Underwater images are very much different from images taken on land, due to the presence of a higher disturbance ratio caused by the presence of water medium between the camera and the target object. These distortions and noises result in unclear details and reduced quality of the output image. An underwater image restoration method is proposed in this paper, which uses blurriness information, background light neutralization information, and red-light intensity to estimate depth. The transmission map is then estimated using the derived depth map, by considering separate attenuation coefficients for direct and backscattered signals. The estimated transmission map and estimated background light are then used to recover the scene radiance. Qualitative and quantitative analysis have been used to compare the performance of the proposed method against other state-of-the-art restoration methods. It has been shown that the proposed method can yield good quality restored underwater images. The proposed method has also been evaluated using different qualitative metrics, and results have shown that method is highly capable of restoring underwater images with different conditions. The results are significant and show the applicability of the proposed method for underwater image restoration work.

본 논문의 연구내용은 차량간 통신에 응용이 가능한 조명용 LED 광통신 링크의 링크전송성공율 분석에 관한 연구로서, 가시광통신에 기반한 차량간 메시지 전달 시스템을 모델링 하고, 광수신 파워를 통해 신호대 잡음비 (signal-to-noise ratio)를 계산하고, 이에 따른 링크 전송성공확률을 계산함으로써, 가시광통신에 기반한 차량간 무선통신이 가능함을 검증하는 것이다. 저속이동 또는 정지 중인 차량의 후미등을 광송신기로 사용하고 후방차량의 전방에 장착된 광수신기를 이용하는 메시지 전달시스템에 있어, 각 차량의 위치가 정규확률분포를 따를 때, 광송신기 및 광수신기의 물리적 특성에 따른 링크전송성공확률을 계산한다. 먼저, 정규확률분포에 따라 차량의 위치를 랜덤하게 생성한 후, 각각의 광링크에 해당하는 BER을 계산하였다. 이를 통해, 전체 링크 중 $BER{\leq}10^{-6}$을 만족하는 링크의 비율을 링크전송성공율로 정의한 결과, 송신 광파워가 400mW이고 광송신기의 semi-angle at half power가 30도인 최적화되지 않은 차량간 광링크의 경우, 링크 전송성공율 90% 이상이 가능함을 확인하였다.

This study suggested comprehensive structural characterization methods for the commercial blue light emitting diodes(LEDs). By using the Z-contrast intensity profile of Cs-corrected high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscope(HAADF-STEM) images from a commercial lateral GaN-based blue light emitting diode, we obtained important structural information on the epilayer structure of the LED, which would have been difficult to obtain by conventional analysis. This method was simple but very powerful to obtain structural and chemical information on epi-structures in a nanometer-scale resolution. One of the examples was that we could determine whether the barrier in the multi-quantum well(MQW) was GaN or InGaN. Plan-view TEM observations were performed from the commercial blue LED to characterize the threading dislocations(TDs) and the related V-pit defects. Each TD observed in the region with the total LED epilayer structure including the MQW showed V-pit defects for almost of TDs independent of the TD types: edge-, screw-, mixed TDs. The total TD density from the region with the total LED epilayer structure including the MQW was about $3.6{\times}10^8cm^{-2}$ with a relative ratio of Edge- : Screw- :Mixed-TD portion as 80%: 7%: 13%. However, in the mesa-etched region without the MQW total TD density was about $2.5{\times}10^8cm^{-2}$ with a relative ratio of Edge- : Screw- :Mixed-TD portion of 86%: 5%: 9 %. The higher TD density in the total LED epilayer structure implied new generation of TDs mostly from the MQW region.

Effects of the external optical feedback on the optical transmission characteristics were evaluated for 3 kinds of commercialized DFB-LD modules for 2.5Gbps optical communication systems. As a result, intensity noise induced by external optical feedback via generating the external cavity modes deteriorated the transmission performances of sthe DFB-LD modules as much as 1.5dB, 1.2dB, and 1.0dB for the maximum feedback ratio of -8.8dB which corresponds to the worst reflection along the fiber transmission line. Additional penalty of 0.5dB was occurrred when state of polarization of feedback light was adjusted. From the experiments evaluating the isolation ratio of the single polarization optical isolator, decrease of the polarization dependent isolation ratio as much as 10dB from that of specification and the effective isolation ratio as much as 20dB from that of specification was mjor cause of high sensitivity of DFB-LD modules to external feedback. It was suggested that polarization independent optical isolator or single polarization optical isolator with isolation ratio specification of more than 40dB is required for 2.5Gbps DFB-LD modules with complete suppression of external feedback effects.

Photoisomerizing molecules which can transform their structure by the light irradiation have great deal for the application of photo-switching devices. And azobenzene is the representive type of the photoisomerizing molecules. It can transform their trans- structures into cis- structure as the light for certain wave lengths they receive. This property shows the potential of ON/OFF switching functionalization which can be used into the nano scale photo switch. Furthermore, many studies are interested in the organic linkers that connect the azobenzene and metal electrodes. We used S, $CH_2S$, $(CH_2)_4S$ as the linker to watch the influence of linkers for electronic properties. So We suggest a photoswitching device based on the vertical junction using the first-principles calculations with density functional theory and non-equilibrium Greens function (NEGF). By analyzing the electronic structure and tunneling current caused by the structural difference of the system between cis- and trans- azobenzene, the difference in switching mechanism, ON/OFF ratio and transmission will be watched as the linker changes. And finally We will suggest which linker would be the better for the optimal device architecture which can achieve high control of the ON/OFF photocurrent ratio. This result will show the potential of azobenzene-based photoswitch and provide the critical insight in constructing the optimal device architecture.

가시광을 이용하여 정보를 전송하는 가시광통신은 초고속, 초지연, 초연결등의 장점이 있어 6G 통신을 보완하기 위한 하나의 방안으로 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 가시광통신에서 RGB 혼합비율에 의하여 발생하는 성능 열화를 극복하기 위한 연구를 진행하였다. LED 조명을 이용한 가시광통신 시스템은 조명의 역할이 중요한 기능으로 통신을 위해 사용할 경우 RGB 혼합 비율에 따른 성능 차이는 필연적으로 발생한다. 특히, 일정 기준 이하의 빛의 강도를 갖는 경우 시스템 전체의 성능을 열화시키는 문제가 발생한다. 이 연구에서는 RGB 3개의 채널 중 혼합 비율의 차이로 발생하는 통신 시스템에서 일정 성능 이하가 발생할 때, 최고의 성능을 보이는 LED를 제외하고 나머지 2개의 신호를 STBC(Space-Time Block Coding)으로 전송하여 통신의 품질을 보장하는 하이브리드 시스템에 대해서 연구를 진행하였다. 제안 시스템의 성능을 검증하기 위하여 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 수행하였고, 제안 시스템의 성능이 기존 시스템과 비교하여 향상된 것을 볼 수 있다.

Nowadays, the glare towards the light-emitting diode (LED) lighting source has much attention due to its eco-friendly nature, reduced energy consumption, and low CO2 emission. LEDs can show versatile colors by changing the composition ratio of semiconductors. Phosphors re-emit light by absorbing light from LED, which is the key factor for emission. The endeavor to make replica of natural white light is increasing day by day. Industrially, blue LED chip crowned with a yellow phosphor coated lens gives low quality white light. Newly, many researchers are introducing modern approaches, adding red phosphor to the yellow phosphor to increase the quality of white light. Here, we synthesized structurally and chemically stable europium doped oxyapatite Ca8Gd2(PO4)6O2 nano-crystalline structures by a hydrothermal method. The ultrafine structures were formed due to the effect of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, which is confirmed by the transmission electron microscope images. The structural properties were analyzed using the X-ray diffraction patterns.

In vehicular safety service, every vehicle broadcasts Basic Safety Message (BSM) periodically to inform neighbor vehicles of host vehicle information. However, this can cause network congestion in a region that is crowded with vehicles resulting in a reduction in the message delivery ratio and an increase in the end-to-end delay. Therefore, it could destabilize the vehicular safety service system. In this paper, in order to improve the congestion control and to consider the hidden node problem, we propose a congestion control scheme using entire network congestion level estimation combined with transmission power control, data rate control and time slot based transmission control algorithm. The performance of this scheme is evaluated using a Qualnet network simulator. The simulation result shows that our scheme mitigates network congestion in heavy traffic cases and enhances network capacity in light traffic cases, so that packet error rate is perfectly within 10% and entire network load level is maintained within 60~70%. Thus, it can be concluded that the proposed congestion control scheme has quite good performance.
