In the fiber-photodiode(PD) coupling module using v-groove, the paraxial approximation is no longer valid because the beam enters obliquely the PD substrate with the angle of $20^{\circ}$ after being reflected from the $55^{\circ}$ mirror formed by anisotropically etching of the (100) silicon wafer. In this paper, we study the beam profile incident on the PD active area and fiber-PD coupling efficiency for this case.

In this paper, an antenna has been proposed for the operation of mobile devices such as Zigbee. The presented rectenna operates at ISM (Industrial Scientific Medical) band of 2.45 GHz and consists of $2{\times}2$ array patch antenna and Villard voltage double rectifier circuit for high conversion efficiency. $2{\times}2$ array patch antenna is fabricated in FR4 substrate having thickness of 1.6mm and dielectric constant of 4.7. The proposed $2{\times}2$ array patch antenna resonates at 2.56GHz with return loss of 38.36dB, VSWR of 1.0244, and its impedance is matched to $50{\Omega}$. The fabricated rectenna has maximum conversion efficiency of 59.8% at an input power lever of 15dBm and load resistance of $500{\Omega}$.

Hydrogenated a-SiGe middle cell for triple junction solar cell was investigated with various process parameters. a-SiGe I-layer was deposited at substrate temperature $245^{\circ}C$ and hydrogen content(R) was up to 26.7. Low optical bandgap(1.45eV) of a-SiGe cell was applied for middle cell although a-SiGe single cell efficiency with low Ge content was higher. And this cell was applied to the middle cell of a glass superstrate type a-Si/a-SiGe/uc-Si triple junction solar cell. The triple junction solar cell was resulted in the initial efficiency of about 9%, area $0.25cm^2$, under global AM 1.5 illumination.

$CuGaSe_2$ (CGS) layers were grown by the hot wall epitaxy method. The optimum temperatures of the substrate and source for growth turned out to be 450 and $610^{\circ}C$, respectively. Based on the absorption measurement, the band-gap variation of CGS was well interpreted by the Varshni's equation. By analyzing these emissions, a band diagram of the observed optical transitions was obtained. From the solar cell measurement, an 11.17 % efficiency on the n-CdS/p-CGS junction was achieved.

Al doped ZnO films deposited on glass substrate using RF magnetron sputtering in Ar and $Ar+H_2$ gas ambient at $100^{\circ}C$. The films deposited in $Ar+H_2$ were hydrogen-annealed at the temperature of $150\sim300^{\circ}C$ for 1hr. The lowest resistivity of $4.25\times10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ was obtained for the AZO film deposited in $Ar+H_2$ after hydrogen annealing at $300^{\circ}C$ for 1hr. The average transmittance is above 85% in the range of 400-1000 nm for all films. The absorption efficiency of solar cell was improved by using the optimized AZO films as a top electrode.

Sputter deposition on a Pt counter electrode was studied using RF plasma as the improvement of conversion efficiency for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC). The effects of the sputtering thickness and incident angle on a Pt counter electrode for DSC was scrutinized. We conducted the experiment to get the optimal sputtering time for the performance of the DSC. Under the sputtering time condition of 120 seconds, we varied the incident angles of substrate from $0^{\circ}$ to $60^{\circ}$. Under standard test condition (AM 1.5, 100mW/$cm^2$), we obtained the maximum efficiency of 4.61% at the incident angle of $40^{\circ}$ with an active cell area of $1cm^2$.

Stability of reactor and effect on biofilm characteristics were investigated by varying the hydraulic residence time in an inverse fluidized bed biofilm reactor(IFBBR). The SCOD removal efficiency was maintained above 90 % in the HRT range of 12hr to 2hr, but the TCOD removal efficiency was dropped down to 50% because of biomass detachment from overgrown bioparticles. The reactor was stably operated up to the conditions of HRT of 2hr and F/M ratio of 4.5kgCOD/$m^3$/day, but above the range there was an abrupt increase of filamentous microorganisms. The optimum biofilm thickness and the biofilm dry density in this experiment were shown as $200\mu\textrm{m}$ and $0.08 g/cm^3$, respectively. The substrate removal rate of this system was found as 1st order because the biofilm was maintained slightly thin by the increased hydraulic loading rate.

In this study, we investigate the $SiO_2$ current blocking layer (CBL) to improve light output power efficiency in nonpolar a-plane (11-20) GaN LEDs on a r-plane sapphire substrate. The $SiO_2$ CBL was produced under the p-pad layer using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). The results show that nonpolar GaN LED light output power with the $SiO_2$ CBL is considerably enhanced compared without the $SiO_2$ CBL. This can be attributed to reduced light absorption at the p-pad due to current blocking to the active layer by the $SiO_2$ CBL.

This paper presents a novel feeding structure of the triple-band internal antenna which covers CELLVLAR/DCS/US-PCS bands. The proposed antenna consists of a U-slot patch radiator with a shorting post connected with ground plane and symmetric feeding lines with respective a feeding and shorting posts on both faces of the fixed FR-4 substrate. Through the simulation and experimental results, the proposed antenna is confirmed to have the features of less interference with a human head/body, broad bandwidth, desirable radiation patterns and efficiency for triple-band applications.

Effects of sulfate on the anaerobic substrate utilization were evaluated using UASB (Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket) reactor. Effect of sulfate on the organic removal rate was dependent on the relative amount of microorganisms in the reactor, the operational condition, and the characteristics of sludge. When the sulfate shock was applied to 0.0 - 3.0g SO$_{4}$$^{2-}$/d, more than 95% of COD removal efficiency was achieved. Therefore, if F/M ratio was kept to low sufficiently with recirculation, it is shown that operation of the reactor was not affected significantly, though sulfate shock load was doubled compared to the normal operation. Provided that it is shocked by high strength of sulfate or temporary shock load is applied frequently the efficiency of reactor may be disadvantageous as well as the wash-out of sludge will be increased by decreasing the size to the accumulated frequency of granular sludge and the size with maximum frequency.
