The steady-state absorption saturation of the photodarkend SDG was investigated. The absorption saturation intensity was observed to increase for the photodarkened sample. The diffraction efficiency of the permanent grating due to photodarkening was also measured using the backward DFWM technique. For the low backward pump intensity, the diffraction efficiency was proportional to the intensity of the pump beam. The origin of increasing diffraction efficiency is attributed to the difference in absorption between the permanent gratings created by photodarkening. ening.

A novel image quality evaluation method, which is based on combination of the rigorous grating diffraction theory and the ray-optic method, is proposed. It is applied for design optimization and, tolerance analysis of optical imaging systems implementing diffractive optical elements (DOE). The evaluation method can predict the quality and resolution of the image on the image sensor plane through the optical imaging system. Especially, we can simulate the effect of diffraction efficiencies of DOE in the camera lenses module, which is very effective for predicting different color sense and MTF performance. Using this method, we can effectively determine the fabrication tolerances of diffractive and refractive optical elements such as the variations' in profile thickness, and the shoulder of the DOE, as well as conventional parameters such as decenter and tilt in optical-surface alignments. A DOE-based 2M-resolution camera lens module designed by the optimization process based on the proposed image quality evaluation method shows ${\sim}15%$ MTF improvement compared with a design without such an optimization.

We present the measurement of the diffraction efficiency and response time of the photorefractive grating recorded in $LiNbO_3$ photorefractive crystal doped with 4%-mole MgO. Two laser sources were used in the experiments; frequency-doubled Q-switched Nd:YAG laser ($\lambda$=532 nm) and cw Ar-ion laser ($\lambda$=514.5 nm). The same optical geometry was also used in both experiments in order to maintain the experimental consistency. Using the two-wave mixing scheme in both experiments we measured the maximum diffraction efficiency in the range of beam intensity of 1.6~100 W/ $\textrm{cm}^2$, and the response times for both cases of recording and erasing. Two sets of results obtained from the experiments are compared and analyzed.

A multiplex recording and reading technique in photopolymer are presented In order to record the polarization gratings, polarization-sensitive materials, in which linear birefringence is induced by irradiating the polarized light, are necessary. We checked orthogonal and independence of laser. The value of the photoinduced linear polarization had effect on diffraction properties in the holographic gratings. The grating strengths of two polarization are investigated and the relevant parameters for equal diffraction intensity readout are optimized.

We prepared $C_3N_4$ films by rf plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition(PCVD) and alternating $C_3N_4$/TiN composite films by dc magnetron sputtering. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron diffraction (TED) revealed that the structure of the films is amorphous or polycrystalline, depending on deposition conditions and heat treatment. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy confirmed the presence of $sp_3\; and sp _2$ hybridized C atoms bonded with N atoms in the tetrahedral and hexagonal configurations, respectively. Graphite-free $C_3N_4$ films were obtained by PCVD under optimal conditions. To prepare well crystallized $C_3N_4$ films by magnetron sputtering, we introduced negatively biased gratings in the sputtering system. CN films deposited at grating voltages (Vg) lower than 400V are amorphous. Crystallites of cubic and $\beta$-$C_3N_4$ were formed at increased voltages.

New photopolymers were designed and prepared using the photosensitive polymer binders. The photochemical reaction of the photosensitive polymer binder was studied by virtue of UV absorption and infrared spectroscopy. The holographic gratings were successfully fabricated in these photopolymer film samples by conventional optical interference method. We also investigated the effect of photocrosslink in the polymer binder on the diffraction behavior of the photopolymer. The dynamic behaviors of the grating formation were studied with the change of exposure intensity in terms of the diffraction efficiency. Particularly, we focused our efforts to observe the variation of the diffraction efficiency during post UV curing process.

A simple multi-channel spectrum analyzer using an InGaAs array sensor and a diffraction grating is proposed and developed for high-capacity optical transport networks. With the developed multichannel spectrum analyzer, we could measure signal power, wavelength, and optical signal-to-noise ratio of each channel for multi-channel optical signals with 100 GHz and 50 GHz channel spacing, simultaneously. We could measure each channel power and wavelength with a deviation of less than 0.2 dB and 0.063 nm, respectively. We have obtained optical signal-to-noise ratio with a deviation of less than 1.0 dB compared with conventional optical spectrum analyzer in the wide input power range between -42 dBm and -27 dBm per channel.

Moire interferometry using a diffraction grating and a laser is a powerful technique for analizing small deformation of a specimen. In the method, the x and y-directional fringe patterns are obtained by using the x and y-directional sets of two beams. If the both sets of two beams are simultaneously incident to the specimen, the x and y-directional fringe patterns are super imposed. In this case, it is difficult to separate each directional fringe pattern. Therefore each fringe pattern has been separately recorded by selecting each set of two beams. In order to analyze a two-dimensional strain changing with time, Moire interferometry using the two-dimensional fourier transform method is proposed and the x and y-directional fringes are separated. By this method, the thermal deformation of a glass plate is analyzed.

We studied a periodic boundary effect in liquid crystal (LC) devices with multi-domains consisting of homeotropic and hybrid alignments. In this configuration, the surface anchoring energy was determined using the LC director-distorted length near the domain boundary, in a linear approximation of the director profile based on the continuum theory. The distorted length was measured in the LC binary diffraction grating.
