Recently, white LEDs, especially, warm white LEDs have been intensively investigated due to outstanding optical properties, long term stability and low power consumption. In this study, mixed type and patterned type of remote phosphors were prepared by screen printing process employing green and red phosphor. Each type of remote phosphor exhibited distinctive photoluminescence spectrum. For example, the mixed type of remote phosphor exhibited unique spectrum, while the patterned type showed expectable spectrum depending on the concentration of phosphors. This indicates that a small amount of red phosphor dramatically reduced the green photoluminescence in the case of mixed-type remote phosphor, whereas the effect was negligible in the patterned-type remote phosphor. The possibility of undesirable chemical reaction was further investigated by using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction.

An optimal wideband gain flattened hybrid erbium-doped fiber amplifier/fiber Raman amplifier (EDFA/FRA) has been introduced. A new and effective optimization method called particle swarm optimization (PSO) is employed to find the optimized parameters of the EDFA/FRA. Numerous parameters which are the parameters of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) and the fiber Raman amplifier (FRA) define the gain spectrum of a hybrid EDFA/FRA. Here, we optimize the length, $Er^{3+}$ concentration, and pump power and wavelength of the EDFA and also pump powers and wavelengths of the FRA to obtain the flattest operating gain spectrum. Hybrid EDFA/FRA with 6-pumped- and 10-pumped-FRAs have been studied. Gain spectrum variations are 1.392 and 1.043 dB for the 6-pumped- and 10-pumped-FRAs, respectively, in the 108.5 km hybrid EDFA/FRAs, with 1 mW of input signal powers. Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) system with 60 signal channels in the wavelength range of 1529.2-1627.1 nm, i.e. the wide bandwidth of 98 nm, is studied. In this work, we have added FRA's pump wavelengths to the optimization parameters to obtain better results in comparison with the results presented in our previous works.

The mechanism of optical interaction of two nanoholes, milled in an opaque gold film, by means of surface plasmon polariton (SPP) propagation is investigated. The interaction depends on the polarization direction of the incident light when the nanohole pair is illuminated through uniform single antenna excitations. It is shown that by illuminating one of the nanoholes, under single antenna excitation, the other nanohole can be excited indirectly via propagated SPPs from the excited nanohole. In addition, it is found that the spectrum of electromagnetic power above the surface of the metallic film at an arbitrary point along the axis of the nanohole pair presents two resonant peaks. These peaks are due to the optical interaction between nanoholes, where the short- and long-wavelength peaks can be assigned to in-phase and antiphase interactions of magnetic dipoles relative to each nanohole, respectively. The magnetic coupled dipole approximation (MCDA) method confirms the simulation results.

In this study, closely spaced Au nanoparticles which are arranged in nanocluster (heptamer) configurations have been employed to design efficient plasmonic subwavelength devices to function at the telecommunication spectrum (${\lambda}$~1550 nm). Utilizing two kinds of nanoparticles, the optical properties of heptamer clusters composed of Au rod and shell particles that are oriented in triphenylene molecular fashion have been investigated numerically, and the cross-sectional profiles of the scattering and absorption of the optical power have been calculated based on a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. Plasmon hybridization theory has been utilized as a theoretical approach to characterize the features and properties of the adjacent and mutual heptamer clusters. Using these given nanostructures, we designed a complex four-branch ($1{\times}4$) Y-shape splitter that is able to work at the near infrared region (NIR). This splitter divides and transmits the magnetic plasmon mode along the mutual heptamers arrays. Besides, as an important and crucial parameter, we studied the impact of arm spacing (offset distance) on the guiding and dividing of the magnetic plasmon resonance propagation and by calculating the ratio of transported power in both nanorod and nanoshell-based structures. Finally, we have presented the optimal structure, that is the four-branch Y-splitter based on shell heptamers which yields the power ratio of 23.9% at each branch, 4.4 ${\mu}m$ decaying length, and 1450 nm offset distance. These results pave the way toward the use of nanoparticles clusters in molecular fashions in designing various efficient devices that are able to be efficient at NIR.

광시스템에서 신호와 부가적인 잡음의 통계적인 특성에 대해 다양한 방법으로 평가하는 것은 시스템의 성능 최적화를 위해 필수적인데, 본 논문에서는 스펙트럼분할된 광시스템의 성능해석에서 수신부에 광전치증폭기를 포함시켜 수신된 신호 비트에 대한 에러한계 즉, 비트에러률을 유지하기 위해 필요한 평균광전력을 비트당 포함되는 광자의 수로 나타낸다. 본 논문에서는 신호가 디지털 형태를 띄는 경우 수신기의 감도를 계산하는 방안에 대하여 계산을 수행하였다. 이를 통해 일반 강도변조된 신호의 전송시와 디지털 신호의 전송시에 필요한 광전력의 비교를 보였다. 그림 3에서 보인 것처럼 디지털 신호 전송 시스템이 일반 강도변조된 신호의 전송 시에 비해 최소 10dB 정도 개선이 됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study event-related optical signals were extracted from the prefrontal cortexes using functional near infrared spectroscopy while subjects were carrying out 2-back working memory tasks. Four events such as start, yes, no, and error were considered based on the onsets of the stimulus, positive true responses, positive false responses, and negative responses in the 2-back working memory task, respectively. The optical signals recorded were analyzed by peri-event histograms and power spectrum distributions. The results showed specific characteristics of the event-related optical neuronal signals and an opened possibility of an application to control a non-invasive brain-computer interface system or an object of a virtual reality.

Third order correlation funciton is to be advantageous to detect unique features embedded in various random signals that are undetectable with second order correlation or power spectrum. In this paper, we will introduce optical modulator which consists of a laser light source, 2-dimensional ultrasonic diffractor cell with signal controlling circuitry, and a CCD camera connected to personal computer for image processing. With this modulator, the third order correlaiton pattern of signal can be immediately obtained at the camera due to parallel nature of optical computing.

In this paper, a binary phase extraction joiont transform correlator (BPEJTC)system is proposed as a new phase-type optical correlator in which the correlation errors and DC component are dramtically reduced and optical efficiency and correlation performance are also improved by reconstructing the joint transform power spectrum (JTPS) of the conventional joint transform correlator (JTC)system form which the autocorrelation and crosscorrelation siganls generated in each self-plane are removed, and the binary phase function is extracted from the phase value of the reconstructed JTPS. Through some computer simulation and optical experimental results, the possibility of the implementation of the real-time multi-target tracking and recognition system is also suggested.

High-tech facilities engaged in the production of semiconductors and optical microscopes are extremely expensive, which may require time-domain analysis for seismic resistant design in consideration of the most critical directions of seismic ground motions. This paper presents a framework for generating three-dimensional critical seismic ground acceleration time histories compatible with the response spectra specified in seismic design codes. The most critical directions of seismic ground motions associated with the maximum response of a high-tech facility are first identified. A new numerical method is then proposed to derive the power spectrum density functions of ground accelerations which are compatible with the response spectra specified in seismic design codes in critical directions. The ground acceleration time histories for the high-tech facility along the structural axes are generated by applying the spectral representation method to the power spectrum density function matrix and then multiplied by envelope functions to consider nonstationarity of ground motions. The proposed framework is finally applied to a typical three-story high-tech facility, and the numerical results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach.
