황섬유의 최저손실 파장영역인 1.55μm에서 고출력으로 안정하게 농작하는 광센서용 광원인 반도체 레이저를 제작하기 위하여 이론적인 해석을 수행한 후 제작하였다. 활성영역과 SCH층의 재료는 Ln1-xGaxAsyP1-y를 사용하였다. 광센서용 광원으로 사용되기 위해서는 넓은 스펙트럼 폭을 가지며, 가간섭 길이가 짧은 특성을 가지는 조건을 만족해야 한다. 따라서, 반도체 레이저에서 레이징을 억제시켜 줌으로써 넓은 스펙트럼 폭을 가지도록 설계를 하였고, 광섬유와 결합효율을 높일 수 있도록 tapered 형태의 스트라입 구조를 채택하여 마스크 패턴을 형성하였다. 또한, 레이징을 억제하기 위하여 후면에 윈도우 영역을 두었고, 측방향으로 경사각을 두어 반사도를 낮추도록 설계 및 제작하였다. 7도와 15도의 측면 경사각을 가지는 구조와 굽은 스트라입 구조를 가지는 소자를 제작하여 특성을 측정한 결과, 광센서용 광원으로서 적용이 가능한 광출력 특성과 넓은 스펙트럼 폭을 가졌다.

Shortening the lasing wavelength(particularly below infrared ; the visible region) of laser diodes is very attractive because it can provide a wide range of applications in the fields of optical information, measurement, sensor, the development of medical instrument, and optical communication through plastic fibers. According to the recent researches on the field, InGaAsP/GaAs was suggested as a material for red-light laser. In this study, in order to grow InGaAsP/GaAs epitaxial layer on InGaAsP/GaAs by LPE, we used GaP and InP two phase solution technique for 670nm and 780 nm region, respectively. Through the X-ray diffraction measurement for the epitaxial layer grown from the experiments, we found that the lattice mismatch of In0.46Ga0.54As0.07P0.93/GaAs and In0.19Ga0.81As0.62P0.38/GaAs was about +0.3% and +0.1%, respectively.

Since it is very important for an ocean-going vessel to transmit information quickly and accurately to her owner or charterer not only for the ship's safety but for economic operation of the ship, some newly-built automated vessels equipped with automatic information transmission system which consists of INMARSAT-C and specially-designed computer. This system, however, is not applicable to the existing vessel without chaging her equipments and, furthermore, is too expensive for small shipping companies to fit out such a system on their vessels. Therefore, we propose a low-priced information transmission system which consists of a personal computer and communication equipments in the existing vessel, and in this paper, as the groundwork of the proposed system, we have made up the ship's position transmission system which is composed of and IBM AT-compatible, PC, INMARSAT-A and a GPS receiver. As the test result of the system through sea trial on the training ship 'HANBADA', we confirmed that transmission of the ship's position was achieved succesfully and consequently there could be high possibility of cost-effectiveness of the proposed system

In order to grow InGaAsP epitaxial layer on GaAs by LPE, an accurate phase diagram for In-Ga-As-P quarternary compounds is required. But the short wavelength InGaAsP/GaAs phase diagram for full wavelength range was not yet reported. In this study, therefore, a theoretical calculation has been carried out by using thermodynamic's equation for InGaAsP/GaAs in order to get the relation between the mole fraction of the sloute and solid phase compounds. And the calculation being compared with the dta of Kawanishi et. al, the result has been shown that his phase diagram obtained by the calculation can apply to growing InGaAsP/GaAs by LPE.
