We report high-speed pulse train generation from a relatively low-speed 10-GHz mode-locked laser by means of line-by-line spectral coding. To increase the pulse repetition rate multiplication (RRM) factor, we combine coding schemes for both spectral intensity and phase by placing a simple mask at the coder focal plane. The resulting RRM factor, determined by multiplying the RRM factors of the individual coding schemes, rises as high as 16. To verify the generated pulses, the optical spectra and autocorrelation traces are examined.

An aspheric microlens array to improve the properties of multi optical probes was designed and fabricated. To generate multi optical probes with good qualities, a microlens array with the minimum spherical aberration was designed by ray tracing. Using the reflow process, a master pattern of aspheric microlens array was made and finally with the ultraviolet-imprinting (UV-imprinting) method, the aspheric microlens array was replicated. The reflow condition was optimized to realize the master pattern of the microlens array with the designed aspheric shape. The intensity distribution of the optical probes at the focal plane showed a diffraction-limited shape.

이 논문에서는 미소진동이 인공위성 영상품질에 끼치는 영향에 대해 살펴본다. 지구관측위성은 임무수행 시 영상의 지상전달 등을 위해 다양한 구동장치를 가동하며, 이로 인해 미소진동에 노출된다. 이러한 미소진동은 광학탑재체를 가진하여 초점면(Focal Plane)상의 영상운동을 야기하며, 이로 인해 영상품질이 저하된다. 특히, 고해상도 관측위성일수록 미소진동에 의한 영상품질의 저하가 커지므로, 위성개발 시에 영상품질에 대한 영향평가는 필수적이다. 이를 해석하기 위해서 키슬러플랫폼 위에서 진동원의 가진력을 측정 및 그 동특성을 분석한다. 이 가진원은 임무수행형상의 유한요소모델에 적용하여 광학탑재체 초점면의 영상운동을 계산하며, 최종적으로 영상품질에 미치는 영향을 평가한다.

지구관측위성의 광학탑재체 내부에 장착된 초점면결상장치(FPA, Focal Plane Assembly)는 영상촬영시 많은 열을 발생하며, 최상성능획득을 위해서는 온도가 좁은 온도범위 내에서 유지되어야 한다. 초점면결상장치가 짧은 시간 동안 많은 열을 발생할 때, 이를 효과적으로 냉각시키기 위해 보통 히트파이프와 복사방열판을 이용한다. 이번 연구에서는 초점면결상장치의 최대상승온도를 낮추고, 영상촬영대기시 최적온도유지를 위한 히터작동율을 낮추기 위해 초점면결상장치와 복사방열판 사이에 열완충질량(TBM, Thermal Buffer Mass)을 적용하였는데, 이를 통해 얻을 수 있는 열설계 개선효과에 대해서 기술한다.

This paper describes the design, fabrication, and measurement of ROIC(ReadOut Integrated Circuit) for $320{\times}256$ IRFPA(InfraRed Focal Plane Array). A ROIC plays an important role that transfer photocurrent generated in a detector device to thermal image system. Recently, the high performance and low power ROIC adding various functions is being required. According to this requirement, the design of ROIC focuses on 7MHz or more pixel rate, low power dissipation, anti-blooming, multi-channel output mode, image reversal, various windowing, and frame CDS(Correlated Double Sampling). The designed ROIC was fabricated using $0.6{\mu}m$ double-poly triple-metal Si CMOS process. ROIC function factors work normally, and the power dissipation of ROIC is 33mW and 90.5mW at 7.5MHz pixel rate in the 1-channel and 4-channel operation, respectively.

Realization of electronics with performance equal to established technologies that use rigid semiconductor wafers, but in lightweight, foldable and stretchable formats would enable many new application possibilities. Examples include wearable systems for personal health monitoring, 'smart' surgical gloves with integrated electronics and electronic eye type imagers that incorporate focal plane arrays on hemispherical substrates. Circuits that use organic or certain classes of inorganic electronic materials on plastic or steel foil substrates can provide some degree of mechanical flexibility, but they cannot be folded or stretched. Also, with few exceptions such systems offer only modest electrical performance. In this talk, I will present a new approach to high performance, flexible and stretchable integrated circuits. These systems combine single-crystal silicon nanoribbons with thin plastic or elastomeric substrates using both "top-down" and "transfer-printing" technologies. The strategies represent promising routes to high performance, flexible and stretchable optoelectronic devices that can incorporate established, high performance inorganic electronic materials.

FPA (Focal Plane Arrary)를 이용한 적외선 영상 획득 시스템에서 발생하는 주요 잡음 중 하나는 영상에 존재하는 공간적 고정 패턴 잡음(SFPN, Spatial Fixed Pattern Noise)이다. 이것이 발생하는 주된 요인은 배열을 이루고 있는 각 검출기들과, FPA 출력단에 있는 증폭기의 입출력 응답이 균일하지 않고, 시간이 흐름에 따라 그 응답특성이 변화하기 때문이다. 이 문제를 극복하기 위하여 일반적으로 교정기반 불균일 보정 방법(CBNUC, Calibration Based Nonuniformity Correction)과 장면기반 불균일 보정방법(SBNUC, Scene Based Nonuniformity Correction)이 사용된다. 본 논문은 CBNUC를 사용하는 시스템의 FPA 출력단 회로에 구성된 복수의 증폭기에 존재하는 이득의 차이 및 잡음에 의한 불균일을 보정하기 위한 보간 기법을 제안한다. 실험을 통하여 제안한 기법이 CBNUC 기반 적외선 영상 시스템에서 발생하는 규칙적인 패턴의 SFPN을 효율적으로 제거하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 제안한 기법은 CBNUC 기반 적외선 영상 시스템에서 주기적으로 수행해야하는 단일점보정 (OPC, One Point Correction)의 수행횟수를 줄이고, 연산량도 적어 실시간 시스템 구현이 가능하다.

The holographic velocimetry system has a significant potential for the measurements of three dimensional velocities of particles. In this study, orthogonal two-side holography system was developed to obtain three dimensional velocities and sizes of spray droplets. To get high quality of reconstructed images, singe-exposure holography at two time moments and two orthogonal sides was adopted instead of multi-exposure, single-side holography. From three dimensional positions of droplets determined by reconstruction and image processing system, the three dimensional velocities and sizes of each droplet was extracted using the PTV algorithm. To determine the position of particles in the optical axis, a new focusing parameter was introduced based on the correlation between two droplet images at the same distance. The measured results by holography system were compared with those by the PDPA.

In this paper, the novel and simple scheme of producing full color image bye use of binary phase holograms and three lasers of red (632.8 nm), green (543.5 nm), and blue (488 nm) is presented. Three holograms are designed and fabricated separately so that different laser beams can pass through the different holograms. The diffracted beams from the holograms constitute the wanted color image at the focal plane. The theory and experimental results of the system are also presented.

We propose a Readout Integrated Circuit (ROIC), which applies a fixed current bias sensing method to the input stage in order to simplify the circuit structure and the infrared sensor characteristic control. For the sample-and-hold stage to display and control a signal detected by the infrared sensor using a two-dimensional (2D) focal plane array, a differential delta sampling (DDS) circuit is proposed, which effectively removes the FPN. In addition, the output characteristic is improved to have wider bandwidth and higher gain by applying a two-stage variable gain amplifier (VGA). The output characteristic of the proposed device was 23.91 mV/$^{\circ}C$, and the linearity error rate was less than 0.22%. After checking the performance of the ROIC using HSPICE simulation, the chip was manufactured and measured using the SMIC 0.35 um standard CMOS process to confirm that the simulation results from the actual design are in good agreement with the measurement results.
