본 연구에서는 좁은 지향각, 높은 최대 중심광도를 갖는 탐조등 광학계 설계 기술 연구를 진행하였다. 기존 탐조등 광원인 할로겐램프와 제논램프는 진동과 충격에 취약하며, 크기가 크고 무거워 운반에 많은 어려움이 있다. 또한 탐조등 후면부에 위치한 포물경은 제작 시 광원과 조립 오차에 따른 성능 저하와 낮은 광 효율의 단점을 지니고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 1 kW 할로겐램프를 150 W급 고출력 COB LED로 대체하고 목표 성능을 만족하기 위한 고효율 TIR 렌즈를 설계하였다. 이후 광학계 사출 시 발생하는 표면 오차를 해결하는 방안으로 TIR 렌즈 어레이를 제시하여 제작 신뢰성을 확보하였다. 설계된 광학계를 바탕으로 시제품을 제작한 후 시중 할로겐램프 탐조등과 성능을 비교하여 광학 성능의 우수함을 확인하였다.

Background: This study aims to develop an integrated optical system that can simultaneously or selectively measure the signals obtained from radioluminescence (RL), thermoluminescence (TL), and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), which are luminescence phenomena of materials stimulated by radioactivity, heat, and light, respectively. The luminescence mechanism of various materials could be investigated using the glow curves of the luminescence materials. Materials and Methods: RL/TL/OSL integrated measuring system was equipped with a X-ray tube (50 kV, $200{\mu}A$) as an ionizing radiation source to irradiate the sample. The sample substrate was used as a heating source and was also designed to optically stimulate the sample material using various light sources, such as high luminous blue light emitting diode (LED) or laser. The system measured the luminescence intensity versus the amount of irradiation/stimulation on the sample for the purpose of measuring RL, TL and OSL sequentially or by selectively combining them. Optical filters were combined to minimize the interference of the stimulation light in the OSL signal. A long-pass filter (420 nm) was used for 470 nm LED, an ultraviolet-pass filter (260-390 nm) was used for detecting the luminescence of the sample by PM tube. Results and Discussion: The reliability of the system was evaluated using the RL/OSL characteristics of $Al_2O_3:C$ and the RL/TL characteristics of LiF:Mg,Cu,Si, which were used as dosimetry materials. The RL/OSL characteristics of $Al_2O_3:C$ showed relatively linear dose-response characteristics. The glow curve of LiF:Mg,Cu,Si also showed typical RL/OSL characteristics. Conclusion: The reliability of the proposed system was verified by sequentially measuring the RL characteristics of radiation as well as the TL and OSL characteristics by concurrent thermal and optical stimulations. In this study, we developed an integrated measurement system that measures the glow curves of RL/TL/OSL using universal USB-DAQs and the control program.
