Buried channel JET-X CCDs (Joint European X-ray Telescope Charge Coupled Devices: EEV CCD12) with a deep depletion have been analyzed to provide an optimized condition for a charge storage and transfer. A maximum charge capacity has been found for the supplementary narrow channel by considering the potential distribution as a function of a mobile charge. Analysis for the depletion edges of JET-X CCDs have been successfully performed, showing good agreement with the depths estimated from X-ray detection efficiency measurements [1]. (omitted)

지수함수형태의 전달함수를 갖는 전계흡수 광변조기(electroabsorption modulator： EAM)의 비선형성 보상을 위해 로그함수형태의 전달함수를 갖는 반도체 광증폭기(semiconductor optical amplifier : SOA)를 이용한다. 우선 SOA의 전달함수는 EAM의 전달함수와 역함수 관계를 갖기 때문에 EAM의 상호변조왜곡 (intermodulation distortion： IMD)을 보상한다. 더불어 SOA가 제공하는 이득에 의해 변조신호는 증폭되어진다. 이 두 가지에 의해 EAM의 SFDR(spurious free dynamic range)은 증가한다. 이때 SOA는 EAM 뒷단에 직렬로 연결되어 이득포화영역에서 동작되어진다. EAM의 IMD 보상을 향상시키기 위해서는 SOA의 이득을 증가시켜 이득포화영역 기울기를 증가시켜야 한다. 하지만 SOA의 이득 증가에 따라 ASE 잡음도 증가하여 시스템의 잡음레벨을 높여 EAM의 SFDR은 감소한다. 즉 SOA의 이득포화영역 기울기와 ASE 잡음은 이득에 대해 trade-off를 가지게 되고 모의실험 결과 이득이 약 8㏈일 때 최적화 된다. 이 지점에서 EAM의 SFDR 향상은 약 9㏈였다. SOA를 사용한 EAM 선형성 향상 방법은 구성이 간편하고 3개의 소자를 집적할 경우 낮은 삽입손실, 낮은 편광의존성, 낮은 처핑 등 효율적인 아날로그 광변조기로 이용될 수 있다.

In this paper, we propose efficient design and construction of an infrared wide angle optical system with low distortion utilizing a high resolution detector for automobile application. The operational convenience and the recognition ability have been improved significantly by applying the high resolution uncooled thermal detector with wide angle optical design. The active ahtermalization mechanism is implemented so that the adjustment of the optical component of the system is to be made automatically according to the temperature change by motorized control. The modulation transfer function (MTF) is about 50% at the Nyquist frequency close the diffraction limit. The distortion is less than 5% at the edge field. As a result, a high-resolution uncooled thermal optical system with wide field of view (FOV) is assembled, aligned and its performance is tested successfully.

Vibration is a source of performance degradation in all optical imaging systems. Performance of high resolution remote sensing payloads is often limited due to satellite platform vibrations. Effects of Linear and high frequency sinusoidal vibrations on the system MTF are known exactly in closed form but the low frequency vibration effects is a random process and must be considered statistically. Usually the vibration MTF budget is defined based on the mission requirements and the overall MTF limitations. For analyzing low frequency effects, designer must know all the systems specifications and parameters. With a good understanding of harmful vibration frequencies and amplitudes in the system preliminary design phase, their effects could be removed totally or partially. This procedure is cost effective and let the designer to eliminate just harmful vibrations and avoids over-designing. In this paper we have analyzed the effects of low-frequency platform vibrations on the payload's modulation transfer function. We have used a statistical analysis to find the probability of imaging with a MTF equal or greater than a pre-defined budget for different missions. The worst and average cases have been discussed and finally we have proposed "look-up figures". Using these look-up figures, designer can choose the electro-optical parameters in such a way that vibration effects be less than its pre-defined budget. Furthermore, using the results, we can propose a damping profile based on which vibration frequencies and amplitudes must be eliminated to stabilize the payload system.

We introduce a spectral reconstruction method to enhance the spectral resolution in a static modulated Fourier-transform spectrometer. The optical-path difference and the interferogram in the focal plane, as well as the relationship of the interferogram and the spectrum, are discussed. Additionally, for better spectral reconstruction, applications of phase-error correction and apodization are considered. As a result, the transfer function of the spectrometer is calculated, and then the spectrum is reconstructed based on the relationship between the transfer function and the interferogram. The spectrometer comprises a modified Sagnac interferometer. The spectral reconstruction is conducted with a source with central wave number of 6,451 cm^-1 and spectral width of 337 cm^-1. In a conventional Fourier-transform method the best spectral resolution is 27 cm^-1, but by means of the spectral reconstruction method the spectral resolution improved to 8.7 cm^-1, without changing the interferometric structure. Compared to a conventional Fourier-transform method, the spectral width in the reconstructed spectrum is narrower by 20 cm^-1, and closer to the reference spectrum. The proposed method allows high performance for static modulated Fourier-transform spectrometers.

We have evaluated the suppression effect of atmospheric-turbulence-induced optical scintillation in terrestrial free-space optical (FSO) communication systems using a gain-saturated erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA). The variation of EDFA output signal power has been measured with different amounts of gain saturation and modulation indices of the optical input signal. From the measured results, we have found that the peak-to-peak power variation was decreased drastically below 2 kHz of modulation frequency, in both 3-dB and 6-dB gain compression cases. Then, the power spectral density (PSD) of optical scintillation has been calculated with Butterworth-type transfer function. In the calculation, different levels of atmospheric-turbulence-induced optical scintillation have been taken into account with different values of the Butterworth cut-off frequency. Finally, the suppression effect of optical scintillation has been estimated with the measured frequency response of the EDFA and the calculated PSD of the optical scintillation. From our estimated results, the atmospheric-turbulence-induced optical scintillation could be suppressed efficiently, as long as the EDFA were operated in a deeply gain-saturated region.

The world's first geostationary ocean color imager (GOCI) is a three-mirror anastigmat optical system 140 mm in diameter. Designed for 500 m ground sampling distance, this paper deals with on-orbit modulation transfer function (MTF)measurement and analysis for GOCI. First, the knife-edge and point source methods were applied to the 8th band (865 nm) image measured April 5th, 2011. The target details used are the coastlines of the Korean peninsula and of Japan, and an island 400 meters in diameter. The resulting MTFs are 0.35 and 0.34 for the Korean East Coastline and Japanese West Coastline edge targets, respectively, and 0.38 for the island target. The daily and seasonal MTF variations at the Nyquist frequency were also checked, and the result is $0.32{\pm}0.04$ on average. From these results, we confirm that the GOCI on-orbit MTF performance satisfies the design requirements of 0.32 for 865 nm wavelength.

We explored a method to evaluate imaging performance for the optimal assembly of an endoscopic miniature lens and a sensor constituting an imaging module at the distal end of gastrointestinal endoscopy. For the assembly of the imaging module, the image sensor was precisely located at the focal plane when collimated light passed through the endoscopic lens. As another method, the distance between the lens and sensor was adjusted to obtain the highest focus index from images measured the star chart of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard at various positions. We analyzed the slanted-edge modulation transfer function (MTF), corresponding depth of field, and number of line pairs for MTF 50% and 20% at each working distance within the range of 5-100 mm for imaging modules assembled in different ways. Assembly conditions of the imaging module with better MTF performance were defined for each working distance range of 5-30 mm and 30-100 mm, respectively. In addition to the MTF performance, the focus index of each assembled module was also compared. In summary, we examined the performance of imaging modules assembled with different methods within the suggested working distance and tried to establish the optimal assembly protocol.
