In this work, we report on the characterization of six low-$T_g$ poly[methyl-3-(9-carbazolyl) propylsiloxane] based photorefractive (PR) composites sensitized with poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) in different concentrations, ranging from 0.2 to 1 wt %. At 632.8 nm, photoconductivity, space charge field, refractive index modulation, and grating buildup time were measured versus external electric field. The photoconductivity was strongly dependent on the visible light absorption and mobility. The magnitude of space charge field was affected by the conductivity contrast $\sigma_{ph}/(\sigma_{ph}+\sigma_d)$. The refractive index modulation increased with the magnitude of space charge field and the PR grating buildup speed increased with the photoconductivity.

Optical transparency and high diffraction efficiency are two essential factors for high performance of the photopolymer. Optical transparency mainly depends on the miscibility between polymer binder and photopolymerized polymer, while diffraction efficiency depends on the refractive index modulation between polymer binder and photopolymerized polymer. For most of organic materials, the large refractive index difference between two polymers accompanies large structural difference that leads to the poor miscibility and thus poor optical quality via light scattering. Therefore, it is difficult to design a high-performance photopolymer satisfying both requirements. In this work, first, we prepared a new phase-stable photopolymer (PMMA) with large refractive index modulation and investigated the optical properties. Our photopolymer is based on modified poly (methyl methacrylate) as a polymer binder, acryl amide as a photopolymerizable monomer, triethanolamine as initiator, and yellow eosin as a photosensitizer at 532 nm. Diffraction efficiency over 85% and optical transmittance over 90% were obtained for the photopolymer. Second, Organic-inorganic nanocomposite films were prepared by dispersing an aromatic methacrylic monomer and a photo- initiator in organic-inorganic hybrid sol-gel matrices. The film properties could be controlled by optimizing the content of an organically modified silica precursor (TSPEG) in the sol-gel matrices. The photopolymer film modified with the organic chain (TSPEG) showed high diffraction efficiency (> 90%) under an optimized condition. High diffraction efficiency could be ascribed to the fast diffusion and efficient polymerization of monomers under interference light to generate refractive index modulation. The TSPEG modified photopolymer film could be successfully used for holographic memory.

목적: 본 연구에서는 써클콘택트렌즈의 착용이 시력교정술을 받은 눈에서 시력의 질에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 시력교정술을 받지 않은 40안과 시력교정술을 받은 30안에 무도수의 써클콘택트렌즈를 각각 착용시키고 optical quality analysis system을 이용하여 변조전달기능(modulation transfer function, MTF), 객관적 산란지수(objective scatter index, OSI) 및 망막에 맺히는 상의 집속률(Strehl ratio)을 측정하여 객관적인 시력의 질 평가를 실시하였으며, 동공크기를 측정하여 객관적인 시력 질과 동공크기의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 결과: 시력교정술을 받은 눈에 써클콘택트렌즈를 착용하였을 경우는 시력교정술을 받지 않은 눈과 비교하여 모두 통계적으로 유의한 수준으로 변조전달기능이 더 저하되었고, 객관적 산란지수는 더 증가하였으며, 망막에 맺히는 상의 집속률은 더 감소하였다. 또한, 시력교정술을 받은 눈에서의 써클콘택트렌즈의 착용은 시력교정술을 받지 않은 사람에 비하여 동공크기에 따른 변조전달기능, 객관적 산란지수, 망막에 맺히는 상 집속률의 증감에 미치는 상관관계에 더 크게 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 결론: 본 연구에서 시력교정술 후 써클콘택트렌즈 착용은 실제 망막에 맺히는 상의 질에 근거한 객관적인 시력의 질을 저하시키는 것으로 나타났으므로 시력교정술을 한 경우에는 써클콘택트렌즈 착용하였을 때 시력의 질 저하에 대한 충분한 이해와 고려가 필요함을 제안한다.

In this paper, a dual-function dynamically tunable metamaterial absorber is proposed. At frequency points of 1.545 THz and 3.21 THz, two resonance peaks with absorption amplitude of 93.8% (peak I) and 99.4% (peak II) can be achieved. By regulating the conductivity of photosensitive silicon with a pump laser, the resonance frequency of peak I switches to 1.525 THz, and that of peak II switches to 2.79 THz. By adjusting the incident polarization angle by rotating the device, absorption amplitude tuning is obtained. By introducing two degrees of regulation freedom, the absorption amplitude modulation and resonant frequency switching are simultaneously realized. More importantly, dynamic and continuous adjustment of the absorption amplitude is obtained at a fixed resonant frequency, and the modulation depth reaches 100% for both peaks. In addition, the sensing property of the proposed MMA was studied while it was used as a refractive index sensor. Compared with other results reported, our device not only has a dual-function tunable characteristic and the highest modulation depth, but also simultaneously possesses fine sensing performance.

The effect of eccentricity on dispersion and nonlinear properties of a photonic crystal fiber having elliptical air holes is investigated using a fully vectorial effective index method. It is found that the effective refractive index increases with increase of eccentricity. The dependence of dispersion and nonlinear properties of the PCF on the eccentricity of the air hole is investigated. It is revealed that eccentricity of the air hole affects the zero dispersion wavelength. Further, the nonlinear properties such as mode field area, nonlinear coefficient and self phase modulation of the Photonic crystal fibers are analyzed. The mode field area increases and the nonlinear coefficient decreases with increase in eccentricity. The variation of the self phase modulation with elliptical air hole is also discussed.

This study was performed to evaluate objective visual quality and ocular scattering in myopic refractive-surgery patients, compared to emmetropes. Optical vision-quality parameters (modulation transfer function (MTF) cutoff and Strehl ratio) and objective scattering index (OSI) were measured using an optical quality analysis system (OQAS II) based on the double-pass technique. In all subjects, the higher the MTF cutoff and Strehl ratio, the lower the OSI and ocular higher-order aberrations (HOAs). The MTF cutoff and Strehl ratio for the laser-assisted subepithelial keratectomy (LASEK) group were lower than those for the emmetropia group, while the OSI, ocular HOAs, and spherical aberration (SA) for the LASEK group were higher than those for emmetropia group. Ocular scattering would be one of the important factors in regard to visual quality. Therefore, the quality of the retinal image in the LASEK patients has been shown to reduce the quality of vision more than in the emmetropes.

본 연구에서는 광학매질의 비선형 특징을 측정하기 위해, 자체집속현상을 이용하는 기존의 측정법과는 다르게, 매질을 통과한 광원의 위상섭동으로 인하여 far-field에 발생한 공간적 광장도 분포를 이용하는 far-field 위상 변조량 측정법을 사용하였다. 미선형 매질을 통과한 조사과의 위상 변화가 far-field 영역에서 나타나는 겅간적 위상 변조량을 실험적으로 측정아였고, 이를 전산시\ulcorner을 통하여 비교분석하였다. 파장 616nm, 펄스폭 106ps의 분포궤한 섹소레이저(DFDL)와 파장 308nm인 DFDL의 제2고조파를 조사광으로 사용하였고, 매질 $CS_2$와 $BaF_2$의 비선형 특성을 실험적으로 측정한후 이 값을 전산시늉값과 비교하였다. 이 실험에서 파장 616nm에 대해 $CS_2$와 $BaF_2$의 비선형 굴절률 $1.2{\times}10^{-11}$ esu와 $1.0{\times}10^{-13}$ esu를 각각 얻었고, 파장 308nm에 대해 $BaF_2$의 비선형 흡수계수 $5.0{\times}10^{-11}$cm/W를 얻었다. 이들 값은 지금까지 발표된 값들과 잘 일치한다.

We present a fast-switching electro-optical device based on flexoelectro-optic effect in short pitch cholesterics oriented in uniform lying helix texture. The device has two operating modes: amplitude and phase modulation mode. The amplitude modulation mode is a fast in-plane switching of the device optic axis that enables to achieve a high percent of modulation of the transmitted light intensity whereas the phase mode gives a continuous change of the refractive index and thus of the phase shift of the transmitted light. By using a small concentration of diacrylate monomer and selecting the illumination conditions we have been able to create a inhomogeneous polymeric network mostly localized at both substrate surfaces and stabilize the two switching modes.

In this paper we investigate the phase modulation efficiency in the electrooptic phase modulator using PPpinNN GaAs/AlGaAs W-type waveguide. The phase change is affected by the refractive index change taking place inside the depletion region. The behavior of the modulator can be understood in terms of two electric field-related and two carrier-related effects linear electrooptic, quadratic electrooptic, plasma, and bandgap shift. As a result, the phase modulation efficiency was measured about 34.6($^{\circ}$/V$.$mm) for the TE polarized light. The quadratic electrooptic coefficient R 5.82${\times}$10$\^$-15/($\textrm{cm}^2$/V$^2$) is Obtained ant the Phase efficiency Caused by the quadratic electrooptic effect is about 10 times larger than that from the conventional linear electrooptic effect.

An intermodal switch based on optically-induced (through optical Kerr effect) periodic coupling in a two-mode waveguide is described and demonstrated. A high power pump beam injected into the two modes of the waveguide produced a periodic modulation of the refractive index profile with a period of modal beat length. this causes an intermodal coupling of the prove beam. The operating principle was successfully demonstrated in an elliptical core two-mode fiber with a counter-propagating pump-probe scheme.
