We report the development of miniature fluorescence detection systems that employ miniature prism, mirrors and low coat CCD camera to detect the fluorescence emitted from 40 fluorescently-labeled protein patterns without scanner. This kind of miniature fluorescence detection system can be used in point of care. We introduce two systems, one uses prism+mirror block and the other uses prism and two mirrors. A large NA microscope eyepiece and low cost CCD camera are used. We fabricated protein chip containing multi-pattern BSA labeled with Cy5, using MEMS technology and modified the surface chemically to clean and to immobilize proteins. The measurements show that the combination of prism and mirrors can homogenize elliptical excitation light over the sample with higher optical efficiency, and increase the separation between excitation and fluorescence light at the CCD to give higher signal intensity and higher signal to noise ratio. The measurements also show that protein concentrations ranging from 10 ng/ml to 1000 ng/ml can be assayed with very small error. We believe that the proposed fluorescence detection system can be refined to build a commercially valuable hand-held or miniature detection device.

본 논문에서는 스캐닝 미러의 일종으로, 광저장 장치의 픽업헤드용으로 미세회전을 하면서 레이저 빔을 편향시키는 용도로 사용되는 미러를 제작하고 구동실험을 하였다. 제작된 미러의 크기는 $2400{\times}2400{\times}64{\mu}m^3$이고, 빔 스프링은 $500{\times}9.6{\times}64{\mu}m^3$이다. 니켈 전해 도금으로 29${\mu}m$ 높이의 구동 전극을 제작하였고(세가지 모델: 공기통로가 없는 전극, 공기통로와 간격이 각각 200${\mu}m$인 전극, 공기통로와 간격이 각각 100${\mu}m$인 전극), 미러판과 전극을 조립하여(미러판과 전극 사이의 간격은 각각 29${\mu}m$, 26${\mu}m$, 26${\mu}m$) 구동실험을 하였다. 공진 주파수의 계산간은 576Hz, 측정값은 3개의 미러에서 모두 568Hz이었다. 전극과 미러판의 간격이 최대 접근거리 18${\mu}m$가 되도록 미세 회전을 시켰을 때, 공기통로가 없는 전극에서는 공진 주파수가 524Hz, 공기통로가 200${\mu}m$인 전극에서는 544Hz로 각각 감쇠되었고, 공기통로가 100${\mu}m$인 전극에서는 그대로 568Hz이었다.

I present a novel curvature profilometer devised fur the profile measurement of aspheric and free-form surfaces on the nanometer scale. A profile is reconstructed from measuring the curvature of a test part of the surface at several locations along a line. For profile measurement of free-farm surfaces, methods based on local part curvature sensing have strong appeal. Unlike full-aperture interferometry they do not require customized null optics. The measurement accuracy of the curvature profilometer was assessed by comparison with a well-calibrated interferometer in NIST. Experimental results prove that the maximum discrepancy turns out to be 37 nm on the 28 mm measurement range for the spherical mirror.

A hot wall epitaxy (HWE) apparatus with double source tubes was manufactured. This apparatus can be used to grow two kinds of epilayers at the same time or to grow heterostructures and multilayers. Undoped ZnSe single crystal films were grown on GaAs(100) substrates byusing this apparatus. SEM, XRD and PL analyses indicated that epilayers had good crystalline and optical quality. The epilayers grown at the source temperature 660 .deg. C and the substrates temperature $350^{\circ}C$. in $2 {\times} 10^{-6}$ toor were mirror like and good quality. PL measurements show that the crystalline qualityis comparable with that of the ZnSe/GaAs epilayer grown by molecular beam epitaxy.

Resonator stability condition, $M^2$ beam quality factor, and laser output power are analyzed for two types of two-rod Nd:YAC lasers with rod-end curvatures. Two laser rods with rod-end curvatures are positioned closely to each other or placed separately near each resonator mirror. Experimentally, the output powers and $M^2$ beam quality factors of those lasers are measured with and without thermal birefringence compensation, and compared to numerical analyses.

Angle sensors based on the principle of autocollimation, which are usually called autocollimators, can accurately measure small tilt angles of a light-reflecting flat surface. This paper describes a prototype micro-angle sensor that is based on the laser autocollimation technique. The new angle sensor is compact and consists of a laser diode as the light source and a quadrant photodiode as a position-sensing device. Because of its concise design, the microangle sensor facilitates dynamic measurements of the angular error motions of a precision stage without influencing the original dynamic properties of the stage. This is because the sensor only requires a small extra target mirror to be mounted on the stage. The sensitivity of the angle detection is independent of the focal length of the objective lens; therefore, an objective lens with a relatively short focal length is employed to reduce the size of the device. The micro-angle sensor uses a single lens for the both the laser collimation and focusing, which distinguishes it from the conventional laser autocollimation method that has separate collimate and objective lenses. The new micro-angle sensor has dimensions of $15.1\times22.0\times14.0mm$ and its resolution is better than 0.1 arc-second The optical design and performance of this micro-angle sensor were verified by experimental results.

We present a three-mirror anastigmat(TMA) optical system for New Generation GOCI. In order to reduce the ghost optimized filter and baffle. By using carefully chosen antireflective coating and tilted filter angle, we fulfilled the design SNR requirement of 1500. We then designed a new entrance baffle and an internal baffle capable of producing the ghost ratio better than 0.01% of the nominal signal. The entrance baffle limits FOV to $0.75^{\circ}$ (E/W) $\times$ $0.60^{\circ}$ (S/N), and prevents the system from strong sun illumination, and the internal baffle prevents stray and scattered ray from entering into the telescope cavity. From these filter and baffle design, we confirmed that the instrument signal to noise ratio can be met with the current conceptual opto-mechanical design.

After introduction of operating microscopes and laser devices in the 1960's, monumental innovation for had been achieved in laryngeal microscopic surgery. The development of high-tech operating devices made the laryngeal surgery less invasive and more precise. There were long histories until developing of the modem instruments and surgical techniques. The simple oral mirror introduced by Bozzoni in 1807 is the beginning of laryngoscope. In 1859 Green carried out the laryngeal operation under direct view of larynx. The appearance of local topical anesthesia on throat had contributed to laryngeal surgery coming into wide use. Killian and Jackson made much contribution to developing the design of laryngoscope. After that, modem laryngeal surgery have been developed with development of the stabilizing holder of laryngoscope and optical devices. We propose carefully the direction of the development of the laryngeal surgery by historical consideration of laryngeal surgery and instrumental development.

To realize uniform side pumping of solar lasers and improve their output power, a solar concentrating system based on off-axis parabolic mirrors is proposed. Four identical off-axis parabolic mirrors with focal length of 1,000 mm are toroidally arranged as the primary concentrator. Four two-dimensional compound parabolic concentrators (2D-CPCs) are designed as a secondary concentrator to further compress the focused spot induced by the parabolic mirrors, and the focused light is then homogenized by four rectangular diffusers and provides uniform pumping for a laser-crystal rod to achieve solar laser emission. Simulation results show that the solar power received by the laser rod, uniformity of the light spot, and output power of the solar laser are 7,872.7 W, 98%, and 351.8 W respectively. This uniform pumping configuration and concentrator design thus provide a new means for developing high-power side-pumped solid-state solar lasers.
