It is shown that the optical system with Gaussian pupil e, diffraction amplitude distribution is not affected by the presence of residual aberrations. The case of spherical aberration is treated, as an example, and the complex diffraction amplitude distribution at the neighbourhood of the image point is described analytically by using a recurrence formula.

Most CGH programs use a model equation based on the diffraction angle. Therefore, if the diffraction angle is large enough, the image on a flat screen is distorted. To correct the distortion, we created the model equation from diffraction theory and verified it through experiment. We also suggest a design method that compensates for the distortion without changing the CGH program.

1)iscussed in this paper are the effects of phase modulation on the line spread functions (LSF) and MTFs of ;I binocular objective system. The binocular objective lens is made in Korea. It has rotationally symmetric aberrations. The LSFs and MTFs are measured experimentally. The phase modulation is carried out by applying phase retardation n on the aperture. The area where the phase is not retarded presents a double annular type. The OTF curves of phase modulated aperture are compared with that of unmodulated aperture. The comparison shows that there is the aberration compensation effect in aberration loaded system. Therefore the performance of many optical system can be improved without any loss of light energy by properly modulating the phase on the aperture.

With nonhardening fixer, dichromated bleacher and alcohol drying, the diffraction efficiency of over 71o/c has been achie'{ed for holographic phase gratings in silver halide emulsion. The swollen emulsion of Agfa 8E75 HD film is identified by scanning electron microscope (SEM) after chemical processing. Dichromated bleacher and rapid dehydration using alcohol drying make a strong modulation so that diffraction efficiency is. increased over 20%. The principal characteristic parameters in coupled wave theory are investigated and new modified parameter values are presented by computer simulation. Controlling the emulsion thickness has an important role as a potential source for high diffraction efficiency.ciency.

1961년에 비선형 광학이 시작된$^{(1)}$ 이후로 비선형 광학의 큰 응용 잠재성 때문에 많은 비선형 광학 결정이 개발되어 왔고, 현재도 많은 연구실에서 제조 및 연구되고 있다. 일단 결정이 만들어지면 결정축(X,Y,Z축)이 파악되어야 모든 연구나 응용이 가능하다. 이러한 결정축의 측정은 X선, 중성자, 또는 전자를 이용하는 회절 방법을 통하여 가능하며, 이 중 X선회절 장비가 가장 많이 쓰인다.$^{(2 4)}$ 그러나 이러한 장비들은 값이 워낙 비싸서, 결정축 측정외에 그다지 쓸모가 없는 비선형 광학 물질 제조 연구실이나 광학 연구실에서는 이 장비를 구입하기가 다소 어려운 것이 현실이다. 더구나 이 방법은 해석이 복잡하다는 단점이 있다.

아조벤젠 그룹의 trans-cis-trans photo isomerization 특성에 의한 광배향 (photoinduced orientation) 성질을 이용하여 아조벤젠이 함유된 폴리머박막에 표면 부조 격자 (surface relief grating)를 만드는 것은 널리 알려져 있다. 특히 최근 들어, 비선형 물질의 주기적인 배열 구조를 만들기 위해서 surface relief grating을 corona poling 하는 방법들이 연구되어 지고 있다. poling된 surface relief grating은 poling 방향으로의 azo분자의 극질서가 유도되기 때문에, $C_{{\infty}v}$점대칭을 가지는 비등방 회절 격자(anisotropic grating)가 되며 2차 비선형 특성 중의 하나인 선형 전기 광학 효과를 나타낼 수 있다.

This paper reports a slim mobile lens design using a hybrid refractive/diffractive optical element. Conventionally a wide field of view (FOV) camera-lens design adopts a retrofocus type having a negative (-) lens at the forefront, so that it improves in imaging performance over the wide FOV, but with the sacrifice of longer total track length (TTL). However, we chose a telephoto type as a baseline design layout having a positive (+) lens at the forefront, to achieving slimness, based on the specification analysis of 23 reported optical designs. Following preliminary optimization of a baseline design and aberration analysis based on Zernike-polynomial decomposition, we applied a hybrid refractive/diffractive element to effectively reduce the residual chromatic spherical aberration. The optimized optical design consists of 6 optical elements, including one hybrid element. It results in a very slim telephoto ratio of 1.7, having an f-number of 2.0, FOV of 90°, effective focal length of 2.23 mm, and TTL of 3.7 mm. Compared to a comparable conventional lens design with no hybrid elements, the hybrid design improved the value of the modulation transfer function (MTF) at a spatial frequency of 180 cycles/mm from 63% to 71-73% at zero field (0 F), and about 2-3% at 0.5, 0.7, and 0.9 fields. It was also found that a design with a hybrid lens with only two diffraction zones at the stop achieved the same performance improvement.

The possibility of replacing the condensing-prism film used in conventional backlight units with a light-guide plate engraved with a submicrometer-periodic diffraction grating was investigated. The optimal period for the diffraction grating was determined through simulation and experiment, and the transmission-mode efficiency of the diffraction grating was calculated in terms of the polar angle and azimuthal angle of the incident light. In addition, the effects of the two methods of optimizing the polar angle and the directional angle were compared by simulation, by suggesting the shape and configuration of the light-guide plate, so that more light could be extracted by diffraction. By using a ray-tracing program, the luminance angular distribution of the light-guide plate engraved with the diffraction grating was calculated and compared to the luminance angular distribution for each actual prototype.
