Abstract

As for the characteristic of elements for a lot of communication used in light communication systems, it is affected according to structure of directional coupler. We carried out study on a characteristic of the directional coupler which had waveguide structure to have perturbation phenomenon in this paper and ran simulation on the characteristic that we changed structure of directional coupler too, and was got. Confirmation was able to do that it operated with an optical filter, and the directional coupler which added waveguide structure to produce perturbation phenomenon by the results was able to confirm what we adjusted duty ratio of waveguide structure too, and operated with a more excellent optical filter. Through simulation, the case that duty ratio changed than the case that duty ratio of waveguide structure was $50\%$ was able to get an excellent answer characteristic of a -l8dB degree.

광통신시스템들에서 사용되는 많은 통신용 소자들의 특성은 방향성 결합기(directional coupler)의 구조에 따라 영향을 받게 된다. 본 논문에서는 방향성 결합기 구조에 섭동현상을 일으킬 수 있는 도파로 구조를 포함시켜 그 특성에 대해 연구를 수행하였고, 또한 도파로 구조를 변화시켰을 때, 얻어지는 특성에 대해 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 결과로써, 섭동현상을 일으키는 도파로 구조를 첨가한 방향성 결합기가 광 필터로 동작함을 확인 할 수 있었고, 또한 도파로 구조의 듀티 비를 조절하여 보다 우수한 광 필터로 동작함을 확인할 수 있었다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 도파로 구조의 듀티 비가 $50\%$인 경우보다 듀티 비가 변화하는 경우가 -l8dB정도의 우수한 응답특성을 갖게 됨을 확인 할 수 있었다.
