In this paper, a study is conducted on the acceptable tolerance of an alignment device to reduce the optical loss caused by the alignment tolerance of a window hermetic optical connector. To increase the transmission distance of optical signals and fiber-optic communication systems, it is necessary to maintain and improve the high optical efficiency of the connectors used to bond optical fibers. In the case of the window hermetic optical connector, the optical system is aligned through an alignment device. At this time, since the two connectors are used together, each component is fixed, and further alignment is impossible. The alignment tolerance of the housing system and pin used to align the optical system of the connector causes optical loss, leading to serious problems in the fiber-optic communication system. Thus, to find the acceptable tolerance required for manufacturing the optical-connector alignment device, tolerance analysis is performed on the components of the optical connector, such as the ball lens and the window. We also implement single-mode and multimode optical-connector systems, respectively. Based on the results, we determine an acceptable tolerance value for the alignment device.

원자력발전소 증기발생기 전열관의 레이저 슬리브 용접시, 레이저 전송 및 용접상태의 광학적 감시방법을 개발하였다. 전열관 레이저용접은 용접 중의 레이저 출력, 레이저 전송 광학계의 파손여부, 광학 정렬상태 등을 정확히 감시하며 수행하여야 하지만, 작업공간의 협소함과 방사능 공간이라는 어려움 때문에 적절한 감시방법이 없었다. 본 연구에서는 레이저 빔 전송을 위한 광섬유 광학계를 그대로 이용하여, 용접시 발생되는 radiation과 용접 표면에서 반사되는 Nd:YAG 레이저 빔을 측정하여 레이저 및 광학계 상태를 실시간 감시할 수 있는 기술을 실험적으로 확인하였다. 실험은 Inconel plate를 시편으로 이루어졌으며, 레이저 펄스길이, 레이저 반복률에 따른 감시 조건과 초점확인 기능에 대해서도 논의하였다.

PMP(Phase Measuring Profilometry)측정법은 투영계와 기록계의 기하학적 구성과 광학계의 정렬적인 문제에 의해서 기본적으로 오차를 가지고 측정된다. 일반적으로 PMP 형상 측정에서 측정면과 광학계의 높이가 피 측정면에 비해서 상당히 큰 경우, CCD 카메라에서 높이 방향으로 측정영역이 작아지게됨으로써 측정위상이 기준면에서의 위치와 높이 방향에 따라서 다르게 나타나고 프로젝터가 측정면에 투영되는 간섭무의의 피치가 다르게 적용된다. (중략)

A new method is proposed for optimal management of the fabrication and assembly tolerance of optical systems. The practical utility of the method is shown by applying it to a wide-angle anamorphic IR optical system. In this method the wavefront error of an optical system is expressed in terms of Zernike polynomials, and the sensitivity of the expansion coefficients to the variation of design parameters is analyzed. Based on this sensitivity analysis, the optimal tolerances of the fabrication parameters are determined and the best compensators for the assembly process are selected. By using this method, one can accurately predict with good confidence the best possible performance of a completed optical system in practice.

Alignment of the mirrors composing a space telescope is an important process for obtaining high optical resolution and performance of the camera system. The alignment of mirrors using cube mirrors requires a relative coordinate mapping between the mirror and the cube mirror before optical-system integration. Therefore, to align the spacecraft camera mirrors, the relative coordinates of the vertex of each mirror and the corresponding cube mirror must be accurately measured. This paper proposes a new method for finding the vertex position of a primary mirror, by using an optical fiber and alignment segments of a computer-generated hologram (CGH). The measurement system is composed of an optical testing interferometer and a multimode optical fiber. We used two theodolites to measure the relative coordinates of the optical fiber located at the mirror vertex with respect to the cube mirror, and achieved a measurement precision of better than $25{\mu}m$.

The limitation of measurement accuracy and reliability of autostigmatic null lens system are studied for the cases of using inter-distance of null lenses as the adjustment factor of alignment and fixing the distance by mounting. If we investigate the first case, the wavefront aberration of null lens system is compensated by the adjustment process even though the shape of aspherical surface is not properly fabricated. As the result, it brings about the problem of measurement reliability. However, for the fixing process by mounting null lenses, it doesn't cause the reliability problem because the wavefront aberration of null lens system is not compensated. Further, the fixing process shows nearly same result in measurement accuracy to the adjustment process, that is, $0.0316{\lambda}$ vs. $0.0326{\lambda}$. So, we can conclude the setup for autostigmatic null lens system must be constituted by means of the fixing process. Meanwhile, we introduce and define the alignment aperture on aspheircal mirror, which can be approximated as spherical zone for alignment of null lens system, and besides, we calculate the required fabrication accuracy of the zone for the necessary measurement accuracy.
