We have demonstrated the selection and the amplification of the components of an optical frequency comb using femto-second laser injection-locking technique. We used a mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser as a master laser and a single-mode diode laser as a slave laser. After passing through the interference filter with the center wavelength 794.7 nm and the transmittance bandwidth 1.5 nm, the optical frequency comb by mode-locked femto-second laser was injected into the slave laser. The injection-locked slave laser had $3{\sim}4$ multi-mode with the mode spacing 100.5 MHz, whichcorrespond to the repetition rate of a mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser. The power of the modes selected by femto-second laser injection-locking technique was amplified to several thousands times

An electronic paper display was fabricated by injecting electronic ink, including white and black particles coated by positive and negative charge control agents (CCA), respectively, into closed cells surrounded by micro-barriers. These two types of charged, colored particles are easily damaged or their charging value can be changed by the injection process; therefore, the electrical and optical properties of the image panel fabricated by the injection method were estimated in this study. The active particle-loading method, proposed as a new electronic ink injection process, was applied, and the electro-optical properties of the resulting three-electrode-type e-paper image panel were analyzed. The reflection rate of the white image-panel fabricated with our new injection method was 24.7%, while that of the same panel fabricated with a previously reported injection method was 19.8%. In addition, the response time was improved by about five times compared to those reported in other publications.

A modern optical fiber manufacturing process requires the sufficient cooling of glass fibers freshly drawn from the heated and softened silica preform in the furnace, since the inadequately cooled glass fibers are known to cause improper polymer resin coating on the fiber surface and to adversely affect the product quality of optical fibers. In order to greatly enhance the fiber cooling effectiveness at increasingly high fiber drawing speed, it is necessary to use a dedicated glass fiber cooling unit with helium gas injection between glass fiber drawing and coating processes. The present numerical study features a series of three-dimensional flow and heat transfer computations on the cooling gas and the fast moving glass fiber to analyze the cooling performance of glass fiber cooling unit, in which the helium is supplied through the discretely located rectangular injection holes. The air entrainment into the cooling unit at the fiber inlet is also included in the computational model and it is found to be critical in determining the helium purity in the cooling gas and the cooling effectiveness on glass fiber. The effects of fiber drawing speed and helium injection rate on the helium purity decrease by air entrainment and the glass fiber cooling are also investigated and discussed.

In a modern high speed drawing process of optical fibers, it is necessary to use helium as a cooling gas in a glass fiber cooling unit in order to sufficiently cool down the fast moving glass fiber freshly drawn from the heated silica preform in the furnace. Since the air is entrained unavoidably when the glass fiber passes through the cooling unit, the helium is needed to be injected constantly into the cooling unit. The present numerical study investigates and analyzes the air entrainment using an axisymmetric geometry of glass fiber cooling unit. The effects of helium injection rate and direction on the air entrainment rate are discussed in terms of helium purity of cooling gas inside the cooling unit. For a given rate of helium injection, it is found that there exists a certain drawing speed that results in sudden increase in the air entrainment rate, which leads to the decreasing helium purity and therefore the cooling performance of the glass fiber cooling unit. Also, the helium injection in aiding direction is found to be more advantageous than the injection in opposing direction.

A Study of birefringence in an aspheric lens of injection molding became more important to improve its optical properties. In the present study, the experimental study was carried out to investigate the relationship between birefringence and injection molded conditions. The processing factors are conditions include packing pressure, packing time, injection speed, melt temperature of optical resin and wall temperature. Birefringence was observed figures by using a polarizer in light. This experiments were carried out using the simulation software and injection molding machine.

The present work covers three-dimensional flow simulation and deformation analysis of injection molded plastic lenses using solid elements. A numerical scheme to evaluate part deformation has been proposed from the results of injection molding analysis. Proposed scheme has been applied to the injection molding processes of optical plastic lenses: a spherical lens and an aspheric lens for a photo pick-up device. Through the simulation processes. residual stress is estimated and the final deformed patters are obtained for both products. The reliability of the proposed approach has also been verified in comparison with the results of real experiments.

We investigate effects of the injected ASE (Amplified spontaneous emission) bandwidth on the performance of the wavelength-locked Fabry-Perot laser diodes (F-P LDs) under constant injection power density and constant injection power. For the constant injection power density, we can determine the minimum injection bandwidth by the required intensity noise or the bit-error rate (BER) performance. On the other hand, there exists the optimal ASE bandwidth for the constant injection power to minimize the intensity noise.

Rapidly developing IT technologies in recent years have raised the demands for high-precision optical lenses used for sensors, digital cameras, cell phones and optical storage media. Many techniques are required to manufacturing high-precision optical lenses, including multi-beam sensing lenses investigated in the current study. In the case of injection molding for thick lenses, a shrinkage phenomenon often occurs during the process. This shrinkage is known to be the main reason for the lower optical quality of the lenses. In the present work, a CAE analysis was conducted simultaneously with experiments to understand and minimize this phenomenon. In particular, the sectional area of a gate was varied in order to understand the effects of packing and cooling processes on the final shrinkage pattern. As a result of this study, it was demonstrated that a dramatic reduction of the shrinkage could be obtained by increasing the width of the gate.
