The refractive index and dispersion in the (100-x)(0.6CaO.0.4Al2O3).xSiO2(x=0~30) glasses were investigated. As the amount of SiO2 increased, the refractive index decreased. The change of refractive index was attributed to the change of the molar refraction rather than the molar volume. When the amount of SiO2 was smaller than 20 mol%, the average electronic transition energy gaps(E0) and the electronic oscillator strengths(Ed) were about 10.9($\pm$0.1) nd 18($\pm$0.5)eV, respectively. However E0 and Ed of the glass (CAS30) with 30 mol% SiO2 increased to 12.63 and 19.89eV, respectively. The similar results was observed in the variation of Abbe Number. Abbe number of the glass in the range of 0~20 mol% SiO2 was about 46 and that of CAS30 increased to 60. The zero-material dispersion wavelength({{{{ lambda }}0) of pure calcium aluminate glass was 1.8 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. As the amount of SiO2 increased, the zero-material dispersion wavelength shifted to a shorter wavelength. {{{{ lambda }}0 of CAS30 was 1.5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, that is currently using for the optical telecommunication system.

In this paper, unit cell and arrayed cover for improving the transfer efficiency of resonant wireless power transfer system is proposed. We used the characteristic of zero refractive index for focusing a magnetic field between the transmitting resonator and receiving resonator. For zero refractive index, we designed the unit cell structure that have a negative value of effective permeability. The size of proposed unit cell based on metamaterial structure is $70mm{\times}70mm{\times}3.2mm$, operating frequency is 13.56 MHz. And, the size of arrayed cover is $400mm{\times}400mm{\times}3.2mm$, is consists of 2-layers. The transfer efficiency of the proposed wireless power transfer system are 94.8 %, 93.2 %, 91.4 %, 90.8 % at 100 mm, 200 mm, 300 mm and 400 mm (distance between transmitting and receiving resonator), respectively. And proposed WPT system has a transfer efficiency high than 90 % over the overall distances.

In this paper, the double-refractive index profile, which is generalized a trapezoidal index profile, is proposed to study the characteristics of a optical fiber in the wave length 1.55um. Being compared with a triangle profile, it has many advantages over an optimum core radius, the minimum refractive index difference and the change of chromati dispersion characteristics with wavelength. Though the value of a varies from 2 to infinite, the same results are approximately obtained. Therefore, in fabrication of a fiber, the step part of trapezoidal index profile can replace the profile of a-power refractive index. Because the refractive index presented in this paper varies with a, it can be applied to multiple cladding fiber or segmented core fiber. And it is expected that the characteristics of the fiber are obtained.

In this paper, we propose a method that represents a mathematical form of wave propagation by using the fact the refractive index determining wave propagation characteristic is a function of altitude. Proposed method uses Snell's law that expresses relationship between incident angle and refraction angle when incident wave passes medium having a different refractive index. We present the simulation results about wave propagation by setting the square of refractive index in the form of the polynomial for altitude and show that it is possible to estimate the coefficients of the polynomial through the angle information from vertical axis of multiple radar systems.

Anti-reflection film was coated by using spherical silica nano colloidal particles and fumed silica particles. Silica colloid sol was reserved between two inclined slide glasses by capillary force, and particles were stacked to form a film onto the substrate as the upper glass was sliding. The deposition processes were studied to enhance the wavelength dependency of the light transmittance and to control the effective refractive index of the film. Both of the spherical and fumed silica particles showed an enhancement of $4.0-4.4\%$ in light transmittance by one step coating. The dependence of the transmittance on wavelength was largely improved at the longer wavelength by partial coating of fumed particles on the film of spherical particles. The effective refractive index of the film was controlled by removing latex particles that were co-deposited with silica particles. Using this process the light reflectance from one side of the glass substrate could be reduced from $4.2\%$ to $0.6\%$ although zero reflectance was not achieved due to the agglomeration of the latex particles.

Purpose: In this study, we proposed a simple accommodation-dependent crystalline lens with a constant volume and homogeneous refractive index. Methods: We proposed a human crystalline lens with two aspheric surfaces. Two surfaces intersect in two points and straight line between two points was equator(2b). It assumed that the derivative in axial direction was zero at the equator and the radial derivative was zero at the vertex. Proposed human crystalline lens was divided by the equator into the anterior and posterior parts. It was assume that the volume of each part and refractive index of the human crystalline lens were constant during accommodation. Results: For the changes during accommodation, geometrical parameters were determined by different objective distances. Considering the constant volume of each part with the small decrement of the equator, we obtained the paraxial parameters, such as the anterior and posterior vertex radius of curvature and lens thickness. Compared with the experimental data published in the literature, calculated values using simple approximation showed similar change per accommodative stimulus. Conclusions: These results showed that proposed simple approximation using assumption of constant volume and refractive index of the human crystalline lens made it possible to predict changes of geometrical parameters during accommodation.

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.

Purpose: We investigated the changes of plastic lens after etching of coating films by comparing uncoated lens. Methods: CR-39, middle index and high index lenses of 0 (zero) diopter were etched at $80^{\circ}C$ and room temperature using a coating remover, and then changes of refractive power, transmittance and surface morphology were investigated. Results: There were no differences in refractive power and transmittance between uncoated and etched lenses. The etching rate was similar in both CR-39 and middle index lens, but in the case of high index lens, it was slower and less steady than the others. From the SEM observation of lens surface, etching damage was found out on the surface of etched lens. It was shown the least damage in middle index lens but the most damage in high index lens. Conclusions: If the etching of coating films is demanded on condition that the surface of ophthalmic lenses are not damaged, a using of most adequate coating remover based on lens material should be considered, and a caution for proper etching conditions is required.

Based on the scalar wave equation of optical fibers, the dispersion characteristics of arbitrarily profiled fibers were analyzed. We used the I-D FEM employing quadratic interpolation fucntions to solve the scalar wave equation. We simulated the DC optical fibers as objects, and searched for the refractive index distribution to minimize the total dispersion. In DC fibers, we found the design parameters for which the total dispersion was almost zero at $\lambda=1.3{\mu}m and 1.55{\mu}m$ simultaneously. We also found the design parameters where the dispersion was flattened, less than 1.0 ps/km.nm for$\lambda=1.4~1.7{\mu}m$1. and the dispersion was as low as 0.65 ps/km.nm at $\lambda=1.55{\mu}m$..
