We propose the development and test result of new optical axis alignment system for the interchangeable F/8 secondary mirror of the BOAO 1.8m telescope system. Since the original system was not equipped with a suitable optical alignment facility, the whole alignment process was performed by hand. It was necessary at least three persons working more than 2 nights and the altitude of the telescope could not exceed 10 degrees, in such altitude the alignment quality was not so good by atmospheric effect. The new system adopts position readable motorized system and remote control operation by the computer installed in observation room, which reduces the number of workers to only one and eliminates the altitude restriction. The defocused CCD image pair obtained at higher altitude makes the aberration estimates more accurately and the number of required alignment loops is reduced from 10 to 4. The system has been installed on September 1, and performed alignment three times. The test results show that the system is stable and accurate, gives better optical performance of the telescope under F/8 focus. We hope to emphasize the fact that the new system will increase observation time of the telescope by about 20 nights per year assuming one alignment in every month.

Contrary to the academic interests of other existing studies elsewhere, this study deals with how the alignment algorithms such as sensitivity or Differential Wavefront Sampling (DWS) can be better used under effects from field, compensator positioning and environmental errors unavoidable from the shop-floor alignment work. First, the influences of aforementioned errors to the alignment state estimation was investigated with the algorithms. The environmental error was then found to be the dominant factor influencing the alignment state prediction accuracy. Having understood such relationship between the distorted system wavefront caused by the error sources and the alignment state prediction, we used it for simulated and experimental alignment runs for Infrared Optical System (IROS). The difference between trial alignment runs and experiment was quite close, independent of alignment methods; 6 nm rms for sensitivity method and 13 nm rms for DWS. This demonstrates the practical usefulness and importance of the prior error analysis using the alignment algorithms before the actual alignment runs begin. The error analysis methodology, its application to the actual alignment of IROS and their results are described together with their implications.

The significant I&T process gain represented by reduction in overall budget expenditure can be obtained from the use of efficient alignment technique for large space optical systems. Such process gain tends to increase rapidly with an increase in aperture and/or in number of optical elements within the system. However, in practice, the alignment of multiple optical components tends to be rather difficult task because of the multiple coupling effects among the elements within the target system. In order to understand and hence identify the complex interplay of the wavefront coupling effects from the alignment process, the original differential wavefront sampling(DWS) method was presented elsewhere in recent years. DWS uses partial differential of the wavefront of optical component and perturbation value of the optical component against a particular alignment factor. The straightforward application of DWS for an off-axis optical system revealed that it tends to give incorrect estimation of the given misalignment state. In this study, we added off-axis correction terms to the original DWS algorithm and investigated its alignment performance. The performance simulation result for a Korsch type space optical system shows that the modified DWS is capable of bringing the misaligned system into the target alignment tolerance only after 3 iterations. It also shows that this new improved algorithm can be used to estimate the source misalignment as well. We are planning to apply this method for the alignment of a 800mm Korsch type telescope in the near future. We discuss the computational technique, simulation results and implications in details.

By the need for high-speed data transmission in PCB, the studies on the optical PCB has been conducted with optical interconnection and its packaging technology. Particularly, the polymer-based optical interconnection has been extensively studied with the advantages such as cost-effective and ease of process. For high-efficiency and passive alignment, the studies were performed using the 45 degree mirrors, MT connector, and etc. In this work, integrated PLC device and fiber alignment array block was fabricated by using imprint technology to solve the alignment and array problem of optical device and the optical fiber. The fabricated integrated block for optical interconnection of PLC device has achieved higher precision of decreasing the dimensional error of the patterns by optimization of process and its insertion loss has an average value of 4.03dB, lower than criteria specified by international standard. In addition, a optical waveguide with built-in lens has been proposed for high-efficiency and passive alignment. By simulation, it was confirmed that the proposed structure has higher coupling efficiency than conventional no-lens structure and has the broad tolerance for the spatial offset of optical waveguide.

광통신용 광모듈에서 광소자와 광섬유 또는 도파로를 정밀하게 정렬 및 접합하기 위하여 플립칩본딩 방법 이 널리 이용되고 있다. 이때 광소자를 정확한 위치에 정렬시키기 위하여 기판과 광소자 양쪽에 정렬용 마크를 제작하고 플립칩본더 등을 사용하여 정렬마크를 관찰하며 광소자를 정렬 및 본딩하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 정렬마크의 제작비용을 줄이고 광섬유와 수광소자(PD 칩)의 수동정렬을 용이하게 하기 위하여 He-Ne 레이저(파장 633nm)인 가시광을 이용한 정렬 및 플립칩본딩 방법을 연구하였다. 광섬유에서 방출되는 레이저 광을 육안으로 관찰하면서 수광소자를 정렬하므로써 패키징에 소요되는 시간과 경비를 절감하고 광모듈의 저가격화를 실현 할 수 있는 새로운 방법이다. 광섬유에 가공되어 있는 V-노치를 경유하여 가시광이 광섬유에 대해 직각방향으로 방출되고 이것을 수광소자와 정렬하는 방법이다. 본 연구결과 광정렬을 위해 입사된 633 nm파장의 가시광 레이저와 통신용 레이저인 1550 nm 파장사이의 파장 차이에 의한 광경로 차이는 약 4m으로 무시가능하고 최대 광세기 지점에서 ${\pm}20\;{\mu}m$ 범위내에서는 광결합효율 변화는 약 2%이었으며 최대 광결합효율은 약 23.3%이었다.

Window 밀폐형 광 커넥터의 정렬오차로 인해 발생하는 광 손실을 감소시키기 위해 정렬용 기구물의 허용 공차에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 광섬유 간 결합을 위해 사용되는 광 커넥터는 광신호 전달 및 광통신 시스템의 전달 거리 증가를 위해 높은 광효율을 유지 및 향상시키는 것이 중요하다. Window 밀폐형 광 커넥터의 경우 정렬용 기구물을 통해 광학계를 정렬하며, 이때 두 커넥터를 결속한 채 사용하기 때문에 구성요소가 고정되어 추가적인 정렬이 불가능하다. 광 커넥터의 광학계 정렬을 위해 사용되는 하우징 시스템 및 정렬 핀이 가지는 정렬오차는 광 손실을 발생시켜 광통신 시스템의 심각한 문제를 야기한다. 따라서 해당 광 커넥터의 정렬용 기구물 제작 시 요구되는 허용 공차에 대한 연구를 위해 광 커넥터의 광학 부품인 볼렌즈와 window의 공차 분석을 진행하였다. 또한, single-mode와 multi-mode 광 커넥터 광학계를 각각 구현하여 광 효율 시뮬레이션을 진행하고, 그 결과를 기반으로 정렬용 기구물에 대한 허용 공차 값을 도출하였다.

Recent flat-panel displays have become increasingly complicated to facilitate multiple display functions. In particular, the form of multilayered architectures for next-generation displays makes precise three-dimensional alignment of multiple panels a challenge. In this paper, a diffractive optical alignment marker is proposed to address the problem of three-dimensional alignment of distant dual panels beyond the depth-of-focus of a vision camera. The diffractive marker is effective to analyze the positional correlation of distant dual panels. The possibility of diffractive alignment in multilayer display fabrication is testified with numerical simulation and a proof-of-concept experiment.
