Focused-ion-beam (FIB) system is capable of both machining and measuring in nano-scale; hence nano-scale focusing quality is important. This paper investigates design parameters of two electrostatic lenses in order to achieve the best ion beam focusing performance. Commercial SIMION simulator is used to optimize the dimensions of the condenser and objective lenses and investigate the influence of assembly error on focusing quality The simulation results show that the beam focusing quality is not influenced by angle deviation within ${\pm}0.02\;deg$ and geometrical eccentricity within ${\pm}50$ micrometers.

Though a glass tens has outstanding optical performance, it has not been widely used because manufacturing process shows poor productivity and high cost. However, press-forming method of glass lens overcomes these disadvantages with mass production. When glass lens is produced by press-forming method using closed die, it is needed that the volume of glass lens preform is precisely measured in order to prevent incomplete products and to increase in life of die. The present. paper shows the shortcoming of forming process with closed die, and performs FEM simulation of forming process with open die in order to overcome this shortcoming. The design parameters of open die are selected on the basis of assembly with optical module and maintenance of optical performance. FEM simulation is carried out with selected parameter of open die and two basic preform. According to distribution of effective strain in glass lens, optical property of glass lens formed at each set of die and preform is compared.

For the assembly and evaluation of solid immersion lens (SIL) optical head which is the key component of SIL based near field recording (NFR) technology, we modify the Twyman-Green interferometer. Super-hemisphere SIL optical head for the surface recording is assembled and evaluated by the modified Twyman-Green interferometer. In order to verify the optical performance of the assembled SIL optical head, we compare the measured results of the SIL optical head with the simulation ones. Finally, we show the feasibility of applying the assembled SIL optical head to near field recording system by the experiment of the dynamic gap control based on test bed.

It is very important to analyze effectively the tolerance of an optical system with high resolution as the projection lens of photolithography or as the objective lens of a microscope. We would like to find an effective assembly structure and compensators to correct aberrations through global wavefront sensitivity analysis using Zernike polynomial expansion from the field and pupil coordinates rather than from only pupil coordinates. In this paper, we introduce global wavefront coefficients by small perturbations of the optical system, and analyze the optical performance with these coefficients. From this analysis, it is possible to see how we can enlarge the tolerance through the proper assembly structure and compensators.

Global consumption of aspheric lens will expand rapidly due to golbal transformation of the electronics based industry to optics based mechatronics. Especially, F-Theta lens is one of important parts in Laser Scanning Unit(LSU) because it affects the optical performance of LSU dominantly. Non axisymmetric machine based processing techologies are required to obtain high accuracy in utlra-precision aspheric core, the most important component in plastic injection molded F-Theta lens assembly. In this study, the core with non-axisymmetric aspheric shape which is used to emit the F-Theta lens was processed using the ultra precision processing technology and the shape accuracy of the core was measured. And the results there of were evaluated and compared with the emitted shape accuracy of F-Theta lens.

In this paper, a study is conducted on the design of an optical system of a time-of-flight (TOF) laser distance sensor that can measure long distances by minimizing beam divergence. When measuring a long distance, the amount of light on the object's surface decreases as the distance increases, due to the diffusion angle of the laser beam, and thus the beam at the sensor also decreases, causing measurement errors. In general, a cylindrical lens is used to reduce the divergence beam angle. However, an optical system using a cylindrical lens has the problem of degraded performance due to the difficulty with assembly tolerance, as well as the problem of the increased size of the optical system, and thus the use of aspherical lenses has been increasing recently. Therefore, in this study, the optical efficiencies and assembly tolerances of optical systems using respectively a cylindrical lens and an aspherical lens are compared and analyzed.

This paper presents a hybrid single optical system for an LED surgical light that combines the advantages of both lens- and reflector-type single optical systems. The proposed hybrid single optical system includes a lens in the center and the LED light originating from the lens is redirected using a reflector to achieve a high beam spread. Iterative optical software simulations are used to provide data for the design of the lens and reflector for a single optical system, and for a complex optical system for the LED light assembly. The resulting data is also used to fabricate a prototype system. Experiments using the prototype of the hybrid single optical system and a mock-up LED surgical light confirm the system's shadow dilution performance and its applicability to surgical operations.

A lens system for mobile phone cameras is comprised of various lenses and designed so as to satisfy design requirements for responses such as a modular transfer function (MTF). However, it is difficult to manufacture and assemble camera modules to maintain the same performance compared with the designed camera modules, because of uncertainty. We should always design a lens system by considering uncertainty that can be caused by errors in the manufacturing and assembly process of mobile phone cameras. The robust optimization offers tools of making robust decisions with the consideration of design parameters, uncontrollable parameters, and the variance of the system. Using an efficient reliability analysis method and an optimization algorithm, we obtained robust optimization results that maximize the mean of MTF and minimize the standard deviation and proposed a new robust design process for a lens system.

A silicon lens and an insulator of pyrex, components of a micro-electron column, should be assembled by aligning and stacking simultaneously. An optical alignment of a diffraction beam and a laser welding were employed for the assembly of a source lens and an Einzel lens with precision within $\pm$4% for the maximum aperture size. The experimental condition for optical alignment and laser welding are explained. Anodic bonding was used to assist in stacking lenses. A micro-electron column of smaller apertures assembled with precise alignment and fabrication was tested with a current image of a Cu grid of 9$\mu$m in linewidth, and showed a higher resolution in acceleration mode.
