"Effect of Oxygen Flow Rate on Fabrication of ZnO Thin Films Using Cold He Plasma at Atmospheric Pressure"
JSPE (in Japanese), 74, 10, (2008-10) 1097-1100.
Abstract: Homogeneous nonequilibrium low tem temperature plasma was generated under atmospheric pressure by high voltage pulsed power (1 kV, 20 kHz) excitation of He gas or mixture of He O2 gases. Using this cold plasma, ZnO thin films were fabricated on glass substrate exposed to air by feeding Zn-MOPD into plasma with He carrier gas. Dependence of O2 gas flow rate on optical transmittance of the ZnO films and resistivity were investigated. In addition, crystallinity and microstructure of the films was studied by XRD measurement and FE-SEM observation.

"Limitations of Superimposed Fiber Bragg Gratings"
J. Soc. Materials Science, Japan (in Japanese), 57, 2, (2008-2) 181-184.
Abstract: The authors demonstrate the inscription of several Bragg gratings at the same location of a photosensitive fiber. This superimposed Bragg grating was fabricated by two-beam interference method using UV laser light. Effects due to the inscription of multiple gratings at the same location of the fiber such as changes of reflectivity and shift of wavelength are studied.

"Apodization of Fiber Bragg Gratings by Two-Beam Interference Method"
J. Optical Soc. of Japan (in Japanese), 37, 3, (2008-3) 186-193.
Abstract: Because fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) have very sharp, narrow-band reflection spectra, they are well suited to applications involving narrow-band optical signals, such as optical filters in optical telecommunication systems, fiber laser cavities, and various types of fiber sensors. There, the effective apodization techniques are ever strongly desired for spectrum shaping such as suppressing side -lobes. We have developed novel technique of the apodization using two-beams interference method that controls the angle of mirror reflection by very small amount in step-wise or continuously during the time of the FBG formation by UV laser irradiation, which consequently forms superposition of FBGs of slightly different granting period and hence achieves the apodization. Experiments by two-step control of the mirror angle have demonstrated very clear spectrum apodization technique for the FBG fabrication.
