Ultra Precision Machining Techniques, such as manufacturing Micro Lens Array(MLA), off-axis mirror, $F-{\theta}$ lens for laser printer, are achieved, based on technologies in consequence of development of modern high-precision machining mechanism. Above all, FTS(Fast Tool Servo) and STS(Slow Tool Servo) are more innovative technologies for reducing time and development costs. In this paper, it is described that MLA machining technique by FTS, off-axis mirror machining technique by STS, optics for observing space, and development of infrared aspheric lens for a thermal imaging microscope.

Using an IR (infrared) optical system of observation and research were performed long before. Nowadays satellites equipped with IR optical system observe the earth and universe. In this paper, we developed the IR optical system for main payload of the STSAT-3 (Science and Technology Satellite -3). We studied the ultra precision machining technique to fabricate FPL-53 lenses which is the IR optical material for space observation camera of the STSAT-3. DOE (Design of Experiment) was used to find best machining characteristic for FPL-53. Finally we fabricated FPL-53 aspheric lens with the form accuracy of P-V $0.36\;{\mu}m$.

In this article, a historical and scientific review on the development of an ultrafast electron microscope is supplied, and the challenges in further improvement of time resolution under sub-picosecond or even sub-femtosecond scale is reviewed. By combining conventional scanning electron microscope and femtosecond laser technique, an ultrafast electron microscope was invented. To overcome its temporal resolution limit which originates from chromatic aberration and Coulomb repulsion between individual electrons, a generation of electron pulse via strong-field photoemission has been investigated thoroughly. Recent studies reveal that the field enhancement and field accumulation associated with the near-field formation at sharply etched metal nanoprobe enabled such field emission by ordinary femtosecond laser irradiation. Moreover, a considerable acceleration reaching 20 eV with near-infrared laser and up to 300 eV acceleration with mid-infrared laser was observed, and the possibility to control the amount of acceleration by varying the incident laser pulse intensity and wavelength. Such findings are noteworthy because of the possibility of realizing a sub-femtosecond, few nanometer imaging of nanostructured sample.in silicon as thermoelectric materials.

We carried out the high-resolution dielectric mapping of graphenes on $SiO_2$/Si substrate, using the scattering Apertureless Near-Field Scanning Optical Microscopy (s-ANSOM) in both visible (633 nm) and infrared (3.6 um) wavelengths. In the visible wavelength, the dielectric contrasts are almost proportional to the number of the graphene layers, which indicates that the near-field interaction between the tip and individual graphene layers leads to an image charge oscillation in two-dimension. In the infrared region, on the other hand, we observe unique layer-specific contrasts that do not linearly increase with number of layers. It is attributed to the layer-dependent band- structure of graphenes.

A free piston and free displacer(FPFD) Stirling cryocooler for cooling infrared and cryo-sensors is currently under development at KIMM(Korea Institute of Machinery ＆ Materials). Our coolers are specifically designed to work in the thermal imaging device and to meet requirements such as cooling capacity, COP and high reliability. In this work, Stirling cryocooler is designed, manufactured and fabricated, and performance characteristics are investigated. This cooler delivers approximately 0.5W cooling at 77K for 30W ∼ 40W of input power from AC power supply. And, after the climate performance and reliability for the cryocooler is discussed, operating test without cooling load at the cold end is performed.

A bolometer sensor used in an infrared thermal imaging system has many advantages on the process because it does not need a separate cooling system and its manufacturing is easy. However the sensitivity of the bolometer is low and the fixed pattern noise(FPN) is large, because the bolometer sensor is made by micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS). These problems can be fixed-by using the high performance readout integrated circuit(ROIC) with noise reduction techniques. In this paper, we propose differential delta sampling circuit to remove the mismatch noise of ROIC itself, the FPN of the bolometer. And for reduction of FPN noise, the reference signal compensation circuit which compensate the reference signal by using on-resistance of MOS transistor was proposed.

This paper describes the design principles and methods of electronic processor for thermal imager with 320$\times$240 staring array infrared detector. For the detector's nonuniformity correction and excellent image quality, we have designed the multi-point correction method using the defocusing technique of the optics. And to enhance the image of low contrast and improve the detection capability, the new technique of histogram processing has been designed. Through these image processing techniques, we have developed the high quality thermal imager and acquired a satisfactory thermal image. The result of MRTD(Minimum Resolvable Temperature Difference) is $0.1^{\circ}C$ at 4cycles/mard.

본 논문에서는 생체 내부를 비침습적으로 영상화하기 위한 방법으로 생체내에서의 빛의 전파가 흡수보다는 산란이 지배적으로 작용하는 근적외선(NIR, near-infrared) 영역의 레이저 광원 및 광 검출기를 이용하여 주파수영역(frequency-domain) 확산 광 단층촬영(DOT, diffuse optical tomography) 시스템을 구현하였으며, 생체조직을 모사한 액체 팬텀에 광학적 특성이 다른 이형성분(anomaly)을 삽입하여 실험적으로 흡수 및 산란 분포에 대한 영상을 복원함으로써 이형성분의 위치와 형태에 대한 정보를 획득하였다.
