This paper proposes a simple method to improve a sensitivity of a straightness measurement system for a linear stage, which is applied to a system based on a geometric optic method. An optical system for this method is composed of a corner-cube retro-reflector, a ball-lens and a twodimensional position sensitive detector (2D PSD). The effectiveness of the proposed method was examined theoretically, and verified experimentally using a prototype measurement system. The results show that the measuring sensitivity was dependent on the size of the ball-lens and the setup position of PSD from the ball-lens, and that the proposed method is efficient method to improve the measuring sensitivity.

Novel wafer-level fabrication of a glass ball-lens is realized for optoelectronic applications. A Pyrex wafer is bonded to a silicon wafer and cross-cut into a square-tile pattern, followed by wet-etching of the underlying silicon. Cubes of Pyrex on the undercut silicon are then turned into ball shapes by thermal reflow, and separated from the wafer by further etching of the silicon support. Radial variation and surface roughness are measured to be less than ${\pm}3\;{\mu}m$ and ${\pm}1\;nm$, respectively, for ball diameter of about $500\;{\mu}m$. A surface defect on the ball that is due to the silicon support is shown to be healed by using a silicon-optical-bench. Optical power-relay of the ball lens showed the maximum efficiency of 65% between two single-mode fibers on the silicon-optical-bench.

Optical collimating lenses are play a role as maintenance parallel light and as a kind of optical collimating lens, there is Ball lenses, GRIN-rod lenses, spherical lenses and aspherical lenses etc. but recently GRIN lens has monopolized a market. The performance of optical collimator depended on the coupling efficiency. In this paper, we were compared and analyzed to be measured values of coupling efficiency with respect to optical working distance using GRIN rod lenses and spherical lenses. In the case of GRIN lenses with a beam size of 420 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, the minimum coupling efficiency was obtained to a measured value of 0.15 ㏈ and in the case of spherical lenses was obtained to a measured value of 0.12 ㏈ on the same condition. In results, we found that a performance of spherical lenses be better as compared with a that of GRIN lens.

다시점 디스플레이는 관찰자의 위치에 따라 적절한 시점의 영상을 제공할 수 있어 시청자에게 입체적인 효과를 줄 수 있는 가장 실용적인 기술로 여겨진다. 하지만 대부분의 다시점 디스플레이는 평면 형태로서 시청자가 전방의 제한된 시야각 내에서만 입체 영상을 볼 수 있는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 시청 영역을 360도로 확장하여 완전 시차 시차를 제공하는 구 대칭성을 가지는 볼 렌즈를 적용한 광학계로 구성된 구형 디스플레이를 제안하였다. 제안한 시스템에서 각각의 프로젝션 렌즈는 소형 모듈화하여 어레이로 구성할 수 있으며 모듈 어레이를 볼 렌즈 주위에 구면으로 배치하여 수직, 수평 시차를 제공할 수 있다. 적용된 광학 모듈을 통해 볼 렌즈 내부 중앙에 이미지가 결상되고, 사용자는 디스플레이의 시야창을 통해 선명한 영상을 시청할 수 있다. 따라서 볼 렌즈의 구면 수차를 극복하여 넓은 시야 부피를 제공하는 360도 완전 시차 디스플레이의 실현 가능성을 실험적으로 확인하였다.

In this paper, resonant ultrasound spectroscopy(RUS) was used to determine the natural frequency of a ceramic ferrule and a ball lens. The ceramic ferrules are cylinderical shape with $\phi$ 2.56mm diameter and l0mm in length. Crack lengths of these ferrules are 10.40$\mu$m, 21.18$\mu$m and 32.35$\mu$m. The spherical ball lens was made of BK-7 glass, one's diameter in 2mm and 5mm. RUS system is consisted of spectrum analyzer, power amplifier, PZT sensor and support frame. The principle of RUS is that the mechanical resonant frequency of the materials depends on density and the coefficient of elasticity. Rus system is based on that given resonant frequency of the materials can be represented by the function of density and the coefficient of elasticity, and it is applied to excite specimen and to inspect the difference of natural frequency pattern between acceptable specimen and defective ones. Defect evaluation by RUS are performed to investigate the natural frequency measure of ferrule and ball lens.

Recently, the interest on micro optical parts has increased rapidly with the development of technology related to microsystems. Among the optical parts, micro lens is one of the most broadly used micro parts. To mass-produce the micro lenses, it is very effective to use the mold insert and injection molding process. There are many methods to fabricate the mold insert for micro lenses: electroforming, etching, mechanical micromachining and so on. In this study, we fabricated the mold insert for micro lenses using a micro ball endmill to apply mechanical micromaching method and analyzed the effect of main process parameters such as spindle speed, feed rate, dwell time on the processed surface. Then, using fabricated the mold insert we fabricated the micro lenses through injection molding process.

LAM (Laser-Assisted Machining) is an effective method for processing difficult-to-cut workpieces. The focal length of a LAM system is changed by the change of the workpiece shape during laser preheating; this problem is solved by changing the lens of the laser module. Linear- and rotary-type lens changers were developed to change the laser lens of a LAM system. The linear-type lens changer is operated by a motor with a ball-screw, and the rotary type is operated by a stepping motor. The natural frequency and structural stability of the laser lens changers were confirmed by using a finite element analysis; in addition, the functions of the lens changers were verified by measuring the iterative accuracy. The measured results show that the rotary-type lens changer is more accurate than the linear-type changer.
