This paper presents a novel multiband microstrip-fed right angle slot antenna design technique for multiple independent frequency bands. The new technique uses various slot sizes at various appropriate positions. We first propose a tri-band slot antenna consisting of three right angle slots. Then, a quad-band slot antenna is developed with four right angle slots which achieves slant ${\pm}45^{\circ}$ linear polarization, omnidirectional pattern coverage, good antenna gain, and acceptable impedance bandwidths over all the operating frequency range. Moreover, an open-circuited tuning stub is introduced to achieve good impedance matching. Both proposed antennas are designed on a ground plane of RT/duroid 5880 substrate with a thickness of 1.575 mm. The real measurable results show that the desired frequencies used in wireless communication systems, namely, WLAN and WiMax, are efficiently achieved.

본 논문에서는 편광 비의존 특성을 가지는 반도체 광 증폭기 개발을 위해 지금까지와는 다른 새로운 방법인 160($\AA$) 두께를 가지는 GaInAs 양자 우물에 GaAs Delta 층을 각각 1층, 2층, 3층을 삽입한 구조와 GaAs Delta 3층의 구조에서 Delta 층의 두께를 1 원자층에서 3 원자층까지 변화시켜 계산한 결과, 1 원자층 두께를 가지는 GaAs Delta 층이 3층 포함된 구조에서 3dB 이득 대역폭이 TE, TM 모두 85nm로 매우 넓은 대역폭과 편광 비의존 특성을 함께 가지는 구조를 얻어낼 수 있었다. 이러한 GaInAs 양자 우물에 GaAs Delta 층을 삽입한 구조의 이론적 이득 특성의 결과는 반도체 광 증폭기의 설계에 있어서 아주 중요하며, 또한 광대역 과장 분할 다중화 시스템에 적용될 수 있는 반도체 광 증폭기에 알맞은 구조로 사용될 수 있다.

The independent operation of a color filter for incident polarization is demonstrated using a guided-mode resonance (GMR) filter employing a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguide. To achieve independent operation, a rectangular MIM grating is proposed as a wave-guide resonator. The design considerations are discussed and include how to determine the grating period and slit width. Power flow distribution is observed with slit width variation. Blue-green, green-red, and blue-red filters for corresponding x- and y-polarizations are demonstrated as application examples with numerical simulation with rectangle-shaped MIM grating. As a practical application, feasibility as a chromatic polarizer is discussed.

본 논문에서는 측면연마 광섬유 결합기 구조에서 평면 도파로의 상부와 하부 클래딩의 열광학 효과를 이용하여 온도를 측정할 수 있는 편광 무의존 온도 센서를 제안하고 있다. 평면 도파로는 170$\mu\textrm{m}$ 두께의 현미경용 덮게 유리를 적용함으로서 급격한 온도 변화에 대해 도파로의 변형이 발생하지 않고, 비대칭적 평면 도파로 구조로 인한 편광 의존 손실을 최소화하기 시킬 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 제작된 소자의 편광 의존 손실은 0.3dB 이하로 측정되었다. 피측정체의 온도는 센서의 결합 파장 이동으로부터 계측되어진다. 평면 도파로의 상부와 하부 클래딩의 열광학 계수에 따른 온도 센서의 온도 민감도를 측정하였고, 상ㆍ하부 클래딩의 열광학 계수 변화로 온도 민감도를 제어할 수 있음을 보였다.

Pickling inhibitors can be used to form an adsorbed layer on the metal surface to hinder the discharge of H^+$ and dissolution of metal ions. Nitrogen-containing inhibitors were selected as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel (MS) in pickling acid process. In this study, the addition of inhibitor, the pickling temperatures and the pickling times were the parameters to investigate the effects on the inhibition efficiency (IE) for MS by using weight loss measurement. Preliminary results show that the IE increased with the increase in pickling time from 10 minutes to 60 minutes, and the IE also increased with the increase in temperature at room temperature and $40^{\circ}C$. At the higher temperature. the IE values are higher and almost independent with the pickling time. Furthermore, the potentiodynamic polarization, open circuit corrosion potential-time and corrosion current-time studies show that nitorgen-containing inhibitor behaves predominantly as cathodic polarization. The roughness test and SEM investigation are also studied in this paper.

Fatigue characteristics of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) films deposited by electron cyclotron resonance plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (ECR-PECVD) were investigated. The fatigue characteristics were investigated with respect to PZT film thickness, domain structure, fatigue pulse height, temperature, electrode materials and electrode configurations. The used top and bottom electrode materials were Pt and $RuO_2$. In the fatigue characteristics with fatigue pulse height and PZT film thickness, the fatigue rates are independent of the applied fatigue pulse height at the electric field regions to saturate the P-E hysteresis and polarization $(P^*,\;P^A)$ characteristics. The unipolar and bipolar fatigue characteristics of PZT capacitors with four different electrode configurations $(Pt//Pt,\;Pt//RuO_2,\;RuO_2//Pt,\;and\;RuO_2//RuO_2)$ were also investigated. The polarization-shifts during the unipolar fatigue and the temperature dependence of fatigue rate suggest that the migration of charged defects should not be expected in our CVD-PZT films. It seems that the polarization degradations are attributed to the formation of charged defects only at the Pt/PZT interface during the domain switching. The charged defects pin the domain wall at the vicinity of Pt/PZT interface. When the top and bottom electrode configurations are of asymmetric $(Pt//RuO_2,\;RuO_2//Pt)$, the internal fields can be generated by the difference of charged defect densities between top and bottom interfaces.

An isolator transmits light in the forward direction and blocks light from passing in the reverse direction. It is regarded an essential optical component in medical, industrial, and research lasers for blocking reflection beams that cause optical damage and noise. It is also used as a communicative light intensifier to expand the lifespan of devices and enhance transmission quality. This study analyzed the characteristics of the core components in the construction of a polarization-independent isolator, namely, the walk-off polarizer and the Faraday rotator. Measurement of the extinction ratio of the resultant walk-off polarizer revealed that the ratio between the vertical and horizontal rays was 1,050:1 with a laser output of 0.032 W and 1,010:1 with a laser output of 2.68 W, thus presenting ratios similar to 1,000:1. In addition, the walk-off polarizer and Faraday rotator constructed in this study were used to compare output changes according to changes in power of input light and to check the penetration ratio. Results from the study presented variations in output value according to changes in power of input light. However, the average penetration ratio remained relatively consistent (~81.4%).

We investigate the characteristics of the surface mode formed at the single interface between dual singly negative medium layers. It is shown that the interface can support a mode which has polarization degeneracy and a vanishing propagation constant. That is, this surface mode is a polarization-independent one that does not propagate at all through the interface. The corresponding electric and magnetic field distributions become static along the longitudinal (guiding) direction (but not along the transverse direction) resulting in the formation of transverse-electric/longitudinalmagnetic or transverse-magnetic/longitudinal-electric modes.

With HAZ of A 106 Gr B steel weldment, fatigue test in air, electrochemical polarization test and corrosion fatigue test in 3.5wt.% NaCl solution were performed changing load ratio. Obtained results are as follows. 1) K$\sub$op/ was independent of K$\sub$max/ and load ratio in fatigue crack growth. 2) In variation of load ratio, the scatter band of crack growth curve was reduced by half considering crack closure 3) In the result of electrochemical polarization test, current density was increased abruptly when potential was larger than corrosion potential. 4) Fatigue crack growth rate in corrosive environment was markly higher than the rate in air because of corrosion characteristics of the material and anodization of inner surface crack.

Changes in polarization and thermal expansion coefficients during temperature increase of a poled lead zirconate titanate (PZT) cube specimen switched by an electric field at room temperature are measured. The measured data are analyzed to construct governing differential equations for polarization and strain changes. By solving the differential equations, an experimental formula for the high temperature behavior of ferroelectric materials is obtained. It is found that the predictions by the formula are in good agreement with measures. From the viewpoint of macroscopic remnant state variables, it appears that the processes of electric field-induced switching at different temperatures are identical and independent of temperature between $20^{\circ}C$ and $110^{\circ}C$.
