A number of dust particles are intruded into ODD(Optical disk drive) due to the flow caused by disk rotation and are adhered to a lens or disk surface. The space between the disk and the lens is being reduced. Someone indicates the problems of this drive that are relatively small data storing capacity and slow access time. In recent, the problems of this optical disk drive mentioned above are being solved by adding the speed of the disk's revolution, making the actuator high-speed or light, and making the beam spot size smaller than making the space narrow between disk and lens. These particle contamination affects seriously RF Signal, readout signal in an ODD. Especially, the affected parts by a particle contamination in an ODD's readout signal are objective lens and media.

Recently, an optical disc system has been proposed using blue laser diode, high NA objective lens and groove only disc structure. A new method is needed to readout CD and DVD in the blue system. In order to readout CD and DVD in HD-DVD system, we adopted dual-lenses actuator in consideration of optical utilization efficiency, optical performance and insurance of sufficient W.D (working distance).

FPA (Focal Plane Arrary)를 이용한 적외선 영상 획득 시스템에서 발생하는 주요 잡음 중 하나는 영상에 존재하는 공간적 고정 패턴 잡음(SFPN, Spatial Fixed Pattern Noise)이다. 이것이 발생하는 주된 요인은 배열을 이루고 있는 각 검출기들과, FPA 출력단에 있는 증폭기의 입출력 응답이 균일하지 않고, 시간이 흐름에 따라 그 응답특성이 변화하기 때문이다. 이 문제를 극복하기 위하여 일반적으로 교정기반 불균일 보정 방법(CBNUC, Calibration Based Nonuniformity Correction)과 장면기반 불균일 보정방법(SBNUC, Scene Based Nonuniformity Correction)이 사용된다. 본 논문은 CBNUC를 사용하는 시스템의 FPA 출력단 회로에 구성된 복수의 증폭기에 존재하는 이득의 차이 및 잡음에 의한 불균일을 보정하기 위한 보간 기법을 제안한다. 실험을 통하여 제안한 기법이 CBNUC 기반 적외선 영상 시스템에서 발생하는 규칙적인 패턴의 SFPN을 효율적으로 제거하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 제안한 기법은 CBNUC 기반 적외선 영상 시스템에서 주기적으로 수행해야하는 단일점보정 (OPC, One Point Correction)의 수행횟수를 줄이고, 연산량도 적어 실시간 시스템 구현이 가능하다.

The wavelength variation of a scanned fiber laser is analyzed using quadrature sampling technique. By time delayed sampling of a phase modulated Mach-Zender interferometer, the wavelength information can be precisely determined regardless of the nonlinearity in the Fabry-Perot wavelength filter which scanned the fiber laser. A wavelength readout resolution of ～20 pm was obtained at 2 KHz M-Z modulation frequency, and it was shown that the resolution could be improved in case of using an electro-optic phase modulator.

Here we report on the first results of sensitivity evaluation of the gadolinium-aluminum-gallium- garnet (GAGG) scintillation detector with SiPM readout to fast and slow neutrons and, to the natural background and Co-60 γ-radiation as well. Data on sensitivity were obtained using certified dosimetry benches, so it can be utilized in the calculation of detection limits of neutron flux with such type of detectors. It was concluded that use of GAGG scintillator has a good prospect for neutron monitoring in different parts of nuclear research reactors and power plants.

Infrared bolometer sensor's variation is detected by voltage drop between reference resistor and bolometer resistor in this architecture. One of the serious problems in this architecture is that these resistors value has a process variation. So common-mode level could be different from expectation in room temperature. Different common-mode level could lead to wrong output at the end of readout circuit. We suggest useful method to solve this problem. Difference correction using capacitor has reduced CM level difference to 86% for 1 $M\Omega$. bolometer and reference resistor's 10% variation.

A dual-particle imager (DPI) is configured in a hand-held form factor, then one can efficiently and conveniently deploy the DPI to detect the presence of special nuclear materials (SNM) and identify any isotopic variations that differ from their natural abundances. Here we show that by maximizing the areal coupling between a pixelated scintillator array and the partitioned photosensor readout such as a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM), the information utilization of the gamma-ray and neutron information in the radiation field can be enhanced, thus enabling one to rapidly acquire spatial maps of the distributions on gamma-ray and neutron emitters.
