The third-order nonlinear optical susceptibilities of $\beta$-carotene, retinal and retinol have been measured using self-induced ellipse rotation and dc-Kerr effects. The strengths of $\chi$1221(-$\omega$, $\omega$, -$\omega$, $\omega$) and $\chi$1221(-$\omega$, $\omega$, 0, 0) measured by the two different methods are not different each other significantly. And it is observed that the strength of the third order nonlinear optical susceptibility is relatively insensitive to the conformational difference between retinal and retinol. It is also demonstrated that the third order nonlinear optical susceptibility of long-chained organic molecules is dependent upon the number of the double-bonds.

Purpose : The aim of this study is to investigate the antibiotic effects of 14 herbs among blood-activating stasis-dispelling medicinals on vaginal microorganisms. Methods : Staphylococcus aureus, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, and Gardnerella vaginalis were used for vaginal pathogenic microorganisms. Lactobacillus gasseri, Streptococcus spp. and Escherichia coli HB101 were used for vaginal normal flora. The blood-activating stasis-dispelling medicinals, Mucunae Caulis, Salviae Radix, Persicae Semen, Myrrha, Zedoariae Rhizoma, Achuranthis Radix, Leonuri Herba, Melandrii Herba, Gleditsiae Spina, Lycopi Herba, Scirpi Rhizoma, Caesalpiniae Lignum, Corydlais Tuber and Polygoni Cuspidati Radix were used in this study. In vitro antibiotic activities were observed by optical density and colony test. Results : The optical density and colony test showed that Gleditsiae Spina, Scirpi Rhizoma, Corydlais Tuber, Polygoni Cuspidati Radix and Melandrii Herba of herbs among blood-activating stasis-dispelling medicinals had antimicrobial effect. Gleditsiae Spina had antimicrobial susceptibility and selective toxicity in Gardnerella vaginalis and MRSA. Scirpi Rhizoma had antimicrobial susceptibility and selective toxicity in Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA. Corydlais Tuber had antimicrobial susceptibility and selective toxicity in MRSA. Polygoni Cuspidati Radix had antimicrobial susceptibility and selective toxicity in Gardnerella vaginalis, Staphylococcus aureus and MRSA. Melandrii Herba had antimicrobial susceptibility and selective toxicity in Gardnerella vaginalis. Conclusion : According to the above results, we could suggest that Gleditsiae Spina, Scirpi Rhizoma, Corydlais Tuber, Polygoni Cuspidati Radix and Melandrii Herba of herbs among blood-activating stasis-dispelling medicinals be available to antimicrobial agent of vaginal pathogenic microbial species in vitro.

The linear electro-optic (EO) effect is one of the second-order nonlinear optical effects existing in a noncentrosymmetric macroscopic system. In a polymer thin film, the noncentrosymmetry is achieved by electric field poling. The magnitude of the linear EO response is determined through the orientational distribution function of hyperpolarizable molecular dipoles. The relation between the linear EO coefficient and the second-order nonlinear optical susceptibility is explained. Three different methods of measuring the linear EO coefficient of a poled nonliner optical polymer thin film are introduced and discussed. All of them make use of the interferometric technique, the difference being in the optical parameters which are interfering.

The aim of this study was to detect landslide using satellite image and apply the landslide to probabilistic landslide-susceptibility mapping at Gangneung area, Korea using a Geographic Information System (GIS). Landslide locations were identified by change detection technique of KOMSAT-1 (Korea Multipurpose Satellite) EOC (Electro Optical Camera) images and checked in field. For landslide-susceptibility mapping, maps of the topography, geology, soil, forest, lineaments, and land cover were constructed from the spatial data sets. Then, the sixteen factors that influence landslide occurrence were extracted from the database. Using the factors and detected landslide, the relationships were calculated using frequency ratio, one of the probabilistic model. Then, landslide-susceptibility map was drawn using the frequency ration and finally, the map was verified by comparing with existing landslide locations. As the verification result, the prediction accuracy showed 86.76%. The landslide-susceptibility map can be used to reduce hazards associated with landslides and to land cover planning.

The critical behavior was studied in the mixture of lysozyme and salt water near the phase separation temperature. The 3rd order nonlinear optical susceptibility was measured through the self-induced ellipse rotation. And we obsered that as the quantity of salt and glycerol increase, the phase separation temperature increases and decreases, respectively.

We have investigated a method to measure the refractive index, coherence length, and the third order nonlinear optical susceptibility ($x^{(3)}$) of the conducting polymer film. ($x^{(3)}$) of polymer film was obtained, by comparing Maker fringe of polymer film with that of fused quartz, and by calculating the correction factor due to the linear refractive index. The linear refractive index of polymer film was determined from the envelopes of the maxima and minima in the transmission spectrum. Poly ((1,4-phenylenevinylene$)_{0.34}$-co-(2-methoxy-1,4-phen ylene vinylene$)_{0.66}$) [PP$V_{0.34}$-PMP$V_{0.66}$] thin film was prepared by spin coating method. From transmission spectrum and Maker fringe data, we found that the refractive index, coherence length, and the third order nonlinear optical susceptibility ($x^{(3)}$) of the [PP$V_{0.34}$-PMP$V_{0.66}$] are 1.786, 17.86 ${\mu}m$ and 5.8${\times}10^{-12}$esu, respectively.

Quasi-phase-match (QPM) can be realized by means of one-dimensional spatial modulation of second-order nonlinear susceptibility and has advantages over the conventional bulk phase-matching method because QPM can not only utilize the largest component of second-order nonlinear susceptibility tensor, but also can circumvent walk-off effect.
