  • In recent years there have been many studies of InGaN/GaN based light emitting diodes (LEDs) in order to progress the performance of luminescence. Many previous literatures showed the performance of LEDs by changing the LED structures and substrates. However, the studies carried out by the researchers so far were very complicated and sometimes difficult to apply in practice. Therefore, we propose one simple method of changing the thickness and the numbers of multiple quantum wells (MQWs) in order to optimize their effects. In our research, we investigated electrical and optical properties by changing the well thickness and the number of quantum well (QW) pair in LED structures by growing the structure -inch Si (111) wafer. We defined the samples from LED_1 to LED_3 according to MQW structure. Samples LED_1, LED_2 and LED_3 consist of 5-pair InGaN/GaN (3.5 nm/ 4.5 nm), 5-pair InGaN/GaN (3 nm/4.5 nm) and 7-pair InGaN/GaN (3.5 nm/4.5 nm), respectively. We characterized electrical and optical properties by using electroluminescence (EL) measurement. Also, Efficiency droop was analyzed by calculating external quantum efficiency (EQE) with varying injection current. The EL spectra of three samples show different emission wavelength peaks, FWHM and the blueshift of wavelength caused by screening the internal electric field because of the effect of different MQW structure. The results of optical properties show that the LED_2 sample reduce the internal electric field in QW than LED_1 from EL spectra. the increase in the number of QW pairs reduces the strain and increase the In composition in MQW. And, the points of efficiency droop's peak show different trend from LED_1 to LED_3. It is related with the carrier density in active region. Thus, from the results of experiments, we are able to achieve high performance LEDs and a reduction of efficiency droop and emission wavelength blueshift by optimizing MQWs structure.

  • The electrochromic properties of vacuum deposited V$_2$O$_{5}$ thin films as a function of crystallinity and film thickness have been systematically investigated. The as-deposited films have slightly yellow appearance. V$_2$O$_{5}$ films deposited at higher substrate temperature(>14$0^{\circ}C$) are found to be crystalline while those deposited at low substrate temperature are amorphous. The optical modulation on lithium ion injection indicates that V$_2$O$_{5}$ films exhibit anodic coloration in the 300~500 nm wavelength range and cathodic coloration in the 500~1100nm wavelength range independent of crystallinity and film thickness. The optical band gap energy of crystalline and amorphous Li$_{x}$ VV$_2$O$_{5}$ films shifts to higher energies by 0.17 eV and 0.75 eV, respectively, with increasing lithium ion injection up to x=0.6. The coloration efficiency of amorphous Li$_{x}$ V$_2$O$_{5}$ exhibits very little dependence on film thickness and lithium ion injection amounts in the near-infrared while it increases significantly with increasing film thickness and decreasing lithium ion injection amounts in the blue and near-UV due to the shift in absorption edge below around 500nm. However, the coloration efficiency of crystalline Li$_{x}$ V$_2$O$_{5}$is relatively independent of film thickness and lithium ion injection in the 300~1100 nm wavelength range.

  • A general process of electronic assembly is composed of a series of geometric alignments and bonding/screwing processes. After assembly, the function is tested in a following process of inspection. However, assembly of micro-optic devices requires both processes to be performed in equipment. Coarse geometric alignment is made by using vision and optical function is improved by the following fine motion based on feedback of tunable laser interferometer. The general system is composed of a precision robot system for 3D assembly, a 3D vision guided system for geometric alignment and an optical feedback system with a tunable laser. In this study, we propose a new fast alignment algorithm of micro-optic devices for both of visual and optical alignments. The main goal is to find a fastest alignment process and algorithms with state-of-the-art technology. We propose a new approach with an optimal sequence of processes, a visual alignment algorithm and a search algorithm for an optimal optical alignment. A system is designed to show the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method.

  • Light emitting diode(LED) has many advantages including lower energy consumption and longer lifetime and eco-friendly in comparison with traditional light sources. Spheric plastic lens generally used in LED lighting occurs aberration and ghost image which give displeasure and deteriorate vision quality in human eyes. Using the optical program (LightTools$^{TM}$, CodeV$^{TM}$), we were confirm the aberration and ghost image in optical simulation and employed aspheric lens form in the lens design to improve these problems. From the comparison of the simulation results between the aspheric lens and the spheric lens, we were ascertain to be improved both aberration and Ghost image.

  • An electro-optical camera system consists of many subsystems such as the optics, the detector, and the electronics and so on. They may create variations in the processed image that were not present original scene. The performance analysis of the electro-optical camera system is a mathematical construct that provides an optimum design through appropriate trade off analysis. The SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio) is one of the most important performance for the electro-optical camera system. The SNR analysis shown in this paper is performed based on the practical high resolution satellite camera design. For the purpose of the practical camera design, the analysis assumes that the defined radiance, which is calculated for the Korean peninsula, reached directly to the telescope entrance. In addition, the actual operation concept such as integration time and the normal operation altitude is assumed. This paper compares the SNR analysis results according to the various camera characteristics such as the optics, the detector, and the camera electronics. In detail, the optical characteristics can be split into the focal length, F#, transmittance, and so on. And the system responsivity, the quantum efficiency, the TDI stages, the quantization noise and the analogue noise can be used for the detector and the camera electronics characteristics. Finally this paper suggests the optimum design to apply the practical electro-optical system.

  • Monolithic NOR and INVERTER active optical logic devices inte- grated with surface-emitting microlasers, heterojunction photo- transistors(HPT) in parallel and resistors in series are characterized. The differential quantum efficiency of the typical AlGaAs superlattice microlaser integrated in the active optical logic devices is 15%. Current gain of the HPT is 57, when emitter-collector voltage and input optical power are 4 V and $50{\mu}W$, respectively. $57{\mu}W$ of output power from the active optical logic device decreases to zero when $47{\mu}W$ of input optical power is incident on the HPT part of the active logic device.

  • This letter presents a polymer $1{\times}2$ thermo-optic totalinternal-reflection digital optical switch (TIR-DOS) with an index contrast of 1.5%-${\delta}$ operating at low power consumption. The structure of our $1{\times}2$ TIR-DOS was created by adding a reflection port to that of a conventional multimode filtering variable optical attenuator. To improve the total-internalr-eflection efficiency, a heater offset was applied to the crossing region of multimode waveguides of the TIR-DOS. The fabricated $1{\times}2$ TIR-DOS shows a low electrical power consumption of 18 mW for an on-off ratio of 35 dB.

  • Wave propagation in gyrotropic or anisotropic medium is analyzed in terms of the eigenmodes of the medium, which are admixture of TE and TM waves. The field composition and the phase velocity of the modes are also determined. The results of the analysis are applied to thin film optical waveguide using such medium as substrate and/or film. Based on the characteristic equations for phase constants of the waveguide, the condition for TE-TM mode convection is derived, and wave propagation in the guide is represented in the form of Jones matrix, which allows a new interpretation in the conversion efficiency of the thin-film optical waveguides.
