  • The next generation of optical storage systems requires higher numerical aperture (NA) objective lenses and shorter wavelength laser in order to improve the unit areal density. A blu-ray technology satisfies a miniaturization and a high capacity which are the requirements of the portable device. In this paper, we analyze the optical performance of hybrid micro lens and do active alignment. The hybrid micro lens is manufactured by using a wafer based fabrication technology. Optical components of hybrid micro lens are evaluated. The measurement of the optical power, the spot size and the wavefront error awe performed to evaluate the hybrid micro lens with NA 0.85. Using the measured data, we estimate if the performance of hybrid micro lens corresponds to the designed performance. After the performance of hybrid micro lens is evaluated, the integrated optical pickup and the hybrid micro lens are assembled by active alignment using UV curing and the optical performance of SFFOP is satisfied with BD specifications.

  • Optical pick-up is a core component for data read/write operations in optical disc drives, and an optical pick-up performance evaluator is an instrument used to analyze the overall performance of an optical pick-up. Due to inevitable errors in an analog measurement circuit, resultant evaluation data is not guaranteed to be accurate. In this paper, a calibration method for an optical pick-up performance evaluator is proposed to ensure evaluation accuracy. Measured data is corrected by a 1st order correction function, and a calibration process based on least-square method is utilized to obtain correction coefficients of the correction function. The proposed calibration method is applied to experiments, and enhanced accuracy is presented with resultant evaluation data.

  • Visible light communication (VLC) is considered a strong future candidate for indoor wireless communication. However, its performance seems to be relatively unsatisfactory when compared to wireless local area network (WLAN) communication using millimeter waves. To improve the performance of VLC, numerous technologies have been proposed so far, in both electrical and optical domains. Among the proposals, optical beamforming (OB) is an optical-domain technology that can concentrate light in a specific direction or on a target spot. It can significantly improve VLC performance and can be widely used, because it does not depend on electrical modulation schemes. Therefore, this review discusses the concept, principle, and types of OB, the structure of a VLC system using OB, performance results of OB, and the combination of OB with electrical signal modulation in VLC. OB is expected to be one of the key techniques in future VLC implementations, similar to radio-frequency beamforming in millimeter-wave communication.

  • Currently, product of optical collimator for optical communication is depending on handiwork, and some companies are propelling semi-automatic system composite of manual and automatic operations. In this point of time, the importance of automatic system of optical collimator for optical communication is taking its place as a core technology in the development of parts with high-efficiency of optical communication. In order to develop such an optical collimator in this study, we designed an automatic assembly system, and developed a software for the system operation. At a result of that, we could carry out a single work process individually running processes of collimator fabrication, a constant work process constantly running all of the processes, and performance evaluation of the collimator.

  • An OptiNeural system is developed for optical pattern classification. It is a novel hybrid system which consists of an optical processor and a multilayer neural network. It takes advantages of two dimensional processing capability of an optical processor and nonlinear mapping capability of a neural network. The optical processor with a binary phase only filter is used as a preprocessor for feature extraction and the neural network is used as a decision system through mapping. OptiNeural system is trained for optical pattern classification by use of a simulated annealing algorithm. Its classification performance for grey tone texture patterns is excellent, while a conventional optical system shows poor classification performance.

  • Optical equipment consists of various components, and a detector is mounted and operated on aircraft, tanks, and warships for target detection and classification. The structural stability and optical performance of aeronautical optical equipment operated at several kilometers of altitude are degraded owing to vibration generated in the aircraft. It is necessary to verify the structural stability and optical performance requirements of the equipment in vibration environment conditions during the design phase. In this study, vibration environment conditions were analyzed using a test standard and the measurements of the vibration generated in aircraft. The conditions were classified as endurance and operating vibration conditions for structural stability and optical performance verification, respectively. The structural stability was verified according to natural frequency analysis, response analysis for the endurance vibration condition, and static analysis. The optical performance was verified by applying the vibration response analysis results to the optical design/analysis program.

  • In this paper, we address the issue of how to improve performance of integrated optical path and optical packet. For supporting ultra-high-speed traffic, integration of optical paths and packets in a switch is one of key techniques in New Generation Networks. However, the wavelength allocation for optical packets and optical paths has not been efficiently resolved yet because there lacks of a systematic model for evaluating performance of the integrated switch. This paper models the operation of the integrated switch as a system of two servers, one for optical paths and the other for optical packets. From the model, we utilize Newton method to find an optimal policy for sharing of wavelength resources. Afterwards, we propose an algorithm to dynamically allocate wavelength resources in an integrated switch. Finally, we evaluate performance of that algorithm.
