HCCI (Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition) combustion has a great advantage in reducing NOx (Nitrogen Oxides) and PM (Particulate Matter) by lowering the combustion temperature due to spontaneous ignitions at multiple sites in a very lean combustible mixture. However, it is difficult to make a diesel-fuelled HCCI possible because of a poor vaporability of the fuel. To resolve this problem, the two-stage injection strategy was introduced to promote the ignition of the extremely early injected fuel. The compression ratio and air-fuel ratio were found to affect not only the ignition, but also control the combustion phase without a need for the intake-heating or EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation). The ignition timing could be controlled even at a higher compression ratio with increased IMEP (Indicated Mean Effective Pressure). The NOx (Nitrogen Oxides) emission level could be reduced by more than 90 % compared with that in a conventional DI (Direct Injection) diesel combustion mode, but the increase of PM and HC (Hydrocarbon) emissions due to over-penetration of spray still needs to be resolved.

The fuel-lean premixed flame has been considered one of the most efficient ways to reduce $NO_X$ emission during a combustion process. However, it is difficult to achieve stable fuel-lean premixed flames over the wide range of equivalence ratios: therefore, the application of fuel-lean flames to a practical combustion system is rather limited. In this study, the stability characteristics of fuel-lean flames stabilized by fuel-rich flames are investigated experimentally using a slot burner as a part of the basic research for practical application such as lean burn engines. Spontaneous emission of radical species were examined to understand the stability mechanisms of rich-lean premixed flames. The presence of fuel-rich flames could significantly lower the lean limit of fuel-lean flames. The stability of a fuel-lean flame is enhanced with the increase of fuel flow rate in a fuel-rich flame; how ever, it is not sensitive to the equivalence ratio of fuel-rich flames in the range of 1.2-2.4. The mechanisms of stable rich-lean premixed flames could be understood based on the characteristics of triple flame.

This paper present a gain-clamped L-band EDFA based on reflecting back a portion of backward amplified spontaneous emission into the erbium-doped fiber section, utilizing a fiber Bra99 grating. By using FBG with R=66.1 and 99.9%, the gain is clamped at 15.1 and 14.3㏈, respectively, with a variation of less than 0.2㏈ for an input signal power as high as -5 ㏈m. However, a small noise figure penalty is obtained, which is the consequence of the gain clamping effect.

To improve characteristics of optical devices that used be WDM system optimally, we investigated characteristics of two types structures that consisted of non-uniform thickness Quantum well. They have high characteristic temperature and 3dB bandwidth of spontaneous emission are 57nm, 50nm respectively, which are 1.4times, 1.3times wider than conventional structure.

To reduce the mode noise induced from a multimode dye laser, a modeless laser generating amplified spontaneous emission was used as Stokes beam of the broadband CARS. A new technique for measuring species concentration from the modulation dip of nonresonant background of broadband CARS spectrum was proposed. The modulation dip was numerically calculated and fitted as a function of the concentration of the minor species and temperature of gas sample. We applied this technique in measuring CO concentration in a static cell and also the profile of CO concentration in a CHdair premixed flame of a counterflow burner.

Performances of spectrum-sliced channels are strongly affected by their relative intensity noise (RIN). We use polarization-independent optical modulators (PIOMs) for spectrum-sliced channels to suppress their RIN. The PIOM driven by a high sinusoidal voltage signal evenly redistributes optical frequency components in the spectral domain and reduces the RIN. It can be used at a broadband light source (BLS) output to produce spectrum-sliced channels having lower RIN values. Also, it can be used for each spectrum-sliced channel within each optical network unit (ONU). In our experiment, where 12.5-GHz-spaced spectrum-sliced channels are used in 1-GbE speed, the use of PIOM at the BLS output reduces the bit error rate (BER) of the spectrum-sliced channel by more than an order of magnitude. The use of PIOM within the ONU reduces the BER by approximately 3 orders of magnitude.

A simple experimental method to design gain-flattened erbium-doped fiber amplifier is proposed and demonstrated based on the two linear relations between the output power and the pump power, and between the gain and the length of the eribium-doped fiber at the gain flattened state. The spectral gain variation of the eribium-doped fiber amplifiber constructed by this method was less than 0.4 dB over 12 nm (1,545~1,557nm) wavelength region. The gain flatness is also controlled within 0.4 dB over the input power range of -30~-15dBm/ch through the feedback control utilizing the amplified spontaneous emission power in the 1,530 nm region.

Schisandra chinensis have been traditionally used in Asia for the treatment of dyspnea, cough, mouth dryness, spontaneous diaphoresis, nocturnal diaphoresis, nocturnal emission, dysentery, insomnia and amnesia. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the protective effects of Schisandra chinensis on oxidative DNA damage and lipid peroxidation induced by ROS in non cellular and cellular system. DPPH radical, hydroxyl radical and hydrogen peroxide scavenging assay were used to measure the antioxidant activities. Phi X-174RF I plasmid DNA cleavage assay and intracellular DNA migration assay were used to evaluate the protective effect on oxidative DNA damage. MTT assay and lipid peroxidation assay were used for evaluating the protective effect on oxidative cell damage. It was found to scavenge DPPH radical, hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radical and it inhibited oxidative DNA damage, lipid peroxidation and cell death induced by hydroxyl radical. These data indicate that Schisandra chinensis possesses a spectrum of antioxidant and DNA-protective properties

1987년에 Tang과 VanSlyke가 유기발광물질중의 하나인 8-hydroxyquinoline aluminum(Alq$_3$)을 사용하여 유기발광소자의 특성[1]을 발표하였으며, 1990년에 영국의 Cambridge대학 Cavendish 연구소는 Poly(p-phenylene vinylene)[2]를 이용한 고분자 발광소자의 특성을 보고하였다. 저분자와 고분자를 이용한 이 두 편의 논문은 낮은 인가전압, 높은 형광효율, 반도체의 성격을 보고하고 있다. 이와 같은 특성들은 실질적인 전기 발광소자에 대한 적용 가능성 및 대형 디스플레이에 대한 개발 잠재력[3]을 시사하고 있다. 특히 본 연구에 사용된 Fabry-Perot 공진기 형태의 광학적 미세공동구조는[4,5] 발광파장을 조절할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 에너지 재분포로 인해 발광세기를 향상시킬 수 있다는 점에서 다른 EL소자들이 가지는 일반적인 구조와 대조되는 장점을 가지고 있다.

A feedback loop with bandpass filter is introduced in erbium-doped fiber amplifier to clamp the amplifier gain by lasing the amplifier at a selected wavelength. The gain and the ASE (amplified spontaneous emission) output spectra are found to be independent of input signal power and pump power variation so long as the amplifier is lasing. Also they are found to be dependent only on the overall loss of the feedback loop. Even in the case of slowly modulated large signal input, signal distortion due to gain saturation is not observed.served.
