Heliostat field in a tower type solar thermal power plant is the sun tracking mirror system which affects the overall efficiency of solar thermal power plant most significantly while consumes a large amount of energy to operate it. Thus optimal operation of it is very crucial for maximizing the energy collection and, at the same time, for minimizing the operating cost. Heliostat field operational algorithm is the logics to control the heliostat field efficiently so as to optimize the heliostat field optical efficiency and to protect the system from damage as well as to reduce the energy consumption required to operate the field. This work presents the heliostat field operational algorithm developed for the heliostat field of 200kW solar thermal power plant built in Daegu, Korea. We first review the structure of heliostat field control system proposed in the previous work to provide the conceptual framework of how the algorithm developed in this work could be implemented. Then the methodologies to operate the heliostat field properly and efficiently, by defining and explaining the various operation modes, are discussed. A simulation, showing the heat flux distribution collected by the heliostat field at the receiver, is used to show the usefulness of proposed heliostat field operational algorithm.

압전소자에 전압을 가했을 때 길이가 늘어나며 휘어지는 것을 측정하고 보정하는 방법을 제시한다. 압전소자에 부착된 거울에서 반사되는 레이저빔의 각도 변화를 $0.36\mu$rad의 불확도로 측정하여 압전소자가 휘는 각도와 방향을 알수 있는 장치를 구성하였다. 압전소자의 전극을 세부분을 분할하고 축전기를 직렬 연결하여 하나의 전원으로도 각 전극에 인가되는 전압을 달리 조절할 수 있었다. 압전소자가 휘어지는 크기와 방향에 따라 각 전극에 연결되는 축전기의 용량을 달리함으로써 보정 전에 비해 휨을 6.3%로 줄일수 있었다. 휨이 보정된 압전소를 광자감쇠공동의 길이 변조에 이용하였을 때 압전소자가 휘기 때문에 야기되었던 감쇠시간 요동이 효과적으로 제거되는 것을 확인하였다.

빛의 양자역학적 성질인 얽힘(entanglement)을 이용한 양자 고스트 이미징(quantum ghost imaging)은 고전적인 동시계수 측정(classical coincidence measurement)에 의해서도 정성적으로 재현됨이 알려져 있다[1,2]. 본 실험에서는 진행방향에서 고전적인 상관관계를 가지는 빛을 이용하여 고전 동시계수 이미징(classical coincidence imaging) 실험을 수행하여 양자역학적 얽힘 상태에서 볼 수 있는 현상들을 관측하고 고스트 이미지가 나오는 원리를 분석하였다. 고전적인 상관관계를 가지는 광원은 아르곤이온 레이저에서 나오는 빛의 경로를 스피커에 부착되어 회전하는 거울에 반사시켜 진행방향에 대해 상관관계를 가지도록 만들어 사용하였다.

상용 반도체 레이저 다이오드에 Littman형 외부공진기를 결합하여 파장기변 레이저 다이오드 시스템을 제작하였다. 0차 출력광은 단일종모드로 동작하여 CFP의 분해능인 9MHz이내의 선폭을 예상할 수 있었으며 다이오드 구동전류 140mA 및 동작온도 $25^{\circ}C$의 조건하에서 거울을 수동나사로 회전시키는 성긴 튜닝(coarse tuning)시 3.475nm 의 파장가변 범위를 보였으며 PZT(piezoelectric transducer)에 200Hz의 톱니파 전압을 인가해서 거울을 회전시키는 미세튜닝(fine tuning)시 0.042nm의 범위내에서 연속적인 파장가변이 가능하였다.

We demonstrate continuous-wave operation of an all-fiber thulium-holmium codoped laser operating at a wavelength of 1706.3 nm. To realize laser operation in the short-wavelength region of the emission-band edge of thulium in silica fiber, we employ fiber Bragg gratings having resonant reflection at a wavelength around 1700 nm as a wavelength-selective mirror in an all-fiber cavity scheme. We first examine the performance of the laser by adjusting the central wavelength of the in-band pump source. Although a pump source possessing a longer wavelength is observed to provide reduced laser threshold power and increased slope efficiency, because of the characteristics of spectral response in the gain fiber, we find that the optimal pump wavelength is 1565 nm to obtain maximum laser output power for a given system. We further explore the properties of the laser by varying the fiber gain length from 1 m to 1.4 m, for the purpose of power scaling. It is revealed that the laser shows optimal performance in terms of output power and slope efficiency at a gain length of 1.3 m, where we obtain a maximum output power of 249 mW for an applied pump power of 2.1 W. A maximum slope efficiency is also estimated to be 23% under these conditions.

This paper presents a real-time correction method of the movemont errors of a translatory precision machine axis. This method is a null-balances technique in which two plane mirrors are used to generate an interferometric fringe pattern utilizing the optical principles of TwymanGreen interferometry. One mirror is fixed on a reference frame, while the other is placed on the machine axis being supported by three piezoelectric actuators. From the fringe pattern, one translatory and two rotational error components of the machine axis are simultaneously detected by using CCD camera vision and image processing techniques. These errors are then independently suppressed by activating the peizoelectric actuators by real-time feedback control while the machine axis is moving. Experimental results demonstrate that a machine axis can be controlled with movement errors less than 10 nm in vertical straightness, 0.1 arcsec in pitch, and 0.06 arcsec in roll for 50mm travel by adopting the real-time correction method.

The world's first geostationary ocean color imager (GOCI) is a three-mirror anastigmat optical system 140 mm in diameter. Designed for 500 m ground sampling distance, this paper deals with on-orbit modulation transfer function (MTF)measurement and analysis for GOCI. First, the knife-edge and point source methods were applied to the 8th band (865 nm) image measured April 5th, 2011. The target details used are the coastlines of the Korean peninsula and of Japan, and an island 400 meters in diameter. The resulting MTFs are 0.35 and 0.34 for the Korean East Coastline and Japanese West Coastline edge targets, respectively, and 0.38 for the island target. The daily and seasonal MTF variations at the Nyquist frequency were also checked, and the result is $0.32{\pm}0.04$ on average. From these results, we confirm that the GOCI on-orbit MTF performance satisfies the design requirements of 0.32 for 865 nm wavelength.

An off-axis telescope has several advantages in optical performance comparing with a conventional on-axis telescope. However, in general, an off-axis telescope has a narrow field of view due to the linear astigmatism caused by the asymmetric structure. It was shown in the previous work that the linear astigmatism can be eliminated by properly configuring parameters in a confocal off-axis reflector system. Furthermore, the third order aberrations of a confocal off-axis telescope can be minimized by optimizing the shape of the mirrors. Despite many advantages, the confocal off-axis telescopes have been evaded because of difficulties of off-axis mirror fabrication, alignment process and unaccustomed off-axis baffle design. The baffle for the off-axis telescope should be designed considering that the effects of stray lights are different because of the asymmetry of off-axis system. In this poster, the design, manufacturing, and test for the baffle and housing of an off-axis telescope are presented.

We report the development of miniature fluorescence detection systems that employ miniature prism, mirrors and low coat CCD camera to detect the fluorescence emitted from 40 fluorescently-labeled protein patterns without scanner. This kind of miniature fluorescence detection system can be used in point of care. We introduce two systems, one uses prism+mirror block and the other uses prism and two mirrors. A large NA microscope eyepiece and low cost CCD camera are used. We fabricated protein chip containing multi-pattern BSA labeled with Cy5, using MEMS technology and modified the surface chemically to clean and to immobilize proteins. The measurements show that the combination of prism and mirrors can homogenize elliptical excitation light over the sample with higher optical efficiency, and increase the separation between excitation and fluorescence light at the CCD to give higher signal intensity and higher signal to noise ratio. The measurements also show that protein concentrations ranging from 10 ng/ml to 1000 ng/ml can be assayed with very small error. We believe that the proposed fluorescence detection system can be refined to build a commercially valuable hand-held or miniature detection device.
