In this study, we investigated alignment state estimation performances of the three methods i.e. merit function regression (MFR), differential wavefront sampling (DWS) and Multiple Design Configuration Optimization (MDCO). The three target optical systems are 1) a two-mirror Cassegrain system for deep space Earth observation, 2) intermediate size three-mirror anastigmat for Earth ocean monitoring, and 3) extremely large segmented optical system for astronomical observation. We ran alignment state estimation simulation for several alignment perturbation cases including 1mm to 10mm in decenter and from 0.1 to 1 degree in tilt perturbation error for the two-mirror Cassegrain system. In general, we note that MDCO shows more competitive estimation performance than MFR and DWS. The computational concept, case definition and the simulation results are discussed with implications to future works.

We studied the electro-optical characteristic of vertical alignment liquid crystal display(VA-LCD) on the $SiO_x$ thin film deposited $45^{\circ}$ oblique by rf magnetic sputtering system. LC alignment characteristic showed homeotropic alignment, and pretilt angle was about $90^{\circ}$. A uniform liquid crystal alignment effect on the $SiO_x$ thin film was achieved and the electro-optical characteristic of the $SiO_x$ thin film deposited $45^{\circ}$ oblique by rf magnetic sputtering system was excellent.

Within LG.Philips Displays electron gun assembly different grid alignment methods are used. Besides the commonly used mandrel alignment of grids (Inner Reference System, IRS), also a unique Outer Reference System (ORS) is used as grid alignment method in high-end gun assembly. This alignment method combines alignment accuracy with maximum electron optical design freedom and maximum flexibility in electron gun production.

For small earth observation satellites, alignment between the optical components is important for precise observation. However, satellite cameras are structurally subject to misalignment in the launch environment where vibration excitations and impacts apply, and in space environments where zero gravity, vacuum, radiant heat and degassing occur. All of these variables can cause misalignment among the optical components. The misalignment among optical components results in degradation of image quality, and a re-alignment process is needed to compensate for the misalignment. This process of re-alignment between optical components is referred to as a refocusing process. In this paper, we proposed a 3 - axis focusing mechanism to perform the refocusing process. This mechanism is attached to the back of the secondary mirror and consists of three piezoelectric inertia-friction actuators to compensate the x-axis, y-axis tilt, and de-space through three-axis motion. The fabricated focus mechanism demonstrated excellent servo performance by experimenting with PD servo control.

In the optical module for optical communications, the flip chip bonding is used fer the precise alignment of the optical fiber and optical device. In flip chip bonding, the optical device is aligned and welded while observing the alignment mark of substrate and chip by using flip chip bonder in order to bond the optical device at the exact position. In this research, optical passive alignment method of photodiode(PD) flip chip bonding is suggested for low cost optical subassembly. By using the visible He-Ne laser (633nm wavelength), photodiode is easily aligned with emitting spot on the optical fiber with the help of stereoscopic alignment system. We compensated wavelength dependent deviation about 4m to find out real alignment position of 1550nm input laser by ray tracing. The maximum optical coupling efficiency between the optical fiber and photodiode was about 23.3%.

For high resolution electro-optical payload, the alignment and assembly of the secondary mirror with respect to the primary mirror is the most important step of the whole camera assembly process. For the purpose of the secondary mirror alignment, Wave front sensor and Collimator would rather be useful than the interferometer because of its small size and easiness of handling. In this paper the brief alignment procedure and method of the secondary mirror of a high resolution electro-optical camera system was introduced.

Based on the optical design type, the large aperture payload has not only a different characteristic of design, assembly and alignment but also its own merits and demerits. The analysis of characteristic has been performed according to the optical design type and based on this result, our camera is 4 reflective mirror system based on the Korsch type. Each mirror assembly is to be verified in the mirror manufacturer and the Optical Module(OM) will be assembled, aligned and tested by KARI. The final performance of camera depends on the several factors, especially, the optical performance of its OM In parallel with the optical design the conceptual design of OM assembly and alignment has been performed. In this paper, the analysis of characteristic has been performed according to the optical design type and the conceptual design of OM assembly and alignment was described with regard to optical performance.

The Amon-Ra instrument is the main optical payload of the proposed EARTHSHINE satellite. It consists of a visible wavelength instrument and an IR energy channel instrument to measure a global Earth albedo. We report a new sensitivity technique for efficient alignment of the visible channel instrument. Whilst the sensitivity table method has been widely used in the alignment process, the straightforward application of the method tends to produce slow process convergence because of shop floor alignment practice uncertainties. We investigated the error sources commonly associated with alignment practices and used them when estimating the Zernike polynomial coefficients. Aided with single center field wavefront error (WFE) measurements and their corresponding Zernike polynomial coefficients, the method involves the construction and use of an experimental, instead of simulated, sensitivity table to be used for alignment state estimations. A trial alignment experiment for the Amon Ra optical system was performed and the results show that 71.28 nm in rms WFE was achieved only after two alignment iterations. This tends to demonstrate its superior performance to the conventional method.
