This paper presents a design method for improving the low relative illumination and large distortion due to widening the field of a system. A tele-centric optical system in image space was suggested to increase the relative illumination. Through the analyses of the third-order aberrations affected by introducing aspherical surfaces, we have proposed a method to determine analytically what surface should be aspheric to correct each aberration effectively. By utilizing this method to design a wide field lens, a tele-centric wide field lens with f-number of F/2.0 was obtained. Even though the field angle is 120 degrees, it has a very low distortion less than -2% and high relative illumination more than 73.7%. In conclusion, this analytic method for selecting aspherical surfaces is expected to serve as a useful way to find design solutions.

MESSIER is a science satellite project to observe the Low Surface Brightness (LSB) sky at UV and optical wavelengths. The wide-field, optical system of MESSIER is optimized minimizing optical aberrations through the use of a Linear Astigmatism Free - Three Mirror System (LAF-TMS) combined with freeform mirrors. One of the key factors in observations of the LSB is the shape and spatial variability of the Point Spread Function (PSF) produced by scatterings and diffraction effects within the optical system and beyond (baffle). To assess the various factors affecting the PSF in this design, we use PhoSim, the Photon simulator, which is a fast photon Monte Carlo code designed to include all these effects, and also atmospheric effects (for ground-based telescopes) and phenomena occurring inside of the sensor. PhoSim provides very realistic simulations results and is suitable for simulations of very weak signals. Before the application to the MESSIER optics system, PhoSim had not been validated for confocal off-axis reflective optics (LAF-TMS). As a verification study for the LAF-TMS design, we apply Phosim sequentially. First, we use a single parabolic mirror system and compare the PSF results of the central field with the results from Zemax, CODE V, and the theoretical Airy pattern. We then test a confocal off-axis Cassegrain system and check PhoSim through cross-validation with CODE V. At the same time, we describe the shapes of the freeform mirrors with XY and Zernike polynomials. Finally, we will analyze the LAF-TMS design for the MESSIER optical system.

전자 논리회로에서 이용되는 전자신호 암호화와 같은 방법으로, 반도체 광 증폭기 XOR논리 게이트를 이용한 전광 암호화 시스템을 제안하였다. 시스템의 변수를 최적화 하고 전체 디자인 과정을 빠르게 수행하기 위해 정상상태와(steady state) 과도상태에(dynamic) 대한 전산모사가 차례로 이루어졌다. 심각한 신호 왜곡이 없이 10 Gbps 속도에서 일반적인 반도체 광 증폭기의 연속적 연결을 통해 전광 신호에 대한 암호화와 해독이 수행될 수 있음을 전산모사와 실험에 의한 결과를 통해 보여주었다.

In this paper, the details and design process of an optical system for space target detection cameras are introduced. The whole system is divided into three structures. The first structure is a short-focus visible light system for rough detection in a large field of view. The field of view is 2°, the effective focal length is 1,125 mm, and the F-number is 3.83. The second structure is a telephoto visible light system for precise detection in a small field of view. The field of view is 1°, the effective focal length is 2,300 mm, and the F-number is 7.67. The third structure is an infrared light detection system. The field of view is 2°, the effective focal length is 390 mm, and the F-number is 1.3. The visible long-focus narrow field of view and visible short-focus wide field of view are switched through a turning mirror. Design results show that the modulation transfer functions of the three structures of the system are close to the diffraction limit. It can further be seen that the short-focus wide-field-of-view distortion is controlled within 0.1%, the long-focus narrow-field-of-view distortion within 0.5%, and the infrared subsystem distortion within 0.2%. The imaging effect is good and the purpose of the design is achieved.

본 논문에서는 적외선 광학장비의 가격 경쟁력을 확보하고자 상대적으로 저렴한 비용으로 제작이 가능한 PGM(Precision Glass Molding) 가공 렌즈로 구성된, 비냉각형 검출기용 적외선 광학계를 설계 및 제작하였다. PGM 가공이 가능하도록 광학계의 모든 렌즈에 칼코게나이드 유리(Chalcogenide Glass) 소재를 사용하였으며, 자체 비열화가 구현되도록 설계하였다. 또한 기존 가공법인 SPDT(Single Point Diamond Turning) 방법으로 제작된 렌즈로, 동일한 광학계를 구성하여 PGM 가공 렌즈의 성능 측정에 사용하였다. 제작된 두 광학계의 변조전달함수(MTF) 측정 결과와 실제 영상의 촬영 결과를 비교하여 분석한 결과, 가공 방법에 따른 렌즈의 성능 차이는 그리 크지 않음을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 향후 PGM 가공 렌즈의 사용이 증가하면, 적외선 광학장비의 가격 경쟁력이 향상될 것으로 기대된다.

This study examined a method for designing the optical cavity of a non-dispersive infrared gas detector. The infrared gas detector requires an optical cavity design to lengthen the ray path. However, the optical cavity with multiple reflecting surfaces has off-axis aberration due to the characteristics of the reflecting optical system. The rays were parallelized by using the off-axis parabolic mirror to easily increase the ray path and eliminate off-axis aberration so that the rays are admitted to the effective area of the infrared detector uniformly. A prototype of an infrared gas detector was produced with the designed optical cavity to confirm the performance.

We have designed a new TIR(Total Internal Reflection) structure for generating an LED lens which can produce a rectangular beam with small divergence angle in two perpendicular directions for an optical guidance system. The lens can control the divergence angle in the horizontal direction to be a small value of about $8^{\circ}$ with a $1mm{\times}1mm$ LED source, also in the vertical direction it can be about $7^{\circ}$, with optical collection efficiency higher than 0.83. After the lens is manufactured, the work demonstrates that the lens is suitable for an optical guidance system.

The modern trends of optical storage devices can be characterized by high density in information recording, and high bandwidth in data input/output processing rate. These make servo engineers to face with a new barrier on control system design in much more difficult way. The first step to attack this barrier will be through a systematic modeling for the dynamic characteristics of optical storage drive. in this paper, an analytical dynamic model for an optical storage drive based on FEM is drived, and compared with experimental results. Through this comparison, a practical dynamic model on the focusing and tracking motion of optical storage drive is proposed for the initiation of real control system design problem.

In this study, a novel parallel wavefront correction system architecture is proposed, and a model-based tabu search (MBTS) algorithm is introduced for this new system to compensate wavefront aberration caused by atmospheric turbulence in a free-space optical (FSO) communication system. The algorithm flowchart is presented, and a simple hypothetical design for the parallel correction system with multiple adaptive optical (AO) subsystems is given. The simulated performance of MBTS for an AO-FSO system is analyzed. The results indicate that the proposed algorithm offers better performance in wavefront aberration compensation, coupling efficiency, and convergence speed than a stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD) algorithm.
