In this paper, a synthesis method for the desired scattering pattern is presented when illuminating by TE-polarized and TM-polarized plane waves to arbitrary dielectric material. It is considered that the one-dimensional dielectric media are inhomogeneously distributed with continuously varying dielectric constants. Accordingly the desired patterns and the corresponding source distributions are inversely transformed by the proposed algorithm which are based on the one-dimensional inverse scattering problem. Some bandstop spatial filter are illustrated for applications.

광범위한 면적의 토지피복분류를 관찰하는데 유용하게 사용되고 있는 NOAA AVHRR 자료는 자료의 방대한 양과 구름에 의한 영향을 없애기 위하여 일반적으로 MVC(Maximum Value Composite) 처리를 하여 사용한다. 그러나 수신당시의 여러 가지 환경인자(구름, 저주파 노이즈, 산란, 구름의 그림자 등)에 의하여 각 채널의 패턴이 변화하여 오독을 할 위험성이 있다. 특히 그림자의 영향에 의해 측정치가 변화하는 NOAA 위성의 채널2영역에서는 이러한 특징이 두드러진다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지상에서 실제로 측정한 자료를 기초로 하여 NOAA 영상자료에서 구름으로 인한 그림자의 영향에 관하여 조사하였고, 한 픽셀안에서 그림자의 영향이 60%이상이 될 경우에는 오독의 가능성이 높은 것으로 나타났다.

표면증강 라만 산란(Surface Enhancement Raman Scattering, SERS) 기판의 경우, 규칙적인 배열을 갖는 나노구조 및 나노패턴 기판과 금속 나노구조의 고밀도 패킹이 고감도 화학물질 검출에 중요하다. 또한 폭넓은 응용 가능성에도 불구하고 기판 제작의 비용이 높고 재현성이 떨어져 상용화에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다공성 알루미나(Anodic Aluminum Oxide, AAO)를 사용하여 Ag 나노입자가 코팅된 나노기둥 배열(Nanopillar array)을 갖는 고분자 필름의 SERS-active 기판을 제작하여 공정비용을 낮추고, 대면적화로 생산성을 높이고자 한다. 다단계 양극산화 공정과 복제 기술을 통해 다양한 지름과 높이를 갖는 맥주병 형상의 나노기둥 배열을 제조하였고, aspect ratio가 2.3인 나노기둥 배열에서 최대의 SERS 신호 강도와 높은 재현성을 확인하였다. SERS 신호의 세기는 Ag 나노입자가 코팅된 나노기둥 배열의 열처리 온도와 분석 물질의 농도에 따라 비례하며 이를 바탕으로 정량적인 고감도 진단, 바이오 화학 물질 센서에 매우 적합함을 알 수 있다.

In this review, the author discussed how the Fresnel and Fraunhoffer Diffraction can be deduced from the Huygens-Fresnel principle and Kirchhoff Diffraction Theory. Fresnel diffraction became the basic theory of the CTEM image theory, and Fraunhoffer diffraction became the base for electron diffraction and HRTEM image theory by Fourier transformation. The author also discussed the diffraction based on Born series.

The theory of characteristic modes for coaxial waveguide with periodic axial slots is used to derive the weighted eigenvalue equation for calculating the characteristic values and the characteristic currents. Once the characteristic values and the characteristic currents are obtained, the important quantities such as the equivalent magnetic current, radiation patterns, and RCS are determined. Numerical results of the equivalent magnetic currents, radiation patterns, and RCS are compared with those obtained by use of the method of moments. A fairly good correspondence is observed between them.

Using the 2-D and 3-D Hoffman brain phantom, 3-D Jaszczak phantom and Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography, the effects of data acquisition parameter, attenuation, noise, scatter and reconstruction algorithm on image quantitation as well as image quality were studied. For the data acquisition parameters, the images were acquired by changing the increment angle of rotation and the radius. The less increment angle of rotation resulted in superior image quality. Smaller radius from the center of rotation gave better image quality, since the resolution degraded as increasing the distance from detector to object increased. Using the flood data in Jaszczak phantom, the optimal attenuation coefficients were derived as 0.12cm$\^$-1/ for all collimators. Consequently, the all images were corrected for attenuation using the derived attenuation coefficients. It showed concave line profile without attenuation correction and flat line profile with attenuation correction in flood data obtained with jaszczak phantom. And the attenuation correction improved both image qulity and image quantitation. To study the effects of noise, the images were acquired for 1min, 2min, 5min, 10min, and 20min. The 20min image showed much better noise characteristics than 1min image indicating that increasing the counting time reduces the noise characteristics which follow the Poisson distribution. The images were also acquired using dual-energy windows, one for main photopeak and another one for scatter peak. The images were then compared with and without scatter correction. Scatter correction improved image quality so that the cold sphere and bar pattern in Jaszczak phantom were clearly visualized. Scatter correction was also applied to 3-D Hoffman brain phantom and resulted in better image quality. In conclusion, the SPECT images were significantly affected by the factors of data acquisition parameter, attenuation, noise, scatter, and reconstruction algorithm and these factors must be optimized or corrected to obtain the useful SPECT data in clinical applications.

A stretchable polymeric membrane shaped diffuser was used to homogenize the coherent laser beam. The developed RGB module was used to focus and defocus test by beam combiners. Average oscillation frequency was set at 180Hz~300Hz and it resulted in the best homogenization effect in visual range. The blue laser module turned out to be the worst case for the transmission and primary reason is believed to be the short length of irradiated laser beam. The developed system removed the speckling and the brightness was decreased by 10 ~ 20% for the RGB laser. Overall the brightness was decreased by 13% and homogenity with respect to the temporal axis was improved from 30fs to 110fs.

In order to obtain more clear x-ray images, an antiscatter grid, which can absorb the scattered rays, is employed. The artifacts due to the grid pattern are, however, visible, and thus should be removed by employing digital filters. For over exposed x-ray images, the strength of the grid artifacts are too big to be removed if fixed-bandwidth filters are employed. In this paper, for an efficient grid artifact reduction, we analyze the characteristics of the image formation and image saturation as the x-ray exposure increases. We can notice that, as the saturation begins to occur, the maximum of the artifact component decreases contrary to increasing exposure amount. We propose then an adaptive filtering algorithm for reduction of the grid artifacts, where the significant-signal bandwidth of the artifact component is used to choose appropriate filter bandwidths. The proposed algorithm is tested for real x-ray digital images, and can efficiently remove the grid artifacts.

This paper presents an SAR-data calibration technique using a well-calibrated scatterometer. At first a fully-polarimetric antenna pattern(magnitude and phase) of the antenna main-beam using a conducting sphere was measured. Then, this data were used to calibrate polarimetrically an auto-mounted network analyzer-based scatterometer system. This scatterometer system can be used to measure the accurate Mueller matrices of earth surfaces such as grass fields, rice fields and bare soil surfaces; i.e., the phase-difference parameters can be obtained as well as the radar scattering coefficients. If a polarimetrically calibrated scatterometer is operated at the same time with the SAR system, the scatterometer data can be used to correct the SAR data, especially the phase-difference parameters. It was found that the correction effect is remarkable for the degree of correlation ${\alpha}$, which is one of the phase-difference parameter, while the correction effect is negligible for the magnitude parameters(backscattering coefficients).

The optical performance of LLF(Lenticular Lens Film)-based backlight was studied by using optical simulation as functions of the aspect ratio and the refractive index of lenticular lenses. In order to perform reliable simulation, the BSDF(bi-directional scattering distribution function) of the scattering dots on the bottom surface of the light guide plate was obtained as a superposition of the Lambertian and the elliptic Gaussian distribution components by comparing the experimental results and the simulation for the luminance distribution on the light guide. Based on this approach, an appropriate BSDF of the scattering dots of the light guide was constructed. The resultant values of the optimized aspect ratio and the refractive were found to be 1.25 and 1.65, respectively. In spite of the hybrid aspects of LLF incorporating both diffusing and collimating functions, the optical performance, in particular the on-axis luminance of LLF-based backlight was inferior by about 20% compared to that of conventional backlights adopting one prism film. However, the combination of two lenticular lens films resulted in comparable luminance gain as well as smooth decrease in the luminance with the viewing angle without exhibiting any side lobes.
