Ronchi test is an optical test to check the quality of an imaging system. Wavefront of the optical system can be obtained from the Ronchi patterns. In this poster, we present the Ronchi test module and the optical quality evaluation results. The test module consists of a light source, a pinhole, a beam splitter, a Ronchi ruling and a flat mirror. The test module can be simply adapted to any optical systems. We compare measured surface data for both aluminum and glass parabolic mirrors by analyzing the Ronchi patterns.

This paper presents the development process for a high-power diode laser for metal surface hardening. To combine the emissions from several laser bars, it is necessary to collimate the emitted light using an optical lens. Thus, to achieve a suitable power density and uniform beam profile, several optical layouts were proposed. To estimate the laser beam for a flat-top distribution, a numerical analysis was performed using the ZEMAX software, and the results were compared with the experimental results. With a focal lens assembled in a serial diode stack source, the design can utilize the advantage of compacting the overall beam size. Experimental results for a robotic system demonstrated the processing ability of this diode laser module in industrial laser hardening.

A lamp which is currently employed to LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) Backlight is almost CCFL(Cold Cathod Fluorescent Lamp) and EEFL(External Electrode Fluorescent Lamp). However, the use of these lamps is being restricted as RoHS(the Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment) regulation is gradually reinforced. According to this situation, the manufacturing of a lamp which doesn't use mercury is unescapable. Moreover, LCD TV has a defect which take place Motion Blur phenomenon due to response time of LC(Liquid Crystal), and Hold-type characteristic which only exists in LCD differently to CRT, PDP. In this paper, an inverter is proposed to drive a plane light source lamp which is not containing mercury. Driving circuit of proposed inverter is simple because the number of semiconductor device and magnetic device is reduced by using forward topology. Also, Motion Blur phenomenon is decreased by dividing the plane light source lamp to six block along vertical direction, and scanning. Finally, we proved usefulness of proposed inverter through experiment.

In order to accurately perform multispectral imaging using a multiplexed illumination, intensity of illumination in a scene must be uniform. For image acquisition that requires accurate color information, even if not multispectral imaging, the illumination information must be accurate, and a flat light source or illumination calibration is performed for accurate illumination characteristics. In this paper, we propose a method of color correction to uniformly illuminate an image with non-uniform illumination intensity. The proposed method uses multispectral imaging instead of illumination calibration for color correction. First of all, we perform multispectral imaging with two images obtained from non-uniformity illumination to acquire spectral reflectance. The obtained reflection spectrum is relit as the illumination characteristic of the image obtained from general planar light such as fluorescent light or sunlight. By comparing the image obtained by relighting with the uniformly illuminated image, the non-uniformity of the illumination is confirmed, and the color correction is performed as the image obtained from the uniform image. It is expected that the experimental results will confirm whether the non-uniformity of the illumination is uniformly corrected and reduce the restriction of illumination in obtaining the color information of the image.

The components and alignment parameters of a flat-field soft x-ray spectrometer used in the wavelength range below 50 $\AA$ are determined, and the characteristics of the spectrometer are analyzed. It consists of a toroidal mirror, a slit, a varied line-spacing concave grating, and a soft x-ray detector. The space-resolved spectral image of a source is formed on a single plane using the tordidal mirror and the 2400-grooves/mm varied line-spacing concave grating. The former is used to compensate for the astigmatism caused by the grazing incidence of soft x-ray light on the concave grating. The spectral and spatial resolutions of the spectrometer are calculated by applying the wave front aberration theory, and the diffraction efficiency is calculated by applying the scalar diffraction theory.

The aim of this research is development and verification of resistivity seismic dilatometer (RSDMT) system. The resistivity module for obtaining resistivity-depth plot and seismic module for obtaining wave velocity-depth plot are attached to the conventional flat dilatometer testing equipment. To enhance reliability and repeatability of seismic part in RSDMT, automatic testing system including automatic surface source, PC based data acquisition system and operating program were developed. To obtain real resistivity value of soil, geometric factor for the array of electrodes in RSDMT was derived empirically. The verification studies for the developed RSDMT system were performed at the southeast side of Korea where soil improvement work is planned. SPT, CPT, geophysical subsurface imaging techniques and some laboratory tests were performed for the comparisons. As one penetration of RSDMT, various soil parameters could be obtained. The results of field test showed good repeatability and reliability in every part. From these studies, developed RSDMT system was checked and the effectiveness of this system was verified in light of proper evaluation of geotechnical characteristics of soft soil.

최근에 정부의 "15/30 LED조명 보급정책"에 힘입어 개발된 8W급 조명용 LED광원의 CIE 색도좌표 (chromaticity coordinate)와 주파장(dominant wavelength)등을 측정 고찰 하였다. 적색(R), 녹색(G), 청색(B), 백색(W)순으로 주파장은 각각 620[nm], 531[nm], 465[nm], 579[nm]이고, 자극순도(excitation purity)는 0.98, 0.82, 0.97, 0.15이며, 휘도순도(colorimetric putity)는 45[%], 16[%], 279[%], 6[%]로 나타났다. Power LED의 최적배치 설계로서, 특히 백색 LED광원의 경우 백열전구(15 lm/W)에 비해 3배 이상의 높은 효율(47.71m/W)을 보였고, 배광측정에서는 78.7%의 효율로 나타났다. 현재 LED광원은 MR16이나 베이스 타입 등의 형태로 제작하여 스탠드, 복도등, 비상유도등, 침실용 등의 용도에 사용되고, 일부는 LED의 원형이나 면(flat)타입으로 가로등이나 투광등으로도 활용되고 있다. 따라서 이들에 대한 각각의 특성들을 제시해 둘 필요성인 인지되어 국내 최초로 개발된 R/G/B/W 8W급 LED광원에 대한 기본적인 광특성 결과를 얻었으며, 이중에서 HB 백색 LED램프의 색도좌표 값을 얻어 CIE표준광과의 색도좌표(x, y) 위치를 비교 검토할 수 가 있었다.

In this study, we proposed a method for surface profiling aspheric lens molds using a precision displacement sensor with a spatial scanning mechanism. The precision displacement sensor is based on the confocal principle using a broadband light source, providing a 10 nm resolution over a 0.3 mm measurable range. The precision of the sensor, depending on surface slope, was evaluated via Allan deviation analysis. We then developed an automatic surface profiling system by measuring the cross-sectional profile of a lens mold. The precision of the sensor at the flat surface was 10 nm at 10 ms averaging time, while 200 ms averaging time was needed for identical precision at the steepest slope at 25 deg. When we compared the measurement result of the lens mold to a commercial surface profiler, we found that the accuracy of the developed system was less than 90 nm (in terms of 3 sigmas of error) between the two results.

The 2.0 GeV Pohang Light Source (PLS) is consisted of a full energy Linac and a storage ring. Four kicker magnets are installed in the storage ring tunnel to move the stored beam orbit in the storage ring closer to the injected beam from the beam transfer line. The injected beam then falls into the storage ring beam dynamic aperture. A kicker magnet modulator drives all four kicker magnets to maintain field balance and also synchronized kick of the beam. The kicker modulator can handle 2 GeV full energy beam. The kicker magnet modulator is installed in the storage ring tunnel and under stable operation. Specification of the kicker magnet modulator is ${\sim}6.0{\mu}s$ pulse-width, 200 ns flat-top width with ${\pm}0.2%$ regulation, ${\sim}24\;kA$ peak current, and 10 Hz repetition rate. Two thyratron switches (EEV CX-1536AX) are used in the system. In this article, design, and experimental results of the kicker magnet modulator are discussed.

The setup of the moir$\acute{e}$ deflectometry using the virtual grating was done, so the convergence and divergence of a pencil of ray was determined. The light source was He-Ne laser(3mW). The focal length of the first lens, the second lens being 18 mm, 250 mm respectively was used for the setup of the beam expander. The optics of the moir$\acute{e}$ deflectometry determining the vergence was used a diffraction grating(pitch = $1.6{\mu}m/line$) and a front flat reflection mirror. The effective focal length of the trial lens set was measured and compared with the theoretical value.
