Since the recent slowdown in the smartphone market, studies for wearable devices are briskly being carried out to find new markets, such as virtual reality devices. In this paper, a head-mounted display (HMD) which provides expanded virtual images before human eyes by enlarging images of a small display was designed, and the tolerance analysis method for a focus-adjustable HMD based on afocal optical systems was studied. There are two types of HMDs: a see-through type that allows the user to view the surroundings, and a see-close type where the user can only view the display screen; the former is used in this study. While designing the system, we allowed a lens within the system to be shifted to adjust its focus from +1 to -4 D (diopters). The yield of the designed systems was calculated by taking the worst-case scenario of a uniform distribution into account. Additionally, a longitudinal aberration was used rather than MTF for the tolerance analysis with respect to system performance. The sensitivity of the designed system was calculated by assigning a certain tolerance, and the focus lens shift was calculated to adjust the image surface variations resulting from the tolerance. The smaller the tolerance, the more expensive the unit price of the products. Very small tolerances may even be impossible to fabricate. Considering this, the appropriate tolerance was assigned; the maximum shift of the focus lens in which the image surface can be adjusted was obtained to find the changes in aberration and a good yield.

깊이 추정은 로봇 비전, 3차원 영상, 모션 제어를 위해 사용되는 매우 중요한 인자이다. 깊이 추정은 렌즈와 물체 사이의 거리를 변화시켜가면서 취득된 일련의 영상에서 계산된 초점 정보에 기반을 둔다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 초점정보를 이용한 패턴간의 상대적 깊이 추정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 거리별로 취득된 영상의 초점값 정보를 이용하여 구현하였으며, 깊이는 두 패턴의 상대적 거리를 고려함으로써 추정하였다. 다양한 영상정보를 이용하여 깊이 추정을 수행한 결과 효과적인 추정이 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

무한물점으로 취급하는 카메라 광학계의 경우, 자동초점(auto-focus) 속도를 빠르게 하기 위해 기존 광학계와 다른 형태로 광학설계를 하게 된다. 이 때문에 군의 개수가 늘어나므로, 기존의 해석적인 방법으로는 궤적 계산이 어렵고, 또한 수치해석적인 방법은 시간이 많이 걸리는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 각 군을 스플라인 보간을 한 뒤, 주어진 뒤정점초점거리와 유효초점거리를 만족하도록 1개 또는 2개 군의 이동량을 해석적으로 구해 줌 궤적을 계산하는 해석적인 방법을 제안하고 이를 유도한다. 이 방법은 무한물점용 줌 렌즈 광학계에서 군수의 제한 없이 모든 광학계에 대해 반복적인 계산없이 해석적인 궤적을 구할 수 있으며, 다양한 예제를 통하여 그 효용성을 보였다.

Since J.B.Pendry proposed the concept of "perfect lens" there have been many researches which focus electric fields. However they used 1 dimensional lens. In contrast, this paper suggests 2 dimensional lens calculated from angular-spectrum method. 2-dimensional focusing is achieved in nearfield. This result implies that the proposed lens can be used for wireless power transfer, imaging system, and sensing systems.

본 연구에서는 4매의 렌즈로 해상도와 왜곡을 최적화한 렌즈 설계이다. 컴팩트한 광학계를 얻기 위해서 retrofocus 형태의 광학계 대신에 (+)굴절능과 (-)굴절능으로 조합된 telephoto 형태로 구성하였다. 이미지 센서 렌즈계의 설계 사양은 초점거리 8.3mm, F/# 2.8, 그리고 화각은 $54.7^{\circ}$였다. MTF 값은 설계된 물체 높이의 경우 110 lp/mm의 공간주파수에서 0.57 이상으로 나타났다. 설계된 렌즈계는 디지털 스틸 카메라용 광학계에서 요구되는 성능을 충분히 만족하며, 특히 렌즈설계의 간단한 프로파일 특성 때문에 컴팩트한 디지털 카메라와 저비용 설계에 적합하다.

This study presents the compact zoom lens with a zoom ratio of 5x for a mobile camera by using a prism. The lens modules and aberrations are applied to the initial design for a four-group inner-focus zoom system. An initial design with a focal length range of 4.4 to 22.0 mm is derived by assigning the first-order quantities and third-order aberrations to each module along with the constraints required for optimum solutions. We separately designed a real lens for each group and then combined them to establish an actual zoom system. The combination of the separately designed groups results in a system that satisfies the basic properties of the zoom system consisting of the original lens modules. In order to have a slim system, we directly inserted the right-angle prism in front of the first group. This configuration resulted in a more compact zoom system with a depth of 8 mm. The finally designed zoom lens has an f-number of 3.5 to 4.5 and is expected to fulfill the requirements for a slim mobile zoom camera having high zoom ratio of 5x.

Recently, the number of camera companies that produce commercializing interchangeable lens systems such as digital single lens reflex (DSLR) and compact system camera (CSC) lenses has been gradually increasing. These interchangeable lenses have various kinds of lenses with distinct specifications. In particular, the distance window among these specifications is the function most preferred by customers. Mechanical manual zoom and manual focus in these high end camera lenses with a distance window are in particular desirable specifications and are required for product quality. However, the AF lens group is linked to the zoom cam and moves. Because the AF lens group moves along with the object distance, we can not realize the distance window with only zoom locus calculation. In this paper, in order to solve the problem, we suggest an optical calculation method for a corrected AF zoom cam for an interchangeable lens with a distance window to achieve product differentiation and analyze the error in the calculation.

플로팅 광학계는 초점 맞춤 시, 2개 이상의 군이 움직이는 광학계를 의미한다. 카메라 광학계에서는 매크로 렌즈와 같이 배율 변화가 큰 광학계에 주로 채용된다. 플로팅 광학계도 가공 및 조립 오차로 인해 무한대단 및 매크로단의 초점위치가 촬상소자의 결상면과 일치하지 않는다. 그러므로 제조공정상에서 이러한 BWD(Back Working Distance) 차이를 최소화하는 초점 조정을 해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 플로팅 광학계의 각 군들의 이동량을 결정하기 위하여 초점 조정에 필요한 캠 회전각을 계산하고, 초점조정에 따른 플로팅 광학계의 최대 배율도 보정하는 수치해석 방법을 제안하였다. 그리고 이를 이용하여 대칭형 공차를 갖는 플로팅 광학계의 제조 오차를 고려한 초점 조정에 필요한 캠 회전각의 분포를 통계학적으로 계산하여 캠 회전각의 허용 범위를 결정하는 방법도 제안하였다.

We have proposed a metamaterial lens that enables sub-wavelength focusing, which is shorter than an operating wavelength. Our lens is a two dimensional array of a unit cell consisting of a metallic dual-plate printed on a dielectric substrate. The unique dual-plate structure provides negativeness both in permittivity and permeability, with no help from conventional additional structures, which are normally printed on the opposite of metallic patterns. Therefore, we can focus a source (or an image) in a tiny distance shorter than the free space wavelength (${\lambda}$) at the frequencies of interest. Furthermore, since the proposed geometry does not need separate supplementary structures to acquire negative permittivity or permeability, our lens is much simpler than conventional metamaterial lenses, which is a strong point in practical applications. We have validated sub-wavelength focusing ability in a 6 GHz frequency band through an experiment of near field scanning, which provided the width of about 0.19 ${\lambda}$ at a half maximum of a peak value of an measured image. The width of the focused image through the lens is more than 4 times shorter than that without the lens, which confirms the validity of our design approach.
