최근에 국내에서도 광학장비개발에 대한 관심이 급속도로 증가하고 있다. 광학장비개발기술의 핵심은 렌즈설계 능력에 달려있다고 해도 과언이 아니다. 더구나 현재 발전추세를 보면 소형 경량화 장비의 개발을 위해 다양한 수단과 방법을 동원하고 있는 실정이다. 특히 렌즈설계에 의한 소형 경량화 목표를 달성하기 위하여 비구면 렌즈 및 회절렌즈의 사용이 불가피하다고 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 장파장 적외선 영역에서의 비구면 및 회절면의 사용에 의한 렌즈 성능에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 보았다. (중략)

국내 광학산업계에서 결상광학계에 대한 기술은 구면 광학계를 위주로 하고 있고, 소형 플라스틱 렌즈분야에서 비구면의 활용이 일반화되어 가고 있다. 앞으로 고성능 결상광학계를 중심으로 유리 비구면 렌즈의 활용이 늘어날 것으로 예상돼 유리비구면 렌즈의 성형기술의 개발이 필요하다. 또한 비구면 플라스틱렌즈의 경우 비구면의 면정도를 0.1$\mu$m 수준으로 높여야 하며, 이를 위해 탐침법에 의한 기계적 형상측정에서 간섭계를 이용하는 정밀한

We analyzed the aspheric and/or diffractive surface effects to the performance in the long wavelength infrared (8-12 $\mu$m). Also we investigated the dependence of the NA values for the fixed effective focal length 100 mm when the field angle was varied from 5 degrees to 30 degrees stepped by 5 degrees. We chose the merit function as a criteria to compare the performance of the different lenses. Based on the analysis of the aspheric and/or diffractive surface effects, we designed the optical system of F/l.0 for the uncooled thermal imaging system. As for detector the pixel size was 45 $\mu$m square and the number of pixels were a 320${\times}$240 pixels.

This study explores the compression molding of diffractive-aspheric lenses using GeSbSe chalcogenide glasses. A mold core with diffractive structure was prepared and a chalcogenide glass lens was molded at various temperatures using the corresponding core. The effect of molding temperature on the transcription characteristics of diffractive structure was examined, by measuring and comparing the diffractive structure between the mold core and the molded chalcogenide glass lens using a microscope and a white light interferometer. In addition, the applicability of the molded lens for thermal imaging was evaluated, by measuring the form error.

An F/1.2 infrared optical system that involves two aspheric BD-2 lenses and an aspheric diffractive surface was designed over $8-14{\mu}m$ with a field angle of $15.2^{\circ}$. The system may be used in uncooled cameras and is analyzed using beam synthesis propagation (BSP). The diffractive surface is modeled as a physical surface with a given thickness, and results are compared with those obtained by conventional methods, such as the exit-pupil method and a method which superposes diffraction orders.

This paper presents the design and evaluation of the optical system for an uncooled thermal-imaging camera. The operating wavelength range of this system is from $7.7{\mu}m$ to $12.8{\mu}m$. Through optimization, we have obtained a LWIR (Long Wave Infrared) optical system with a focal length of 5.44 mm, which consists of four aspheric surfaces and two diffractive surfaces. The f-number of the optical system is F/1.2, and its field of view is $90^{\circ}{\times}67.5^{\circ}$. The hybrid lens was used to balance the higher-order aberrations, and its diffraction properties were evaluated by scalar diffraction theory. We calculated the polychromatic integrated diffraction efficiency, and the MTF drop generated by background noise. We have evaluated the thermal compensation of a LWIR fixed optical system, which is optically passively athermalized to maintain MTF performance in the focal depth. In conclusion, these design results are useful for an uncooled thermal-imaging camera.

회절 광학 소자(Diffractive optical element)는 광학 시스템에 있어서 광을 조절하기 위하여 굴절(refraction) 또는 반사(reflection)보다는 주기 구조(periodic structures)에 의한 회절(diffraction)을 이용한 소자라 할 수 있다. DOE의 장점으로는 수차(aberration)가 없는 point-to-point 이미지가 가능하며 광 power를 사용한 평판(flat subface)이 가능하고 비구면과 같은 수차 조절이 가능하다. 단점으로는 HOE(Hologram Optical Element: DOE의 일종)의 수차가 이 구조의 특정 파장에서 나타나고 가시영역의 일정 영역에서 매우 분산적 (dispersive)이다. 또한 상대적으로 시장의 성장에 비하여 찾는 고객의 수가 적다는 점이다.(중략)

A high performance afocal zoom telescope has been designed to operate in the 7.6${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 10.3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ waveband for thermal imaging system. This IR zoom telescope is characterized by using of two movable optical element groups, variator and compensator, with mechanically compensated method and the positioning of these groups is controlled by means of a computerized program. The optical performance over the entire 4:1 zoom range and $\pm$2.31~$\pm$9.36 degrees field of view is near diffraction limit while maintaining a constant F-number. The all refracting surfaces of this system except only one aspheric surface are spherical curvature and the material for the optical elements is selected Ge and ZnSe which is used for correction of chromatic aberration.

A improved method to measure the wavefront aberration of aspheric lens is described. In this study, which is a kind of lateral shearing interferometry, a sinusoidal diffraction grating is used for better quality of interferogram. Also,the grating is inclined to horizontal axis for obtaining the two orthogonal derivatives and minimizing moving error simultaneously. Measurement result shows that the repeatability is about 6 times better then that of previouse Ronchi Test.
