Adaptive Optics (AO) was first studied in the field of astronomy, and its applications have been extended to the field of laser, microscopy, bio, medical, and free space laser communication. AO modelling and simulation are required throughout the system development process. It is necessary not only for proper design but also for performance verification after the final system is built. In KASI, we are trying to develop the AO Python Package for AO modelling and simulation. It includes modelling classes of atmosphere, telescope, Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor, deformable mirror, which are the components for an AO system. It also includes the ability to simulate the entire AO system over time. It is being developed in the Super Eye Bridge project to develop a segmented mirror, an adaptive optics, and an emersion grating spectrograph, which are future telescope technologies. And it is planned to be used as a performance analysis system for several telescope projects in Korea.

Aberration is still a problem for making augmented reality displays. The existing methods to solve this problem are either slow and inefficient, consume too much battery, or are too complex for straightforward implementation. There are still some problems with image quality, and users may suffer from eye strain and headaches because the images provided to each eye lack accuracy, causing the brain to receive mismatched cues between the vergence and accommodation of the eyes. In this paper, we implemented a computer simulation of an optical aberration using Zernike polynomials which are defocus, trefoil, coma, and spherical. The research showed that these optical aberrations impact the Point Spread Function (PSF) and Modulation Transfer Function (MTF). We employed the phase conjugate technique to mitigate aberrations. The findings revealed that the most significant impact on the PSF and MTF comes from the influence of spherical aberration and coma aberration.

목적: 특정 범위의 근시도 및 난시도에서 근시도 변화에 따른 고위수차의 증감 분석을 통해 근시도와 고위수차의 상관관계 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: Hartmann-Shack방식의 LADARWave 장비를 이용하여 총 992 안의 고위수차를 분석하였고, 현성굴절검사로 측정된 근시도값의 증가와 고위수차의 상관관계를 알아보았다. 결과: 전체 실험대상안에서 근시도가 증가함에 따라 총코마수차와 구면수차가 통계적으로 유의하게 증가하였으며, 트레포일 수차, 난시수차, 테트라포일 수차는 감소하였다. 근시도가 작은 군일수록 근시도에 따른 총코마수차의 변화가 더 급격하였으며 근시도가 작은 군에서는 통계적으로도 유의한 변화가 나타났다. 근시도가 -3.00 D 미만인 군은 근시도에 따른 구면수차값의 변화가 크지 않은 반면에 -3.00 D 이상인 군과 -6.00 D 이상인 군에서는 근시도에 따른 변화의 폭이 컸다. 특정 난시도 범위에서 근시도와 고위수차의 상관관계를 알아보았을 때 총코마수차는 난시도가 -1.00 D 이하인 군에서만 통계적으로 유의한 감소가 나타났다. 구면수차의 경우는 난시도가 작은 군일수록 근시도 증가에 따른 구면수차의 증가 폭이 더 커졌으며 모든 난시군에서 통계적으로 유의한 변화가 나타났다. 수평 및 수직코마수차는 특정 근시도 및 특정 난시도군별 일관성있는 증감관계가 성립하지 않았으며 통계적으로도 유의하지 않았다. 결론: 본 논문에서 밝힌 저위수차와 고위수차와의 상관관계를 통하여 시력의 질과 관련된 이해와 시력의 질 향상에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 보여진다.

본 논문에서는 37채널을 갖는 적응광학계용 SiC(Silicon Carbide) 변형거울의 파면 보상 성능 검증에 관한 내용을 다룬다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 SiC 변형거울의 파면 보상 성능을 예측하였고, 실제 closed-loop 적응광학계를 구성하여 파면 보상 성능을 확인 하였다. Closed-loop 적응광학계는 광원, 위상판, SiC 변형거울, 고속 샥-하트만 센서 그리고 제어용 컴퓨터로 구성되어있다. 회전하는 위상판에 의해 왜곡된 파면을 샥-하트만 센서로 측정하고, SiC 변형거울을 이용하여 왜곡된 파면을 보상해주는 시스템이다. 결과적으로 closed-loop 적응광학계에서 500 Hz의 속도로 PV(Peak-to-Valley) $0.3{\mu}m{\sim}0.9{\mu}m$, RMS(Root-Mean-Square) $0.06{\mu}m{\sim}0.25{\mu}m$의 왜곡된 파면을 PV $0.1{\mu}m$, RMS $0.03{\mu}m$이하로 보상시킬 수 있었다.

천체망원경의 성능은 여러가지 요소에 의해 결정된다. 대기 난류도 그 중 하나인데, 대기 난류는 망원경으로 수집한 빛을 왜곡시켜 이미지의 선명도와 해상도를 저하시킨다. 때문에 대기 난류를 보정하기 위한 기술이 연구되어 왔다. 보정 기술을 연구하기 위해서는 대기 난류를 실험실에서 모사해야 하며, 그 중 가장 실용적인 방법으로 위상판을 이용한 방법이 있다. 심한 난기류를 모사한 위상판을 측정할 때에는 주로 샥하트만 파면 센서로 측정하게 된다. 이 때, 레이저 광원은 위상판을 거쳐 샥-하트만 파면 센서로 들어가게 되는데 위상판을 거치면서 레이저의 세기가 줄어들고, 이로 인해 샥-하트만 파면 센서가 위상판을 측정하지 못하는 경우가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 난기류를 모사한 위상판 측정 시 레이저 출력 조절의 필요성과 레이저 출력이 측정된 파면에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 알아본다. 프라이드 파라미터 r₀이 상대적으로 낮은 위상판의 경우 레이저 출력으로 인해 10% 이상 r₀이 변화하였다. r₀이 상대적으로 높은 위상판의 경우 레이저 출력으로 인한 변화가 5% 미만으로 r₀이 거의 변하지 않음을 보였다. 따라서 난기류가 심한 대기 상태를 모사한 위상판일수록 레이저 출력의 영향이 미미함을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 본 논문의 시스템을 기준으로 레이저 출력 5 mW 이상에서 난기류를 모사한 위상판을 측정할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we presented the development results of high speed wavefront sensor which is used in diagnosing the beam quality of He-Ne laser for adaptive optics system. The beam quality information of laser in AO system is necessarily required for diagnosing the optical components or correcting the distorted wavefront afterward. According to system requirements, normally, it is requested that there are high precision of measurement and real time processing speed. The developed wavefront sensor in this paper achieved maximum 30Hz of measurement rate and ${\lambda}/20(\;{@}\;{\lambda}=0.6328{\mu}m)$ of measurement precision in RMS. We also applied the developed into an experimental adaptive system and verified the performance of it by correcting the aberrated wavefront with a rate of 30Hz and $\lambda$/20 precision using the combination of the developed and PID control algorithm.

In this paper, a new detection algorithm was proposed for finding the position of lenslet array spot pattern used to acquire laser wavefront. Based on the analysis of the required signal processing characteristics, we categorized into and designed four main signal processing functions. The proposed was designed in order to have robust feature against a variation of geometrical form of the spot and also implemented to have semi-automatic thresholding capability based on CCD noise analysis. For performance evaluation, we made qualitative and quantitative comparisons with Carvalho's algorithm which has been published in recent. In the given experimental spot images, the proposed could detect the spots which has 1/3 times lower than the least S/N of which Carvalho's can detect and could reach to a detection precision of 0.1 pixel at the S/N. In functional aspect, the proposed could separate all valid spots locally. From these results, the proposed could have a superior precision of location detection of spot pattern in wider S/N range.

We are developing Adaptive Optics (AO) system for astronomical use. The He-Ne laser works as an artificial light source. The tip-tilt correction servo is added to our AO system. The tip-tilt term, among the Zernike terms, is the biggest contributor of wavefront deformation caused by atmospheric turbulence at small telescopes. The tip-tilt correction servo consists of a Piezo tip-tilt platform with a mirror, a quadrant photodiode as a tip-tilt sensor, and controllers. The Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor measures the residual wavefront errors and they are corrected by the MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System) deformable mirror. The MEMS deformable mirror allows the compact size at low cost compare to adaptive secondary mirror and other deformable mirrors. As the frame rates of the MEMS deformable mirror is about tens of kHz, the frame rates of the detector in wavefront sensor is the bottleneck of the wavefront correction speed. For faster performance, we replaced a CCD which provides frame rates only 70 Hz with a CMOS with frame rates up to 450 Hz.

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.

We built a simple Adaptive Optics (AO) system at laboratory. This AO system is a step toward developing AO system for astronomical use. In this step, the AO system consists of He-Ne laser as a artificial light source, wavefront sensor, MEMS (Micro electro mechanical system) type deformable mirror and several lenses. MEMS deformable mirror allows the compact system at low cost and the only several mm sized collimated beam. We made Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor using a lenslet array and a fast frame CCD. Its performance is verified using an artificial phase disturber and noting the movement of spot images by the lenslet array. The frame rate of the driving software is about 70 fps, depending on the control parameters. The characteristics of MEMS deformable mirror was measured which includes the voltage-to-deflection relation, influence function, and cross-talk. The total system is operated under closed-loop control for the artificial phase disturber and the wavefront is found to be compensated successfully.
