본 논문은 적외선 센서의 광 강도 및 효율을 증가시키기 위해 새로운 오목한 반사 벽면(curved mirror surface)과 기존의 수직 반사 벽면(vertical mirror surface)구조와의 모의해석 및 실험 결과에 대해 기술하였다. 모의해석 결과 수직 반사 벽면을 사용했을 때 적외선 센서 필터 표면에 도달하는 광의 분포는 타원 형상으로 적외선 센서 표면에 도달함을 볼 수 있고, 오목한 반사 벽면을 사용하는 경우에는 광이 원형상으로 집광되는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 따라서 초기 평행광의 면적보다 작은 면적으로 집광됨으로 인해 단위면적당 광 강도는 향상되고, 이에 따라 광학적 센서의 출력전압은 향상될 것이라 예측되었다. 이 모의해석을 근간으로 하여 $25^{\circ}C$, 45%R.H.에서 이산화탄소를 0 ppm에서 2500 ppm까지 250 ppm 간격으로 주입시켰을 때, 오목한 반사 벽면의 광 공동이 수직 반사 벽면의 광 공동보다 출력전압이 약 200 mV 증가하였다.

In this paper, an extremely low voltage operated micro corner cube retroreflector (CCR) was fabricated for free-space optical communication applications by using bulk silicon micromachining technologies. The CCR was comprised of an orthogonal vertical mirror and a horizontal actuated mirror. For low voltage operation, the horizontal actuated mirror was designed with two PZT cantilever actuators, torsional bars, hinges, and a mirror plate with a size of $400{\mu}m{\times}400{\mu}m$. In particular, the torsional bars and hinges were carefully simulated and designed to secure the flatness of the mirror plate by using a finite element method (FEM) simulator. The measured tilting angle was approximately $2^{\circ}$ at the applied voltage of 5 V. An orthogonal vertical mirror with an extremely smooth surface texture was fabricated using KOH wet etching and a double-SOI (silicon-on-insulator) wafer with a (110) silicon wafer. The fabricated orthogonal vertical mirror was comprised of four pairs of two mutually orthogonal flat mirrors with $400{\mu}m4 (length) $\times400{\mu}m$ (height) $\times30{\mu}m$ (thickness). The cross angles and surface roughness of the orthogonal vertical mirror were orthogonal, almost $90^{\circ}$ and 3.523 nm rms, respectively. The proposed CCR was completed by combining the orthogonal vertical and horizontal actuated mirrors. Data transmission and modulation at a frequency of 10 Hz was successfully demonstrated using the fabricated CCR at a distance of approximately 50 cm.

A $50{\times}50{\mu}m^2$ aluminum micromirror array is fabricated using surface micromachining technology. $50{\times}50$ micromirrors are arrayed two dimensionally. The micromirror plate is supported by a vertical spring structure that is placed underneath the mirror plate. When the mirror plates reflect a light, the micromirror array un have large effective reflecting area. Fabrication of vertical spring uses only one mask and shadow evaporation process.

These days, the size of a reflective telescope has been increasing for astronomical observation. An additional optical system usually assists a large ground telescope for image analysis or the compensation of air turbulence. To guide collimated light to the external optical system through a designated path, a coudé mirror is usually adopted. Including a collimator, a coudé mirror of a ground telescope is affected by gravity, depending on the telescope's pointing direction. The mirror surface is deformed by the weight of the mirror itself and its mount, which deteriorates the optical performance. In this research, we propose an optimization method for the coudé mirror assembly for a 1-m class ground telescope that minimizes the gravitational surface error (SFE). Here the mirror support positions and the sizes of the mount structure are optimized using finite element analysis and the response surface optimization method in both the horizontal and vertical directions, considering the telescope's altitude angle. Throughout the whole design process, the coefficients of the Zernike polynomials are calculated and their amplitude changes are monitored to determine the optimal design parameters. At the same time, the design budgets for the thermal SFE and the mass and size of the mount are reflected in the study.

In order to investigate the vortex body frame interaction around the side mirror of a passenger car, velocity vector fields in the wake, pressure distributions and boundary layer flows over both the mirror surface and the mirror housing, have been measured by several experimental tools. It was resulted that only within an half downstream distance of the mirror span there appears the recirculation zone, and also found that vortex trail towards to the driver side window between A and B pillars, making the acoustic noise and vibration. Wake vortex rolls up after this recirculating zone and makes the trail of the vortex center towards the driver side window, which was also confirmed by measurements of wake velocity vectors in the vertical sections of the trail and visualization over the side mirror surfaces as well. It was also observed that total pressure distribution over the mirror surface has the minimum peak near the lower tip region which can be considered as the origin of the vortex center. It can be concluded that the geometrical modification of the lower tip and the upper root area of the mirror housing is the key to control the wake vortex.

In this study, we introduce a sensing platform based on a plasmonic metasurface absorber (MA) with a vertical nanogap for the ultrasensitive detection of monolayer molecules. The vertical nanogap of the MA, where the extremely high near-field is uniformly distributed and exposed to the external environment, is formed by an under-cut structure between a metallic cross nanoantenna and the mirror layer. The accessible sensing area and the enhanced near-field of the MA further enhance the sensitivity of surface-enhanced infrared absorption for the target molecule of 1-octadecanethiol. To provide strong coupling between the molecular vibrations and plasmonic resonance, the design parameters of the MA with a vertical nanogap are numerically designed.

In this paper, using surface micromachining technology with thick photoresist and aluminum, an SLM(Spatial Light Modulator), which is applied to the fields of adaptive optics and pattern recognition system, was fabricated and the electromechanical properties of the fabricated micro SLM are measured. In order to maximize fill-factor and remove mechanical coupling between micro SLM actuators, the micro SLM is composed of three aluminum layers so that spring structure and upper electrode are placed beneath the mirror plate, and $10\times10$ each mirror plate is individually actuated. Also, the micro SLM was designed to be able to modulate phase and amplitude of incoming light in order to have a continuity of phase modulation of incoming light. In the case of amplitude and phase modulation, maximum vertical displacement is 4$\mum$, and maximum angular displacement is $\pm4.6^{\corc}$ respectively. The height difference of the fabricated mirror plate was able to be reduced to 1100A with mirror plate planarization method using negative photoresist(AZ5214). The electromechanical properties of the fabricated micro SLM were measured with the optical measurement system using He-Ne laser and PSD(position sensitive device).

We have evaluated a 1.3 ${\mu}m$ vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL), whose bottom mirror and central active layer were grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and whose top mirror was covered with a dielectric coating, for 10 Gb/s data transmission over single-mode fibers (SMFs). Successful demonstration of error-free transmission of the directly modulated VCSEL signals at data rate of 10 Gb/s over a 10 km-long SMF was achieved for operating temperatures from $20^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$ up to bit-error-rate (BER) of $10^{-12}$. The DC bias current and modulation currents are only 7 mA and 6 mA, respectively. The results indicate that the VCSEL is a good low-power consuming optical signal source for 10 GBASE Ethernet applications under controlled environments.

한 장의 영상에 보다 많은 영상정보를 담기 위해서는 넓은 시야각이 필요하다. 넓은 시야각을 갖는 영상은 보안, 감시, 원격화상회의, 이동로봇 등의 산업분야에서 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 광각의 파노라마 영상을 획득하기 위해 쌍곡면 실린더형 반사체를 이용한 영상획득 방법을 제안한다. 일반적인 응용 예에서 수직화각 보다 수평화각이 중요하므로 수직방향으로는 평면거울과 같고, 수평방향으로 쌍곡선 형태를 갖는 실린더형 반사체를 설계하였다. 광학적 성능 분석을 위해 광선추적법을 통해 본 쌍곡면 실린더형 반사체 영상계의 영상획득 모델을 구하였으며, 쌍곡면 실린더형 반사체를 실제 제작하였고, 영상 실험을 통해 광각 영상획득 성능을 검증하였다. 제안하는 영상 시스템은 기존 방법에 비해 경제적이며, 별도의 영상처리 없이 수평화각 210도에 이르는 광각의 실시간 파노라마 영상을 획득할 수 있었다.

Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser(VCSEL)는 짧은 공진기(cavity)와 여러 층의 distributed Bragg reflector(DBR)층을 거울로 사용하기 때문에, edge-emitting lasers(EELs)와는 달리, 광출력 및 변환효율 등의 예측이 쉽지 않다. 그 주된 원인은 VCSEL에서는 Fabry-Perot 레이저와는 달리, 각각의 DBR 거울 층들이 손실을 가지고 있기 때문으로 이에 따라 상/하향광출력 비나 변환효율을 계산해 내는 데에 어려움이 있다. 그러나 전달 행렬 방법(transfer matrix method, TMM)을 이용하면, VCSEL과 같은 여러 층을 갖는 구조에서의 성능 지수를 정확히 계산할 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 전달 행렬 방법을 이용하여 VCSEL의 구조 변화에 따른 문턱이득, 문턱전류 밀도 및 변환효율을 구하였으며 문턱전류 및 변환효율 모두를 고려한 VCSEL의 최적 구조 설계 기법을 제시하였다.
