일반적으로 광통신이나 고출력 레이저에 사용되는 광학 소자들 중 고반사율의 거울은 특정 파장과 특정 각도에 대해서만 민감하도록 설계되어 있다. 이것을 여러 파장의 빛을 여러 각도로 입사시키더라도 높은 반사율을 얻는다면, 소자의 효율을 향상시키는데 상당한 효과를 볼 수 있다. 은이나 알루미늄의 금속박막으로 제작되는 금속 거울은 제작하기 쉽고 입사파장과 금속의 재질에 관련되어 90 %이상의 반사율을 갖지만, 특정한 각도에서는 빛이 금속 내에 있는 자유 전자들에 의해 상당량 흡수되어 버린다. 따라서 금속 거울은 에너지의 손실이 적어야 하는 광통신이나 고출력 레이저와 같은 응용분야에는 사용될 수 없다. 이러한 흡수가 거의 없는 유전체 거울은 고굴절률과 저굴절률의 층이 λ$_{0}$/4의 광학 두께를 가지고 주기적으로 반복되는 구조를 갖는다. 이러한 λ$_{0}$/4 유전체 다층 박막계는 1-차원 photonic 결정 구조와 동일하게 다룰 수 있는데, 1-차원 photonic 결정 구조가 모든 입사각도에 대해서 전방향 반사를 보인다는 것을 이론과 실험적으로 증명하였다[1-3].

Via terahertz (THz) reflection radar, the characterizations of reflected THz electromagnetic pulses are reported. Quasi-optical techniques are used to efficiently reflect pulses of THz electromagnetic radiation from an aluminum mirror and several conducting and nonconducting materials. An incident THz pulse is reflected up to 9 times to know the magnitude change of a reflected pulse from the aluminum mirror. Using this method, aluminum board, undoped silicon, quartz, and LDPE samples' reflection coefficient and index of refraction can be measured. These results suggest a possible application of transient THz reflection spectroscopy without surface contact.ontact.

Low reflectance optical fiber mirrors in the continuous length of the single mode fiber were fabricated using mechanical splices and pieces of fiber coated with $TiO_{2}$ dielectric film at the cleaved end. When fiber mirrors of refelctance of about 1% were produced, the insertion loss ranged from 0.055dB to 0.3dB and the average insertion loss was 0.15 dB. These mirrors could be produced easy in the field.

We developed a novel depth-of-interaction positron emission tomography (PET) detector using wavelength shifting (WLS) fibers and optimized it. The optimization module was designed by using two scintillators and three WLS fibers and attaching a sensor to the end of the WLS fiber. Optimum combinations were obtained through the light collection efficiency and the light collection ratio between sensors depending on coupling materials and reflectors of scintillators, WLS fibers and sensors. The highest light collection efficiency and the light collection ratio between sensors were obtained in the combination of the epoxy (coupling materials)-diffuse reflector (scintillators)-specular reflector (WLS fibers).

Dielectric thin film mirrors are embedded in multimode and single-mode fibers by a fusion splicing technique. The fibers with $45{\circ}$ angled embedded mirrors serve as ultra-compact directional couplers with low excess optical loss of 0.2 dB for multimode and 0.5 dB for single mode at 1.3 ${\mu}m$ and excellent mechanical properties. The reflectance is wavelength dependent and strongly polarization depencient. Far-field scans of the reflected output power measured with a white-light source show a pattern which is almost circularly symmetric with aspect ratio of 1.09 at 5% of the peak power. The splitting ratio in a multimode coupler measured with a diode laser source is much less dependent on input coupling conditions than in conventional fused biconical-taper couplers, indicating that these couplers are less susceptible to modal noise occuring in optical fiber communication systems. Spectral properties of multilayer internal mirrors normal to the fiber axis have been investigated experimentally, and a matrix analysis has been used to explain the results.

The detector of the positron emission tomography (PET) is composed using a plurality of scintillation pixels and photo sensors. The use of multiple photo sensors increases cost and complicates signal processing. In this study, a detector with reduced cost and simple signal processing was designed using a small number of photo sensors. A scintillation pixel and a small number of photo sensors were used, and a optical guide was used to deliver light to all the photo sensors. A reflector is applied to the scintillation pixel and the optical guide to transmit the maximum amount of light to the photo sensor. A diffuse reflector and a specular reflector were used for the reflector, and a flood image was obtained by applying different thicknesses of the optical guide. An optimal combination was selected through comparative analysis of the acquired flood images. As a result, when specular reflectors were used for both the scintillation pixel and the optical guide, excellent flood images were obtained from optical guides of all thicknesses. For the optical guide, the optimal image was obtained when using a 3 mm thickness in consideration of the size of the image and the analysis of the point where the image of the scintillation pixel was formed.

A detector module measuring a depth of interaction was developed using silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) and two layers of scintillation crystal array treated with multiple reflectors. When reconstructing an image based on a signal obtained by using different types of reflector of each layer, the interaction positions of scintillation pixels and gamma rays could be tracked by utilizing the feature that all scintillation pixels were recorded at different positions. The bottom layer uses a specular reflector, and the top layer uses a diffuse reflector to differently process the size of the signal obtained from the SiPM. The optical grease was used to recude the sharp refractive index change between the layers of scintillator and the SiPM. The signals obtained from the 16 SiPMs were reduced to four signals using the Anger equations, and the images were reconstructed using them. All the scintillation pixels composed of the two layers appeared in the reconstructed image, which distinguished the layer where the scintillation pixels and gamma rays interacted. If the detectors, which measure the interaction depth of two layers using different reflectors, will be applied to preclinical positron emission tomography, the degradation of spatial resolution appearing outside the field of interest could be solved.

본 논문에서는 검사 및 측정용 비젼 시스템에서 카메라와 평면거울을 이용하여 영상을 촬영할 패 발생하는 왜곡의 보정 방법을 제안한다. 빛이 거울과 카메라 사이를 통과할 때 거울 위치의 틀어짐으로 인하여 직진성을 보장받기 어렵다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 왜곡 영상에 대한 모델을 구하고 이를 해결하는 방법을 제시한다. 거울의 위치의 틀어짐은 영상 촬영시 일그러진 사각형 형태로 왜곡이 나타난다. 이 특성을 이용하여 사각형 형태의 실험 대상체를 생성하여 이를 촬영하고 왜곡의 정도를 측정하여 평면거울의 보상값을 구한다. 이 방법으로 평면거울의 자세를 보정하여 왜곡되지 않은 영상을 얻을 수 있다.

A depth-encoding detector module with silicon photomultipliers(SiPMs) using two layers of scintillation crystal array was designed, and the position measurement capability was verified using DETECT2000. The depth of interaction of the crystal pixels with the gamma rays was tracked through the image acquired with the combination of surface treatment of the crystal pixels and reflectors. The bottom layer was treated as a reflector except for the optically coupled surfaces, and the crystals of top layer were optically coupled each other except for the outer surfaces so that the light sharing was made easier than the bottom layer. Flood images were obtained through the combination of specular reflectors and random reflectors, grounded and polished surfaces of crystal pixels, and the positions at which layer images were generated were measured and analyzed. The images were reconstructed using the Anger algorithm, whose the SiPM signals were reduced as the 16-channels to 4-channels. In the combination of the grounded surface and all reflectors, the depth positions were discriminated into two layers, whereas it was impossible to separate the two layers in the all polished surface combinations. Therefore, using the combination of grounded surface crystal pixels and reflectors could improve the spatial resolution at the outside of the field of view by measuring the depth position in preclinical positron emission tomography.
