We present a simulation method to design antireflection coating (ARCs) for fiber-coupled superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors. Using a finite-element method, the absorptance of the nanowire is calculated for a defined unit-cell structure consisting of a fiber, ARC layer, nanowire absorber, distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) mirror, and air gap. We develop a method to evaluate the uncertainty in absorptance due to the uncontrollable parameter of air-gap distance. The validity of the simulation method is tested by comparison to an experimental realization for a case of single-layer ARC, which results in good agreement. We show finally a double-layer ARC design optimized for a system detection efficiency of higher than 95%, with a reduced uncertainty due to the air-gap distance.

Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a well-established method commonly used to measure the diffusion of fluorescent solutes and biomolecules in living cells or tissues. Here a fiber-optic-based FRAP (f-FRAP) system was developed, and validated using macromolecules in water and agarose gels of different concentrations. We applied f-FRAP to measure the site-specific diffusion of fluorescein (NaFluo) in peritoneal membranes (PMs) on the liver, cecum, and kidney of a living rat during peritoneal dialysis. Diffusion of fluorescein in PM varied in a time-dependent manner according to the type of organ ($D_{PM\;on\;Liver}/D_{NaFluo}=0.199{\pm}0.085$, $D_{PM\;on\;Cecum}/D_{NaFluo}=0.292{\pm}0.151$, $D_{PM\;on\;Kidney}/D_{NaFluo}=0.218{\pm}0.110$). The proposed method allows direct quantitative measurement of the three-dimensional diffusion in local PM in vivo, which was previously inaccessible by peritoneal function test methods such as peritoneal equilibration test (PET) and standardized PM assessment (SPA). f-FRAP is promising for local and dynamic assessments of peritoneal pathophysiology and the mass transport properties of PMs, presumed to be affected by variation of tissue structures over different organs and functional changes of the PM with years of peritoneal dialysis.

염화코발트 용액을 사용하여 전자기파와 진동에 영향을 받지 않는 원거리 실시간 광섬유 온도 감지 센서를 개발하였다. 염화코발트 용액을 제조하기 위하여, 물과 에탄올은 부피 비율로 10%와 90%로 고정하고, 용해되는 염화코발트의 양을 다양하게 변화시켰다. 제조된 염화코발트 용액은 자외-가시선 분광 광도계를 사용하여, 온도 변화에 따른 655 nm 파장의 투과도를 측정하였다. 또한 제조된 30.8 mM 염화코발트 수화물 용액에 polyvinyl butyral을 용해시켜 겔화한 후, 온도 변화에 따른 655 nm 파장의 투과도 측정 및 센서 적용 후 광 파워 분석을 실시하였다. 투과도와 광 파워 측정 결과, $25^{\circ}C$에서 66.8%와 149.5 nW, $70^{\circ}C$에서는 7.1%와 48 nW로 각각 나타나, 온도가 증가함에 따라 투과도와 광 파워 모두 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 본 실험에서 제조된 겔화 염화코발트/polyvinyl butyral은 온도 변화에 따라 655 nm 파장에 대한 광 투과도와 광 파워가 변하는 점을 이용하여 온도 변화를 감지하기 위한 광섬유 센서로 사용 가능함을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we analyzed and measured the electrical crosstalk characteristics of a 1.25 Gbps triplexer module for Ethernet passive optical networks to realize fiber-tothe-home services. Electrical crosstalk characteristic of the 1.25 Gbps optical triplexer module on a resistive silicon substrate should be more serious than on a dielectric substrate. Consequently, using the finite element method, we analyze the electrical crosstalk phenomena and propose a silicon substrate structure with a dummy ground line that is the simplest low-crosstalk layout configuration in the 1.25 Gbps optical triplexer module. The triplexer module consists of a laser diode as a transmitter, a digital photodetector as a digital data receiver, and an analog photodetector as a cable television signal receiver. According to IEEE 802.3ah and ITU-T G.983.3, the digital receiver and analog receiver sensitivities have to meet -24 dBm at $BER=10^{-12}$ and -7.7 dBm at 44 dB SNR. The electrical crosstalk levels have to maintain less than -86 dB from DC to 3 GHz. From analysis and measurement results, the proposed silicon substrate structure that contains the dummy line with $100\;{\mu}m$ space from the signal lines and 4 mm separations among the devices satisfies the electrical crosstalk level compared to a simple structure. This proposed structure can be easily implemented with design convenience and greatly reduce the silicon substrate size by about 50 %.

$In_1-x$$GA_X$$As_y$$P_1-y$ has a very wide range of applications in optoelectronic devices especially for optical communications because $In_1-x$$GA_X$$As_y$$P_1-y$ has the bandgap of the lowest dispersion ($1.3\mum$) and the lowest loss ( $1.55\mum$) of the optical fiber by changing the composition. The quality of $In_1-x$$GA_X$$As_y$$P_1-y$ epitaxial layer is believed to have a significant effect on the performance of device. The OMVPE growth conditions for the latticematched $In_1x$$GA_X$$As_y$$P_1-y$/InP were investigated. Effects of growth conditions such as V/III ratio, growth temperature, and Ga source material on the electrical and optical properties were studied. The composition, electrical and optical properities of $In_1-x$$GA_X$$As_y$$P_1-y$ were characterized using double crystal X-ray diffractometer (DCD), photoluminescence (PL), XPS(ESCA) and Hall measurement.

For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic scrip, a prototype of reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate re(leclance parameters. The strop was illuminated at $45^{\circ}C$ through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectangulat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500,550,570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/dl about glucose, a saturation state of absorbance was observed at 500,550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm.

FBG Sensor, which is smaller than strain gauge and has better durability and does not have a noise from electromagnetic waves, was adapted to develope a smart anchor. A series of pullout tests were performed to verify the feasibility of smart anchor and find out the load transfer mechanism around the steel wire fixed to rock with grout. Distribution of shear stresses at steel wire-grout interface is assessed from the measured strain distribution by the optical fiber sensors and compared with stress distributions predicted by Farmer's and Aydan's formulas. It was found that present theoretical formulas may underestimate the failure depth and magnitude of shear stresses when the pullout loads increase.

금속으로 코팅한 광섬유는 폴리머로 코팅한 광섬유에 비해 여러 가지 장점을 가지고 있다. 금속 코팅 광섬유는 열적, 화학적 안정성이 높고 고온에서 사용할 수 있으며 수분 침투에 강하고 높은 굽힘 강도를 가진다. 또 납땜을 할 수가 있어서 광섬유 소자 패키징에 있어서 매우 유리하다$^{(1)}$ . 장주기 광섬유 격자는 WDM 용 필터, 온도 및 변형도 센서, 광섬유 증폭기의 이득 평탄화 필터에 많은 유용성을 가지고 있다. 광섬유 격자를 소자로 사용하기 위해서는 재 코팅이 필수적인데 금속은 좋은 대안이 될 것이다. 금속을 재 코팅 재료로 사용하기 위해서는 금속 코팅이 격자에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구가 요구된다. 광섬유 격자 쌍은 단일 장주기 격자에 비해 분해능이 좋아 센서 및 필터 등에 유용하여 본 연구에서는 광섬유 격자쌍 위에 은을 코팅하여 투과 스펙트럼에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다.

본 연구에서는 방사성동위원소 $^{241}Am$의 감마선 감쇠를 이용하여 유리섬유 및 탄소섬유 복합적층판의 섬유체적분율을 비파괴적으로 측정하였다. NaI(Tl) detector에 의해 섬유와 기지의 방사선 감쇠계수를 측정하고, 시험체의 두께를 $2{\sim}20mm$로 변화시키면서 섬유체적분율을 측정하였으며, 적층판과 에폭시판을 겹쳐서 섬유체적분율을 변화시키면서 섬유체적분율을 측정하였다. 연구 결과 단면을 현미경으로 관찰하여 구해진 값과 비교 할 때 오차 ${\pm}1{\sim}2.5%$ 범위 이내로 측정이 가능하였으며, 방사선원의 energy, activity의 선택에 따라서 대부분의 복합재료에 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
