Unlike conventional optical coherence tomography systems based on Michelson interferometer, we suggest a common-path OCT system, which does not include a separated configuration between reference signal and sample signal. We optimize the refractive index of partial reflecting probe to induce a balanced intensity of the reference signal. At the end of the probe, convex lens was optimally fabricated to get images of biological samples in the position of focus. Using the experimental system, we could get 2-D images of various biological samples.

An improved low coherence interferometer system and a new analysis method for the accurate measurement of the optical path difference error of an AWG (Arrayed-Waveguide Grating) are described. The use of software simplifies the experimental setup by eliminating the hardware (clock generator). In addition, the actual distances between the peak positions of the adjacent interference signals are calculated using interpolation methods. The wavelength transmission characteristics of the AWG are calculated assuming the measured phase errors. The calculated AWG characteristic is quite similar to the actual measurement result, confirming accuracy of the proposed measurement setup.

A method for measuring optical properties of biological medium was investigated by using the frequency domain spectroscopy. When amplitude-modulated light with the frequency of several tens up to several hundred MHz propagates through a scattering medium, the phase lag and the amplitude reduction occur. The phase lag depends on the average of optical path lengths. The amplitude reduction with respect to the radial distance is influenced by the penetration depth. The mean of optical path length and penetration depth are related to optical coefficients. The phase lag and the amplitude reduction were measured based on the heterodyne detection method. The experimental data were fitted with the theoretical curves derived from diffusion theory and the absorption and scattering coefficients were calculated.

A displacement measurement system that uses fiber-optical common-path interferometry has been developed. The system includes fiber-optic devices and a collimator attached to a linear translation stage. The interferometry effect was detected with a photodetector whose signal was measured on an oscilloscope. Experiments showed that vibration of the stage disturbed the signal by causing nanoscale interference. Under stable conditions, the measured distance was the almost the same as the value calculated from the linear translation stage parameters.

We report a novel simulation method to calculate optical transmission considering the real paths of optic introduced in a unit pixel of TFT-LCDs using three-dimensional molecular director simulation of the tensor model. The simulation of optical path transmission profile was carried out by calculating new permittivity considered the real paths of optic in liquid crystal cell. As a result, it was clarified that the electro-optic characteristics such as movement of disclination line, contrast ratio and transmittance profile show a large difference according to the viewing angle compared with the conventional method.

This study suggested fanless thermal design using CAE technique for the information storage system under the serious thermal problem. At first, main heat flow was controlled by CAE based fanless heat sink design not to influence sensitive optical pick-up sensor. Then, vent parametric studies found a thermal solution about highly concentrated case top heat due to fanless. These CAE results were verified by experimental methods. As a consequence of newly designed thermal path, thermal specification of optical pick-up sensor was satisfied and fanless thermal design for the information storage system was achieved.

This paper introduces an optical encoder using the reflection in the slit. The digital optical encoder is a sensor to generate a pulse according to the displacement. An optical encoder is composed of 3 parts: light source, slit plate and light-receiving element. In a conventional encoder, one slit produces one signal. The resolution of the digital optical encoder is determined by the number of slits in the encoder plate. The small slit size is most important among the factors that determine the resolution in a generic-type optical encoder. However, a small slit has low productivity and technical difficulties, so analog optical encoders have emerged as an alternative. Nonetheless, this alternative requires additional circuitry and equipment because of the noise and drafts in the analog signals. A new sensor is presented in this paper with a high resolution and a slit of the same size using the reflection in the slit. Then, the path of the light that passes through the slit ccording to the shape was analyzed, and some paths were expressed in the mathematical expressions. In addition, the optical paths were analyzed in the rectangular, octagonal, and circular encoders, and shown the obtained number of signals per slit by using them. Thus, we confirm that this method has the best performance in circle-shaped slits.

In this study, ray-tracing software was used to calculate the optical path length of an optical system. Using the optical path length, the optical phase, group delay (GD), group delay dispersion (GDD), and third-order dispersion (TOD) of the optical system were obtained. Pulse compressors using a prism pair or grating pair were designed to compensate the GDD of a real optical system for a femtosecond fiber laser. Also, a pulse stretcher using a grating pair with lenses or mirrors was designed. The results of this study can be used to calculate the dispersion of an optical system and optimize the performance of an ultrashort pulse laser optical system.

Recent issues in Optical Disk Drive (ODD) are focused on small size. Blu-ray Disk (BD), using blue laser (405nm wavelength) and high NA (0.85) objective lens. can store 25Gbyte on a conventional 12cm optical disk. Small Form Factor Optical (SFFO) drive uses 3cm disk which can store 1.5Gbyte on a disk. This kind of Small Form Factot Optical (SFFO) drive correspond to PCMCIA type memory (Compact Flash or Micro Drive). Preferably, Optical Disk has relatively low cost of the storage media per Byte rather than PCMCIA type memory. To make Small Form Factor Optical (SFFO) drive. optical pickup and its component must be miniaturized. Miniaturization of the component needs new concept of Optical Pickup. This paper is focused on two main subjects. One is Objective Lens design which can be manufactured on a wafer, and the other is optical path design of the pickup which has 2mm thickness.

This paper describes the problems of the existing two multi-layer routing policies(policy 1 and policy 2) and suggests new multi-layer routing policy(policy 3) which is established the packet LSP by inquiry on packet LSP lambda routing tables for GMPLS based optical If Network. All policies of multi-layer routing schemes first try to allocate a newly requested electrical path to an existing optical path that directly connects the source and destination nodes. U such a path is not available, all policies employ different procedures. Policy 1 tries to find available existing optical paths with two or more hops that connect the source and destination nodes and policy 2 tries to establish a new one-hop optical path between source and destination nodes. Policy 3 tries to establish a new one-hop optical path by inquiry on information of the packet LSP lambda routing tables between source and destination nodes. The performances of the three multi-routing policies are evaluated by computer simulation. Simulation results show that policy 3 is the excellent of routing time and traffic acceptance capabilities compare to existing two polices if p is large, where p is the number of packet-switching-capable ports p.
