  • Our previous study used a bar-type reference mirror to measure the relative distance to the target surface. The target measurement accuracy was required to $1{\mu}m$ PV for aspheric optical surface up to 1m in diameter. Earlier system suffers from the reference surface deformation when the measuring part moves. In order to reduce the deformation, measuring part and the reference part separated from each order in the new design. This system utilizes a kinematic support assembly using invar flexure to minimize the reference surface deformation under gravity and vibration. The surface deformation requirement of reference mirror is defined as of $0.2{\mu}m$ under gravity and 40Hz vibration. The finite element results, shows reference mirror deformation of $0.164{\mu}m$. The first resonance mode was computed to analysis 46.05Hz for reference part and 43.44Hz for measuring part. Thesis satisfies the frequency requirement.

  • Based on liquid-lens technology and our previous findings on the optical model of the Chinese eye, the liquid lens is applied in the research of the crystalline-lens optical model. Theoretical models of three-layer liquid lenses are built with COMSOL software, and the effect of voltage on the shape of the interface between two liquids is analyzed. By polynomial fitting, different equations describing the interface shape are set up under different voltages. Finally, the optical system of the human eye with a three-layer liquid lens is built and analyzed with Zemax optical design software, and moreover the optical system models of emmetropia, myopia, and hyperopia are presented. This method to build a model of the human eye with a variable-focus liquid lens can provide a novel idea for more practical human-eye models for clinical regulation and control in the future.

  • Remote-sensing optical payloads, especially hyperspectral imagers, have particular issues with stray light because they often encounter high-contrast target/background conditions, such as sun glint. While developing an optical payload, we usually apply several stray-light analysis methods, including forward and backward analyses, separately or in combination, to support lens design and optomechanical design. In addition, we often characterize the stray-light response over a full field to support calibration, or when developing an algorithm to correct stray-light errors. For this purpose, we usually use forward analysis across the entire field, but this requires a tremendous amount of computational time. In this paper, we propose a sequence of forward-backward-forward analyses to more effectively investigate the through-field response of stray light, utilizing the combined advantages of the individual methods. The application is an airborne hyperspectral imager for creating hyperspectral maps from 900 to 1700 nm in a 5-nm-continuous band. With the proposed method, we have investigated the through-field response of stray light to an effective accuracy of 0.1°, while reducing computation time to 1/17th of that for a conventional, forward-only stray-light analysis.

  • In this paper, we propose an optimal design method for a dual reflector antenna(DRA) using the Genetic algorithm. In order to reduce the computational burden during the optimal design, we exploit the iterative physical optics(IPO) to calculate the surface current distribution at each reflector antenna. To improve the accuracy, we consider the shadow effect by the structure and the coupling effect by the multi-reflection based on the iterative MFIE(Magnetic Field Integral Equation). To reduce the number of design variables and generate a smooth surface, we use the Bezier function with the control points, which become the design variables in this paper. We adopt the HPBW(Half Power Beam Width), the FNBW(First Null Beam Width), and the SLL(Side Lobe Level) as the objective or cost functions. To verify the results, we compare them with the those of the commercial tool.

  • We report an in-depth analysis of the design and fabrication of multilayer dielectric (MLD) diffraction gratings for spectral beam combining at a wavelength of 1055 nm. The design involves a near-Littrow grating and a modal analysis for high diffraction efficiency. A range of wavelengths, grating periods, and angles of incidence were examined for the near-Littrow grating, for the $0^{th}$ and $-1^{st}$ diffraction orders only. A modal method was then used to investigate the effect of the duty cycle on the effective indices of the grating modes, and the depth of the grating was determined for only the $-1^{st}$-order diffraction. The design parameters of the grating and the matching layer thickness between grating and MLD reflector were refined for high diffraction efficiency, using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. A high reflector was deposited by electron-beam evaporation, and a grating structure was fabricated by photolithography and reactive-ion etching. The diffraction efficiency and laser-induced damage threshold of the fabricated MLD diffraction gratings were measured, and the diffraction efficiency was compared with the design's value.

  • The Fabry-Perot interferometer filters for UV meter were designed using the design program of optical thin films. From the data obtained, two filters were fabricated. The transmittance of two filter were measured by spectrophotometer in order to analysis their optical property. The transmittance was controlled by the thickness of Ag reflector and the wavelength of the transmission was controlled by the thickness of $SiO_2$ spacer. The two UV filters were fabricated by the RF magnetron sputtering which are the multilayers of [air/$SiO_2$(174.6 nm)|Ag(78 nm)|$SiO_2$(68 nm)|Ag(78 nm)|Cr(5 nm)|glass] and [air/$SiO_2$(174.6 nm)|Ag(S8 nm)|$SiO_2$(56 nm)|Ag(58 nm)|Cr(S nm)|glass]. One filter has the maximum transmittance of 6% at the about 370nm and it has the transmittance of below 0.2% at 400nm. The other filter can be found that the transmittance is increased as the thickness of Ag is decreased and the wavelength of the transmission is controlled by the thickness of $SiO_2$ spacer layer.

  • Fizeau interferometer is used for inspecting the lens surface profile accurately. This study is focused on the design and optical measuring techniques for large optical components, such as a reflection mirror for large area lithography or astronomical purpose. A tower type Fizeau interferometer is designed and set up in horizontally with a 45$^{\circ}$ fold mirror which makes easy to align the optical path of heavy interferometer system. To align the optical path, a five-axes stage for the interferometer is required. This study shows a method of the 45$^{\circ}$ fold mirror alignment by using a three-axis stage instead of adjusting the interferometer itself or measuring object. This system will be installed on the large optics polishing machine during the manufacturing process as an on-machine inspection system.

  • A passband-flattening technique based on Fourier optics concept for phased-array wavelength router is presented. For easy control of optical power in each waveguide without phase correction, misaligned array waveguides are used. BPM simulation results indicate that flat passband is as wide as 75 % of the channel spacing with the insertion loss penalty of about 6 dB and with the crosstalk of about -28 dB.
