Grating spectrograph observation in near-infrared bands requires wavelength calibrations. We first need to extract order-strips from the echellogram data using flat images, and then to correct the spatial distortions and wavelength scales of the order strips using calibration arc lamps or the telluric OH emission lines. For very high resolution spectrograph using echelle, however, the arc lamps do not have enough emission lines in the order-strips, so we usually use the OH lines for accurate wavelength calibrations in wavelengths shorter than 2.3 microns. In this poster, we present wavelength calibration methods for longer wavelength bands using the telluric absorption lines in early-type stellar spectra and the telluric atmospheric transmission models. This technique will be applied to the data reduction pipeline for the IGRINS.

Benzyl arylether dendrimers with zinc porphyrin core and terminal vinyl groups have been synthesized and their photophysical properties and the influence of dendritic environments were investigated. Free base porphyrin-cored benzyl arylether dendrimers 1a-1c and 3a-3c, and their zinc derivatives 2a-2c and 4a-4c have been prepared. Absorption spectra are similar for all porphyrin-cored benzyl arylether dendrimers, except that absorption intensity at 280 nm increases in the higher generation of dendrimer. Fluorescence spectra are similar with two bands for all free base porphyrin dendrimers 1a-1c and 3a-3c, although fluorescence intensity ratio of shorter wavelength emission band to longer wavelength band varies with the generation of dendrimer. Emission efficiencies of 1a-1c and 3a-3c are lower than that of TTP. Emission efficiencies of 2a-2c and 4a-4c are higher than that of ZnTTP. Absorption and emission properties of 1a-1c, 2a-2c, 3a-3c, and 4a-4c were affected negligibly with dendritic environments.

The wavelength dependence of the photoacoustic signal for n-type GaAs semiconductors in the region of the band-gap energies was investigated. The significant changes in the phase and amplitude of the photoacoustic signal near the band-gap absorption wavelengths were observed to occur when the Si-doping densities in GaAs were varied. Particularly, the first derivatives of the photoacoustic phase vs. wavelength graphs were evaluated and fitted with single Gaussian functions. The peak centers and the widths of the Gaussian curves clearly showed linear relationships with the log values of the Si-doping densities in n-type GaAs semiconductors. It is proposed that the wavelength-dependent PA spectroscopy can be used as a simple and nondestructive method for measuring the doping densities in bulk semiconductors.

The excitation wavelength dependence of laser ablation dynamics of an azobenzene-containing urethane-urea copolymer film was investigated by measuring the laser fluence dependence of etch depth, transient absorbance change at each excitation wavelength, and transient absorption spectra. Moreover expansion/contraction dynamics was studied by applying nanosecond time-resolved interferometry. The threshold was determined at several excitation wavelengths from etch depth measurement, while time-integrated absorbance was obtained under excitation conditions. The photon energy required to remove the topmost of surface layer of the film did not .depend on excitation wavelength, and the penetration depth of excitation pulse dominated the etch depth. When the excitation wavelength was longer than 500 nm, permanent swelling was clearly observed but not for shorter wavelength excitation. In the latter case, photoisomerization occurred during excitation and the following photoreduction may play an important role. On the basis of the observations made in this study, a photochemical and photothermal mechanisms can explain mostly the short and long wavelength excitation results, respectively.

There are several factors affecting the effectiveness of polymerization of the esthetic restorative materials. Among those factors, the initiator. camphoroquinone has the unique characteristic. of which the light sensitivity is very dependent on the wavelength of blue light. Camphoroquinone shows the most light absorption ability in the wavelength range of 470nm. So most of clinically used light curing systems adopt this phenomenon as their polymerization mechanism. The most popular way of light curing system is standard 40 second curing. But the problem of standard curing technique shows the rapid increase of resin viscosity followed by the acceleration of polymerization and the limited resin flow, resulted in reduction of the physicalproperty of restoration by retained stress. The object of this study was to verify the effects of narrow-banded wavelength on the microhardness of the esthetic restorative materials. a composite resin and a compomer, using filters which have peak wave length of 430nm, 450nm, 470nm, respectively. The results were as follows: 1. All the experimental groups showed lower hardness value than the control group. 2. In DyractAP, the hardness value by wavelength showed the same changing pattern on both upper and lower surfaces. 3. In DenFil, the hardness value by wavelength showed different changing pattern on upper and lower surfaces. 4. The hardness ratio showed similar pattern to the hardness variation of lower surface. but there was no significant difference between measurement in 10 minutes and 3 days later, besides the increase of hardness value.

In this paper, we propose a novel sub-wavelength unit cell metamaterial absorber using multi-layer structure. The proposed absorber consists of 4 layers, and each layer has a spiral resonator connected by a via hole. This structure increases inductance of the unit cell, and therefore the resonant frequency can shift to lower frequency. We optimized the proposed absorber, and the electrical size of the unit cell is dramatically reduced to 0.013 times of the wavelength. The performance of the proposed absorber is demonstrated with full-wave simulation and measurement results. An absorption rate exceeding 97% is achieved at 1.74GHz. In addition, the proposed absorber attains a high absorption rate of 90% for different polarization and incident angles.

A gap surface plasmon resonator have received considerable attention because it can dramatically enhance the absorption of the electromagnetic field. However, whereas most of studies were just focused on the absorption within a narrow range of wavelength, few studies have been performed for the broadband absorption in the visible range. Therefore, in this study, we discuss methods that can induce broadband light absorption using gap plasmon resonance in visible regime. The gap plasmon resonator will offer great potential for appplications to solar cells and bioimaging.

The ${CO}_2$ laser absorption measurement of ${CH}_3{CH}_2Br$ utilizing photoacoustic (PA) technique was performed using a cw and a pulsed ${CO}_2$ lasers. The absorption profile in the ${CO}_2$ laser wavelength region (9-10 ${\mu}$m) and the macroscopic small signal absorption cross section at 10P(20) (10.59 ${\mu}$m, 944 $cm^{-1}$) laser line were measured using a cw ${CO}_2$ laser. The laser fluence dependence on infrared multiphoton absorption (IRMPA) was also studied with a pulsed TEA ${CO}_2$ laser at 10P(20) laser line. In view of monotonic increase of PA signal with the rise of laser fluence, it was suggested that the anharmonicity in pumped vibration mode did not restrict ir multiphoton absorption in ${CH}_3{CH}_2Br$ system as found in large molecular system.

A scheme for predicting the concentration of a glucose solution based on its relative optical absorbance at multiple probe wavelengths was proposed and verified. The relative absorbance at each of the probe wavelength was obtained with respect to the absorbance at a reference wavelength. The single reference wavelength (1310 nm) and a group of four different probe wavelengths (1064, 1550, 1685, 1798 nm) were selected to exhibit the glucose absorbance with opposite signs, thereby enhancing the accuracy of the prediction. The final glucose concentration was estimated by taking the average of the predicted values provided by the four probe wavelengths. The absorbance of the glucose solution for the path length of 5 mm was $-1.42{\times}10^{-6}\;AU$/(mg/dL) at the reference wavelength of 1310 nm and peaked at $+8.12{\times}10^{-6}\;AU$/(mg/dL) at 1685 nm. The concentration of the glucose solution was decently predicted by means of the proposed scheme with the standard error of prediction of ${\sim}28\;mg/dL$. In addition, the influence of the ambient temperature and the fat thickness upon the prediction of the glucose concentration was examined. The absorption change with the temperature was $-9.1{\times}10^{-5}\;AU/^{\circ}C$ in the temperature range of $26{\sim}40^{\circ}C$ at the reference wavelength, and $-2.08{\times}10^{-2}\;AU/^{\circ}C$ at 1550 nm. And the absorption change with respect to the fat thickness was +1.093 AU/mm at the probe wavelength of 1685 nm.

Based on calculations using the macroscopic Maxwell's equations with mesoscopic boundary conditions, light absorption by a layered metal-insulator-metal (MIM) metamaterial system embedded in three different environments is investigated. Increasing the top metal thickness shifts the broad absorption band to lower dielectric-constant regions and longer wavelengths, for either TM or TE waves. Boosting the dielectric-layer thickness redshifts the broadband absorption to regions of larger dielectric constant. In air, for the dielectric-constant range of 0.86-3.40, the absorption of the system exceeds 98% across 680-1,033 nm. In seawater with optimized dielectric constant, ≥94% light absorption over 400-1,200 nm can be achieved; particularly in the wavelength range of 480-960 nm and dielectric-constant range of 0.82-3.50, the absorption is greater than 98%. In an environment with even higher refractive index (1.74), ≥98% light absorption over 400-1,200 nm can be achieved, giving better performance. The influence of angle of incidence on light absorption of the MIM system is also analyzed, and the angle tolerance for ≥90% broadband absorption of a TM wave is up to 40° in an environment with large refractive index. While the incident-angle dependence of the absorption of a TE wave is nearly the same for different circumstances, the situation is different for a TM wave.
