We investigate theoretically the tolerance of 40 Gbps phase-modulated (PM) duobinary signals using a vestigial sideband (VSB) filter on impairments which occurred in dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) systems, compared to the conventional duobinary signals. Our simulation results show that PM duobinary signals can't have the gain on the spectral efficiency achieved by utilizing the VSB filtering technique. In order to increase the spectral efficiency, they indispensably require to be transmitted at the optimum bandwidth of multiplexer (MUX) and demultiplexer (DEMUX) since they are susceptible to inter-channel crosstalk. It is also shown that the PM duobinary modulation format has a large tolerance on self-phase modulation (SPM) and cross-phase modulation (XPM) under the condition which MUX and DEMUX have been tuned at an optimum bandwidth; it has 1.2 dB power penalty at the fiber launching power (FLP) of 15 dBm and the channel spacing of 50 GHz.

Recently, the on-chip autofocus (AF) function has become essential to the CMOS image sensor. An auto-focus usually operates using phase detection of the photocurrent difference from a pair of AF pixels that have focused or defocused. However, the phase-detection method requires a pair of AF pixels for comparison of readout. Therefore, the pixel variation may reduce AF performance. In this paper, we propose a color-selective AF pixel with a plasmonic nanostructure in a 0.9 μ㎡ pixel. The suggested AF pixel requires one pixel for AF function. The plasmonic nanostructure uses metal-insulator-metal (MIM) stack arrays instead of a color filter (CF). The color filters are formed at the subwavelength, and they transmit the specific wavelength of light according to the stack period and incident angles. For the optical analysis of the pixel, a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation was conducted. The analysis showed that the MIM stack arrays in the pixels perform as an AF pixel. As the primary metric of AF performance, the resulting AF contrasts are 1.8 for the red pixels, 1.6 for green, and 1.5 blue. Based on the simulation results, we confirmed the autofocusing performance of the MIM stack arrays.

폴리스티렌 콜로이드 에멀젼 용액에서 물이 증발하게 되면 순간적으로 폴리스티렌 콜로이드 입자들이 물 표면으로 튀어나오게 되며 이러한 입자들 간의 모세관력에 의해 자기조립이 일어나게 되는데, 폴리스티렌 입자의 경우 유효밀도가 물 보다 작아 물 표면 위에 3차원 광결정을 형성하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 현상을 젖음성이 있는 제한된 공간을 가지는 구조를 가지는 유리기판 위에서 일어나도록 함으로써, 3차원의 폴리스티렌 콜로이드 결정이 고속으로 생성되고 기판위로 옮겨질 수 있도록 고안하였다. 고속으로 제작된 폴리스티렌 콜로이드 광결정은 폴리스티렌 입자의 크기 및 광결정 필름의 입사각을 조절하여 가시광 전체 영역의 빛을 선택적으로 반사하는 광필터로 적용해 보았다.

Video from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is influenced by natural environments due to the light-weight UAV, specifically by winds. Thus UAV's shaking movements make the video shaking. Objective of this paper is making a stabilized video by removing shakiness of video acquired by UAV. Stabilizer estimates camera's motion from calculation of optical flow between two successive frames. Estimated camera's movements have intended movements as well as unintended movements of shaking. Unintended movements are eliminated by smoothing process. Experimental results showed that our proposed method performs almost as good as the other off-line based stabilizer. However estimation of camera's movements, i.e., calculation of optical flow, becomes a bottleneck to the real-time stabilization. To solve this problem, we make parallel stabilizer making average 30 frames per second of stabilized video. Our proposed method can be used for the video acquired by UAV and also for the shaking video from non-professional users. The proposed method can also be used in any other fields which require object tracking, or accurate image analysis/representation.

광대역 파장 가변 레이저를 구현하기 위하여, 폴리머 결합 링 반사기를 반사형 반도체 광증폭기와 하이브리드 집적하여 광대역 파장 가변 레이저를 구현하였다. 도파로 폭과 높이의 제작 오차로 인하여 방향성 결합기의 결합 비 조합이 설계 값에서 다소 벗어나더라도 단일 피크 조건이 유지되도록 설계함으로써, 제작 수율을 높이도록 하였다. 구현한 파장 가변 레이저는 파장 가변 범위가 35 nm, 부모드 억제 비가 30 dB 이상 보임을 확인하였다.

Photonic crystals containing rugate structure result in a mirror with high reflectivity in a specific narrow spectral region and are prepared by applying a computer-generated pseudo-sinusoidal current waveform. Well defined 1-dimentional photonic polymer replicas showing a reflectivity at 534 nm have been successfully obtained by the removal of rugate porous silicon (PSi) template from the polystyrene composite film. XRD measurement indicates that the oxidized rugate PSi has been completely removed from the composite films. Polymer replicas exhibit a sharp resonance in the reflectivity spectrum. Optical characteristics of photonic polymer replicas indicate that the surface of polymer film has a negative structure of rugate PSi. These replicas are stable in aqueous solutions for several days without any degradation. The methods have been provided for the construction of photonic structures with polymers.

Background: Time-resolved optically stimulated luminescence (TR-OSL) is a very useful method for calculating the lifetimes of crystalline quartz and feldspar. Materials and Methods: A compact TR-OSL system was developed, comprising a heater assembly manufactured using Kanthal wire, 2 powerful blue light-emitting diodes (LED, LXHL-PB02) for optical stimulation equipped with VIS liquid light guides, and a photomultiplier tube combined with an optical filter for luminescence detection. A pulse generated from the data acquisition board (NI PCI 6250) was used to initiate on/off signals in LED and TR-OSL measurements. Results and Discussion: The TR-OSL and background signals measured using this TR-OSL system using quartz samples were very similar to those reported in a previous study. Additionally, the lifetimes of the build-up and TR-OSL signals were calculated as $27.4{\pm}2.2{\mu}s$ and $30.3{\pm}0.6{\mu}s$, respectively, in good agreement with the findings of a previous study. Conclusion: It was concluded that the developed TR-OSL system was very reliable for TR-OSL signal measurements and lifetime calculations.

마하젠더 광세기 변조기를 이용해 10GHz의 능동적 고조모드록킹된 어븀첨가 광섬유 레이저의 출력특성을 측정하여, 이를 모델로 레이저 공진기를 이론적으로 해석하였다. 능동형으로 모드록킹된 레이저에서의 비선형 슈뢰딩거 방정식을 통해 공진기에서 나타나는 비선형 효과인 자기위상변조(Self Phase Modulation)와 군속도 분산(Group Velocity Dispersion)을 고려하여 레이저의 각각의 구성부붐들이 레이저 펄스에 미치는 영향을 계산하여 이론적으로 해석하였다. 또한 그 해석을 바탕으로 chi게 파라메터를 줄이면서 펄스폭을 최소화하는 방향으로 펄스의 세기와 필터의 대역폭을 변화시켜가면서 기존의 것에 비해 chirp 파라메터는 2배, 펄스폭은 4배 줄일 수 있는 조건을 찾아 향상된 특성의 레이저 공진기를 설계하였다.

Stamper surface temperature is very critical in replicating the high density optical disc substrates using injection molding as the pit or land/groove patterns on the optical disc substrate have decreased due to the rapid increase of areal density. During the filling stage, the polymer melt in the vicinity of the stamper surfaces rapidly solidifies and the solidified layer generated during polymer filling greatly deteriorates transcribability and fluidity of polymer melt. To improve transcribability and fluidity of polymer melt, stamper surface temperature should be controlled such that the growth of the solidified layer is delayed during the filling stage. In this study, the effect of heating on replication process was simulated numerically. Then, an injection mold equipped with instant active heating system was designed and constructed to raise the stamper surface temperature over the glass transition temperature during filling stage of the injection molding. Also, the closed loop controller using the Kalman filter and the linear quadratic Gaussian regulator was designed. As a result. the stamper surface temperature was controlled according to the desired reference stamper surface temperature.
