  • In near field optics, optical fiber probe is smaller than the wavelength of light. This small probe makes it possible to overcome the diffraction limit due to wave property of light. In conventional optical systems, the image resolution is governed by wavelength. But in NSOM, it is determined by probe tip size and probe shape. Therefore probe tip size and shape are very important points in near field optics. In this paper, we will suggest the new fabrication methods of optical fiber probe and show that the probe tip size is sub-micrometer using SEM.

  • An accurate and efficient evaluation for hypersingular integrals (HIs), strongly singular integrals (SSIs), and weakly singular integrals (WSIs) plays an essential role in the numerical solutions of 3D electromagnetic scattering problems. We derive analytic formulas for WSIs based on Stokes' theorem, which can be expressed in elementary functions. Several numerical examples are presented to validate these analytic formulas. Then, to show the feasibility of the proposed formulations for numerical methods, these formulations are used with the existing analytical expressions of HIs and SSIs to correct the near-field interaction in an iterative physical optics (IPO) scheme. Using IPO, the scattering caused by a dihedral reflector is analyzed and compared with the results of the method of moments and measurement data.

  • In this paper, the dual parabolic cylindrical reflector systems are analyzed as the reflector system for the CATR(Compact Antenna Test Range) facility. The near-field at the test zone of the CATR is calculated by using the PO(Physical Optics) approximation. The CATR has to provide an uniform plane wave with the minimum amplitude and phase ripple and the low cross polarization. Therefore, in this paper, the near-field pattern are calculated, and the ripple and taper of the field and the cross polarization are investigated with the position of the subreflector and the test region. It is confirmed that the analysis results can be used for the design of the CATR with the dual parabolic cylindrical reflector.

  • A wavefront coding (WFC) technique provides an extension of the depth of field for a microscopy imaging system with slight loss of image spatial resolution. Through the analysis of the relationship between the incidence angle of light at the phase mask and the system pupil function, a mixing symmetrical cubic phase mask (CPM) applied to 5X-40X micro-objectives is optimized simultaneously based on point-spread function (PSF) invariance and nonzero mean values of the modulation transfer function (MTF) near the spatial cut-off frequency. Optimization results of the CPM show that the depth of field of these micro-objectives is extended 3-10 times respectively while keeping their resolution. Further imaging simulations also prove its ability in enhancing the defocus imaging.

  • Purpose: This study was designed to compare the relative accommodation, the accommodative facility, and the addition whose 40's initial presbyopia divided into five occupations (driver, official worker, housewife, field worker, teacher). Methods: We measured the values of near point convergence (NPC), positive relative accommodation (PRA), negative relative accommodation (NRA), accommodative facility, and addition. Results: Official worker group had lower PRA, higher NRA, and lower accommodative facility compared with them of the other groups. The average of addition was as follows: official worker > driver > field worker > housewife > teacher. Conclusions: Because the difference of working environment based on occupation affects the accommodative functions and addition, it is important to consider the patient's occupation when opticians measure the addition for near vision of initial presbyopia.

  • 구멍에 의한 빛의 회절은 광학의 기본적인 문제로서, 최근 근접장 광학(Near-Field Optics)의 발전과 더불어서 파장보다 작은 구멍에서 일어나는 빛의 회절에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다.$^{(1)(2)(3)}$ 본 연구에서는 그동안 주로 이론적으로 다루어지고 있던 파장보다 작은 금속 구멍을 통한 빛의 회절에 대해 실험결과들을 보고한다. 회절된 빛의 먼장(Far-field)과, 근접장(Near-field)을 모두 측정하기 위해서 고체각 주사기(Solid angle scanner)와 근접장 주사 광학 현미경(Near-field Scanning Optical Microscopy)이 사용되었다. 고체각 주사기(Solid angle scanner)를 사용하여 반구면 위에서의 빛의 이차원 세기 분포가 다양한 편광 상태에 따라서 측정되었고$^{(4)}$ 근접장 탐침(NSOM probe)으로 작은 금속 구멍주변을 주사함으로서 근접장이 측정되었다. 작은 구멍은 최근에 개발된 고출력 근접장 광섬유 탐침(High-power near-field fiber probe)구조를 이용하여 제작되었다.$^{(5)}$
