We present a numerical procedure that compensates for tilt phase aberration in in-line digital holography by computing the period of interference patterns in the reconstructed phase image. This method enables the reconstruction of correct and accurate phase information, even if strong tilt aberrations exist. Example applications of tilt aberration compensation are shown for a tilted plate, a micro-lens array, and a thin film transistor. This method is convenient because it uses only one hologram and no hardware to minimize the tilt aberration.

The use of conventional Twyman and Fizeau interferometers inevitably fails in testing high precision optics because of errors always existing in reference elements producing the reference wavefront. Therefore it is necessary to apply to this task the interferometers of a radically new type, which are able to produce perfect reference wavefront with the help of light diffraction by a small obstacle or pinhole. In this paper new theoretical approaches and schematics of point diffraction interferometers are considered in detail with paying attention to constructive reliability. Such interferometers do not use reference optical surfaces and readily provide adequate estimation of errors and aberrations value of 0.01 wavelengths.

등가렌즈 변환법을 2매 접합렌즈계의 설계에 적용하여 achromatic doublet 과 aplanatic doublet을 설계하였다. 먼저 얇은 렌즈계에서 3차수차를 보정하고, 이를 등가렌즈 변환법을 사용하여 두꺼운 렌즈계로 변환하였다. Crown 유리 BaK-2와 flint 유리 SF-2를 사용하여 Fraunhofer type 과 Steinheil type의 접합렌즈계를 설계하였고, 얇은 2매 접합렌즈계에서는 두 가지 설계형태 모두에서 2개의 achromatic solution과 하나의 aplanatic solution이 존재하였다.

평행한 단색광이 회절격자에 입사하면 회절격자의 뒷쪽 공간의 특정한 위치마다 반복하여 격자선 무늬를 본뜬 그림자가 생기는 지점이 나타난다. 빛의 회절로 인하여 렌즈없이도 격자선의 상이 만들어지는 이 현상은 흥미로울뿐만 아니라 회절격자를 사용한 미소거리의 측정에 응용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 간단한 Fraunhofer 근사를 사용해도 이러한 현상을 해석할 수 있음을 보였고 실험을 통하여 예측한 대로 특정한 영역에서 격자선 복제가 일어나는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes a robust, simple zonal wavefront-estimation method in a grid sampling model. More slopes are added to the integral equation of the algorithm to improve the accuracy and convergence rate of this approach, especially for higher-order optical aberrations. The Taylor theorem is applied to clarify the mathematical description of the remaining error in the proposed method. Several numerical simulations are conducted to ensure the performance and improvement in comparison to the Southwell and previous algorithm. An experiment is also conducted according to deflectometry output and the results are verified using a reference measured with a stylus system.

A stack of gradient-index (GRIN) rod lenses cannot be used for coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microendoscopy for insertion to internal organs through a surgical keyhole with minimal invasiveness. That's because GRIN lens has large amount of inherent chromatic aberrations in spite of absolutely requiring a common focus for pump and Stokes beam with each frequency of ${\omega}_p$ and ${\omega}_S$. For this endoscopic purpose, we need to develop a long slender probe-type objective, namely probe-type microscope objective (PMO). In this paper, we introduce the structure, the working principle, and the design techniques of PMO which is composed of a probe-type lens module (PLM) and an adaptor lens module (ALM). PLM is first designed for a long slender type and ALM is successively designed by using several design parameters from PLM for eliminating optical discords between scanning unit and PLM. A combined module is optimized again to eliminate some coupling disparities between PLM and ALM for the best PMO. As a result, we can obtain a long slender PMO with perfectly diffraction-limited performance for pump beam of 817 nm and Stokes beam of 1064 nm.

The support structure of an optical mirror system is the one of the important design elements because the one affects the optical aberrations of the mirror surface. In this paper, Lagrange equation of the moving body of the fast steering mirror system(FSM) has been formulated to use with optimization design. Major goals for optimization are to assign the reasonably flexible stiffness to the structure and to enhance the first natural frequency of the mirror and support system in aid of more affordable control bandwidth for the FSM. Pursuing these purposes with the proposed method, the finite element analysis(FEA), optimization technique and the Zernike polynomial estimation are used for the design effects. It is concluded that the proposed approach for design well guides toward the desired design goals with regards to both structural and optical performances.

An unobstructed off-axis two-mirror system is presented in this paper. First a suitable initial configuration is established based on third-order aberration theory. In order to achieve a wide field of view (FOV) with high image quality , the diffractive mirror is adopted in the two-mirror system to increase the optimization freedom and the aberration relationship between diffractive phase coefficients and Zernike coefficients is derived. Furthermore, a complete comparison design example with a focal length of 1200 mm, F-number of 12, and FOV of 40° × 2° is given to verify the aberration correction ability of the diffractive mirror. The system average wavefront error is 0.007 λ (λ=0.6328 μm) developed from 0.061 λ when the system didn’t adopt the diffractive mirror. In this system the phase modulation function of the diffractive mirror is established as an even function of x, so we could obtain a symmetrical imaging quality about the tangential plane, and the symmetric aberration performance also brings considerable convenience to alignment and testing for the system.

This paper presents the design and evaluation of the optical zoom system for an LWIR camera. The 12.8operating wavelength range of this system is from $7.7{\mu}m$ to $12.8{\mu}m$. Through a paraxial design and optimization process, we have obtained the extended four-group inner-focus zoom system with focal lengths of 10 to 100 mm, which consists of the six lenses including four aspheric surfaces and two diffractive surfaces. The diffractive lenses were used to balance the higher-order aberrations, and its diffraction properties were evaluated by scalar diffraction theory. We have calculated the polychromatic integrated diffraction efficiency and the MTF drop generated by background noise. The f-number of the zoom system is F/1.4 at all positions. Fields of view are given by $51.28^{\circ}{\times}38.46^{\circ}$ at wide field and $5.50^{\circ}{\times}4.12^{\circ}$ at narrow field positions. In conclusion, this design procedure results in a $10{\times}$ compact zoom lens system useful for an LWIR camera.
