The performance of astronomical telescopes can be negatively affected by atmospheric turbulence. To address this issue, techniques for atmospheric turbulence correction have been developed, requiring the simulation of atmospheric turbulence in the laboratory. The most practical way to simulate atmospheric turbulence is to use a phase plate. When measuring a phase plate that simulates strong turbulence, a Shack-Hartmann wave-front sensor is commonly used. However, the laser power decreases as it passes through the phase plate, potentially leading to a weak laser signal at the sensor. This paper investigates the need to control the laser power when measuring a phase plate that simulates strong atmospheric turbulence, and examines the effects of the laser power on the measured wavefront. For phase plates with relatively high Fried parameter r₀, the laser power causes a variation of over 10% in r₀. For phase plates with relatively low r₀, the laser power causes a variation of less than 5%, which means that the influence of the laser power is negligible for phase plates that simulate strong atmospheric turbulence. Based on the system described in this paper, a phase plate simulating strong atmospheric turbulence can be measured at a laser power of 5 mW or higher. Therefore, controlling the laser's output power is necessary when measuring a phase plate for simulating atmospheric turbulence, especially for phase plates with low r₀ values.

We have studied and demonstrated general, systematic error-correction methods for a dual rotating quarter-wave plate ellipsometer. To estimate and correct 5 systematic error sources (three offset angles and two unexpected retarder phase delays), we used 11 of the 25 Fourier components of the ellipsometry signal obtained in the absence of an optical sample. Using these 11 Fourier components, we can determine the errors from the 5 sources with nonlinear optimization methods. We found systematic errors ${\epsilon}_3$, ${\epsilon}_4$, ${\epsilon}_5$) are more sensitive to the inverted Mueller matrix than retarder phase delay errors (${\epsilon}_1$, ${\epsilon}_2$) because of their small condition numbers. To correct these systematic errors we have found that error of any variety must be less than 0.05 rad. Finally, we can use the magnitudes of these errors to correct the Mueller matrix of optical components. From our experimental ellipsometry signals, we can measure phase delay and the rotational angular position of its fast axis for a half-wave plate.

In this paper, we consider the effects on the bandpass filter characteristics due to the phase variation of the inverters with frequency, which introduces the deviations of the bandpass filter characteristics from the design goals. In order to resolve these kinds of problems, we proposed novel inverter configurations. And we derived the inverter formulas for the proposed inverter configuration. By employing the proposed inverter configuration and the derived formulas, bandpass filters are designed and simulated. In order to show the validity of the proposed design method, the simulation characteristics are compared with design results by conventional design procedures. Compared results show the compensation of the deviations of bandpass filter characteristics without any optimization or iterative design procedures and additional calculation efforts.

In general, the accelerogram of earthquake ground motion or the accelerogram obtained from dynamic tests contain various errors. In these errors of the accelerograms, there are instrumental errors(magnitude and phase distortion) due to the response characteristics of accelerometer and the digitizing error concentrated in low and high frequency components and random errors. Then, these errors may be detrimental to the results of data processing and dynamic analysis. An efficient method which can correct the errors of the accelerogram is proposed in this study. The correction of errors can be accomplished through four steps as followes ; 1) using an interpolation method a data form appropriate to the error correction is prepared, 2) low and high frequency errors of the accelerogram are removed by band-pass filter between prescribed frequency limits, 3) instrumental errors are corrected using dynamic equilibrium equation of the accelerometer, 4) velocity and displacement are obtained by integrating corrected accelerogram. Presently, infinite impulse response(IIR) filter and finite impulse response (FIR) filter are generally used as band-pass filter. In the proposed error correction procedure, the deficiencies of FIR filter and IIR filter are reduced and, using the properties of the differentiation and the integration of Fourier transform, the accuracy of instrument correction and integration is improved.

A novel method was proposed for determining the residual stress profile of an optical fiber by using a modified polariscope. Measurement results of the axisymmetric residual stress for a conventional single-mode fiber were demonstrated by using this method. It was found that non-uniform stress is distributed in the cladding of the fiber. This means that large mechanical stress is induced as a function of temperature generated near the neck shape of the fiber preform.

A derotator VLSI which compensates for the frequency and phase errors of a received signal in digital communication systems was developed employing a CORDIC algorithm. The CORDIC circuit directly rotates the input signal according to the phase error information, thus is much simpler than the conventional derotator architecture which consists of a DDFS (Direct Digital Frequency Synthesizer) and a complex multiplier. Since a derotator needs only small phase error accumulation, a fast direction sequence generation method which exploits the linearity of the arctangent function in small angles is utilized in order to enhance the operating speed. The chip was designed and implemented using a $0.6\mu\textrm{m}$ triple metal CMOS process by the full custom layout method. The whole chip size is $6.8\textrm{mm}^2$ and the maximum operating frequency is 25 MHz.

Passive noise reduction is a classical approach to attenuate industrial noise, and an active noise cancellation has several advantages over the passive noise cancellation. The active noise reduction system offers a better low frequency performance with a smaller and lighter system. This paper presents a simple active closed loop control system which consists of an controller for inverting and compensating the phase delay, a microphone for picking up the external noise, and a loudspeaker for radiating the acoustic out of phase signal to reduce the external noise, and external noise can be reduced after compensating the phase difference to be $180^{\circ}$ in the frequency of maximum value in the amplitude response. The noise of the phase delay covered from $50^{\circ}\;to\;310^{\circ}$ tends to be reduced in the active noise control system and it is possible to obtain a noise cancelling of up to approximately 20[dB] at the ears in the enclosurer.

As technologies evolve, 3D measurement techniques using cameras have been developed continuously. In 3D measurement, high accuracy, fast speed, and easy implementation are very important factors. Recently, 3D measurement using multi-frequency fringes has been widely used. This method is generally a method of measuring the height of a image obtained by projecting a sine wave through the projector. The sine wave is produced by software. However, this sine wave is not a perfect sine wave by gamma of projector. This is given a bad influence on the height measurement, and can not measure the correct height. In this paper, we propose a method for correcting the phase of the sine wave to avoid being affected gamma. Through this method it will be able to make more accurate height measurement.

MAI (multiple aperture SAR interferometry) method has been recently developed to improve the measurement accuracy of along-track surface deformation. By means of split-beam SAR processing, this novel technique produces forward- and backward-looking interferograms, which are combined to generate an MAI interferogram. The along-track surface deformation can then be derived from the MAI interferogram. The achieved accuracy of the along-track surface deformation is approximately 8 cm for interferograms with a coherence of 0.6. It is commonly recognized that the topographic phase on an MAI interferogram can be ignored. However, in this paper, we have generated an MAI interferogram from an ALOS P ALSAR interferometric pair spanning the 2010 Haiti earthquake, and shown that the topographic phase distortion on the MAI interferogram can reach to about $3.45{\times}10^{-4}$ rad./m. This distortion corresponds to an along-track surface deformation of about 98 cm. We have proposed an efficient method to remove the topographic phase distortion. After correcting the distortion, the topographic phase distortion on the MAI interferogram is reduced to about $7.82{\times}10^{-6}$ rad./m. This means that the proposed method can effectively remove the topographic distortion on the MAI interferogram to improve along-track surface deformation measurement.
