This study determined the characteristics of LED illumination and photosynthetically active radiation flux density (PPFD) for LED lighting design in an indoor plant factory. This was done based on the light wavelength and PPFD intensity required for plant growth. It has been found that the wavelength and intensity are decreased according to the measuring distance, and green light has an important role in illumination characteristics, while blue light has an important role in the PPFD characteristics. Considering only the photosynthetic properties of plants, the effective order of photosynthesis was blue>red>white>green. When the measurement distance was 30 [cm], it was found that reduction levels of 60 [cm], 90 [cm], and 120 [cm] decreased to about 36 [%], 18 [%], and 10 [%], respectively. As a result of the characteristics of mixed light (red:blue=2:1, 3:1, 4:1) and the measurement distance, when the measured value at 30 [cm] is 100%, the measured value at 120 [cm] is 10-11 [%]. From the obtained results, an optimal structure was proposed for maximizing the light efficiency of an indoor greenhouse for future research.

Plasmon subwavelength nanostructures enable the structurally modulated color due to the resonance conditions for the specific wavelength range of light with the nanoscale hole arrays on a metal layer. While the unique properties offered from a single layer of metal may open up the potential applications of integrated devices to displays and sensors, fabrication requirements in nanoscale, typically on the order of or smaller than the wavelength of light in a corresponding medium can limit the cost-effective implementation of the plasmonic nanostructures. Simpler nanoscale replication technologies based on the soft lithography or roll-to-roll nanoimprinting can introduce economically feasible manufacturing process for these devices. Such replication requires an optimal design of a master template to produce a stamp that can be applied for a roll-to-roll nanoimprinting. In this paper, a master mold with subwavelength nanostructures is fabricated and optimized using focused ion beam for the applications to nanoimprinting process. Au thin film layer is deposited by sputtering on a glass that serves as a dielectric substrate. Focused ion beam milling (FIB, JEOL JIB-4601F) is used to fabricate surface plasmon subwavelength nanostructures made of periodic hole arrays. The light spectrum of the fabricated nanostructures is characterized by using UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer (Agilent, Cary 5000) and the surface morphology is measured by using atomic force microscope (AFM, Park System XE-100) and scanning electron microscope (SEM, JEOL JSM-7100F). Relationship between the parameters of the hole arrays and the corresponding spectral characteristics and their potential applications are also discussed.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive FEC scheme in visible light communication using white LED. To this end, we investigate the red, green and blue mixing ratio of white LED in order to achieve the white color, and the mixing ratio of those wavelength can be defined as 4 types. Based on those properties, the FEC technique is applied to the wavelength band with the lowest mixing ratio according to mixing ratio types. At that point, we use a LDPC channel coding scheme as the FEC technique. Therefore, the proposed system can mitigate the reduction of data rate and improve total BER performance.

In recent years, a miniature spectrometer has been extensively developed due to the marriage of fiber optics and semiconductor detector array. This type of miniature spectrometer has advantages of low price and robustness due to the capability of mass production and no moving parts are required such as lenses, mirrors and scanning monochromator. These systems are ideal for use in teaching labs, process monitoring and field analyses. A portable near infrared (NIR) system has been developed for qualitative and quantitative analysis. This system includes a tungsten halogen lamp for light source, a fiber optics connected a light source, and a sample module to the microspectrometer, The size of spectrometer can be as small as 2.5 cm x 1.5 cm x 0.1 cm. Wavelength ranges can be chosen as 360-800 nm, 800-1100 nm and 1100-1900 nm depending on the type of detector. The software consists of various tools for multivariate analysis and pattern recognition techniques. To evaluate the system, long and short-term stability, wavelength accuracy, and stray light have been investigated and compared with conventional scanning type NIR spectrometer. This developed system can be sufficiently used for quantitative and qualitative analysis for various samples such as agricultural product, herbal medicine, food, petroleum, and pharmaceuticals, etc.

Alkoxy-substituted poly(spirobifluorene)s and their copolymers with a triphenylamine derivative have been synthesized by Ni(0)-mediated polymerization. The polymers were well soluble in common organic solvents. Pure blue-light emissions without the long wavelength emission of poly(fluorene)s have been observed in the fluorescence spectra of polymer thin films. The light emitting diodes with a device configuration of ITO/PEDT:PSS(30 nm)/polymer(60 nm)/LiF(1 nm)/Al(100 nm) have been fabricated. The electroluminescence spectra showed the blue emissions without the long wavelength emission as observed in the fluorescence spectra. The relatively poor electroluminescence quantum yield of the homopolymer (0.017% @ 20 $mA/cm^{2}$) with color coordinates of (0.16, 0.07) has been improved by the introduction of triphenylamine moiety, and the copolymer with derivative exhibited an electroluminescence quantum yield of 0.15 % at 20 $mA/cm^{2}$ with color coordinates of (0.16, 0.08). Moreover, the introduction of polar side chains to the spirobifluorene moiety enhanced the device performance and led to the quantum yields of 0.6 to 0.7 % at 20 $mA/cm^{2}$, although there was some expense of color purities.

In this paper, we fabricated the polymer waveguide type surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor using a white light source and optical spectrum analyzer (OSA). Fabricated sensor uses the principle of phase matching between evanescent wave and surface plasmon wave. According to the measuring result, the shift of resonance wavelength conducts the change of the refractive index. The proposed SPR sensor is expected to apply the integrated multichannel SPR sensor and the realtime monitoring system.

In this paper, we proposed the design and calibration method for the near infrared Acousto-Optic Tunable Filter (AOTF). The theory and design principles of AOTF for the visible light are well known since I.C.Chang has developed the parallel tangent condition for the non-collinear AOTF. Deflection angle, frequency-wavelength relation, spectral resolution, etc. were calculated based on the theory of AOTF. From this result, important parameters - incident and acoustic angle - to fabricate AOTF were decided. We measured the spectral resolution and the relation between electrical driving frequency and the Optical wavelength of diffracted light to calibrate the near infrared AOTF. About 40 ∼ 80 MHz electrical frequency was required to get 1200 ∼ 2200 nm near infrared light. Spectral resolution was less than 10 nm in the near infrared region.

We observed the transiting exoplanet, TrES-2b, with 1.5m telescope at Maidanak Observatory in Uzbekistan. We observed TrES-2 system for six nights, which contained two orbital periods of the planet. Therefore, we obtained the entire light curve of TrES-2b, which covered not only the whole primary transit containing both ingress and egress part, but also non-transit region. We used both R and Y band filters. Especially, Y filter is used first for transit observation and covers relatively longer wavelength ($1.02{\mu}m$ of center wavelength), to provide the light curve less affected by limb darkening. By fitting best model light curve for the obtained one, we determined these observables, transit depth, transit length, and planet's orbital period, which led to the determination of five physical parameters, stellar radius R*, stellar mass M*, inclination i, semi-major axis a, and planetary radius Rp. We will discuss of these results.

Yellow sticky traps have been commonly used for monitoring tobacco whitefly populations in open-fields, as well as in greenhouses. However, the attractiveness depends on various factors such as the reflected intensity (brightness) and hues of yellow color (wavelength) of the trap surface, which is often influenced by environmental conditions and may sometimes affect tobacco whitefly capture. Therefore, the use of light-emitting traps can be a significant complementary tool to strengthen the attractiveness and selectivity of these traps. This research was carried out in tomato greenhouses to evaluate the light-emitting trap as potential attractants for Bemisia tabaci adults. The results showed that B. tabaci adults on average preferred (p>0.05) traps in yellow lights (590 nm) ($168{\pm}7.6adults/trap$) compared to traps in white lights ($106{\pm}4.6adults/trap$) and traps without lights ($60{\pm}4.8adults/trap$). The yellow light trap(590 nm) showed the most attractive to B. tabaci adults, followed by a little lower attraction to the white light trap(450-625 nm), whereas the control (no light trap) was little attractive to B. tabaci adults. These results suggested that yellow and white light traps could have a promising use in greenhouses for the identification, monitoring, and pest control tools of tobacco whiteflies.

Near-infrared spectroscopy is now being used in clinical diagnosis as a non-invasive monitor of tissue oxygenation state. However, due to lack of the optical pathlength information within tissues, it is still difficult to quantitate the hemoglobin concentration with present CW techniques. Time-resolved spectroscopy (TRS), which measures temporal profiles of emerging light from tissues, enables to estimate the pathlength distribution within tissues by converting time to distance. Consequently, quantitative measurement of tissue oxygenation is possible by analyzing the data with optical diffusion equation 1) or our Microscopic Beer-Lambert law2). Time-Resolved Spectroscopy System : TRS-1O3) Our TRS-10 system consists of a three-wavelength (759, 797, 833 nm) PLP as pulsed light source, a high speed PMT with high sensitivity and three signal-processing circuits for time-resolved measurement (CFD/TAC, A/D converter and histogram memory). Optical pulse train consisting of 759, 797 and 833nm is generated by PLP at 5㎒ repetition rate and irradiated a sample through a single optical fiber. The diffuse-reflected light from the sample is collected by a bundle fiber and then detected by the PMT for single photon measurement. After being amplified by a following fast amplifier, the electrical signals for each wavelength are picked out by CFD/TAC module. Then, a signal processing circuit integrated the TRS data for each wavelength individually. The simultaneous TRS measurement for three wavelengths achieved without any optical or mechanical switch. Experiment and Results Input and detection fibers of TRS-10 were attached at the human forehead with a fiber separation of 3cm. TRS measurements were continuously performed for about 20 minutes including 2 minutes hyper ventilation. It was observed that the total hemoglobin concentration was decreasing during the hyper ventilation and recovered until 2 minutes after hyper ventilation. On the other hand, the deoxy-hemoglobin concentration began to increase after hyper ventilation and had its peak at around 2 minute later, showing 502 drop from 75% to 60% due to inhibition of breathing by performing hyper ventilation. The results showed that this system might be able to quantitate the concentrations of oxy- and deoxy-hemoglobin in the human brain.
