Based on the modified effective index method, analysis of dielectric rectangular waveguides and directional couplers are presented. Aside from the effective index concept of channel region, the equivalent index concept of cladding region is proposed. The error problem of eigenvalues, which has been experienced when the effective index method is used, is improved. Our approxiamtions give similar accuracy when compared with the results of other regorous approxiamtion techiniques. The advantage of the modified effective index methods is utilized by replacing the directional coupler with the equivalent slab guides, and the coupling constant is calculated by the coupled mode theory. The effectiveness of the equivalent index concept is positively confirmed.

We propose a rigorous 2D approximation technique for the 3D waveguide structures; it can minimize the well-known approximation errors of the commonly used effective index method. The main concept of the proposed technique is to compensate for the effective cladding index in the equivalent slab model of the original channel waveguide from the modal effective index calculated by the nonuniform 2D finite difference method. With simulations, we used the proposed technique to calculate the coupling characteristics of a directional coupler by the 2D beam propagation method, and the results were almost exactly the same as the results calculated by the 3D beam propagation method.

In this study, the slab waveguide was fabricated using potassium-nitride(KNO$_3$) or silver-nitride (AgNO$_3$) molten sources by ion-exchange process. The effective refractive indices of waveguide were measured by Prism-Coupling method. and The characteristics of waveguide(mode dispersion, effective diffusion depth. surface refractive index, diffusion coefficient, and refractive index profile etc,) were investigated by WKB method, In the case of potassium ion-exchange, the computer calculation showed that the refractive index profile of waveguide followed Gaussian function, the surface refractive index increased with ion-exchange time and the effective diffusion depth increased a little as ion-exchange time increased, while the surface refractive index of silver ion-exchanged waveguide decreased with ion-exchange time because of the ion depletion on the surface of waveguide, and the effective diffusion depth seriously with ion-exchange tim. Double ion-exchanged waveguide was fabricated by performing silver ion-exchange after potassium ion-exchange. Double ion-exchanged waveguide had a tight mode binding force since the surface refractive index was larger than single step ion-exchanged waveguide.

According to many recent studies suggesting that cash flow analysis method tends to be more effective than traditional financial index analysis method to predict corporate bankruptcy, this study applies the cash flow analysis method to hospital business to identify the significant variables which can distinguish between superior hospitals and bankruptcy hospitals. The author analyzed recent 3 years, i.e. from the year of 2000 to the year of 2002, financial statements of 31 bankrupt hospitals In 2003, and the same number of superior hospitals through using Multiple Discriminant Analysis and Logit Analysis. The results are belows; First, the study releases that Logit Analysis is more likely to be effective than Multiple Discriminant Analysis. Second, this research also shows that traditional financial index analysis method is more superior compare to cash flow analysis method for hospital bankruptcy predict model. Finally, this study suggest that the significant variables, which can distinguish superior hospitals from bankrupt hospitals, are Operating/Current Liabilities$(Y_2)$, CFO/Equity$(Y_5)$ for cash flow analysis method and Net Worth to Total Assets Ratio$(X_1)$, Quick Ratio $(X_3)$, Return on Assets$(X_6)$, Growth Rate of Patient Revenues$(X_{16})$ for traditional financial index analysis method.

In recent years, Anodic aluminum oxide(AAO) has become popular and attractive materials. It can be easily fabricated and self-organized pore structures. It has been widely used as a biosensor membrane, photonic crystal for optical circuit and template for nanotube growth etc. In previous papers, the theory was developed that AAO shows anisotropic optical properties, since it has anisotropic structure with numerous cylindrical pores. It gives rise to the anisotropy of the refractive index called as birefringence. It can be used as conventional polarizing elements with high efficiency and low cost. Therefore, we would like to compare the theory and experimental results in this study. One method which can measure effective refractive index of thin film is the prism coupling technique. It can give accurate results fast and simply. Furthermore, we can also measure separately the refractive index with different polarization using polarization of the laser (TE mode and TM mode). We calculated the effective refractive index with effective medium approximations (EMAs) by pore size in the SEM image. EMAs are physical models that describe the macroscopic system as the homogeneous and typical method of all mean field theories.

In general, such methods as interferometers or wavefront sensors are commonly used for testing of an optical system and optical components. In these cases, the surrounding environments are unlikely to affect the measurements. On the other hand, intraocular lenses of hydrophilic materials with special properties experience a certain difficulty in testing the optical properties. An intraocular lens is dried in the air, which causes deformation and changes the optical characteristics such as index of refraction and thickness. Thus, it is hard to measure the optical characteristics of an intraocular lens by using common methods. In this study, a special structure is used for measuring of the transmission wavefront aberration and effective focal length of an intraocular lens of hydrophilic materials by using a Shark-Hartmann sensor among the various measuring methods. As an application of this measuring method, this study shows a simple method to measure the index of refraction of unknown liquids with a plano-convex lens with a well known index of refraction. Also, this method is used to measure the optical properties of a plano-convex such as index of refraction and curvature by using a liquid with a well known index of refraction.

본 연구는 중소하천유역에 있어서 미국토양보존전국(U.S. Soil conservation Service)의 SCS 방법과 $\Phi$-Index 방법과를 비교하면서 유효우량을 산정하고 또한 설계수문곡선의 첨두유량을 산정하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 낙동강 유역에 속한 신천유역은 UNESCO의 주관아래 국제수문 개발계획 대표시험유역으로 채택되었던 유역으로서 그 중요성이 크다고 생각하여 SCS 방법의 적용을 위하여 균양군의 분류에 따른 토지이용 및 처리 상태와 토양의 분류, 토양의 종류 등을 파악하여 유출수를 구하였다. 그리고 주요호우의 총우량일유효우량관계 자료에 의한 평균유출수와 비교해 본 결과 SCS 방법의 유출수가 적게 나타났으며, 신천유역의 5개 측소의 강우자료로부터 $\Phi$-Index 법에 의한 유효우량과도 비교하였다. 한편 설계수문곡선의 첨두유량은 SCS법, Chow법, Mockus법과 비교해 본 결과, SCS법의 무차원수문곡선과 Chow법이 실측에 의한 단위도의 첨두유량과 가까운 적합성을 보여주었다.

2차원 광속전파법을 써서 3차원 구조를 갖는 광도파로 소자를 보다 빠르고 정확하게 해석할 수 있게 하는 새로운 수정된 유효굴절률법을 제시한다. 이 방법은 계산시간이 너무 많이 요구되는 현실적으로는 사용하기가 어려운 3차원 광속전파법 대신에 직사각형, ?덕, 또는 이와 유사한 형태의 광화로소자를 짧은 시간안에 정확히 해석할 수 있다. 실례로 직사각형 단면의 도파로로 리루어진 방향성 결합기에 이 방법을 적용하여 3차원 광도파로를 2차원으로 근사하는데 따른 계산 오차를 기존의 유효굴절률법보다 크게 줄링수 있음을 보였다.

편광 독립적인 InP형 배열 도파로 회절 격자 소자의 설계를 위하여 경계면이 편광 의존성에 미치는 효과를 살펴보고, 편광 독립적인 InP형 2차원 도파로를 설계하였다. 도파로의 경계면이 편광 의존성에 미치는 효과를 살펴보기 위하여 1차원 도파로에 대하여 넘김 행렬법(Transfer Matrix Method)을 사용하여 파동 방정식을 풀었다. 계산 결과 경계면이 많을수록 복굴절성은 커짐을 보였다. 편광 독립적인 2차원 도파로 설계에는 유효굴절률법(Effective Index Method)을 사용하였다. 고려한 구조는 리지형태(ridge type), 올림층형태(raised strip type), 매립형태(buried type)의 도파로인데, 리지형태와 올림층형태의 구조에는 기존의 유효굴절법을 적용하였고, 매립형태의 도파로는 개선된 유효굴절률법을 적용하였다. 계산 결과로부터 편광 독립적인 2차원 도파로의 폭과 높이를 결정하였고, 주어진 복굴절성의 한계에 대하여 허용될 수 있는 도파로의 폭과 높이의 허용오차도 논의하였다.

This paper proposes a new image retrieval method called the 3D integrated multi-index to fuse SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) visual words with other features at the indexing level. The advantage of the 3D integrated multi-index is that it can produce finer subdivisions in the search space. Compared with the inverted indices of medium-sized codebook, the proposed method increases time slightly in preprocessing and querying. Particularly, the SIFT, contour and colour features are fused into the integrated multi-index, and the joint cooperation of complementary features significantly reduces the impact of false positive matches, so that effective image retrieval can be achieved. Extensive experiments on five benchmark datasets show that the 3D integrated multi-index significantly improves the retrieval accuracy. While compared with other methods, it requires an acceptable memory usage and query time. Importantly, we show that the 3D integrated multi-index is well complementary to many prior techniques, which make our method compared favorably with the state-of-the-arts.
