In recent years, there has been a remarkable progress in the development of the fiber optic sensors for the detection of various chemicals. Fiber optic sensors have the advantages of very small size, flexibility and low cost. The fiber optic sensors employing different optical or spectroscopic phenomena have been reported such as bulk absorption, optical reflectance, fluoresces and energy transfer. In this study, the effect of nanoparticle concentration in liquid upon light absorption and scattering was studied using extrinsic fiber optic method. For the evaluation, we used Red (650 nm) and Blue (430 nm) light sources which are coupled through the standard cuvette using optical fiber to detector. The experiments are carried out with Polystyrene latex (400 - 800 nm), and Silicon (35 - 110 nm) nanoparticles suspended in Isopropanol. Differences in light absorption and scattering depending on nanoparticle concentration and type are discussed. This method may be useful to study nanoparticles properties for various application and research.

An enzyme-free optical method is proposed for estimating high concentrations of glucose in a glucose-lactose mixture, based on a predictive equation that takes advantage of the reflective optical power observed at two discrete wavelengths. Compared to the conventional absorption spectroscopy method based on Beer's Law, which is mainly valid for concentrations below hundreds of mg/dL, the proposed scheme, which relies on reflection signals, can be applied to measure higher glucose concentrations, of even several g/dL in a glucose-lactose mixture. Two probe wavelengths of 1160 and 1300 nm were selected to provide a linear relationship between the reflective power and pure glucose/lactose concentration, where the relevant linear coefficients were derived to complete the predictive equation. Glucose concentrations from 2 to 7 g/dL in a glucose-lactose mixture were efficiently estimated, using the established predictive equation based on monitored reflective powers. The standard error of prediction was 1.17 g/dL.

곰팡이 세포농도를 측정하기 위하여 pellet에 대한 침강 특성을 고려하여 홉광도를 측정하는 새로운 방법을 개발하였다$.$ Pellet의 침강을 막기 위해 spec trophotometer의 cuvette 내에셔 소형 마그네닥바 로 시료를 적절히 교반시켰는데 그 결과 안정된 값의 흡광도를 얻을 수 있었으며 세포의 건조중량과 흡광도간에 선형적인 관계가 었는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 크기별로 pellet입자를 분리한 결과 입자 크 기별로 통일한 흡광도에서 셔로 다른 건조중량을 갖는 것으로 나타났으며 입자의 직경이 $355{\mu}m$ 이상인 경우 교반에 의한 홉광도를 측정할 수 없었다. 이상의 결과로부터 pellet을 형성하는 곰팡이 배양액의 경우 pellet의 침강 특성을 고려해 줌으로써 흡광도 를 이용한 곰팡이 세포농도의 측정이 가능하다는 결론을 얻었다.

Effect of soaking temperature on erbium doping of the optical fiber core during solution doping procedure, especially in the modified chemical vapor deposition (MCVD) process, was investigated. The concentration of dopants such as $Er^{3+} and Al^{3+}$ in the preforms and the optical fibers measured by the electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and the optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) was found to increase with decreasing the soaking temperature. The increase in the concentration of the $Er^{3+}$ is attributed to the precipitation of the erbium due to the decrease in the solubility as well as the increase of capillary force and viscosity of the doping solution by decreasing the temperature.

Effects of alkali swelling of HwBKP (hardwood bleached kraft pulp) at a low concentration below 2 percent (based on the oven-dried weight of pulp) on handsheet properties were investigated. Swelling treatment of HwBKP was performed at various low NaOH concentrations with/without beating. Then, the changes in handsheet properties were evaluated in terms of bulk, optical and strength properties. It was found that bulk was slightly increased when the alkali concentration was increased. When the pulp was only swollen without beating, paper optical and strength properties was slightly decreased or not changed with alkali concentration. When the pulp was alkali-swollen after beating, paper strength and opacity showed almost no changes while brightness was increased. When the pulp was beaten after NaOH swelling, alkali concentration showed almost no effect on brightness and opacity of paper. Paper strength was slightly decreased with alkali concentration, suggesting that alkali pretreatment before refining could adversely affect refining efficiency.

We have studied the effects of La concentration on the optical and electrical properties of lead lanthanum titanate (PLT) thin films by using sol-gel method. Both the optical and electrical properties are greatly affected by the La concentration. The refreactiv eindices of the films varied from 2.23 to 1.93 with varying La concentration in the range from 15 to 33 mol%. The dielectric constants of the films vary form 340 to 870 with varying La concentration in the range form 15 to 33 mol%. Hysteresis loop becomes slimmer with the increase of La concentration form 15 to 28mol% and little fatter again with the increase of La concentration form 28 to 33 mol%. Among the films investigated in this research, PLT(28) thin film shows the best dielectric properties for the application to the dielectrics of ULSI DRAM's. At the frequency of 100Hz, the dielectric constant and the loss tangent of PLT(28) thin films are 940 and 0.08 respectively. Its leakage current density at 1.5${\times}10^{5}$V/cm is 1${\times}10^{-6}A/cm^{2}$. The comparision between the simulated and the experimental curves for the switching transient characteristics shows that PLT (28) thin films behaves like normal dielectrics.

The characteristics for the aerosol number distribution was studied during spring, 2004 in Incheon. Optical Particle Counter (OPC, HIAC/ROYCO 5230) was used in order to measure the number concentration of aerosol in the range of $0.3\~25{\mu}m.$. The obtained results were compared with $PM_{2.5}\;and\;PM_{10}$ data during Asian dust events. The results show that the size resolved aerosol number concentration from OPC measurement has a similar tendency with $PM_{10}\;and\;PM_{2.5}$ mass concentration. During Asian dust periods, the number concentrations in large particle $(CH5\~CH8)$ increase more than small particles which diameter is less than $2.23{\mu}m(CH5)$ and the same results were shown when $PM_{10}$ was compared with $PM_{2.5}$ data compared with non-dust days, Consequently, this study shows that size resolved aerosol number concentration from OPC measurement can be used as a useful tool in comparison of mass concentration data.

Functional photoacoustic tomography is a new non-invasive imaging modality, and it is emerging as a very practical method for imaging biological tissue structures by means of laser-induced ultrasound. Structures with high optical absorption, such as blood vessels, can be imaged with the spatial resolution of ultrasound, which is not limited by the strong light scattering in biological tissues. By varying wavelengths of the laser light and acquiring photoacoustic images, optical absorption spectrum of each image pixel is found. Since the biochemical constituents of tissues determine the spectrum, useful functional information like oxygen saturation ($SO_2$) and total haemoglobin concentration (HbT) can be extracted. In this study, as a proof-of-principle experiment, hypoxic brain tumor vasculature and traumatic brain injury (TBI) of small animal brain are imaged with functional photoacoustic tomography. High resolution brain vasculature images of oxygen saturation and total hemoglobin concentration are provided to visualize hypoxic tumor vasculature, and hemorrhage on the cortex surface by the TBI.

The continuous increase of emission rates of green house gases and the effects on global warming added a new dimension to the problem of substituting the petroleum and its derivatives by environment friendly and sustainable energy sources for the world. Solar and wind energy appear at the top of the list of renewable of high potential, widely available, of dominated technology and well accepted. Brazil is one of the few countries in the world that receives number hours of sunshine exceeding 3,000 hours per year with a daily average of 4.5 to 6 kWh. However, this potential is largely unexplored and poorly tapped. The number of renewable systems implanted in Brazil has grown in recent years, but still insignificant when compared, for example, with Germany and Spain among others. This paper presents the results of an optical study on small concentration solar collector with evacuated tube enveloping the absorber and internal reflective surface fixed on the bottom part of the evacuated tube. The designed collector has a 2D geometrical concentration ratio between 2.455 and 4.91. The orientation of the solar collector, the ratio of the radius of the receiver to the radius of the absorber, the incidence angle for each period of the year, the collector inclination angle, the aperture angle of the reflective surface, concentration and optical efficiency were determined. The ray traces and flux distribution on the absorber of the evacuated tube solar collector were determined by using the program Ray Optics Simulation. The optical efficiency varies during the year according to the solar declination. For the periods were the solar declination is close to zero the efficiencies are maximum, and the variation during the day is around 25.88% and 99.9%. For the periods were the solar declination is maximum the efficiencies are minimum, and the variation during the day is around 23.78% and 91.79%.

대용량 WDM 전송 시스템의 구현을 위해 중간에 광 위상 공액기 (optical phase conjugator)를 갖는 광섬유에서 축적된 분산량을 precompensation과 postcompensation으로 조절하는 분산 제어 (DM; dispersion management) 전송 링크의 설계 기준을 제시하였다. 본 논문에서 살펴본 DM 구조는 precompensation과 postcompensation가 이루어지는 위치에 따라 bi-end 형태와 concentration 형태의 두 가지이다. 전송 링크 설계 파라미터인 송신기부터 OPC까지의 구간과 OPC부터 수신기까지의 유효 잉여 분산 범위는 OPC에 대해서만 대칭되어 있으면 precompensation과 postcompensation을 수행하는 분산 보상 광섬유(DCF; dispersion compensating fiber)의 위치에 크게 의존하지 않는다는 것을 확인하였다.
