Polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films were prepared by the phase separation method using the liquid crystal (E7) and prepolymers. This work investigated the electro-optical characteristics of various PDLC films. In order to have good contrast ratio, the polymer refractive index must be adjusted to the ordinary refractive index of the liquid crystal. The driving voltage of PDLC films were mainly affected by elastic deformation. E7-Ebecryl810-IOA-TMPTA-HMPPO system had good threshold voltage and driving voltage and E7-Ebecryl810-EHA-PEGDA-HMPPO system had good contrast ratio.

Ferro/antiferroelectricty of liquid crystalline phase of bent-core molecules has attracted great attention since the first discovery of antiferroelectric switching in achiral bent-shaped molecules by Watanabe et at. in 1996. This materials show interesting properties usually observed in chiral system, for example, chiral textures, ferro/antiferrroelectricity, strong SHG activity and linear optical activity. (omitted)

In this study, two kinds of smart accelerometers are investigated for the application of smart sensors to the structural health monitoring of infrastructures. Smart optical Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) type and Micro-Electo-Mechanical System (MEMS) type accelerometers are selected for this study and the high sensitive ICP type accelerometer is used for the reference sensor. Small size shaking table tests were performed with 3-story shear building model using random input ground motions. The output only modal identification was carried out using stochastic subspace identification and the performances of sensors are compared in modal domain indirectly. The modal sensitivity method was applied to update the story stiffness of numerical model and the updated results were verified using the additional experiments for the same structure with additional mass.

We have fabricated and evaluated a new Si pin photodetector for APF optical link. The fabricated device has the $p^{+}$-guard ring around the metal-semiconductor contact and the web patterned $p^{+}$-shallow diffused region in the light absorbing area. From the measurements of electo-optical characteristics under the bias of -5 V, the junction capacitance of 4 pF and the dark current of 180 pA were obtained. The optical signal current of 1.22 $\mu$A and the responsivity of 0.55 A/W were obtained when the 2.2 $\mu$W optical power with peak wavelength of 670 nm was incident on the device. The fabricated device showed the maximum spectral response in a spectrum of 650-700 nm. It is expected that the fabricated device can be very useful for detecting the optical signal in the application of red light optics.

The phase separated structure and the electo-optical properties of the polymer /liquid crystal(LC) composite films including a dye were investigated. The phase separated structure of the polymer /LC / dye composite film(GH composite film) including below 2wt% dye against LC was almost same with the composite film which does not include dye. But the electro-optical properties of the GH composite film strongly depended on weight fraction of the dye against the LC. The response time of the GH composite film increased with the increase of the dissolved dye in LC because the dye acts as a registivity for the orientation of LC molecules by the electric filed.
