광 통신 분야에 응용되는 GRIN 렌즈의 사양을 통해서 고분자 GRIN 렌즈의 응용 가능성과 장점 등을 살펴보기 위하여 GRIN 렌즈의 특성과 GRIN 렌즈의 광통신 분야에의 응용성, 고분자 GRIN 렌즈 제작방법 등을 검토하였다. 이로부터 고분자 GRIN 렌즈는 제작 방법과 제작 공정 변수의 다양성으로 인하여 다양한 형태의 GRIN렌즈 제작과 굴절률 분포 제어에 있어서 장점이 있음을 확인하였다. 특히, 구형 고분자 GRIN 렌즈는 수 구경이 크고 수차가 적을 뿐만 아니라 제작 방법이 간단하기 때문에 광원과 광섬유간의 접속에 매우 유용할 것으로 판단되었다.

Purpose: To study changes in coating and lens materials after chemically etched different polymer based glass lenses in short-term and ambient condition using hydrofluoric acid. Methods: Vinyl ester polymer (Lens A) and thiourethane polymer (Lens B), both dyed in gray 70%, were etched in hydrofluoric acid solution for 5, 10, or 15 min. The mechanical properties, degrees of damages in hard coating, anti-reflection coating, and other coatings, rates of refractive index and light transmission of both polymer types were evaluated. Results: Rates of refractive index of both lens types were not changed significantly after chemical etching. However, anti-reflection coatings and hard coatings were removed and lens surfaces were damaged. As a results, UV light transmission of lenses increased and mechanical properties decreased. Chemical etching notably changed various properties of thiourethane polymer materials. Conclusions: Depending on types of polymer materials, chemical reactions by hydrofluoric acid were dissimilar. Thus, various properties of les materials were altered differently.

Purpose: To observe changes of coatings and lens materials with varying temperature to understand effect of temperature on plastic lens. Methods: In this study, three lenses of different refractive indices (2 of thiourethane oriented lenses, an allyl diglycol carbonate oriented lens) were exposed to high temperature (50, 80, and 100 degree) for 5 hours and changes of individual coating (anti-refractive coating, hard coating, and water repellent coating) were measured. Results: As a result, high-refractive index lenses did not exhibit significant variation of hardness. However, hardness of mid-refractive index lens were decreased when exposed to high temperature and destructions of hard coating layer was inferred. Surface contact angles of lens were decreased with increasing temperature and water repellent coating layer were damaged at higher than 80 degree. Conclusions: Multi including water repellent coatings on all three lenses with different refractive indices were damaged when exposed to at or higher than 80 degree. The degree of changes in mechanical and physical properties were depended on polymer material type.

The purpose of this study is synthesizing silicone polymer which is used the material of contact lens and solving the problems of water content and light transmittance for gas permeable contact lens. We used NVP, MMA, HEMA monomer for polymerization and EGDMA as cross linking regent. Also, we polymerized with a several formulation arrangement for the best condition as contact lens. After that. we measured water content and light transmittance by each sample which was polymerized. We polymerized the silicone polymer which is simultaneously pursued by the transparent and water content of the material and measured their physical nature of each sample on this study.

This study was done for the preparation of macromolecular material with UV-blocking features by adding the benzophenone group that is commonly used as a UV-absorbent and $TiO_2$ which is known to be a very stable material in chemical and physical aspects. Also, we compared the level of UV absorbency of the polymer produced from polymerization with previous materials and measured basic properties such as water content, refractive index and optical transmittance of produced contact lenses. The results of the measurement showed that the refractive index and water content of the contact lens with added UV-absorbent was 1.430~1.440 and 35.0~45.0% respectively, which was similar to that of previous contact lenses. Also, for optical transmittances of each wave length, contact lenses without the UV-absorbent was 89%, 88% and 89% respectively for UV-A, UV-B and visible light, indicating that the UV transmittance is very high though contrary with cases of contact lenses with added 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-benzophenone and 2,4-dihydroxy-benzophenone which showed transmittances of 0% and 6% respectively for UV-A and UV-B showing a UV-blocking effect. Meanwhile, contact lenses with added $TiO_2$ showed transmittance of 6% and 51% respectively for UV-A and UV-B also showing a UV-blocking effect. The visible transmittance was 77~89% showing that it satisfies the visible transmittance required for ophthalmological materials.

Quaternary ammonium compounds(QACs) are some of the most commonly used antimicrobials. Antimicrobial polymers have been used as biomedical devices. In this Study, We synthesized new methacrylate monomers including quaternary ammonium moieties for preparation of contact lens, And also, we tested for antimicrobial activities against S. aureus, E. coli and P. aeruginosa. They showed much higher antimicrobial activities against all than the polymers of no including quaternary ammonium.

Purpose: The functional ophthalmic lenses containing fluorine-substituted aniline group (2,4-difluoroaniline, 2,6-difluoroaniline, 3,4-difluoroaniline) were manufactured and the physical and optical characteristics of copolymerized ophthalmic lens were investigated. Methods: HEMA (2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate), NVP (N-vinyl pyrrolidone), MA (methacrylic acid), the cross-linker EGDMA (ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) and the initiator AIBN (azobisisobutyronitrile) were used as a basic combination and fluorine-substituted aniline group (2,4-difluoroaniline, 2,6-difluoroaniline, 3,4-difluoroaniline) were used as additives for preparing the hydrogel soft contact lenses. The hydrogel ophthalmic lens was manufactured by cast mould method and the ophthalmic lenses were stored in a 0.9% NaCl normal saline for 24 hrs. Results: The optical transmittance of the sample with addition 2,4-difluoroaniline showed that the UV-B(9.8~51.4%), UV-A(58.8~79.2%) and visible transmittance(87.0~90.4%). In the case of 2,6-difluoroaniline were measured the UV-B(80.2~83.2%), UV-A(85.8~86.4%), and visible transmittance(90.8~91.4%). Also, the optical transmittance of ophthalmic lens containing 3,4-difluoroaniline were measured the UV-B transmittance of 3.8~30.4%, UV-A transmittance of 47.8%~74.4% and the visible transmittance of 86.2~91.0% respectively. Conclusions: Based on the results of this study, 2,4-difluoroaniline and 3,4-difluoroaniline can be used effectively as additive for UV-blocking ophthalmic contact lenses.

Compound eyes in nature present intriguing topics in physiological optics due to their unique optical scheme for imaging. For example, a bee's eye has thousands of integrated photonic units called ommatidia spherically arranged along a curvilinear surface so that each unit points in a different direction. The omni-directionally arranged ommatidium collects incident light with a narrow range of angular acceptance and independently contributes to the capability of wide field-of-view (FOV) detection. Artificial implementation of compound eyes has attracted a great deal of research interest because the wide FOV exhibits a huge potential for medical, industrial, and military applications. So far, imaging with a FOV over $90^{\circ}$ has been achieved only with fisheye lenses which rely on bulky and expensive multiple lenses and require stringent alignment. In this talk, we will discuss about the spherical 3D arrangement of the photonic structures of biologically inspired artificial compound eyes in a small form-factor to have and the functional and anatomical similiarity with natural compound eyes.

우리 연구팀은 $SiO_2$ nanospheres를 이용한 natural lithography를 통해 2가지 방법으로 GaAs 기판의 반사율을 감소시켰다. 먼저 GaAs 기판 위에 benzocyclobutene(BCB) 고분자를 코팅한 후, 그 위에 $SiO_2$ nanospheres를 코팅한다. 그리고 고분자의 유리전이 온도이상으로 가열하면 $SiO_2$ nanospheres가 고분자 속으로 가라앉게 되어 렌즈 형태의 표면이 형성된다. 또한, 이 상태에서 BOE 용액을 통해 $SiO_2$ nanospheres를 제거하여 오목한 형태의 표면을 형성할 수 있다. 이러한 2가지 방법의 surface texturing을 통해 우리는 GaAs 표면의 반사도를 각각 400~800nm의 파장에서 평균 13.6%~16.52%의 반사율을 얻을 수 있었다.
