Dichroic beam-splitter (DBS) with polarization-maintaining took an important role in the free space quantum telecommunication tests on the Micius satellite of China. In this presentation, we designed and prepared a 50 layer polarization-maintaining DBS coating by a dual ion beam sputtering deposition (Dual-IBS) method. In order to solve a stress problem, an 18 layer special anti-reflection (AR) coating with similar physical thickness ratio was deposited on the backside. By stress compensation, the surface flatness RMS value of the DBS sample decreased from 0.341 λ (@632.8 nm) to 0.103 λ while beam splitting and polarization maintaining properties were almost kept unchanged. Further, we discussed the mechanism of film stress and stress compensation by equation deduction and found that total stress had a strong relationship with the total physical thickness and the ratio of layer materials.

A high reflectance mirror, which has very low absorption and scattering loss, was coated onto a crystalline substrate by ion beam sputtering and then annealed at $450^{\circ}C$. We carefully selected the mirror coating material, and designed the high reflectance mirror, in order to avoid UV degradation which comes from the He-Ne plasma. We measured the surface roughness of the Zerodur substrate using phase shift interferometry and atomic force microscopy, and compared it with the TIS scattering of the mirror. The cavity ring-down method was used to measure the absorption of the mirror, and the thin film structure was correlated to its results. We also compared the optical properties of coated mirrors before and after annealing.

The laser ablation/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry is applied to the isotopic analysis of solid samples using a home-made instrument. The technique is convenient for solid sample analysis due to the onestep process of vaporization and ionization of the samples. The analyzed samples were lead, cadmium, molybdenum, and ytterbium. To optimize the analytical conditions of the technique, several parameters, such as laser energy, laser wavelength, size of the laser beam on the samples surface, and high voltages applied on the ion source electrodes were varied. Low energy of laser light was necessary to obtain the optimal mass resolution of spectra. The 532 nm light generated mass spectra with the higher signal-to-noise ratio compared with the 355 nm light. The best mass resolution obtained in the present study is ~1,500 for the ytterbium.

We have been developing a new label-free nanobio imaging platform using non-linear optics such as Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Spectroscopy (CARS) and ion beam techniques based on sputtering and scattering such as Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) and Medium Energy Ion Scattering Spectroscopy (MEIS), which have been widely used for atomic and molecular level analysis of semiconductors and nanomaterials. To apply techniques developed for semiconductors and nanomaterials for biomedical applications, the convergence of nano-analysis and biology were tried. Our activities on label-free nanobio imaging during the last decade are summarized in this review about non-linear optical 3D imaging, ellipsometric interface imaging, SIMS imaging, and TOF-MEIS nano analysis for cardiovascular tissues, collagen thin films, peptides on microarray, nanoparticles, and cell adhesion studies and finally the present snapshot of nanobio imaging and the future prospect are described.

본 논문에서는 ITO박막의 면저항과 투과율의 최적 상태를 얻기 위해 이온총에 주입된 Ar:O$_2$혼합비율과 이온빔 발산 각안으로 도입된 $O_2$에 따른 변화를 연구하였다. 기판은 이온빔 발산 각 외부에 위치시켰고, 박막은 상온에서 전자빔으로 증발시킨 ITO와 이온 mixing하여 제작하였다. XRD 측정 결과, 상온에서 제작된 ITO 박막은 모두 비정질이었다. 3$\times$$10^{-5}$ Torr의 산소 분위기에서 이온총에 주입된 Ar:O$_2$비율이 40:60일 때 85%로 가장 높은 투과율을 보였고, 1$\times$$10^{-5}$ Torr에서 Ar:O$_2$비율이 40:60일 때 132 $\Omega$/$\square$ 의 가장 낮은 면 저항을 보였다.

We numerically demonstrate the performance of a plasmonic lens composed of an array of nanoslits perforated on thin metallic film with slanted cuts on the output surface. Embedding Kerr nonlinear material in nanoslits is employed to modulate the output beam. A two dimensional nonlinear-dispersive finite-difference time-domain (2D N-D-FDTD) method is utilized. The performance parameters of the proposed lens such as focal length, full-width half-maximum, depth of focus and the efficiency of focusing are investigated. The structure is illuminated by a TM-polarized plane wave and a Gaussian beam. The effect of the beam waist of the Gaussian beam and the incident light intensity on the focusing effect is explored. An exact formula is proposed to derive electric field E from electric flux density D in a Kerr-Dispersive medium. Surface plasmon (SPs) modes and Fabry-Perot (F-P) resonances are used to explain the physical origin of the light focusing phenomenon. Focused ion beam milling can be implemented to fabricate the proposed lens. It can find valuable potential applications in integrated optics and for tuning purposes.

사출성형법으로 제조된 $fheta$렌즈를 주사렌즈로 상요하는 Laser Scanning Unit의 주주사 및 부주사 방향의 빔경을 측정했다. 주주사 빔경의 경우 $62muextrm{m}$~ $68\mu\textrm{m}$로써 설계치와 유사한 성능을 보이지만 부주사 빔경의 경우 $78\mu\textrm{m}$~$115\mu\textrm{m}$로써 꽤 큰 빔경편차( $37\mu\textrm{m}$)를 나타내었다. 사출성형렌즈에서는 냉각.고화시 수축에 의한 형상오차와 불균일 냉각에 의한 내부왜곡(복굴절)이 발생하게 되는데, 이는 결국 파면수차(빔경확대)를 발생시키게 되고 결국 레이저프린터의 화상열화로 나타나게 된다. 본 논문에서는 부주사 빔경편차의 주요인을 밝혀내기 위해 복굴절(편광비) 및 $f\theta$렌즈의 비구면 형상을 측정하였다. 그리고 측정된 비구면 형상치를 CODE-V(미국 ORA사의 광학설계 프로그램)에 입력하여 부주사 상면만곡을 계산하고, 이와 설계 초점심도를 비교.분석함으로써 복굴절이 부주사 빔경편차의 주요인임을 알 수 있었다.

Recent advances in NLO Borate Crystals for UV Generation are reviewed with the particular emphasis on the technique to improve the life time of UV optics. The laser-damage resistance of CLBO and fused silica surfaces was successfully improved after removing polishing compound by ion beam etching. The polishing compound embedded in the CLBO and fused silica surfaces were to a depth of less than 100nm. We were able to remove polishing compound without degrading the surface condition when the applied ion beam voltage was less than 200 V. The laser-induced surface damage threshold of CLBO was improved up to 15J/$\textrm{cm}^2$(wavelength: 355 nm, pulse width: 0.85 ns)as compared with that of the as-polished surface (11 J/$\textrm{cm}^2$). The laser-induced surface damage of fused silica also increased from 7.5J/$\textrm{cm}^2$ to 15J/$\textrm{cm}^2$. For the irradiation of a 266 nm high-intensity and high-repetition laser light, the surface lifetime of CLBO and fused silica could be more doubled compared with that of the as-polished surface.
