Light bending by gravity was the key prediction of general relativity. Solar eclipse expedition of 1919 provided the observational support for the theory of general relativity. Diverse gravitational lensing, i.e., light bending, phenomena have been speculated and predicted by general relativity and ultimately discovered many years later. Gravitationally lensed quasars, luminous arcs, weak lensing, and microlensing have provided invaluable information about the distribution of matter, especially of dark matter, and the cosmology. Gravitational lensing is one of the most spectacular manifestation of general relativity and will remain as an extremely useful astrophysical tools in the future.

강한 펄스 레이저가 렌즈에 의해 투명한 매질 속에 집광되면 가시광선 영역에서부터 적외선 영역에 걸친 넓은 파장대의 빛이 발생하게 되는데 이것을 White-Light Continuum이라고 한다. 비선형 결정인 $\beta$-BBO에 의해서도 넓은 영역의 백색광을 발생시킬 수 있다. 이러한 펄스 백색광은 Time-resolved spectroscopy에서의 Probe beam과 다양한 파장대의 펄스 레이저 발생 및 증폭을 위한 Seed pulse 등으로 응용되고 있다. (중략)

최근에 주야간 관측이 가능한 열상카메라에 대한 관심이 날로 증가하고 있다. 특히 열상카메라는 빛이 전혀 없는 야간에도 선명한 영상을 획득할 수 있기 때문에 야간 영상획득을 위하여 반드시 사용하여야만 한다. 이러한 열상카메라는 가시광 보다 파장이 10배 또는 20배 가량 긴 파장을 사용하기 때문에 광학계 설계측면에서나 적외선 렌즈의 가공 측면에서 허용공차를 크게 할 수 있다는 유리한 점이 있다. (중략)

열상카메라는 빛이 전혀 없는 야간에도 선명한 영상을 획득할 수 있도록 구성된 장비이다. 이러한 열상카메라는 야간 영상 획득에 있어서 많은 분야에서 사용되고 또한 반드시 사용되어야만 한다. 또한 열상카메라를 구성하기 위하여 사용되는 렌즈의 재질은 온도에 대한 굴절률의 변화가 크고 경도가 낮아 외부 환경에 대한 영향성이 크다. 열상카메라의 성능에 영향을 주는 외부 환경 요소로는 열상카메라가 사용되는 환경에서 발생하는 진동의 요인과 내부 및 외부로부터 받는 온도에 대한 요인이다. (중략)

물질에 큰 전기장을 가하였을 때 그 물질의 전기 감수율이 선형이 아닌 비선형관계를 갖게 되는데, 이로 인하여 선형계에서는 볼 수 없는 여러 가지 특이한 현상들이 관측된다. 이러한 비선형적인 현상 중에서 자체집광현상은 Guassian세기 분포를 가지는 빛을 매질에 통과시켰을 때 시료가 얇은 렌즈처럼 작용하는 것으로 설명할 수 있다. 비선형 효과에 의하여 레이저빔이 본래의 특성과 달라질 수 있고 빔의 심각한 변형을 일어난다. (중략)

In this study, a portable flashlight which can manually generate the electricity by using sunlight was developed so that it can be used in the extreme environmental condition such as no-electricity condition. Battery is charged by using solar battery during the day, but when sunlight is not avalible during the night or rainy day, a handle is rotated to generate the electricity in order to charge the battery manually. To improve the brightness of the light, light is concentrated by using the optical lens. Low electric consumption circuit is used for the longer operating time by suppress electrical consumption while lamp is discharged. A circuit is designed and used for steady electrical curris dand voltage to insure steady battery charging. Super-discharge circuit and protection circuit are used for the super discharge of battery when it is not used for a long time. Also the constant charge is possible by using houseware adapter. As a result, a portable flashlight is designed to charge with sunlight during day, and with houseware adapter during night. A portable flashlight is also designed to irradiate longer distances by improvement of the brightness of the light using the optical lens. Thus, it forms white natural ray of light making possible for night reading.

Ultra-violet rays are very harmful to eye health care. The blocking of ultra-violet rays and a reduction of optical reflection in the visible light range, which is to increase the share of transmitted light, and avoid the formation of ghost images in imaging, are important for the applications of polymer eyeglasses lenses. In this study, the high-refractive index polymer lenses, n=1.67, were fabricated by injection-molded method with the xylene diisocyanate monomer, 2,3-bis-1-propanethiol monomer, and benzotriazol UV absorber (SEESORB 709) mixture. To reduce the reflection of the polymer lens surfaces, multi-layer anti-reflection (AR) coatings were coated for both sides of the polymer lens using an E-beam evaporation system. The optical properties of the UV blocking polymer lens were characterized using a UV-visible spectrometer. The material properties of the thin films, which were composed AR coating layers, refractive index, and surface roughness, were analyzed by ellipsometry and atomic force microscopy. As a result, the fabricated polymer lens perfectly blocked ultra-violet rays below 395 nm with a blocking rate greater than 99%.

In this paper we design the optical system for an integrated two-channel TO-type optical transmitter to apply the HDMI interface using the code V simulator. The proposed integrated two-channel optical transmitter has two VCSELs attached in parallel on an 8-pin TO-CAN package, on top of which is a lens filter block ($1mm{\times}2mm{\times}4mm$) composed of hemispherical lenses and WDM filters. Considering two-channel transmitters manufactured with wavelength combinations of 1060nm/1270nm and 1330nm/1550nm, we obtain the optimum value of the diameter of the hemispherical lens as 0.6 mm for both combinations, and the distances L between the lens filter block and ball lens as 1.7 mm and 2.0 mm for the 1060nm/1270nm and 1330nm/1550nm wavelength combinations, respectively. At this time, the focal length f0 of the lens filter blocks for wavelengths of 1060, 1270, 1330, and 1550 nm are 0.351, 0.354, 0.355, and 0.359 mm, respectively, and the focal lengths F of light passing through the lens filter block and ball lens are 0.62 mm for 1060nm/1270nm and 0.60-0.66 mm for 1330nm/1550nm wavelength combinations.

A 16-views 3 dimensional imaging system is designed by spatially combinding two 8-views time multiplexed image channels. Each 8-views channel composed of 3 primary color CRTs and a dichroic beam splitter which combining the three CRTs as one channel. Each CRT displays 8-view images time sequentially. These images are projected to a holographic screen of a size 1$\times$0.8 $m^2$ through a projection optics. Characteristics of the three different configurations of projection optics are examined with the optics designing program "DEMOS" to select an optimized projection optics for the system. The configulation of the optimized projection optics is found like following; images from each channel combined by two-fold mirror are projected by a projection objective through a 16-strips LCD shutter. In this configuration, the shutter should be located at the entrance pupil of the objective, and the folded edge of the two-fold mirror should contact symmetrically to the center line of the shutter.e shutter.

In order to improve the coupling efficiency, a collimator lens that collects the light emitted from the laser diode at a wide angle to the core of the optical fiber is essential. Glass mold method using a mold is widely used as a collimator lens currently used. Although this method is inexpensive to produce, it is difficult to form precisely and quality problems such as spherical aberration. In this study, the precision of surface processing was improved by replacing the existing glass mold method with the semiconductor process, and the material of the lens was changed to silicon suitable for the semiconductor process. The semiconductor process consists of a photolithography process using PR and a dry etching process using plasma. The optical coupling efficiency was measured using an ultra-precision alignment system for the evaluation of the optical characteristics of the silicon lens. As a result, the optical coupling efficiency was 50% when the lens diameter was $220{\mu}m$, and the optical coupling property was 5% or less with respect to the maximum optical coupling efficiency in the lens diameter range of $210-240{\mu}m$.
