A new technique for the measurement of surface roughness based on the intensity fluctuations of laser light backscattered from a moving surface has been introduced. This paper reports a method of measuring surface roughness using coherent optics and interferometry. Included are both the theory of the technique and experimental verification. The range of surface roughness which can be accurately measured by this method is also reported.

Directional emission of light exiting a photonic crystal waveguide by a coherent action of radiative surface modes was recently demonstrated, and subsequently the substantial enhancement of the directional emission was achieved by engineering the surface and adjusting relevant parameters. Here we present the analysis of surface modes causing the enhanced emission by the plane wave expansion method and the finite-difference time-domain method. In particular, surface band structures are calculated for nonradiative and radiative surface modes, respectively, and intensity profiles of some representative modes for nonradiative and radiative cases are given.

가속된 전자빔을 금속회절격자의 위로 통과시킬 때 결맞은 복사광(coherent radiation)이 발생하는데 이를 Smith- Purcell 효과라고 한다. 이때 발생하는 전자기파의 파장은 회절격자의 주기, 전자빔의 속도 및 복사광의 방출각도에 관계된다$^{(1)}$ . 그리고 방출된 복사광의 출력세기는 전자빔의 군집을 고려하지 않는 경우, 회절이론(diffraction theory)에 의해 얻을 수 있는데, 그 세기는 입사시킨 전자빔의 전류세기에 선형적으로 비례한다$^{(2)}$ . (중략)

The new coherent scatter ionospheric radar has been operating at Gyerong city ($36.18^{\circ}N$, $127.14^{\circ}E$, dip lat $26.7^{\circ}N$), South Korea. This VHF radar is consisted of 24 Yagi antennas having 5 elements and observes the E- and F-region field-aligned irregularities (FAIs) in a single frequency of 40.8 MHz with a peak power of 24 kW. We present the first results of the E- and F-region FAIs over Korea by using the new VHF coherent scatter ionospheric radar. The morphological and echo characteristics are studied in terms of their echo strength, Doppler velocity and also by spectral width values. From the continuous observations from December 2009, we found ionospheric E- and F-region FAIs appeared frequently. The most interesting and striking observations for E region are occurrence of daytime E-region irregularities and strong Quasi-Periodic (QP) echoes at nighttime. And for F region, strong post-sunset and pre-sunrise FAIs appeared frequently. The VHF radar observations over Korea are discussed in the light of current understanding of mid-latitude E- and F-region FAIs.

We investigated the characteristics of the nonlinear magneto-optic effect (NMOE) depend on the transitions, the laser intensity and the temperature of the vapor cell, in the $D_1$ transition of $^{87}Rb$ atoms by using the Rb vapor cell contained with buffer gas of Ne 6.7 kPa. The size and the width of NMOE signal were increased according to the light intensity and temperature in the transition of F=2$\to$F'=2. However, In the case of using the F=2$\to$F'=1 transition, the size of the signal could be increased according to the light intensity without additional broadening of the width. We confirmed that the sensitivity of detecting small magnetic flux improved in this transition, and explained these effects by the different of the CPT configuration between Zeeman sublevels. At the optimal condition in experiment, the sensitivity of this system was evaluated less then $70pT/\sqrt{Hz}$.

We present a fast inspection method of machine vision for in-line quality assurance of liquid crystal displays(LCD) and plasma display panels(PDP). The method incorporates an optical spatial filter in the Fourier plane of the imaging optics to block the normal periodic pattern, extracting only defects real time without relying on intensive software image process. Special emphasis is on designing a collimated white light source to provide high degree of spatial coherence for effective real time Fourier transform. At the same time, a low level of temporal coherence is attained to improve defect detection capabilities by avoiding undesirable coherent noises. Experimental results show that the proposed inspection method offers a detection accuracy of 15% tolerance, which is sufficient for industrial applications.

The scattered light intensity from a spherical particle passing through the cross-over region of two coherent laser beams, varies periodically. Photodetection of this light beams produces a periodic signal of varying amplitude. The phase of the signal varies with the particle size and refractive index, the beam crossing angle and wavelength, and the position and size of the scattered ligth collecting aperture. In this paper the phase variation with respect to the particle absorptive index of retraction, collecting lens size and beam crossing angle is calculated using both Mie scattering theory and reflection theory. The two theories show good agreement in phase predictions, especially for large absorptive indices and for small collection lenses. Both theories predict phase to be inversely proportional to the beam crossing angle.

For coherent optical information processing the thickness uniformity of the spatial light modulators(SLMs)is highly demanded. The liquid crystal display(LCD), which is commercialized as a pocket-sized television, is considered as one of the most cheap 2-dimensional SLM. But usually it has lack of thickness uniformity. Thus phase correction to compensate the thickness nonuniformity must be preceded before it is used as an SLM. In this paper relatively easy phase compensation method applicable to binary SLMs is discussed and experimentally verified by using the optical joint transformantion concept.

Optical communication according to request of technology of communications and optical fiber to be full filed faster communication and pass over transmission capacity limit per unit area, per unit hour appeared, and this optical fiber acts the biggest role to influence performance of optical communication network.
