The injection-locking of the broad-area diode laser was analysed by using the Fabry-Perot model. The far-field pattern of the output beam was able to be treated by superposing the individual beams emitted from the front facet due to the multiple reflections between the front and rear facets. and the exact near and far field patterns were obtained. The angle-steering effect according to change of the incident frequency was changed was calculated and found to be 0.022 degree/GHz with a bandwidth of 120 GHz.20 GHz.

In most previous investigations of plasmonic and metamaterial applications, the metallic film has been regarded as a perfect electrical conductor. Here we demonstrate the resonance characteristics of THz metamaterials fabricated from metal film that has a finite dielectric constant, using finite-difference time-domain simulations. We found strong redshift and spectral broadening of the resonance as we decrease the metal's plasma frequency in the Drude free-electron model. The frequency shift can be attributed to the effective thinning of the metal film, originating from the increase in penetration depth as the plasma frequency decreases. On the contrary, only peak broadening occurs with an increase in the scattering rate. The metal-thickness dependence confirms that the redshift and spectral broadening occur when the effective metal thickness drops below the skin-depth limit. The electromagnetic field distribution illustrates the reduced field enhancement and reduced funneling effects near the gap area in the case of low plasma frequency, which is associated with reduced charge density in the metal film.

A femtosecond-laser inscribed Yb:YAG surface channel waveguide (WG) laser with single-walled carbon nanotubes deposited on the top surface of the WG was passively Q-switched by evanescent field interaction. Q-switched operation of the 14-mm-long compact Yb:YAG WG laser was achieved near 1031 nm with two different pumping schemes (single- and double-pass pumping) with an output coupling transmission of 91%. The Q-switched pulse characteristics depending on the absorbed pump power were investigated for both pumping geometries and analyzed in detail based on theoretical modeling. The best performances (energy/pulse duration) for each configuration were 204.4 nJ/75 ns at a repetition rate of 1.87 MHz, and 201.1 nJ/81 ns at 1.75 MHz for single- and double-pass pumping, respectively.

We designed and constructed the Cs beam tube which consists of a Ramsey cavity, four C-field rods, fluorescence detecting systems, and etc. for developing an optically pumped Cs atomic clock. A semiconductor laser was used for optical pumping and probing in the Cs beam. We observed Ramsey resonance signal by detecting the fluorescence signal in the probing region as the microwave frequency injected into the Ramsey cavity was scanned near 9192.6 MHz which corresponds to the "clock transition" of Cs atoms. We found that the linewidth of the Ramsey signal was 200 Hz, the magnetic field intensity was $8.61\muT$ when the current of 0.8A flowed in the C-field rods, and the second order Zeeman shift by the magnetic field was 3.17 Hz.s 3.17 Hz.

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of visual field training on visual function, visual perception and attention enhancement. Methods. We examined the changes of visual function and visual perception tests for children with mild developmental disabilities through vision therapy. Results. At the time of the initial visit of the child, the ability to control not only distant and near visual function, but also accommodation, was also very limited. Also, the visual perception score was measured at 80 points. Through vision therapy, it was confirmed that the improvement of control ability as well as the visual function and visual perception function test results were also improved to 108 points. Conclusion. It was confirmed that vision therapy results in an improvement of visual function, improved visual perception ability, as well as visual perception ability, It was concluded that visual function affected visual perception, and that vision therapy used in order to prevent visual function deterioration was found to be very helpful.

Purpose: This study was aimed to investigate effects of increased breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) which is the standard measurement of alcohol consumption in sobriety test under current laws on visual acuity and values of objective refraction. Methods: For twenty three males in 20s (average age $21.17{\pm}2.19$ years, body mass index (BMI) $22.09{\pm}2.16$) were selected. Distance and near visual test was performed at BrAC of 0%, 0.05% and 0.08%, and objective refraction with open-field auto-refractometer was also performed at different BrAC. Results: As breath alcohol concentration is increased, distance visual acuity was decreased, which was statistically significant, but near visual acuity was not changed. Also, values of objective refraction tended to be increased towards minus as breath alcohol concentration is increased. Conclusions: As breath alcohol concentration is increased, corrected visual acuity is decreased and refractive power is towards minus, it is necessary that visual acuity test and refraction measurement should be conducted under sober condition.

In this paper a catadioptric laser-irradiation-precision test system is designed, to achieve a high-precision laser-irradiation-accuracy test. In this system, we adopt the method of imaging the entire target surface at a certain distance to realize the measurement of laser-irradiation precision. The method possesses the advantages of convenient operation, high sensitivity, and good stability. To meet the test accuracy requirement of 100 mm/km (0.01%), the coma, field curvature, and distortion over the entire field of view should be eliminated from the optical system's design. Taking into account the whole length of the tube and the influence of stray light on the structure type, a catadioptric system with a hood added near the primary imaging surface is designed. After optimization using the ZEMAX software, the modulation transfer function (MTF) of the designed optical system is 0.6 at 30 lp/mm, the full-field-of-view distortion is better than 0.18%, and the energy concentration in the 10-㎛-radius surrounding circle reaches about 90%. The illumination-accuracy test results show that the measurement accuracy of the radiation hit rate is better than 50 mm when the test distance is 1 km, which is better than the requirement of 100 mm/km for the laser-irradiation-accuracy test.

The reimaging optics of the KASINICS (KASI Near Infrared Camera System) includes many transparent components like an entrance window, band-pass filters, and blocking filters. As observational targets or in-field background objects, bright stars may cause optical ghosts that can significantly degrade the system performance of the KASINICS. We estimated analytically the relative brightness of ghost components with respect to a point source and examined the effects of tilting optical components as a method of suppressing ghosts. We also performed numerical ray tracings including all the optical components and found the results are consistent with those of the analytic estimations. We conclude that the KASINICS will not suffer from significant ghost effects with appropriate anti-reflection coatings and fittings for the optical components.

A collimator refers to an optical system that images a collimated beam at a desired point. A resolution target located at a near distance can be converted into a virtual image located at a long distance. To test the resolution for mobile cameras, a large target is placed at a long distance. If a collimator system is used, the target can be placed at a near distance. The space required for a resolution inspection can thus be drastically reduced. However, to inspect a mobile camera, the exit pupil of the collimator system and the entrance pupil of the mobile camera must match, and the stop of the collimator system must be located on the last surface. Because a collimator system cannot be symmetrical with respect to the stop, the distortion becomes extremely large, which can be corrected by combining the collimator symmetrically with respect to the object plane. A novel system was designed to inspect an optical lens on a mobile phone. After arranging the refractive power, lenses were added using the equivalent lens design method. The distortion was reduced to less than 1%. This optical system satisfies a half-field angle of 45° and an optical performance sufficient for inspection.

For higher recording density in optical data storage, near field optics is being actively researched as one of the promising alternatives. But the tight assembling tolerance in NFR is one of big barriers to overcome for the realization of it. In this paper, the tolerances in assembling optic components of NFR system are analyzed. Some of key tolerances can be loosened by the optimization of objective lens design. But one of them become too tight by the optimization and should be controlled by other means. One of possible methods to control the tolerance is discussed.
