In this paper, a location identification for a cleaning robot using a camera shooting forward a room ceiling which kas three point landmarks is introduced. These three points are made from a laser source which is placed on an auto charger. A fisheye lens covering almost 150 degrees is utilized and the image is transformed to a camera image grabber. The widly shot image has an inevitable distortion even if wide range is coverd. This distortion is flatten using an image warping scheme. Several vision processing techniques such as an intersection extraction erosion, and curve fitting are employed. Next, three point marks are identified and their correspondence is investigated. Through this image processing and image distortion adjustment, a robot location in a wide geometrical coverage is identified.

It is well-known that the micro fabrication technology of micro parts are the high energy beam or silicon-based micro machining method such as LIGA Process, Laser machining, photolithography and etching technology. But, for fabricating complex 3-D structure it is better to use mechanical machining. This machining method by the mechanical machine tool with nanometer accuracy is getting attention in some field-especially micro optics machining such as grating, holographic lens, micro lens array, fresnel lens, encoder disk etc.. In this study, we survey the micro fabrication by mechanical cutting method and set up the mechanical micro machining system. And we carried out micro cutting experiments for micro parts with v-shape groove.

This paper presents the displacement sensor based on astigmatic method that has a small measurement range. The sensor has the characteristic that the measuring range is changed easily by exchanging a objective lens or distance between a objective lens and a collimator lens. The measuring range and resolution is evaluated by a laser interferometer.

The use of null optics is proposed as a new concept for the precise alignment of a confocal unstable resonator. The characteristics of the proposed null optics are investigated and analysed with the designed null lens for a real confocal unstable resonator of which the length is 3.5 m. As a result of the analysis, the pupil map data are shown about the despace error of 1.0 mm and tilt error of 1.0 mrad.

The Fourier transform spectra of a grating have been employed to determine the refractive index of a simple lens. The shearing interferometric technique is used for collimation testing of the expanded laser beam and for determining the exact focal plane. The slit attached to micro X-Y translator has been used to measure the distance between two sucessive diffraction orders in the back focal plane of the test lens. The experimental equipment is described and results are presented.

The PDP(Plasma Display Panel) barrier rib material on the glass substrate was patterned for fabrication of the PDP cell using Nd:YAG laser(1064 nm) which can generate the second(532 nm) and forth(266 nm) harmonic wave by HGM(harmonic generation modules). At a scan speed of 20 ${\mu}m/s$ with the second harmonic wave(532 nm) of Nd:YAG laser, the etching threshold laser fluence of the PDP material was 6.5 $mJ/cm^2$ and a sample(thickness = 180 ${\mu}m$) on the glass substrate was removed clearly at a laser fluence of 19.5 $mJ/cm^2$. In order to increase the throughput of the fabrication we divided a single-beam into multi-beams by using a metal mask between the sample and the focusing lens. As a result, 10 lines of PDP cell were formed by one laser beam scanning at a scan speed of 200 ${\mu}m/s$ and a laser fluence of 2.86 $J/cm^2$.

Using a single-line pulsed laser beam is well known as a useful noncontact method to generate a directional surface acoustic wave. In this method, different laser beam energy profiles produce different waveforms and frequency characteristics. In this paper, we considered two typical kinds of laser beam energy profiles, Gaussian and square-like, to find out a difference in the frequency characteristics. To achieve this, mathematical models were proposed first for Gaussian laser beam profile and square-like respectively, both of which depended on the laser beam width. To verify the theoretical models, experimental setups with a cylindrical lens and a line-slit mask were respectively designed to produce a line laser beam with Gaussian spatial energy profile and square-like. The frequency responses of the theoretical models showed good agreement with experimental results in terms of the existence of harmonic frequency components and the shift of the first peak frequencies to low.

An infrared camera and laser common-path optical system is applied to DIRCM (directional infrared countermeasures), to increase boresighting accuracy and decrease weight. Thermal effects of a laser beam in a common-path optical system are analyzed and evaluated, to predict any degradation in image quality. A laser beam with high energy density is absorbed by and heats the optical components, and then the surface temperature of the optical components increases. The heated optical components of the common-path optical system decrease system transmittance, which can degrade image quality. For analysis, the assumed simulation condition is that the laser is incident for 10 seconds on the mirror (aluminum, silica glass, silicon) and lens (sapphire, zinc selenide, silicon, germanium) materials, and the surface temperature distribution of each material is calculated. The wavelength of the laser beam is $4{\mu}m$ and its output power is 3 W. According to the results of the calculations, the surface temperature of silica glass for the mirror material and sapphire for the lens material is higher than for other materials; the main reason for the temperature increase is the absorption coefficient and thermal conductivity of the material. Consequently, materials for the optical components with high thermal conductivity and low absorption coefficient can reduce the image-quality degradation due to laser-beam thermal effects in an infrared camera and laser common-path optical system.

Recently image display devices have become large and high quality. To control the qualities of the component, measurements of the shape and thickness of a plate glass has been required. In order to measure the shape of the specular objects, Non-Contact Optical Sensor using Hologram laser unit was proposed. The sensor has a optical system that is composed of a Hologram laser and objective lens used for CD Player, and the sensor showed high performance for measuring the shape and thickness of transparent plates. In the sensor, the temperature of the sensor body is controlled by TEC(Thermoelectric Cooler). In this paper, we proposed the measuring method to make better performance of sensor using focus error signal of a hologram laser unit. It can measure the shape and the thickness of transparent objects with the s-type focus error signal which is generated by the sensor while it goes to the object.

In the semiconductor and the optical industry a new transport system which can replace the conventional sliding system is required. These systems are driven by magnetic field and conveyer belt. The magnetic field damages semiconductor and contact force scratches the optical lens. The ultrasonic wave driven system can solve these problem. In this paper, the vibration behavior of flexural beam in the ultrasonic transport system is verified using Laser Scanning Vibrometer. The experiments for verifying vibration are performed in three conditions such as in the maximum transport speed, in the zero speed, and in the change of transport direction.
