  • As one of the core technologies in the field of the optical communication with WDM, the optical cross connector with movements of micro mirrors is getting important day by day. The packaging structure of 2-dimensional NxN MOEMS switch should be determined by the harmonization of the following items such as the geometrical compatability between optical and structural components, the characteristics of optical input and output parts with device, and the electrical performance for the operation of micro mirrors. Therefore, the packaging process could be defined as the integrated technology completed by the optical and electrical science and the material science for the understanding of its thermo-mechanical properties with packaging materials. In the present study, the harmonization between the optical and structural components as well as the optical characteristics of lens system used will be investigated.

  • The transparent conductive oxide(TCO) has been used in necessity as front electrode for increasing efficiency of LED. In our paper, aluminium-doped zinc oxide films(AZO), which has transparent conducting were prepared with RF magnetron sputtering system on glass substrate(corning 1737) and annealed at $400^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr in vacuum ambient and $600^{\circ}C$ for 2hr with $O_2$ ambient respectively. The smooth AZO films were etched in diluted HCL(0.5 %) to examine the surface properties, which in ambient post-annealing process. We confirmed that the electric, structural and optical properties of textured AZO thin films, which implemented using the methods of XRD, FWHM, AFM and Hall measurement. The properties of textured AZO thin films especially depended on the ambient post-annealing process. We presumed that the change of transmittances as R G B LED and the ambient post-annealing process will be increasing the efficiency of LED.

  • The jet production efficiency of radio galaxies can be quantified by comparison of their kinetic jet powers $P_{jet}$ and Bondi accretion powers $P_B$. These two parameters are known to be related linearly, with the jet power resulting from the Bondi power by multiplication with an efficiency factor of order 1%. Using a recently published (Nemmen & Tchekhovskoy 2014) high-quality sample of 27 radio galaxies, I construct a $P_B$ - $P_{jet}$ diagram that includes information on optical AGN types as far as available. This diagram indicates that the jet production efficiency is a function of AGN type: Seyfert 2 galaxies seem to be systematically (with a false alarm probability of $4.3{\times}10^{-4}$) less efficient, by about one order of magnitude, in powering jets than Seyfert 1 galaxies, LINERs, or the remaining radio galaxies. This suggests an evolutionary sequence from Sy 2s to Sy 1s and LINERs, controlled by an interplay of jets on the one hand and dust and gas in galactic nuclei on the other hand. When taking this effect into account, the $P_B$ - $P_{jet}$ relation is probably much tighter intrinsically than currently assumed.

  • Various studies with regard to increasing the optical efficiency of plasmonic color filters have previously been conducted, such as mixing materials or applying diverse pattern shapes. Fundamentally, it is important to maximize the photonic crystal effect by finding the optimum periods of lattice as well as calculating the most efficient transmission area. In this study, we propose a technical method for optimizing the plasmonic color filters that have a high color gamut and luminance by analyzing the light spectrums based on the 1931 color coordinate system. Moreover, we suggest a calculation method in order to define the individual color purity of red and green and blue filters. Consequently, efficiency values are obtained independently from each color filter by evaluating the color purity and the luminance. The final result obtained from simulation are 27.6% of relative luminance and 25.3% of color gamut. The proposed optimization method is applicable to all plasmonic color filters having photonic crystal arrays.

  • The new textured surface epitaxial base(TSEB) cell as a high efficiency Si solar cell was fabricated and its eletro-optical characteristics were investigated. The fabricated device showed the open circuit voltage of 0.62 V, the short circuit current of 40 mA, the fill factor of 0.7, and the efficiency of 16% under the incident light of AM-1 100 mW/$cm^2$. The TSEB cell proposed in this paper has the structural superiority in the fabrication of high efficiency solar cell due to the carrier drift transport in the optical absorption region and the formation of back surface field by $P^-/P^+$ epitaxial base, and the low emitter series resistance by insertion of $n^+$ buried contact.

  • In order to improve the diffraction efficiency of the photopolymer, we prepared a $TiO_2$ added photopolymer and investigated the optical properties. Prepared photopolymer films are based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a polymer binder, acryl amide (AA) as a photo-polymerizable monomer, triethanolamine (TEOA) as an initiator, and eosin Y as a sensitizer at 532 nm. To prepare the photopolymer films with the uniform thickness, the constant amount (2.5 ml) of the photopolymer solution was dropped on the glass and spread using a spin coater. Then films were dried for 72 hrs in a darkroom ($20^{\circ}C$, 40% RH) prior to the optical measurement. Then, the diffraction efficiencies of both the photopolymer films containing $TiO_2$ and non-contained films were measured with the various incident angles ($20{\sim}70^{\circ}$). Therefore, $TiO_2$ added photopolymer showed 5% higher diffraction efficiency than neat photopolymer without $TiO_2$ addition. The addition of $TiO_2$ into the photopolymer showed the high diffraction efficiency (over 70%) at broad range ($20{\sim}70^{\circ}C$) of the incident angle.

  • Studies on the optical properties related to the built-in internal field and the carrier localization present in various GaN-based structures are essential not only for the physical interest but in designing practical visible and ultraviolet light emitting device applications with better performance and quantum efficiency. We report on the optical characteristics of various dimensional GaN-based structures such as (i) GaN self-assembled quantum dots grown in Stranski-Krastanov mode (OD), vertically-aligned GaN nanorods (1D), graded-In-content InGaN quantum wells (2D), laterally-overgrown GaN pyramids (3D), and GaN epilayers grown on various substrates. We used a wide variety of optical techniques, such as photoluminescence (PL), PL excitation, micro-PL, cathodoluminescence, optically-pumped stimulated emission, and time-resolved PL spectroscopy. An overview and comparison of the optical characteristics of the above GaN-based structures will be given.

  • Recently, Light Emitting Diode (LED) has many advantages in comparison with conventional light sources; low power consumption, long lifetime, and less environmental pollution. Therefore, the use of LED is increasing rapidly. In general, however, spherical lens is used in LED-lighting which cause many problems induces by optical aberration of spherical lens; low illumination, yellow belt, unpleasant feeling in human eye. As a solution of these problem, aspherical lens can be employed. This study reported the improvement of LED-lighting performance by adopting aspherical lens. From the commercial program, $LightTools^{TM}$, the optical problem were ensured. And then, to improve these problem, optimum aspheric form was designed using Code $V^{TM}$.

  • The detailed studies regarding to the front and rear panel geometries and optical properties of composed layers were needed to improve the luminance and efficiency. 3-dimensional optical code can be used to analyze the variation of geometries and the changing of optical properties. The visible light distributions and illuminance results were simulated depending on the bus electrode position, ITO geometries and optical properties of dielectric layer. As the ITO area was decreased and the bus electrode was located at the outer part of cell, the illumination was increased. And we could find quantification which is related between dielectric layer and visible light distribution of PDP cell.
