The laser interferometer system such as HP5529A is one of the most powerful equipment fur measurement of the straightness error in precision stages. The straightness measurement system, HP5529A is composed of a Wollaston prism and a reflector. In this system, the straightness error is defined as relative lateral motion change between the prism and the reflector and computed from optical path difference of two polarized laser beams between these optics. However, rotating motion of the prism or the reflector used as a moving optic causes unwanted straightness error. In this paper, a compensation method is proposed for removing the unwanted straightness error generated by rotating the moving optic and an experiment is carried out for theoretical verification. The result shows that the unwanted straightness error becomes very large when the reflector is used as the moving optic and the distance between the reflector and the prism is far. Therefore, the prism must be generally used as the moving optic instead of the reflector so as to reduce the measurement error. Nevertheless, the measurement error must be compensated because it's not a negligible error if a rotating angle of the prism is large. In case the reflector must be used as the moving optic, which is unavoidable when the squareness error is measured between two axes, this compensation method can be applied and produces a better result.

In this work, casting processes, such as filling and solidification, were simulated in order to accurately predict volume shrinkage defects in large-sized sand gravity casting. Turbulent flow of melted materials and a difference of solidification speed can cause volume shrinkage defects. In order to solve this problem and to understand the phenomenon, a porous filter application was studied. Two different porosities of 10 and 20 p.p.i filters were introduced into the gating system, and in view of the results so far achieved, the defect was dramatically reduced by 22%, compared to that without the use of the filter.

In order to cope with the requirements of smaller patterns, larger surfaces and lower costs in the fields of displays, optics and energy, greater attentions is now being paid to the development of micro-pattern machining technology. Compared with flat molds, roll molds have the advantages of short delivery, ease of manufacturing larger surfaces, and continuous molding. This paper presents the state-of-the-art of the micro pattern machining technology on the roll molds and introduces some research results on the machining process technology. The copper and nickel-phosphorous-alloy plating process, machining process technology for uniform micro patterns. micro cutting simulation and the real time monitoring system for micro machining are summarized. The developed technologies have led the complete localization of the prism sheets and will be applied to the direct forming process with succeeding research & development.

Laser Raman spectroscopy is one of the most powerful technologies for standoff detection of hazardous materials including explosives. Supported by recent development of laser and sensitive ICCD camera, the technology can identify trace amount of unknown substances in a distance. Using this concept, we built a standoff detection system, in which nanosecond pulse laser and nanosecond gating ICCD technique were delicately devised to avoid the large background noise which suppressed weak Raman signals from the target sample. In standoff detection of explosives which have large kill radius, one of the most important technical issues is the detection distance from the target. Hence, we focused to increase the detection distance up to 54 m by careful optimization of optics and laser settings. The Raman spectra of hazardous materials observed at the distance of 54 m were fully identifiable. We succeeded to detect and identify eleven hazardous materials of liquid or solid particles, which were either explosives or chemical substances used frequently in chemical plants. We also performed experiments to establish the limit of detection (LOD) of HMX at 10 m, which was estimated to be 6 mg.

본 논문에서는 RLD (Reflective Laser Diode)와 FBG (Fiber Bragg Grating)가 하이브리드 집적된 LD (이하 FG-LD)의 정적 및 동적 특성을 해석하기 위하여 대신호 시영역 모델링 방법을 구현하였다. FBG의 유효길이 2.1 mm를 포함한 외부 집적 공진기의 길이가 8 m인 경우에 0.44GHz의 동적 주파수 요동과 6.4 GHz 정도의 동적 주파수 요동 결과를 나타내었다. 또한 10 Gbps NRZ 신호의 아이가 크게 오픈된 상태를 잘 유지함을 확인하였다. FG-LD는 50 km 정도의 길이를 커버하는 10 Gbps 급 단일파장 레이저로서의 효용성이 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Diamond turning machines for manufacture of precision optics require deliberate diagnosis to ensure that all the machine elements are properly operating, kinematically, dynamically and thermally, to produce demanded work qualities. One effective way is to directly inspect topographical features of work surfaces that have been carefully generated with prescribed machining conditions intended to exaggerate faulty consequences of any ill-operating machine elements. In this research, a very-large-scale Phase measuring interferometric system that has been developed for years at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology is used to fulfill the metrological requirements fur the surface analysis. A special stitching technique is used to extend the measuring range, which integrates all the patches that are separately sampled over the whole surface while moving the stage. Then, the measured surface profile is analyzed to releated the machine error sources. For this, zernike polynomial fitting is used together with the wavelet filter and the fourier transform. Experimental results showed that the suggested technique in this study is very effective in diagnosing actual diamond turning machines

다중 모드 간섭 결합기를 소형화하기 위한 새로운 구조가 본 논문에서 제안되었다. N개의 입/출력 단자를 갖는 $N{\times}N$ MMI 결합기의 결합길이는 MMI 영역 폭의 증가에 따라 2의 급수에 비례하여 증가한다. 그 결과 많은 N개의 단자로 구성된 MMI 결합기를 설계 할 경우 소자의 크기가 기하급수적으로 커진다. 그러므로, 설계 시에 발생하는 문제를 해결하기 위하여 기존에 제안되어 왔던 MMI 결합기보다 더운 작은 소자크기를 갖는 새로운 나비형 격자구조 MMI 결합기를 제안하고 분석하였다. 또한, 제안한 소자에 대한 이론적 분석을 통하여 새로운 설계 기준을 제시하였고 수치해석적 결과와 비교 분석하였다.

We present the sensitivity calculation results for observing the Cosmic Infrared Background (CIRB) by the Multi-purpose IR Imaging System (MIRIS), which will be launched in 2010 as a main payload of the Science and Technology Satellite 3 (STSAT-3). MIRIS will observe in I ($0.9{\sim}1.2um$) and H ($1.2{\sim}2.0um$) band with a $4{\times}4$ degree field of view to obtain the large scale structure (${\sim}3$ degree) of the CIRB. With the given specifications of the MIRIS, our sensitivity calculation results show that the MIRIS has a detection limit of ${\sim}9\;nW\;m^{-2}\;sr^{-1}$ (I band) and ${\sim}6\;nW\;m^{-2}\;sr^{-1}$ (H band), which is appropriate to observe the large scale structure of CIRB.

In this study, we develop a three-dimensional (3D) terahertz time-of-flight (THz-TOF) imaging technique with a large depth range, based on asynchronous optical sampling (ASOPS) methods. THz-TOF imaging with the ASOPS technique enables rapid scanning with a time-delay span of 10 ns. This means that a depth range of 1.5 m is possible in principle, whereas in practice it is limited by the focus depth determined by the optical geometry, such as the focal length of the scan lens. We characterize the spatial resolution of objects at different vertical positions with a focal length of 5 cm. The lateral resolution varies from 0.8-1.8 mm within the vertical range of 50 mm. We obtain THz-TOF images for samples with multiple reflection layers; the horizontal and vertical locations of the objects are successfully determined from the 2D cross-sectional images, or from reconstructed 3D images. For instance, we can identify metallic objects embedded in insulating enclosures having a vertical depth range greater than 30 mm. For feasible practical use, we employ the proposed technique to locate a metallic object within a thick chocolate bar, which is not accessible via conventional transmission geometry.
