In this paper, we propose the development of a small $360^{\circ}$ oral scanner lens module. The proposed small $360^{\circ}$ oral scanner lens module consists of a small $360^{\circ}$ high resolution(4MegaPixel) lens optical system, a 15mm image sensor unit, and a small $360^{\circ}$ mouth scanner lens external shape. A small $360^{\circ}$ high resolution lens optical system produces a total of nine lenses, the outer diameter of the lens not less than 15mm for use by children through the ages of adulthood. Light drawn by a small $360^{\circ}$ high resolution lens optical system is $90^{\circ}$ flexion so that image images are delivered to image sensors. The 15mm image sensor unit sends the converted value to the ISP(Image Signal Processor) of the embedded board after an image array through the column and the row address of the image sensor. The small $360^{\circ}$ mouth scanner lens outer shape was designed to fix the race to the developed lens. Results from authorized testing agencies to assess the performance of proposed small $360^{\circ}$ oral scanner lens modules, The optical resolving power of $360^{\circ}$ lens was more than 30% at 150 cycles/mm, $360^{\circ}$ lens angle was $360^{\circ}$ in vertical direction, $42^{\circ}{\sim}85^{\circ}$ in vertical direction, and lens distortion rate was 5% or less. It produced the same result as the world's highest level.

We have fabricated electrostatic lens with novel structure by mixing surface- and bulk-micromachining technology. Polysilicon was used for both the structure and sacrificial layer, and the structure layer was passivated with thermal oxide in order not to be attacked during the silicon wet etching. Compared with conventional electrostatic lens used in microcolumn, this device has the advantages in ; 1) hole alignment, throughput, reliability, damage of lens, 2) the possibility of arrayed lithography through the integration of microcolumn.

To investigate the comparative effect of spherical and aspherical RGP lens were worn during 3 weeks on rabbit's cornea. Four white rabbits were worn right eyes with spherical lens and 4 white rabbits were worn right eyes with aspherical RGP lens. Left eyes were served as control. The rabbits were sacrificed at 3 weeks after fitting and observed morphological changes by scanning electron microscopy and also investigate proliferation rate of the corneal epithelium with RGP wearing. After spherical RGP lens wearing, the epithet layer damaged compared to aspherical lens. The superficial cell layer strip off seriously, cell size significantly changed abnormal. Both spherical and aspherical RGP lens fitting group showed so many bacteria and back surface of lens was found like a fern shape. The aspherical RGP lens original material type was some formal than spherical lens. We thought that these pattern was significantly altered with spherical lens by prohibited transmitter oxygen from atmosphere therefore the epithelium shape was changed. This suggested wearing the aspherical lens might be less physiologic than shperical lens fitting.

Microlens array as basic element of the optical system have been fabricated with various focal length (mainly with long focal length) depending on the purpose of application. In this paper, the microlens arrays were fabricated for observing fluorescent images within sol-gel. Though the fluorescent signal is very low, the microlens array can help obtaining clear images through extracting the fluorescent light from sol-gel. We fabricated microlens arrays with short focal length, which can extract the light using photoresist thermal reflow method. In the experiment, the diameter of microlens decreased after thermal reflow because the solvent within the photoresist was vaporized. Therefore, to compensate the shape error by this reduction, microlens diameter in photomask was altered and spin-coat recipe of photoresist were modified.

In this study, an optical PCB was proposed which can overcome the limitations of the conventional PCB, and a new structure with pluggable lens was considered for a high-efficient passive alignment. The structure was a lens-added optical waveguide for the improvement of misalignment between the lens and the waveguide in the alignment. Also, as it had a barrier-type structure to prevent the surface damage of the lens by desorption, the high-efficient passive alignment can be realized. The structure was designed by optimizing the simulation and the fabrication process of the pluggable lens structure was conducted using the repetitive photolithography and the thermal reflow. The optical waveguide with the lens-integrated pluggable interconnection was fabricated by the imprint process using the polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) replica mold. Therefore, we confirmed the possibility of pluggable lens-added optical waveguide structure fabrication for high-efficient passive alignment.

Purpose: Polymerization of HEMA(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) which can be used in the soft contact lens has been performed by using electron beam(EB) irradiation, and examined the best condition for the polymerization. Comparing the physical properties of the contact lenses to the one fabricated by thermal polymerization method, we check the use possibility of the EB irradiation to the fabrication of the soft contact lens. Methods: We investigated the degree of polymerization of the HEMA according to the composition of the monomer, the additive ratio and the dose of electron beam (0~120 kGy). The degree of polymerization was measured depending on the EB dose to research the best synthetic condition under the EB irradiation. The physical properties of the contact lens such as water content(%), oxygen transmissibility(Dk/t) and optical transmittance were analysed by using the FT-IR results with comparing the two different polymerization method (thermal and electron beam polymerization) with same additive ratio. Results: When the dose of electron beam was above 100 kGy, the degree of polymerization of HEMA was above 99% with regardless using cross-linker and initiator. The water content of the lens fabricated by EB method showed 10% higher than the one by the thermal method which was 40%. The lens fabricated by EB method also showed higher oxygen transmissibility(Dk/t) as same with the water content, and showed twice higher value in the lens fabricated by pure HEMA. According to the FT-IR results, hydrophilic property of the lens fabricated by EB method was increased due to increasing the intermolecular hydrogen bonding. It showed above 90% optical transmittance in the visible range of wavelength on the contact lenses fabricated by the both of two different polymerization method. Conclusions: The polymerization of HEMA without cross-linker and initiator was successful above 100 kGy of EB irradiation. Moreover the lens fabricated from the polymer synthesized by pure HEMA with 100 kGy of EB showed the highest water content and oxygen transmissibility. Therefore EB irradiation is another possible method to synthesize the polymer which can be used for the soft contact lens.

The electron beam machining provides very high resolution up to nanometer scale, hence the E-beam writing technology is rapidly growing in MEMS and nano-engineering areas. In the optical column of the e-beam writer, there are several lenses condensing and focusing electron beams from electron gun with fringing magnetic fields. To achieve small spot size as 1-2 nm for higher power of electron beam, magnetic lenses should be designed considering their magnetic field distribution. In this paper, the magnetic field at two condenser lenses and object lens are calculated with finite element method and discussed its performances.

물체의 3차원적인 정보를 복원하는 일은 그 정보의 일련된 이용에 있어서 중요한 문제이다. 이를 위해 여러가지 방법들이 연구되고 있으며, 그 중 shape from focus(SFF) 방법은 영상의 초점이 맞는 렌즈의 위치를 찾아내어 렌즈 공식에 의해 초점이 맞는 부분의 거리 정보를 구할 수 있다. 기존의 이 방법은 초점이 맞았는지의 정도를 계산하기 위한 focus measure 값들을 카메라의 광학축에 수직인 단순한 평면으로 가정하여 그 합이 최대가 되는 위치를 찾아내었다. 이를 개선하기 위해서 focused image surface(FIS) 개념이 연구되었고 그로 인해 더욱 나아진 결과를 얻었다. 물체의 FIS는 카메라 렌즈에 의해 초점이 맞게된 물체의 점들의 집합으로 이루어진 공간상의 면이다. 기하광학에 의해 물체의 모양과 FIS 상이에는 일대일 대응 관계가 있고 FIS의 형태를 구하는것이 결국은 물체의 모양을 복원하는것이다. FIS 개념을 처음 적용할 때는 물체의 모양이 부분적으로 영상 탐지기(image detector)와 같은 평면으로 가정하여 3차원 공간상에서 가능한 모든 방향의 평면에 대한 focus measure를 구하여 그 값이 최대가 되는 렌즈의 위치를 구하였다. 그러나 이러한 방법은 focus measure의 합이 정사각형의 윈도우에서 계산되기 때문에 곡면으로 이루어진 실제 물체에서는 오차르 ㄹ가지게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이와는 달이 평면이 아닌 곡면에 대한 focus measure의 합이 최대가 되는 렌즈의 위치를 구하여 이전의 방법들 보다 정확한 복원이 가능함을 보인다.

최근 휴대폰에서 개인 정보 보안의 중요성이 대두되고 있으며, 이에 따라 생체인식 기능을 내장한 휴대폰에 관심이 집중되고 있으므로, 본 논문에서는 휴대용 기기에 홍채인식기술을 적용하기 위한 방법을 제안하고 하다. 기존의 홍채인식 알고리즘은 인식을 위해 확대된 홍채영상을 사용하여 처리하였고, 이러한 홍채영상을 획득하기 위해서 고 배율의 줌 렌즈(zoom lens)와 초점 렌즈(focus lens)를 사용하였다. 그런데, 휴대폰에서의 홍채인식을 시도하기 위해 줌렌즈와 초점렌즈를 장착하게 되면 가격이 상승하고 부피가 증가되어, 작고 휴대하기 편리한 휴대폰의 특징에 맞지 않아 사용하기 어려운 문제가 있다. 그러나 최근 휴대폰의 멀티미디어 기기 융복합 추세로 인해 휴대폰 내에 장착된 메가 픽셀 카메라(Mega-pixel Camera)의 성능이 급속히 발전함에 따라, 고 배율의 줌, 초점 렌즈 없이도 확대된 홍채영상의 획득이 가능하게 되었다. 즉, 메가 픽셀 카메라 폰을 사용하여 사용자로부터 원거리에서 취득한 얼굴영상에서 홍채 영역이 홍채인식을 위해 충분한 픽셀정보를 가지게 된다. 그러나 이러한 경우 입력 얼굴영상에서 눈 영역을 먼저 찾는 과정이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 얼굴영상에서 각막에 의해 반사되는 조명 반사광을 기반으로 휴대폰에서의 홍채인식을 위한 고속 동공검출 방법을 제안한다. 또한 입력 영상 신호를 디지털 신호로 변환하는 과정에서 밝기와 대조 값을 조정하여 동공의 검은 영역과 조명 밝은 반사 위치를 추출함으로써, 정확한 홍채 영역을 보다 빠르고 쉽게 추출할 수 있는 방법 역시 제안한다. 그리고 일반적으로 휴대폰에서 홍채 인식의 경우 손으로 들고 사용하므로, 손 흔들림에 의한 영상 흐림 현상이 빈번하게 발생하게 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 영상 복원 기법을 적용하여 흐려진 홍채 영상을 복원하는 기법을 제안한다. 마지막으로, 휴대폰의 경우 실외에서 사용이 빈번함으로, 입력 홍채 영상에서 태양광에 의한 영향을 많이 받게 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하여 홍채 인식 성능을 개선할 수 있는 방법 역시 소개하고자 한다.

The spherical glasses lenses are typically classified into two groups such as (+) diopter lens and (-) diopter lens by the refractive power index. The thermal deformation of a lens is occurred by external heat source and is changed respected to the diopter of a lens. In this paper, the thermal deformation of spherical glasses lenses were quantitatively measured by using ESPI (electronic speckle pattern interferometry) which has an advantage that the non-contact, non-destructive and precise deformation measurement is available due to the coherency characteristic. The temperature changes were measured by IR camera. It makes experiments over 14 types of the plastic glasses lenses. From the results, it was confirmed that the larger diopter lens showed the less thermal deformation in case of the (+) diopter lens. On the other hand, the thermal deformation of the (-) diopter lens was measured with uniform pattern when the same temperature changes were applied. Also, it was found that the thermnal deformation of the (+) diopter lens is less than that of the (-) diopter lens. Therefore, it is expected that when the thermal deformation is occurred to the various types of the lens, the variation of the focal length caused by the thermal distortion of a lens would be measured quantitatively.
