We analyzed the absorption spectra of acetone in the 3.37 ㎛ mid-infrared range using the off-axis integrated cavity output spectroscopy technique to develop a real-time, in-line breath analysis device. The linear relationship between acetone concentration and absorption increase was confirmed as 0.32%/ppm, indicating that the developed device allows for a quantitative analysis of acetone concentration in exhaled breath. To further confirm the feasibility of using our device for breath analysis, we measured the acetone concentration of human breath samples at the sub-ppm level.

펄스형 방전플라즈마 발생장치인 플라스마 포커스장치에서 발생하는 가시광선영역의 빛을 시간적분 분석법으로 분광 분석하였다. 플라스마 포커스장치는 펄스방전에 의해 전기에너지를 빛에너지로 발생시킬 수 있는 장치이다. 분광분석기는 초점거리가 0.5 m인 모노크로메터를 사용하였다. 시간적분 분석법은 분광된 일정한 범위의 가시광선영역의 파장대를 필름에 현상하여 densitometer로 분석하는 방법이다. 가시광선 발생은 방전전압과 기체압력의 최적조건에서 발생되었는데 방전전압은 13kV이고 아르곤과 헬륨기체가 가시광선영역의 빛을 발생시키는데 사용되었다.

A wavelength filter based on a polymer Bragg reflector has received much attention due to its simple structure and wide tuning range. Tilted Bragg gratings and asymmetric Y-branches are integrated to extract the reflected optical signals in different directions. To optimize device performance, design procedures are thoroughly considered and various design parameters are applied to fabricated devices. An asymmetric Y-branch with an angle of $0.3^{\circ}$ produced crosstalk less than -25 dB, and the even-odd mode coupling was optimized for a grating tilt angle of $2.5^{\circ}$, which closely followed the design results. Through this experiment, it was confirmed that this device has a large manufacturing tolerance, which is important for mass production of this optical device.

Due to their high degree of freedom to transfer and acquire light, fiber optics can be used in the presence of strong magnetic fields. Hence, optical sensing and imaging based on fiber optics can be integrated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diagnostic systems to acquire valuable information on biological tissues and organs based on a magnetic field. In this article, we explored the combination of MRI and optical sensing/imaging techniques by classifying them into the following topics: 1) functional near-infrared spectroscopy with functional MRI for brain studies and brain disease diagnoses, 2) integration of fiber-optic molecular imaging and optogenetic stimulation with MRI, and 3) optical therapeutic applications with an MRI guidance system. Through these investigations, we believe that a combination of MRI and optical sensing/imaging techniques can be employed as both research methods for multidisciplinary studies and clinical diagnostic/therapeutic devices.

펄스형 방전플라즈마 발생장치인 플라스마 포커스장치에서 발생하는 가시광선영역의 빛을 시간분해분석법과 시간적분분석법으로 분광분석하였다. 플라스마포커스장치는 전극이 동축형으로 사용되었고, 시간 용해분석법은 고정된 파장의 광펄스를 오실로스코프로 분석하였으며, 시간 적분법을 일정한 범위의 파장대를 필림에 현상하여 densitometer로 분석하였다. 가시광선발생은 방전전압과 기체압력을 변수로 측정하여 방전전압은 17 kV이고 기체압력은 아르곤기체일 경우 0.5 torr가 최적조건이었다.

Low-threshold optical bistability is essential for practical nonlinear optical applications. Many bistable optical devices based on high-quality-factor resonators have been proposed to reduce the threshold intensity. However, demonstrating high-quality-factor resonance requires complex fabrication techniques. In this work, we numerically demonstrate optical bistability with bound states in the continuum in a simple one-dimensional Si photonic crystal. The designed structure supports bound states in the continuum, producing an ultrahigh quality factor without tough fabrication conditions. The threshold intensity of the designed device is 150 MW/cm² at the optical communication wavelength. This scheme may lead to a new class of nonlinear photonics.

본 연구에서는 광통신 시스템에 있어서 필수적인 기능으로 전망되고 있는 전광 논리소자를 구현하기 위한 집적된 광소자를 제작, 측정 하였다. 유기금속화학증착법(MOCVD)을 이용한 선택영역 성장기술을 이용하여 서로 다른 두 활성영역을 한 기판위에 성장함으로써 능동 반도체 광소자인 반도체 광증폭기와 수동 반도체 광소자인 다중모드 간섭 도파로, S-자 도파로를 집적하였다. 집적된 수동 소자부분의 손실을 측정하고 전광 논리소자를 구현하는 방법 중 하나인 반도체 광증폭기의 cross-gain modulation(XGM)특성을 측정하여 집적된 전광 논리소자로의 사용 가능성을 알아보았다.

실리콘과 전광 고분자 물질을 기반으로 한 새로운 광 결정 광변조기를 제안하고, 설계 및 검증을 수행하였다. 이는 실리콘 물질로 된 광 결정 도파로의 중심에 전광 고분자 물질로 된 슬롯 형태의 도파로를 삽입한 구조로 구성된다. 좁은 폭의 전광 고분자 슬롯도파로를 진행하는 광 신호는 주변의 광 결정 구조에 의해 매우 낮은 군속도를 갖게 될 뿐만 아니라, 전광 고분자 내로의 강한 광학적 구속력을 갖게 되어 광-물질 간의 활발한 상호작용과 매우 높은 전기-광학적 효과를 얻을 수 있다.

We theoretically analyze and experimentally demonstrate a polarization-diversified four-channel optical demultiplexer (DeMUX) comprising a hybrid mode conversion-type polarization splitter rotator (PSR) and delayed Mach-Zehnder interferometer optical DeMUX for use in coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM)-based optical interconnect applications. The Si wire-based device fabricated by a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor-compatible process exhibited nearly the same filter spectral response irrespective of the input polarization state under the PSR. The device had an extremely low insertion loss of <1.0 dB, polarization-dependent loss of <1.0 dB, and interchannel imbalance of <0.5 dB, suppressing unwanted wavelength and polarization crosstalk from neighboring channels of <-20 dB at each peak transmission channel grid.

LED arrays with pixel numbers of $3{\times}3$, $4{\times}4$, and $5{\times}5$ have been studied in this paper in order to enhance the optical output power and decrease heat dissipation of an AlGaInP-based light emitting diode display device (pixel size of $280{\times}280{\mu}m$) fabricated by micro-opto-electro-mechanical systems. Simulation results showed that the thermal resistances of the $3{\times}3$, $4{\times}4$, $5{\times}5$ arrays were $52^{\circ}C/W$, $69.7^{\circ}C/W$, and $84.3^{\circ}C/W$. The junction temperature was calculated by the peak wavelength shift method, which showed that the maximum value appears at the center pixel due to thermal crosstalk from neighboring pixels. The central temperature would be minimized with $40{\mu}m$ pixel pitch and $150{\mu}m$ substrate thickness as calculated by thermal modeling using finite element analysis. The modeling can be used to optimize parameters of highly integrated AlGaInP-based LED arrays fabricated by micro-opto-electro-mechanical systems technology.
