  • A multi-user autostereoscopic display based on laser scanning is described in this paper. It does not require the wearing of special glasses; it can provide 3D to several viewers who have a large degree of freedom of movement; and it requires the display of only a minimum amount of information. The display operates by providing regions in the viewing field, referred to as "exit pupils," which follow the positions of the viewers' eyes under the control of a multi-user head tracker. The display incorporates an RGB laser illumination source that illuminates a light engine. The light directions are controlled by a spatial light modulator, and a front screen assembly incorporates a novel Gabor superlens. Its operating principle is explained in this paper, as is the construction of three iterations of the display. Finally, a method of developing the display into one that is suitable for television applications is described.

  • An automatic measuring system of three dimensional shape by a projection method with grating pattern from in optical spatial modulator has been developed. The characteristics of the system were studied. This system is composed of a projector, an optical spatial modulator, a CCD camera, and computer. A liquid crystal is used as the optical spatial modulator. The grating patterns that ire projected on the surface of the object are controlled by the computer connected with the optical spatial modulator. The projector patterns are measured by the CCD camera. The data are transferred to the computer. After a transformation into line data, the data are analyzed to obtain the coordinate of the surface of the object. This system has advantages as follows. (1) It is possible to capture the surface topography without any contact. (2) The time required for the measurements is shorter than the light-section method. (3) An optical spatial modulator using a liquid crystal is possible to control the grating patterns accurately by a computer. Surfaces of a plate and a cylinder were measured. The threshold level had an influence on the measurement. It was shown that this system has adequae accuracy in the measurements.

  • Dynamic free-space optical interconnection system is experimented by a holographic crossbar with single-state switching architecture. For dynamic operation, electrically addressed liquid-crystal spatial light modulator and diffraction gratings are used in place of passive holograms of matrix-matrix crossbar. Diffraction gratings are consisted of regular cells which have different phase delays. This pixelated phase grating array displayed on SLM(Spatial Light modulator) deflects an input beam toward a wanted direction or splits an input beam into many beams and then steers them to desired positions. Through the experimental results, free-space optical interconnection is dynamically perfomed using a computer, SLM and phase diffraction gratings.

  • An optical digital parallel processor using Self-Pumped Phase Conjugate Mirror and liquid crystal spatial light modulator is presented and experimentally implemented. To use self-pumped PCM as memory, the mechanism for phase conjugation in two coupled interaction regions with the photorefractive crystal BaTiO$_{3}$ is investigated, especially the temporal behavior and effects of incident beam position. The optical design and implementation of matrix-vector multiplication using LCSLM and PCM memory is presented.

  • Parallel femtosecond laser processing using a computer-generated hologram (CGH) displayed on a liquid crystal spatial light modulator (LCSLM) is demonstrated. The use of the LCSLM enables to perform an arbitrary and variable patterning. This holographic femtosecond laser processing has advantages of high throughput and high light-use efficiency. A critical issue is to precisely control the intensities of the diffraction peaks of the CGH. We demonstrate some methods for the control of the diffraction peaks. We also demonstrate the laser processing with two-dimensional and three-dimensional parallelism.

  • 광통신 시스템에는 다양한 광소자들이 삽입되어 사용된다. 특히 보다 많은 정보의 전송을 위하여 WBM 소자들이 흔히 사용되고 있다. 이와 같이 data 처리용량 및 속도 증가에 대응하기 위한 광섬유의 개발이 활발하게 연구되고 있으며 data 전송용량이 증가되면 channel 파장 대역폭이 좁아지게 되고 전송 속도가 증가되면 색분산 등 광섬유의 비선형성에 의한 영향이 크게 나타나게 된다. 또한 장거리 통신망 등에서는 온도 변화에 의해 분산 기울기 변화가 전송 제한 요인이 된다. (중략)

  • In this thesis, an optical bidirectional inner-product associative memory model using liquid crystal television is proposed and analyzed theoretically and realized experimentally. The LCTV is used as a SLM(spatial light modulator), which is more practical than conventional SLMs, to produce image vector in terms of computer and CCD camera. Memory and input vectors are recorded into each LCTV through the video input connectors of it by using the image board. Two multi-focus hololenses are constructed in order to perform optical inner-product process. In forward process, the analog values of inner-products are measured by photodetectors and are converted to digital values which are enable to control the weighting values of the stored vectors by changing the gray levels of the pixels of the LCTV. In backward process, changed stored vectors are used to produce output image vector which is used again for input vector after thresholding. After some iterations, one of the stored vectors is retrieved which is most similar to input vector in other words, has the nearest hamming distance. The experimental results show that the proposed inner-product associative memory model can be realized optically and coincide well with the computer simulation.
