Wavefront control은 렌즈, 거울 등을 포함한 많은 광학소자를 대체할 수 있는 기술이며, 이는 광 직접 소자 개발에 매우 유용하다. 기존의 Distributed bragg reflector (DBR) 구조의 경우 lattice mismatch, 낮은 효율, 작은 굴절률 차이의 물질만을 사용해야 하는 문제 등으로 광 직접 소자에의 적용에는 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 한계점을 극복하고, 더 나아가 광학소자 구조 내에서의 빛의 거동을 조절하기 위해서 High-index contrast grating (HCG), 즉, 큰 굴절률 차이가 나는 물질로 이루어진 격자 구조 내의 빛이 가지는 waveguide 특성에 대한 연구가 수행되었다. 굴절률 차이가 큰 물질을 sub-wavelength의 주기적인 혹은 비주기적인 격자 구조로 만듦으로써 투과된 빛의 투과도와 위상 등을 조절할 수 있고 이를 통해 빛의 초점 거리, 휘어짐을 조절 할 수 있다. HCG 구조 내의 빛의 거동을 Rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA) 및 Finite element method (FEM) 계산을 이용하여 시뮬레이션 하였다. RCWA 계산을 통해 주기 격자구조의 투과도 및 반사도, 빛의 위상을 계산하여 비주기를 갖는 전체적인 HCG 구조를 결정하였고, FEM 계산을 통하여 그 구조 내에서 빛의 거동을 시뮬레이션 하였다. 1,300 nm 파장의 빛이 광원으로 사용되었고 시뮬레이션을 위해 낮은 굴절률의 물질로 ITO, 높은 굴절률의 물질로는 Si이 사용되었다. $15{\mu}m$ 포커싱, $7.91^{\circ}$의 휘어짐을 시뮬레이션 하였고, 실제 소자 공정을 하여 제작한 후, 광 측정 결과 포커싱은 $15{\mu}m$, 휘어짐은 $4.5{\sim}6.5^{\circ}$를 확인하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 HCG구조체를 통하여 빛의 엔지니어링이 가능함을 알 수 있었다. HCG구조체는 빛이 투과하는 광학 소자의 전반에 적용이 가능하며 더 나아가 인위적인 빛의 엔지니어링이 가능함을 시사한다.

본 논문은 광학 격자 필름과 평행 렌즈를 이용하여 무안경 3D 디스플레이 시스템을 구현한 연구이다. 기존 패럴랙스 배리어 시스템에서는 시점에 따라 크로스토크가 발생하는 영역과 역 입체시 영역을 갖게 되는데 이는 시청자가 정확한 3D영상을 볼 수 없도록 한다. 이를 평행 렌즈를 이용하여 좌, 우안에 해당하는 영상을 평행하게 이동시켜 설계된 격자 필름의 위치에 맺힐 수 있게 하고 격자 필름으로 빛을 굴절시켜 각 눈에 해당하는 영상만 볼 수 있는 영역을 갖게 하였다. 제안하는 방법을 이용해 크로스토크를 회피하여 보다 정확한 3D영상을 볼 수 있도록 한다.

광물질로 인광물질을 사용한 유기발광다이오드(Organic Light Emitting Diode, OLED)는 재결합에 의해 형성된 여기자를 발광에 모두 이용할 수 있기 때문에 내부 양자효율이 100%로 알려져 있다. 하지만 유기층에서 발생된 빛이 소비자에게 전달되기까지의 경로에서 발생되는 wave guiding effect로 인해, 발생된 빛의 20%만이 전달된다. 특히 bottom emission type의 OLED에서 glass와 air사이의 굴절률이 달라 발생되는 전반사에 의해 손실되는 빛의 양은 35%에 달한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 glass와 air사이의 전반사를 줄이고 광추출을 위해 습식 방법으로 hemisphere type의 ZnS를 제작하였다. 제작된 ZnS는 직경 200nm까지 성장하였으며, 이렇게 제작된 ZnS nano lens가 적용된 OLED device에서 휘도가 20% 이상 향상되는 것을 확인하였다.

We introduce Gaussian (or paraxial) optics that can be successfully applied to design, for use in a color analyzer, a non-imaging optical system on a measurement probe for LCD display. The color analyzer is used to decompose colored lights leaving from some measurement area on the LCD display to red, green, and blue. The color analyzer must include a condenser lens whose purpose is to gather colored lights to illuminate a small area on the sensor. In order to satisfy a reduction ratio between the measurement area and the sensing area with a non-imaging condition, a condenser lens is analytically treated by means of Gaussian optics so that good understanding of the non-imaging condenser lens is achieved as a good design is derived. As a result, the technique shows the necessity of analytical treatment in contrast to the design approach using only commercial software such as CODE-V, Light-Tools, and others. Of course, CODE V and Light-Tools are also utilized in this paper to confirm and complete the Gaussian optical design.

In general, a lens with large NA makes image quality better. There are many kinds of cheap concave mirrors with large aperture and NA. This paper presents a method that uses a large aperture projection imaging system to enhance the image used for 3D shape measurement. This method makes it possible to enhance reflection uniformity on the object surface and increases SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio). Using a large aperture lens, it is possible to obtain a brighter image, reducing the shading nature in the image boundary, and enhancing the reflection uniformity even on woven surfaces. Because of the exorbitant cost of a large aperture projection lens larger than 150 mm in diameter, a refractive lens was exchanged with a concave mirror resulting in the same optical effect. In experiment, changing NA $0.15{\sim}0.8$, image contrast was enhanced from 46 to 1.33. Incidentally, the effect of the concave mirror was tested successfully through the experiment.

A Netspec lens has the form having the 2-dimensional mesh coating on a general ophthalmic lens. It is known that it makes the ophthalmic image see more clearly, reducing the ophthalmic fatigue and that the transmittance of it for ultraviolet and infrared rays is lower. We need to prove this characteristic scientifically. So, in this study, we applied the Kirchhoff's scalar wave theory to the Netspec lens and induced a transmittance expression. And we made the program of which simulation can explain the transmittance effect of the Netspec lens. Also, we tried the interpreting about the result of the simulation. Finally, we have known that this simulation program can be used to adjust the transmittance of the light according to the wavelength.

In this study, we present a fully automated system that combines camera technology with liquid crystal technology to create a polarization camera capable of detecting the partial linear polarization of light reflected from an object. The use of twisted nematic (TN) liquid crystals that electro-optically modulate the polarization plane of light eliminates the need to mechanically rotate the polarizing filter in front of the camera lens. Images obtained using these techniques are imaged by computer software. In addition, liquid crystal panels have been produced in a square shape, but many camera lenses are usually round, and lighting or other driving units are installed around the lens, so space is optimized through the application of a circular liquid crystal display. Through the development of this technology, an electrically switchable and space-optimized liquid crystal polarizer is developed.

In this paper, we propose the development of a small $360^{\circ}$ oral scanner lens module. The proposed small $360^{\circ}$ oral scanner lens module consists of a small $360^{\circ}$ high resolution(4MegaPixel) lens optical system, a 15mm image sensor unit, and a small $360^{\circ}$ mouth scanner lens external shape. A small $360^{\circ}$ high resolution lens optical system produces a total of nine lenses, the outer diameter of the lens not less than 15mm for use by children through the ages of adulthood. Light drawn by a small $360^{\circ}$ high resolution lens optical system is $90^{\circ}$ flexion so that image images are delivered to image sensors. The 15mm image sensor unit sends the converted value to the ISP(Image Signal Processor) of the embedded board after an image array through the column and the row address of the image sensor. The small $360^{\circ}$ mouth scanner lens outer shape was designed to fix the race to the developed lens. Results from authorized testing agencies to assess the performance of proposed small $360^{\circ}$ oral scanner lens modules, The optical resolving power of $360^{\circ}$ lens was more than 30% at 150 cycles/mm, $360^{\circ}$ lens angle was $360^{\circ}$ in vertical direction, $42^{\circ}{\sim}85^{\circ}$ in vertical direction, and lens distortion rate was 5% or less. It produced the same result as the world's highest level.

The spherical lens is typically classified by the refractive power into two groups such as (+) diopter lens and (-) diopter lens. The deformation occurred by the external force that is applied to a lens is caused by the increase or the decrease in the diopter of a lens. In this paper, the deformation of the lens was quantitatively measured by using ESPI (Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry) which have been used in the optical measurement field for past few years. ESPI has an advantage that the deformation of an object can be measured precisely by using coherence of the light. The experiment was carried out to the totally 16 types of plastic lens. It was confirmed that the deformation was decreased by increasing the diopter of the lens when same displacement was applied to the lens in case of (+) diopter lens and was increased by decreasing the diopter of the lens in case of (-) diopter lens. Also, it was found that the deformation of (+) diopter lens is less than that of (-) diopter lens. Therefore, with these results, it is expected that the possibility of the quantitative measurement for variation of the optical defect caused by the deformation of a lens when the deformation is occurred to the various types of the lens can be presented and that the application in the lens industrial field can be performed.
