In this paper, a new input method is proposed to improve shift-invariant property of a photorefractive correlator andwe implemented real-time optical pattern recognition system using it. In the conventional photorefractive correlator, it is vrey difficult to satisfy the Bragg condition in the pattern recognition process. So, correlation peak is decreased heavily for the shift of input image. If a liquid crystal television(LCTV) without an anlyzer is used as input device, we can get the correlation result regardless of shift of input image because beam path is not changed during storage of holographic filter and correlation process. Also recording time of a holographic matched filter in photorefractive crystal is reduced and the correlation peak is increased because incident beam on the LCTV is transmitted completely. Therefore total optical efficiency is improved. We compared and analyzed the correlation results of proposed photorefractive correlator by computer simulation and optical experiment. We used a BaTiO$_{3}$ single crystal which has high diffraction efficiency in optical experiment.

When concentration of vacancies in a CZ silicon crystal is defined by molar fraction $X_{B}$, the degree for supersaturation $\sigma$ is given by $[X_{B}-X_{BS}]/X_{BS}=X_{B}/X_{BS}-1=ln(X_{B}/X_{BS})$ because $X_{B}/X_{BS}$ is nearly equal to unity. Here, $X_{BS}$ is the saturated concentration of vacancies in a silicon crystal and $X_{B}$ is a little larger than $X_{BS}$. According to Bragg-Williams approximation, the chemical potential of the vacancies in the crystal is given by ${\mu}_{B}={\mu}^{0}+RT$ ln $X_{B}+RT$ ln ${\gamma}$, where R is the gas constant, T is temperature, ${\mu}^{0}$ is an ideal chemical potential of the vacancies and ${\gamma}$ is and adjustable parameter similar to the activity of solute in a solute in a solution. Thus, ${\sigma}(T)$ is equal to $({\mu}_{B}-{\mu}_{BS})/RT$. Driving force of nucleation for the vacancy agglomeration will be proportional to the chemical potentialdifference $({\mu}_{B}-{\mu}_{BS})/RT$ or ${\sigma}(T)$, while growth of the vacancy agglomeration is proportaional to diffusion of the vacancies and grad ${\mu}_{B}$.

2-dimensional scattering problem of electromagnetic waves by a periodic strip grating on a grounded dielectric slab in case of oblique incidence and arbitrary polarization is analyed by the vector Floquet modal expansion method. Solution convergence versus number of Chebyshev polynomial terms representing the unknown strip current density and number of space harmonics is examined, and some numerical results such as variation of power of significant space harmonics(scattered mode) are compared with those obtained by previous method. In particaluar, the relationship between Bragg blazing phonmena and characteristics mode(current) on the srip is discussed in detail.

We propose a multiplexed fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor network for vessel monitoring to measure the variation of strain and temperature by environmental perturbation based on code division multiple access (CDMA). The center wavelength of FBG was linearly changed by environmental perturbation such as strain and temperature variation so that we could be monitoring the state of sensors. A RSOA was used as optical broadband source and which was modulated by using pseudo random binary sequence (PRBS) signal. The correlation peak of reflected signal from sensor networks was measured. In this paper, we used the sliding correlation techniques for high speed response and dynamic rage of sensors.

대형화, 고압화되고 있는 전력설비는 사고가 발생할 경우 그에 수반되는 산업, 경제, 사회적인 손실의 규모가 매우 커지는 경향을 가진다. 특히 적정온도 이상에서의 운전은 전력설비의 오동작을 일으키는 주요한 원인 중 하나이므로 비정상적인 온도상승을 조기에 감지하여 사고의 가능성을 감소시키는 시스템의 개발은 안정적인 전력설비 운용에 반드시 필요한 요소기술이다. 기존의 감시 시스템은 대부분 여러 위치의 정보를 동시에 얻기 위하여 여러 개의 개별 센서를 배열하여야하므로 대형중량화가 불가피하다는 단점을 갖고 있다. 그러나 광섬유 FBG 온도센서는 전자기 간섭의 영향을 받지 않고, 여러 개의 센서를 하나의 광섬유 라인에 설치하여 동시에 여러 부위의 온도를 측정할 수 있는 준분배형 온도센서 구현이 가능하다는 장점으로 과열감시 시스템에 적합한 센서로 인식된다. 본 연구에서는 광섬유 FBG 온도센서를 이용하여 변압기 단락시험을 통해 변압기의 온도 변화를 T-type thermocouple(이하 TC)과 동일한 지점에서 측정하고, 그 데이터를 비교분석함으로써 광섬유 FBG 온도센서 시스템의 신뢰성을 검증하였고, 이를 전력용 변압기 과열감시 시스템으로 적용할 수 있음을 제시하였다.

In this research, optical fiber sensors and shape memory alloys (SMA) were incorporated into sandwich panels for development of a smart honeycomb sandwich structure with damage detection and shape recovery functions. First, small-diameter fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors were embedded in the adhesive layer between a CFRP face-sheet and an aluminum honeycomb core. From the change in the reflection spectrum of the FBG sensors, the debonding between the face-sheet and the core and the deformation of the face-sheet due to impact loading could be well detected. Then, the authors developed the SMA honeycomb core and bonded CFRP face-sheets to the core. When an impact load was applied to the panel, the cell walls of the core were buckled and the face-sheet was bent. However, after the panel was heated over the reverse transformation finish temperature of the SMA, the core buckling disappeared and the deflection of the face-sheet was relieved. Hence the bending stiffness of the panel could be recovered.

Hadron therapy, such as carbon and helium ions, is increasingly coming to the fore for the treatment of cancers. Such hadron therapy has several advantages over conventional radiotherapy using photons and electrons physically and clinically. These advantages are due to the different physical and biological characteristics of heavy ions including high linear energy transfer and Bragg peak, which lead to the reduced exit dose, lower normal tissue complication probability and the increased relative biological effectiveness (RBE). Despite the promising prospects on the carbon ion radiation therapy, it is in dispute with which bio-mathematical models to calculate the carbon ion RBE. The two most widely used models are local effect model and microdosimetric kinetic model, which are actively utilized in Europe and Japan respectively. Such selection on the RBE model is a crucial issue in that the dose prescription for planning differs according to the models. In this study, we aim to (i) introduce the concept of RBE, (ii) clarify the determinants of RBE, and (iii) compare the existing RBE models for carbon ion therapy.

In this paper, we analyzed tuning characteristics of the widely tunable SGDFB laser diode integrated with SGDBR. The improved time-domain model is used to analyse the laser diode. From the numerical analysis, the length of phase control region in the SGDFB section influences on the output power and the tuning range. Also, it was confirmed that the tuning range is affected by the length of the laser diode, the residual reflectivity at the facet, and the position of the facet.

We made a laser induced grating spectrometer(LIGS) and measured the thermal grating signal generated in a $C_3$ $H_{8}$ flame. The thermal grating was formed in the C7Ha flame with two second-harmonic Nd:YAG pulse laser beams, and an LIGS signal was generated by Bragg scattering of a probe laser beam A $r^+.laser(488 nm). We found the modulation period of the signal depends linearly on the spacing of the grating set in the flame. We determined flame temperature by fitting the modulated signal and soot concentration with signal strength. Using this technique, we also obtained temperature profile and soot-particle distribution in a $C_3$ $H_{8}$ flame .e .

The mechanical alloying (MA) effect in immiscible V-Cu system with positive heat of mixing was studied by not only the neutron and X-ray diffraction but also the analysis of DSC spectra. The total energy, ΔHt accumulated during MA for the mixture of $V_{50}$ $Cu_{50}$ / powders increased with milling time and approached the saturation value of 14 kJ/mol after 120 h of milling. It can be seen that the free energy difference between the amorphous phase and the pure V and Cu powders with an atomic ratio 5:5 is estimated to be 11 kJ/mol by Miedema et al. This is thermodynamically taken as one of the evidences for the amorphization. The structural changes of V-Cu MA powders were characterized by the X-ray diffraction and neutron diffraction. We take a full advantage of a negligibly small scattering length of the V atom in the neutron diffraction measurement. The neutron diffraction data definitely indicate that the amorphization proceeds gradually but incompletely even after 120 h of MA and bcc-Cu Bragg peaks appears after 60 h of MA.
