The material that is both conductive in electricity and transparent to the visible-ray is called transparent conducting thin film. It has many field of application such as solar cell, liquid crystal display, transparent electrical heater, selective optical filter, and a optical electric device. In this study, indium tin oxide (ITO ; Sn-doped $In_2O_3$) thin films were deposited on $SiO_2$/soda-lime glass plates by a dc magnetron sputtering technique. The crystallinity and electrical properties of the films were investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM) scanning and 4-point probe. The optical transmittance of ITO films in the range of 300-1000nm were measured with a spectrophotometer. As a result, we obtained polycrystalline structured ITO films with (222), (400), and (440) peak. Transmittance of all the films were higher than 90% in the visible range.

The optical absorption and transmittance of cow' crystalline were measured by spectrophotometer in the 200~800nm wavelength regions. The optical absorptions of crystalline composed of a high absorption band in the UV-A, UV-B, and appeared the light transmittance edge in the 400nm wavelength region, and completely transmitted without the absorption in the high wavelength regions than 400nm. Also, the optical absorption and transmittance had no temperature dependence. The optical transmittance spectrum of crystalline concord with the thin film structure of $n_0/(0.5H)L(LH)^6(0.5H)/n_s$ and $n_0{\mid}(0.5LH0.5L)^kL/1.25{\mid}4.0$ of long-pass edge filter form. In the artificial crystalline and inter lens layout, long-pass edge filter layout can UV cut off.

The material that is both conductive in electricity and transparent to the visible ray is called transparent conducting thin film. It has many fields of application such as Solar Cell, Liquid Crystal display, Vidicon on T.V, transparent electrical heater, selective optical filter, and a optical electric device , etc. In the recent papers on several TCO( transparent conducting oxide ) material, the study is mainly focusing on ITO(indium tin oxide) because ITO shows good results on both optical and electrical properties. Nowaday, in the development of LCD(Liquid Crystal display), the low temperature process to reduce the production cost and to deposit ITO on polymer substrate (or low melting substrate) has been demanded. In this study, we prepared indium tin oxide(ITO) by a cylindrical DC magnetron sputtering with Indium-tin (9:1) alloy target instead of indium-tin oxide target. The resistivity of the film deposited in oxygen partial pressure of 5% and substrate temperature of 140.deg. C. is 1.6*10$\^$-4/.ohm..cm with 85% optical transmission in viaible ray.

Fiber-Fabry-Perot (FFP) tunable filters, the essential component of WDM transmission, were designed, fabricated and characterized. Multi-layered thin film mirrors that consists of an optical collimater's corss section as a substrate and TiO$_{2}$SiO$_{2}$ alternating multi-layered films as a filter wer designed by means of the transfer matrix method. Fabricated mirrors showed the high reflectivity over around 98% as expected. After fabricating the tuneable filters using PZT, we measured FSR, FWHM, finesse , crosstalk and insertion loss, confirming that the built devices satisfied the optical filter's specifications required in the SEDM transmission systems.

The thin film that is electrically conductive and optically transparent is called conductive transparent thin film. ITO(Indium-Tin Oxide) which is a kind of conductive transparent thin film has been widely used in solar cell, transparent electrical heater, selective optical filter, FDP(Flat Display Panel) such as LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), PDP(Plasma Display Panel) and so on. Especially in PDP, ITO films is used as a transparent electrode in order to maintain discharge and decrease consumption power through the improvement of cell structure. In this study, we prepared ITO by reactive r.f. sputtering with indium-tin(Sn wt 10%) alloy target instead of indium-tin oxide target. The ITO films deposited at low temperature $150^{\circ}C$ and 8% $O_2$ partial pressure showed about $3.6{\Omega}/{\square}$. At the end of firing, the resistance of ITO was decreased, the optical transparence was improved above 90%.

To improve the color gamut of a liquid-crystal display (LCD), we propose a bandpass filter that is added to the backlight unit to optimize the backlight spectrum. The bandpass filter can only transmit red, green and blue light in the visible range, while reflecting the unwanted light. We study the optical properties of the bandpass filter using the transfer-matrix method, and the effect of the bandpass filter on the color gamuts of LCDs is also investigated. When a bandpass filter based on a 5-layer configuration comprising low and high refractive indices ((HL)²H) is used in phosphor-converted white-light-emitting diode (pc-WLED), K₂SiF₆:Mn⁴⁺ (KSF-LED), and quantum-dot (QD) backlights, the color gamuts of the LCDs improve from 72% to 95.3% of NTSC, from 92% to 106.7% of NTSC, and from 104.3% to 112.2% of NTSC respectively. When the incident angle of light increases to 30°, the color gamuts of LCDs with pc-WLED and KSF-LED backlights decrease by 2.9% and 1% respectively. For the QD backlight, the color gamut almost does not change. When the (HL)²H structure is coated on the diffusion film, the color gamut can be improved to 92.6% of NTSC (pc-WLED), 105.6% of NTSC (KSF-LED), and 111.9% of NTSC (QD). The diffusion film has no obvious effect on the color gamut. The results have an important potential application in wide-color-gamut LCDs.

We describe the optimal design and the fabrication of a 2$\times$2 port optical device based on the thin film filter (TFF), and also propose a 4-channel OADM module using these devices. The optical performance of the proposed OADM module is evaluated theoretically and experimentally, and is compared to that of typical OADM modules using 1$\times$2 port optical devices for 4, 8, 16 and 32 drop channels in optical transmission systems. Since the 2$\times$2 port optical device accomplishes the function of wavelength multiplexing and demultiplexing simultaneously in the proposed OADM module, the insertion loss of through channels can be improved by 1.2 dB compare to that of typical OADM modules using 1$\times$2 port optical devices. In addition, both the size and the price of the module can be reduced to 40~50%.

Plastic and creep deformations of a solder joint on thermal cycle play an important role in the reliability of optical telecommunication components. Solder joint strain is increased with the thermal cycle time and it causes mis-alignments and power loss in the optical component. Furthermore, the component can be failed since the deformation exceed the limitation of the fatigue life. We applied the finite element analysis method to solve the problem of the solder joint reliability on thermal cycle. Plastic and creep deformations are calculated by the finite element method. And, the fatigue lire is predicted by using creep-fatigue prediction models with calculated strains. The temperature conditon of the analysis was referred from the Telcordia reliability schedule (-40 to 75). Also, the three ramp renditions, 1/min, 10/min and 50/min, and dwelling time were considered to analyze the differences of results.

This paper represents 50 ㎓ narrow band pass filters for fiber optical communication fabricated by dual ion beam sputtering method. We have analyzed the characteristics of the TA$_2$ $O_{5}$ and $SiO_2$ single layers in order to optimize the process conditions for the 50 ㎓ narrow band pass filters, and controlled the film thickness uniformity to less than 0.1 nm deviation by dual peak spike filter pre-deposition. We designed and fabricated 50 ㎓ narrow band pass filters that consist of 216 layers including 4 cavities based on quarter wave optical thickness. Class substrates with high thermal expansion coefficients were used to reduce the film stress. Anti-reflection coating at the rear side of the substrate was also needed to reduce the optical thickness errors of the Optical Monitoring System caused by multiple beam interference between the front side and the rear side of substrate. The optical characteristics of this 50 ㎓ narrow band pass filters are insertion loss of 0.40 ㏈, pass band ripple of 0.20 ㏈, and pass bandwidth at -0.5 ㏈ of 0.20 nm. and isolation bandwidth at -25 ㏈ of 0.6 nm, which satisfy specifications of dense WDM system in fiber optical communications.tions.
