  • Optical interferometry and polarimetry have separately provided new insights into stellar astronomy, especially in the fields of fundamental parameters and atmospheric models. We present: scientific justifications for "full-Stokes" optical interferometric polarimetry (OIP); updated instrument requirements; preliminary beam combiner designs; polarimeter design; end-to-end OIP data reduction; and realistic reimaged full-Stokes models of Be stars with a suitable number of telescopes plus noise sources. All of this work represents preliminary research to construct an OIP beam combiner.

  • The dynamic modulation transfer function (MTF) for image degradation caused by sinusoidal vibration is formulated based on a Bessel function of the first kind. The presented method makes it possible to obtain an analytical MTF expression derived for arbitrary frequency sinusoidal vibration. The error obtained by the use of finite order sum approximations instead of infinite sums is investigated in detail. Dynamic MTF exhibits a stronger random behavior for low frequency vibration than high frequency vibration. The calculated MTFs agree well with the measured MTFs with the slant edge method in imaging experiments. With the proposed formula, allowable amplitudes of any frequency vibration are easily calculated. This is practical for the analysis and design of the line-of-sight stabilization system in the remote sensing camera.

  • Three-dimensional (3D) refractive-index (RI) imaging and quantitative analyses of angiosperm pollen grains are presented. Using optical diffraction tomography, the 3D RI structures of individual angiosperm pollen grains were measured without using labeling or other preparation techniques. Various physical quantities including volume, surface area, exine volume, and sphericity were determined from the measured RI tomograms of pollen grains. Exine skeletons, the distinct internal structures of angiosperm pollen grains, were identified and systematically analyzed.

  • In this paper, we demonstrate a self-imaging technique that can visualize longitudinal interference patterns behind periodically-structured objects, which is often referred to as Talbot carpet. Talbot carpet is of great interest due to ever-decreasing scale of interference features. We demonstrate experimentally that Talbot carpets can be imaged in a single exposure configuration revealing a broad spectrum of multi-scale features. We have performed rigorous diffraction simulations for showing that Talbot carpet print can produce ever-decreasing structures down to limits set by mask feature sizes. This demonstrates that large-scale pattern masks may be used for direct printing of features with substantially smaller scales. This approach is also useful for characterization of image sensors and recording media.

  • 컴프턴 카메라는 컴프턴 산란현상의 기하학적 해석을 통해 감마선원의 3차원적 위치분포를 고정된 위치에서 찾아내는 신개념의 감마선 영상장치이다. 기존의 감마선 영상장치에서는 필수적으로 사용되는 기계적 집속기를 사용하지 않기 때문에 높은 영상 감도를 제공할 수 있으며, 다중 추적자 기능을 제공한다는 장점이 있어 차세대 감마선 영상장치로서 주목을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Geant4 몬테칼로 전산모사 툴키트를 이용하여 사용자 친화형의 컴프턴 카메라 시뮬레이터를 개발하였다. 시뮬레이터의 정확성을 검증하기 위하여 한양대학교에서 개발 중인 이중 산란형 컴프턴 카메라의 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 영상 해상도의 경우 선원의 에너지가 높아짐에 따라 해상도가 향상되는 동일한 경향을 보였으나, 시뮬레이터 결과에서 약 1 mm 정도 우수하게 평가되었다. 영상 감도의 경우 실험에서 2~3배 정도 높게 평가되었다. 이러한 결과들은 우연 동시반응에 기인한 것으로, 실험에서 획득한 유효반응들은 전산모사와는 달리 우연한 동시계수에의한 데이터가 상당수 포함되어 있기 때문에 영상 해상도는 상대적으로 저조하고, 영상 감도는 높게 나타난 것으로 판단된다. 개발된 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 새로운 구조의 컴프턴 카메라에 대한 성능을 평가하였다. 단일 산란형 컴프턴 카메라의 경우 산란부를 다층 구조로 개발할 때 4대의 산란부 검출기를 사용하는 것이 최상의 성능을 보이는 것으로 평가되었고, 그 이상 사용할 경우 성능이 오히려 저하됨을 확인하였다.

  • Ellerman bombs(EBs) are emission features at the wings of the H alpha spectral line. They are believed to be a kind of a magnetic reconnection feature in the low chromosphere or near photosphere. It was previously reported that surges often occur in association with EBs. However, previous observations were restricted to imaging observation. Using Fast Imaging Solar Spectrograph installed in New Solar Telescope at Big Bear Solar Observatory, California, we observed 5 EBs and associated surges with high-spatial and high-spectral resolutions. In this presentation, we will show the results and discuss the physical properties.
