Polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) 몰드를 이용하여 Thermal Imprinting 방법을 통해 광변색 물질인Nitrospirobenzopyran(NSB)를 포함하는 Polystyrene 박막을 패터닝하였다. 패턴된 광변색 소자의 변색 및 탈색에 따른 흡광도 스펙트럼 및 회절효과를 조사된 자외선량에 따라 측정하여 자외선 조사량에따른 회절 효율 변화를 식으로 근사할 수 있었으며 회절 효율로부터 소자의 굴절률 변화량을 계산해 낼 수 있었다. 변색 전 회절효율은 6.75%, 공기와의 굴절률 차이 값은 0.078였으며, 200J/m2의 자외선량이조사된 후의 회절효율은 7.56%, 공기와의 굴절률 차이 값은 0.083로 나타났다. 광변색 패턴의 자외선에의한 회절효율의 변화는 자외선 감지에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

Large scale of loess has been applied on the south sea shore of the Korean peninsula to treat red tides, due to many fishery's devastation by red tides every year. However, coastal ecosystem is ruined by the huge amount of loess applied every year. Almost all creatures, living under water such as sea weeds, clams, and fishes, where loess was applied, are disappearing. In this paper, alternative methods of the loess application are investigated. The amount of loess could be reduced by the alternative methods. Especially, loess mixed with calcium oxide has excellent effects to reduce Cochlodinium polykrikoides numbers. It was found that when loess is used with calcium oxide(CaO), removal efficiency of red tides is highly increased. Moreover, the amount of loess could be reduced dramatically.

Large scale of fish kills by red tides has been occurred every year in coastal water fisheries of Korea. To suppress red tide spreading out over the south coastal water of the Korean Peninsula large amount of loess has been applied every year because loess is known to be effective in removing red tide organisms. Effects of loess application in ecosystem of underwater near sea shore were investigated with some physical characteristics of loess. Loess used for the red tide reduction consisted of very fine particles, of which size was mostly less than 0.1㎜. Particles of loess blocked light penetration, which is essential for the underwater ecosystem. Loess also pushed pH down by the hydrolysis activities of aluminium and iron. It was found that underwater ecosystems where loess was applied near sea shore were devastated. Sea plants such as sea weeds were gone leaving only their roots. Clams and snails were dead under the loess dust blanket. And fishes were not found at all where loess has been sprayed for long time. It was found that even if loess has some capacity to reduce red tide temporarily, loess application should be stopped to protect underwater ecosystems.
