A four-channel selective microwave filter was demonstrated incorporating an optical resonator router, which is constructed by integrating a $1{\times}4$ space switch with an arrayed ring filters featuring different free spectral ranges. The center frequency of each channel was determined by the FSR of the corresponding ring resonator, and the four channels centered at 10 GHz, 16 GHz, 18 GHz and 20 GHz were individually selected to provide a bandpass filtering via the control voltage applied to the switched resonator.

In the present work, we have designed to optimize the optical filter structures of the 1-dimensional photonic quasicrystals (1D PQCs) characteristic for the COVID-19 UV sterilization. The simulator using MATLAB program and ourselves manufacturing calculation codes. After making the aperiodic (and complexed) multi-layer structure model, we establish the transfer matrix method (TMM) for model by the operator conversion. By the using the MATLAB, we derive a matrix for the designed complexed multi-layer structure by applying the equations to the model by obtaining the reflectance and transmittance from the matrix. We also prove the possibility of application in optical filter for UV sterilization.

Photonic crystals containing rugate structure result in a mirror with high reflectivity in a specific narrow spectral region and are prepared by applying a computer-generated pseudo-sinusoidal current waveform. Well defined 1-dimentional photonic polymer replicas showing a reflectivity at 534 nm have been successfully obtained by the removal of rugate porous silicon (PSi) template from the polystyrene composite film. XRD measurement indicates that the oxidized rugate PSi has been completely removed from the composite films. Polymer replicas exhibit a sharp resonance in the reflectivity spectrum. Optical characteristics of photonic polymer replicas indicate that the surface of polymer film has a negative structure of rugate PSi. These replicas are stable in aqueous solutions for several days without any degradation. The methods have been provided for the construction of photonic structures with polymers.

A novel photonic bandgap(PBG) structure is proposed and measured for wide bandgap and compact circuit applications. The proposed structure realizes the ultra-wideband bandgap(2-octave) characteristics by superposing two different PBG structures into a coupled double-plane configuration. A low pass filter fabricated using 3-period of the PBG cells shows 2-octave 10 ㏈ stopband from 4.3 to 16.2 ㎓ and 0.2 ㏈ insertion loss in the passband. Moreover, we confirmed that 44∼70 % size reduction can be achieved using the proposed PBG structures. We expect this novel double-plane PBG structure is widely used for compact and wideband circuit applications, such as compact high-efficiency power amplifiers using harmonic tuning techniques.

We propose a transverse load sensor with reconfigurable measurement accuracy based on a microwave photonic filter in the $K_u$ band, incorporating a polarization-maintaining fiber Bragg grating. A prototype sensor with a reconfigurable measurement accuracy tuning range from 6.09 to 9.56 GHz/(N/mm), and corresponding minimal detectable load range from 0.0167 to 0.0263 N/mm, is experimentally demonstrated. The results illustrate that up to 40% manufacturing error in the grating length can be dynamically calibrated to the same corresponding measurement accuracy for the proposed transverse load sensor, by controlling the semiconductor optical amplifier's injection current in the range of 154 to 419 mA.

In this paper, we proposed novel photonic bandgap(PBG) structure using EGP(Elevated Ground Plane) and via in ceramic substrate of microstrip line. From analysis result, the proposed PBG structure is reduced 52.5% at size and increased 45 % at bandwidth compared to typical planar PBG structure. It is also reduced 32 % at size and improved more than 8 dB at power loss compared to typical multilayer DGS(Defected Ground Structure). The proposed PBG structure also can be used bandstop and lowpass filter and it will be useful for small microwave integrated circuit and module development.

The electrooptic properties of the reflected light in a reflective mode, $45^{\circ}C$twisted nematic liquid crystal (TNLC) cell were investigated in the voltage regions near and away from the Freedericksz transition threshold. The measured reflectivity away from the threshold voltage ($V_th$) could not be described by the model which assurnes a constant tilt angle as well as a linearized distribution of twist angle across the cell, although the data are well fitted near $V_th$. We found that in the voltage region away from $V_th$, the model considering the distributions of the tilt angle and the twist angle should be applied for the calculation of the reflectivity. The director-axis distributions were obtained from the numerical integration of the Euler-Lagrange equation.

In this paper, the electrical power output of the micro-combustor thermophotovoltiac(TPV) system was analyzed. The system consists of a micro-combustor, photonic crystals(PhCs), and photovoltaic cells(PV cells). The system has a micro-combustor that can achieve over 1,000 K surface temperature by consuming 2.5 g/h hydrogen fuel. Also, this system incorporates current state-of-the-art PhCs surfaces(2D Ta PhCs and Tandem Filter) to increase electrical power output. In addition, InGaAsSb PV cell, which bandgap is 0.55 eV, was applied to convert a wide range of radiative energy. The performance analysis shows that a single micro-combustor TPV system can produce 0.4 W ~ 27.7 W electrical power with the temperature change of emitter(900 K ~ 1,500 K) and PV cell(250 K ~ 400 K).
