The visible-light communication (VLC) system is a promising candidate to fulfill the present and future demands for a high-speed, cost-effective, and larger-bandwidth communication system. VLC modulates the visible-light signals from solid-state LEDs to transmit data between transmitter and receiver, but the broadcasting and the line-of-sight propagation nature of visible-light signals make VLC a communication system with a limited operating range. We present a novel architecture to increase the operating range of VLC. In our proposed architecture, we guide the visible-light signals through the fiber and amplify the dissipated signals using visible-light fiber amplifiers (VLFAs), which are the most important and the novel devices needed for the proposed architecture of the VLC. Therefore, we design, analyze, and apply a VLFA to VLC, to overcome the inherent drawbacks of VLC. Numerical results show that under given constant conditions, the VLFA can amplify the signal up to 35.0 dB. We have analyzed the effects of fiber length, active ion concentration, pump power, and input signal power on the gain and the noise figure (NF).

To fabricate white LED having a high color rendering index value, red color phosphor mixed with the green color phosphor together in the blue chip, namely the blue chips with RG phosphors packaging is most favorable for high power white LEDs. In our previous papers, we reported on successful syntheses of $Sr_{2-}$ $Si_5N_8:Eu^{2+}$ and $CaAlSiN_3$ phosphors for red phosphor. In this work, for high power green phosphor, greenemitting ternary nitride $Ba_3Si_6O_{12}N_2:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor was synthesized in a high frequency induction furnace under $N_2$ gas atmosphere at temperatures up to $1400^{\circ}C$ using $EuF_3$ as a raw material for $Eu^{2+}$ dopant. The effects of molar ratio of component and experimental conditions on luminescence property of prepared phosphors have been investigated. The structure and luminescence properties of prepared $Ba_3Si_6O_{12}N_2:Eu^{2+}$ phosphors were investigated by XRD and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The excitation spectra of $Ba_3Si_6O_{12}N_2:Eu^{2+}$ phosphors indicated broad excitation wavelength range of 250 - 500 nm, namely from UV to blue region with distinct enhanced emission spectrum peaking at ${\approx}530nm$.

Energy Harvesting is a technology that can convert wasted energy such as vibration, heat, light, electromagnetic energy, etc. into usable electrical energy. Among them, vibration-based piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH) has high energy conversion efficiency with a small volume; thus, it is expected to be used in various autonomous powering devices, such as implantable medical devices, wearable devices, and energy harvesting from road or automobiles. In this study, wasted vibration energy in an automobile is converted into electrical energy by high-power piezoelectric materials, and the generated electrical energy is found to be an auxiliary power source for the operation of wireless sensor nodes, LEDs, etc. inside an automobile. In order to properly install the PEH in an automobile, vibration characteristics includes frequency and amplitude at several positions in the automobile is monitored initially and the cantilever structured PEH was designed accordingly. The harvesting properties of fabricated PEH is characterized and installed into the engine part of the automobile, where the vibration amplitude is stable and strong. The feasibility of PEH is confirmed by operating electric components (LEDs) that can be used in practice.

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) can produce power from ambient mechanical sources and have strong points of high output performance, light weight, low cost, and easy manufacturing process. It is expected that TENG can be utilized in the fields of wireless electronics and self-powered devices in the world which pays attention to healthcare and the IoT. In this work, we focus on scavenging ambient rotational energy by using a durably designed TENG. In previous studies regarding harvesting rotation mode energy, the devices were based on sliding mechanism and durability was not considered as a major issue. However friction by rotation causes reliability problems due to wear and tear. Therefore, in this study, we convert rotary motion to linear motion utilizing a cam by which we can then utilize contact-mode TENG and improve device reliability. In order to increase output performance, bumper springs were used below the TENG and the optimum value for the bumper spring constant was analyzed theoretically. Furthermore, the inserting a soft substrate was proposed and its effect on high output was determined to be due to an increase in the contact area. By increasing the number of cam noses, the output frequency was shown to increase linearly. For the purpose of maximum power transfer, the input impedance of the device was determined. Finally, to demonstrate the use of the C-TENG as a direct power source, it was installed on a commercial bicycle wheel and connected to 180 LEDs. In conclusion we present a rotational motion TENG energy scavenger system designed for enhanced durability and optimized output by appropriate choice of spring constants and substrate.

백색 LED(Light Emitting Diode:발광다이오드)는 고휘도, 향상된 안정성, 낮은 전력 소비, 그리고 긴 수명 등 유리한 특성을 제공한다. LED는 전기 신호를 광신호로 변환시킴으로써 광통신 실내 무선 광 조명실뿐만 아니라, 무선 광 통신 시스템에도 사용되는 전자 소자이다. 현재 이러한 백색 LED에 대해서 다양한 연구가 진행 중이며, 본 논문에서는 이러한 백색 LED를 이용한 VLC(Visible Light Communication:가시광통신)의 다중 접속 방식을 논의한다. 제안된 시스템에서는 현 VLC 시스템의 간섭을 줄이고, 수용량을 늘리기 위해 CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access:코드 분할 다중 접속)를 VLC시스템에 적용한다. 또한 AWGN(Additive White Gaussian Noise) 채널과 Diffuse 채널에서의 OOK(On-off keying) 변조와 BPSK 변조를 사용한 VLC-CDMA통신 시스템을 비교해봄으로써 OOK 변조의 우수성을 결과의 분석을 통하여 나타내었다. 그리고 다중경로환경에서와 AWGN환경에서의 BER을 비교함으로써 다중경로에 의한 간섭의 해결의 중요성을 검토한다. 다중 접속 방식으로 인한 ISI(Inter Symbol Interference)를 제거하여 시스템의 효율을 높이기 위해 Directed LOS(Line Of Sight)와 Diffuse Link를 가정하여 광 확산 코드인 OOC(Optical Orthogonal Code: 광 직교 코드)를 적용한 VLC-CDMA를 제안하고, 성능 분석을 제시한다.

Commercialization of surface lighting using Light Emitting Diodes (LED) has embraced the advance to Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) technology. This is necessary to achieve light-efficiency-improvement and longer component life. The range of application of LED lighting for both interior and outdoor lights has been gradually expanding. Automobiles and home appliances are now included. In the case of LED surface lighting in a domestic refrigerator, achieving high efficiency requires optimization of the number of LEDs in a pack. Optimization is also required in the design stage of development with regard to the conversion of the light source type from point light sources to the surface light type. This paper addresses these design problems. It presents a study of brightness variations for design solutions that differ from the existing technology in both the number of LED packages and use of Light Gathering Power (LGP) information. The intention is to facilitate production of high brightness LED surface lighting for domestic refrigerators.

많은 기업들이 사업화를 추진하고 있는 LED 조명은 대표적인 녹색에너지 기술로 현재 우수한 제품들이 비교적 많이 공급되고 있다. 그러나 방송영상용 LED조명은 일반 가로등, 광고용 또는 운송기구용 LED조명 장치들에 비해 출력이 높으면서 휴대가 간편해야한다. 따라서 방송영상 촬영 시 크기가 크고 취급 또한 불편한 할로겐등과 형광등의 대체광원으로 LED를 사용한다면 장비의 경량화를 통하여 방송영상조명 장비산업의 활성화가 될 것으로 예측된다. LED 모듈 보드는 양산성과 칩 마운터의 SMT 생산 가능 사이즈를 고려한 후 모델별 제품의 전체적인 사이즈를 고려하여 보드 사이즈를 결정하였다. 본 논문에서는 80W 보드를 제작해기위해 20W LED보드 4장을 세로로 배치하였다. 즉 모델별 LED 모듈 보드 사이즈를 공용화하여 120W, 200W의 고출력 LED 조명장비를 보드 수의 증가로 선택할 수 있다.

High crystalline nonpolar a-plane (11-20) nitride light emitting diodes (LEDs) have been fabricated on r-plane (1-102) sapphire substrates by metalorganic chemical-vapor deposition (MOCVD). The multi-quantum wells (MQWs) active region is consists of 4 periods the nonpolar a-plane InGaN/GaN(a-InGaN/GaN) on a high quality a-plane GaN (a-GaN) template grown by using the multibuffer layer technique. The full widths at half maximum (FWHMs) of x-ray rocking curve (XRC) obtained from phiscan of the specimen that was grown up to nonpolar a-plane GaN LED layers with double crystal x-ray diffraction. The FWHM values were decreased down to 477 arc sec for $0^{\circ}$ and 505 arc sec for $-90^{\circ}$, respectively. After fabricating a conventional lateral LED chip which size was $300{\times}600{\mu}m^2$, we measured the optical output power by on-wafer measurements. N-electrode was made with Cr/Au contact, and ITO on p-GaN was formed with Ohmic contact using Ni/Au followed by inductively coupled plasma etching for mesa isolation. The optical output power of 1.08 mW was obtained at drive current of 20 mA with the peak emission wavelength of 502 nm.
