  • Graded-index plastic optical fiber for needle-sized lens and rigid endoscope

    Yamashita H., Koike I., Nakamura M., Koike Y.

    Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering 13389 2025

    ISSN  0277786X

     View Summary

    We have been developing a graded-index plastic optical fiber (GI-POF) for a needle-sized lens and a rigid endoscope. With highly accurate control of refractive index within a plastic lens, we can utilize it for an ultra-fine lens as a replacement for a relay lens or fiber-bundled lens in conventional rigid endoscopes. The 0.5-mm diameter lens performs high resolution with about 200-line pairs/mm. For endoscope imaging, we used optical and digital correction of chromatic aberration caused by material properties of GI-POF lens. The rigid endoscope with the GI-POF lens has a possibility to allow doctors to directly observe a patient's inner affected area before and after surgery in a minimally invasive procedure, enabling rapid and accurate assessment of the patient's condition and efficient post-operative followup.

  • Randomizing polarization of displays for fundamental improvement of color mura caused by birefringence

    Sasaki S., Koike Y.

    Optics Letters 49 ( 22 ) 6501 - 6504 2024.11

    ISSN  01469592

     View Summary

    Most existing displays utilize polarization technologies to produce images and improve image quality. However, polarized light from displays causes color mura because of the birefringence of the polymer films used. Thus, eliminating color degradation remains a challenge despite the incorporation of complex polarization technologies such as retardation films. Our proposed random depolarization film (RDF) addresses this issue by randomizing the polarization of light from displays. Chromaticity measurements demonstrate that the RDF effectively compensates for color mura due to low-cost polymer films. Notably, the RDF compensation mechanism is independent of the RDF position and light source spectrum. Therefore, the RDF could be an innovative solution for color degradation in existing displays.

  • Random depolarization film design based on modulation transfer function measurements of displays with different pixel pitches

    Sasaki S., Masaoka K., Koike Y.

    Applied Optics 63 ( 11 ) 2900 - 2905 2024.04

    ISSN  1559128X

     View Summary

    Polarized light emitted frommost displays causes blackout and color change problems when viewed through polarized sunglasses. These problems are addressed by random depolarization films (RDFs) doped with birefringent particles. These dopant particles, however, scatter light and degrade the sharpness of the displayed images.To maintain the image sharpness, we designed an RDF based on modulation transfer function measurements of displays with different pixel pitches. RDFs doped with larger particles achieved higher modulations; however, particles larger than a specific size caused undesirable sparkles on the displayed image. A display with a larger pixel pitch achieved higher modulations, suggesting that the RDF is particularly suitable for large-screen displays.

  • Stabilized Plastic Optical Fiber Link Even Without a Physical-Contact Fiber Connection

    Muramoto K., Minami H., Koike Y.

    Journal of Lightwave Technology 42 ( 2 ) 875 - 881 2024.01

    ISSN  07338724

     View Summary

    We propose a novel graded-index plastic optical fiber (GI POF) link that enables stable high-speed data transmission without the requirement for conventional coupling techniques to reduce reflection at fiber connection, as typified by physical-contact (PC) fiber connection, for short-reach multimode fiber (MMF) applications with vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). In the novel GI POF link, noise caused by light reflected at the fiber connection back into a VCSEL cavity can be suppressed through strong mode coupling in the fiber. It thereby improves the bit error rate of the data transmission compared with conventional silica and polymer MMFs. The capability of the novel GI POF link will be advantageous for optical interconnects in household and automotive applications, in which PC connection is not ideal to apply. The novel GI POF link will also be invaluable for multi-fiber interconnects based on multi-fiber connectors for data center applications, in which complete PC connections are difficult to obtain.

  • Proposal of Novel Random Depolarization Film for Real-Color Displays with Sharp Images

    Sasaki S., Koike Y.

    Digest of Technical Papers - SID International Symposium 55 ( 1 ) 425 - 428 2024

    ISSN  0097966X

     View Summary

    The random depolarization film (RDF), a polymer film doped with birefringent particles, converts linearly polarized light to randomly polarized light. This paper shows that a novel RDF with controlled birefringence resolves polarization problems of the display such as blackout, color change, and color mura problems. Furthermore, the novel RDF achieved a higher contrast ratio and a sharper image than a conventional RDF doped with calcite particles.
