Purpose: To design an anamorphic aspherical prism lens for the HMD optical system. Methods: First, we get the initial data, needed in design, which are distances between each surface etc., by analyzing user's demended specifications and by drawing geometrically the shape of prism lens by using CAD. Based on these data and using 'ode V' which is an optical design software, we could progress the optimization in which we treat the coefficients of the anamorphic aspherical surface as the principal variables. To reduce the cost in DTM manufacturing, we would optimize the optical system with the transmitting surface, existed in the direction of video device among 3 surfaces of the prism lens, remaining as a plane. Results: we could design one anamorphic aspherical prism lens which has the finite ray aberration of 15 ${\mu}m$, the distortion of 0.5%, and the MTF value of 0.3 over at 36 lp/mm for the video device of 12 mm ${\times}$ 9 mm size. Conclusions: We designed a prism lens used for HMD. This prism lens has the optical capacities of 15 ${\mu}m$ finite ray aberration and 0.5% distortion for the video device of 12 mm ${\times}$ 9 mm size, and become the optical system having the MTF value of 0.3 over at 36 lp/mm.

An enhanced 360-degree integral-floating three-dimensional display system using a hexagonal lens array and a hidden point removal operator is proposed. Only the visible points of the chosen three-dimensional point cloud model are detected by the hidden point removal operator for each rotating step of the anamorphic optics system, and elemental image arrays are generated for the detected visible points from the corresponding viewpoint. Each elemental image of the elemental image array is generated by a hexagonal grid, due to being captured through a hexagonal lens array. The hidden point removal operator eliminates the overlap problem of points in front and behind, and the hexagonal lens array captures the elemental image arrays with more accurate approximation, so in the end the quality of the displayed image is improved. In an experiment, an anamorphic-optics-system-based 360-degree integral-floating display with improved image quality is demonstrated.

A system of infrared camera optics with wide field of view and anamorphic lenses is proposed, and its validity verified through manufacture. The infrared camera produced provides a wide field of view of over 100 degrees in the horizontal direction, and an even greater magnification in the vertical direction. As a result, the system can have a wider surveillance range and improved detection ability at the same time. In addition, a new optomechanical automatic athermalization mechanism is proposed and applied to the infrared camera. Its performance and utility is proved through testing.

To manufacture the lens mold used in producing polycarbonate (PC) lenses, the core manufacturing is needed and this core manufacturing is generally performed by diamond turning machine (DTM) or computer numerical control (CNC) lathe. The numerical data about the lens core feature is necessarily needed for operating of these devices. Therefore, we developed the program which calculate the numerical data about the lens core feature. The program was composed to be able to input aspherical coefficients of lens feature, display the graph of lens feature, and save the numerical data file.

Abstract Head-mounted displays(HMD) are being developed and marketed in growing numbers for a variety of applications. Though most commonly associated with entertainment applications other applications are also being developed. The field vision on the display screens is expanded by the optical system producing an imaginary screen that appears to be positioned several meters in front of the viewer. In this study, the mold core for the prism lens of HMD was processed by fly-cutting method, and the form accuracy of the mold core was measured.

Purpose: To design applied anamorphic lens that focal length ratio is 3:1 optical system to improve detecting distance. Methods: We defined a boundary condition as $50^{\circ}{\sim}60^{\circ}$ for viewing angle, horizontal direction 36mm, vertical direction 12 mm for focal length, f-number 4, $15{\mu}m{\times}15{\mu}m$ for pixel size and limit resolution 25% in 33l p/mm. Si, ZnS and ZnSe as a materials were used and 4.8 ${\mu}m$, 4.2 ${\mu}m$, 3.7 ${\mu}m$ as a wavelength were set. optical performance with detection distance, narcissus and athermalization in designed camera were analyzed. Results: F-number 4, y direction 12 mm and x direction 36 mm for focal length of the thermal optical system were satisfied. Total length of the system was 76 mm so that an overall volume of the system was reduced. Astigmatism and spherical aberration was within ${\pm}$0.10 which was less than 2 pixel size. Distortion was within 10% so there was no matter to use as a thermal optical camera. MTF performance for the system was over 25% from 33l p/mm to full field so it was satisfied with the boundary condition. Designed optical system was able to detect up to 2.9 km and reduce a diffused image by decreasing a narcissus value from all surfaces except the 4th surface. From sensitivity analysis, MTF resolution was increased on changing temperature with the 5th lens which was assumed as compensation. Conclusions: Designed optical system which used anamorphic lens was satisfied with boundary condition. an increasing resolution with temperature, longer detecting distance and decreasing of narcissus were verified.

We have investigated anamorphic prism lenses with distortions of 0.3-0.5%. We designed the plastic triangular lens and confirmed the minimum resolution using MTF graphs. Also we confirmed that the SVGA optical system can realize a resolution of $864{\times}648$ 56 megapixels. A distortion of about 0.5% aberration appears in the maximum field, and a finite beam aberration of about $15{\mu}m$ is confirmed. We made a mold based on the design data and completed the prism lens through exodus molding. We confirmed the shape error (< $30{\mu}m$) and surface roughness (> 40 nm) of the three sides. We made the video-information-display prototype glasses using prism lens by measuring the performance, we determined the distortion aberration (0.3%) and SVGA resolution. Our approach will enable fabrication of a portable large-screen display device for glasses and sunglasses for the domestic market and, after 2015, for the world market.

최근 다이오드 레이저의 파워가 높아짐에 따라 다이오드 레이저를 이용한 레이저 가공 공정이 많은 분야에서 응용되고 있다. 그러나 고출력 다이오드 레이저의 출력은 타원형의 빔이므로 정밀 공정이 어려워 원형의 빔으로 변환하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 여러 가지 렌즈를 사용하여 설계를 시도하였으며 최적의 설계로서 anamorphic prism pair를 이용하여 타원형의 빔을 원형의 빔으로 바꾸는 광학계를 설계하였으며 원형빔의 크기를 축소하기 위해 beam size reducer를 설계하였다.
