Since the grating optical low-pass fillet degrades the resolution of images, we developed a hologram optical low-pass filter that show low degradation of the image and studied its characteristics. We designed the hologram that divides input beam into circular shaped 21 beams with a Monte-Carlo based hologram generation program and calculated its MTE characteristics to compare it with that of a grating filter. The hologram was manufactured through the optical lithography process and attached to a digital imaging device (Zoran 732212) for measurement. The moirfiltering is compared with zone plate images and the resolution loss is measured with USAF resolution chart. The hologram optical low-pass filter showed better characteristics in both moly filtering and resolution.

We propose a novel technique that records the horizontal-parallax-only (HPO) hologram of a real object using optical scanning holography (OSH). The proposing HPO-OSH is composed of a conventional OSH and an electronics low pass filter. When we scan an object along vertical direction before horizontal direction, the electronic low pass filter filters the vertical fringes with preserving horizontal fringes and gives an HPO hologram. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time to record the HPO hologram using OSH without either truncation of the scanning beam or digital post processing.

마크-젠더 변조기와 저역 통과 필터를 사용하여 광 듀오바이너리 신호를 생성하는 광 듀오바이너리 송신기의 전송 특성을 40Gbps에서 이론적으로 분석하였다. 광 듀오바이너리 시스템의 전송 성능은 송신기를 구성하는 저역 통과 필터와 광 필터 그리고 수신기내 필터의 대역폭에 따라 차이를 보였으며 각 필터들은 광 파워 스펙트럼에 각기 다른 영향을 주었다. 필터들의 최적화된 대역폭을 선택함으로써 광 듀오바이너리 신호 전송 시 부엽 발생과 리플을 억제시키고 분산 내성을 개선 할 수 있었다.

We propose a turbulence-tolerant Manchester on-off keying (M-OOK) transmission for free-space optical (FSO) communication. At the transmitter end, a M-OOK signal featuring a spectrum with low-frequency components absent is modulated and transmitted into a turbulent channel. At the receiver end, a low-pass filter (LPF) -based adaptive-threshold decision (ATD) with LPF-extracted channel-state information (CSI) and a high-pass filter (HPF)-based fixed-threshold decision (FTD) are employed to compensate for the effects of turbulence, owing to the low-frequency spectral characteristics of the turbulent channel. The performance of LPF-based ATD and HPF-based FTD are evaluated for various cutoff frequencies for the LPF and HPF. Besides, the proposed M-OOK transmission is compared to conventional non-return-to-zero OOK (NRZ-OOK) for different data rates. The proposed technique is verified in simulation. The simulation results show that the proposed M-OOK detection with optimized cutoff frequencies of LPF and HPF has better bit-error-rate (BER) performance compared to NRZ-OOK, and it is close to the theoretical ATD with the knowledge of precise CSI under various degrees of turbulence effects.

We designed an ultra-wide band-pass filter applicable to microwave reflectometry for KSTAR (Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research) and to microwave photonics. The proposed ultra-wide band-pass filter exhibits a metamaterial structure characterized by a wide band, low insertion loss, and high skirt selectivity. The proposed filter is applied to enhance the linearity of reflectometry at the output of a VCO (voltage controlled oscillator). The pass-band of the proposed filter is observed at 18~28 GHz, and the out-of-band rejection is below 20 dB. Further, we constructed an unwrapped negative phase of S(2, 1) to verify the characteristics of the metamaterial. The under- and upper-band at lower limits of the pass-band are left- and right-handed, respectively. The group delay of the filter is less than 0.5 ns.

This paper designs and evaluates a complementary filter for fusion of inertial sensor signals. Specifically, the designed filter is applied to inverted pendulum control where the pendulum's angle information is obtained from low-cost tilt and gyroscope sensors instead of an optical encoder. The complementary filter under consideration is a conventional one which consists of low- and high-pass filters. However, to improve the performance of the filter on the gyroscope, we use an integrator in the filter's outer loop. Frequency responses are obtained with both tilt and gyroscope sensors. Based on the frequency response results, we determine appropriate parameter values for the filter. The performance of the designed complementary filter is evaluated by applying the filter to inverted pendulum control. Experiments show that the performance of the designed filter is comparable to that of an optical encoder and low-cost inertial sensors can be used for inverted pendulum control with the heir of sensor fusion.

반점 간섭무늬 위상단면도의 잡음을 제거하기 위해 위상이동 convolution과 2-bit 양자화 스무딩 필터를 조합하였다. 위상이동 convoltion처리로 톱니파 형태를 갖는 반점 간섭무늬 위상단면도에서 2.pi. jump 양단의 edge 성분을 완벽하게 유지하면서 스무딩 처리를 할 수 있었다. 2-bit 양자화 스무딩 필터는 반점 간섭무늬 위상단면도의 스무딩 처리를 하는데 있어서 average, low-pass 필터 및 median 필터 보다 처리속도가 빠르고 S/N비 특성이 우수하였다. 잡음을 제거한 반점 위상단면도를 path dependent unwrapping 알고리즘을 적용하여 위상의 2.pi. 불연속성을 해소하고 펼쳐 보았다.

We investigated an anti-aliasing (AA) filter for digital camera photography by which the excessively high-frequency components of the image signal are suppressed to avoid the aliasing effect. Our optomechanical AA filter was implemented by applying rapid relative motions to the imaging sensor. By the engineered motion blur of the mechanical dithers, the effective point-spread function (PSF) of the imaging system could be tailored to reject the unwanted high-frequency components of the image. For optimal operations, we developed a spiral filter motion protocol that could produce a Gaussian-like PSF. We experimentally demonstrated that our AA filter provides an improved filtering characteristic with a better compromise of the rejection performance and the signal loss. We also found that the pass band characteristic can be enhanced further by a color-differential acquisition mode. Our filter scheme provides a useful method of digital photography for low-error image measurements as well as for ordinary photographic applications where annoying $moir{\acute{e}}$ patterns must be suppressed efficiently.

When we design a binary phase holographic optical low-pass filter (HOLF), the phase difference is generally set to be $\pi$ to optimize the diffraction efficiency. However, the phase difference of real HOLF mostly deviate from $\pi$ by the error in the fabrication process. The deviation causes the (0,0)-th order diffracted beam to increase, which results In raising the diffraction efficiency. To study the effects of the phase error on the performance of HOLF, we calculated the MTF of HOLF for various phase differences. The results show that the phase error of 10 $\%$ makes little change in the filtering characteristics of HOLF. Considering the filtering by lens and CCD, the effects of the phase error becomes much smaller. To confirm it experimentally, we fabricated HOLFs for various phase differences. After installing it in a digital camera, we take picture of test targets and observe the Moire fringes and the resolution. The results agree with our prediction.

디지털 영상 장치에서 홀로그램 광 저대역 필터를 사용할 때 해상도 저하 문제를 개선하기 위해 다중 위상 홀로그램을 설계하였다. 자체 제작한 몬테-카를로 방식의 홀로그램 설계 프로그램을 이용하여 회절광 세기 분포가 원형에 가깝도록 홀로그램을 설계하였고 그 회절 효율과 MTF를 구하였다. 설계 결과 홀로그램의 한 주기를 구성하는 셀의 개수는 MTF 특성에 별로 영향을 미치지 못한 반면에 홀로그램의 위상 수는 큰 영향을 미침을 확인하였다. 4 위상 홀로그램은 2 위상 홀로그램과 회절 효율이 같고 MTF 또한 2 위상에서와 같이 저주파수 영역에서 직선 형태가 되어 필터로서의 특성이 변하지 않았다. 그러나 8 위상 홀로그램의 경우에는 회절 효율도 2 위상에 비해 크게 개선되었고 저주파수 영역에서의 MTF 값도 증가하여 필터의 성능이 크게 향상되었다. 16 위상인 경우에는 회절 효율도 더 증가하고 MTF 그래프도 더 위로 볼록한 모양이 되었으나 그 증가 폭은 크게 감소하였다. 설계된 8 위상 홀로그램을 제작하고 MTF를 측정하여 2 위상보다 MTF 특성이 향상됨을 실험적으로 확인하였다.
