Recently, polymeric microlens arrays have become important elements in many applications. Microlens arrays have been used to enhance luminance efficiency and luminance power efficiency of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and organic LEDs. Many processes for fabrication of microlens array are studied. Though the MLA has been fabricated by electroformed mold, LIGA process and reflow method, these methods were required masks, multiple process steps and post processing. In this paper, we proposed rapid and direct UV laser direct fabrication process using colorless liquid photopolymer, NOA60 for polarization activated microlens. The microlens arrays are formed on the NOA60 on glass, after the focused laser energy was irradiated to the material. The diameter of MLA was varied from 42 to 88 ${\mu}m$, and the height from 0.9 to 1.6 ${\mu}m$. The MLA fabricated using NOA60 shows more then 85% transmittance as well as good hardness for optical module.

고분자 분산형 액정 렌즈는 40 wt%의 NOA65 prepolymer와 60 wt%의 E7 액정 균일 혼합물에 추가적으로 광개시제를 첨가하여 $11{\mu}m$와 $30{\mu}m$의 두께로 제작 되었다. 광개시제로 사용된 벤조페논은 상업적으로 판매되는 NOA65에 기본적으로 5.0 wt%의 함량으로 포함되어있다. 이 논문에서는 NOA65에 포함되어 있는 벤조페논의 농도가 스마트 전자 안경을 위한 고분자 분산형 액정 렌즈에 미치는 영향에 대해서 알아보았다. 광개시제는 NOA65와 E7 액정 혼합물 무게의 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 wt%씩 추가로 첨가되었다. 벤조페논이 첨가된 샘플이 가지는 구동 전압, 직선 구간의 기울기, 응답 시간, 명암비와 같은 전기-광학적 특성들은 벤조페논의 첨가 없이 NOA65 만을 사용해 만든 샘플에 비해 모두 개선되었다. 이러한 개선들은 벤조페논의 첨가로 인해 샘플 내부에 존재하는 액정 방울의 평균 직경 크기가 증가하는 것에 기인하였다. 액정 방울의 평균 직경 크기는 벤조페논을 0 wt%에서 8 wt%로 첨가함에 따라 $5.3{\mu}m$에서 $12.2{\mu}m$로 증가하였다. 광개시제의 농도 범위에 대해 구동 전압은 11.1 V에서 17.3 V의 범위를 보였고, 직선 구간에서의 기울기는 10.35 %T/V에서 13.96 %T/V의 범위를 보였다. 이 두 특성은 벤조페논의 첨가 없이 기본 NOA65로 만들어진 샘플에 비해 더욱 개선되었다. 벤조페논을 첨가하지 않고 샘플의 셀 간격을 $30{\mu}m$에서 $11{\mu}m$로 감소시킴에 따라 상승응답 시간은 0.47 ms에서 1.05 ms로, 하강 응답 시간은 18.64 ms에서 45.3 ms로 각각 증가하였고 명암비는 86.5에서 5.7로 크게 감소하였다. 두 특성 모두 셀 간격의 영향으로 저하되는 것을 확인하였으나 벤조페논의 첨가에 따라 상승 응답 시간은 0.77 ms, 하강 응답 시간은 41.04 ms로 각각 감소하였고 명암비는 16.7로 증가하여 다소 개선되는 것 또한 확인되었다.

We have fabricated the polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) cell where a control of phase separation is very important. The factors to influence the phase separation are mixing ratio of LC and polymer, curing temperature and UV intensity. In this paper, we inspected the change of a phase separation as a function of curing temperature for the mixture of E7 and. NOA65 with different ratios. When the LC concentration is less than polymer such as LC:NOA65 = 40:60wt％, the PDLC cell is influenced strongly by the curing temperature. However, when the LC concentration is much less than polymer such as LC:NOA65 = 80:20wt％, it is influenced slightly by the curing temperature. The reason is because the mixture shows upper critical solution temperature behavior and therefore it is important to know the behavior of phase separation as a function of curing temperature of the mixture.

Polymer dispersed liquid crystal mode can be classified into two cases, normally scattering mode (NS) and normally transparent (NT) mode according to an initial state. Electro-optic characteristic NS/NT PDLC mode can be improved by controlling the factors to influence the phase separation. In case of NS PDLC mode, we inspected change of a phase separation as a function of curing temperature for the mixture of E7 and NOA65 with different ratios. When the LC concentration is less than polymer such as LC : NOA65 = 40 : 60wt%, the PDLC cell is influenced strongly by the curing temperature. However, when LC concentration is much less than polymer such as LC : NOA65 : 80 : 20wt%, it is influenced slightly by the curing temperature. In case of NT PDLC mode, we observed change of a phase separation as a function of the ratio of the mixture and UV conditions such as curing temperature, UV intensity The cell made with strong UV intensity and curing temperature of $20^{\circ}C$, in case that the ratio of LC to polymer is 70:30wt%, showed good electro-optic characteristics.

A long-distance remote sensing of temperature and current based on a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is proposed and demonstrated. The thermal expanding effect of the epoxy and the Er-doped fiber ring laser (EFRL) are applied to the sensor system to enhance the temperature and current sensitivity. An EFRL with a 5 km-single-mode fiber and a FBG shows a high extinction ratio of more than 60 dB and a low power fluctuation of less than 1 dB. The metal wires are used to supply the current to the sensors. When the NOA65 puts on the FBG as a thermal expanding material, the temperature and current sensitivity of the lasing wavelength shift are about $30\;pm/^{\circ}C$ and 3pm/mA, respectively. The proposed sensing scheme is useful for measurement of current or temperature at a distant object of more than several km.
