There are to be some cracks on the material degradation part or the stress concentration parts of the main members, which carry on over-loads, of structures. Because these cracks can be used to evaluate the structural health status, it is important to monitor the crack growth for maintaining the structural safety. In this study, the fiber Bragg grating sensor with a drop ball was developed as a sensor for crack growth detection of an existing crack. The crack growth detection sensor was constructed with three parts: a probe part, a wavelength controling light source and receiver part, and an impact part. The probe part was just formed with a fiber Bragg grating optical fiber The wavelength controling light source part was composed of a current supplying circuit, a DFB laser diode, and a TEC controling circuit for wavelength control. Also, the impact part was just implemented by dropping a steel ball. The performance of this sensor was confirmed by the experiments of the crack detection with an aluminum plate having one existing crack. According to these experiments, the difference of the sensor signal outputs was correlated with the crack length. So, it was confirmed that this sensor could be applied to monitor the crack growth.

In this paper, the development of excitation light source is proposed for excitation light of the photodynamic therapy of cancer. Since the selection of the wavelength band of excitation light has an interrelation with fluorescence generation according to the selection of a photosensitizer. This study aims at designing and evaluating light source that can stably generate light with various kinds of wavelengths in order to make possible photodynamic diagnosis using a photosensitizer and diagnosis using auto-fluorescence. The light source device was a Xenon lamp and filter wheel, composed of an optical output control through iris and filters with several wavelength bands. It also makes the inducement of auto-fluorescence possible because it is designed to generate a wavelength band of 380-420nm, 430-480nm, 480-560nm. The transmission part of the light source was developed to enhance the efficiency of light transmission. To evaluate this light source device by KFDA#s technical reference, the characteristics of the light output and wavelength band were found.

This study describes a non-invasive optical sensor and system in order to obtain oxygen saturation of blood, in-vitro. The sensor contains LED 665nm and 805nm of wavelength for light source and PIN photodiode for light detector in flat pack. The sensor system for measurement of oxygen saturation has breadboarded, including signal amplifier, filter, displayer, A/D converter, microprocessor and memory. Experimental set-up for non-invasive measurement of oxygen saturation in-vitro was done. When the variation of oxygen saturation is compared with that of each wavelength, the variation of 665nm is more than that of 805nm by five times. As oxygen saturation varies from 100% to 60%, and the reflection ratio (R805/R665) is changed linearly. The oxygen saturation in $100%{\sim}60%$ range can be measured with about 5% resolution by the developed sensor, such that if this sensor connects with the main artery and vein, the artificial heart can be controlled rapidly and precisely from measurement of the sensor.

BACKGROUND: Many studies on artificial lighting have been recently performed to investigate its effect on agricultural products with good quality. This review was aimed at comparing the effects of artificial light on functional metabolites of the plants that were grown in greenhouses and growth chamber. METHODS AND RESULTS: It has been summarized that artificial lighting both in growth chambers and greenhouses caused different functional metabolites patterns depending on light quality. Even though the same light quality was applied, different patterns in metabolites were observed in different plant species. For the same species, supplementation of the same light quality in both growth chambers and greenhouses did cause different functional metabolites patterns. CONCLUSION: Artificial lighting caused different patterns in functional metabolites of plants grown in greenhouses and growth chambers, depending on the light quality and/or plant species. The manipulation of plant growth and functional metabolites would be possible by engineering the light qualities, but knowledge on proper lighting condition depending on plant species and growth places would be necessary.

The objective of this study was to make growth and yield models for common ice plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L.) using expolinear functional equations in a closed-type plant production system. Three-band radiation type fluorescent lamps with a 12-hours photoperiod were used, and the light intensity was $200{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$. Nutrient film systems with three layers were used for plant growth. Environmental conditions, such as air temperature, relative humidity and $CO_2$ concentration were controlled by an ON/OFF operation. Leaf area, shoot fresh and dry weights, light use efficiency of common ice plant as function of days after transplanting, accumulative temperature and accumulative radiation were analyzed. Leaf area, shoot fresh and dry weights per area were described using an expolinear equation. A linear relationship between shoot dry and fresh weights was observed. Light use efficiency of common ice plant was $3.3g{\cdot}MJ^{-1}$ at 30 days after transplanting. It is concluded that the expolinear growth model can be a useful tool for quantifying the growth and yield of common ice plant in a closed plant production system.

우리나라는 1970년대를 기점으로 하여 급격한 경제성장과 산업기술의 발전이 이루어졌다. 경제성장과 함께 주택의 보급 또한 급격하게 증가하게 되었고, 주택의 보급을 위한 건축자재 및 생활용품의 개발이 급속도로 이루어졌다. 이에 따라 실내에서 사용하는 기구 및 건축재료가 매우 다양해졌으며, 이로 인한 새로운 오염물질의 배출이 급격히 증가하게 되었다. 최근 새로운 기술로 소개되고 있는 촉매 산화법의 경우 제거하려는 대상 실내대기오염물질을 촉매를 이용하여 CO₂나 H₂O 등으로 산화시켜 제거하는 방법이며, 최근 많은 연구가 활발하게 수행되고 있다. 촉매를 이용하는 촉매 산화법은 광촉매 산화법과, 촉매의 성능만을 이용하여 대상물질을 산화하는 촉매산화법으로 구분된다. 광촉매 산화법은 특정 파장에서 반응하는 촉매에 자외선을 조사하여 실내오염물질을 산화제거하는 방법으로, 산화성능이 우수하여 여러 가지 실내오염가스에 적용되고 있으나, 별도의 광원이 필요하며, 포름알데히드 산화 시 CO₂와 H₂O 이외에도 dichloroacetyl chloride (C₂HCl₃O), trichloroethylene (C₂HCl₃), phosgene (COCl₂) 등과 같은 부수적인 2차 유해물질이 발생함에 따라 이를 처리하기 위한 대책이 수반되어야 한다. 반면, 촉매 산화법의 경우 별도의 광원이나 에너지원 없이, 촉매를 이용하여 대기오염물질을 인체에 무해한 물질로 완전 산화시키는 방법으로써, 최근 많은 연구가 수행되어 상온에서 구동 가능한 촉매가 개발되었고, 이의 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 이에 상온산화촉매기술의 연구동향 및 사례를 확인하고, 향후 상온산화촉매기술이 나아가야 할 방향을 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구는 환경부 환경산업선진화기술개발사업의 지원을 받아 수행되었습니다(2016000140004).

In this paper, we have designed and implemented an optical signal processor in order to use in a fiber-optic current CT for electric equipments where its properties were discussed. The fabricated optical signal processor is used to reduce a measurement current error that induced by the effects of intensity variation in the optical output signal due to losses coming from optical components or polarization variation in a PFOCS. Also, the optical signal processor was fabricated in compact/lightweight with unification of opto-electronic transducer part, analog signal process part, and real-time measurement part consisted of a level shift and ${\mu}-processor$. The experiment of optical signal processor has been performed in the range of $0{\sim}7,500A$ using the PFOCS made all fiber-optic components. As a result of experiment, the linearity error of measurement current is less than 1.7% and its average error is less than 0.3% in the range of $1,000A{\sim}7,000A$.

BACKGROUND: Plant growth under smart greenhouse (that is plant factory system) conditions of an artificial light type is significantly depending on the artificial light sources such as a fluorescent lamps or Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) with specific spectral wavelengths regardless of the outside environmental changes. In this experiment, characteristics on the growth and compound synthesis of kale seedlings affected by light qualities and intensities provided by LEDs were mentioned. METHODS AND RESULTS: The kale seedlings which developed 3~4 true leaves were exposed by fluorescent lamps or LEDs lights of red (R), blue+white (BW), blue+red (BR) with 50 (L) or $100(H){\mu}mol/m^2/s^1$ photosynthetic photon flux (PPF) under hydroponic culture system of deep flow technique for 50 days. Shoot fresh weight increased under the RH, BWH, and BRH treatments with higher PPF. Shoot elongation of the seedlings decreased, and polyphenol synthesis promoted by the higher light intensity conditions. Sugar synthesis in the leaves was above 2 times greater under the RH treatment of monochromic red light quality with $100{\mu}mol/m^2/s^1\;PPF$ than $50{\mu}mol/m^2/s^1\;PPF$. CONCLUSION: The results show that the control of light quality and intensity in the smart greenhouse conditions with artificial lights significantly affects the growth and compound synthesis in the fresh kale leaves with higher culture efficiency compared to the conventional soil culture under greenhouse or field conditions. Researches on the optimum light intensities of the LEDs with special spectral wavelengths are necessary for maximum growth and metabolism in the seedlings.

The thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) are commonly used to measure and record the expose of individuals to ionization radiation. Design and performance test results of a newly developed TL and OSL measurement system are presented in this paper. For this purpose, the temperature of the TL material can be controlled precisely in the range of $1{\sim}1.5^{\circ}C$ by using high-frequency (35 kHz) heating system. This high-frequency power supply was made of transformer with ferrite core. For optical stimulation, we have completed an optimal combination of the filters with the arrangement of GG420 filter for filtering the stimulating light source and a UG11 filter at the detecting window (PMT). By using a high luminance blue LED (Luxeon V), sufficient luminous intensity could be obtained for optical stimulation. By using various control boards, the TL/OSL reader device was successfully interfaced with a personal computer. A software based on LabView program (National Instruments, Inc.) was also developed to control the TL/OSL reader system. In this study, a multi-functional TL/OSL dosimeter was developed and the performance testing of the system was carried out to confirm its reliability and reproducibility.
