A camouflaged encryption scheme based on Hadamard matrix and ghost imaging is proposed. In the process of the encryption, an orthogonal matrix is used as the projection pattern of ghost imaging to improve the definition of the reconstructed images. The ciphertext of the secret image is constrained to the camouflaged image. The key of the camouflaged image is obtained by the method of sparse decomposition by principal component orthogonal basis and the constrained ciphertext. The information of the secret image is hidden into the information of the camouflaged image which can improve the security of the system. In the decryption process, the authorized user needs to extract the key of the secret image according to the obtained random sequences. The real encrypted information can be obtained. Otherwise, the obtained image is the camouflaged image. In order to verify the feasibility, security and robustness of the encryption system, binary images and gray-scale images are selected for simulation and experiment. The results show that the proposed encryption system simplifies the calculation process, and also improves the definition of the reconstructed images and the security of the encryption system.

This paper introduces volume-sharing multi-aperture imaging (VMAI), a potential approach proposed for volume reduction in space-borne imagers, with the aim of achieving high-resolution ground spatial imagery using deep learning methods, with reduced volume compared to conventional approaches. As an intermediate step in the VMAI payload development, we present a phase-1 design targeting a 1-meter ground sampling distance (GSD) at 500 km altitude. Although its optical imaging capability does not surpass conventional approaches, it remains attractive for specific applications on small satellite platforms, particularly surveillance missions. The design integrates one wide-field and three narrow-field cameras with volume sharing and no optical interference. Capturing independent images from the four cameras, the payload emulates a large circular aperture to address diffraction and synthesizes high-resolution images using deep learning. Computational simulations validated the VMAI approach, while addressing challenges like lower signal-to-noise (SNR) values resulting from aperture segmentation. Future work will focus on further reducing the volume and refining SNR management.

We present construction of 3D Earth optical Model for in-orbit performance prediction of L1 halo orbiting earth remote sensing instrument; the Albedo Monitor and Radiometer (Amon-Ra) using Integrated Ray Tracing (IRT) computational technique. The 3 components are defined in IRT; 1) Sun model, 2) Earth system model (Atmosphere, Land and Ocean), 3)Amon-Ra Instrument model. In this report, constructed sun model has Lambertian scattering hemisphere structure. The atmosphere is composed of 16 distributed structures and each optical model includes scatter model with both reflecting and transmitting direction respond to 5 deg. intervals of azimuth and zenith angles. Land structure model uses coastline and 5 kinds of vegetation distribution data structure, and its non-Lambertian scattering is defined with the semi-empirical "parametric kernel method" used for MODIS (NASA) missions. The ocean model includes sea ice cap with the sea ice area data from NOAA, and sea water optical model which is considering non-Lambertian sun-glint scattering. The IRT computation demonstrate that the designed Amon-Ra optical system satisfies the imaging and radiometric performance requirement. The technical details of the 3D Earth Model, IRT model construction and its computation results are presented together with future-works.

In optical imaging systems, such as microscopes, high resolution exposure systems, and optical storage devices, higher optical resolution is a requirement. One of the promising technologies that is able to satisfy this requirement with relatively simple construction and reliable performance are, solid immersion lens (SIL)-based near-field (NF) optical systems. High NA optical systems using annular apertures have been investigated as one solution to achieve higher resolutions and an extended focal depth. By applying an optimized annular aperture to convention SIL optical head resolution can be increased by approximately 20%. This novel SIL-based near-field optics will be verified through experiments such as measuring focused beam spot profiles and observing the topology of a measurement sample. The studied SIL-based near-field optics can be applicable to not only next generation optical storage device but also high resolution microscopy and pattering technologies.

In semiconductor manufacturing, critical dimensions indicate the features of patterns formed by the semiconductor process. The purpose of measuring critical dimensions is to confirm whether patterns are made as intended. The deposition process for an organic light emitting diode (OLED) forms a luminous organic layer on the thin-film transistor electrode. The position of this organic layer greatly affects the luminescent performance of an OLED. Thus, a system for measuring the position of the organic layer from outside of the vacuum chamber in real-time is desired for monitoring the deposition process. Typically, imaging from large stand-off distances results in low spatial resolution because of diffraction blur, and it is difficult to attain an adequate industrial-level measurement. The proposed method offers a new superresolution single-image using a conversion formula between two different optical systems obtained by a deep learning technique. This formula converts an image measured at long distance and with low-resolution optics into one image as if it were measured with high-resolution optics. The performance of this method is evaluated with various samples in terms of spatial resolution and measurement performance.

Holography is generally known as a technology that records and reconstructs 3D images by simultaneously capturing the intensity and phase information of light. Two or more interfering beams and illumination of this interference pattern onto a photosensitive recording medium allow us to control both the intensity and phase of light. Holography has found widespread applications not only in 3D imaging but also in manufacturing. In fact, it has been commonly used in semiconductor manufacturing, where interference light patterns are applied to photolithography, effectively reducing the half-pitch and period of line patterns, and enhancing the resolution of lithography. Moreover, holography can be used for the manufacturing of 3D regular structures (3D photonic crystals), not just surface patterns such as 1D or 2D gratings, and this can be broadly divided into (i) holographic recording and (ii) holographic lithography. In this review, we conceptually contrast two seemingly similar but fundamentally different manufacturing methods: holographic recording and holographic lithography. We comprehensively describe the differences in the manufacturing processes and the resulting structural features, as well as elucidate the distinctions in the diffractive optical properties that can be derived from them. Lastly, we aim to summarize the unique perspectives through which each method can appear distinct, with the intention of sharing information about this field with both experts and non-experts alike.

근축회절 이론에서는 횡배율이 달라도 파장과 수치구경이 같으면 항상 동일하게 회절한다. 하지만 수치구경이 큰 광학계에서는 비근축 회절효과에 의하여 횡배율에 따라 회절 특성이 변화하게 된다. 이 연구에서는 높은 수치구경을 가지는 무수차 광학계에서 나타나는 비근축 회절효과를 주요면의 만곡이라는 관점에서 해석하고, 배율이 다른 무수차 원추곡면경의 결상에서 비근축회절효과에 의한 MTF의 변화를 살펴보았다.

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.
