Two-photon-polymerization additive-manufacturing systems feature high resolution and precision. However, there are few reports on specific methods and possible problems concerning the use of small lasers to independently build such platforms. In this paper, a femtosecond-laser two-photon-polymerization additive-manufacturing system containing an optical unit, control unit, monitoring unit, and testing unit is built using a miniature femtosecond laser, with a detailed building process and corresponding control software that is developed independently. This system has integrated functions of light-spot detection, interface searching, micro-/nanomanufacturing, and performance testing. In addition, possible problems in the processes of platform establishment, resin preparation, and actual polymerization for two-photon-polymerization additive manufacturing are explained specifically, and the causes of these problems analyzed. Moreover, the impacts of different power levels and scanning speeds on the degree of polymerization are compared, and the influence of the magnification of the object lens on the linewidth is analyzed in detail. A qualitative analysis model is established, and the concepts of the threshold broadening and focus narrowing effects are proposed, with their influences and cooperative relation discussed. Besides, a linear structure with micrometer accuracy is manufactured at the millimeter scale.

We developed a line standards measurement system using an optical microscope and measured two kinds of line standards. It consists of three main parts: an optical microscope module including a CCD camera, a stage system with a linear encoder, and a measurement program for a microscopic image processing. The magnification of microscope part was calibrated using one-dimensional gratings and the angular motion of stage was measured to estimate the Abbe error. The threshold level in line width measurement was determined by comparing with certified values of a line width reference specimen, and its validity was proved through the measurement of another line width specimen. The expanded uncertainty (k=2) was about 100 nm in the measurements of $1{\mu}m{\sim}10{\mu}m$ line width. In the comparison results of line spacing measurement, two kinds of values were coincide within the expanded uncertainty, which were obtained by the one-dimensional measuring machine in KRISS and the line standards measurement system. The expanded uncertainty (k=2) in the line spacing measurement was estimated as $\sqrt{(0.098{\mu}m)^2+(1.8{\times}10^{-4}{\times}L)^2}$. Therefore, it will be applied effectively to the calibration of line standards, such as line width and line spacing, with the expanded uncertainty of several hundreds nanometer.

중심거리측정법은 서로 붙어있는 두 입자 중심점간의 거리를 측정하여 입자의 지름을 구하는 방법이다. 표면장력에 의해 배열이 형성된 시편 입자들의 초점군을 투과식 광학현미경에 평행 레이저광을 입사시켜 얻어내고 CCD 카메라로 영상을 받아 전산 분석하였다. Global lab image라는 영상처리 프로그램으로 초점들의 중심점을 찾고 붙어있는 입자들의 중심점간 거리를 화소(CCD 카메라의 pixel)단위로 계산하였으며, 화소의 좌표는 레이저 간섭계로 변위를 읽는 이송대를 이용하여 교정하였다. 기존의 측정방법을 개선하여 빠른 시간에 간편하게 측정하면서도 표준입자의 배율고정에 충분한 불확도를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 실험에는 NIST 인증물질인 3$\mu\textrm{m}$와 10$\mu\textrm{m}$ 폴리스티렌구(NIST SRM 1962, 1960)를 측정하였으며, 1%이하의 불확도(신뢰도 99% 수준)로써 NIST 결과와비교하였다.

Concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) system consists of high-quality complex optical elements, mechanical devices, and electronics components and can have the advantages of high integration and high-efficiency energy sources. III-V compound semiconductor cells have proven performance based on high reliability in the aerospace field, but have characteristics that require absolute support of the balance of systems (BOS) such as solar position trackers, receivers with heat sinks, and housing instruments. To determine the optimum parameters of secondary optical elements (SOEs) design for CPV systems, we designed three types of CPV modules, classified as non-SOEs type, reflective mirror type, and CPC lens type. We measured the I-V and P-V characteristics of the prototype CPV modules with the angle of inclination varying from 0° to 12° and with a 500-magnification Fresnel lens. The experimental results assumed misalignment of the solar position tracker or module design of pinpoint accuracy. As a result, at the 0° tilt angle, the CPC lens produced lower power due to the quartz transmittance ratio compared to that by other SOEs. However, for tilt angles greater than 3°, the CPC lens type module achieved high efficiency and stability. This study is expected to help design high-performance CPV systems.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity of swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) for detecting sealant microleakage. Materials and Methods: A total of 31 extracted sound human molar, assigned as suitable for sealant application, were chosen and divided into two groups: (1) no microleakage group and (2) microleakage group by applying sealant using the different methods. All specimens were immersed in 1% methylene blue for 24 h and sectioned to confirm the absence or presence of sealant microleakage as a gold standard method. Subsequently, all the sectioned specimens were digitally photographed using a microscope with a magnification of ${\times}50$. Presence of microleakage was evaluated on a 2-point rating scale. The association of histological method with conventional methods (visual and tactile assessment) and SS-OCT was assessed using a chi-squared test. The intra- and inter-examiner reliability was calculated using Cohen's Kappa. Results: The SS-OCT showed a sensitivity of 0.73 and a specificity of 1.00, while visual and tactile assessment showed a sensitivity of 0.67 and a specificity of 0.86. The inter-examiner reliability of SS-OCT was 0.79, whereas that of the visual and tactile assessment was 0.53. Conclusions: SS-OCT can be used to non-invasively detect sealant microleakage and to monitor pit and fissure sealant in the clinics.

The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of mixed fuel composition and mass fraction on spray inner structure in evaporating transient spray under the variant ambient conditions. Spray structure and spatial distribution of liquid phase concentration were investigated using a thin laser sheet illumination technique on the three component mixed fuels. A pulsed Nd:YAG laser was used as a light source. The experiments were conducted in a constant volume vessel with optical access. Fuel was injected into the vessel with electronically controlled common rail injector. Used fuel contains i-octane($C_8H_{18}$), n-dodecane($C_{12}H_{26}$) and n-hexadecane($C_{16}H_{34}$) that were selected as low-, middle- and high-boiling point fuel, respectively. Experimental conditions are 42 MPa, 72 MPa and 112 MPa in injection pressure, $5\;kg/m^3$, $15kg/m^3$ and $30kg/m^3$ in ambient gas density, 300 K, 500 K, 600 K and 700 K in ambient gas temperature, 300 K and 368 K in fuel temperature and different fuel mass fraction. Experimental results indicated that the multi-component fuels made two phase region mixed vapor and liquid so that it would are helpful to improve combustion, for the fuels of high boiling point component could accelerate evaporation very much according as low boiling point fuel was added to high boiling point fuel.

본 연구에서는 디스플레이 기판의 결함 검출을 위해 푸리에 광학을 이용하는 방법에 대하여 제안하였다. 제안하는 방법은 고배율의 광학계를 사용하지 않기 때문에 비용적 부담이 적은 결함 검출 시스템을 구현하는데 사용될 수 있다. 그리고, 제안하는 방법은 고배율 광학계의 짧은 피사계 심도에 기인하는 기판과 카메라 간의 거리 변화에 대한 엄격한 허용오차를 피할 수 있다. 또한, 카메라와 기판의 가까운 거리로 생기는 접촉으로 인한 손상의 가능성을 피할 수 있다. 푸리에 변환의 특성에 의해 규칙적 패턴인 기판의 위치변화는 회절된 빛의 세기분포에는 영향을 미치지 않기 때문에 검출 알고리즘을 기존의 방식보다 더 간단하게 구현할 수 있다. 제안하는 결함 검출 방법을 전산모사와 함께 설명하고 액정디스플레이의 컬러필터 기판을 예로 실험을 통해 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 긴 작동거리(working distance, WD)를 가지는 근적외선 형광 이미징 시스템을 소개하고, gain, 노출시간, 작동거리, 확대배율 등 측정 변수에 의한 형광 영상의 차이에 대해 분석하였다. 노출시간이 길수록, 확대배율이 클수록 형광신호는 더욱 강해지고, gain이 클수록 형광신호도 강해지지만, 배경신호도 함께 증가하여 SBR은 나빠질 수 있다. 제안한 시스템은 레이저 조사 방식으로 인해 작동거리가 짧은 경우 레이저 조사 영역의 강도 분포가 균일하지 못해서 형광신호가 약해지며, 그에 따른 해결방안을 제안하였다.

반도체 와이어 본딩(wire-bonding) 조립공정에 사용되는 검사용 다중배치 현미경 광학계를 설계하였다. 2배와 6배에 공통으로 사용되는 대물부를 통과한 광선은 광분할 프리즘으로 둘로 나뉘고 각각의 결상부에 의하여 물체의 주변부는 2배, 물체의 중심부는 6배로 결상하게 한다. 이 때 리드프레임의 와이어 구조 때문에 $\pm$3 mm의 높이차가 있어서 대물부에서 물체까지의 거리가 서로 다르다. 이러한 단차에 ,의해 물체거리가 바뀌더라도 동일한 결상 배율로 선명하게 관찰하기 위해 결상부를 기계 보정식 줌 렌즈와 같이 비선형 궤적으로 이동시켜야 한다. 이 궤적을 구하기 위해 가우스 괄호를 사용해 비선형 연립방정식을 세우고 풀었다. 또한 각 렌즈 군의 굴절능과 군간 간격을 구하는 군별 기초 설계는 등가렌즈에 대한 3차 수차 이론을 사용하였으며, 최종적으로 최적화 기법을 통하여 이러한 현미경 광학계를 얻었다.
