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.

In this paper, we investigate a new method to measure the thickness of thin transparent objects utilizing a step index multi-mode optical fiber sensor. The method mainly depends on the refraction rate of transparent target, the diameter of optical fibers and the distance to reflector. We confirmed the effects of these parameters through the experimental verification tests. The comparison between the theoretical vs. analytical results shows good agreements with each other. The proposed model also enables users to measure the thickness of thin transparent objects without considering the reflection from the target. This approach provides simple, cost-effective and non-contact solutions to measure the thickness.

AZO/Ag/AZO multi-layer films deposited on glass substrate by RF magnetron sputtering and thermal evaporator have a much better electrical properties than Al-doped ZnO thin films. The multi-layer structure consisted of three layers, AZO/Ag/AZO, the electrical and optical properties of AZO/Ag/AZO were changed mainly by thickness of Ag layers. The optimum thickness of Ag layers was determined to be $90{\AA}$ for high optical transmittance and good electrical conductivity. The Ag layers thickness $90{\AA}$ is an optical transmittance greater than 80% of visible light and the obtained multilayer thin film with the low resistivity of $8.05{\times}10-3{\Omega}cm$ and the low sheet resistance $5.331{\Omega}/sq$. Applying to TCO and Solar electrode will improve efficiency.

We studied the influence of GaAs top-layer thickness on the small-signal modulation response and 56 Gb/s four-level pulse-amplitude modulation eye quality of 850 nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). We considered the proportionality of the gain-saturation coefficient to the photon lifetime. The simulation results that employed the transfer-matrix method and laser rate equations led to the conclusion that the proportionality should be considered for proper explanation of the experimental results. From the obtained optical eyes, we could determine an optimum thickness of the GaAs top layer that rendered the best eye quality of VCSEL. We also compared two results: one result with a fixed gain-saturation coefficient and the other that considered the proportionality. The former result with the constant gain-saturation coefficient demonstrated a better eye quality and a wider optimum range of the GaAs top-layer thickness because the resultant higher damping reduced the relaxation oscillation.

By inserting a very thin metal layer of Ag between two outer oxide layers of amorphous silicon indium zinc oxide (SIZO), we fabricated a highly transparent SIZO/Ag/SIZO multilayer on a glass substrate. In order to find the optimized thickness of Ag layers, we investigated the variation of optical properties depending on Ag thickness. It was found that the transition of Ag layer from island formation to a continuous film occurred at a critical thickness. Continuity of the Ag film is very important for optical properties in SIZO/Ag/SIZO multilayer. With about 15 nm thick Ag layer, the multilayer showed a high optical transmittance of 80% at 550 nm and low emissivity in IR.

Point contact film thickness in elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) is analyzed by image processing method for the images from an optical interferometer with monochromatic incident light. Interference between the reflected lights both on half mirror Cr coating of glass disk and on super finished ball makes circular fringes depending on the contact conditions such as sliding velocity, applied load, viscosity-pressure characteristics and viscosity of lubricant under ambient pressure. In this situation the film thickness is regarded as the difference of optical paths between those reflected lights, which make dark and bright fringes with monochromatic incident light. The film thickness is computed by numbering the dark and bright fringe orders and the intensity (gray scale image) in each fringe regime is mapped to the corresponding film thickness. In this work, we developed a measuring technique for EHL film thickness by dividing the image patterns into two typical types under the condition of monochromatic incident light. During the image processing, the captured image is converted into digitally formatted data over the contact area without any loss of the image information of interferogram and it is also interpreted with consistency regardless of the observer's experimental experience. It is expected that the developed image processing method will provide a valuable basis to develop the image processing technique for color fringes, which is generally used for the measurement of relatively thin films in higher resolution.

공진기 내에 유전체 개구를 채용하고, $a-So/SiO_2_2$를 브라그 거울로 이용하고, 발진 파장이 38 $\mu\textrm{m}$인 표면 발광 테라헤르츠 레이저의 브라그 거울의 반사율을 계산하여 공진기 내 개구에 의한 회절 손실을 계산하였다. 공진기 내 개구의 크기, 위치, 두께 모두 회절 광 손실에 영향을 주는 것을 알 수 있었다 개구의 크기가 발진 파장의 5배 이상이면 개구의 두께가 회절 손실에 미치는 영향이 미미하나, 개구의 크기가 발진 파장보다 작은 경우에는 개구의 두께가 회절 광 손실에 많은 영향을 주는것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 회절 손실을 줄이고 충분한 반사율을 얻기 위해서는 레이저 개구의 두께가 3nm 경우에 개구의 크기는 적어도 1$\lambda$이상이 되어야 함을 알 수 있었다.

Crosslinked poly(methyl methacrylate) particles from 2.4 to $8.1{\mu}m$ in diameter were prepared by homogenized suspension polymerization. The effect of polymerization parameters such as homogenizing speed, homogenizing time and stabilizer concentration on the particle size were examined. Optical diffusion films were prepared with the crosslinked poly(methyl methacrylate) particles. The effect of film thickness, particle size, and particle size distribution on transmittance and haze of optical diffusion film was examined. Transmittance of optical diffusion film increased with increasing particle size and decreasing film thickness. Haze increased with increasing film thickness and decreasing particle size. We also found the existence of an optimum ratio for optical performance when the mixture of small particle and large particle was used.

Two different coverlayers which is useful for an optical buffer and a mechanical protection made of not only UV resin but also polycarbonate coversheet were prepared on small form factor optical disks. Thin coverlayer of 10 ${\mu}m$ and thick coverlayer of 80 ${\mu}m$ were fabricated. 10 ${\mu}m$-thick coverlayer was coated using UV resin material by spin coating method for the flying optical head application. On the other hand, 80 ${\mu}m$-thick coverlayer using coversheet with the resin bonding material was prepared for the non-flying optical head application. Both cases, the thickness uniformity seem to be the primary prerequisite factor, and it was analyzed. Thickness of 10 ${\mu}m$-thick UV resin coverlayer could be controlled within ${\pm}0.2m$ range and 80 ${\mu}m$-thick coversheet could be controlled within ${\pm}3{\mu}m$ range. However, the yield of such thickness tolerance was not good. New design of metal housing holder and polycarbonate outer ring was adopted to diminish the ski-jump phenomenon. Specifically, the polycarbonate outer ring was very effective to reduce the ski-jump. However, it should be careful to maintain uniform edge between disk and ring for the perfect coverlayer.
