We measured the refractive index of a mixed polymer (NOA61, NOA84) in the liquid and solid states. First we made a hollow prism and filled it with UV (ultraviolet) epoxy. Measurement of the apex angle and the minimum-deviation angle gave the refractive index of the liquid polymer. To measure the refractive index of the solid polymer, an additional structure was included in the hollow prism, and the UV epoxy filling in the hollow prism was hardened. In both cases of liquid and solid polymers, the refractive index of the mixed polymer turned out to be proportional to the mix ratio. These results provide a method to vary the focal length of a double stacked cylindrical microlens array using UV epoxy.

We designed optical systems for a mobile phone camera using a spherical SELFOC lens and an aspherical plastic lens. Since the radial index distribution gives an additional design parameter for optical design, an aspheric lens could be replaced by a spherical lens. The imaging performances of the design were compared with conventional 2P design composed of two aspherical plastic lenses. In the first stage of study, we designed 1GRIN 1P lenses by using commercially available SELFOC materials. But, the conventional 2P lenses had better performance than the 1GRIN 1P lenses. In the 1GRIN 1P designs, the performance depends on index variation of GRIN material, the larger variation gives the better performance. Hence, we tried to design by using fictitious GRIN materials which have large index variation. We found if the index variation could be increased to about 3 times that of currently available SELFOC materials, the 1GRIN 1P lens will have equivalent or better performance than the conventional 2P design.

현재 국내의 시각 관련 전문가들이 일반적으로 사용하는 자동 시각 굴절력-곡률계(Auto Ref-Keratometer)는 대부분 일본 제품들을 포함하는 외국산들이다. 최근 국내에서도 일부 기업에서 시각 측정기 부문에서의 개발을 행하고 있으나 아직 외국 제품들에는 정확도, 성능 등에서 크게 미흡한 수준을 보이고 있다 이에 좀 더 개선된 성능의 광학 부문, 소프트웨어 부문, 전자 하드웨어 부문등이 요구되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 하드웨어의 변경 없이 전자 부문 소프트웨어의 다양한 변경을 가할 수 있도록 해 주어 개발 기간을 크게 줄일 수 있고 고객 데이터베이스 구축 등의 응용 확장도 가능하도록 범용성을 갖추 자동 시각 굴절력 곡률계의 전자 부문 하드웨어를 설계하였다. 본 전자 부문 하드웨어 시스템은 동시 개발 중인 광학 부문, 전자 부문 소프트웨어와 연동되어 외국 제품에 비교시 정확도와 성능면에서 근소하나마 향상된 결과를 낼 수 있게 하였을 뿐 아니라 향후 발전 가능성도 크게 향상시킬 수 있었다.

최근 시각 관련 측정기 개발에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 현재 국내의 시각 관련 전문가들이 일반적으로 사용하는 자동 시각 굴절력-곡률계(AutoRefracto-Keratometer)는 대부분 일본 제품들을 포함하는 외국산들이다. 최근 국내에서도 일부 기업에서 시각 측정기 부문에서의 개발을 행하고 있으나 아직 외국 제품들에는 정확도, 성능 등에서 크게 미흡한 수준을 보이고 있다. 이에 좀 더 개선된 성능의 광학 부문, 소프트웨어 부문, 전자 하드웨어 부문 등이 요구되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 하드웨어의 변경 없이 전자 부문 소프트웨어의 다양한 변경을 가할 수 있도록 해 주어 개발 기간을 크게 줄일 수 있고 고객 데이터베이스 구축 등의 응용 확장도 가능하도록 범용성을 갖춘 자동 시각 굴절력 곡률계의 전자 부문 하드웨어를 설계하였다. 본 전자 부문 하드웨어 시스템은 동시 개발 중인 광학 부문, 전자 부문 소프트웨어와 연동되어 외국 제품에 비교시 정확도와 성능면에서 향상된 결과를 낼 수 있게 하였을 뿐 아니라 향후 발전 가능성도 크게 향상시킬 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 질화물 계 발광 다이오드의 광추출효율을 향상시키키 위해서 발광 다이오드의 ITO 투명전극 층 상부에 임프린팅 공정을 이용하여 고굴절률 레진 패턴을 형성하였다. 고굴절률 레진은 단량체 기반의 열경화성 임프린트 레진에 ZnO 나노 파티클을 분산시켜 제작하였고 ZnO 나노 파티클의 함량비를 달리하여 레진의 굴절률을 조절하였다. 고굴절률 레진으로 이루어진 패터닝 층은 열경화 임프린팅 공정으로 제작되었고 300 nm 크기의 dot 또는 hole 격자 패턴 및 moth-eye 형상의 저반사 나노 패턴 등으로 형성되었다. 발광 다이오드에 형성된 패터닝 층의 굴절률, 구조에 따른 광추출효율 향상 정도를 분석하기 위하여 electroluminescence 측정을 하였으며 I-V characteristics를 통해서 임프린팅 공정에 의하여 발광 다이오드 소자의 전기적 특성이 저하되지 않았음을 확인하였다.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and efficiency of different methods used for the fermentable sugar assay in the production of Makgeolli sul-dut. In the initial stage of fermentation, Ipguk treatment produced a higher alcohol content compared to the Nuruk treatment. However, the alcohol content was not significantly different between the two starters at the final stage of fermentation. Acidity in the Ipguk treatment was higher than that of Nuruk throughout the fermentation period. After analyzing the fermentable sugars using dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS), Fehling's method, refractometer, glucose kit, and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), it was confirmed that the HPLC method was the most accurate for fermentable sugar quantification. In both types of starters, DNS and Fehling's methods showed results comparable to HPLC in terms of fermentable sugar content, while the glucose kit and refractometer analyses showed relatively large discrepancies, indicating that the Fehling's method could also be effective for the analysis of fermentable sugars in the manufacture of Makgeolli.

An immersion-type on-line refractometer useful for the in-situ measurement of salinity and temperature of sea water is developed, and its performance is examined by applying the refractometer to known salt solution having salt concentration between 2 and 4 % similar to practical sea water salinity. Since refractive index and temperature are measured simultaneously, it is possible to compensate the effect of temperature for fast and direct measurement. The outcome of salinity measurement for the different concentrations of salt solution indicates that the device is suitable for the salinity measurement by yielding stable and reproducible reading.

This paper proposes how to fabricate an educational Mach-Zehnder interferometer that is easy to align and inexpensive, using 3D printers and semiconductor lasers. The interferometer consists of a body $165mm{\times}120mm{\times}57mm$ in size, mirror mounts, a laser holder, beam splitters, and so on. The laser path is adjusted by 4 mirror mounts, each comprised of rubber bands, small metal wires, and a screw. The interference fringe is enlarged by the lens at the final stage. The refractive index of a slide glass was measured by counting the number of moving interference fringes while the slide glass, inserted into one of the two interferometer arms, is rotating. The formula for the refractive index as a function of the optical-path difference and rotation angle was obtained, and used to calculate the refractive index of glass from the interferometer experiment. The use of a rotating glass in one arm of the interferometer nullifies the need for a precision stage, which despite its high cost is often required to observe the moving interference fringe in the classroom. Therefore, the 3D-printed Mach-Zehnder interferometer proposed in this paper can be very useful for education, because of its affordability and performance. It enables students to perform both qualitative and quantitative studies using a 3D-printed interferometer, such as measuring the refractive index of a glass sample, and the wavelength of light.

A catadioptric omnidirectional zoom optical system using a hybrid lens (COZOSH) that performs simultaneously two functions of a lens and a mirror was designed at the visible wavelength range for daytime unmanned surveillance, and its performance was analyzed. The hybrid lens has lots of advantages in terms of fabrication and assembly of a COZOSH, because of the obviation of a lens boring process and reduction of the number of optical components. Additionally, we designed the COZOSH to expand the compressed inner-image region of a donut image at low spatial frequencies. As a result, the optimized design performance of the optical system that satisfies all initial design specifications was obtained from calculation of the modulation transfer function, spot diagram, and tolerance analysis. We confirmed that the COZOSH is a passively athermalized optical system under conditions of temperature variation from -30℃ to 50℃, by using athermalization analysis during zooming.

Critical angle of quartz (R.I. ${\fallingdotseq}$ 1.553) and diamond (R.I. = 2.417) are $40.09^{\circ}$ and $24.26^{\circ}$ that calculated by $sin{\theta}=r_2/r_1$ (r = refractive index, $r_1$ > $r_2$). Brilliance of quartz and diamond are 20.33% and 55.07%. The brilliance data are result of study on the incident light internal round brilliant cut quartz and diamond by the critical angle. Cause of bow-tie phenomenon can be studied by application of critical angle theory and light path inside fancy shape brilliant cut. When refractormetry with typical gem refractometer, critical angle of quartz and corundum are $59.1^{\circ}$ and $77.9^{\circ}$.
