An off-axis integral floating system using a concave mirror is analyzed to resolve the image distortion incurred by the off-axis optical arrangement. The concave mirror can be adopted as the floating device to improve the optical efficiency. The image distortion due to the tilting axis of the concave mirror needs to be analyzed precisely to generate the pre-distortion image. In this paper, we calculate the image deformation in the off-axis structure of the concave mirror using the geometrical optics. Using the calculation results, the compensated elemental image can be generated for the pre-distortion integrated image, which can be projected to the floating 3D image without image distortion. The basic experiments of the off-axis integral floating are presented to prove and verify the proposal.

In this paper, we consider the problem of finding the depth of a object in two images taken with cameras. For solving this problem, we introduce a spherical concave mirror model. First, a virtual concave mirror is assumed, and then a scene is obtained by camera at two different position which are on the surface of the mirror. The depth of object is calculated from two scenes by using the spherical-mirror equation. The algorithm has been tested on a real scene containing several objects, and showed that it is more useful for farther object.

Varied-line spacing concave grating을 이용하여 결상면에서 거의 균일한 분해능을 갖는 평면결상 극자외선 분광기를 설계하엿다. 레이저-프라즈마에서 복사되는 발산광의 집속과 분광기의 수차보정을 위해 toroidal mirror를 사용하였고, 비축광선에 의한 수차를 줄이기 위해 toroidal mirror와 회절격자 사이에 10$\mu \textrm m \times2$mm크기의 입사슬릿을 두었다. 평면결상이 가능한 파장영역은 50~300$\AA$이고, 계산된 분해능은 4000이상이다. 회절격자의 효율과 toroidal mirror에서의 반사율을 고려하면 복사 에너지의 집속도는 toroidal mirror를 사용하지 않았을 때보다 3.5배 증가하고, fluorescence는 파장 100.angs.에서 1000배 이상 증가했다.

A spherical surface referenced Shack-Hartmann method is studied for inspecting machining accuracy of large concave mirror This method is so strong to the vibration environment for using as an on-machine inspection system during polishing process of large optics comparing with the interferometry. The measuring uncertainty of the system is shown as less than p-v 150 m. On-machine measured surface profile data with this method is used for feed back control of the polishing time or depth to improve the surface profile accuracy of large concave mirror. Also, the spherical surface referenced Shack-Hartmann method is useful for measuring aspheric such as parabolic or hyperbolic surface profile, comparing that the interferomehy needs a special null lens, which is to be a reference and difficult to fabricate.

고주파 여기 방식의 슬랩 도파관 $CO_2$ 레이저를 제작하고 성능을 평가하였다. 실험에 사용된 공진기의 구조는 concave mirror 두 개로 이루어진 negative branch와 concave와 convex mirror로 이루어진 positive branch로서 불안정 공진기의 구조를 이루고 있다. 도파관의 크기는 40$\times$2$\times$400mm이며, 123MHz의 입력 주파수를 사용하였다. 혼합가스의 비율은 $CO_2$:$N_2$:He=1:1:3이다. 압력은 10에서 60 torr, RF 입력 파워는 100에서 900W까지 증가시키면서 출력을 측정하였다 실험 결과 압력이 40 torr, RF 입력파워가 900W일 경우, negative 공진기와 positive branch의 최대파워는 각각 50.7 W와 71.8 W, 효율은 6.5 %와 9.2%이다.

Several explanations exist about the usage of disk-shaped bronze implements in the ancient society. Some argue that they were used as mirrors, others suggest percussion instruments, and still others bronze ornaments. Differences between disk-shaped bronze implements and mirrors with multiple knobs are that the former have no visible design, only one handle, and a sharp curvature unlike the latter with smooth curvature. The question is whether disk-shaped bronze implements excavated from Korean peninsula have any light reflecting function. To answer this question, I carefully studied the concave surfaces of disk-shaped bronze implements excavated from Goejeong-dong, Tongso-ri and Hapsong-ri sites. The main findings are as follows: (1) The concave sides of the disk-shaped bronze implements excavated from Goejeong-dong and Tongso-ri sites were highly polished, and they were as reflective as bronze mirrors. (2) The concave side of the disk-shaped bronze implement from Hapsong-ri site was unpolished, and it was different from bronze mirrors. (3) As for the convex sides of the disk-shaped bronze implements, they did not appear to have been polished with care. Considering the above findings, the disk-shaped bronze implements excavated from Goejeong-dong and Tongso-ri sites belong to the stage where they could act as both mirrors and instruments. On the contrary, the disk-shaped bronze implement from Hapsong-ri site can belong to the stage where it lost the function of being a mirror as the result of maintaining only its function as an instrument. Even though disk-shaped implements had two functions, it can be considered that the light reflecting function expanded the role of a mirror with multiple knobs and the sound function helped the engraved round bronze implement to be converted into an eight-armed bronze rattle. Since it has been reported that shamans used bronze mirrors as percussion instruments in their performances in Korean peninsula and Siberia, I propose a reconsideration of the usage of mirrors in the ancient East Asia. Although the essential function of a mirror is to reflect light, other possible usages involving important functions need to be further investigated.

A polishing machine adopting a new unique structural mechanism has been developed, named as a swing-arm type polishing machine. The mechanism is such that the tool path tracks on a spherical surface, of which the diameter is adjusted by setting up the machine mechanism properly. It has a strong benefit especially for polishing axis-symmetric concave mirror surfaces. The swing-arm type polishing machine with 5-axes has been designed in order to polish a concave mirror surface lip to diameter of 2 meters. The drawings are made using 3D CAD and strain-stress analysis has been done by finite element method. AC servo-motor has been used to move the swing arm and a operating software has been developed using a LapVIEW tool. Result of the test run was satisfactory which convinces the usefulness of the swing-arm type polishing machine.

A new method for the catadioptric omnidirectional stereo vision with single camera is presented in this paper. The proposed method uses a concave lens with a convex mirror. Since the optical part of the proposed method is simple and commercially available, the resultant omnidirectional stereo system becomes versatile and cost-effective. The closed-form solution for 3D distance computation is presented based on the simple optics including the reflection and the reflection of the convex mirror and the concave lens. The compactness of the system and the simplicity of the image processing make the omnidirectional stereo system appropriate for real-time applications such as autonomous navigation of a mobile robot or the object manipulation. In order to verify the feasibility of the proposed method, an experimental prototype is implemented.

The proposed technique uses a combination of two systems, viz. a three dimensional stereoscopic system and a two-lens system. This novel combined system successfully produces a stereoscopic floating image in mid air near the observer. The two-lens system produces a floating image from the stereoscopic image originating from the stereoscopic system, and the two lenses eliminate the defects of the floating lens and concave mirror. The experimental results show that the two lenses eliminate the defects of the lens and the concave mirror, so that the proposed system successfully produces a touchable stereoscopic floating image.
