The purpose of this study was to determine optimum condition of Pavlova lutheri and Phaeodactylum tricornutum. Detailed studies were carried out on the effects of various wavelengths of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), light intensities and air flow rations. For the Pa. lutheri, cell growth rates and maximum cell concentrations were similar regardless of wavelengths and air flow rates. Among the different light intensities, cell concentration increased when light intensity of red LED increased. For Ph. tricornutum, red LED was found to be the most effective light source, and light intensity of 3,100 Lux resulted in the most effective for the cultivation of Ph. tricornutum. Different air flow rates were tested to overcome shading effects due to denser cell concentration in the solution. Aeration of 0.8 vvm was determined to be the optimum aeration rate for the cultivation of Ph. tricornutum. Especially, five and two times greater cell concentrations of Pa. lutheri and Ph. tricornutum, respectively, were observed when air was applied.

The purpose of this study was to clarify the effect of light emitting diode (LED) irradiation on healing of impaired wound and alteration of mast cells in experimental diabetic rats. Twenty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups: excision (Ex), excision-LED irradiation (Ex-LED), diabetes + excision (DM) and diabetes + excision + LED irradiation (DM-LED). Diabetes was induced in rats by streptozotocin (STZ) injection (70 mg/kg, single dose) and 6 mm punch excision wounds were created on the back after shaving hair. The LED-irradiated rats were treated to a daily dose of $5\;J/cm^2$ LED (630 nm) light for 11 days after surgery, and were killed at day 1, 3, 7 and 11. The lesion and adjacent skin tissues were excised, fixed with 10% buffered formalin and embedded with paraffin. For evaluation of wound healing, hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and Masson trichrome staining were performed. Mast cells (MCs) were stained with toluidine blue (pH 0.5) and quantified using a computerized image analysis system. The proliferation activity of keratinocyte in skin tissues was analyzed on sections immunostained with proliferative cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). The results showed that wound healing rate, collagen density and neo-epidermis length, number of PCNA-positive cells, fibroblasts and mast cells were significantly higher in the LED-irradiated rats than in the DM and Ex rats throughout the periods of experiment. Exceptionally, the number of MCs was significantly lower at day 11 compared with day 7 after surgery in the all groups. These findings suggest that the LED irradiation may promote the tissue repair process by accelerating keratinocyte and fibroblast proliferation and collagen production in normal rats as well as in diabetic rats, and MCs may play an important role at an early stage of skin wound healing in normal and diabetic rats.

GaN-based green light-emitting diode (LED) structures suffer from low internal quantum efficiency (IQE), known as the "green gap" problem. The IQE of LED structures is expected to be improved to some extent by exploiting the Purcell effect. In this study, the Purcell effect on the IQE of green LED structures is investigated numerically using a finite-difference time-domain simulation. The Purcell factor of flip-chip LED structures is found to be more than three times as high as that of epi-up LED structures, which is attributed to the high-reflectance mirror near the active region in the flip-chip LED structures. When the unmodified IQE is 20%, the relative enhancement of IQE can be greater than 50%, without utilizing the surface-plasmon coupling effect. Based on the simulation results, the "green gap" problem of GaN-based green LEDs is expected to be mitigated significantly by optimizing flip-chip LED structures to maximize the Purcell effect.

We present a detailed analysis of the light extraction efficiency (LEE) of a core-shell nanorod light emitting diode (LED) using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations. We found that the LEE has a deep dependence on source positions and polarization directions based on the calculated LEE results for every x and z position inside the core-shell nanorod structure. The LEEs are different for the upper part (pyramid) and the lower part (sidewall) of the core-shell nanorod owing to total internal reflection (TIR) and the generated optical modes in the structure. As a result, the LEE of sidewall is much larger than that of pyramid. The averaged LEE of the core-shell nanorod LED is also investigated with variable p-GaN thickness, n-GaN thickness, and height for the design guidelines for the optimized LEE of core-shell nanorod LEDs.

본 연구는 담수미세조류의 일종인 클로렐라를 적색 발광다이오드를 이용하여 효율적으로 배양하기 위한 조건을 찾기 위해 수행되었다. 클로렐라 배양에 최적인 광량을 찾기 위해 광량을 조절하여 클로렐라가 포함된 반응기에 각각 조사하여 성장속도 및 셀농도를 측정하였다. 적색파장 사용 시, 광량이 증가할수록 성장속도는 광량에 비례하여 증가하였으나 셀농도는 지속적으로 감소하였다. 공기 공급에 따른 성장특성을 살펴보기 위해 반응기에 미세공기를 연속적으로 주입하였는데, 반응속도 및 셀농도는 공기를 주입하지 않은 경우에 비해 2배와 10배 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 고농도의 이산화탄소 주입의 경우에는 배지의 pH가 3이하로 저하되어 클로렐라의 성장이 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 클로렐라를 효과적으로 배양하기 위해서는 적색파장의 발광다이오드를 광원으로 사용하고 반응기에 공기를 연속적으로 주입하는 것이 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

This paper introduces the use of a crown-shaped (CR) lens to effectively diffuse the light from a light-emitting diode (LED) without any loss in the light intensity, in contrast to polymer-bulb-type diffusers. The diffusion lens was designed based on the Snell's law, which describes the physical path of a ray passing through the boundary between different media. CR lenses were fabricated by polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) casting and UV-embossing processes, which used a pre-designed metal mold and UV-curable resin, respectively. Through experiments and optical evaluations, it was verified that the newly proposed CR lens not only decreased the vertical light strength and glare effect from an LED light source but also improved the diffusion characteristics while maintaining the quality of the LED's light intensity.

The purpose of this study is to verify the utility of reflected photoplethysmography sensor using two green light emitting diodes that influenced by ambient light. Recently it has been studied that green light emitting diode is suitable for light source of reflected photoplethysmography sensor at low temperature and high temperature. Another study showed that, green light is better for monitoring heart rate during motion than led light. However, it has a bad characteristic about ambient light noise. To verify the utility of reflected photoplethysmography sensor using green light emitting diode, this study measures the photoplethysmography signal that is distorted by ambient light and will propose a solution. This study has two parts of research method. One is measurement system that composed sensor and board. The sensor is made up PE-foam and Non-woven fabric for flexible sensor. The photoplethysmography signal is measured by measurement board that composed high-pass filter, low-pass filter and amplifier. Ambient light source is light bulb and white light emitting diode that has three steps brightness. Photoplethysmography signal is measured with lead II electrocardiography signal at the same time and it is measured at the finger and radial artery for 1 minute, 1000 Hz sampling rate. The lead II electrocardiography signal is a standard signal for heart rate and photoplethysmography signal that measured at the finger is a standard signal for waveform. The test is repeated 3 times using three sensor. The data is processed by MATLAB to verify the utility by comparing the correlation coefficient score and heart rate. The photoplethysmography sensor using two green light emitting diodes is shown better utility than using one green light emitting diode and red light emitting diode at the ambient light. The waveform and heart rate that measured by two green light emitting diodes are more identical than others. The amount of electricity used is less than red light emitting diode and error peak detectability factor is the lowest.

A blue light emitting diode with 8 periods InGaN/GaN multi-quantum well structure grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition was fabricated with the inclusion of the metal-interconnection process in order to integrate the chips for light lamp. The quantum well structure provides the blue light photoluminescence peaked at 479.2 nm at room temperature. As decreasing the temperature to 20 K, the main peak was shifted to 469.7 nm and a minor peak at 441.9 nm appeared indicating the quantum dot formation in quantum wells. The current-voltage measurement for the fabricated LED chips shows that the metal-interconnection provides good current path with ohmic resistance of 41 $\Omega$.

Visible Light Communication (VLC)은 Light Emitting Diode (LED)를 사용하여 조명의 역할과 통신의 기능을 동시에 구현할 수 있는 효과적인 방법이다. VLC는 통신 가능 영역인 Field Of View (FOV)를 가져 높은 보안성을 가지고, 가시광을 이용해 고속의 데이터 전송이 가능하다. VLC 시스템에서 RGB 채널에 데이터를 분할하여 전송하는 방법은, RGB 채널에 동일한 데이터를 전송하는 방법에 비해 빠른 데이터 전송 속도를 가지고 있으나, 가시광의 산란 및 반사로 인한 데이터의 burst 에러가 발생할 시 복원이 불가능하여 BER 성능의 열화가 발생한다는 단점이 존재한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 VLC에서 빠른 데이터 전송률을 가지면서 BER 성능 향상을 만족하는 2-step 인터리빙 기법을 제안한다. 제안 시스템의 Cyclic 인터리빙과 convolutional 인터리빙을 통해 RGB 채널의 성능 평준화 및 데이터 에러율의 감소로 전체 시스템의 BER 성능이 향상됨을 확인 할 수 있다.
