EOTS(Electro-Optical Tracking System) provides stabilized images while tracking a moving target. The key of geo-pointing is the function that fixes EOTS's sight to a specific position(geo-point) throughout aircraft maneuvers. In this paper, a major error source for the geo-pointing is identified as the transport delay of navigation information, and an augmented Kalman filter is designed to estimate the present attitude of aircraft using delayed navigation information. Simulation results including the presented scheme shows that the error due to the information transport delay reduces under half.

The Multi-Spectral Camera (MSC) is the payload of KOMPSAT-2 which is designed for earth imaging in optical and near-infrared region on a sun-synchronous orbit. The telescope in the MSC is a Ritchey-Chretien type with large aperture. The telescope structure should be well stabilized and the optical alignment should be kept steady so that best images can be achieved. However, the MSC is exposed to adverse thermal environment on the orbit which can give impacts on optical performance. Solar incidence can bring non-uniform temperature rise on the telescope tube which entails unfavorable thermal distortion. Three ways of preventing the solar radiation were proposed, which were installing external mechanical shield, internal shield, and maneuvering the spacecraft. After trade-off study, internal sun shield was selected as a practical and optimal solution to minimize the effect of the solar radiation. In addition, detailed designs of the structure and sunshield were produced and analyses have been performed. The results were assessed to verify their impacts to the image quality. It was confirmed that the internal sunshield complies with the requirements and would improve image quality.

For high density optical storage, there should be a high NA objective lens and a shorter wavelength laser diode. To secure the disc tilt margin related to the coma aberration, moreover, it's difficult to apply the tilt compensation mechanism into the portable PC. In this paper, we proposed the 3-axis asymmetry pickup actuator with high efficiency symmetric magnetic circuit, which consisted of the top cover type inner yoke for high magnetic flux density, the coil stack unit for the 3-axis independent operation and vertically polarized magnets. This newly suggested actuator features DVD-RAM recording, we achieved the high focus & track AC sensitivity and the greatly stabilized system.

Measurements results of flow-structure-interactions (FSI) of an air-lifted body are introduced. An adaptive stereoscopic-PIV system has been constructed for the measurements of the air-lifted body. The measurement system consists of two cameras and optical sensors. The flow characteristics around a lifted cylinder body(length=60mmm, diameter =10mm, polystyrene) in the swirling flow field in a vertical pipe (length=600mm, inner diameter=) are investigated by the use of the constructed adaptive stereoscopic-PIV system. The images of the two cameras were used for the analysis of the flow fields around the floated cylinder body. The images of the cylinder body captured by the two cameras were used for the analyses of its motions. Four optical sensors (LED) were used for the detection of the postures of the freely-lifted cylinder body. The FSI analyses have been carried out to find the physical conditions at which the floating body is stabilized with its upright postures.

A roughness measuring system which comprises an integrating sphere and a stabilized laser has been fabricated with the aim of measuring the roughness correction value which is necessary in gauge block measurement by optical interferometry. To calibrate the system, a Newton's ring interferometer has been introduced. The method how to calibrate the roughness measurement system has been described.

Using Mach-Zehnder type intensity modulator, we stabilized a 10 GHz harmonically mode-locked dispersion-compensated fiber ring laser using a feedback controlling system, and we measured its stability. The laser was stabilized for more than 16 hours by controlling the cavity length to suppress the relaxation oscillation frequency component which had caused the laser output instability. The ms timing jitter and ms amplitude noise were measured to be 260-524 fsec and 4~11.5%, respectively, and BER test measurement showed a value of 10$^{-13}$ .

For polyacrylonitrile (PAN) based carbon fiber (CF) process, we developed a lab scale wet spinning line and a continuous tailor-made stabilization system with ten columns for controlling temperature profile. PAN precursor was spun with a different spinning rate. PAN spun fibers were stabilized with a total duration of 45 to 110 min at a given temperature profile. Furthermore, a stabilization temperature profile was varied with the last column temperature from 230 to $275^{\circ}C$. Stabilized fibers were carbonized in nitrogen atmosphere at $1200^{\circ}C$ in a furnace. Morphologies of spun and CFs were observed using optical and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. Tensile properties of resulting CFs were measured. The results revealed that process conditions such as spinning rate, stabilization time, and temperature profile affect microstructure and tensile properties of CFs significantly.

We have measured the wavelengths of the absorption lines of the $^{13}$ C$_2$H$_2$molecule by using a wavelength meter calibrated against the national optical frequency standard (iodine Stabilized He-Ne Laser, KRISS-R701) in the visible wavelength region. To measure the absolute wavelengths of the absorption lines, the frequency of the laser has been stabilized in the peaks and the sides of the absorption lines of $^{13}$ C$_2$H$_2$. Also, we have proposed the development of a frequency standard source of ITU-T grid using stabilization in the sides of the absorption lines of $^{13}$ C$_2$H$_2$.

We synthesized the nonlinear optical (NLO) PI-SOT(polyimide system, 4-[N,N-bis(hydroxyethyl)amino-4,-($\beta$-cyano-$\beta$-methylsulfonyl)vinyl]azobenzene) polymer with high electro-optic coefficients as well as good thermal and temporal stabilities of the elector-optic coefficient ${\gamma}_33$ by the simple Mitsunobu reaction. By using the simple reflection method of C. C. Teng, we measured the thermal and temporal stabilities of the electro-optic coefficient ${\gamma}_33$ of corona-poled PI-SOT polymer at the wavelength of 632.8 nm and 852 nm, respectively. At the temperature of $20^{\circ}C$, the electro-optic coefficient ${\gamma}_33$ of corona-poled PI-SOT polymer were 25.12 pm/V at the wavelength of 632.8 nm and 5.40 pm/V at the wavelength of 852 nm. These values were highly stabilized for more than 60 days at 2$0^{\circ}C$ and stabilized within 6% for more than 10 hours at $100^{\circ}C$.
