In this paper, a novel ultraviolet sensor is presented based on a photoluminescent porous silicon. Porous silicon layer was formed by chemical etching of surface of pn junction in a $HF(48%)-HNO_3(60%)-H_20$ solution. Incident ultraviolet(UV) light is converted to visible light by photoluminescent porous silicon layer, and then this visible light generates electron-hole pairs in the pn junction, which produces a photocurrent flow through the device. In order to maximize detection efficiency, the peak sensitivity wavelength of the pn junction diode was matched with the peak wavelength of Photoluminescence from porous silicon layer. The porous silicon ultraviolet sensor showed a large output current as UV intensity increases and but very low sensitivity to visible light. The detection sensitivity of porous silicon sensor was calculated as 2.91mA/mW. These results are expected to open up a possibility that the present porous silicon sensor can be used for detecting UV light in a visible background, compared to silicon UV detectors which have an undesirable response to visible light.

We suggested the use of miniature hollow glass tubes having high ultraviolet (UV) transmission characteristics for the protection of optical-fiber-type UV sensors. We have recently proposed a highly sensitive optical sensor in the UV spectral range, using a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) coated with an azobenzene polymer as the photoresponsive material. In this study, we used UV-transparent miniature glass tubes to protect the etched FBG with the azobenzene polymer coating. This technique will be very useful for protecting various fiber-based UV sensors.

An ultraviolet (UV) image sensor is an extremely important optoelectronic device used in scientific and medical applications because it can detect images that cannot be obtained using visible or infrared image sensors. Because photodetectors and transistors are based on different materials, conventional UV imaging devices, which have a hybrid-type structure, require additional complex processes such as a backside etching of a GaN epi-wafer and a wafer-to-wafer bonding for the fabrication of the image sensors. In this study, we developed a monolithic GaN UV passive pixel sensor (PPS) by integrating a GaN-based Schottky-barrier type transistor and a GaN UV photodetector on a wafer. Both individual devices show good electrical and photoresponse characteristics, and the fabricated UV PPS was successfully operated under UV irradiation conditions with a high on/off extinction ratio of as high as $10^3$. This integration technique of a single pixel sensor will be a breakthrough for the development of GaN-based optoelectronic integrated circuits.

We propose a simple ultraviolet (UV) sensor consisting of a conventional single-mode optical fiber capped with an azobenzene-moiety-containing polymer. The UV light changes the dimensions of the azobenzene polymer, as well as the refractive index of the material. Incident light with a wavelength of 1550 nm was reflected at the fiber/polymer and polymer/air interfaces, and interference of the reflected beams resulted in spectral interference that shifted the wavelength by 0.78 nm at a UV input power of $2.5mW/cm^2$. The UV sensor's response to wavelength is nonlinear and stable. The response speed of the sensor is limited by detection noise, which can be improved by modifying the insertion loss of the UV sensor and the signal-to-noise ratio of the detection system. The proposed compact UV sensor is easy to fabricate, is not susceptible to electromagnetic interference, and only reacts to UV light.

In this study, to check the function of managing the severity of ultraviolet rays with a smart watch, a popular health care IT device, It was tested whether measuring heart rate using a PPG(Photoplethysmography) sensor representatively used in a smart watch could tell skin changes caused by ultraviolet rays. Through this experiment, we examined the possibility that the skin color tanned by ultraviolet rays can be determined only by the heart rate measurement function of the PPG sensor. In addition, the possibility of expanding the heart rate measurement function of the PPG sensor to the use of skin condition management was considered. we used an Arduino-based reflective PPG sensor to measure changes in heart rate by selecting body sites with high and low UV rays exposure. A significant value was derived through tests considering factors such as gender, UV exposure, and age. As a result, the study identified the possibility of adding ultraviolet rays and skincare items to future smart watch healthcare items and the possibility of expanding skin measurement methods. It is also possible to suggest the direction of future research.

Solar ultraviolet-B (UV-B) irradiances incident on a horizantal surface at Taegu of Korea during 1995-1998 were calculated with 5 min averges of measuremets taken every 30 seconds by a broadband UV-B sensor. The maximum and minimum of monthly averages of daily UV-B dose were 15.89 KJ m-2 day-1 in April and 3.91KJm-2 day-1 on May 22, 1998 and 1.230W m-2 at 12 : 45, July 13, 1998, respectively. Increasing trend in annual maximum of instantaneous UV-B radiation was averaged to 12.0% per year during 1995-1998 of observation period.

본 논문에서는 다용도로 사용 가능한 UV LED 바의 최적설계를 하였다. UV LED는 자외선을 방출하기 때문에 사용목적상 일정하게 자외선을 방출하는 것이 중요하다. 일정한 자외선이 방출되기 위해서는 동작 가능 입력 전압 범위 내에서 정전류원으로 구동되어야 하고 자외선 활용 특성 상 자외선 방출 유지 시간이 길기 때문에 방열이 특히 중요하다. 따라서 소비전력이 최소화 되도록 설계해야 한다. 또한 인체 보호가 필수적이기 때문에 거리 감지 센서와 블루투스를 이용해 인체 감지 여부에 따라 동작할 수 있게 알고리즘을 구성하였다. 자외선 UVA를 방출하기 위해 365nm UV LED 3개가 직렬로 사용되었으며 입력 전압 12V와 정전류 500mA에서 동작하며 효율은 87.5%, 소비전력은 6.006W이다. 그리고 자외선 조사량은 루트론 계측기로 측정하였을 경우 10cm 거리에서 $5.35mW/cm^2$으로 측정 되었다.
