Full color holographic optical element fabrication using a photopolymer is proposed for a waveguide-type head mounted display. The fabricated full color holographic optical elements can be attached to the waveguide to replace the conventional couple-in and couple-out optics in the head mounted display. To implement the system, this study analyzed the optical characteristics of the photopolymer using three lasers (red, green and blue). Considering the color uniformity, a new laminated structure for a full color holographic optical element was also designed. The proposed system was confirmed experimentally.

Unlike the conventional waveguide such as optical fiber using total internal reflection, photonic crystal waveguide(PCW), a waveguide made of a line defect in a photonic crystal(PC) structure, does not admit an analytic approach due to its complexity but requires a direct numerical approach. Here, we present numerical results of computer simulation for PCW by using the three-dimensional(3D) Finite-Difference Time -Domain(FDTD) algorithm. (omitted)

We describe a 32" liquid-crystal display (LCD) with multi-touch sensing capability by integrating IR detector arrays onto the LED backlight plate. A transparent light guide is placed in front of the display screen, with IR LEDs disposed at its edges and emitting IR light into the light guide, the light is trapped by total internal reflection within the light guide to be as touch-sensing light. A physical contact with the acrylic plate surface will stimulate some trapped light to be escaped from the light guide and pass through LCD panel to be detected by the IR detectors. The touch-sensing LCD with this configuration can locate simultaneous multiple touche points on the touchable surface.

We have designed a new TIR(Total Internal Reflection) structure for generating an LED lens which can produce a rectangular beam with small divergence angle in two perpendicular directions for an optical guidance system. The lens can control the divergence angle in the horizontal direction to be a small value of about $8^{\circ}$ with a $1mm{\times}1mm$ LED source, also in the vertical direction it can be about $7^{\circ}$, with optical collection efficiency higher than 0.83. After the lens is manufactured, the work demonstrates that the lens is suitable for an optical guidance system.

Over the past decade the experimental technique of THz time domain spectroscopy (㎔- TDS) has proved to be a versatile method for investigating a wide range of phenomena in the ㎔ or far infrared spectral region from 100 ㎓ to 5 ㎔. This paper reviews some recent results of the Ultrafast ㎔ Research Group at Oklahoma State University using ㎔-TDS as a characterization tool. The experimental technique is described along with recent results on ㎔ beam propagation and how ㎔ beam profiles arise from propagation of pulse fronts along caustics. To illustrate how spatio-temporal electric field measurements can determine material properties over a wide spectral range, propagation of ㎔ pulses through systems exhibiting frustrated total internal reflection (FTIR) are reviewed. Finally two potential metrology applications of ㎔-TDS are discussed, thin film characterization and non-destructive evaluation of ceramics. Although ㎔-TDS has been confined to the research laboratory, the focus on application may stimulate the adoption of ㎔- TDS for industrial or metrology applications.

In this paper, we propose the optical system design for a medium sized LED marine lanterns which simplifies the multi-layer structure into a single structure. In order to satisfy the target fixed intensity(35,000cd) and vertical divergence($-2.5^{\circ}{\sim}-4.0^{\circ}$, $+2.5^{\circ}{\sim}+4.0^{\circ}$), we use the total internal reflection collimator lens. And a Monte Carlo simulation has been utilized to optimize a condition of a LED package, TIR lens and outside lens. The computer simulation results indicated that this LED marine lanterns can produce of a fixed intensity(35,382cd) and vertical divergence($-3.1^{\circ}{\sim}+2.5^{\circ}$). Using the this optical system, we achieve the target value of LED lanterns.

굴절률이 외부보다 큰 원통(cylinder)이나 구(sphere)는 경계면에서의 빛의 전반사(total internal reflection)에 의해 손실이 매우 적은 high-Q 공진기가 될 수 있음이 잘 알려져 있다. 이때 발진되는 공명모드를 '속삭이는 회랑 모드(whispering gallery mode: WGM)'라고 하며, 색소가 첨가된 고체 구, 액체 방울, 액체 제트 등의 미소 공진기나 반도체 microdisk 등에서 구현되었다. 이러한 미소공진기는 일반적으로 완전한 구나 실린더의 형태로 만들어지는데, 이 경우 공진 모드를 analytic 하게 구할 수 있고 기하 광학적으로 비교적 간단히 이해할 수 있다. 하지만 최근 Nockel 등에 의해 공진기에 변형을 가한 경우 여러 가지 재미있는 현상이 일어날 수 있다는 것이 밝혀졌다$^{(1, 2)}$ (중략)

We design and fabricate a widely tunable laser diode made of InGaAsP-InP. The diode is monolithically integrated with a wavelength-selective coupled-ring reflector and semiconductor amplifiers. For realization of a compact size device, deeply etched multi-mode interference couplers and square ring resonators composed of total-internal-reflection mirrors are adopted and fabricated using a self-aligned process. It is demonstrated that the laser diode exhibits single mode operation and 16 nm tuning range with side-mode-suppression-ratio exceeding 20 dB.

본 논문에서는 테이블 형이 아닌 스탠드형 테이블 탑 디스플레이에 대한 연구를 다루고 있다. 스크린에 대한 터치를 인식으로 입력을 받아들이므로 TouchFace III 라고 명명하고 있으며, 기존에 개발되었던 두 대의 테이블 탑 디스플레이와는 형태에서 차별을 두고 있다. TouchFace III 시스템은 FTIR(Frustrated Total Internal Reflection : 내부 전반사 장애 현상) 방식이 아닌 TouchLight방식과 HoloWall방식을 조합하여 시스템을 구성하였다. 그래서 스크린에서의 직접적인 손터치 뿐만 아니라, 스크린에 반사되는 손형상에 대한 제스처까지도 인식할 수 있도록 연구중에 있다. 이는 협업을 강조하는 테이블 탑 디스플레이의 컨셉에 어울리며 한 디바이스를 이용하여 동시에 여러사용자가 디바이스를 조작하는 것을 가능하게 한다.
