A compact imaging spectrometer (COMIS) is currently under development for use in the STSAT3 microsatellite. COMIS images the Earth's surface and atmosphere with ground sampling distances of ${\sim}30m$ in the $18{\sim}62$ spectral bands ($4.0{\sim}1.05{\mu}m$) for the nadir looking at an altitude of 700 km. COMIS has an imaging telescope and an imaging spectrometer box into which three electronics PCBs are embedded. These are designed into a single assembly with dimensions of 35(L) $\times$ 20(W) $\times$ 12(H) $cm^3$ and a mass of 4.3 kg. Optomechanical design efforts are focused on manufacturing ease, alignment, assembly, testing and improved robustness in space environments. Finite element analysis demonstrates that COMIS will survive in launch and space environments and perform the system modulation transfer function (MTF) in excess of 0.29 at the Nyquist frequency of the CCD detector (38.5 lines-per-mm).

The CQUEAN (Camera for QUasars in EArly uNiverse) is an optical CCD camera optimized for the observation of high redshift QSOs to understand the nature of early universe. The focal reducer, which is composed of four spherical lens, is allowed to secure a wider field of view for CQUEAN, by reducing the focal length of the system by one third. We designed the lens configuration, the lens barrel, and the adapters to assemble to attach focal reducer to the CCD camera system. We performed tolerance analysis using ZEMAX. The manufacturing of the focal reducer system and its lab test of optical performance were already finished. It turned out that the performance can meet the original requirement, with the aberration and alignment error taken into account. We successfully attached the focal reducer and CQUEAN to the cassegrain focus of 2.1m telescope at McDonald Observatory, USA, and several tests of CQUEAN system were carried out. In this presentation, I will show the process of focal reducer fabrication and the result of performance test.

준탄성광산란(QELS)을 이용하여 지름이 0.3$\mu\textrm{m}$인 폴리스티렌구의 평균지름을 측정하였다. 폴리스티렌구가 표준입자로 사용되기 위하여는 평균지름의 불확도가 수 % 이내가 되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 QELS장차중 시료용기의 정렬방법 및 온도측정방법을 특별히 보완하여 계통오차를 대폭 줄였다. 표준입자 인증물질인 NIST SRM 1691 (0.269$\pm$0.007$\mu\textrm{m}$: TEM; 0.275$\pm$0.007$\mu\textrm{m}$:QELS)을 측정하여 평균지름이 0.2730.006$\mu\textrm{m}$ 인 결과를 얻었다. 개선된 측정방법 및 측정불확도를 상세히 기술하였으며 NIST의 측정결과와 비교하였다.

본 논문에서는 액정 디스플레이의 구현에 있어서 필수적인 필름인 편광판에 ITO를 증착하여 기존 액정 디스플레이에서 두께의 대부분을 차지하는 유리기판을 제거함으로써 경략 박형 액정 셀을 구현하였다. 저온($40^{\circ}C$)에서 편광판에 sputtering으로 buffer layer와 ITO를 증착하여 높은 투과율과 낮은 비저항 및 편평도를 확보하였다. 최종적으로 저온공정이 가능한 ion-beam 배향법을 이용하여 액정을 배향하고 액정 셀을 제작하고 전기광학특성을 확인하였다.

A prototype of a relativistic proton generation system, based on laser-induced plasma interaction, has been designed and fabricated. The system is composed of three major parts: a fs TW laser; a target chamber, including targets and controls; and a diagnostic system for charged particles and lasers. An Offner-type pulse stretcher for chirped pulse amplification (CPA) and eight pass pre-amplifier are installed. The main amplifier will be integrated with a new pumping laser. The design values of the laser at the first stage are 1 TW in power and 50 fs in pulse duration. We expect to generate protons with their maximum energy of approximately 3 MeV and the flux of at least $10^6$ per pulse using a 10 $\mu$m Al target. A prototype target chamber with eight 8-inch flanges, including target mounts, has been designed and fabricated. For laser diagnostics, an adaptive optics based on the Shack-Hartmann type, beam monitoring, and alignment system are all under development. For a charged particle, CR-39 detectors, a Thomson parabola spectrometer, and Si charged-particle detectors will be used for the density profile and energy spectrum. In this paper, we present the preliminary design for laser-induced proton generation. We also present plans for future work, as well as theoretical simulations.

본 논문에서는 추가적인 광학부품 및 조립공정 없이 차량용 헤드램프의 cut-off line에서 발생하는 색수차를 보정하는 방법과 이를 평가하는 방법을 제안한다. 기하학적인 방법으로 색수차를 보정하기 위해 비구면 프로젝션 렌즈의 볼록면에 tilt를 적용하여 파장별 최대 출사각도의 차이를 줄였으며, 색수차를 평가하기 위한 위치와 광도를 정하고 색 좌표를 통해 색수차 기준을 제시하였다. 이러한 기하학적인 방법을 이용하여 설계된 자동차용 헤드램프를 평가한 결과 cut-off line의 색수차가 상당히 감소되었음을 확인할 수 있었다.

The structural design of an optical-telescope assembly (OTA) for satellite laser ranging (SLR) is conducted in two steps. First, the results of a parametric study of the major design variables (e.g. dimension and shape) of the OTA part are explained, and the detailed structural design of the OTA is derived, considering the design requirements. Among the structural-shape concepts of various OTAs, the Serrurier truss concept is selected in this study, and the collimation of the telescope according to the design variables is extensively discussed. After generating finite-element models for different structural shapes, self-gravity analyses are performed. To minimize the deflection and tilt of the mirror and frame for the OTA under the limited design requirements, a parametric study is conducted according to design variables such as the shapes of the upper and lower struts and the spider vane. The structural features found in the parametric study are described. Finally, the OTA structure is designed in detail to maintain the optical alignment by balancing the gravity deflections of the upper and lower trusses using the optimal combination of the parameters. Additionally, thermal analysis of the optical telescope design is evaluated.

Laser communication has been considered as a novel method for earth observation satellites with generation of high data volume. It offers faster data transmission speeds compared to conventional radio frequency (RF) communication due to the short wavelength and narrow beam divergence. However, laser beams are refracted due to atmospheric turbulence between the ground and the satellite. Refracted laser beams, upon reaching the receiver, result in angle-of-arrival (AoA) fluctuation, inducing image dancing and wavefront distortion. These phenomena hinder signal acquisition and lead to signal loss in the course of laser communication. So, precise alignment between the transmitter and receiver is essential to guarantee effective and reliable laser communication, which is achieved by pointing, acquisition, and tracking (PAT) system. In this study, we simulate the effectiveness of tip/tilt compensation for more efficient laser communication in the satellite-ground downlink. By compensating for low-order terms using tip/tilt mirror, we verify the alleviation of AoA fluctuations under both weak and strong atmospheric turbulence conditions. And the performance of tip/tilt correction is analyzed in terms of the AoA fluctuation and collected power on the detector.
