Microlens array (MLA) films have been used as brightness-enhancement components in many illumination systems, such as a backlight, which should meet the industrial needs of low cost and high brightness performance. A hexagonally-arranged MLA (HA-MLA) was chosen due to its high filling factor, which was a prerequisite for achieving high brightness-enhancement capability. The moir$\acute{e}$ fringes produced in a film stack composed of two HA-MLA were investigated, under four different lens configurations, by optical simulation. It was found that randomizing the lens configuration, while keeping the filling factor high, was effective way to develop high-gain MLA films for backlight applications.

In this study, optical simulation was used to compare three optical structures that could be applied to the typical organic light-emitting diode to increase the outcoupling efficiency. These were spherical scattering particles (treated as Mie scatterers) embedded in the glass substrate, microlenses formed on the glass substrate, and a diffusing layer (DL) with a Gaussian scattering distribution function inserted between the indium tin oxide (ITO) and the glass substrate. It was found that the application of microlens array and that of scattering particles in the glass substrate exhibited similar enhancements in the outcoupling efficiency when the density and the refractive index of the scattering particles were optimized. The DL located at the interface between the glass and the ITO further enhanced the efficiency because it could further extract the trapped light in the waveguide mode. The appropriate combination of these three structures increased the outcoupling efficiency to about 42%, which is much greater than the typical values of 15-20% when there is no optical structure for light extraction.

In this report, we present newly improved optical design for the Amon-Ra energy channel and its optical performance. The design is optimized parametrically with emphasis on improved light concentration. And then its performances are computed, first, from a laboratory test simulation using laser method (wave optics approach) and, second, from an in-orbit radiative transfer simulation using IRT method with 3D Earth model (geometrical optics approach). Two simulation test results show clear evidence of energy concentration improvement.

Single-ring all-pass filters with various coupling ratios are designed, fabricated, and characterized to assess the validity of the split-step time-domain modeling approach, which is considered for direct simulation of time-domain characteristics, such as optical delay, of various ring resonator devices. When the coupling ratio of the single-ring all-pass filter is 0.4 and 0.8, the delay time is measured to be about 145 and 42 ps respectively, which is comparable to the time-domain modeling results of 151 and 47 ps respectively. The measurements for two- and three-ring all-pass filters are also found to agree quite well with the simulation results. With these results it is confirmed that the split-step time-domain model could be efficiently incorporated into an optical-communication simulation module for ring resonator delay components in an all-optical packet switching system.

본 논문에서는 광전송시스템에서 파장분할다중화 광소자로 사용되는 박막필터형 광소자의 특성 분석 및 평가를 위해 입력광원을 모델링 하였으며 광경로에 대해 광선추적법을 사용하여 전산모의 한 광특성을 실험과 비교, 분석하였다. 그 결과 입력광원에 대한 cell 방식의 모델링이 결합효율의 정확도 및 가우시안 강도분포에 접근성을 볼 때 마이크로 옵틱스형 광소자 분석함에 있어 적합함을 알 수 있다. 박막필터형 광소자에 대한 최적 전산모의 결과 광섬유와 GRIN 렌즈 사이 거리가 0.24mm이며 GRIN 렌즈와 박막필터 사이 거리가 0.25mm일 때 최대 결합효율은 -0.11 ㏈이었으며 동일한 조건에의 실험결과 -0.35 ㏈의 최대 결합효율을 얻었다. 이것은 단심 및 이심페룰, GRIN 렌즈 등과 같은 구성품의 불완전성과 박막필터에 의한 손실을 고려할 때, 전산모의 결과와 매우 일치하는 것으로서 본 연구에서 제안한 입력광원의 모델링을 적용한 전산모의가 박막필터형 광소자의 특성을 예측할 수 있음을 보였다.

In this paper, we investigated the optical coupling characteristics for $K^{+}$ ion-exchanged diffused channel waveguide by using coupled-mode equations. In this case, the optical-power-dividing was observed at the waveguide-type optical coupler with 3[$\mu\textrm{m}$] line-width and, 6[$\mu\textrm{m}$] separation between channel waveguides in which interaction lengths were 1 and 3[mm], respectively, On the basis of that we deformed simulation for $Ag^{+}$ ion-exchanged diffused channel waveguide. As a result of simulation, the optical-power-dividing was shown at the waveguide-type optical coupler wish 3[$\mu\textrm{m}$] line-width, 6[$\mu\textrm{m}$] separation between channel waveguides and 0.11[mm] interaction length.

Optical simulation of the rear and front panel geometries were needed to improve the luminance and efficiency in PDP cells. The 3-dimensional optical code can be used to analyze the variation of geometries and changing of optical properties. In order to improve the accuracy of simulated results, a new UV source, called a multi-cubes UV source, was designed. To design the source, at first UV distribution was calculated with the plasma fluid code and then the UV distribution was transformed to the multi-cube structures in the optical code. Compared to the results from existing UV source, called a planar UV source, could be improved the accuracy of visible light distribution. Simulated results were also compared to the visible distribution measured with the ICCD in a real PDP cell.

Segmented planar imaging detector for electro-optical reconnaissance (SPIDER) is an emerging technology for optical imaging. However, this novel detection approach is faced with degraded imaging quality. In this study, a 6 × 6 planar waveguide is used after each lenslet to expand the field of view. The imaging principles of field-plane waveguide structures are described in detail. The local multiple-sampling simulation mode is adopted to process the simulation of the improved imaging system. A novel image-reconstruction algorithm based on deep learning is proposed, which can effectively address the defects in imaging quality that arise during image reconstruction. The proposed algorithm is compared to a conventional algorithm to verify its better reconstruction results. The comparison of different scenarios confirms the suitability of the algorithm to the system in this paper.
