The new collimation testing technique of a white light beam using vernier Moire fringes of two line or circular gratings with different pitches is presented. We can visually measure the defocusing ($\Deltaf$), the divergence angle ($\theta$), and the longitudinal chromatic aberration $(L_{ch})$ of a collimating lens by using the technique. For example, we obtained $\Deltaf$= 21.9 mm and $\theta=0.0038^{\circ}$ for a testing lens with the focallengthf = 120.0 mm and F-number of F/2.4. The longitudinal chromatic aberration $L_{ch}$ of another testing lens withf = 65.0 mm, F/1.6, and the Abbe number V = 64.1 for the incident wavelengths of $\lambda_1=480 nm and \lambda_2=640 nm$ is easily measured by same technique. It is found that the measured value $L_{ch}=1.59mm(\pm0.01mm)$ is well agreed with $L_{ch}=1.58mm(\pm0.01mm)$ obtained by the autofocus method.

The optical performance of LLF(Lenticular Lens Film)-based backlight was studied by using optical simulation as functions of the aspect ratio and the refractive index of lenticular lenses. In order to perform reliable simulation, the BSDF(bi-directional scattering distribution function) of the scattering dots on the bottom surface of the light guide plate was obtained as a superposition of the Lambertian and the elliptic Gaussian distribution components by comparing the experimental results and the simulation for the luminance distribution on the light guide. Based on this approach, an appropriate BSDF of the scattering dots of the light guide was constructed. The resultant values of the optimized aspect ratio and the refractive were found to be 1.25 and 1.65, respectively. In spite of the hybrid aspects of LLF incorporating both diffusing and collimating functions, the optical performance, in particular the on-axis luminance of LLF-based backlight was inferior by about 20% compared to that of conventional backlights adopting one prism film. However, the combination of two lenticular lens films resulted in comparable luminance gain as well as smooth decrease in the luminance with the viewing angle without exhibiting any side lobes.

In order to improve the coupling efficiency, a collimator lens that collects the light emitted from the laser diode at a wide angle to the core of the optical fiber is essential. Glass mold method using a mold is widely used as a collimator lens currently used. Although this method is inexpensive to produce, it is difficult to form precisely and quality problems such as spherical aberration. In this study, the precision of surface processing was improved by replacing the existing glass mold method with the semiconductor process, and the material of the lens was changed to silicon suitable for the semiconductor process. The semiconductor process consists of a photolithography process using PR and a dry etching process using plasma. The optical coupling efficiency was measured using an ultra-precision alignment system for the evaluation of the optical characteristics of the silicon lens. As a result, the optical coupling efficiency was 50% when the lens diameter was $220{\mu}m$, and the optical coupling property was 5% or less with respect to the maximum optical coupling efficiency in the lens diameter range of $210-240{\mu}m$.

The best simulation condition for the fiber collimator that uses ball lenses was investigated. This kind of fiber collimator can be used in a Micro-Optical-Cross-Connects(MOXC). MOXC is composed of collimating ball lenses, micro mirrors and single-mode fibers. In order to design a MOXC, it is very important to calculate beam path, beam radius, divergence angle that determines the insertion loss of the MOXC. Since the beam profile from the fiber facet is not exact Gaussian profile, it was found that the simulation condition in which beam waist exists on the fiber facet, ignoring Numerical Aperture(NA), gives best agreement with the experimental results. Beam radii were measured with conventional knife edge method.

Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) is one of the most promising candidates for high density magnetic storages over 1 Tb/$in^2$ areal density. Since the precise light delivery to the head is a key factor to realize HAMR application, it is required to establish the light delivery using micro laser module and micro actuator. For the careful control of micro actuator, a laser module was designed including laser diode, optical fiber, collimating lens, and fabricated V-groove substrate. In addition, the basic aligning method between the laser module and HAMR head was studied by the detection of current change in photo diode due to the amount of reflected light from the head.

A photometric probe that can be immersed in liquid has been prepared by sealing a phototransistor with a collimating lens in a glass tubing water tight. Due to the directional sensing property of the probe, it has been successfully used in photometric titrations. Thus, when the probe is immersed in the titrand solution vertically and a light source is placed underneath the beaker containing the titrand, the relative absorbance of the solution can be measured without shielding from the room light.

A real-time OTF (optical transfer function) measuring system with on- and off-axis nodal slide bench type for the camera lens is fabricated and evaluated. It consists of a nodal slide bench including a T-bar for the OTF measurement of an off-axis object, two dimensional CCD (charge coupled device) with pixel of 9.9${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$\times$9.6${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ for real-time OTF measurment, and a collimating lens of focal length of 300 mm for the optimization of this system. The OTF system is corrected by using the OTF of a SIRA lens of fnumber of F/8 and focal length 50 mm. In order to confirm the reliability of the OTF system, two MTFs (modulus transfer functions) of CCTV & VIDEO lens (JAPAN, AVENIR-SE 2514) of focal length of 25mm and field of view 10.6$^{\circ}$are measured by the camera bench type OTF system of reference OTF system and the nodal slide bench type OTF system and compared with each other. As a result, these two values are agree well with each other within 4% from 0 1p/mm to 100 1p/mm.

Holography technology which was developed by Dennis Gabor (1900~1979) in 1948 is a technology to record wave planes of actual 3D objects. It is known as the only technology which can express 3D information most perfectly close to human-friendly. Holography technology is widely used in advertisement, architecture and arts as well as science technology areas. Especially, digital holographic print which is an applied area is greatly used in military map, architecture map and cultural asset restoration by printing and reproducing 3D information. Holography is realized by recording and reproducing the amplitude and phase information on high resolution film using coherent light like laser. Recording materials for digital holographic printer are silver halide, photoresist and photopolymer. Because the materials have different diffraction efficiency according to film characteristics of each manufacturer, appropriate guide lines should be suggested through efficiency analysis of each film. This paper suggests appropriate guide lines through the diffraction efficiency measurement of silver halide which is a holographic printer recording medium. And the objective of this study is to suggest appropriate guide lines through diffraction efficiency analysis of Ultimate 08-C and PFG-03C which are commercially used. The experiment was prepared by self-diffraction efficiency system which measures the strength with the defector by penetrating RGB recording medium and concentrating diffracted beams through collimating lens. The experiment showed Geola's PFG-03C which is a silver halide for full color has price/performance advantage in optical hologram recording, but recording angles and reproduction angles are irregular for digital holographic printer recording. Ultimate's Ultimate08-C for full color shows its diffraction efficiency is relatively stable and high according to recording angles and laser wavelength.

본 발표에서는 광학적 분석 시스템에 적용 가능한 발광소자(광원)과 수광소자(광센서)를 집적화시키는 모듈(수 발광 집적모듈) 기술을 제시하고자 한다. 이러한 수-발광 집적모듈은 다양한 응용 분야에 적용 될 수 있다. 예를 들어, 광신호 감지를 위한 광통신용 송-수신 모듈(optical communication), 의료/진단 분야에서 단백질/DNA/박테리아 등의 검출 및 분석에 관한 바이오 센서(bio-sensor), 그리고 대기(가스)/수질 모니터링에 관한 환경센서 등 매우 광범위한 분야에 해당되는 요소 기술이라 할 수 있다. 특히, 이들 분야들 중 바이오 물질을 분석하고 검출하는 광학적 바이오 센서 기술은 높은 경제적 가치와 산업적 성장 잠재력으로 인해 오랫동안 활발한 연구가 진행되어 오고 있다. 이러한 광학적 바이오 센서에서 가장 범용적인 방법 중 하나가 항온-항체 면역반응을 기반으로 하는 형광 검출(fluorescence detection) 기법이다. 이러한 시스템은 전체적으로 광원, 광학계, 그리고 센서로 구성되는데 기존에 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 형광 현미경의 경우는 민감도가 우수하다는 장점은 있으나 상당히 고가이고 부피가 크며 복잡한 광학구성으로 이루어져 있다는 한계점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 맥락에서 고민감도를 확보하면서 휴대성, 고속처리, 저가 등의 특성을 가진 시스템에 대한 요구가 갈수록 증가하고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위한 핵심기술 중의 하나가 수-발광 부분을 집적화 시키는 기술이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 바이오 센서 기술의 하나로서 형광을 측정하여 혈액내의 진단 지표인자를 검출할 수 있는 휴대용 혈액진단기기에 적용되는 소형 수 발광 집적 모듈을 개발하였다. 혈액내의 검출 성분의 양에 따라 형광의 세기가 변화하게 됨으로써 정량적인 검출이 가능한 원리이다. 모듈의 구조는 크게 광원(발광소자), 광학계, 그리고 광센서(수광소자) 세 영역으로 나누어 진다. 광원은 635 nm 적색 레이저다이오드로서 형광체(Alexa Fluor 647/발광파장: 668 nm)를 여기 시키는 기능을 하며 장착된 볼렌즈 의해 샘플의 형광체 영역으로 집광된다. 광학계는 크게 시준렌즈(collimating lens)와 광학필터로 구성됨으로써 샘플로부터 발생되는 광을 적절하게 수광소자로 전달하는 기능을 하게 된다. 여기서 광학필터의 경우는 기본적으로 Distributed Bragg's Reflector(DBR) 구조로써 실리콘(Si) 포토다이오드 상부에 모노리식(monolithic)하게 형성되며 검출 샘플로부터 진행되는 레이저 광(잡음의 주원인)은 차단하고 형광(광신호)만 통과 시키는 기능을 하게 된다. 따라서 신호 대 잡음비(S/N ratio)를 향상시키기 위해서는 정밀한 광 필터링 기능이 요구됨으로써 박막의 세밀한 공정 조건과 구조적-광학적 특성 분석이 수행되었다. 마지막으로 포토다이오드 소자는 일반적인 구조 이외에 중앙에 원형 구멍이 형성된 특별한 구조가 적용된다. 이것은 포토다이오드 구조에 변화를 줌으로써 모듈 구조를 효율적으로 응용할 수 있다는 의미를 갖는다. 또한 포토다이오드의 전기적-광학적 측정 분석을 통해 잡음 및 감도 특성이 세부적으로 조사되며 형광신호를 효과적으로 측정할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 최종적으로 제작된 모듈은 약 $1{\times}1{\times}1cm^3$ 내외 정도의 크기를 갖는다. 요약하자면 본 발표에서는 광학적 바이오센서에 적용할 수 있는 소형 수-발광 소자 집적모듈을 소개한다. 전체 모듈 설계는 최소한의 부피를 가짐과 동시에 측정의 정밀성을 향상시키는데 초점을 맞추어 진행하였다. 세부요소인 광학필터와 포트다이오드의 경우 잡음 및 민감도에 미치는 중요성 때문에 세밀한 공정 및 특성분석이 수행되었다. 결론적으로 독자적인 설계 및 공정을 통해 휴대성 및 정밀성 등의 목적에 부합한 경쟁력 있는 수-발광 소자 집적모듈 제작 기술을 확보하였다.
