This paper proposes a new method of measuring an air interface distance between a solid immersion lens(SIL) applied magneto-optic technology and the disk surface. For applying near-field recording (NFR) technology to the magneto-optic storage devices for the next generation, it is positively necessary to maintain the small air gap under about 100㎚. We design an apparatus that consists of some optical components such as a prism, a polarizer and an analyzer. By using the Fresnel reflection coefficient equation, Jones matrices calculation and Malus's law, we establish a mathematical model for understanding the characteristics of the system. The simulations are based on the mathematical model and through the simulation results which is made with various cases we can estimate the performance of the new optical gap sensor system. Experimental results, which are also based on the mathematical model for specific cases, are in good agreement with simulated ones and demonstrate the possibility as the new optical gap sensor.

Purpose: It is investigated whether the time division system can extend the field without diplopia for people with homonymous hemianopia. Methods: The time division system was manufactured by a modified mini fan and a black cardboard. In order to verify the effectiveness of the equipment, subjects with and without the equipment took part in the experiment to bisect the space and to recognize letters. Results: Subjects with and without the equipment showed +8.91 and +18.14 degrees in the experiment to bisect the space. In the experiment reading the letters and numbers with the equipment, there were 9 percentage point increase in $4{\times}4$ charts and 15 percentage point increase in $6{\times}6$ charts. It turned out that there was a remarkable improvement for the worst group for reading the charts. Conclusions: The time division system is effective in the mobility and orientation for people with homonymous hemianopia.
