강유전체 박막과 마이크로 가공기술을 이용하여 초전형 적외선 센서를 제작하였다. 초전형 적외선 센서는 $Pb_{l-x}La_{x}Ti_{1-x/4}O_{3}$ (x=0.05) (PLT) 강유전체 박막 커패시터를 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링 방식으로 백감 전극이 증착된 MgO 기판상에 결정 성장시킨 구조를 갖고 있다. 스퍼터링된 PLT 박막은 높은 c-축 결정 구조를 가지므로 센서로 사용하기 위한 분극 처리 과정이 필요 없다. 이는 적외선 이미지 센서를 구현함에 있어서 수율 향상에 필수적인 요소이다. 또한 마이크로 가공 기술을 사용하여 센서의 열용량을 극소화함으로서 센서의 효율을 최대화하였다. 제작된 센서의 상부에 폴리이미드를 코팅하고 MgO 기판을 선택적으로 식각하여 코팅된 폴리이미드와 MgO가 강유전체 박막 커패시터를 지지하고 있는 구조를 구현하였다. 이렇게 제작된 센서의 감도는 상온에서 $8.5{\times}10^{8}cm{\cdot}\sqrt{Hz}/W$로 측정되었으며 이는 마이크로 가공 기술을 사용하지 않은 경우보다 약 100 배의 감도 향상을 가져왔다. 2차원 배열 구조를 갖는 센서를 가지고 인체의 유 무 뿐만 아니라 위치까지 감별할 수 있는 센싱 시스템을 구현하였다.

RoA is an important figure of merits for estimating the performance of p-n junction infrared detectors. This paper presents the tunneling current contribution to RoA of $Hg_{1-x}Cd_{x}$Te n$^{+}$-p juction photodiodes. Then, a diffusion model, a thermal generation-recombination model, an indirect tunneling model via trap, and a band-to-band direct tunneling model are considered to calculate RoA. Using these models, RoA depending on temperature, doping concentration, and mole fraction is calculated. Also from these results, under various operating conditions the dominant dark current mechanisms cna be understood.

The relation between the statistics of photons in input light on a detector and the measured photocounts by the detector is discussed. The averages and variances of the photocounts are compared with the averages and variances of input photons on practical detectors having quantum efficiencies of $\mu$. This comparison was made for three kinds of inputs which include Fock state light, coherent light, and thermal light. The calculations were carried out based on the combined operator model for a detector having less-than-unit quantum efficiency.

The input equivalent noise charge (ENC) of hydrogenated amorphous silicon radiation detector diodes was measured and analyzed. The noise sources of amorphous silicon diodes were analyzed into three sources; shot noise, flicker noise and thermal noise from the contact resistance. By comparing the measured ENC with the calculated signal charge in uniform generation case, the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) for the sample diodes is estimated as a function of the detector bias and the shaping time of Gaussian pulse shaper. The maximum S/N occurred at the bias level just above the full depletion voltage for shaping time of 2∼3 ${\mu}$sec. The developed method is useful in optimum design or amorphous silicon p-i-n diodes for charged particulate radiation spectroscopy.

A PIN photodiode having a low dark current of 1.35 nA and a high external quantum efficiency of 95.3% fabricated for a passive optical network receiver. As the current was increased under a high voltage of 38 V and a temperature of $190^{\circ}C$, it was observed that there is a threshold current at 11 mA which induces a junction failure. Experimental data suggest that the junction failure occurs due to the crystal breaking at the end facet as a result of thermal heat or energetic carriers. This threshold behavior of junction failure is a valuable observation for the safe treatment of photodiodes. As long as the current is limited below the threshold currents, we have not observed failure events of our photodiodes.

Miniature Joule-Thomson cryocoolers have been widely used for rapid cooling of infrared detectors, probes of cryosurgery, thermal cameras, missile homing head and guidance system, due to their special features of simple configuration, compact structure and rapid cool-down characteristics. The cool-down time, the temperature at the cold end, the running time and the gas consumption are the important indicators of the performance of the J-T cryocooler. In this study, the initial cool-down stages of the J-T cryocooler were investigated by numerical simulations. The results show the effects of the initial charging pressures of gas on the cool-down time and the temperature at the cold end and the gas consumptions.

본 논문에서는 제한된 자원을 가진 보드에서 딥러닝 기반 검출기 구축에 대한 실현 가능성에 대해 논의한다. 많은 연구에서 고성능 GPU 환경에서 검출기를 평가하지만, 제한된 연산 자원을 가진 보드에서의 평가는 여전히 미비하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 검출기를 파싱하고 최적화하는 것으로 보드에 딥러닝 기반 검출기를 구현하고 구축한다. 제한된 자원에서의 딥러닝 기반 검출기의 성능을 확인하기 위해, 여러 검출기를 다양한 하드웨어 자원에서 모니터링하고, COCO 검출 데이터 셋에서 On-Board에서의 검출 모델과 On-GPU의 검출 모델을 mAP, 전력 소모량, 실행 속도(FPS) 관점으로 비교 및 분석한다. 그리고 군사 분야에 검출기를 적용한 효과를 고려하기 위해 항공 전투 시나리오를 고려할 수 있는 열화상 이미지로 구성된 자체 데이터 셋에서 검출기를 평가한다. 결과적으로 우리는 본 연구를 통해 On-Board에서 모델을 실행하는 딥러닝 기반 검출기의 강점을 조사하고, 전장 상황에서 딥러닝 기반 검출기가 기여할 수 있음을 보인다.

The Immersion Grating Infrared Spectrometer (IGRINS) is a near-infrared wide-band high-resolution spectrograph jointly developed by the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute and the University of Texas at Austin. IGRINS employs three HAWAII-2RG Focal Plane Array (H2RG FPA) detectors. We present the design and fabrication of the detector mount for the H2RG detector. The detector mount consists of a detector housing, an ASIC housing, a Field Flattener Lens (FFL) mount, and a support base frame. The detector and the ASIC housing should be kept at 65 K and the support base frame at 130 K. Therefore they are thermally isolated by the support made of GFRP material. The detector mount is designed so that it has features of fine adjusting the position of the detector surface in the optical axis and of fine adjusting yaw and pitch angles in order to utilize as an optical system alignment compensator. We optimized the structural stability and thermal characteristics of the mount design using computer-aided 3D modeling and finite element analysis. Based on the structural and thermal analysis, the designed detector mount meets an optical stability tolerance and system thermal requirements. Actual detector mount fabricated based on the design has been installed into the IGRINS cryostat and successfully passed a vacuum test and a cold test.

To analyze the cause of the destruction of thin, carbon-backed lithium fluoride targets during a measurement of the fusion of ⁷Li and ¹⁷O, we estimate theoretically the lifetimes of carbon and LiF films due to sputtering, thermal evaporation, and lattice damage and compare them with the lifetime observed in the experiment. Sputtering yields and thermal evaporation rates in carbon and LiF films are too low to play significant roles in the destruction of the targets. We estimate the lifetime of the target due to lattice damage of the carbon backing and the LiF film using a previously reported model. In the experiment, elastically scattered target and beam ions were detected by surface silicon barrier (SSB) detectors so that the product of the beam flux and the target density could be monitored during the experiment. The areas of the targets exposed to different beam intensities and fluences were degraded and then perforated, forming holes with a diameter around the beam spot size. Overall, the target thickness tends to decrease linearly as a function of the beam fluence. However, the thickness also exhibits an increasing interval after SSB counts per beam ion decreases linearly, extending the target lifetime. The lifetime of thin LiF film as determined by lattice damage is calculated for the first time using a lattice damage model, and the calculated lifetime agrees well with the observed target lifetime during the experiment. In experiments using a thin LiF target to induce nuclear reactions, this study suggests methods to predict the lifetime of the LiF film and arrange the experimental plan for maximum efficiency.

본 연구에서는 중성자-감마 스펙트럼검층 존데 설계를 목적으로 Monte Carlo 시물레이션을 이용하여 열중성자 반응의 우세한 영역 파악 및 포획감마 스펙트럼의 에너지피크 값에 기초한 지층 구성 원소 구분을 수행하였다. 14 MeV 에너지준위의 중성자를 방출하는 중성자발생장치를 선원으로 이용하여 선원으로부터 10 cm 간격으로 12개의 중성자 검출기들을 배열함으로써 거리에 따른 열중성자 양을 측정하였다. 시추공 영향 저감을 위해 존데모형에 차폐재를 적용하여 보다 정확한 열중성자 측정을 수행하여 열중성자 반응이 우세한 위치를 분석한 뒤, 이 위치에서 검출된 포획감마 에너지 스펙트럼을 분석하여 지층을 구성하는 주요 원소 및 그 양을 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과는 중성자-감마 스펙트럼검층 존데의 신호대잡음 비 향상과 포획감마 검출기 최적 위치 선정에 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.
