An airborne sensor is developed for remote sensing on an aerial vehicle (UV). The sensor is an optical payload for an eletro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) dual band camera that combines visible and IR imaging capabilities in a compact and lightweight package. It adopts a Ritchey-Chr$\'{e}$tien telescope for the common front end optics with several relay optics that divide and deliver EO and IR bands to a charge-coupled-device (CCD) and an IR detector, respectively. The EO/IR camera for dual bands is mounted on a two-axis gimbal that provides stabilized imaging and precision pointing in both the along and cross-track directions. We first investigate the mechanical deformations, displacements and stress of the EO/IR camera through finite element analysis (FEA) for five cases: three gravitational effects and two thermal conditions. For investigating gravitational effects, one gravitational acceleration (1 g) is given along each of the +x, +y and +z directions. The two thermal conditions are the overall temperature change to $30^{\circ}C$ from $20^{\circ}C$ and the temperature gradient across the primary mirror pupil from $-5^{\circ}C$ to $+5^{\circ}C$. Optical performance, represented by the modulation transfer function (MTF), is then predicted by integrating the FEA results into optics design/analysis software. This analysis shows the IR channel can sustain imaging performance as good as designed, i.e., MTF 38% at 13 line-pairs-per-mm (lpm), with refocus capability. Similarly, the EO channel can keep the designed performance (MTF 73% at 27.3 lpm) except in the case of the overall temperature change, in which the EO channel experiences slight performance degradation (MTF 16% drop) for $20^{\circ}C$ overall temperate change.

In high resolution imaging devices, smaller aperture in the color filter causes cross talk which provides incorrect information. Plasmonic color filters (PCFs) have been reported as an alternative of the conventional color resist based-color filter (CRCF) and many studies on PCFs demonstrated the filtering function by PCFs with a sub-micron size. In this work, we investigated the cross talk performance of PCFs compared to CRCFs. The effect of cross talk over distance from the filter were measured for each filter. Despite poorer spectral filtering characteristics, PCFs were more robust against cross talk than CRCFs. Also, the further away from the filter, the more cross talk appeared. As a result, PCFs showed less cross talk than CRCFs at about 82% of the results measured at a distance of 2~10 ㎛. This study will help to make practical use of PCFs in high-resolution imaging applications.

3차원 영상 재생을 위한 집적결상법에서 픽업시 기본영상의 크기는 기본렌즈 크기, 기본렌즈와 기본영상 사이의 간격 등 몇 가지 변수들과 일정한 관계를 갖는다. 이 기하학적 관계들을 분석하고, 기본영상의 크기 및 거리가 픽업시와 다른 경우 기본영상의 배열이나 개별적인 크기 변환에 의해 재생되는 3차원영상의 특성변화를 이론적으로 분석하고 실험을 통해 확인하였다.

3차원 영상 재생을 위한 집적결상법에서 기본영상의 재조합을 통한 재생영상의 깊이변환에 관하여 연구하였다. 렌즈 배열 또는 카메라 배열 등을 통하여 획득된 영상 배열을 적절한 조건 하에서 재조합하여 재생함으로써 재생영상의 깊이에 대해 도치(pseudoscopic) 영상 또는 정치(orthoscopic) 영상, 허상, 실상 뿐만 아니라 임의의 깊이로의 왜곡 없는 변환이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 각 변환에 대한 재조합 조건을 이론적으로 유도하고 실험을 통하여 확인하였다.

In this paper, LED arrays with segmented mirrors and a mask are presented as a new dark-field illuminator for reflective Fourier ptychographic microscopy (FPM). The illuminator can overcome the limitations of the size and the position of samples that the dark-field illuminator using a parabolic mirror has had. The new concept was demonstrated by measuring a USAF 1951 target, and it resolved a pattern in group 10 element 6 (274 nm) in the USAF target. The new design of the dark-field illuminator can enhance competitiveness of the reflective FPM as a versatile measurement method in industry.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is being developed to guide various ophthalmic surgical procedures. However, the high cost of the intraoperative OCT system limits its availability mostly to the largest hospitals and healthcare systems. In this paper, we present a design and evaluation of a low-cost intraoperative common-path free-hand scanning OCT system. The lensed fiber imaging probe is designed and fabricated for intraocular use and the free-hand scanning algorithm that could operate at a low scanning speed was developed. Since the system operates at low frequencies, the cost of the overall system is significantly lower than other commercial intraoperative OCT systems. The assembled system is characterized and shows that it meets the design specifications. The handheld OCT imaging probe is tested on multilayer tape phantom and ex-vivo porcine eyes. The results show that the system could be used as an intraoperative intraocular OCT imaging device.

An image reconstruction algorithm is vital for the image quality of a photonic integrated interferometric imaging (PIII) system. However, image reconstruction algorithms have limitations that always lead to degraded image reconstruction. In this paper, a novel image reconstruction algorithm based on deep learning is proposed. Firstly, the principle of optical signal transmission through the PIII system is investigated. A dataset suitable for image reconstruction of the PIII system is constructed. Key aspects such as model and loss functions are compared and constructed to solve the problem of image blurring and noise influence. By comparing it with other algorithms, the proposed algorithm is verified to have good reconstruction results not only qualitatively but also quantitatively.

초 미약 생물광자의 이차원적 영상을 얻기 위해 고속 초고감도 CCD 사진기를 검출기로 사용한 실험 장치를 고안하였다. 본 장치에는 식물의 잎으로부터 방출하는 지연광 (delayed luminescence)를 발생시키기 위한 조명 장치를 설치하였으며, 조명 장치와 검출기에 있는 셔터들은 서로 연동되어 동작하도록 이루어졌다. CCD 사진기에 사용된 렌즈계는, 상용렌즈들로만 구성되었는데, 시료에서 나오는 생물광자의 집광 효율 (collection efficiency)을 높이도록 최적화된 렌즈 설계에서 나온 결과를 기초로 하였다. 이 장치들을 다용도 암 상자에 장착하여 사철나무 잎에서 나오는 지연광의 영상을 성공적으로 얻었다.

The 'Amon-Ra' instrument of the proposed 'EARTHSHINE' satellite is a dual (i.e. imaging and energy) channel instrument for monitoring the total solar irradiance (TSI) and the Earth's irradiance at around the L1 halo orbit. Earlier studies for this instrument include, but not limited to, design and construction of breadboard Amon-Ra imaging channel, stray light suppression and system performance computation using Integrated Ray Tracing (IRT) technique. The Amon-Ra instrument is required to produce 0.3% in uncertainty for both Sunlight and Earthlight measurement. In this study, we report accurate estimation of the output electric signal derived from the orbital variation of radiant exitance from the Sun and the Earth arriving at the aperture and detector plane of the Amon-Ra. For this, orbital irradiance are computed analytically first and then confirmed by simulation using Integrated Ray Tracing (IRT) model. Specially, the results show the arriving power at the bolometer detector surface is $1.24{\mu}W$ for the Sunlight and $1.28{\mu}W$ for the Earthlight, producing the output signal pulses of 34.31 mV and 35.47 mV respectively. These results demonstrate successfully that the arriving radiative power is well within the bolometer detector dynamic range and, therefore, the proposed detector can be used for the in-orbit measurement sequence. We discuss the computational details and implications as well as the simulation results.
