Focusing geometry dependence of output Stokes energy in single pass methane Raman shifter is investigated. The experimental result shows that the threshold energy decreases as confocal parameter increases. This result can be explained by gain suppression caused by Stokes - anti-Stokes coupling. In this paper, we give simple analysis for the focusing geometry dependence of Stokes - anti-Stokes coupling and present the criterion of confocal parameter to reduce the gain suppression. Focusing geometry dependence of stimulated Brillouin scattering is measured and the result is in good agreement with theoretical prediction.

기존의 널리 사용되는 초음파 영상진단기에서는 수신집속은 모든 점에 대해 행하는 것이 가능하지만 송신접속은 미리 정해진 수 개의 점에 대해서만 행하는 한계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 영상화할 대상이 정지해 있거나 매우 느리게 움직이는 경우에 한하여, 송신음장 의 집속은 합성집속방법(synthetic focusing)을 사용하고, 수신집속은 동적 집속(dynamic receive focusing)을 이용함으로써 모든 영상점에서 송수신 집속하여 측방향 해상도를 향상 시키는 방법을 제안하였다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 결과 초점깊이에서와 같은 해상도를 유지하 는 음장거리(fields of depth)가 기존의 방법에 비하여 월등히 우수하였으며, 3.5MHz의 선형 배열변환기를 이용하여 펜텀 영상에 대한 실험 결과도 모든 영상 깊이에서 측방향 해상도가 기존의 B-mode의 영상보다 우수하였다.

In this paper, we present a general model for synthetic transmit focusing method using plane waves (STF-PW) of which the properties are investigated through mathematical analysis and compared with those of the conventional focusing method. The analysis results show that STF-PW produces non-diffracting beams in the sense that their main lobe widths do not change with depth. We also present a method for synthesis of plane waves to obtain a desired main lobe width while preventing grating lobe generation and a method for broadening the region over which the non-diffracting property is maintained. The proposed model and analysis results were validated through computer simulations.

The electrospinning of polyacrylonitrile dissolved in N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF) successfully produced nano-scale fibers. The processing parameters such as charged voltage, velocity of collected roller, and tip-to-collector distance (TCD) , affected the ultimate fiber size. At TCD of 5 cm, the average tiber diameter increased with increasing charged voltage because of the more aggregation between fibers due to the remaining DMF solvent on the fiber surface. But, at TCD of 9 cm, the average fiber diameter decreased as the charged voltage was increased because of complete evaporation of DMF. Also, the fiber diameter decreased with increasing the velocity of collected roller. Cross direction width (CWD) of nonwoven mat increased with decreasing the charged voltage and with increasing TCD.

A method of calculation fur propagating and focusing of focused beams generated in antenna arrays, using BPM(Beam Propagation Method), is presented in this paper. Based on the diffraction theory, the beam focusing and Propagation is studied specially for the case of the antenna way fed by the Rotman lens that is able to focus microwave power on its focal arc or generate multiple beams. There are difficulties in performing a full-wave simulation using a commercial EM simulation tool for propagating and focusing of beams because of the structural complexity and the feeding assignment of the antenna array. Therefore, as an alternative solution, the BPM is presented to calculate the beam propagation from the aperture-type antennas. From the point of view of optics, the propagations of the lens have been simplified from the Fresnel diffraction integral to the Fourier transform. Using Fourier Transform, a beam propagation method is developed to show improvement of the resolution by controlling the wavefront of wave Propagating from an aperture-type antenna array. The beam width(or spot size) and the intensity are calculated for a focused beam propagating from an array having $10\lambda$ of its size. For the beams with $20\lambda,\;30\lambda$, and $50\lambda$ of geometrical focal length, the half-power beam widths(or spot size) are about 1.1\lambda,\;1.3\lambda,\;and\;1.9\lambda$ respectively.

The application of focused ion beam (FIB) technology in micro/nano machining has become increasingly popular. Its usage in micro/nano machining has advantages over contemporary photolithography or other micro/nano machining technologies such as small feature resolution, the ability to process without masks and being accommodating for a variety of materials and geometries This paper focus to apply the sputtering technology accumulated by experiments to 3d structure fabrication with high resolution. Therefore some verifications and discussions of the characteristics of FIB sputtering results according to focal length were described in this paper. And we suggested the definition of rectangular pattern profile and made the verifications of sputtering results based on definition of it.

In medical ultrasound imaging systems, Side lobes may appear if signals outside the imaging point are not completely removed during receive focusing. If the time signal of the side lobe overlaps with the time signal (main lobe) from the image point, it is difficult to completely remove it using filter processing in the time domain. However, In the receive focusing process, when time-channel signals are Fourier-transformed, the main lobe and side lobe signals are spatially separated in the spectral domain. Therefore, the side lobes can be suppressed by multiplying the image with magnitude weights, which are determined by the magnitudes of the main and side lobes calculated in the spectral domain. In addition, when the main lobe and the side lobe spectrum are adjacent, the distance weight was applied based on the distance between them. In a 5 MHz ultrasound imaging system using a 64-channel linear transducer, point reflector and speckle images with cysts of various brightness were synthesized and weights were applied to the ultrasound image. Using computer simulations, we confirmed that the side lobes were greatly reduced without affecting the spatial resolution in the point reflector image, and the contrast was significantly improved in the cyst image with computer simulations.

In this paper, we propose a method to generate defocusing images at the focusing plane using the 3D spatial information of object through pickup process of integral imaging technique. In the proposed method, the focusing and defocusing images are generated by the convolution operation between elemental images and ${\delta}$ function array. We observed the image difference by defocusing degree according to the distance of focusing plane. To show the feasibility of the proposed method, some preliminary experiments are carried out and the results are presented.

A concept of a VSA (Virtual Source Array) is the method for an acoustic spatio-temporal focus at a selected location in the outbound direction with respect to the VSA without the need of a probe source as combines a TRP (Time-Reversal Processing) and time-delay and beam-steering. However, in TRP using the VSA concept, it is limited to the critical angle and the short distances relevant to the VSA. In this paper, the waveguide invariant theory is applied to the VSA concept to refocus the received field at ranges greater other than the critical angle and the short ranges by shifting the focused field. The suggested method is verified via numerical simulation, and the results show that the robust acoustic focusing is achieved on the selected location regardless of the limitation on the conventional VSA concept.

Since the AESA radar scans and tracks a distant targets or ground, it requires a test field which meets far-field condition before flight test. In order to test beam foaming, targeting, and availability from cluttering and jamming, it is general to build a outdoor roof-lab test site at tens of meters high. However, the site is affected by surrounding terrain, weather, and noise wave and is also requires time, space, and a lot of costs. In order to solve this problem, theoretical near-field beam foaming method has proposed. However, it requires modification of associated hardware in order to construct near-field test configuration. In this paper, we propose near-field beam foaming method which use single LUT in order to calibrate the variation of TRM(transmit-receive module) which consists AESA radar without modification of associated hardware and software. It requires less costs than far-field test and multiple LUT based near-field test, nevertheless it can derives similar experimental results.
