In this communication, we present an expression to determine thermal lensing in isotropic materials. The heat equation is analytically solved when a Gaussian spatial laser beam profile is introduced to a cylindrical geometry of optics using a complete set of Bessel functions. This expression permits explicit calculation of variation of focal length induced by thermal lensing and allows thermal effects for various material parameters on the optics. We applied our model to a high absorption material (Ti:sapphire) and also transparent material (thallium garnet or TGG) and found that the thermal lensing can be reduced more than 4 times by adjusting the laser beam waist and optics dimensions. Our analysis is completely general and applicable to any optical system.

Purpose: This study has been compared the degree of corneal edema arising from the material of the lens after wearing the recommended wearing time for the contact lens. Methods: For the study, 43 adults of 77 eyes who did not use drugs and have not any disease participated. Three types of lenses including narafilcon A, HEMA, and silicone hydrogel material regular replaceable lenses were used. Central corneal thickness was measured before and after 8 hours from wearing lenses using Pentacam. The degree of corneal edema was determined by the difference before and after wearing. Results: The average corneal edema of narafilcon A, HEMA material lens, and silicone hydrogel material regular replaceable lens were $2.36{\pm}6.15{\mu}m(Mean{\pm}SD)$, $23.61{\pm}10.71{\mu}m$, $18.25{\pm}8.64{\mu}m$, respectively. The central corneal thickness after wearing narafilcon A was not statistically significant with the central corneal thickness before wearing the lens. Central corneal thickness before and after wearing HEMA material lens and silicone hydrogel material regular replaceable lens were statistically significant. Conclusions: The amount of corneal edema induced by silicone hydrogel material regular replaceable lens was no statistically significant difference to the amount of corneal edema induced by HEMA material lens, but there was significant difference to narafilcon A. Therefore, it is judged to be careful not to exceed the recommended wearing time depending on the composition of the contact lens material.

In this study, we synthesized the chalcogenide glass($Ge_{19}Sb_{23}Se_{58}$) for infrared optics by meltquenching method and verified the effect of cooling condition on the glass properties. The structural and optical properties of the glass were analyzed by XRD, FT-IR and SEM image. The glass synthesized under the cooling temperature of $980^{\circ}C$ shows transmittance of 58% at $8\sim12{\mu}m$, which was decreased as the cooling temperature was decreased. In addition, thermal and hardness also were measured. From the analysis results, we ascertained the feasibility as a molding materials for infrared optics.

본 연구에서는 무안경식 3 차원 입체영상 기술에 쓰이는 렌티큘러 렌즈의 제작공정 중 오차(Error)로 작용할 수 있는 몇 가지 변수를 가정하였고 이러한 변수의 오차에 의해 좌우되는 가장 중요한 성능인자인 광학적 상호간섭 (Cross-Talk)을 최소화하도록 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위해서 초정밀절삭가공과 UV경화법을 사용하였고 광학적 상호간섭 (Cross-Talk)에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 피치공차 (Allowance)를 ${\pm}0.5{\mu}m$내로 줄여서 3차원 입체감을 향상시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The purpose of this study is synthesizing silicone polymer which is used the material of contact lens and solving the problems of water content and light transmittance for gas permeable contact lens. We used NVP, MMA, HEMA monomer for polymerization and EGDMA as cross linking regent. Also, we polymerized with a several formulation arrangement for the best condition as contact lens. After that. we measured water content and light transmittance by each sample which was polymerized. We polymerized the silicone polymer which is simultaneously pursued by the transparent and water content of the material and measured their physical nature of each sample on this study.

Transformation optics methodology provides a new pathway for designing novel devices. It is based on changing a material’s permittivity and permeability. A design for changing the appearance of an object by transformation optics methodology is proposed here. Through a certain transformation, the relations of the metric spaces and the calculation of the material parameters are derived, and the aim of changing the apparent size of an object can be realized. Full wave simulations are performed to validate the proposed device’s performance. It is possible to think that the methodology will improve the flexibility of designing interesting applications in microwave and optical regimes.

With the recent development of less-costly uncooled detector technology, expensive optics are among the remaining significant cost drivers in the thermography camera. As a potential solution to this problem, the fabrication of IR lenses using chalcogenide glass has been studied in recent years. We report on the molding and evaluation of a ultra-precision chalcogenide-glass lens for the thermography camera for body-temperature monitoring. In addition, we fabricated prototype thermography camera using the chalcogenide-glass lens and obtained the thermal image from the camera. In this work, it was found out that thermography camera discerned body-temperature between 20 and $50^{\circ}C$ through the analysis of thermal image. It is confirmed that thermography camera using the chalcogenide-glass lens is applicable to the body-temperature monitoring system.

This paper has studied dissymmetrical light distribution design using the secondary optics in the simulation. fundamental Lambertian radiation distribution based on LED has been cut off by the secondary optics, and the first surface slope of lens and second surface slope of total reflection area have been calculated through formula. PMMA (the index of refraction: 1.49361) which is material of lens has been selected. critical angle($42.02993^{\circ}$) between Air and PMMA has been calulated by snell's law, and total reflection angle slope has been selected about $16.67^{\circ}$ to occur the total reflection. when the first surface slope and the second surface slope has been set up, Rays of all total reflection area have generated the total reflection. finally, designed LED Module has been estimated by Korean Industrial Standards for LED safety street lighting. dissymmetrical light distribution have been analyzed with reached effect of road illuminance, and average road illuminance which are each 70.6 lx, 40.35 lx, and 25.88 lx have been satisfied with Korean Industrial Standards for LED safety street lighting.
