300mm F/4.0 telephotolens with diffractive hybrid lens was designed, and its optical performance was tested and compared with a traditional lens system. DOE(Diffractive Optical Element) reconstructs wavefronts using wave phenomena of light to focus the incident light onto the focal point and has negative Abbe number while a traditional lens uses geometrical phenomena of light and has positive Abbe number. Therefore, a diffractive hybrid lens containing both refractive and diffractive elements can remarkably correct chromatic aberration and spherical aberration of an optical system. We investigated and analyzed the optical properties of a diffractive hybrid lens for the visible spectrum, and we used a difractive hybrid lens to design and evaluate a 300mm F/4.0 telephotolens without the special LD(Low Dispersive) glass lens which is costly and difficult to manufacture. Most traditional telephotolenses use the special LD glass for chromatic aberration correcton. Optical performance tests such as resolution and characteristics of aberration of both lens systems using a diffractive hybrid lens and traditional lens were performed.

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.

Background: We compared the efficacy between trifocal and bifocal diffractive intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Methods: Through PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CENTRAL, we searched potentially relevant articles published from 1990 to 2018. Defocus curves, visual acuities (VAs) were measured as primary outcomes. Spectacle dependence, postoperative refraction, contrast sensitivity (CS), glare, and higher-order aberrations (HOAs) were measured as secondary outcomes. Effects were pooled using random-effects method. Results: We included 11 clinical trials, with a total of 787 eyes (395 subjects). The trifocal IOL group showed better binocular distance VA corrected with defocus levels of -0.5, -1.0, -1.5, and -2.5 diopter than the bifocal IOL group (All $P{\leq}0.004$). The trifocal IOL group showed better monocular uncorrected distance and intermediate VAs (mean difference [MD], -0.04 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution [logMAR]; 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.07, -0.01; P = 0.006 and MD, -0.07 logMAR; 95% CI, -0.13, -0.01; P = 0.03, respectively). Postoperative refraction, glare, CS, and HOAs were not significantly different from each other. Conclusion: The overall findings indicate that trifocal diffractive IOL implantation is better than the bifocal diffractive IOL in intermediate VA, and provides similar or better in distance and near VAs without any major deterioration in the visual quality.

A method to focus the object in camera system by applying the Hill climb algorithm from optical lens moving device (VCM; Voice coil motor) is proposed. The focusing algorithm from VCM is focus on the object but in these criteria is a well-known drawback; the focus is good only at same distance objects but the focus is bad (blur image) at different distance objects because of the DOF (Depth of focus) or DOF (Depth of field) at the optical characteristic. Here, the new camera system that describes the Reflector of free curvature systems (or Diffractive Fresnel lens) and the partition of focusing window area is proposed. The method to improve the focus in all areas (different distance objects) is proposed by new optical system (discrete auto in-focus) using the Reflector of free curvature systems (or Diffractive Fresnel lens) and by applying the partition of all areas. The proposal is able to obtain good focus in all areas.

본 논문에서는 회절광학소자를 이용하여 컴팩트형 디지털 스틸 카메라용 광학계를 설계 및 평가하였다. 기존의 디지털 스틸 카메라용 광학계가 retrofocus 형태인 것에 비해 컴팩트한 광학계를 얻기 위해서 telephoto 형태로 구성하였다. 또한, 본 광학계를 회절광학소자와 굴절광학소자가 결합된 hybrid 플라스틱 렌즈 1매와 순수한 굴절광학소자 1매로 구성하여 무게, 부피등을 줄이고자 하였다. Gauss 괄호를 이용한 근축 광선추적을 통해 초기 설계치를 수치 해석적인 방법으로 구하였다. 제1면을 비구면화하고, 색수차를 보정하기 위해 제2면을 회절광학소자를 이용하여 설계된 광학계는 1/4" CCD, F/4에 대응되도록 최적화하였다. 최종적으로 설계된 광학계의 초점거리는 3.89mm, 전장(overall length)은 5.19mm로서 컴팩트하며, 현재의 디지털스틸 카메라용 광학계에서 요구하는 성능을 충분히 만족하며, 차세대 화상통신용 광학계에 응용될 수 있을것으로 기대된다.

본 연구는 초슬림의 광학 시스템에 적용 가능한 서브 미크론의 패턴으로 구성된 고효율 회절 렌즈의 금형을 가공하는 방법에 관한 것이다. 서브미크론의 패턴으로 구성된 고효율 회절 렌즈를 가공하기 위해 분해능이 뛰어난 전자빔 노광장치와 고속 원자 빔 플라즈마 에칭 공정을 바탕으로 다중 정렬방식을 이용하였다. 다중 정렬 방식을 이용하여 고효율 회절 렌즈를 가공 하기 위해서는 정렬 오차, 노광 오차 그리고 에칭 오차를 최소화 해야만 한다. 본 연구에서는 이 주요한 세 가지 가공 오차를 최소화 하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 지름 $267\;{\mu}m$ (NA=0.25), 최소 선 폭 226 nm, 렌즈 두께 819 nm 를 가지는 고효율 회절 렌즈 가공을 실현 하였다.

In order to operate CD and DVD compatibly in a pickup system, the objective lens comprise diffractive optical element(DOE) zone and aspheric curvature on its lens surface. The DOE objective lens is effective to simplify this dual-purpose pickup system of the 655nm and 785nm wavelength by using only one lens, but requires more precision manufacturing process and system due to the complicated shape. This paper presents the overall manufacturing process of this objective lens and describes main parameters in each process, for the correction of the aspheric surface in its core, the shrinkage compensation after injection molding, and the uniformity compensation by adjusting molding conditions.

본 논문은 하이브리드 굴절/회절광학소자를 이용한 초슬림 모바일 카메라 렌즈를 보고한다. 먼저 앞서 보고된 23개의 광학 설계 사양 분석을 통해 전장길이(total track length) 최소화를 위하여, 광시야 렌즈 설계에서 일반적으로 적용되는 음(-)의 렌즈를 제1렌즈로 사용하는 리트로포커스(retrofocus) 타입이 아닌, 양(+)의 렌즈가 제일 먼저 선행하는 텔레포토(telephoto) 타입을 선택하였다. 이후 초기 최적 설계 및 제르니케 다항식 기반 수차 분석을 통한 보정 설계를 진행하였으며, 보정 설계 과정에서 잔여 구면색수차(chromatic spherical aberration)의 효과적 제거를 위하여 굴절 및 회절이 결합된 하이브리드 렌즈 1매를 적용하였다. 적용된 최종 설계는 하이브리드 렌즈 1매 포함 총 6매의 렌즈를 이용하여 F/2.0, 화각 90°, 유효초점길이 2.23 mm, 전장길이 3.7 mm를 달성하였고, 결과적으로 1.7의 낮은 전장길이 대 초점길이 비 즉, 텔레포토비(telephoto ratio)를 달성하였다. 동일 전장길이를 갖는 하이브리드 렌즈 미적용 비교 설계 대비, 공간주파수 180 cycles/mm에서 MTF 값이 중심 시야에서는 63%에서 71~73%로 약 8~10% 개선되었고, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 시야에서도 2~3% 개선되었다. 또한, 가공성 및 회절 패턴에 의한 산란 등을 고려하였을 때 조리개에 위치한 렌즈가 하이브리드 렌즈로 적절함을 알 수 있었고, 이 경우 2개의 회절존으로도 성능 개선이 확인되었다.

This paper presents the design and evaluation of the optical zoom system for an LWIR camera. The 12.8operating wavelength range of this system is from $7.7{\mu}m$ to $12.8{\mu}m$. Through a paraxial design and optimization process, we have obtained the extended four-group inner-focus zoom system with focal lengths of 10 to 100 mm, which consists of the six lenses including four aspheric surfaces and two diffractive surfaces. The diffractive lenses were used to balance the higher-order aberrations, and its diffraction properties were evaluated by scalar diffraction theory. We have calculated the polychromatic integrated diffraction efficiency and the MTF drop generated by background noise. The f-number of the zoom system is F/1.4 at all positions. Fields of view are given by $51.28^{\circ}{\times}38.46^{\circ}$ at wide field and $5.50^{\circ}{\times}4.12^{\circ}$ at narrow field positions. In conclusion, this design procedure results in a $10{\times}$ compact zoom lens system useful for an LWIR camera.
