세 채널로 구성된 나노 크기의 플라즈마 방향성 결합기가 모드 결합효과와 립형 전송구조를 사용하여 설계되었다. 종방향 모드 전송선로 해석법을 이용하여 방향성 결합기에서 전파하는 빛의 전파특성과 설계특성들을 분석하였다. 전력분배기로 동작하는 플라즈마 방향성 결합기는 약 200~250 nm의 전송 폭을 갖는 나노 크기로 설계하였다. 최적의 전력분배율을 얻기 위하여 중심 채널의 폭 변화에 따른 전송 모드들의 굴절률을 분석하였다. 결국, 하향 채널에서 입사된 광 신호를 각 채널을 통하여 출력하는 나노 크기의 플라즈마 방향성 결합기가 설계되었다.

Six sigma methode was applied for optimization of flow field design of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). The optimization between number of channel and channel/rib width was suggested in this paper with six sigma method. With the help of six sigma design of experiment (DOE) the number of experiments may be reduced dramatically. The fuel cell channel design optimization with results of these experiments with a 100 $cm^2$ serpentine flow field indicates a optimization data for a given constant operating conditions.

We studied an integrated-optic biosensor configuration that operates at a wavelength of 0.63 ㎛ based on the evanescent-wave and two horizontal mode power coupling of Si₃N₄ rib-optical waveguides formed on a Si/SiO₂/Si₃N₄/SiO₂ multilayer thin films. The sensor consists of a single-mode input waveguide, followed by a two-mode section which acts as the sensing region, and a Y-branch output for separating the two output waveguides. The coupling between the two propagating modes in the sensing region produces a periodically repeated optical power exchanges along the propagation. A light power was steered from one output channel to the other due to the change in the cladding layer (bio-material) refractive index, which affected the effective refractive index (phase-shift) of two modes through evanescent-wave. Waveguide analyses based on the rib optical waveguide dimensions were performed using various numerical computational software. Sensitivity values of 12~23 and 65~165 au/RIU, respectively for the width and length of 4 ㎛, and 3841.46 and 26250 ㎛ of the two-mode region corresponding to the refractive index range 1.36~1.43 and 1.398~1.41, respectively, were obtained.

The configuration of the flow channel on a bipolar plate of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell(PEMFC) for efficient reactant supply has great influence on the performance of the fuel cell. Recent demand for higher energy density fuel cells requires an increase in current density at mid voltage range and a decrease in concentration overvoltage at high current density. Therefore, an interdigitated flow channel where mass transfer rate by convection through a gas diffusion layer is greater than the mass transfer by a diffusion mechanism through a gas diffusion layer was recently proposed. This study attempts to analyze the i-V performance, mass transfer and pressure drop in interdigitated flow channels by developing a fully three dimensional simulation model for PEMFC that can deal with anode and cathode flow together. The results indicate that the trade off between performance and pressure loss should be considered for efficient design of flow channels. Although the performance of the fuel cell with interdigitated flow is better than that with conventional flow channels due to a strong mass transfer rate by convection across a gas diffusion layer, there is also an increase in friction due to the strong convection through the porous diffusion layer accompanied by a larger pressure drop along the flow channel. It was evident that the proper selection of the ratio of channel and rib width under counter flow conditions in the fuel cell with interdigitated flow are necessary to optimize the interdigitated flow field design.

광소자의 소형화와 집적화 노력에 따라 광도파로의 도파폭과 곡률 반경이 작아지면서, 그 경계조건을 만족하는 도파모드와 전파상수의 변화가 심하게 되었다. 특히, 도파폭의 좁아지면서 제작 공정상의 폭조절 오차한계 내의 작은 변화에도 전파상수가 크게 변화하게 되어, 배열도파로(Arrayed Waveguide Grating, AWG)소자에서는 각 도파로 진행광의 위상이 설계와 심하게 달라지고 소자의 성능에 영향이 커지게 되었다. 광소자의 소형화에 따라 심각해지는 이러한 근사설계 오차에 의한 영향을 정량적으로 분석하고 대처하기 위해, 여기서는 유효굴절률법(Effective Index Method)과 해석적 함수해(Analytic Solution Method)를 이요하여 여러 도파로 구조를 해석하여 전파특성 변수를 얻어내었다. 또한, 이를 적용하여 자체 제작한 고기능 전산시늉기를 통해 각종 InP-, Silica-AWG 소자의 성능을 모사하였다. 모사 결과는 실제 제작된 전형적인 소자와 비교하여 매우 유사한 경향을 나타내었으며, Ridge-type Inp-AWG 소자의 경우, 도파폭의 허용공차가 0.02$\mu\textrm{m}$ 이내로 개선될 때, AWG 소자의 신호대잡음비(SNR)가 약 -25dB 이상 가능하게 되며 Rib-type Silica-AWG 소자의 경우는 도파폭 허용공차가 0.1$\mu\textrm{m}$ 정도이기만 해도 약 -30dB 이상 가능한 것으로 모사되었다.

The heat generation in PEMFC is proportional to the electrical power output. Therefore, when the fuel cell produced the maximum output, the maximum heat was generated. In order to maintain the performance of the fuel cell, thermal management is as important as pressure and humidity conditions of the reactive gas. In this study, considering the thermal management for the maximum output operation, the optimal cooling channel design specifications of bipolar plate are found for the highest cooling performance. In the current bipolar plate research, many studies focused on analyzing various factors individually but there is no more study on the interaction between design factors. In this study, the heat transfer was simulated by COMSOL Multiphysics with the main design factors which are designated shape, width and rib length. One of the experimental design methods, general full factorial design method, was used to analyze the main factor and interaction on average temperature and maximum temperature for the design specification of fuel cell bipolar plate. When analysis result shows that all of these three factors are highly important, it can confirm that the interaction occurs between the factors.
