Wavefront aberrations of a laser beam that was reflected from an off-axis parabolic (OAP) mirror were measured to evaluate the optical performance of the OAP mirror. For a diamond turned OAP mirror, the root-mean-square (rms) value of higher-order aberrations was only $0.03{\mu}m$ for the laser beam size of about 34 mm. The other OAP mirror which was polished at a domestic company had the rms value of higher-order aberrations of $2.07{\mu}m$ for the same beam size. Although the diamond turned OAP mirror was well fabricated to have a small amount of aberrations, the aberrations were induced by the misalignment of the OAP mirror. Especially, 0 degree astigmatism increased with the sensitivity of $0.372{\mu}m/mrad$ when the OAP mirror was tilted in the tangential plane, which agreed well with the calculated results using a commercial ray tracing software.

A method for measuring the wavefront error and the modulation transfer function(MTF) of large aperture optics using an unequal path interferometer is presented. A bidirectional shearing interferometer is used for collimation testing of the measurement system. A large aperture Fizeau interferometer with long optical path difference measures the wavefront error of the optics under test by using a $\Phi$ 400 mm off-axis parabolic mirror. The MTF is also measured at the wavelength of the interferometer by changing the laser light into partially incoherent light. Test results of a $\Phi$ 300 mm Cassegrain type satellite telescope made in Korea are presented.

A nondestructive technique for measuring the refractive index of a simple lens is described. The shearing interferornetric technique is used for determining the focal length of a lens by immersing it in various liquids. The lens itself acts as autocollimator and decollimator. An equation for the defocusing error has been theoretically deduced and experimentally verified. The wave aberration has also been investigated for the different values of the focal length.

Purpose: We investigated how the movement of iris and visual axis affects the finite schematic eye Methods: Using the schematic eye with the crystalline lens in the existing forms of the radial GRIN and the spherical GRIN, the iris centre was moved 0.5 mm in nasal direction and visual axis was tilted $5^{\circ}$ in same direction, with the additional degree of 2.5 down to locate the focal point in fovea. This study analyzed performance change of the optical system, designing it same as the real eye. Results: The whole aberration distribution showed a considerable difference in performance in comparison with the real eye; the biggest difference shown at the central field of optical system. The spherical aberration showed the biggest difference, and a peripheral power error and field curvature leaned toward (+) direction in aberration distribution. Conclusions: When designing the schematic eye with the performance similar with that of the real eye by taking into consideration the iris centre and visual axis, the aberration at the center field of optical system in particular should be corrected. Spherical aberration which showed the biggest difference should be corrected in the first place. In addition, a peripheral power error and field curvature that leaned toward (+) direction should be moved toward (-) direction.

Applying the computer interface cards installed to old-fashioned, used PENTIUM I for the basic optical experiment makes students to have more attention and interests in the experiment, and enhanced the accuracy of the optical experiment. When applied for the light diffraction experiment, the above way of results made the experiment more accurate comparing with those of other experiments operated in advance. In addition, they turned out to be as same as the data in theory. Applying the above way not only for the basic optical experiments to recycle old-fashioned PCs being abandoned but also for the automation of optical experiments in manual could enhance the efficiency of the experiment a lot.

f-$\theta$len is one of the important parts in Laser Scanning Unit because it affects on the optical performance of Laser Scanning Unit dominantly. It is necessary to find out the relationship between the surface profile error of f-$\theta$lens and the beam profile focusing on the Organic Photo Conductive drum in order to analysis the beam profile problems such as appearance of side lobe and expansion of center lobe. In this research, a simulation process which relates the surface profile characteristics to the beam profile has been developed by CODE V. The simulated beam profile also have been compared with the measurement results.

최근 시각 관련 측정기 개발에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 자동 시각 굴절력 곡률계의 전자 부문에 연동될 굴절력 측정 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 만약 자동화된 시스템이 광학계로부터 나오는 영상을 이용하여 내부 처리를 거친 후 정확한 시각 측정치를 검사자에게 알려줄 수 있다면 잘못 측정되는 측정 횟수를 크게 줄일 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구는 형태학적 필터링(morphological filtering)과 그레이-레벨의 신호 강조(signal enhance) 기술들을 이용하여 자동 시각 굴절력 측정 시스템에 연동될 측정 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 알고리즘에서는 광학계로부터, 도출된 영상으로부터 첫째로 형태학적 필터링 처리를 행하여 처리가 어려운 원 영상을 좀 더 다루기 쉬운 상태로 바꿔준 후 영상에 가해주는 그레이 수준 한계 기법을 통해 신호를 강조함으로써 영상의 그레이 값 분포가 다양함으로 인해서 발생되는 오차를 줄이게 된다. 그리하여 본 전자 부문 소프트웨어는 정확한 측정값 도출이 어려운 시각 영상에 적용되어 효과적으로 오차를 줄임으로써 보다 효율적인 시각 측정을 가능하게 하였다.

1950년 Norman Ramsy는 시간적으로 분리된 두 진동 자장을 사용한 마이크로파 전이 방법을 개발했다 이 방법을 사용할 경우 그림1과 같이 넓은 선폭을 가지는 공진선 ("Rabi pedestal") 위에 좁은 선폭의 분광 신호("Ramsey fringe")를 얻을 수 있다. 램지 방법은 정밀한 분광 측정에 많이 사용되고 있으며, 특히 원자 시계를 구현하기 위한 기본 기술이 되고 있다. (중략)

단원자를 이용한 Cavity-QED 실험등을 위해서는 고분해능 분광학이 필요하다. 레이저 주파수 안정화는 고분해능 분광학을 위한 필수적인 선결 과제이다. 본 연구에서는 다이오드 레이저를 대상으로 전류되먹임 방법에 의해 주파수 안정화를 하였다. 오차 신호를 얻기 위해 공진기를 사용하였는데 공진기는 원자 전이선을 이용한 경우보다 더 높은 신호 대 잡음비를 얻을 수 있다. 일단 공진기에 안정화된 레이저는 주파수 특성을 그대로 유지한 채 AOM이나 EOM 등을 이용하여 필요한 원자 전이선으로 주파수 이동시켜 고분해능 분광에 활용할 수 있다.
