Monte Carlo simulations were performed for a three-dimensional tissue model with and without an embedded large vessel, to understand how varying vessel geometry affects surface light distribution. Vessel radius was varied from 1 to 5 mm, and vessel depth from 2 to 10 mm. A larger difference in surface fluence rate was observed when the vessel's radius increased. For vessel depth, the largest difference was seen at a depth of approximately 4 mm, corresponding to human wrist region. When the vessel was placed at depths greater than 8 mm, very little difference was observed. We also tested the feasibility of using two source-detector pairs, comprising two detectors distinctly spaced from a common source, to noninvasively measure blood-scattering changes in a large vessel. High sensitivity to blood-scattering changes was achieved by placing the near detector closer to the source and moving the far detector away from the source. However, at longer distances, increasing noise levels limited the sensitivity of the two-detector approach. Our results indicate that the approach using two source-detector pairs may have potential for quantitative measurement of scattering changes in the blood while targeting large vessels near the human wrist region.

광학설계 과정의 첫 단계에서 근축 광선이 만족하는 Gauss 방정식에 대한 해를 구할 수 있는 재귀적 수치 계산법을 도출하였다. 설계 사양으로 렌즈 모듈의 굴절력, 렌즈 제1 주요면으로의 입사각과 제2 주요면으로부터의 출사각이 주어지면 렌즈의 주요면 사이의 거리를 선택한 후, 재귀적 수치 계산법을 적용하여 렌즈의 두께, 렌즈 앞면의 곡률 반경과 뒷면의 곡률 반경을 구할 수 있다. 즉, 설계 사양을 만족하는 두께가 다른 여러 등가렌즈를 얻을 수 있다. 모듈이 2개 이상의 렌즈로 구성되는 경우에도 렌즈의 개수를 하나씩 증가하면서 렌즈의 주요면 사이의 거리를 설계 사양에 맞추어 선택한 후 각 렌즈의 두께와 곡률 반경을 결정할 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 광학계의 굴절률, 중심두께 및 곡률반경에 대한 설계변수가 온도변화에 따라 1차 특성 및 결상성능에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 분석하고, 이로부터 온도보정 설계를 실시하였다. 광학설계 변수들을 각각의 사용온도에 해당되는 값으로 변경한 후, 기존의 coupling 및 ruler 설계 개념을 폰 카메라용 렌즈설계에 적용하여 온도보정을 고려한 설계방법을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 온도보정 설계개념을 4매 구성의 1/3.2" 5M 렌즈계에 최초로 적용하여 최적 설계한 결과, 폰 카메라용 렌즈에 대한 일반사양을 만족시키는 동시에 사용온도 $-10^{\circ}C{\sim}+60^{\circ}C$에서의 후초점거리 변화량에 대한 요구사양(${\Delta}BFL{\leq}10{\mu}m$)도 만족시켰다. 또한 최적 설계된 렌즈계의 전장(TTL)은 5.5 mm로 매우 컴팩트한 구성이다. 따라서 본 연구의 결과는 휴대폰 카메라 및 감시 카메라용 광학계 개발에 활용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

본논문에서는 구면수차가 포함된 광학 디스크 시스템에 환형 위상변조 apodizer를 적용하여 bump 형태에 따른 재생신호를 스칼라 회절 이론을 이용하여 조사하였다. 이때 구면수차의 영향을 최소로 하는 최적변수를 결정하기 위해 동(pupil)의 반경 r에 대한 파면수차량에 절대값을 취해서 얻는 최대치와 임의의 값의 비로 W$_{R}$을 정의하였으며 원추형과 준원추형 그리고 원추형 bump로 다양한 형태의 bump를 고려하였다. 환형 위상변조 apodizer는 bump 반경과 형태의 변화에 따른 재생신호가 균일한 진폭과 유사한 경향을 나타냈으며 항상높은 최대재생신호를 가졌다. 구면수차의 증가에 따른 최대재생신호의 변화는 아주 작았으며 실제 광학 디시크 시스템에 사용 가능한 0.6 이상의 재생신호를 갖는 신호 bump 반경의 변화가 거의 없었다. 특히 $W_R$ 이 0.4와 0.6인 경우에는 구면수차에 대한 보정효과가 가장 큼을 알 수 있었다.

There is an immense need to obtain nanometric surface finish on optical glass owing to the advantage of improved performance of the components. But owing to brittleness and hardness, optical glass is one of the materials that is difficult to ultra-precision turning. According to the hypothesis of ductile mode machining, regardless of their hardness and brittleness, will undergo a transition from brittle to ductile machining region below a critical undeformed chip thickness. Below this threshold, it is suggested that the energy required for plastic formation. Thus, plastic deformation is the predominant mechanism of material removal in machining these materials in this mode. An experimental study is conducted diamond cutting for machining BK7 glass. The investigation presents the feasibility of achieving nanometric surface and the understanding the mechanism of cutting glass, proving the cutting edge radius effect.

Machining technique for optical crystals with single point diamond turning tool is reported in this paper. The main factors influencing the machined surface quality are studied and regularities of machining process are drawn. Optical crystals have been known to more and more important applications in the field of modern optics. Ge is more brittle material of poor machinability. The traditional machining method is polishing which has many shortcomings such as low production efficiency, poor ability to be automatically controlled and edge effect of the workpiece. The purpose of our research is to find the optimum machining conditions for ductile cutting of Ge and apply the SPDTM technique to the manufacturing of ultra precision optical components of Ge. As a result, the surface roughness is the best when cutting speed is 180m/min, feed rate is 2mm/min, depth of cut is $0.5{\mu}m$ and nose radius of tool is 0.8mm.

Intensity interferometry, based on the Hanbury Brown--Twiss effect, is a simple and inexpensive method for optical interferometry at microarcsecond angular resolutions. Motivated by recent technical developments, we argue that the sensitivity of large modern intensity interferometers can be improved by factors up to approximately 25,000, corresponding to 11 photometric magnitudes, compared to the pioneering Narrabri Stellar Interferometer of the 1970s when resolving. Our approach, based on spectrally resolved light, permits the construction of large optical interferometers at the cost of (very) long-baseline radio interferometers. Realistic intensity interferometers are able to spatially resolve main-sequence O-type stars in the Magellanic Clouds. Multi-channel intensity interferometers can address a wide variety of science cases: (i) linear radii, effective temperatures, and luminosities of stars; (ii) mass-radius relationships of compact stellar remnants; (iii) stellar rotation; (iv) stellar convection and the interaction of stellar photospheres and magnetic fields; (v) the structure and evolution of multiple stars; (vi) direct measurements of interstellar distances; (vii) the physics of gas accretion onto supermassive black holes; and (viii) calibration of amplitude interferometers by providing a sample of calibrator stars.

It is reported that the spectral loss of photonic crystal fiber (PCF) having a large hole-to-hole distance (~ 10 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) is sensitive to micro- and macrobending when compared with the conventional single-mode fiber. In this paper, we will present the measurement result of the macro- and microbending characteristics of fabricated PCF with large hole-to-hole distance (> 10 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) . For the macrobending experiment, the fiber was simply wound around a circular structure with variable diameter that could be reduced to a few centimeters. For the microbending case, regularly spaced silica rods were attached on a slide glass and pressed against the fiber by loading a stack of metal plates of known weight on the glass. The transmission loss spectrum shows a rather flat response to the to microbending, and this makes the PCF a good candidate for a wideband variable optical attenuator.

NBUR(Negative Branch Unstable Ring) 공진기를 갖는 Nd:YAG 레이저의 원고리형 출력광속을 이용하여 무회절 광속을 발진시켰다. Scraper 출력경을 통하여 나오는 원고리형 광속은 평면화된 위상파면을 갖고 있을 뿐 아니라 균일한 공간적 세기 분포를 가지므로 무회절 광속을 발진시키는데 직접 사용할 수 있으며 높은 출력세기 밀도를 갖게 할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 구성된 NBUR 레이저의 출력광속의 단면은 내경 2.5 mm 외경 5 mm인 크기를 가졌다. 5 m 초점거리를 갖는 Fourier 변환 렌즈를 레이저 출력경으로부터 초점거리만큼 떨어진 지점에 설치하여 원고리형 출력광속의 먼거리 형태를 관측하였으며, 렌즈를 통하여 13 m 이상의 위치에서도 광속의 퍼짐이 없음을 확인하였다.

We have estimated a metallicity map of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) using the Magellanic Cloud Photometric Survey (MCPS) and Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE III) photometric data. This is a first of its kind, high-spatial resolution map of metallicity up to a radius of $4^{\circ}-5^{\circ}$, derived using large area photometric data and calibrated using spectroscopic data of Red Giant Branch (RGB) stars. The RGB is identified in the V, (V - I) colour- magnitude diagrams of small subregions of varying sizes in both data sets. The slope of the RGB is used as an indicator of the mean metallicity of a subregion, and it is calibrated to metallicity using spectroscopic data for field and cluster red giants in selected subregions. The mean metallicity of the LMC is found to be [Fe/H] = -0.37 dex (${\sigma}[Fe/H]=0.12$) from MCPS data, and [Fe/H] = -0.39 dex (${\sigma}[Fe/H]=0.10$) from OGLE III data. The bar is found to have an uniform and higher metallicity compared to the disk, and is indicative of an active bar in the past. Both the data sets suggest a shallow radial metallicity gradient up to a radius of 4 kpc ($-0.049{\pm}0.002$ dex kpc-1 to $-0.066{\pm}0.006$ dex kpc-1). This metallicity gradient of the LMC disk, though shallow, resembles the gradient seen in spiral galaxies, and similar to that found in our Galaxy.
