The film thickness and shape of elastohydrodynamic lubrication is measured by optical interferometer, which is the most precise method for EHL film measurement. However the interpretation of the image pattern from optical viscometer is not easy for two-dimensional shape. A newly developed method of image processing makes it possible to evaluate the film thickness and shape in every point of contact region with two dimensional aspects. In this study, we captured film shape of EHL film from the monochromatic incident light with the Image processing method, which uses phase shift method, and obtained the image analysis method for gray level image in order to qualitatively evaluate film shapes.

We have developed a miniature fisheye lens with $190^{\circ}$ field of view operating simultaneously in the visible and the near infrared wavelengths. The modulation transfer function characteristic for the visible wavelength is sufficient for a mega-pixel-grade image sensor. The lens also has a fair resolution in the infrared wavelength region. The calibrated $f-{\theta}$ distortion is less than 5%, and the relative illumination is over 90%. In consequence, a sharp wide-angle image can be obtained which is uniform in brightness over the entire range of field angles. The real image heights for the visible and the near infrared wavelengths have been fitted to polynomial functions of incidence angle with sub-pixel accuracies. Combined with the near equidistance projection scheme of the lens, this lens can be advantageously employed in various image-processing applications requiring a wide-angle lens.

Position-determining capacity is a very important condition in equipments for manufacturing semi-conductor or various instruments to measure physical displacement quantities of a moving object in submicron such as a distance of movement, direction, etc. and the accuracy of total system is influenced by detecting accuracy of these equipments. Therefore in this paper we have optically made up laser linear encoder based on optical diffraction principle to measure these displacement quantities and have processed optical signal using hardware-setup. In consequence we had acquired displacement for movement of scale using a diffraction grating by the accuracy of 0.5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and had digitalized moving quantities of scale.

From the values of intensity in fringes, the qualitative feature of film thickness in the contact area are obtained by using Zernike polynomial

The Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (SOA)-based Mach-Zehnder interferometer is a major contributor in all-optical digital processing and optical computation. Optical tree architecture provides one of the new, alternative schemes for integrated all-optical arithmetic and logical operations. In this paper, we propose an all-optical 3-bit integrated parity generator and checker using SOA-MZI-based optical tree architecture. The proposed scheme, able to process input signals at a desired operating wavelength, has been characterized using RZ-modulated signals at 10 Gbps. The maximum extinction ratios achieved at the output of the parity generator and checker are 10 dB and 8 dB respectively.

We focused on improving of the optical efficiency in the direct BLU. We could achieve the optical efficiency by reducing the thickness of BLU and processing the prism shapes on a reflection sheet. And we were able to reduce the Lamps.

Optical visual cryptography was proposed by conjunction of the optical theory with the cryptography. However, it had some difficulties. The problems occurred in the process of transferring data processing system from visual to optics. Therefore, it is appropriate to approach these problems in terms of optics. The results show that the optical visual cryptography system has both the effectiveness and reliability as well as real-time implementation property.

Estimation and collection of the suitable recording materials are important for the fabrication of the holographic optical elements. In this study, silver halide emulsion, photoresist and dichromated gelatin are selected as a recording materials to investigate the properties and processing methods. Some parameters which affect the diffraction efficiencies of the holographic optical elements (HOE) are presented. As an example of the HOE, the results of design and the fabrication method of the off axis 12P hologram lens are also presented.
