The passive ranging estimation techniques using a focused beamformer have been studied under the water. It is well known that the passive ranging estimation method using a focused beamformer is excellently evaluated. Among these, the passive ranging sonar is known to have a good performance under low signal-to-noise. ratio. However, its performance is degraded in multi-source environments. In this paper, we proposed the technique using dual focused beamformers to estimate the range. And when the sampling frequency is low, it is very difficult to steer the focused beam to the desired direction, as a result of this, the low performance occurs because of a distorted beam pattern. In this paper, we study the effect of sampling rate on passive ranging by using focused beamformer. And we verified the performance of the proposed method via computer simulation.

The focused MVDR (Minimum Variance Distortionless Response) can be applied for source localization in near field. However, if the number of sensors are increased, it requires a large amount of calculation to obtain the inverse of the covariance matrix. In this paper we propose a focused MVDR method using that beam space is formed from output of far field beamformer at the subarray. The performances of the proposed method was evaluated by simulation. As a result of simulation, the proposed method has the higher spatial resolution performance then the conventional delay-and-sum beamformer.

집속음장의 고조파성분을 이용한 초음파영상의 특성을 해석하기 위해 집속된 가우스 음원에 직선 edge를 초점면 및 초점면의 전, 후방에 삽입하여 edge의 후방에서 생성되는 음장을 조사하였다. 계산에서는 그린함수의 간단화를 위해 Fresnel근사를 이용하였고, 실험에서는 성형전극을 형성시킨 1.9MHz 요면진동자에 의한 가우스분포의 음장을 갖는 초음파빔에 수직하게 edge를 삽입시켰다. 음장의 이론해석 및 실험결과, 초점면의 제2고조파의 빔형상을 제외하고는 계산치와 실험치가 잘 일치하고 있으며, 제2고조파의 공간 분해능이 기본파에 비해 높음을 알았다.

The focal spot of electron beam depending on the anode angle in the structure and major parts of the X-ray tube was investigated by the OPERA-3D/SCALAR simulation program. The simulation worked on four spaces with with two spaces, including anode and cathode of X-ray tube, by applying the finite element method analysis. The analytical model and dimension for the emission orbit of thermal electrons made from one filament of the focused X-ray cathode is affected to the penumbra of detector for the X-ray depending on any real focal spot size. The model shape of focusing cap and focusing tube with an anode target angle and a cathode filament is analyzed by the current density distribution of thermal electrons. The focusing width of thermal electrons for the X-ray tube depended on the anode angle (${\theta}$). The focusing value of electron beams at a region of anode angle having $10^{\circ}{\sim}17^{\circ}$ maintained to below value of $70{\mu}m$. The minimum focal size of the electron beam was $40{\mu}m$ at an anode angle of $15^{\circ}$. The focused X-ray tube of many variables depended on the thermionic emission of hot electrons from the target trajectory. The focusing tube will contribute to the real design of X-ray for the development of future diagnosis medical device.

In High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment, effective localization of HIFU focus is important for developing a safe treatment plan. While Magnetic Resonance Imaging guided HIFU (MRIgHIFU) can visualize the ultrasound path during the treatment for localizing HIFU focus, it is challenging in ultrasound imaging guided HIFU (USIgHIFU). In the present study, a real-time ultrasound beam visualization technique capable of localizing HIFU focus is presented for USIgHIFU. In the proposed method, a short pulse, with the same center frequency of an imaging ultrasound transducer below the regulated acoustic intensity (i.e., Ispta < 720 mW/㎠), was transmitted through a HIFU transducer whereupon backscattered signals were received by the imaging transducer. To visualize the HIFU beam path, the backscattered signals underwent dynamic receive focusing and subsequent echo processing. From in vitro experiments with bovine serum albumin gel phantoms, the HIFU beam path was clearly depicted with low acoustic intensity (i.e., Ispta of 94.8 mW/㎠) and the HIFU focus was successfully localized before any damages were produced. This result indicates that the proposed ultrasound beam path visualization method can be used for localizing the HIFU focus in real time while minimizing unwanted tissue damage in USIgHIFU treatment.

Laser Lift-Off (LLO) is a process that removes a GaN or AIN thin layer from a sapphire wafer to manufacture vertical-type LEDs. It consists of a light source, an attenuator, a mask, a projection lens and a beam homogenizer. In this paper, we design an attenuator and a projection lens. We use the 'ZEMAX' optical design software for analysis of depth of focus and for a projection lens design which makes $7{\times}7mm^2$ beam size by projecting a beam on a wafer. Using the 'LightTools' lighting design software, we analyze the size and uniformity of the beam projected by the projection lens on the wafer. The performance analysis found that the size of the square-shaped beam is $6.97{\times}6.96mm^2$, with 91.8 % uniformity and ${\pm}30{\mu}m$ focus depth. In addition, this study performs dielectric coating using the 'Essential Macleod' to increase the transmittance of an attenuator. As a result, for 23 layers of thin films, the transmittance total has 10-96% at angle of incidence $45-60^{\circ}$ in S-polarization.

본 논문에서는 PDMS 프레폴리머의 전기유체분사를 이용하여 마이크로렌즈를 제작했다. 전기유체분사 시스템에서 인가전압과 기판 온도의 두 가지 변수를 변화시키면서 제작한 PDMS 마이크로렌즈의 특징을 파악하였으며, 인가전압이 증가함에 따라 마이크로렌즈의 직경이 작아지고, 기판 온도가 증가함에 따라 마이크로렌즈의 직경이 작아지고 접촉각이 커지는 것을 확인하였다. 제작된 PDMS 마이크로렌즈의 특성을 평가하기 위하여 가우시안 빔 투과 실험을 하였다. 측정된 초점거리는 계산된 초점거리와 5 mm 차이가 났으며, 렌즈를 투과된 가우시안 빔은 초점에서 최대의 파워밀도와 최소의 유효반경을 가지는 것으로 측정되었다.

Improvement of the radiation beam profile of a medical ultrasonic transducer has been researched in this paper. In order to improve the beam profile, a new transducer structure has been devised that includes both a shaded electrode and a multi-focus lens. For a linear sound source, the beam profile was investigated through finite element analysis, and then the optimal design of the devised structure was carried out by considering such performances as sidelobe level, focal range and beamwidth simultaneously. In the process, the optimal dimension of the devised structure was derived by using the ratio of the focal range to the minimum beamwidth as a performance index. As a result, the beam profile has been improved to have a lower sidelobe level at -20.2 dB and a consistent narrow beamwidth from 30 mm to 160 mm depth with the minimum beamwidth at 2.04 mm. Further, a prototype transducer was fabricated to have the devised structure, and its performance was measured and compared with the analysis results to confirm the validity of the devised transducer structure.

레이저 빔의 세기 분포를 측정하는 knife edge 방법은 레이저의 발명과 함께 시작 되었다. 사용이 편리한 카메라를 이용한 레이저 빔의 세기 분포 측정 장치에 비해, 진행 방향과 수직한 방향에 대해 대칭성을 가져야만 적용이 가능한 knife edge 방법이 지금까지도 사용되는 이유는 높은 공간 분해능(spatial resolution) 때문이다. Z-scan 방법은 렌즈로 집광시킨 빔의 초점 영역에 샘플을 두고, 샘플을 빔의 진행 방향으로 이동시키면서, 샘플의 두께에 비해 먼 영역에 있는 작은 개구를 통해 측정한 빔의 투과도를 샘플이 없을 때의 투과도로 규격화하여 나타낸 것이다. (중략)
