In the last few years, lasers have found new applications in production engineering as tools for surface treatment, cutting, welding, drilling and marking. So far, the laser has mainly been used in special laser processing machines ('laser-only') directly integrated into a production line or serving as stand-alone stations in the workshop. By combining conventional metal cutting technologies with laser processes in one machine, complete processing of a workpiece with different technologies in one setting can be realized. The main advantages are a reduction of the material flow between the production machines, which leads to a reduction in processing time and logistics, and an enhancement of manufacturing quality due to the processing in one setting. In addition to this approach new processing technologies such as laser-assisted machining are possible.

Oil spills cause a lot of damage to the environment. Oil destroys the water environment and ecosystem in a very short period of time once they are contaminated by it, it takes a lot of time to recover from the contamination and the cleaning process is very difficult. Therefore, oil detectors are greatly needed as they can monitor any oil spills over the sea, rivers, and lakes. There are two kinds of technology available for detecting oil, viz. the contact and non-contact types. The former is based on the use of the conductivity, capacitance and microwaves, while the latter employs infrared, UV, laser, optic and radar technologies. As there are also various hurdles in the measuring of oil on water, such as the presence of waves, refraction of light, temperature and saltiness, it is imperative to select the right oil detector which is appropriate for the specific environment. In this study, a contact type oil detector is developed, which can be used in oil related industries, such as refineries, petrochemical companies, and power generation stations. The detector is made up of the sensor module, which floats on the water, and the controller which processes the signal coming from the sensor module and displays it. It is designed in such a way that the existence of oil is detected through the sensor and the change in the permittivity is observed to determine the volume and type of spilled oil.

We develop a purification process of $Hg_2Br_2$ raw powders using a physical vapor transport(PVT) process, which is essential for the fabrication of a high performance acousto-optic tunable filter(AOTF) module. Specifically, we characterize and compare three $Hg_2Br_2$ powders: $Hg_2Br_2$ raw powder, $Hg_2Br_2$ powder purified under pumping conditions, and $Hg_2Br_2$ powder purified under vacuum sealing. Before and after purification, we characterize the powder samples through X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The corresponding results indicate that physical properties of the $Hg_2Br_2$ compound are not damaged even after the purification process. The impurities and concentration in the purified $Hg_2Br_2$ powder are evaluated by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectroscopy. Notably, compared to the sample purified under pumping conditions, the purification process under vacuum sealing results in a higher purity $Hg_2Br_2$ (99.999 %). In addition, when the second vacuum sealing purification process is performed, the remaining impurities are almost removed, giving rise to $Hg_2Br_2$ with ultra-high purity. This high purification process might be possible due to independent control of impurities and $Hg_2Br_2$ materials under the optimized vacuum sealing. Preparation of such a highly purified $Hg_2Br_2$ materials will pave a promising way toward a high-quality $Hg_2Br_2$ single crystal and then high performance AOTF modules.

This is the study for developing the hetero-core optical fiber sensors which are purpose to measure the prestress of PSC bridges during the life cycle period. The goal of this study is to improve the resolution of hetero-core sensors. As a result of the test, it is possible to measure the displacement in $2{\mu}m$ increments. In other words, if the length of the sensor module is 30cm, it is possible to measure the prestress variations in 0.2MPa increments at specified compressive strength of concrete(fck) of 40MPa by Hook's Law. So it can be useful for development of a sensor module measuring internal prestress measurement.

As optical communication is being substituted for telecommunication, the demand of a large variety of fiber optic components is increasing. V-groove substrates, one of the module components, are used to connect optical fibers to optical planar circuits and to arrange fibers. Their applications are multi-channel optical connectors and optical waveguide fiber coupling, etc. Because these substrates are a critical part of the splitter in a multiplexer and a multi fiber connector, precise and reliable fabrication process is required. For precisely aligning core pitch between fibers, machined core pitch tolerance should be within sub-microns. Therefore, these are generally produced by state-of-the-art micro-fabrication like MEMS. However, most of the process equipment is very expensive. It is also difficult to change the process line for custom designs to meet specific requirements using various materials. For various design specifications such as different values of the V angle and low-priced process, the fabrication method should be flexible and low cost. To achieve this goal, we have suggested a miniaturized machine tool with high accuracy positioning system. Through this study, it is shown that this cutting process can be applied to produce V-groove subtracts. We also show the possibility of using a miniaturized machining system for producing small parts.

The MSC is a remote sensing instrument with very high performance that is to be installed on KOMPSAT2 satellite. The MSC consists of EOS (Electro-Optic Subsystem), PMU (Payload Management Unit) and PDTS (Payload Data Transmission Subsystem). PMU controls and monitors all the other payload units by sending commands and collecting telemetry. PMU is in charge of interfacing between payload system and satellite bus system. PMU gets commands from ground-station via OBC (On-Board Computer) that is a main controller of the satellite bus system and sends telemetry to the ground-station via OBC. There is a processor module, called SBC (Single Board Computer) in the PMU. The SBC is a main controller of the MSC system. The main roles of the SBC are payload mission management, command validation and execution, telemetry collection and monitoring, ancillary data handling, event reporting, power control of payload sub-units and communication with these units. Intel's 80486DX2 processor has been used for the SBC. Due to the fact that the SBC plays important roles for imaging mission execution and handles a lot of control data that is required for payload operation, it is required to make analysis of the CPU load when it is in maximum operation mode. In this paper, the analysis and measurement results of the SBC throughput in the maximum operation mode.

In this paper, we have studied a method of forming a line beam using a UV LED. The existing linear-type UV LED curing optical system is composed of several cylindrical lenses, but problems such as optical system alignment, enlargement of the module, efficiency, etc. may arise in the future. As an alternative to these problems, a bar-type TIR lens having a freeform surface only in the y-axis direction is designed, to verify that it shows advantages in maximum illuminance, uniformity of illuminance, and flux efficiency.

Interference and jamming are becoming increasing concern to a radar system nowdays. AESA(Active Electronically Steered Array) antennas and adaptive beamforming(ABF), in which antenna beam patterns can be modified to reject the interference, offer a potential solution to overcome the problems encountered. In this paper, we've developed a planar active phased array radar system, in which ABF, target detection and tracking algorithm operate in real-time. For the high output power and the low noise figure of the antenna, we've designed the S-band TRMs based on GaN HEMT. For real-time processing, we've used wavelenth division multiplexing technique on fiber optic communication which enables rapid data communication between the antenna and the signal processor. Also, we've implemented the HW and SW architecture of Real-time Signal Processor(RSP) for adaptive beamforming that uses SMI(Sample Matrix Inversion) technique based on MVDR(Minimum Variance Distortionless Response). The performance of this radar system has been verified by near-field and far-field tests.
