Solar daylighting system provides free and comfort lighting, but its design and control has been key issue due to heavy light collecting system. One of the solutions for the heavy weight issues would be using a light framed film such as fresnel and prism lens. This prototype system consists of light collector, light transformer and light guide luminaire. The light collector which is installed at window or the rooftop concentrates solar light, the collected beam is converted to suitable light by the light transformer. and the prism light guide luminaire has been used to distribute light emitted from light transformer for illumination. In this paper, the design concept and performance of light collector in this prototype system are presented.

Purpose: This paper is about development and design of the 1x optical path relay adapter for the beam splitting prism by us the day & night scope. Methods: To product the day & night scope by using the beam splitting prism and the commercial zoom optical system with the C-mount lens barrel structure, the optical path relay adapter, which doesn't change the image size of the zoom optical system and can stretch the position of the image-forming surface, is needed. We could design the 1x optical path relay adapter by using the CodeV program in which the Lens Module mode is offered. Results: We could design the optical path relay adapter used in the day&night scope with the beam splitting prism, of which characteristics have the EFL of -56.0 mm, the magnification of +1.0x, the distance from the 1st lens surface to the last lens surface of about 20.4 mm. The resolution of this system is characterized by 30 lp/mm at 40% MTF. This is enough to accommodate the designed optical path relay adapter can overcome the resolution of the 3rd generation of image intesifier tubes. Conclusions: By designing and applying the optical path relay adapter of which optical characteristics have the EFL of -56.0 mm, the magnification of +1.0x, the distance from the 1st lens surface to the last lens surface of about 20.4 mm, and the resolution of 30 lp/mm at 40% MTF, we could develop the new type day&night scope consisting of the beam splitting, the commercial zoom optical system with the C-mount lens barrel structure, and the 3rd generation of image intesifier tubes.

In this study, it was investigated about the variation of luminance properties in LED backlight with geometrical shape such as prism or lens shape on the light-entering face. Generally, LED light source has the loss in backlight system because it has horizontal direction light. PMMA(Poly-Methyl-Meta-Acrylate) is used LGP(Light-Guide-Plate) in conventional backlight system. PMMA has low refraction angle. so that. horizontal direction light was not used in backlight system. The addition of geometrical shape in light-entering face in LGP improves the luminance characteristics because it prevents horizontal direction light generation in light-entering-face. Prism or lens shape in same pitch disposition was almost same without these treatment such as the value of 1% rising. Besides. It is particular that the gap of these shape such as the value of 0.407~0.22mm prevents horizontal direction light, so then it contributes luminance rising at 5.6%.

Fresnel lens is a kind of refractive optical lens with various advantages. It has nearly flat shaped optical lens that has small mass. Fresnel lens has number of applications in the compact optical systems. Recently, demands of high quality Fresnel lens for small size optical systems such as illumination units, compact imaging systems, display units, information storage systems, optical detecting units had increased rapidly. Conventional manufacturing process of high quality Fresnel lens is direct machining. However, it is not suitable for mass production because of high cost and long cycle time. Replication method can provide cost effective mass production process. However, there are various issues about replication of Fresnel lens. Fresnel lens has number of sharp blade shape prism. In the replication process, this blade shape causes defects that can affect optical efficiency. In this study, replication processes; injection molding process and UV imprinting process, were developed and evaluated using Fresnel lens that has maximum pattern height of $250\;{\mu}m$ and aspect ratio of 1.5.

Solar daylighting system provides free and comfort lighting, but its cost has been key issue due to difficult design and control of the heavy light collecting system. One of the solutions for the heavy design issues would be using a light framed film such fresnel and prism lens. Prism light guide luminaires have for some time been used to distribute light when it is desirable to have remote light sources. These systems are helpful when it is desirable to have fewer light sources, and/or to position light sources in places where lamp maintenance is easier, or electrical hazard is reduced. This proposed prototype system consists of light collector, light transformer and light pipe.

We introduce a method of color-coded illumination that is simple and fast. The purpose of this study is the real-time shape measurement of three-dimensional object by using color-coded information. The object is illuminated by a prism color spectrum. A color spectrum of a white-light source is imaged onto the object by illumination from one certain direction. The object is observed by a color CCD camera from a direction of observation, which is different from the direction of illumination. It can be evaluated by the red, blue, green using a inherence colors of hue value are good point.

An image-space telecentric lens for an intra-oral 3D scanner was designed and fabricated for dental application. Since a telecentric function can provide the same results regardless of image plane position, it helps to realize a more accurate image for an intra-oral scanner. The performance of the designed lens meets the required properties for HD resolution. In particular, lateral color is corrected within 1 pixel. This system achieves depth of focus of more than 3 mm. For user convenience, the developed system consists of a prism part and an imaging part. Both parts are optimized to reduce the front size and weight of the system. In order to make the parallax sights, parallax angle was determined to be 8 degrees between two optical systems.

Purpose: Even refractive error is perfectly corrected by glasses power, the glasses wearer can feel imbalance and uncomfortable by prism effects. The purpose of this study was to investigate subjective imbalance to vertical yoked prism in visually normal subjects. Methods: Visually normal 37 subjects (aged 20 to 31 y) were fully corrected by soft contact lens and worn vertical yoked prism, base up and base down 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 prism diopter(pd) at random order. A rating scale questionnaire was administered to assess quantitatively subjective imbalance to the yoked prism. The near phoria tests were done using Howell-Kim phoria card at 40 cm distance. Results: For the subjective response of imbalance, base up yoked prism was higher than base down yoked prism (t-test: t=4.67, p=0.00) in over 2 prism diopters. The frequency of subjects who feel imbalance by base up vertical yoked prism is higher for near esophoric group than for exophoric group. Conclusions: To reduce subjective imbalance caused by glasses such as dizzy, it needs to make the minimum prism effect, and base down yoked prism is more effective than base up yoked prism in prism effects.
