Energy-resolved neutron imaging is an effective way to investigate the internal structure and residual stress of materials. Different sample sizes have varying requirements for the detector's imaging field of view (FOV) and spatial resolution. Therefore, a dual-mode energy-resolved neutron imaging detector was developed, which mainly consisted of a neutron scintillator screen, a mirror, imaging lenses, and a time-stamping optical fast camera. This detector could operate in a large FOV mode or a high spatial resolution mode. To evaluate the performance of the detector, the neutron wavelength spectra and the multiple spatial resolution tests were conducted at CSNS. The results demonstrated that the detector accurately measured the neutron wavelength spectra selected by a bandwidth chopper. The best spatial resolution was about 20 ㎛ in high spatial resolution mode after event reconstruction, and a FOV of 45.0 mm × 45.0 mm was obtained in large FOV mode. The feasibility was validated to change the spatial resolution and FOV by replacing the scintillator screen and adjusting the lens magnification.

본 논문은 400~900 nm 파장 대역을 갖는 가시광 및 근적외선 분광기의 조립 및 성능 평가에 대하여 보고한다. 본 분광기는 이 후 결상 망원경과 함께 시야각 ${\pm}7.68^{\circ}$을 갖는 f/2.5의 영상 분광기를 구성한다. 검출기로는 $24{\times}24{\mu}m$ 피치로 이뤄진 $640{\times}480$ 전하결합소자(CCD)가 적용된다. 분광기는 두 개의 동심 구면으로 구성된 오프터 타입이며, 분광을 위하여 2번째 거울이 회절격자 거울로 교체되어 있다. 본 논문에서 다루는 분광기 광학 설계가 제곱평균제곱근(root mean suqared, RMS) 파면 잔여 수차가 210 nm(파장 600 nm 기준, $0.35{\lambda}$)로 통상 적용되는 간섭계를 이용한 이중 경로 광학 측정법 적용이 어렵고, 또한 측정 및 정렬의 용이성을 고려하여 샤크-하트만 센서를 적용한 단일 경로 파면 측정법을 적용하여 정렬 및 조립 절차를 수립하였다. 최종 조립 후 RMS 파면 오차 변화가 전 시야에 걸쳐 90 nm이내로 정렬되었음을 확인하였다. 이 후 조립 광학 구성을 유지한 채 2개 적층슬릿 지그를 이용하여 생성한 다중 핀 홀의 크립톤 램프 분광 이미지를 획득하였으며, 획득된 이미지의 분석을 통하여 조립 분광기의 분광 분해능, 키스톤 및 스마일이 각 4.32 nm, 0.08 픽셀 및 0.13 픽셀로 요구 사항을 만족하는 것을 확인하였다. 결론적으로 샤크-하트만 센서를 적용한 오프너 분광기의 조립 절차는 유효함을 확인하였다.

Ultra-fine planing and micro punching are separately used for improving surface roughness and machining dot patterns, respectively, of metal molds. If these separate machining processes are applied for machining of identical molds, there could be an aligning mismatch between the machine tool and the mold. A hybrid machining system combining ultra-fine planing and micro punching was newly developed in this study in order to solve this mismatch; hybrid process technology was also developed for machining dot patterns on a mirror surface of a metal mold. The hybrid machining system has X, Y, and Z axes, and a cam axis for ultra-fine planing. The cam axis and attachable and removable solenoid actuators for micro punching can make large and small sizes of dot patterns, respectively. Ultra-fine planing was applied in the first place to improve the surface roughness of a metal mold; the measured surface roughness was about 20nm. Then, micro punching was applied to machine dot patterns on the same mold. It was possible to control the diameter of the dot patterns by changing the input voltage of the solenoid actuator. Before machining, severe inhomogeneous plastic deformation around the machined dot patterns was also removed by annealing heat treatment. Therefore, it was verified that metal molds with dots patterns for optical products can be machined using a hybrid machining system and the hybrid process technology developed in this study.
