In this study, the thermal and optical proper-ties of multicomponent oxide glass fiber for IR sensor by adding heavy metal oxide Ga$_{2}$O$_{3}$ were investigated. The fiber samples were made by rod-in tube method. The optical loss of fiber was measured in 0.3-1.8/M wavelength region. As Ga$_{2}$O$_{3}$ increased up to 12wt%, the transition and softening temperature of bulk glass were increased from 495.deg. C to 564.deg. C and from 548.deg. C to 612.deg. C respectively. Whereas the thermal expansion coefficient was decreased from 102 to 88.2*10$^{-7}$ /.deg. C. The refractive index was increased from 1.621 to 1.662, and IR cut-off wavelength was enlarged from 4.64.mu.m to 5.22.mu.m. The optical loss of fiber was decreased and more remarkably decreased in 1.146.mu.m-1.8.mu.m wavelength region.

In this study, we used the sputtering method with single target to obtain the thick and uniform PZT($PbZrTiO_3$) films for micromached IR sensor application. Then, we investigated the etching characteristics and conditions which is necessary process to fabricate the IR sensor. We tested the C-axis orientation and P-E loop of the deposited PZT films with the XRD and RT66A, respectively. Also we investigated the surface of the films by the AFM and SEM analysis.

The reflector of infrared lamp is designed to the optimal circular shape through the analyses of lumination distributions with a triangular, rectangular and circular configurations of infrared lamps respectively by using Photopia. PLC is used to compare and amplify the difference between soldering temperature profile and feedback value. It is fed to IR lamp controller which adjusts the soldering temperature of PV cell. The soldering temperature measured using an infrared temperature sensor is then fed back to the PLC. The closed control loop of soldering temperature on a PV cell is implemented. The noncontact soldering device of PV cells using infrared lamp which is easily operated by HMI operation panel and controlled robustly by PLC and IR lamp controller is developed.

This paper presents a localization system based on the use of electric compass and tracking IR light source. Digital RGB(Red, Green, Blue)signal of digital CMOS Camera is sent to CPLD which converts the color image to binary image at 30 frames per second. CMOS camera has IR filter and UV filter in front of CMOS cell. The filters cut off above 720nm light source. Binary output data of CPLD is sent to DSP that rapidly tracks the IR light source by moving Camera tilt DC motor. At a robot toward north, electric compass signals and IR light source angles which are used for calculating the data of the location system. Because geomagnetic field is linear in local position, this location system is possible. Finally, it is shown that position error is within ${\pm}1.3cm$ in this system.

In this paper we proposed an energy consumption model for IR-UWB wireless sensor networks. The model takes the advantages of PHY-MAC cross layer design, and we used slotted and un-slotted sleeping protocols to compare the energy consumption. We addressed different system design issues that are responsible to energy consumption and proposed an optimum model for the system design. We expect the slotted sleeping will consume less energy for bursty load than that of the un-slotted one. But if we consider latency, the un-slotted sleeping model performs better than the slotted sleeping case.

This is a widespread requirement for low cost lightweight thermal imaging sensors for both military and civilian applications. Today, a large number of uncooled infrared detector developments are under progress due to the availability of silicon technology that enables realization of low cost IR sensor. System prices are continuing to drop, and swelling production volume will soon drive process substantially lower. The feasibility of micromechanical optical and infrared (IR) detection using microcantilevers is demonstrated. Microcantilevers provide a simple Structurefor developing single- and multi-element sensors for visible and infrared radiation that are smaller, more sensitive and lower in cost than quantum or thermal detectors. Microcantilevers coated with a heat absorbing layer undergo bending due to the differential stress originating from the bimetallic effect. This paper reports a micromachined silicon uncooled thermal imager intended for applications in automated process control. This paper presents the design, fabrication, and the behavior of cantilever for thermomechanical sensing.

We fabricated reduced graphene oxide field-effect transistor (RGO-FET) on glass for highly sensitive temperature and IR detection. The device has the channels of RGO responsive to physical stimuli such as temperature and IR. The RGO sensing layers are fabricated from exfoliated graphene oxide sheets that are deposited to form a thin continuous network by electrostatic assembly. These graphene oxide networks are reduced toward reduce graphene oxide by exposure to a hydrazine hydrate vapor. To improve performance and eliminate interferences from oxygen and water vapor absorption to electrical properties of RGO-FET, the sensor devices were encapsulated by the tetratetracontane layer after annealing treatment. The device with encapsulation layer showed lower hysteresis, improved stability, and better repeatability. The temperature response of RGO-FET is examined by measuring changing the temperature, the device exhibited the high sensitivity and repeatability even with the temperature interval of 1 K. We also demonstrated that our devices have capability of IR sensing.
