모델링하고 재생 신호를 계산하여 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 약 2mW 내외의 높은 광 파워로 집광된 Spot 은 디스크 내의 상변화 물질인 GST 를 용융시키므로 집광 Spot 내에는 용융 영역과 비 용융 영역이 공존하게 되고 연속적 또는 불연속적인 경계를 이루게 된다. 이러한 열 효과로부터 기인하는 집광 Spot 내에서의 물질의 광학적 특성 변화와 변화 정도의 차이를 가정하였고 변화된 광학적 특성은 집광된 Spot 의 유효 크기를 줄어들게 함으로써 회절한계 이하의 정보를 재생 가능하게 한다. 계산은 FDTD 방법과 Scalar 방법을 병행하였다. FDTD 방법으로는 위와 같은 집광 Spot 내의 물질 굴절률 (n,k) 변화로부터 회절한계 이하의 정보가 재생 가능함과 CNR 문턱 현상을 확인하였고, Scalar 방법으로는 물질 굴절률을 직접 다루지 않고 굴절률 변화로부터 기인하는 광의 Amplitude 와 Phase 변화로부터 회절한계 이하의 정보가 재생 가능함을 확인하였다. 이 때 광의 Amplitude 와 Phase 변화를 모델링하기 위하여 지름, 위치, 반사율 변화량, 위상 변화량의 네가지 변수로 정의되는 광 마스크를 도입하였다. Scalar 방법을 이용하여 재생 RF 신호 등 다양한 Super-RENS 디스크의 신호를 계산 활용 할 수 있고 다음의 두가지 광학계에 대하여 계산과 실험으로 얻은 채널 특성 및 RF 신호를 비교하여 각각 오차평균 4.2%, 4.7%로 일치함을 확인하였다. 파장 659nm, NA=0.6, Min Pit Length=173nm ROM 디스크 System, 파장 405nm, NA=0.85 Min Mark Length=75nm WORM 디스크 System.
