An experimental investigation with 2.8kW Nd:YAG laser system was carried out to study the effects of different laser process parameters on the microstructure and hardness of STD11. The optical lens with the elliptical profile are designed to obtain a wide surface hardening area with uniform hardness. The Laser beam is allowed to scan on the surface of the work piece varying the power (1600, 1800 and 1900kW) and traverse speed (200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000mm/min) at three different F-numbers of lens. After laser surface treatment three zones, In the microstructure have been observed : melted zone(decarburization), heat affected zone(martensite), and the substrate.

A fiber-coupled laser-diode pumped ceramic Nd:YAG laser for compensating the thermal tensing effect was developed. The thermal tensing effect was compensated using a convex lens, which was 25 mm away from the laser rod, with a focal length of 30 mm and an effective clear aperture of 22 mm. Without a compensator, the laser output power decreased suddenly above a pump power of 6 W. Using a compensator, the laser output power increased linearly according to the pump power. The beam propagation factor $M^{2}$ was 2.4 under a pump power of 12 W.

We generated a diffraction free beam from Nd:YAG laser with an NBUR (negative branch unstable ring) resonator. The field inside the resonator had a plane wavefront and a homogeneous intensity distribution and the output beam through a scraper mirror of an annular type was used as a source. The outpur beam had an inner radius of 2.5 mm and an outer radius of 5 mm. In this experiment, we used a Fourier transformation lens with the focal length of 5 m to observe the far-field pattern. The lens was placed at a distance of the focal length from the scraper mirror and we found that the beam did not show any noticable diffraction over the distance of 13 m from the lens.

Recently an optical diffusion of LED lamps has been studied actively. In this paper, the second lens applied to a cover of the LED lamp was analytically designed to having a wide angle distribution of light without diffuser characteristic by dispersing agent. In this process, We found a major factors that can help improve the performance of the lens. It is the refractive power of the lens, the Mie particle density of phosphor, and the arrangement of the LED. Through the final simulation, we can see the LED lamp is possible to get wide angle light distribution by proper source modeling and second lens designing. Also, we can see this simulated results are entirely consistent with measured data for light distribution. In this research, we present the shape of the second lens with wide angle distribution and derive the important factors for the second lens design.

We generated a nondiffracting beam and investigated its intensity profile on propagation. We first obtained an annular output beam from Nd:YAG laser with a negative branch unstable ring resonator and, using a 1m focal length lens, we generated a Bessel- Gauss beam. The inner radius of the annular output beam was 2.57 mm and the ring width was 0.145 mm. The intensity profile of the nondiffracting beam did not show any appreciable diffraction up to 33 m distance from the focal lens. This result was compared with the theory.

Recently, an optical disc system has been proposed using blue laser diode, high NA objective lens and groove only disc structure. A new method is needed to readout CD and DVD in this Blu-Ray Disc Recorder. In order to readout CD and DVD in Blu-Ray Disc Recorder, we adopted dual-lenses actuator in consideration of optical utilization efficiency, optical performance and insurance of sufficient W.D(working distance). This dual-lenses actuator has two objectives in radial direction, one is for CD/DVD and the other is for BD. We had to solve the induced problems of collision between disc and lens, DC tilt increase, AC tilt increase, 2nd resonance deterioration and AC sensitivity drop caused by disposing two lenses in an actuator. Also we developed high response twin- objective actuator with radial tilt function to apply high-speed BD Recorder or BD Player. Consequently we presented that two kinds of dual-lenses actuators for BD Recorder have been possessed good performance in 3 axis directions. And we measured eye patterns of CD, DVD and BD by using one BD optical pick-up with dual-lenses actuator.

The second harmonic of Q-switched Nd:YAG laser beam with gaussian mode is cut off by pinhole of a certain radius and its central portion passed through pinhole is focused by converging lens. It is confirmed that the shape of this beam in focal region is central symmetric but non-gaussian. Change of transmittance due to self-focusing is investigated by scanning (z-scan) $CS_2$ of 1 mm thickness in the focal region. It is found that the observed results can be consistently explained by Fresnel theory within 1.5% accuracy and efficiency of self-focusing depends on spatial shape of incident beam.

Recently, an optical disc system has been proposed using blue laser diode, high NA objective lens and groove only disc structure. A new method is needed to readout CD and DVD in this blue system. In order to readout CD and DVD in HD-DVD system, we adopted dual-lenses actuator in consideration of optical utilization efficiency, optical performance and insurance of sufficient W.D (working distance). This dual-lenses actuator has two objectives in radial direction, one is for CD/DVD and the other is for HD-DVD. We had to solve the induced problems of DC tilt increase, $2^{nd}$ resonance deterioration and AC sensitivity drop caused by disposing two lenses in an actuator. Especially, to solve AC sensitivity drop, we introduced two 2-pole magnets and separated focus and track magnetic circuits. Consequently we presented that dual-lenses actuator has been possessed good performance. And we measured eye patterns of CD, DVD and HD-DVD by using HD-DVD optical pick-up with dual-lenses actuator.

In this paper, the multi-camera calibration algorithm for optical motion capture system is proposed. This algorithm performs 1st camera calibration using DLT(Direct linear transformation} method and 3-axis calibration frame with 7 optical markers. And 2nd calibration is performed by waving with a wand of known length(so called wand dance} throughout desired calibration volume. In the 1st camera calibration, it is obtained not only camera parameter but also radial lens distortion parameters. These parameters are used initial solution for optimization in the 2nd camera calibration. In the 2nd camera calibration, the optimization is performed. The objective function is to minimize the difference of distance between real markers and reconstructed markers. For verification of the proposed algorithm, re-projection errors are calculated and the distance among markers in the 3-axis frame and in the wand calculated. And then it compares the proposed algorithm with commercial motion capture system. In the 3D reconstruction error of 3-axis frame, average error presents 1.7042mm(commercial system) and 0.8765mm(proposed algorithm). Average error reduces to 51.4 percent in commercial system. In the distance between markers in the wand, the average error shows 1.8897mm in the commercial system and 2.0183mm in the proposed algorithm.

Road lighting has emerged in importance as an essential system to secure safety and visibility for drivers and pedestrians. According to the Road Lighting Standards (KS A 3701), the luminance uniformity (U0) should be 0.4, the luminance uniformity for lanes (UI) should be 0.5, and a threshold increment (TI) of 10% should be satisfied. In this study, we conducted simulations using the Relux program in which the secondary optical lens was applied to a 21 W engine. Ten LED engines were installed on a two-way four-lane road, and the simulation result satisfied the requirements with U0 0.47, UI 0.63 and TI 8%. The U0, UI, and TI were compared with the angle of the LED streetlight varied in the range of $9^{\circ}{\sim}15^{\circ}$ with $0.5^{\circ}$ intervals. The range was selected as ${\pm}25%$ of the standard inclination angle of $12^{\circ}$ according to the Road Lighting Standard. The U0 was high and the UI and TI were low when the tilting angle was in the range of $9.5^{\circ}{\sim}10.5^{\circ}$. Consequently, an optimum-design of lighting distribution was obtained for the concrete two-way four-lane road when the inclination angle was $9^{\circ}$.
