The realization of partially coherent Gaussian Schell-model beams with isotropic cross section and anisotropic degree of coherence function is investigated theoretically. An optical system is devised to transform diffused light generated by passing the Gaussian beam of the He-Ne laser thorough a rotating holographic diffuser to the partially coherent Gaussian Schell-model beam with isotropic cross section and anisotropic degree of coherence function. Analytic design equations are formulated and design examples are presented.

One of the key factors in research regarding long-distance laser beam propagation, as in free-space optical communication or laser power transmission, is the transmission efficiency of the laser beam. As a way to improve efficiency, we perform extensive numerical simulations of the effect of modifying the laser beam's profile, especially replacing the fundamental Gaussian beam with a super-Gaussian beam. Numerical simulations of the transmitted power in the ideal diffraction-limited beam diameter determined by the optical system of the transmitter, after about 1-km propagation, reveal that the second-order super-Gaussian beam can yield superior performance to that of the fundamental Gaussian beam, in both single-channel and coherently combined multi-channel laser transmitters. The improvement of the transmission efficiency for a 1-km propagation distance when using a second-order super-Gaussian beam, in comparison with a fundamental Gaussian beam, is estimated at over 1.2% in the singlechannel laser transmitter, and over 4.2% and over 4.6% in coherently combined 3- and 7-channel laser transmitters, respectively. For a range of the propagation distance varying from 750 to 1,250 m, the improvement in transmission efficiency by use of the second-order super-Gaussian beam is estimated at over 1.2% in the single-channel laser transmitter, and over 4.1% and over 4.0% in the coherently combined 3- and 7-channel laser transmitters, respectively. These simulation results will pave the way for future advances in the generation of higher-order super-Gaussian beams and the development of long-distance optical energy-transfer technology.

This paper proposes a new wide-band beamforming algorithm which has Gaussian weighting at nested linear array for acoustic measurement. The beamforming is performed one-shot by using all sensors simultaneously, not octave-by-octave. Gaussian weighting of frequency-dependent function is applied to each sensor before time-delay compensation so as to control the frequency receiving band of each sensor. As the results of the simulations, it is confirmed that the proposed algorithm can form the one-shot beams having uniform directivity index and also it can be applied to the broad-band acoustic measurement.

A radio telescope which has been dominantly used for millimeter and submillimeter wave radio astronomy is a cassegrain antenna. A various receivers with specified observing bandwidths are installed on cassegrain antenna so as to carry out to investigate a diverse radio astronomy. A beam guiding system should be required so that a various receiver can be conducted their own observational frequency bands. The beam guiding system based on Gaussian beam transmission theory consists of quasi-optical circuit used such ellipsoidal mirror, dielectric lens and feed horn. In this paper, not only Gaussian beam transformations based on Gaussian beam theory are presented, but also design techniques for quasi-optical circuit are given. By using proposed design techniques, both Gaussian beam quasi-optical circuits to be used for cassegrain antenna and design results are also described. Properties of key focusing elements such ellipsoidal mirror and dielectric lens and feed horn are also discussed. It is expected that beam guiding system to be applied cassegrain antenna could be easily designed by using proposed design techniques.

This paper reports the study of the line-beam optical system of the laser lift-off (LLO) equipment used in the OLED manufacturing process. To obtain both a long process depth and a narrow width of the line beam, even with the poor M² value of the laser source, the research is focused on the optical system, including the beam transformation unit (BTU). We also propose optical configurations for the super-Gaussian distribution and the fiber-based BTU for the flat-top distribution.

본 논문에서는 PDMS 프레폴리머의 전기유체분사를 이용하여 마이크로렌즈를 제작했다. 전기유체분사 시스템에서 인가전압과 기판 온도의 두 가지 변수를 변화시키면서 제작한 PDMS 마이크로렌즈의 특징을 파악하였으며, 인가전압이 증가함에 따라 마이크로렌즈의 직경이 작아지고, 기판 온도가 증가함에 따라 마이크로렌즈의 직경이 작아지고 접촉각이 커지는 것을 확인하였다. 제작된 PDMS 마이크로렌즈의 특성을 평가하기 위하여 가우시안 빔 투과 실험을 하였다. 측정된 초점거리는 계산된 초점거리와 5 mm 차이가 났으며, 렌즈를 투과된 가우시안 빔은 초점에서 최대의 파워밀도와 최소의 유효반경을 가지는 것으로 측정되었다.

Recently, ultrasonic testing simulation has becomes very important in the field of nondestructive evaluation due to its unique capability of providing testing signals without real inspection. The ultrasonic testing simulation requires three elementary models including the transducer beam radiation model, the flaw scattering model, and the reception model. In the present work, we briefly describe an approach to develop the ultrasonic testing model together with its elementary models with the multi-gaussian beam model. Based on this approach, we developed ultrasonic testing simulation program with MATLAB. The performance of the developed program is demonstrated by the predicting of ultrasonic signals from two types of flaws, circulars crack and spheres.

Analytical models for the prediction of the size of hardened zone in laser surface hardening are presented. The models are based on the solutions to the problem of three-dimensional heat flow in plates with infinite thickness. The validity of the model was tested on medium carbon steel for Gaussian mode of beam. Then the model for rectagular beam was used for the predicition of the size of hardened zone on various hardening process parameters. From the calculation results it appeared that the size and shape of the hardened zone are strongly dependent on process parameters such as beam mode, beam size, and traverse speed.
