We present an attractive real time in-vivo endoscopic microscope with a resolution of submicron, in which two kinds of optical correcting plates are inserted to eliminate higher order spherical aberration and field curvature. And, since the conventional objective lens is replaced to GRIN lenses with diameter of 1 mm, the above endoscopic microscope can be effectively utilized to invade minimally for live animals.

Blu-ray 디스크에서는 NA=0.85 의 높은 개구수를 채용함으로써 디스크 보호층의 두께 변동에 따른 구면수차 발생량이 매우 커지는 문제가 발생하게 된다. 따라서 디스크 두께 공차 $3{\mu}m$에서 Blu-ray 시스템의 수차 발생 허용수준을 초과한다. 그리고 Multi-layer 디스크의 경우 각 층의 간격이 $25{\mu}m$ 정도의 간격을 두고 배치되어 있어 기록층 사이에서 발생하는 구면수차의 보정이 필요하며, 종래의 기술은 보상범위가 $3{\mu}m$로 한정되어 사용이 불가능하며 또한 대물렌즈 조립공차가 엄격히 관리되어야 하는 문제점을 안고 있었다. 본 연구에서는 액정렌즈에 의한 구면수차 보정으로 이러한 문제점들을 해결하고자 하였다. 액정렌즈는 오목렌즈 액정소자와 볼록렌즈 액정소자로 구성되며 픽업 광학계 내에 조합하여 설계함으로써 Multi-layer 디스크의 두께 변동에 따라 발생하는 구면수차를 보정하고 대물렌즈 조립공차 문제를 해결할 수 있다.

Recently, it has been studied machining of micro parts with increasing demands for ultra precision parts. However, many engineering problems have already begun in polishing of optical parts or lens. As a method to overcome such problems, a new technology for the polishing of the target surface is being studied by controlling abrasives using MR fluids which are sensitive to magnetic fields. Since the current MR polishing system uses a big electromagnet, and is difficult to polish micro parts or spherical lens. Therefore, in this study, a round endmill type MR polishing system was developed to polish a three-dimensional structure which has spherical or inclined plane. And then, series of experiments were performed to verify the polishing performance of the developed round endmill type MR polishing system.

EHZP is a kind of holographic optical element, which is generated by the interference of two divergent spherical waves from point sources on the same axis. It has the spherical aberration that the focal power increases as the radial distance r increases. By using this property, optimal design of EHZP was performed for f-$\theta$ lens. As the result of optimization, the f-$\theta$ condition and the field flattening condition were well satisfied when EHZP has f0=0.803f, faR=4.076f, 1=0.406f. It was assumed for calculation of field flattening condition that the incident wave was a plane wave with the diameter of 1mm.

In this study, the surfaces of two gold nanoparticles of different shapes were modified with hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and used for contact lenses. The polymer was based on 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), and spherical and sea urchin-shaped gold nanoparticles were used as additives. CTAB was used to modify the surface of the sea urchin-shaped gold nanoparticles. To analyze the physical properties of the prepared contact lens, optical transmittance, refractive index, water content, contact angle, and atomic force microscope (AFM) were measured and evaluated. The results showed the nanoparticles did not significantly affect optical transmittance, refractive index, or water content of the lens, and tensile strength increased according to the ratio of the additive. The addition of the sea urchin-shaped nanoparticles resulted in lower wettability compared with the spherical nanoparticles, but somewhat superior tensile strength. In addition, it was found that the wettability of the lens was improved when the surface-modified sea urchin-shaped gold nanoparticles were added. The types of gold nanoparticles and surface modification methods used in this study are considered to have great potential for use in ophthalmic materials.

This paper reports a slim mobile lens design using a hybrid refractive/diffractive optical element. Conventionally a wide field of view (FOV) camera-lens design adopts a retrofocus type having a negative (-) lens at the forefront, so that it improves in imaging performance over the wide FOV, but with the sacrifice of longer total track length (TTL). However, we chose a telephoto type as a baseline design layout having a positive (+) lens at the forefront, to achieving slimness, based on the specification analysis of 23 reported optical designs. Following preliminary optimization of a baseline design and aberration analysis based on Zernike-polynomial decomposition, we applied a hybrid refractive/diffractive element to effectively reduce the residual chromatic spherical aberration. The optimized optical design consists of 6 optical elements, including one hybrid element. It results in a very slim telephoto ratio of 1.7, having an f-number of 2.0, FOV of 90°, effective focal length of 2.23 mm, and TTL of 3.7 mm. Compared to a comparable conventional lens design with no hybrid elements, the hybrid design improved the value of the modulation transfer function (MTF) at a spatial frequency of 180 cycles/mm from 63% to 71-73% at zero field (0 F), and about 2-3% at 0.5, 0.7, and 0.9 fields. It was also found that a design with a hybrid lens with only two diffraction zones at the stop achieved the same performance improvement.

We derived analytic formulae for the correction of spherical aberration, coma, and axial color of a two-components lens system consisted of a cemented doublet and a singlet by using the thin lens approximation. The correction formulae were applied to design a telephoto lens system. We examined two kinds of glass combinations in the design, one was crown-flint-crown combination and the other was flint-crown-flint combination. We found two kinds of achromatic aplanat solutions in the crown-flint-crown combination. For the case of flint-crown-flint combination, there were also two kinds of solutions, but their configurations are not useful in practice.

It was difficult to verify the car number or face of inspector in the closed circuit television because of low CCD pixels and low brightness of lens. So CCTV lens should have higher pixels and brightness. In this paper, the design of zoom lens for mega pixel Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) was introduced. We applied aspheric lens in order to reduce the spherical aberration and distortional aberration. And we applied focal length of 6-60mm, F number of 1.2, 3 million pixel resolution and magnifying power of 10 times. Also we applied infrared correction in order to use the CCTV camera in day and night effectively. These norms are the most powerful in CCTV zoom lens of focal length of 6-60mm. And if we apply this lens to the box style CCTV camera, we can verify the car number or face within 50m. Auto controlling system will be continued.

We developed a novel fabrication method of polydimethylsioxane (PDMS) lens, which can easily control the shapes of the lens using soft lithography with common photolithography and water droplet molding. A mold for PDMS lens was prepared by patterning of hydrophobic photoresist on the hydrophilic substrate and dispensing small water droplets onto the predefined hydrophilic patterns. The size of patterns determined the dimension of the lens and the dispensed volume of the water droplet decided the radius of curvature of the PDMS lens independently. The water droplet with photoresist pattern played a robustly fixed mold for lens due to difference in wettability. The radius of curvature could be calculated theoretically because the water droplets could approximate spherical cap on the substrate. Finally, concave and convex PDMS lenses which could reduce or magnify optically were fabricated by curing of PDMS on the prepared mold. The measured radii of the fabricated PDMS lenses were well matched with the estimated values. We believe that our simple and efficient fabrication method can be adopted to PDMS microlens and extended to micro optical device, lab on a chip, and sensor technology.
