We printed a one-dimensional array of metallic wires and a two-dimensional array of metallic split ring resonators on a photo-paper by using a high-dots-per-inch resolution printer and an ink with silver nano-particles. The printed sample sizes are $1.0{\times}1.0cm^2$. The transmission measured by a terahertz time domain spectroscopy system shows that the arrays of wires and split ring resonators could act as polarizers and band-stop filters, respectively, in a terahertz frequency region.

튜닝 가능한 광 신호 지연기를 설계, 제작 및 특성 측정을 하였다. 광 신호 지연기는 네 개의 폴리머 링 공진기 add/drop 필터들과 그 사이에 배치된 지연 도파로들로 구성되었다. 폴리머 도파로는 한변의 길이가 $1.8{\mu}m$ 인 정사각형 매립 구조이고, 코어와 클래딩의 굴절율은 각각 1.48과 1.37이다. 이와 같은 도파 구조로 인하여 매우 작은 반경의 곡선도파로를 활용함으로써, 콤팩트한 소자를 실현할 수 있다. 각각의 add/drop 필터의 링 공진기 상에 전극을 형성하여 열 광학 효과에 의한 튜닝이 가능하도록 하였다. 측정 결과, 각각의 add/drop 필터를 튜닝함으로써 지연 도파로의 수에 비례하는 지연 시간인 110 ps, 225 ps, and 330 ps를 확인할 수 있다.

In this article, new microstrip slow-wave bandpass filters using open loop resonator loaded with inter-digital capacitive fingers is proposed. The filter features not only compact in size, but also exhibits spurious stop-band rejection. Filters of this type with elliptic function and Chebyshev response are demonstrated. There is good agreement between experimental and full-wave electromagnetic (EM) simulation results.

본 논문에서는 $1{\times}4$ 스위치와 서로 다른 FSR(free spectral ranges)을 갖는 마이크로링 공진기 배열을 결합하여 구현된 광공진기 라우터를 기반으로 하는 집적광학 방식의 4채널 선택 마이크로웨이브(microwave: MW) 필터를 제안하고 구현하였다. 중심 주파수는 링 공진기의 반지름에 따른 FSR에 의해 결정되며, 이를 통해 얻어지는 10 GHz, 16 GHz, 18 GHz, 20 GHz로 구성된 4개의 채널은 광스위치에 제어 전압을 인가하여 개별적으로 선택할 수 있었다.

A compact ultra-wide band antenna with a quadruple band-notched characteristic is proposed. The proposed antenna consists of a slotted trapezoid patch radiator, an inverted U-shaped band stop filter, a pair of C-shaped band stop filters, and a rectangular ground plane. To realize the quadruple notch-band characteristic, a U-shaped slot, a complementary split ring resonator, an inverted U-shaped band stop filter, and two C-shaped band stop filters are utilized in this antenna. The antenna satisfies the -10 dB reflection coefficient bandwidth requirement in the frequency band of 2.88-12.67 GHz, with a band-rejection characteristic in the WiMAX (3.43-3.85 GHz), WLAN (5.26-6.01 GHz), X-band satellite communication (7.05-7.68 GHz), and ITU 8 GHz (8.08-8.87 GHz) signal bands. In addition, the proposed antenna has a compact volume of $30mm{\times}33.5mm{\times}0.8mm$ while maintaining omnidirectional patterns in the H-plane. The experimental and simulated results of the proposed antenna are shown to be in good agreement.

Polarization imaging systems have been widely used to selectively characterize skin lesions. Nevertheless, current systems are used in single-mode due to the limitations of a fixed polarization mode and a single-working distance of light source, in which uniform light distribution is achieved on target area. To address such limitations, we developed a variable polarization imaging system based on multi-working distance of light source for various clinical diagnoses. In this study, we characterize the imaging system and present experiment results demonstrating its clinical usefulness. The imaging system consists of a CCD color camera, linear polarization filters, and a single-layered LED ring light source which provides uniform light distribution at multi-working distances. The first polarizer was placed on the light source and the second polarizer placed on objective lens provides continuous linear polarization angle from $0^{\circ}\;to\;90^{\circ}$. The clinical efficacy of the imaging system was investigated by acquiring and analyzing clinical images of skin wrinkle and dental plaque. With the experiments, we verified the potential usefulness of the imaging system for other clinical applications.

Objectives: In general, NIOSH method 5506 is most widely used for the occupational exposure measurement of PAHs, but 2-4 ring PAHs have poor desorption efficiency, especially for a filter. The purpose of this study was to determine a method to increase the desorption efficiency of 16-PAHs using an ultrasonic extraction procedure. Methods: Test samples prepared spiked XAD-2 tubes and PTFE filters in the range of $0.01-1.0{\mu}g/mL$ for desorption efficiency study. Four different extraction solvents, acetonitrile, acetone, tetrahydrofuran and dichloromethane, were tested in order to select the most suitable solvent for the extraction of the 16 PAHs. The addition of dimethyl sulfoxide and sonication time were considered in order to determine the method with the highest extraction efficiency. All samples were made in three sets and analysis was replicated seven times by HPLC. Results: Acetonitrile and acetone were the optimized as an extraction solvent and desorption efficiency of 2-ring PAHs such as naphthalene, acenaphthylene were increased 3~19% with dimethyl sulfoxide for XAD-2. Acetone was the best extraction solvent for PTFE filter and the desorption efficiency was increased 3~13% for 2- to 4-ring PAHs. The optimum sonication time was 60 minutes and desorption efficiency increased with extraction time. Conclusions: As a result, the best extraction solvent was acetone with dimethyl sulfoxide for ultrasonic extraction procedure and the desorption efficiency of this method was better than NIOSH 5506's. This study could be applied as a method for occupational exposure measurement of PAHs.

We design a reconfigurable optical node for metropolitan WDM networks, and numerically study the capability of the node in the optical signal level. Unlike a long-haul WDM system, major limitations of metropolitan WDM systems are power loss, fiber dispersion and optical signal-to-noise ratio(OSNR) degradation due to EDFAs. Therefore, we include the behaviors of transmitter and receiver, and fiber, EDFAs, and optical filters(MUX/DeMux) in numerical simulations with varying parameters over wide range. From simulation results, we can identify the maximum span numbers for OC-48 and OC-192 to achieve $BER<10^{-12}$ using the node structure at various received powers and residual dispersions.

본 연구에서는 디스크 링 형태에 패터닝된 박막을 적층시킨 모듈의 분리특성을 규명하고자 투과실험을 수행하였다. 먼저, 본 연구에서 자체 제작한 5가지 형태의 디스크 필터의 순수 투과도를 측정하였으며 그 값은 0.25 내지 $2.24L/m^2{\cdot}hr{\cdot}bar$이었다. 0.1 wt% 카올린 수용액을 투과시키면 순수 투과율이 가장 높은 모듈의 투과유속이 가장 높았고, 순수 투과율이 가장 낮았던 모듈의 카올린 투과유속이 가장 낮게 나타났다. 그러나 모든 모듈의 카올린 투과유속이 순수 투과율에 비례하지는 않았다. 또한 0.1 wt% 수용액으로 장시간 운전하기 위하여 디스크 필터 모듈 1에 주기적으로 역세척을 실시하였으며 가장 효율적인 운전조건은 투과시간 8분, 역세척 2분 주기임을 확인하였다.

Three biological aerated filters (BAFs) composed of a PVC pipe with a diameter of 75 mm were constructed and operated at a waste-water temperature at $13^{\circ}C$. The media used for each BAF were: 5-mm gravel; 5-mm lava rock; 12.5-mm diameter by 15-mm long plastic rings, all with a media depth of 1.7 m. The feedwater, which simulated the effluent of aerated lagoons, had influent soluble chemical oxygen demand (sCOD) and ammonia concentrations of approximately 50 and 25 mg/L, respectively. For a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of two hours without recirculation, ammonia percent removals were 98.5, 98.9, and 97.8%, for the gravel, lava rock, and plastic rings, respectively. By increasing the effluent recirculation from 100 to 200% for an HRT of one hour, respective ammonia removals improved from 90.1 to 96, 76.5 to 90, and 65.3 to 79.5% for gravel, lava rock, and plastic rings. Based on the ammonia and sCOD loadings for different HRTs, the estimated maximum ammonia loading was approximately 0.6 kg $NH_3-N/m^3$-day for the three BAFs of different media types. The zero-order biotransformation rates for the BAF with gravel were found to be higher than the lava rock and plastic ring media. The results ultimately showed that BAF can be used as an add-on system to aerated lagoons or as a secondary treatment unit to meet ammonia discharge limits.
