For a more detailed understanding of the mechanism of an L-band erbium-doped fiber amplifier, we investigated 980 nm absorption, signal amplification and forward and backward amplified spontaneous emission along the erbium-doped fiber. In addition, we compared performances of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier with and without a fiber Bragg grating.

Insulators contaminated by salt particles may cause flashovers in humid climate or light rain. Therefore, the quantity of salt on insulators should be monitored not to exceed a critical value. We propose a new remote sensing technique to measure the quantity of salt on insulators of power systems. The amount of the salt is measured from the intensity of the spontaneous emission from the sodium atoms. In this paper, a compact remote on-line salt-meter composed of Q Switch pulsed Nd:YAG laser and emission signal detection system will be introduced. And as the first result of this study, the operating characteristics of our developing laser system is also introduced.

Synthesis and properties of novel excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) materials recently developed in our group are described. Highly efficient ESIPT in polymeric system has been investigated theoretically and experimentally with a semi-rigid polyquinoline (PQH, PQDH) possessing an intramolecular tautomerizable hydrogen bond. Poly(aryl ether) dendrimers of three different generations that are cored with photo-tautomerizable quinoline (QGn, n=1,2,3) were also synthesized and characterized to investigate the effect of dendritic architecture on the ESIPT activity. Stimulated emission and amplified spontaneous emission in these organic materials system are discussed in terms of ESIPT activity.

In this paper, we report the experimental results of a hybrid wideband fiber amplifier. The amplifying medium is a concatenated hybrid fiber consisting of Er-doped fiber (EDF) and dispersion compensating fiber (DCF). The gain mechanisms are based on stimulated emission in the EDF and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in the DCF. Since we simultaneously use optical amplification by the two processes, the gain bandwidth is easily expanded over 105 nm by a two-tone pumping scheme. Using an experimental setup constructed with a hybrid structure of EDF-DCF-EDF, we analyzed the spectral behavior of amplified spontaneous emission for pumping powers. We achieved an optical gain of over 20 dB in the wavelength range from 1,500 to 1,600 nm under optimized pumping conditions to make the spectral gain shape flat.

In the area of optoelectronic devices based on GaN and related ternary compounds, the two-dimensional system like as quantum wells (QWs) has been investigated as an effective structure for improving the light-emitting efficiency. Generally, the quantum well active regions in III-nitride light-emitting diodes grown on conventional c-plane sapphire substrates have critical problems given by the quantum confined Stark effect (QCSE) due to the effects of strong piezoelectric and spontaneous polarizations. However, the QWs grown on nonpolar templates are free from the QCSE since the polar-axis lies within the growth plane of the template. Also the unique characteristic of linear polarized light emission from nonpolar QW structures is attracting attentions because it is proper to the application of back-light units of liquid crystal display. In this study, we characterized optical properties of the a-plane InGaN/GaN QW structures by temperature-dependent photoluminescence (TDPL) measurements. From the photoluminescence (PL) spectrum measured at 300 K, green emission centered at 520 nm was observed for the QW region. Since indium incorporation on nonpolar QWs is lower than that on c-plane, this high indium-doping on a-plane InGaN QWs is not common. Therefore, the effect of high indium composition on optical properties in a-plane InGaN QWs will be extensively studied.

회절격자 반주기 길이의 랜덤 변이가 QWS-DFB 레이저의 특성을 나타내는 척도인 xL 값에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. QWS-DFB 레이저의 양 거울면은 무반사면으로 하였고, 회절격자 랜덤 변이는 평균이 0이고 분산이 1인 상관되어 있는 두 Gaussian 랜덤 변수로 나타내었다. 회절격자 반주기의 랜덤 변이가 있으면 동일 위상성분의 되먹임이 적어져 유효 xL 값이 감소하고 모드 간격이 줄어든다. 그런데, 회절격자 주기의 랜덤 변이가 있을 때 곁모드 간격에서 구한 결합계수 xL/sub SM/값과 주모드 거울면 손실에서 구한 xL/sub SM/는 일치하지 않으며, 랜덤 변이가 없을 때의 xL값보다 작다. 이 결과는 곁모드 간격 또는 spontaneous emission spectrum을 사용하여 측정한 xL/sub SM/ 값을 실제로 되먹임되는 정도를 나타내는 xL/sub eff/로 해석하여서는 안된다는 사실을 보여준다.

반도체 광 증폭기의 특성을 이해하기 위하여 비율 방정식을 수치 해석적으로 풀었다. 사용된 비율 방정식은 운반자 밀도와 자발 방출된 빛, 그리고 신호 빛을 위치와 시간의 함수로 기술할 수 있다. 사각 파형의 신호가 입사했을 경우에 대하여 위의 세가지 양을 구하여서 반도체 광증포기의 동적인 특성을 파악하였다. 파장 다중 광통신에서처럼 다중신호가 입사하는 경우의 비선형성을 분석하였다. 맥놀이에 의한 내부변조 변형을 계산하여 본 결과 파장 간격이 넓을수록 내부변조 변형은 줄어드는 결과를 정량적으로 얻었으며, 신호간의 채널 간섭은 신호의 세기가 감소하면 줄어드는 결과를 얻었다. 또한 신호로 사용되는 파장에서 충분히 멀리 떨어진 연속파동 레이저가 입사하는 경우에는 채널간의 신호간섭과 출력파형 변형이 감소하는 이득고정 효과가 나타남을 계산을 통하여 확인하였다.

자유 공간 광통신 시스템에서 발생하는 대기 외란에 의한 광신호 변동을 억제하기 위하여 전광(all-optical) 자동 이득 조절(automatic gain controlled, AGC) 어븀 첨가 광섬유 증폭기(erbium-doped fiber amplifier, EDFA)를 활용할 때의 성능을 실험적으로 평가하였다. EDFA에 입력되는 광신호 입력을 -30 dBm과 -10 dBm으로 각각 설정하여 증폭기가 소 신호 영역과 포화 영역에서 동작할 때의 성능을 실험적으로 비교하였다. 이 때 광신호의 요동은 음향 광학 변조기(acousto-optic modulator, AOM)를 활용하여 구현하였다. 실험 결과로부터 EDFA가 소 신호 영역에서 동작하며, 피드백되는 증폭된 자발 방출(amplified spontaneous emission, ASE) 광 전력이 0 dBm으로 증폭기를 포화시킬 수 있는 경우에 가장 작은 광신호 요동 특성을 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is the measurement of the magnetic fields produced by electrical activity in the brain, usually conducted externally, using extremely sensitive devices such as Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID). MEG needs complex and expensive measurement settings. Because the magnetic signals emitted by the brain are on the order of a few femtoteslas (1 fT = 10-15T), shielding from external magnetic signals, including the Earth's magnetic field, is necessary. An appropriate magnetically shielded room is very expensive, and constitutes the bulk of the expense of an MEG system. MEG is a relatively new technique that promises good spatial resolution and extremely high temporal resolution, thus complementing other brain activity measurement techniques such as electroencephalography (EEG), positron emission tomography (PET), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). MEG combines functional information from magnetic field recordings with structural information from MRI. The clinical uses of MEG are in detecting and localizing epileptic form spiking activity in patients with epilepsy, and in localizing eloquent cortex for surgical planning in patients with brain tumors. Magnetoencephalography may be used alone or together with electroencephalography, for the measurement of spontaneous or evoked activity, and for research or clinical purposes.

As advantages of LPG-DI engine, LPG is directly injected into combustion chamber during compression stroke to reduce compression temperature, prevent knock and spontaneous combustion, and adjust engine output using the amount of directly injected fuel, thereby reducing pumping loss caused by throttle valve. Stratified charge can be supplied nearby spark plugs to allow for overall lean combustion, which improves thermal efficiency and can cope with problems regarding emission regulations. In addition, it is characterized by free designing of intake manifold. Despite the fact that LPG-DI has many advantages as described above, there is lack of detailed investigation and study on spray characteristics, combustion flame characteristics, and ignition probability. In this study, a visualization experiment system that consists of visualization combustion chamber, air supply control system, emission control system, LPG fuel supply system, electronic control system and image data acquisition system was designed and manufactured. For supply of stratified charge in the combustion chamber, alignment of injector and spark plugs was made linear.
