Current instrumentation activities and the open user status of Okayama Astrophysical Observatory (OAO) are reviewed. There are two telescopes in operation and one telescope under reforming at OAO. The 188cm telescope is provided for open use for more than 200 nights in a year. The typical over-subscription rate of observation proposals for the 188cm telescope is ${\~}$ 1.5 - 2. The 50cm telescope is dedicated to $\gamma$-ray burst optical follow-up observation and is operated in collaboration with Tokyo Institute of Technology. The 91cm telescope will become a new very wide field near-infrared camera in two years. The high-dispersion echelle spectrograph (HIDES) is the current primary instrument for the open use of the 188cm telescope. Two new instruments, an infrared multi-purpose camera (ISLE) and an optical low-dispersion spectrograph (KOOLS), are now under development. They will be open as common use instruments in 2006.

Thermal characterization of individual pixels in microbolometer infrared image sensors is needed for optimal design and improved performance. In this work, we used thermoreflectance microscopy on uncooled microbolometer image sensors to investigate the thermal characteristics of individual pixels. Two types of microbolometer image sensors with a shared-anchor structure were fabricated and thermally characterized at various biases and vacuum levels by measuring the temperature distribution on the surface of the microbolometers. The results show that thermoreflectance microscopy can be a useful thermal characterization tool for microbolometer image sensors.

본 논문에서는 비접촉 비파괴검사에 사용되는 적외선열화상카메라의 응답 및 노이즈 특성을 평가할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고 있으며 차동모드흑체의 적외선 표적과 그 주변의 온도차 ${\Delta}$T를 이용하여 상용 적외선열화상카메라의 신호전달함수 및 온도분해능을 구하고 그 결과를 카메라 사양과 비교함으로써 본 평가 방법의 적합성을 검증하였다. 또한 비균일성 보정의 적용 유무로부터 나타나는 온도분해능의 차이 0.01 K을 통하여 적외선열화상카메라의 성능평가에 있어서 비균일성 보정이 필수적인 과정임을 확인하였다.

A pyroelectric sensor using $PbTiO_3$/P(VDF/TrFE) nanocomposites thin film for sensing materials has been fabricated and evaluated with other commercial pyroelectric sensors that use ceramic materials for sensing. The device was mounted in a TO-5 housing to detect infrared light of 5.5 ~ 14 ${\mu}m$ wavelength. The NEP (noise equivalent power) and specific detectivity D of the device were 1.30 ${\times}$ $10^{-8}$W and 1.53 ${\times}$ $10^7$cm /W respectively under emission energy of 13 ${\mu}$W/c$m^2$ respectively. This result shows a better characteristic than the other commercial pyroelectric infrared sensors.

In this paper, the details and design process of an optical system for space target detection cameras are introduced. The whole system is divided into three structures. The first structure is a short-focus visible light system for rough detection in a large field of view. The field of view is 2°, the effective focal length is 1,125 mm, and the F-number is 3.83. The second structure is a telephoto visible light system for precise detection in a small field of view. The field of view is 1°, the effective focal length is 2,300 mm, and the F-number is 7.67. The third structure is an infrared light detection system. The field of view is 2°, the effective focal length is 390 mm, and the F-number is 1.3. The visible long-focus narrow field of view and visible short-focus wide field of view are switched through a turning mirror. Design results show that the modulation transfer functions of the three structures of the system are close to the diffraction limit. It can further be seen that the short-focus wide-field-of-view distortion is controlled within 0.1%, the long-focus narrow-field-of-view distortion within 0.5%, and the infrared subsystem distortion within 0.2%. The imaging effect is good and the purpose of the design is achieved.

본 논문에서는 저온-진공 흑체시스템의 설계 및 구성과 함께 흑체시스템의 수학 모델을 이용한 열해석 평가 방법과 그 결과를 제시하였으며 적외선 카메라를 이용한 흑체시스템의 평가 방안 및 결과를 명시하였다. 개발된 흑체시스템은 기존의 시스템에 비해 상대적으로 규모가 소형이며 273 K이하의 저온에서 수증기가 응결될 수 있는 현상을 방지하기 위하여 흑체시스템 내부를 진공 ($2.67{\times}10^{-2}$ Pa) 상태로 유지되도록 제작되었다. 또한 흑체시스템 내부의 열손실로 인한 성능 저하를 막기 위하여 radiator가 설치되는 부위에는 heat sink, heat shield 및 cold shield를 설계하였다. 흑체시스템의 수학 모델에 대한 열 해석을 위해서 변형된 스테판-볼츠만의 정리를 이용하여 radiator의 성능을 검증하였고 실제 흑체시스템에서 방사되는 적외선 신호에 대해서는 적외선 카메라를 이용하여 신호전달함수 및 온도분해능을 측정, 분석하였다. 제안된 설계와 해석 및 실험 결과에 근거하여, 개발된 저온-진공 흑체시스템은 적용온도범위인 268~333 K 구간에서 적외선 측정장치의 캘리브레이션을 위한 기준장치로서 성능이 안정적이고 적용이 적합한 것으로 확인되었다.

현대 산업사회가 발달함에 따라 대기오염이 사회적 문제로 대두되고 있다. 특히 미세먼지에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있고 미세먼지를 측정하기 위해 여러 종류의 센서가 사용되고 있다. 이 중 가장 보편적으로 사용되는 적외선 미세먼지 센서는 적외선 송, 수신기를 통해 빛의 회절을 탐지하여 공기 중의 먼지에 의해 반사되는 빛을 감지하는 방식으로 동작한다. 하지만 이런 방식은 계측 시 잡음으로 인한 편차가 발생하여 정확한 데이터 분석이 어려운 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 본 논문에서는 FIR(Finite Impulse Response) 필터의 저역통과필터 알고리즘을 적용하여 구현하였다.

Single Point Diamond Turning (SPDT) is a cost-effective technique to fabricate metallic mirrors. In particular, the servo-assisted diamond turning option is highly useful for the fabrication of freeform surfaces. However, the SPDT process leaves periodic tool marks on machined mirror surfaces, leading to undesirable diffraction effect, as well as the deviation of input beam. In order to solve this problem, we propose new SPDT machining conditions to minimize tool marks. We will also show the results from optical measurement and Power Spectral Density (PSD) analysis to evaluate the expectable performance for applications in wide field infrared telescopes.

Over its 30-year lifetime, UKIRT has been the world's leading telescope devoted exclusively to observations in the infrared. Its outstanding success over this period is attributable to a number of factors, foremost among which are the size (3.6m) and high quality of the mirror, the excellent site at the summit of Mauna Kea, and the deployment of unique, world-beating instrumentation. In recent years, as the UK has re-directed its investment in astronomical facilities towards ESO, UKIRT has focussed on wide-field imaging in the near infrared, and we are currently conducting a definitive programme known as the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS). In this presentation I will describe UKIRT's current capabilities, its evolving operation, opportunities for Korean participation, and possibilities for its future development.
