  • By defining a power distribution ratio (PDR) and coupling efficiency (CE) amenable to the rigorous analytical solutions of newly developed rigorous modal transmission-line theory (MTLT), we explicitly analyze the power coupling characteristics of TE modes propagating in GADCs. The numerical results reveal that the incident power is optimally coupled into the desired guiding channel if the powers of rigorous modes excited at the input boundary of grating-assisted coupler are equally partitioned.

  • This paper proposes a novel beehive-shaped reflector for application to light-emitting diode (LED) transceivers for illumination and bi-directional visible light communication (VLC). By using a diffuse propagation model extended to line-of-sight and direct signals, the distribution of illuminance and the path loss of the transceiver are investigated to evaluate the performance of the beehive-shaped reflector. To verify bi-directional communication, a VLC-based image capture system, comprising a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor and video processor unit, is demonstrated. Real-time images captured by the CMOS camera are successfully transmitted to the monitoring system via a free-space channel at a rate of 115.2 kbps.

  • In this paper, we propose the electrode of the Patterned Vertical Aligned (PVA) cell [1] for high transmittance. We use the 'TechWiz LCD' for calculation of the director configuration and optical characteristics to ensure the results of the proposed electrode structure. In general, the transmittance of the PVA cell depends on the shape of the electrode and cell gap. In this work the width of gate line and data line of the improved electrode design is set to be equal to that of the PVA conventional. Instead, we modified the shape of the top and bottom electrode on order to decrease the area of the defect. For verification, we compared the calculated optical transmittance of the PVA cell with the proposed electrode structure to the conventional PVA cell . As a result, we can confirm that the optical loss due to the variation of the retardation the LC cell around electrode can be definitely decreased by the proposed electrode.

  • MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol is necessary for a OLT (Optical Line Termination) to allocate bandwidth to ONUs (Optical Network Units) dynamically in ATM PON (Passive Optical Network) operated in a kind of optical subscriber network having tree topology. The OLT collect information about ONUs and provide all permission with each ONU effectively by means of MAC protocol. Major functions of MAC protocol are composed of the algorism for distributing permission demanded by a ONU dynamically and allocation all permission used in APON properly. Sometimes MAC get to be a element of limiting the whole operation speed and occupy a most frequent operation part of the TC (Transmission Convergence) function module so it have to be designed to guarantee the best quality for each traffic. This paper introduce the way of implementation of a algorism which satisfy all of the upper renditions. This MAC algorism allocate bandwidth according to a number of working ONU and the information of the queue length dynamically and distribute permission for same interval to minimize delay variation of each ONU cell. MAC scheduler for the dynamic bandwidth allocation which is introduced in this paper has look-up table structure that makes programming possible. This structure is very suitable for implementation and operated in high speed because it require very simple and small chip size.

  • This paper presents the system that decreases the Jitter value having an important effect for signal quality in optical disc memory. Level controller of input signal was made and applied to line between format generator and laser beam recorder of DVD. This try means to decrease jitter value without adjustment for many kinds of mastering process. Experimental results show that the jitter value is about 6.9%.

  • In the conventional recirculation fish farms, there is a lot of difficulties due to lack of professional manpower and high reliance on imported measurement equipment. In this paper, we implement an automatic water quality measurement system which can measure the pollution degree in a water tank of fish farms using an optical sensor(pH, DO) with the IoT technology. The problem with existing systems is that the fish tank should be checked by means of human, or put the measuring equipment into the water tank of fish farms and measurement directly. But, it has a bad influence on the growth of fish. In this paper, we propose a method of indirect measurement without immersing the measurement equipment in a water tank of fish farm and develop a sustainable measurement system in an environment containing salt and lots of pollutants without affecting the growth of fish within the water tank of fish farms.

  • In this paper, we propose an algorithm for optimal selection of communications for smart lighting in heterogeneous networks. The smart lighting can be used for information communications and lighting simultaneously. To improve BER performance of smart lighting in heterogeneous networks, it adaptively selects a communication method among OCC, Wi-Fi, BLE based on distance between sensors and smart lightings, low power consumption for user requirements, operating time of smart lighting in Line-of-Sight(LOS)/Non-LOS channels. Thus, simulation results demonstrate effectiveness of the proposed algorithm contrary to baseline methods in LOS/NLOS channels.

  • With the development of computer music notation programs, when drawing sheet music, it is often drawn using a computer. However, there are still many use of hand-written notations for educational purposes or to quickly draw sheet music such as listening and dictating. In previous studies, OMR focused on recognizing the printed music sheet made by music notation program. the result of handwritten OMR with camera is poor because different people have different writing methods, and lens distortion. In this study, as a pre-processing process for recognizing handwritten music sheet, we propose a method for recognizing a staff using linear regression and a method for recognizing a bar using CNN. F1 scores of staff recognition and barline detection are 99.09% and 95.48%, respectively. This methodologies are expected to contribute to improving the accuracy of handwriting.

  • This paper presents the Projection Moire method using a line scan camera. The high resolution feature of a line scan camera makes it possible to scan an image quickly, thus enabling a much quicker 3D profile. This method uses a high resolution line scan camera making it possible to scan an image at high speed simultaneously measuring the 3D profile of a large FOV. When using a high resolution scan camera, a full FOV is scanned, thus requiring just one movement of a projection grating. As a result, the number of grating movements is reduced drastically. The end result is a faster and more accurate 3D measurement. Moving the grating too quickly causes vibration in the imaging system, which will normally be required to apply a stitching technique when using an area scan camera. However the technique is not required when using a line scan camera. Compared with the previous techniques, it has the advantages of simple hardware without moving mechanical parts - single exposure for obtaining three-dimensional information. A method using a high resolution line scan camera can be used in mass production to measure the bump height of wafers or the bump height of package substrates.

  • In this paper, waveguide analysis was interpreted as an optical waveguide using the feedback perturbation method simple and easy to apply compared to the analysis method, while the other almost identical to the numerical calculation method. In addition, efficient coupling with an optical transmission line of optical fiber and the waveguide form the thin film of different functional elements is required in order to achieve the full optical communication system. However, problems arise, such as the light field (field) and the decrease of the access efficiency due to inconsistency in the distribution characteristics of the connection surface by the difference in size of the cross section thereof when connecting the optical fiber and the waveguide directly to the combination of a thin film. Therefore propose a new type of connector structure to increase the efficiency of the connection when connecting the optical fiber waveguide and the thin film was analyzed by applying a coupled mode theory, the binding efficiency of the modified contactor. And by diffusing Ti on the $LiNbO_3$ substrate and a wide range of applications in the manufacture of integrated optical material made of a current low-loss Ti: $LiNbO_3$ optical waveguide and making the Y-branch waveguide, and the properties were confirmed.
