A robust, accurate, broad-band, alternating current sensor using fiber-optics is being developed as a part of optical over current protection relay system. The sensor uses the Faraday effect in optical fiber and polarimetric measurements tc sense electrical current. The current sensing coil consists of a length of twisted optical fiber and Faraday rotator mirror to suppress the linear birefringence effect. Due to its single-ended closed path structure, it can not only be easily installed to the target with great isolation from other fields in the vicinity, but the sensitivity can be increased by using multiple turns. This paper reports on the theoretical backgrounds of the sensor design and the preliminary experimental results.

The hutches which are installed in the beamline are largely classified into two, i.e XPP (X-ray pump probe) and CXI (Coherent X-ray image). Laser room is installed on the hutch and provides laser to XPP and CXI simultaneously. And two hutches have heavy crane to install some optics equipments. Safety and reliability of hutch structures should be taken into account for the precise operating of the laser facilities, so vibration analysis is essential to do this. The main purpose of vibration analysis is to install hutch structures with large stiffness. We have changed materials specification several times to install hutch structures having strong stiffness. Now hutch structures were installed and checked vibration status at laser room and XPP hutch. The results of laser table and robot arm satisfy vibration criteria. This paper explains about the design and vibration analysis of hutch structures.

3D modeling is extensively used in the field of architecture, machinery and contents production such as movies. Modeling is a time-consuming task. In order to compensate for these drawbacks, attempts have recently been made to reduce the production period by applying 3D scanning technology. 3D scanning for small objects can be done directly with laser or optics, but large buildings and sculptures require expensive equipment, which makes it difficult to acquire data directly. In this study, 3D modeling data for a large object is acquired using photometry with using drones to acquire the image data. The maintenance method for uniform spacing between the sculpture and the drone, the measurement method for the flight line were presented. In addition, we presented a production environment that can utilize the obtained 3D point cloud data for animation and a rendered animation result to find ways to make it in various environments.

A lot of varIOUS studies are taking advantage of annular masks or various pupil filters to design optical systems such as a digital versatile disc (DVD) pick up head and precise scanning microscopy that have the superresolution beyond the diffraction limit. We considered both annular mask and pupil filter for the superresolution system. Since image quality is a function of annular width, position and modulation amount, we computel'lzed the optimized condition for the phase modulation and mvestigated the variation of lhe center peak: intensity for the phase modulated system From tills result, we were able to detenrune the best conditions for the annular apodizer, wluch give the maximum value of the center peak intensity_ We made especially sure that the phase modulated system have an excellent compensation for spherical aberration as it lllcreases. eases.

To evaluate the effects of ingestion of alcoholic drinks on the toxicities of industrial compounds, cyclohexane (CH) was intraperitoneally administrated to rats (1.56 g/kg body weght), which had been ingested 15% ethanol for up to 6 weeks, 4 times by once a day and every other day. Following the last treatment of ethanol or CH, blood and lung tissues were collected during 24 hours prior to sacrifice of animals. Comparing with the control group, the lung weight per body weight (%) and the protein content in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were increased in the ethanol-pretreated group, and the glucose-6-phosphatase activity in lung tissues was decreased in the CH-treated group. In a morphological observations, pulmonary embolus were found in the CH-treated group, whereas a partial pulmonary atelectasis and a much increase in pulmonary embolus were shown in the CH-treated group after pretreated with ethanol for 6 weeks. In conclusion, these results indicate that ethanol pretreatment could enhance CH metabolism and that CH treatment with ethanol pretreatment could induce lung injury due to the increased CH metabolism.

An ophthalmic endoscope which is used in medical applications should have the total diameter less than 1 mm. Its image resolution is limited to 30∼40 lp/mm. Therefore, the image resolution is one of the most important factors to decide image quality of the ophthalmic endoscopic images. This study obtained high resolution and magnifying ophthalmic endoscopic images by a new optical design using a 0.23 pitch GRIN lens and high resolution fiber-optic image guide which has less than 5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ diameter microfibers. The resolutions of images from existing and from a new type of ophthalmic endoscope are measured and compared using a USAF resolution target.

An optical system for a stereoscopic video recorder is designed with the field of view 42$^{\circ}$ and effective diameter 22 mm. We can use it by attaching it to the front lens of any video camera or camcorder to record a stereoscopic scene. This system is a double Kepler type afocal system to make the image erect and a bi-ocular type to record and display the stereoscopic scene. The optical tube length is folded with several flat mirrors and a beam splitter to be compact. This optical system is composed of 4 groups of lenses and each group serves as a relay lens for minimizing the vignetting effect. Whole field stereoscopic scenes may be captured by perpendicularly polarized alternated recording with a chopper and two perpendicular polarizers, without any loss of light energy. The displayed images may be seen stereoscopically with polarized spectacles and are kinetic because of an afterimage effect.

Low-aberration holographic scanners that eliminate the need for lenses and mirrors promise to greatly reduce the cost of laser printers and image scanners. In this study, a holographic optical element that can simultaneously scan and focus a laser beam is designed with analytic ray tracing method. An analytic and experimental work is conducted in which we investigated the hologram structure and hologon configuration for linear aberration-free scanning. For a prototype scanner, a He-Ne laser is used to manufacture and reconstruct the hologram, and the measured bow is about $\pm$133$\mu\textrm{m}$ and spot size(half-intensity beamwidth) in under 100$\mu\textrm{m}$ for a 300 mm scan length without using a correcting lens or mirror. The diffraction efficiency is about 55$\pm$5%, which is acceptably flat. The experimentally measured results agrees with the computed values. From this fact, we can conclude that the computed results using ray tracing method are practical and useful values, and have a potential for use in high resolution laser printers.

The simulation code was developed for the development of the split-disk geometry glass amplifier, which could design the laser apparatus and analyze the properties of the laser system. The flashlamp emission energy at the short wavelength region must be reduced, while maintaining a current density between 2000 and 4000 A/$\textrm{cm}^{2}$, in order to reduce the thermal loading in the laser glass and to raise the coupling efficiency between the emission spectrum of the flashlamps and the absorption spectrum of the laser glass. By cutting the laser glass into three equal pieces, the temperature rise in the laser glass dropped by 70% due to the efficient removal of the heat in the laser glass. It was found that the $Nd^{3+}$ doping rate of each laser glass should be properly selected and the optimum value of the product of the absorption coefficient $\alpha$ and the thickness d of the laser glass is about 0.26 in the split-disk geometry.

A new design of four-pass dye laser amplifier affording a narrow-bandwidth pulsed output is demonstrated to suppress the amplified spontaneous emission(ASE) carried by the amplifier output and reduce the possibility of parasitic oscillation in the amplifier. By the direct pulsed amplification of a cw 100 mW dye laser under a Q-switched doubled Nd:YAG laser pumping with energy of 5.6 mJ/pulse, high-peak-power pulsed output with 1.5-mJ energy in 130-MHz bandwidth is obtained corresponding to a power gain greater than $2{\times}10^6$ and an energy efficiency of 27%. The ASE ratio in the four-pass amplifier output is dramatically reduced by using a diffraction grating in the amplifier. Compared with the results obtained from the normal operation of the amplifier with no frequency-selective device, the ASE ratio is reduced by a factor in excess of 10 to remain under 1.5% of the amplifier output whereas the total output energy is slightly increased by ~4%.
