In the fast data communication system, synchronized by a clock source, the loss of data will often occur due to several reasons as a differential routing path between data and clock, a differential propagation delay of components or an unstable phase of clock and data by external noise. In this paper, we describe the ASIC implementation of the data compensation circuit which can detect the data loss from above problems and recovery to original data with stable synchronization. Especially it supports a strong stability and a good BER in the communication system for fast data transfer as optic area. This circuit is implemented by Verilog HDL and available to the digital ASIC implementations related to fast data transfer.

A new lightwave locking technique which can be used in tuning the wavelength of a local laser diode to the reference wavelength is presented in this paper. The optical frequency from the reference laser source and the optical frequency from the local slave VCO laser are heterodyned on a optical receiver, resulting in the 1.5GHz RF signal corresponding to the difference frequency between two input optical signals. The difference frequency is locked to the reference 1.5GHz oscillator source in off-set frequency locking loop. Using the commercialized microwave components, frequency difference detector can be easily established to lock the lightwave. The optical frequency of 1.55um laser diode which keeps the frequency off-set of 1.5GHz is locked to the input reference optical signal with the locking range of 320MHz.

A variety of efforts are attempted to make the world sustainable in fabrication industries worldwide. To achieve the goals, a new design concept for products is one of crucial factors to be able to dismantle them after use in easy and simple ways. New debonding technologies have been developed in recent years for the recycle and/or repair of bonded structures, where the bonds are broken without the damage of the components and make recycling easier. Some representative technologies of controlled delamination materials (CDM) are reviewed with an emphasis on light induced debonding of adhesives. We also describe current applications of light induced CDMs as temporary bondable films in semiconductor and display industries.

Herein, we performed a comparative study on approximate multi-objective design optimization, to realize a structural design to improve the weight and vibration performances of the knuckle - a car suspension component - considering various load conditions and vibration characteristics. In the approximate multi-objective optimization process, a regression meta-model was generated using the response surfaces method (RSM), while Kriging and back-propagation neural network (BPN) methods were applied for interpolation meta-modeling. The Pareto solutions, multi-objective optimal solutions, were derived using the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II). In terms of the knuckle design considered in this study, the characteristics and influence of the meta-model on multi-objective optimization were reviewed through a comparison of the approximate optimization results with the meta-models and the actual optimization.

A quantum light source is an essential element for quantum information technology, including quantum communication, quantum sensor, and quantum computer. Quantum light sources including photon number state, entangled state, and squeezed state can be divided into two types according to the generation mechanism, namely single emitter and non-linear based systems. The single emitter platform contains atom/ion trap, solid-state defect/color center, two-dimensional material, and semiconductor quantum dot, which can emit deterministic photons. The non-linear based platform contains spontaneous parametric down-conversion and spontaneous four-wave mixing, which can emit probabilistic photon pairs. For each platform, we give an overview of the recent research trends of the generation, manipulation, and integration of single photon and entangled photon sources. The characteristics of quantum light sources are investigated for each platform. In addition, we briefly introduce quantum sensing, quantum communication, and quantum computing applications based on quantum light sources. We discuss the challenges and prospects of quantum light sources for quantum information technology.

Zoom lenses are now starting to be applied to mobile-phone cameras as well. A zoom lens applied to a mobile-phone camera is mainly used to capture images in the telephoto range. Such an optical system has a long focal length, similar to that of a high-magnification zoom optical system, so the position of the imaging device also shifts significantly, due to manufacturing errors of the lenses and mechanical parts. In the past, the positional shift of the imaging device was corrected by moving the first lens group and the total optical system, but this paper confirms that the position of the imaging device can be corrected by selecting any two moving lens groups. However, it is found that more distance must be secured in the front and rear of a moving lens group for this purpose.

3D Printing technology is developing in various prototypes for medical treatment, food, fashion as well as machinery and equipment parts production. 3D printing technology is also able to fully be utilized to other industries in terms of developing its technology which has been reported in many field of areas. 3D printing technology is expected to be used in various applications related to $4^{th}$ industrial revolution such as finished products and parts even it is still carried out in the prototype model. In this study, we have investigated and developed conductive resin for 3d printing application based on reduced graphene oxide(rGO)/Polypyrrole(Ppy) composite and polycaprolactone(PCL) as a biodegradable polymer. The electrical properties and surface morphology of the conductive PCL resin based on therGO/Ppy composite were analyzed by 4point-probe and scanning electron microscope(SEM). The conductive PCL resin based on rGO/Ppy composite is expected to be applicable not only 3D printing, but also electronic materials in other industrial fields.

We have studied and demonstrated general, systematic error-correction methods for a dual rotating quarter-wave plate ellipsometer. To estimate and correct 5 systematic error sources (three offset angles and two unexpected retarder phase delays), we used 11 of the 25 Fourier components of the ellipsometry signal obtained in the absence of an optical sample. Using these 11 Fourier components, we can determine the errors from the 5 sources with nonlinear optimization methods. We found systematic errors ${\epsilon}_3$, ${\epsilon}_4$, ${\epsilon}_5$) are more sensitive to the inverted Mueller matrix than retarder phase delay errors (${\epsilon}_1$, ${\epsilon}_2$) because of their small condition numbers. To correct these systematic errors we have found that error of any variety must be less than 0.05 rad. Finally, we can use the magnitudes of these errors to correct the Mueller matrix of optical components. From our experimental ellipsometry signals, we can measure phase delay and the rotational angular position of its fast axis for a half-wave plate.

In this paper, a method for evaluating optical-system performance and an athermal structure through thermal analysis of the Korsch telescope was studied. In the case of an optical system having a complex asymmetrical structure, there is a limit to implementing the satellite structure by applying the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) in the optical-design software, so it is difficult to evaluate the performance of the optical system against temperature changes. To solve this problem, using mechanical design software all length changes were implemented in all structures that affect the optical system according to temperature, and the value of the change in distance between optical components due to temperature change was organized. Also, the values of changes in shape and thickness of the optical components against temperature changes are organized in the optical-design software. All changes derived from both software packages were applied in the optical software to evaluate the performance of the optical system. As a result, it was found that the MTF for a spatial resolution of 71.4 cycles/mm was maintained at more than 25% in the range from 9 ℃ to 33 ℃. In addition, the performance of the optical system applying the improved structure was evaluated, by finding the structure that had the most influence on the optical system's performance change, and deriving an athermal structure to reduce the effect. As a result, it was found that the MTF for a resolution of 71.4 cycles/mm was maintained at over 67% in the range from 9 ℃ to 33 ℃.

In the paper, we fabricated a Ni master with $45^{\circ}$-mirror structures for flexible waveguide fabrication. The flexible waveguide films with embedded $45^{\circ}$-angled mirrors at the waveguide ends were successfully fabricated using a UV-imprint process. Next, in order to enhance the reflectivity of the mirrors, Ni(3 nm)-Au(200 nm) bilayers were evaporated on the $45^{\circ}$-angled facets through a locally opened thin mask using an electron beam evaporator. We measured propagation loss, bending loss, mirror loss and bending reliability of the fabricated waveguide.
