적외선 우주배경복사 관측실험 (Cosmic Infrared Background ExpeRiment, CIBER) II는 2009년 2월 25일 화이트샌드 미사일 기지에서 NASA 사운딩 로켓에 탑재, 발사된 CIBER I의 후속 프로젝트이다. 독립적인 Imager 2 대와 Spectrometer 2 대로 구성된 CIBER I과 달리 CIBER II는 하나의 주경과 부경으로 구성된 광학계를 4 대의 Imager가 beam splitter를 이용하여 관측하게 구성되어 있다. CIBER II는 NASA에서 공식적으로 승인되었으며, 한국천문연구원과 한국기초과학지원연구원이 미국 NASA/JPL, Caltech 및 일본 ISAS와 국제 공동으로 개발할 계획이다.

Generally, IR cut-off filters for mobile phone is coated on the glass substrate at high temperature(above $300^{\circ}C$). In this work, we prepared IR cut-off filters on the poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) substrates at low temperature(about $70^{\circ}C$ ). using the $CeO_2\;and\;SiO_2$ coatings by physical vapor deposition. The surface energies of coated and uncoated PMMA, and adhesive properties of IR cut-off filters coatings were examined using contact angle measurements. We demonstrate the improve of mobile phone optical system using these results.

Using an IR (infrared) optical system of observation and research were performed long before. Nowadays satellites equipped with IR optical system observe the earth and universe. In this paper, we developed the IR optical system for main payload of the STSAT-3 (Science and Technology Satellite -3). We studied the ultra precision machining technique to fabricate FPL-53 lenses which is the IR optical material for space observation camera of the STSAT-3. DOE (Design of Experiment) was used to find best machining characteristic for FPL-53. Finally we fabricated FPL-53 aspheric lens with the form accuracy of P-V $0.36\;{\mu}m$.

In the conventional thermograph systems, expensive infrared lens systems are usually used for accomodating infrared beams to high speed optical scanners. In this study, a cheap focussing mirror with a two dimensional scanner are used for the development of medical infrared thermograph system in which high speed imaging is not critically required. The infrared thermograph system can be used for two dimensional imaging of human skin temperature by measuring the amount of infrared lights radiating from it. It has been experimentally proven that the accuracy of temperature measurements using the developed system is under 0.1$^{\circ}C$ with image matrix size of 256${\times}$240, and imaging time of 4 seconds.

Twyman-Green interferometer is developed for assessment of IR optical system performance. Light source is $CO_2$ gas laser which has 10.6$\mu \textrm m$ wavelength. The light beam is expanded to 2.5 cm dia by Ge lens and splitted by ZnSe parallel plane plate. One of the beams is reflected by refernce mirror which is operated PZT. The fringe will be detected by a pyro-electric vidicon camera and displayed by a CRT monitor. Here, the IR firinge is recorded on the thermal paper. In visible region, the light source is He-Ne laser. The fringe is detected by a CCD camera and displayed by the CRT monitor. The intensity of the fringe is digitized by a image card and processed by a PC. The wavefront aberration function, PSF and OTF are calculated. The results are displayed in 3-D graphs on the monitor or printed out by a line printer.

To design three-mirror telescope system (F/8, 120 inch in focal length) for visible and infra-red band imaging, methods for power configuring and correction of the third order aberrations were studied. In the design of the telescope system, a three-mirror system corrected for spherical aberration, coma, and astigmatism was used for infra-red imaging, and the aberrations were corrected by using conic surfaces. For visible imaging, a singlet corrector lens was appended at the front of the focal plane to correct filed curvature. The telescope system has diffraction limited performance for 10 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in wavelength within 2.4$^{\circ}$ of field-of-view. In the visible band imaging, the rms spot size of the telescope system is less than 25 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ within 3$^{\circ}$ of field-of-view for monochromatic light, and the telescope system satisfies flat field condition for CCD application.

A new registration method for IR image and EO image is proposed in this paper. IR sensor is applicable to many area because it absorbs thermal radiation energy unlike EO sensor does. However, IR sensor has difficulty to extract and match features due to low contrast compared to EO image. In order to register both images, we used modified SIFT(Scale Invariant Feature Transform) and block processing to increase feature distinctiveness. To remove outlier, we applied RANSAC(RANdom SAample Concensus) for each block. Finally, we unified matching features into single coordinate system and remove outlier again. We used 3~5um range IR image, and our experiment result showed good robustness in registration with IR image.

Many technical challenges are being tried for a large space infrared telescope, which is one of the major objectives of the Strategic Technology Road Map (STRM) of KASI (Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute), As one of these challenges, KASI and KBSI (Korea Basic Science Institute) have started a cooperation project for developing a space infrared cryogenic system with KIMM (Korea Institute of Machinery as Materials) and i3system co. In this paper, we generate optical requirements for the Protomodel of Space Infrared Cryogenic System (PSICS), and design a single lens optical system with a bandpass of $3.8\~4.8{\mu}m$, a field of view of $15^{\circ}\times12^{\circ}$, and an angular resolution of $0.047^{\circ}$, to develop a further complex optical system.

In an infrared optical system, using a cooled detector generates a phenomenon called a narcissus, in which the focal-plane array cooled to very low temperatures is reflected at the lens surface and detected. The narcissus can be removed by non-uniformity correction of the detector pixel, so narcissus is generally ignored in infrared optics. However, non-uniformity correction reduces the sensitivity of the system. Also, as the housing temperature varies due to an environmental temperature change, or a lens is moved for focusing or athermalization purposes, a narcissus may occur even after non-uniformity correction. To minimize such a narcissus, the amount of the effect must be controlled in the lens-design stage. In this paper we designed a midinfrared optical system and analyzed the narcissus by setting the lens surface reflectance to 1%. In addition, the design was divided into stages of an initial design, an improved design, and a minimum design, and the narcissus was improved to about 56% of that in the initial design.
