Two axes lateral-shearing interferometer(LSI) specially devised for production line inspection lenses is presented. The interferometer composed with four prisms and a dove prism can test the lens performance including asymmetric aspheric lens. The dove prism which rotates the input image with respect to optical axis makes it possible. The wavefront passing through the test lens is reconstsucted by the phase derivative obtained form the two axes LSI system. Zernike-polynomials fitting of this wavefront is presented for determinating quantitative aberration of aspherical lenses.

multi-beam optical drive is a method to improve the data transfer rate for the optical disc systems by parallel recording and reading on neighboring multi-tracks. In this paper, the beam rotating actuator, which is necessary for the multi-bean optical disc drive to from beam spots on multi-tracks simultaneously, has been developed. The Voice Coil Motor is used as a drive mechanism for high resolution and small size of the actuator. And rotating guide based on link structure is designed for frictionless and axisless rotation of rotating part including dove prism and for rotating in axis of geometric center of dove prism. The characteristics of the actuator are experimented by laser vibrometer, Polytec OFV1102 and a dynamic analyzer, HP35670A. It shows that the actuator has good linearity, rotating range $\pm0.34^\circ$, minimum rotating angle $0.0066^\circ$and natural frequency 113.9Hz. Therefore the actuator can be applied in a multi-beam optical disc system.

The beam rotating actuator has been developed. It can be utilized to improve the data transfer rate for the optical disk systems, Newly developed laser beam rotating actuator is applied to put multi-beam spots on more than one track on the optical disk simultaneously. The beam rotating actuator is made of piezoelectric ceramic bimorph as the form of cantilever, Piezoelectric actuators with high resolution, high stiffness and fast frequency response are widely assembled in micropositioning applications. Therefore, the actuator has above 50Hz natural frequency. Beam array is rotated using the dove prism in the end of beamrotator. The dynamic equation of beam rotating actuator is derived theoretically. The actuator is designed on the ground of this analysis. The performance of the beam rotating actuator is verified as the dynamics frequency performance is measured using the dynamic analyzer and sensor.

The beam rotating actuator, which can be utilized to improve the data transfer rate for the optical disk systems, has been developed. It can employ a newly developed laser beam rotating actuator for putting multi-beam spots on more than one track on the optical disk simultaneously. Therefore, It has to maintain up to .+-.0.01 .deg. resolution and high bandwidth performance. In this these, the Dove prism is used for the beam rotating actuator based on bimorph piezo material. The performance of the beam rotating actuator is verified since the dynamics ferquency performance is measured using the dynamic analyzer and the attached stain gage sensor. the beam rotating angle performance is also examined since the long range beam reflection character is utilized.

A trepanning optics is the optical system which makes focus laser beam rotate and incline to the material processing surface. The trepanning optics is used in order to improve the quality of laser drilling process and control the taper of drilling diameter. In order to make trepanning optics, we can use the eccentricity of lens, scanner using two mirror, dove prism, or wedge. Among these method, in this paper wedge is used for trepanning optics. The wedge trepanning optics has advantage on the high speed of rotation.

The size of an optical surface can significantly affect the performance of an optical system, and high spatial frequency errors have a greater impact. Therefore, it is crucial to measure the surface figure error with high frequency. To address this, a new method called rotational prism stitching interferometer (RPSI) is proposed in this study. The RPSI is a type of stitching interferometer that enhances spatial resolution, but it differs from conventional stitching interferometers in that it does not require the movement of either the mirror tested or the interferometer itself to obtain sub-aperture interferograms. Instead, the RPSI uses a beam expander and a rotating Dove prism to select particular sub-apertures from the entire aperture. These sub-apertures are then stitched together to obtain a full-aperture result proportional to the square of the beam expander's magnification. The RPSI's effectiveness was demonstrated by measuring a 40 mm diameter spherical mirror using a three-magnification beam expander and comparing the results with those obtained from a commercial interferometer. The RPSI achieved surface testing results with nine times higher sampling density than the interferometer alone, with a small difference of approximately 1 nm RMS.

We made sharp optical fiber tips with less than 100 nm diameter by using the heating and pulling method with a good repetition and fabricated the photon scanning tunneling microscope (PSTM) using constant intensity mode. The 3-dimensional PZT (Piezoelctric transducer) scanner made of a long PZT tube is consisted of three divided parts, that is, a pair of $\pm$ x and a pair of $\pm$y scanning parts and a z scanning part for the fine approach and scanning. The scanning dimension is 1.43 $\mu\textrm{m}$$\times$1.76 $\mu\textrm{m}$. The height of a optical tip to maintain a constant height within $1/{\lambda}_0$ (${\lambda}_0$ is the incident wavelength) from surface of a specimen to a optical tip is controlled automatically by using the electric feedback circuit. The 3-dimensional shape of standing evanescent waves generated on the surface of a dove prism was measured successfully by using the constant intensity mode PSTM.
