We performed nonlinear transmission measurements and quantum-chemical calculations on dithienothiophene(DTT)-based molecules to gain insight into the effect of acceptor and donor groups on two-photon absorption(TPA) properties. The TPA intensity showed dispersion characteristics of the single-photon absorption spectrum. When the molecules included an asymmetric donor-acceptor pair, the single- and two-photon absorption maximum wavelengths were red-shifted more than when the molecules had a symmetric donor-donor structure. We interpreted this result as indicating that the $S_2$ state plays the dominating role in the absorption process of molecules with a symmetric structure. The experimental TPA ${\delta}$ values at the absorption peak wavelength showed a dependence on the structural variations. We found the self-consistent force-field theory and Hartree-Fock Hamiltonian with single configuration interaction formalism to be valid for evaluating TPA ${\delta}$. Although the quantum-chemical calculations slightly underestimated the experimental ${\delta}$ values obtained from nonlinear trans -mission measurements, they reasonably predicted the dependence of the ${\delta}$ value on the structural variations. We confirmed the role of molecular symmetry by observing that donor-donor substituted structure gave the highest experimental and theoretical TPA ${\delta}$ values and that the donor-acceptor substituted structure showed a greater red-shift in the TPA absorption maximum wavelength. Overall, the theoretical ${\delta}$ values of DTT-based molecules were in the order of $10^{-46}\;cm^4{\cdot}s{\cdot}photon^{-1}$ and are higher than that of AF-50 by nearly two orders of magnitude.

최근 모드변환기가 집적된 진행파형 반도체 광증폭기(SSC-TW-SOA)가 광섬유와의 광결합 효율 향상 및 저가격화를 위해 활발히 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 모드변환기의 구조가 단면 반사율에 미치는 영향을 실험 및 이론적으로 조사하였다. SSC-TW-SOA의 유효단면반사율을 낮추기 위해서는 수직 및 수평방향으로 충분히 모드변환을 행하고 동시에 기운단면 구조를 채용하는 것이 매우 효과적임을 이론적 및 실험적으로 확인하였다. 수직 및 수평방향의 모드변환기가 집적된 TW-SOA에 $20\mu\textrm{m}$ 길이의 창구조, $7^{\circ}$기운단면, 1% 무반사 코팅을 도입함으로써 0.1dB 이하의 작은 ASE ripple를 얻을 수 있었다.

KMRR의 중성자 스펙트럼은 기존 상업로와는 달리 경화되어 있으며, 흡수체가 그 내부에 중성자 증배물질을 내포할 수 있는 원통형이기 때문에 KMRR 흡수체의 노물리 특성은 아주 다르다. 하프니움 제어흡수체의 특성을 여러가지 조건에 대하여 연구하였다. 흡수체 내부의 물질, 흡수체 두께, 흡수체 자체의 연소효과 및 주변 또는 내부의 핵연료 연소도 둥을 고려하였다. 연구된 특성으로는 중성자 흡수에 대한 에너지별, 위치별 및 동위원소별 기여도와 반응도값이 있다. 중요한 흡수체 특성을 분석결과로부터 확인하였다.

The extended slip-weakening model was investigated by using a compiled set of source-spectrum-related parameters, i.e. seismic moment M_o, S-wave velocity V_s, corner-frequency f_c, and source-controlled high-cut frequency fmax, for 113 shallow crustal earthquakes (focal depth less than 25 km, M_W 3.0~7.5) that occurred in Japan from 1987 to 2016. The investigation was focused on the characteristics of stress drop, radiation energy-to-seismic moment ratio, radiation efficiency, and fracture energy release rate, G_c. The scaling relationships of those source parameters were also investigated and compared with those in previous studies, which were based on generally used singular models with the dimensionless numbers corresponding to f_c given by Brune and Madariaga. The results showed that the stress drop from the singular model with Madariaga's dimensionless number was equivalent to the breakdown stress drop, as well as Brune's effective stress, rather than to static stress drop as has been usually assumed. The scale dependence of stress drop showed a different tendency in accordance with the size category of the earthquakes, which may be divided into small-moderate earthquakes and moderate-large earthquakes by comparing to M_o = 10¹⁷~10¹⁸ Nm. The scale dependence was quite similar to that shown by Kanamori and Rivera. The scale dependence was not because of a poor dynamic range of recorded signals or missing data as asserted by Ide and Beroza, but rather it was because of the scale dependent V_r-induced local similarity of spectrum as shown in a previous study by the authors. The energy release rate G_c with respect to breakdown distance D_c from the extended slip-weakening model coincided with that given by Ellsworth and Beroza in a study on the rupture nucleation phase; and the empirical relationship given by Abercrombie and Rice can represent the results from the extended slip-weakening model, the results from laboratory stick-slip experiments by Ohnaka, and the results given by Ellsworth and Beroza simultaneously. Also the energy flux into the breakdown zone was well correlated with the breakdown stress drop, ${\tilde{e}}$ and peak slip velocity of the fault faces. Consequently, the investigation results indicate the appropriateness of the extended slip-weakening model.

Photosynthesis uses light energy to drive the oxidation of water at an oxygen-evolving catalytic site within photosystem II (PSII). Chlorophyll binding by the photosystem II subunit S protein, PsbS, was found to be necessary for energy-dependent quenching (qE), the major energy-dependent component of non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) in Arabidopsis thaliana. It is proposed that PsbS acts as a trigger of the conformational change that leads to the establishment of nonphotochemical quenching. However, the exact structure and function of PsbS in PSII are still unknown. Here, we clone and express the recombinant PsbS gene from Arabidopsis thaliana in E. coli and purify the resulting homogeneous protein. We used various biochemical and biophysical techniques to elucidate PsbS structure and function, including circular dichroism (CD), fluorescence, and DSC. The protein shows optimal stability at $4^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.5. The CD spectra of PsbS show that the conformational changes of the protein were strongly dependent on pH conditions. The CD curve for PsbS at pH 10.5 curve had the deepest negative peak and the peak of PsbS at pH 4.5 was the least negative. The fluorescence emission spectrum of the purified PsbS protein was also measured, and the ${\lambda}_{max}$ was found to be at 328 nm. PsbS revealed some structural changes under varying temperature and oxygen gas condition.

Ultraviolet weavelength (UV) of 366 nm produced clearer fluorescent dolor than that of 254 nm for the inspection of silkworm cocoons. Fluorescent color of silkworm cocoons varied in color, appears no relationship with the natural color under the normal light. Uniformity of fluorescent color was improved by selection of blue or yellow line from wild types. Blue and yellow, located at the opposite poles on the color solid and L*a*b* color system, confirmed as pure standard of fluorescent color in the silkworm races for commercial white cocoons. the cocoons with blue fluorescence occupied as high as 1.7 to 8.6 times than those with yellow in the Japanese silkworm races. Fluorescence of silkworm cocoon was not affected by forced flow dry at 70$^{\circ}C$ for 6 hrs. While the Japanese races revealed no sexual difference in fluorescent color, sex-dependence of the color was common in the Chinese races for commercial white cocoon. The fluorescence of cocoon shell of Chinese races showed clear separation of blue of median color. Silkworm strain of Dc20 and Fc24 were sexualy segregated 98.8${\pm}$1.20%, 99.0${\pm}$1.00% by cocoon fluorescence, as that of 99.3${\pm}$0.44% by typical larval marking of sex-limited inheritance. Specific expression of cocoon fluorescence, applicable to breeding of simple discrimination of sex for Chinese races, inspected thoroughly on the surface and inner layer of cocoon shell.

CdTe nanoparticles were synthesized in aqueous solution by colloidal method. The absorption and photoluminescence(PL) spectrum of the synthesized CdTe nanoparticles revealed the strong exitonic peak in the visible region. Photocurrent of CdTe nanoparticles were observed in the structure of Al/CdTe/ITO that was fabricated by spin coating of CdTe nanoparticles. The wavelength dependence of photocurrent was very similar to the absorption spectrum, indicating the charges generated by the absorption of photons give direct contribution to photocurrent. This study suggests that CdTe nanoparticles are very prospective materials for optoelectronics.

Incoherent broadband optical sources have been applied in various areas such as a light source for optical device characterization, fiber-optic gyroscopes$^{(1)}$ , and spectrum sliced light source in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) system$^{(2)}$ . To utilize the inherent low loss in silica optical fibers, various types of incoherent light sources are being developed. Among the light sources, the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) from a rare earth doped fiber has benefits in temperature stability, high output power, low polarization dependence over semiconductor diodes$^{(3)}$ . Recently erbium doped fibers (EDF) have been intensively researched for ASE sources as well as optical amplifiers$^{(4)}$ . The spectrum of ASE from an EDF, however, is limited in the 1520~1560 nm range in conventional configurations. In this letter we described a new broadband ASE source which included both the conventional ASE band of Er$^{3+}$ ion, 1520nm~1560nm and ASE band from Tm$^{3+}$ ions that extends the bandwidth further. For the first time, to the best knowledge of authors, a fiber ASE source based on the energy transfer between Er$^{3+}$ and Tm$^{3+}$ ions in the range of 1460~1550 nm, has been demonstrated using a single 980nm pump laser diode.

[ $ZnHgGa_4Se_8\;and\;ZnHgGa_4Se_8::Co^{2+}$ ] single crystals were grown by the Bridgman-Stockbarger method. The single crystals crystallized into a defect chalcopyrite structure. The optical energy band gap of the single crystals was investigated in the temperature range 11-300K. The optical energy band gap of the $ZnHgGa_4Se_8:Co^{2+}$ single crystal was smaller than that of the $ZnHgGa_4Se_8$ single crystal. The temperature dependence of the optical energy band gap of the single crystals was well fitted by the Varshni equqtion. The impurity optical absorption spectrum of the $ZnHgGa_4Se_8:Co^{2+}$ single crystal was measured in the wavelength region 300-2300 m at 80 K. Impurity absorption peaks in the spectrum were analyzed within the framework of the crystal field theory and were attributed to the electron transitions between the energy levels of $Co^{2+}$ sited in the Td symmetry point.
