    Abstract: A silicon phased array based LiDAR device that measures a distance using a quasi-frequency modulation is disclosed. A LiDAR device according to an exemplary embodiment of the inventive concept includes a light source that generates an optical signal, an optical modulator that generates a first optical signal having a quasi-frequency whose a modulation frequency constantly varies with time by modulating a light intensity of the optical signal, an optical splitter that splits optical power of the first optical signal into a reference optical signal and a transmit (Tx) optical signal, an optical transmitter that receives and emits the Tx optical signal toward an object, an optical receiver that receives a receive (Rx) optical signal reflected from the object and transfers the Rx optical signal, an optical coupler that mixes the reference optical signal and the Rx optical signal, a balanced photodetector that detects an intermediate frequency from the optical signal transferred from the optical coupler and a distance calculator that obtains distance information by measuring the intermediate frequency.

    Abstract: Disclosed are an electrode for secondary batteries containing a high-density carbon defect structure and a method of producing the same. The electrode can prevent deterioration of battery performance due to dendrite formation by inhibiting self-diffusion and aggregation of metal nuclei, and can exhibit an unprecedentedly high number of charge/discharge cycles and excellent energy efficiency by uniformly electrodepositing metal ions on the surface of the electrode. When the method of producing a carbon electrode for a secondary battery is used, an electrode containing a high-density carbon defect structure can be produced, and thus a battery with higher efficiency and a longer lifespan can be produced. The secondary battery comprising the electrode is useful for fields related to medium/large-scale energy storage technology, in particular, for mobile devices, automobile batteries, and renewable-energy power generation systems.

    Abstract: Various embodiments may provide a highly efficient micro light-emitting diode (LED) in a low current range, a method of fabricating the same, and a display including the same. The micro LED includes a first conductive type semiconductor layer and a second conductive type semiconductor layer and an active layer disposed between the first conductive type semiconductor layer and the second conductive type semiconductor layer and having a single quantum well structure. The single quantum well structure may be formed so that a ratio of a conduction band offset of any one of the first conductive type semiconductor layer or the second conductive type semiconductor layer and a valence band offset of the other of the first conductive type semiconductor layer or the second conductive type semiconductor layer becomes greater than 0 and less than 1.

    Abstract: A MEMS device according to an example embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a lower substrate; an infrared sensor formed on the lower substrate; and a lower bonding pad disposed to cover the infrared sensor. The infrared sensor includes: a metal pad formed on an upper surface of the lower substrate and electrically connected to a detection circuit; a reflective layer formed on the upper surface of the lower substrate and reflecting an infrared band; an absorption plate disposed to be spaced apart from an upper portion of the reflective layer and absorbing infrared rays to change resistance; and an anchor formed on the metal pad to support the absorption plate and to electrically connect the metal pad and the absorption plate to each other. The reflective layer has a curved or stepped shape such that a distance between the reflective layer and the absorption plate varies depending on a position of the reflective layer.
