A null lens system of autostigmatic type, consisting of two mirrors, is designed for testing a large aspherical mirror. The system is theoretically analyzed to determine the limitation of measurement accuracy according to the manufacturing and alignment errors. We confirmed that irregularity of the null lens surface is the principal factor among tolerances in limiting measurement accuracy. Consequently, we can predict that measurement accuracy will be from 5λ/100 to 4λ/1000 according to the amount of this irregularity. That is, we can present the limitation of possible measurement accuracy with actual alignment and manufacturing errors.

위성에 탑재된 전자광학 카메라(Electro-Optical Camera)로부터 획득된 영상에서는 카메라의 스캔 방향과 통일한 방향으로 "줄무늬잡음"이 발생하게 된다. 이는 센서의 특성이 통일하지 않고, 우주라는 열악한 환경에서 영상의 획득이 일어나기 때문이다. 똔 논문에서는 줄무늬잡음을 제거하기 위해 비선형 보정방법을 제안한다. 영상의 준균일성(quasi-homogeneous)과 센서특성의 시불변성(time-invariancy) 가정을 바탕으로, 보정하려는 열의 이웃 열을 참조하여 줄무늬잡음에 의한 오차를 추정하고 이를 최소화한다. 줄무늬 잡음 정도를 추정하기 위해 줄무늬잡음을 바이어스에 의한 것과 특성곡선의 경향 차이에 의한 것으로 나눈다. 바이어스에 의한 오차는 센서가 스캔하는 방향과 통일한 방향으로 통계적 특성을 이용하여 추정한다. 특성곡선의 경향차에 의한 오차는 보정하려는 열에서 동일한 박기 레벨을 갖는 화소들을 조사하고, 이들과 이웃하는 열의 동일 위치에 있는 화소의 밝기 레벨의 통계적 특성을 파악하여 추정한다. 이렇게 추정된 오차를 최소화함으로써, 줄무늬잡음을 효과적으로 제거하였다.적으로 제거하였다.

나노테크놀로지의 발전과 함께, 간섭계를 이용한 정밀 계측의 중요성이 더욱 더 높아지고 있다. 본 방법은, 간섭성을 가진 레이저의 파장을 계측의 척도로서 기준 평면으로 사용되는 참조면에 대한 상대 측정에 의해, 3차원 형상을 계측하는 것이다. 고로, 본 논문에서는 간섭계를 이용한 계측에서 고정밀도를 실현하기 위해서는 참조면의 교정이 중요하다는 기본적인 생각을 기초로, 참조면 오차(참조면의 이상적 평면으로부터의 차이)를 주로, 광학 부품에 의한 파면의 왜곡 등을 포함한 간섭계 시스템의 계통 오차를 결정하는 방법을 검토한다.(중략)

이 연구는 우주물체에 대한 광학감시 및 추적을 수행하기 위한 선행연구로, 궤도전파 시뮬레이터를 개발하여 궤도상 위성의 광학관측가능성을 분석하고 광학관측 여부를 판단하는 것을 목표로 한다. 연구의 주 내용은 주어진 궤도정보를 바탕으로 하는 태양동기궤도(Sun-Synchronous Orbit; SSO) 위성, Dawn-dusk 위성, 저궤도(Low Earth Orbit; LEO) 위성, 정지궤도(Geostationary Orbit; GEO) 위성 등 궤도상 위성의 추정궤도 전파와 자국위성의 광학관측가능성 분석으로 구성된다. 각각의 궤도전파 정밀도 및 광학관측가능성 분석성능을 확인하기 위해 AGI(Analytical Graphics Incorporated)사의 STK(Satellite Tool Kit) 시뮬레이션 프로그램을 사용하여 개발된 궤도전파 시뮬레이터와 비교하였다. 시뮬레이션 과정에서 광학관측의 제한조건을, 지구반영(penumbra)과 태양직사광(direct sun)에서만 관측하며, 고도(elevation angle)의 최소값은 20도, 태양고도(Sun elevation angle)의 최대값은 -10도로 설정하였다. 광학관측이 이루어지는 가상의 관측소는 임의로 선정하였으며, 기본적인 관측시간은 1년으로 잡고, 계절의 변화에 따른 광학관측가능성 궤적의 변화를 보기위해 춘하추동에 대해서 각각 3일이내의 기간 동안 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 결과적으로, 우주물체 광학감시 및 추적을 수행하기 위한 광학관측가능성 분석성능은 궤도전파 시뮬레이터 및 초기궤도요소 정밀도, 좌표변환과정 오차 등의 영향을 받으며, 설정된 제한조건에 따라 광학관측 지속시간의 차이가 발생한다. 연구결과를 통해 궤도상 위성의 궤도를 추정하기 위한 위성의 궤도전파 시뮬레이터를 개발하고, 자국위성의 관측가능성 분석을 통해 광학감시 및 추적시스템의 운영이 원활히 이루어질 수 있도록 한다.

The autofocus is one of the important processes in the automated vision inspection or measurements using optical microscopes, because it influences the measuring accuracy. In this paper, we used the confocal microscope configuration based on not a pinhole but a single-mode optical fiber. A single mode fiber has the functions of source and detector by applying the reciprocal scheme. As a result, we acquired a simple system configuration and easy alignment of the optical axis. Also, we embodied a fast autofocus system by acquiring the focus error signal through a source modulation technique. The source modulation technique can effectively reduce physical disturbances compared with objective lens modulation, and it is easily applicable to general optical microscopes. The focus error signal was measured with respect to the modulation amplitude, reflectance of the specimen and inclination angle of the measuring surface. The performance of the proposed autofocus system was verified through autofocusing flat mirror surface. In addition, we confirmed that source modulation rarely degrades the depth resolution by the comparison between the FWHMs of axial response curves.

In this paper, the front radiuses of curvature of spherical spectacle lenses in the cosmetic and optical point of view are investigated and are calculated using Zinken-Sommer condition. The optical power of all spherical spectacle lens shows good quality at the test using autometic lensmeter. However the front radiuses of curvature of spherical spectacle lenses are quite different depending on the lens companies. The front radius of curvature of those lenses is larger than that calculated using Zinken-Sommer condition. We know that the front radius of curvature of commercial spectacle lens is emphasized more cosmetic aspect than optical point of view.

This paper proposes an optical cryptography application to 2-D page-oriented data based on CFB(Cipher Feedback) mode algorithm. The proposed method uses a free-space optical interconnected dual-encoding technique which performs XOR logic operations in order to implement 2-D page-oriented data encryption. The proposed method provides more enhanced cryptosystem with greater security strength than the conventional CFB block mode with 1-D encryption key due to the huge encryption key with 2-D arrayed page type. To verify the proposed method, encryption and decryption of 2-D page data and error analysis are carried out by computer simulations. The results show that the proposed CFB optical encryption system makes it possible to implement stronger cryptosystem with massive data processing and long encryption key compared to 1-D block method.

We have implemented a planar integrated optics for the fractional Fourier transform (FRT) which has recently been developed as a generalized form of the conventional Fourier transform. FRT optical systems provide versatile tools for analyzing signals and designing hardwares, but require high accuracy and stability in the arrangement of optical components because of their shift-variant characteristic. The planar optical FRT setup composed of free-space optical components integrated on a single glass block makes the FRT of 2-dimensional(2-D) input patterns through the 3-D glass-space. Therefore, taking advantage of the compactness, easy alignment and thermal/mechanical stability, the planar optics can provide a useful approach to realizing an optical fractional correlation system in a practical way. In the experiment, we have obtained accurate FRT results by using the planar integrated optics with 4 different fractional orders of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0.

In this paper, we check the possibility of continuous tracking when photographing unknown space objects in a short period of time in an optical observation system on the ground. Simulated observation data were generated for target limited to low-orbit areas. The performance index of the prediction error was set in consideration of the property of targets. Kalman Filter was applied to predict the next location of the target. A constant velocity/acceleration dynamic model was applied to the two axes of the azimuth/elevation of the unknown space object respectively. As a result of performing the Monte Carlo simulation, the maximum error ratio of the maximum nonlinear section was less than 2%, which could be determined to ensure continuous tracking. The CA model had little change in the prediction error value for each case, making it more suitable for tracking unknown space objects. This analysis could provide a foundation for determining the orbit of unknown space objects using optical observation.

Stereotactic radiosurgery for intracranial lesion is well established since the Lars Leksell first introduced radiosurgery concept in 1951 Its use in the treatment of spinal lesion has been limited by the availability of effective immobilization devices. The first clinical experience of the spinal stereotactic radiosurgery technique was reported by Hamilton AJ. in 1995. Recently, Optic-guided patient positioning technique for extracranial stereotactic radiosurgery was developed and reported. This study is for assess the target positioning accuracy of the optic guided patient positioning system Exactrac (BrainLab., Inc, Germany). We have designed phantom for assess the accuracy of spinal stereotactic radiosurgery The infrared reflective body markers attached to the relatively immobile part of the body and a series of 2 mm CT images was taken. The image sets were transferred to the planning computer. During the radiosurgery treatment, we measure the real-time display showing the positioning values from Exactrac computer. And we compare the isocenter deviation from irradiated center point of the film which was mounted on the lesion site of the phantom and pin hole site of that film. The accuracy of the ExacTrac system in positioning a target point shows enough for the clinical applications.
