본논문에서는 구면수차가 포함된 광학 디스크 시스템에 환형 위상변조 apodizer를 적용하여 bump 형태에 따른 재생신호를 스칼라 회절 이론을 이용하여 조사하였다. 이때 구면수차의 영향을 최소로 하는 최적변수를 결정하기 위해 동(pupil)의 반경 r에 대한 파면수차량에 절대값을 취해서 얻는 최대치와 임의의 값의 비로 W$_{R}$을 정의하였으며 원추형과 준원추형 그리고 원추형 bump로 다양한 형태의 bump를 고려하였다. 환형 위상변조 apodizer는 bump 반경과 형태의 변화에 따른 재생신호가 균일한 진폭과 유사한 경향을 나타냈으며 항상높은 최대재생신호를 가졌다. 구면수차의 증가에 따른 최대재생신호의 변화는 아주 작았으며 실제 광학 디시크 시스템에 사용 가능한 0.6 이상의 재생신호를 갖는 신호 bump 반경의 변화가 거의 없었다. 특히 $W_R$ 이 0.4와 0.6인 경우에는 구면수차에 대한 보정효과가 가장 큼을 알 수 있었다.

Wavefront sensing using a Shack-Hartmann sensor has been widely used for estimating wavefront errors or distortions. The sensor combines the local slopes, which are estimated from the centroids of each lenslet image, to give the overall wavefront reconstruction. It was previously shown that the pupil-plane irradiance profile effects the centroid estimation. Furthermore, a previous study reported that the reconstructed wavefront from a planar wavefront with a Gaussian pupil irradiance profile contains large focus and spherical aberration terms when there is a focus error. However, it has not been reported yet how seriously the pupil irradiance profiles, which can occur in practical applications, effect the sensing errors. This paper considered two cases when the irradiance profiles are not uniform: 1) when the light source is Gaussian and 2) when there is a partial interference due to a double reflection by a beam splitting element. The images formed by a Shack-Hartmann sensor were simulated through fast Fourier transform and were then supposed to be detected by a noiseless CCD camera. The simulations found that sensing errors, due to the Gaussian irradiance profile and the partial interference, were found to be smaller than RMS ${\lambda}/50$ when ${\lambda}$ is $0.6328\;{\mu}m$, which can be ignored in most practical cases where the reference and test beams have the same irradiance profiles.

To account for the internal thermal effects of solid-state lasers, a method using a back propagation (BP) neural network integrated with a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is developed, which is a new wavefront distortion correction technique. In particular, by using a slab laser model, a series of fiber pumped sources are employed to form a controlled array to pump the gain medium, allowing the internal temperature field of the gain medium to be designed by altering the power of each pump source. Furthermore, the BP artificial neural network is employed to construct a nonlinear mapping relationship between the power matrix of the pump array and the thermally induced wavefront aberration. Lastly, the suppression of thermally induced wavefront distortion can be achieved by changing the power matrix of the pump array and obtaining the optimal pump light intensity distribution combined using the PSO algorithm. The minimal beam quality β can be obtained by optimally distributing the pumping light. Compared with the method of designing uniform pumping light into the gain medium, the theoretically computed single pass beam quality β value is optimized from 5.34 to 1.28. In this numerical analysis, experiments are conducted to validate the relationship between the thermally generated wavefront and certain pumping light distributions.

Optical systems often suffer from optical aberrations caused by imperfect hardware, which places significant constraints on their utility and performance. To reduce these undesirable effects, a comprehensive understanding of the aberrations inherent to optical systems is needed. This article presents an effective method for aberration detection using Zernike polynomials. The process involves scanning the object plane to identify the optimal focus and subsequently fitting the acquired focus data to Zernike polynomials. This fitting procedure facilitates the analysis of various aberrations in the optical system.

In this paper, we propose novel optics design for media inside near-field recording (NFR) using hemispherical solid immersion lens (HMS). To obtain strong advantage of data protection and high data capacity simultaneously, HMS based near field optics using aplanatic position of super hemisphere is designed. In this design, to improve small optical tolerance of this aplanatic position, additional aspheric lens surface is added on top of the HMS and it is combined with zoom optics which composed of two single lenses having low numerical aperture (NA). Also, to compensate chromatic aberration which happens seriously in optics using blue laser diode, diffractive optical element is used. Using zoom optics, additional aspheric lens surface, and diffractive optical element together, wavefront aberration and chromatic aberration are effectively reduced in broad range of cover layer thickness and wavelength variation. In addition, In this paper, effect of gap induced aberration is investigated by analyzing different behavior of each TM and TE wave for designed media inside dual-layer NFR optics.

The lateral-shearing interferometer specially devised for production line inspection lenses is presented. The interferometer is composed with immersion oil and four prisms whose relative sliding motion provide lateral-shearing and phase-shifting. A special phase-measuring algorithm of a-bucket is adopted to compensate the phase-shifting error caused by the thickness reduction in the immersion oil Three different algorithm for determinating quantitative aberration of aspherical lenses are presented and compared with one another.

본 논문에서는 비축 포물 거울을 통과한 레이저 빔의 파면을 측정하는 방식으로 국내 및 국외에서 제작된 비축 포물 거울을 평가하였으며, 이로부터 비축 포물 거울의 집속 성능 및 정렬 민감도를 측정하였다. 국외에서 제작된 비축 포물 거울은 직경 약 34 mm의 레이저 빔에 대해 고차 파면 수차(higher-order aberration)의 rms 값이 $0.03{\mu}m$ 정도로 작아 광학적으로 좋은 품질을 갖는 것으로 판명되었다. 국내에서 제작된 비축 포물 거울은 같은 34 mm의 레이저 빔에 대해 고차 파면 수차의 rms 값이 $2.01{\mu}m$나 관측되어 아직 개선이 필요한 것으로 보인다. 또한, 비축 포물 거울의 회전 정렬 오차에 대한 비점수차(astigmatism)의 민감도를 측정한 결과 회전 정렬 오차에 대한 비점수차의 민감도는 $0.371{\mu}m/mrad$인 것으로 관측되었다. 이는 광선 추적 소프트웨어를 사용하여 계산한 값과 거의 같은 양으로 이러한 비점수차의 정렬 민감도 측정은 비축 포물 거울을 정렬하는데 도움을 줄 것으로 생각된다.

An unobstructed off-axis two-mirror system is presented in this paper. First a suitable initial configuration is established based on third-order aberration theory. In order to achieve a wide field of view (FOV) with high image quality , the diffractive mirror is adopted in the two-mirror system to increase the optimization freedom and the aberration relationship between diffractive phase coefficients and Zernike coefficients is derived. Furthermore, a complete comparison design example with a focal length of 1200 mm, F-number of 12, and FOV of 40° × 2° is given to verify the aberration correction ability of the diffractive mirror. The system average wavefront error is 0.007 λ (λ=0.6328 μm) developed from 0.061 λ when the system didn’t adopt the diffractive mirror. In this system the phase modulation function of the diffractive mirror is established as an even function of x, so we could obtain a symmetrical imaging quality about the tangential plane, and the symmetric aberration performance also brings considerable convenience to alignment and testing for the system.

목적 : 비구면 디자인의 소프트 콘택트렌즈 ASCL(aspheric soft contact lens)로 굴절교정을 한 젊은 성인 근시안에서 콘택트렌즈 착용 후 안구의 구면수차와 코마수차 변화를 확인하였다. 방법 : 건강한 성인 근시안 50명(평균 연령: $23.15{\pm}1.70$세, 평균 등가구면굴절력: $-2.90{\pm}1.75D$)을 대상으로 굴절교정용 ASCL(Biotrue, Bausch+Lomb, USA)을 착용시킨 후 검사실의 조도 100 lx에서 고위수차와 동공크기를 측정하였다. 고위수차는 Wavefront Analyzer를 사용하여 동공크기 4 mm 영역에서 측정하였고, 동공크기는 Pupillometer를 이용하여 3.5 m 거리의 물체를 주시하도록 한 후 암소시(scotopic condition, light off) 상태에서 측정하였다. 결과 : 20대 근시안의 구면수차와 코마수차는 $0.026{\pm}0.031{\mu}m$, $0.078{\pm}0.039{\mu}m$, ASCL 착용 후에는 $0.019{\pm}0.026{\mu}m$ and $0.082{\pm}0.038{\mu}m$로 구면수차는 감소하고 코마수차는 유의하게 증가하였다. 대상안 중 구면수차가 감소한 경우는 전체의 68%로 양의 구면수차를 갖는 대상안에서 감소하였고, 증가한 경우는 11%로 음의 구면수차를 갖는 대상안에서 증가하였다. 코마수차는 대상안의 53%에서 증가하였고 19%에서는 변함이 없었으며 28%에서 감소하였다. 약도 및 중등도 근시안에서 구면수차는 근시도와 상관성이 없었고, 코마수차는 근시도가 높을수록 큰 것으로 나타났다. 결론 : 조절자극이 없는 암소시 상태에서 ASCL 착용 후 안구의 구면수차는 양의 값을 갖는 경우에는 감소하지만 음의 값을 갖는 경우에는 증가하였고, 이는 ASCL 디자인과 동공크기가 영향을 준 것으로 생각된다.
