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.

Optical filters in WDM are passive communication components used in case of transmitting and reflecting lights with specific wavelengths. In this paper, a novel mechanism for the automatic and optical alignment has been presented. It includes minimum axes not to be coupled each other. The automatic spectrum inspection system has been developed to improve the alignment time of reference optical ray, spectrum inspection time and inspection quality, simultaneously. It has been confirmed that the proposed spectrum inspection system is faster, more precise and more reliable than those based on the conventional handwork.

The sensitivity analysis of a middle wave infrared optical system with 20: 1 zoom ratio is performed to analyze manufacturing and alignment tolerances, and to establish the alignment logic and the focus control strategy. The characteristics of the sensitivities of Zernike coefficients are investigated to all mechanical displacements and several zoom positions using Code-V Macro. From this result, the tolerances of manufacturing and alignment of the optical system are derived and the effective alignment logic is established. Futhermore, an effective focus control strategy is established to make the system simple and compact.

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.

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.

We studied the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) alignment capability with a new alignment method utilizing an inkjet printed polyimide (PI) layer. A good, uniform LC alignment was achieved by the good PI printing using a new alignment method. The pretilt angle generated on the printed PI layer using the alignment method was almost the same as that on printed PI layer using rubbing alignment method. In addition, the good electro-optical performances of the new aligned twisted nematic (TN) cell with printed PI surface was obtained

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.

In this study, an optical PCB was proposed which can overcome the limitations of the conventional PCB, and a new structure with pluggable lens was considered for a high-efficient passive alignment. The structure was a lens-added optical waveguide for the improvement of misalignment between the lens and the waveguide in the alignment. Also, as it had a barrier-type structure to prevent the surface damage of the lens by desorption, the high-efficient passive alignment can be realized. The structure was designed by optimizing the simulation and the fabrication process of the pluggable lens structure was conducted using the repetitive photolithography and the thermal reflow. The optical waveguide with the lens-integrated pluggable interconnection was fabricated by the imprint process using the polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) replica mold. Therefore, we confirmed the possibility of pluggable lens-added optical waveguide structure fabrication for high-efficient passive alignment.

A silicon lens and an insulator of pyrex, components of a micro-electron column, should be assembled by aligning and stacking simultaneously. An optical alignment of a diffraction beam and a laser welding were employed for the assembly of a source lens and an Einzel lens with precision within $\pm$4% for the maximum aperture size. The experimental condition for optical alignment and laser welding are explained. Anodic bonding was used to assist in stacking lenses. A micro-electron column of smaller apertures assembled with precise alignment and fabrication was tested with a current image of a Cu grid of 9$\mu$m in linewidth, and showed a higher resolution in acceleration mode.
