Next Generation Space Telescope (NGST) is under design study for proposed launch around 2008. It will take over the task of Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and provide much more detailed information about celestial objects. Present large telescopes both in space and on the ground contain aspheric mirrors, called Ritchey-Chretien type. As the size of the telescope becomes larger and the optical quality is requested to be higher, reaching the diffraction limit, more accurate optical testing methods are required. However, there are few testing methods which can achieve the required accuracy for aspheric optics, and none of them has achieved it with certainty. The failure of producing the primary mirror of the Hubble Space Telescope to meet specification is a good example. Moreover, testing aspheric mirrors of large convex form adds the difficulty to extreme. In this paper, space telescopes and large ground-based telescopes are surveyed and testing methods for aspheric optics are reviewed. a method of testing aspheric convex mirrors is suggested.

In order to produce high-quality optical components, aspheric lenses have been widely applied in recent years. An aspheric lens consists of aspheric surfaces instead of spherical ones, which causes difficulty in the design process as well as the manufacturing procedure. Although injection molding is widely used to fabricate optical lenses owing to its high productivity, there remains lots of difficulty to determine appropriate mold design factors and injection molding parameters. In the injection molding fields, computer simulation has been effectively applied to analyze processes based on the shell analysis so far. Considering the geometry of optical lenses, a full-3d simulation based on solid elements has been reported as a reliable approach. The present work covers three-dimensional injection molding simulation and relevant deformation analysis of an injection molded plastic lens based on 3d solid elements. Numerical analyses have been applied to the injection molding processes of three aspheric lenses for an image sensing module of a mobile phone. The reliability of the proposed approach has been verified in comparison with the experimental results.

This paper describs about the technique of ultra-precision machining for an infrared(IR) camera aspheric mirror. A 200 mm diameter aspheric mirror was fabricated by SPDTM(Single Point Diamond Turning Machine). Aluminum alloy as mirror substrates is known to be easily machined, but not polishable due to its ductility. Aspheric large reflector without a polishing process, the surface roughness of 5 nm Ra, and the form error of ${\lambda}/2\;({\lambda}=632.8\;nm)$ for reference curved surface 200 mm has been required. The purpose of this research is to find the optimum machining conditions for cutting reflector using Al6061-T651 and apply the SPDTM technique to the manufacturing of ultra precision optical components of Al-alloy aspheric reflector. The cutting force and the surface roughness are measured according to each cutting conditions feed rate, depth of cut and cutting speed, using diamond turning machine to perform cutting processing. As a result, the surface roughness is good when feed rate is 1mm/min, depth of cut $4{\mu}m$ and cutting speed is 220 m/min. We could machined the primary mirror for IR camera in diamond machine with a surface roughness within $0.483{\mu}m$ Rt on aspheric.

목적: 본 연구는 구면과 비구면 디자인 RGP렌즈를 착용하여 선호도와 경험적 피팅의 효용성을 비교하기 위해 시행하였다. 방법: 건강한 대학생 37명을 대상으로 우안에는 직경 9.3 mm의 구면 디자인, 좌안에는 직경 9.6 mm의 비구면 디자인렌즈로 피팅하였다. 경험적 피팅(on-K 피팅, 평균 K값-0.5D(또는 -1.0D) 피팅, 제조회사 가이드라인)의 베이스커브를 진단 피팅의 베이스커브와 비교하였다. 두 디자인 렌즈의 선호도와 피팅 형태(안검부착 피팅과 안검 사이 피팅)를 피팅 후 2주일에 조사하였다. 결과: 33명의 성공적인 RGP렌즈 착용자 중 구면 디자인 선호자는 76% 인 반면, 비구면 디자인 선호자는 24%로 나타났다. 안검 부착 피팅이 구면 디자인에서 67%이었고 비구면 디자인 에서는 64% 이었다. 진단 피팅과 비교하여 ${\pm}$0.50D이내 베이스커브의 수용할 수 있는 피팅 성공률은 구면 디자인 의 경우 on-K 피팅은 97%이고, 평균 K값-0.5D 피팅은 100%, 제조회사 가이드라인 피팅도 100%를 보였으나 비구면 디자인은 ${\pm}$0.50D 이내 베이스커브에 피팅이 되는 경우가 On-K 피팅은 91%, 평균 K값-1.0D 피팅은 79%, 제조 회사 가이드라인 피팅도 94%로 나타났다. 결론: 비구면 디자인의 시장 규모가 클지라도 여전히 검사 대상자들은 구면을 더 선호하였다. 경험적 피팅 중에서도 평균 K값-0.5D 피팅과 제조회사 가이드라인 피팅은 구면디자인에서 가장 적합한 피팅 방법일 수 있지만 비구면 디자인은 경험적 피팅 방법이 수용되기 어려운 것으로 나타났다.

결합효율이 높고 정렬오차 발생 시 결합효율의 저하가 작은 광통신용 비구면 렌즈 시준기를 설계하였다. 비구면 시준 렌즈는 GRIN 렌즈와 작동거리와 두께가 유사하고 외경이 동일한 원통형 막대 형태로 설계해 GRIN 렌즈를 대체할 수 있도록 하였다. 결합효율의 저하는 시준렌즈의 구면수차에 의해 주요하게 발생하므로, 비구면 렌즈 시준기가 볼 렌즈, GRIN 렌즈 및 C-렌즈 시준기보다 높은 결합효율을 가지도록 비구면 계수를 최적화 해 구면수차를 낮추었다. 설계한 비구면 렌즈 시준기의 결합효율은 기존 시준기들보다 높았으며 정렬오차에 따른 결합효율의 감소도 작았다.

Aspheric glass lenses have many optical advantages, for glass have superior optical performance and an aspheric form can reduce optical aberrations. Recently, the use of it is rapidly expanding as the mass production becomes possible by glass molding press and so this method is considered as the best method for fabricating an aspheric glass lens, but it is difficult to control many parameters for pressing and cooling process. Design of experiments (DOE) is a very useful tool to design and analyze complicated industrial design problems. This study investigated the pressing conditions to mold aspheric glass lenses for mega pixel phone camera module using DOE method. We have applied fractional factorial design and the response variable was set form accuracy (PV) of aspheric surface of molded lens. The results of analysis indicates that all factors expect for pressing force of each step are available for the form accuracy (PV). It was the optimum condition of the designed pressing conditions for lowering the form accuracy(PV) value of molded lens that all factors were at the low level. The form accuracy (PV) of mold and molded lens under the optimum condition are $0.85\;{\mu}m$ and $0.922\;{\mu}m$ respectively.

A 110 mm diameter aspheric metal secondary mirror for a test model of an earth observation satellite camera was fabricated by ultra-precision single point diamond turning (SPDT). Aluminum alloy for mirror substrates is known to be easily machinable, but not polishable due to its ductility. A harder material, Ni, is usually electrolessly coated on an Al substrate to increase the surface hardness for optical polishing. Aspheric metal secondary mirror without a conventional polishing process, the surface roughness of Ra=10nm, and the form error of $Ra={\lambda}/12({\lambda}=632nm)$ has been required. The purpose of this research is to find the optimum machining conditions for reflector cutting of electroless-Ni coated Al alloy and apply the SPDT technique to the manufacturing of ultra precision optical components of metal aspheric reflector.

There is a limit to technology of improving luminous intensity uniformity and glare, known as a weakness of existing LED lamp. Because of Using many LED, LED lamp not only waste energy but have bad effect on efficiency. Our goal is to develop security lights solution which is contented with suitable area in KS(Korean Industrial Standards) and to remove glare by combining asphere in optical system with different concept. To improve luminous intensity uniformity, a reflect mirror system was used after an aspheric optical system design for this study. We made a mirror and measured it after analysing luminance changes depend on aspheric shapes with simulation program to see if aspheric shapes effect luminance distribution. We made progress to find problems and improve them by comparing measured data and analysed data. This result of the study will contribute to industry of LED lighting through developing solution of emotional illumination of LED security lights by knowing the importance of reflectivity with this study and improving luminous intensity uniformity with solving the problem.
