In general, such methods as interferometers or wavefront sensors are commonly used for testing of an optical system and optical components. In these cases, the surrounding environments are unlikely to affect the measurements. On the other hand, intraocular lenses of hydrophilic materials with special properties experience a certain difficulty in testing the optical properties. An intraocular lens is dried in the air, which causes deformation and changes the optical characteristics such as index of refraction and thickness. Thus, it is hard to measure the optical characteristics of an intraocular lens by using common methods. In this study, a special structure is used for measuring of the transmission wavefront aberration and effective focal length of an intraocular lens of hydrophilic materials by using a Shark-Hartmann sensor among the various measuring methods. As an application of this measuring method, this study shows a simple method to measure the index of refraction of unknown liquids with a plano-convex lens with a well known index of refraction. Also, this method is used to measure the optical properties of a plano-convex such as index of refraction and curvature by using a liquid with a well known index of refraction.

해석적인 방법을 이용하여 파랑의 굴절 정도를 예측하는 기법을 개발하였다. 굴절을 계산하기 위해 기존에 사용하였던 파향선법의 경우에는 파의 진행을 해석할 순 있지만 다양한 조건에서 발생하는 굴절의 차이는 설명할 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 굴절이 파봉선 방향으로 위상속도의 차이에 의해 발생하는 점에 착안하여 다양한 조건에서 발생하는 굴절의 차이를 설명할 수 있는 굴절수를 제안하였다.

We construct a four-level system where a metastable state is included in an $Er^{3＋}$ Doped Yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) crystal. Because of the action of the coherent field, the traditional light amplification with inversion can be exhibited with remarkable variation. As a result, we propose a method to achieve the gain equalization by atomic coherence. At the same time, we find that the high index of refraction accompanied by vanishing absorption can also be reached in this model. We also find that a higher index of refraction with zero absorption can be easily obtained when the coherent field is off resonance.

Using THz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS), the power absorption, the index of refraction, and the real conductivity of silica sand are measured from 0.1[Thz] to 0.5[Thz] frequency range. It is impossible to measure the characterization of the silica sand by simple electrical measurements using mechanical contacts, e.g., Hall effect or four-point probe measurements. However, the THz-TDS technique can measure not only electrical but also optical characterization of he sample. Also this technique can measure frequency dependent results. Especially, the real conductivity was increased according to THz frequency. This is unusual material compare with metal and semiconductor materials; the measured real conductivity are not followed by the simple Drude theory.

A new experimental approach is proposed to detect a specific polymer dissolved in a liquid. Distinctive optical properties were found using a laser scattering technique when there is a polymer compound with almost no difference in optical properties (index of refraction) in a liquid phase. The index of refraction, which determines the refraction of light, is obtained by dissolving PCL and PLA. The used samples are biodegradable materials with similar properties and dissolved in a mixture of Chloroform 7: Methanol 3. To predict the optical properties, a 632-nm diode laser was used as the light source of the device, and an integrating sphere was used as the light receiver. Although PCL and PLA had a similar index of refraction of 1.46-1.48, the dissolved PCL showed a relative transmittance of 43%, and the dissolved PLA had a relative transmittance of 34%. The difference in optical properties of the pure polymer compound in the solid state or liquid state is not significantly different, and the difference in the dissolved state in the specific solvent is remarkable because the solubility differs in a specific solution and is randomly distributed.

A critical angle method was used to measure the index of refraction of a solid medium when an air gap between the prism and the medium is present. The gap effect was analyzed both numerically and experimentally. Since the total internal reflection is severely disturbed by the large gap, determination of the critical angle and the resulting refractive index becomes ambiguous and inaccurate. By using an index matching fluid, we could determine the index of refraction with an uncertainty of ${\pm}2{\times}1^{-3}$ even when the gap is as large as 1 ${\mu}m$.

The influence of property difference in refraction index on micro PIV measurement of two-fluid flow in a microchannel was analyzed. The difference of measurement planes in two fluids would bring misunderstanding of the physics. The objective-imaging system for two-fluid flow measurement was presented, and the condition for measurement of valid velocity profile across two-fluid interface was derived. A micro PIV experimental system was set up to measure two-fluid flow inside a Y-shape microchannel. Under the conditions, three cases of two-fluid flow of glycerol solutions at different concentration (${\phi}$), e.g., (${\phi}=0\;and\;{\phi}=0.2,\;{\phi}=0.1\;and\;{\phi}=0.5,\;{\phi}=0\;and\;{\phi}=0.6$, were measured. Close agreement of experimental and numerical results was found.

A aspheric lens is one a key point optical element in the optical industry. The feature of a aspheric lens is not to have the spherical aberration. A aspheric lens is also essential element for high-precision and light-weight in the optical machine. Generally it have been used in a tailor progression an aspheric lens modelling much. In this study we applied a lay back-tracer using a index of refraction to draw a creative aspheric lens. And we executed a comparison experiment for refraction situation of shape and straightness experiment to inspect the drawn aspheric lens in this study

균일물질의 내부결함으로 발생되는 공기층이나 불순물층은 균일물질과 다른 굴절률을 가지고 있으므로 전자기파가 투과할 때 다굴절이 발생된다. 발생된 다굴절은 공기층이나 불순물층의 두께가 아주 작을 때 시간영역에서의 전자기파분석으로는 그 유무를 판단하는데 한계가 있다. 하지만 주파수영역에서는 다중반사에 의한 총투과율과 위상변화에 의해 그 존재유무를 판단할 수 있으며, 또한 Febry-Perot 이론에 의해 그 두께와 굴절률을 정확히 측정할 수 있다.

In the present paper, a new method is proposed for the measurement of the ice packing factor (IPF) of an ice slurry using the index of refraction. The purpose of the new method is to improve the resolution of the measurement and to increase its resistance to electric noise as compared to the standard IPF measurement technique that relies on measurement of the freezing temperature. These two methods are similar in that they both obtain a concentration of aqueous solution from measured physical quantities and calculate the IPF using a relation between concentration and IPF. We experimented and compared the two methods, whose results were also compared with results from the calorimeter method obtaining the IPF directly They are in good agreement (within $5\%$), which demonstrates the validity of the newly proposed method.
