In this investigation, we describe a metrological technique for surface and thickness profiles of a silicon (Si) wafer by using a 6 degree of freedom (DOF) stitching method. Low coherence scanning interferometry employing near infrared light, partially transparent to a Si wafer, is adopted to simultaneously measure the surface and thickness profiles of the wafer. For the large field of view, a stitching method of the sub-aperture measurement is added to the measurement system; also, 6 DOF parameters, including the lateral positioning errors and the rotational error, are considered. In the experiment, surface profiles of a double-sided polished wafer with a 100 mm diameter were measured with the sub-aperture of an 18 mm diameter at $10\times10$ locations and the surface profiles of both sides were stitched with the sub-aperture maps. As a result, the nominal thickness of the wafer was $483.2{\mu}m$ and the calculated PV values of both surfaces were $16.57{\mu}m$ and $17.12{\mu}m$, respectively.

In this paper, we introduced a near-infrared multi-channel fluorescence imaging system and analyzed the effects of measurements variables such as exposure time, working distance and intensity of excitation light. Fluorescence signal is increased as exposure time becomes longer, excitation light intensity increases or working distance becomes smaller. Furthermore, the proper composition of optical filters and precise packaging of the imaging modules prevent the increase of background signal. Thus, we confirmed an increase in SBR. Based on the result of this research, we proposed a method to use a multi-channel fluorescence imaging system.

The NISS (Near-infrared Imaging Spectrometer for Star formation history) onboard NEXTSat-1 is being developed by KASI. The NISS will perform the imaging low-resolution spectroscopic observation in the near-infrared range for nearby galaxies, low background regions, starforming regions and so on. The off-axis reflecting telescope with a wide field of view (2 deg. ${\times}$ 2 deg.) will be operated in the wavelength range from 0.95 to $3.8{\mu}m$. In order to reduce thermal noise, a telescope and a HgCdTe infrared sensor will be cooled down to 200K and 80K, respectively. To evade a stray light outside a field of view and use limited space efficiently, the NISS adopted the off-axis reflective optical system. The primary and secondary mirrors, optomechanical part and mechanical structure were designed to use the same material. It will lessen the degradation of optical performance due to a thermal variation. The purpose of NISS is the observation of cosmic near-infrared background in the wide wavelength range as well as the detection of near-infrared spectral lines in nearby galaxies, cluster of galaxies and star forming regions. It will give us less biased information on the star formation history. In addition, we will demonstrate the space technologies related to the development of the Korea's leading near-infrared instrument for the future large infrared telescope, SPICA.

The objective of the research being presented was to construct and calibrate a spectrometer for the analysis of single kernels of corn. In light of the difficulties associated with capturing the spatial variability in composition of corn kernels by single-beam spectrometry, a hyperspectral imaging spectrometer was constructed with the intention that it would be used to analyze single kernels of corn for the prediction of moisture and oil content. The spectrometer operated in the range of 750- 1090 nanometers. After evaluating four methods of standardizing the output from the spectrometer, calibrations were made to predict whole-kernel moisture and oil content from the hyperspectral image data. A genetic algorithm was employed to reduce the number of wavelengths imaged and to optimize the calibrations. The final standard errors of prediction during cross-validation (SEPCV) were 1.22% and 1.25% for moisture and oil content, respectively. It was determined, by analysis of variance, that the accuracy and precision of single-kernel corn analysis by hyperspectral imaging is superior to the single kernel reference chemistry method (as tested).

본 연구에서는 근적외선대역의 광원을 이용하여 생체측정 시 에러로 작용하는 피하지방층의 두께를 추정하는 방법의 가능성에 대해 검토한다. 현재까지 피하지방층의 두께측정을 위해서는 초음파장비나 CT, Dexa 장비 등 고가의 장비로 측정을 하는방법 이외는 특별한 수단이 없는 것이 현실이다. 정확한 측정을 위해 피하지방층의 두께를 제거하는 것이 일반적인 연구의 목적이나 본 연구에서는 이들 피하지방 두께 측정을 최근 주목받고 있는 건강에 적용하고자 한다. 본 연구의 피하지방층의 두께추정방법의 가능성이 보여진다면 체지방측정에 있어 몸 전체의 체지방을 추측하는 방식인 BIA방식의 체지방측정방법과 비교하여 특정부위에 대한 피하지방층 측정도 가능할 것이라는 기대도 할 수 있다.

Beef samples of loin eye area from New Zealand, USA and three quality grades of Hanwoo were analyzed using near infrared spectrophotometer with reference values from laboratory optical Chromameter to determine effective spectrum range and mathematical treatment for determination of color values. $R^2s$ of prediction models were not improved much by calibrating with whole light range (400~2500 nm) compared to using visible range (400~1100 nm). Standard errors of calibration and prediction were influenced by possible bias due to sampling non-homogeneous sample sources. However, partial differentiation in the first order was more stable against sampling biases than second derivatives of the spectra. Lightness value was little different among the five sample sources of beef. Beef samples from USA were brighter and more reddish than beefs of Hanwoo or from New Zealand (p<0.05). Yellowness of USA beef was the highest followed by beef from New Zealand, which was also higher than Hanwoo beefs of three quality grades (p<0.05).

Significant discrepancies have been found between the dust masses of edge-on spiral galaxies derived from various tracers (optical/near-infrared, far-infrared/sub-millimeter observations, and the variation of dust attenuation with viewing angle). Here we report the first detection of a vertically extended far-ultraviolet (FUV) and near-UV (NUV) emission in an edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 891. The vertically extended emission is interpreted as the dust-scattered light due to a extraplanar dust layer in NGC 891 that contains about the same mass as the standard thin dust disk. This new dust component completely encloses the stellar disk and bulge, and solves the puzzle of dust mass.

In this paper, we developed a frequency-domain diffuse optical tomography(DOT) system for non-invasively imaging in vivo. The system uses near-infrared(NIR) light sources and detectors for which the photon propagation in human tissue is dominated by scattering rather than by absorption. We present the experimental reconstruction images of absorption and scattering coefficients using a liquid tissue phantom, and we obtain the location and shape of an anomaly which has different optical properties than the phantom.

In previous study, we showed the feasibility of the in vivo use of portable near infrared system for the determination of human skin moisture. In order to optimize the acquiring condition of NIR spectrum of skin. skin depth profiling was investigated changing the distance and gap size between illumination and receiving of radiation in the terminal of fiber probe. The colleted light information could be controlled depending the distance and gap of fiber optic probe. (omitted)
