고분자 광도파로소자 기술은 광통신에 사용되는 광도파로소자들을 고분자를 이용하여 구현하는 기술로써, 실리카에 비하여 제조장비가 간소하기 때문에 제조단가를 줄일 수 있으며, 열광학효과가 10배정도 크기 때문에 동작전력을 1/10 이하로 줄일 수 있고, 소자제작공정이 40$0^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 이루어지기 때문에 다른 소자와의 집적이 유리한 점 등 다양한 장점이 있다. 또한 실리카와 달리 고분자는 실리콘뿐만 아니라 다양한 고분자 기판을 사용할 수 있기 때문에 고분자 기판의 열팽창계수와 도파로물질의 열광학계수를 잘 조합하면 온도의 변화에 따른 파장변화와 편광의존성을 근본적으로 해결할 수 있다.

The characteristics of a ferroelectric-domain inverted grating fabricated by applying a high-voltage pulse at room temperature in Ti-diffused channel waveguides in z-cut $LiNbO_3$ (Ti:PPLN) were examined for channel waveguide quasi phase-matched secondharmonic generation devices. The fabrication conditions of uniform periodic domain-inversion were examined. Ti:PPLN with period ${\Lambda}=16.6{\mu}m$ for SHG were fabricated and the performances were measured. A normalized SHG efficiency as high as 473 (%/W) was obtained with 49 mm interaction length.

A directional coupler device, one of the fundamental components of photonic integrated circuits, distributes optical power by evanescent field coupling between two adjacent optical waveguides. In this paper, the design process for manufacturing a directional coupler device is reviewed, and the accuracy of the design results, as seen from the characteristics of the actual fabricated device, is confirmed. When designing a directional coupler device through a two-dimensional (2D) beam-propagation-method (BPM) simulation, an optical structure is converted to a two-dimensional planar structure through the effective index method. After fabricating the directional coupler device array, the characteristics are measured. To supplement the 2D-BPM results that are different from the experimental results, a 3D-BPM simulation is performed. Although 3D-BPM simulation requires more computational resources, the simulation result is closer to the experimental results. Furthermore, the waveguide core refractive index used in 3D-BPM is adjusted to produce a simulation result consistent with the experimental results. The proposed design procedure enables accurate design of directional coupler devices, predicting the experimental results based on 3D-BPM.

By incorporating large core polymer waveguides, which have been developed for increased alignment tolerance in passive fiber attachment, highly efficient variable optical attenuators are proposed. In order to find optimum device structures, 3-dimensional beam propagation method (BPM) simulations are performed. Heat distribution over the polymer film is calculated to find the 3-dimensional index profile data for the BPM simulation. Due to the small index contrast between the core and cladding materials in the large core waveguide, heat-induced radiation occurs for small heating power. While the ordinary VOA needs the temperature to change over $150^{\circ}C$ for 20 dB attenuation, the large core VOA requires only $70^{\circ}C$. In addition to the merit of passive fiber attachment, the proposed VOA has enhanced attenuation efficiency for the lower temperature change.

In this paper, an integrated optical, evanescent-wave biosensor utilizing a multimode interferometer based on a Si₃N₄ rib-optical waveguide consisting of the Si/SiO₂/Si₃N₄/SiO₂ stacked structure was described. The theoretical background of the multimode interferometer was reviewed, and the structure and design process were presented through numerical computational analysis. We analyzed how the dimension (length, width) of the multimode interferometer affected the sensor performance. It has been confirmed through computational analysis that the changes in the refractive index of an analyte greatly affect the mode pattern formation position and output optical power of a multimode interferometer, and proved that this principle could be applied to integrated-optic biosensor.

We have fabricated optical waveguide which utilizes intermixing of InGaAs/InGaAsP multi quantum well separate confinement heterostructure. The waveguide was fabricated by reactive ion etching technique using $CH_4/H_2$ gas mixture, and the width and depth of the waveguide ware $5{\mu}m$ and $1.2{\mu}m$, respectively. The propagation loss of the waveguide was measured by Fabry-Perot interference phenomena using tunable laser. For the waveguide after $800^{\circ}C$, 30s heat treatment, the measured loss was 3.76dB/cm and 3.95dB/cm for TE and TM mode, respectively. This value is very small compared to other waveguide made by IFVD technique. Hence, this technique can applied to integration of waveguide and electronic devices.

광 집적회로의 필요성에 의해 평면형 광소자의 개발이 다각도로 연구되고 있다. 그 중 유리의 광민감성을 이용한 것으로 직접 UV를 조사하여 광도파로를 만드는 방법이 최근 관심을 얻고 있다. 이러한 direct UV-writing 방법을 이용한 경우는 광도과로를 위한 식각 과정을 거치지 않고도 광도파로를 제작할 수 있는 장점이 있다. UV-writing을 이용한 광도파로 형성을 위해서는 undercladding층, core층, overcladding층으로 이루어진 구조의 박막을 제조해야 하며, 특히 빛이 도파되는 core 부분은 UV 조사에 따라 굴절률이 증가하는 광민감성이 높은 물질로 구성되어야 한다. UV조사에 따라 굴절률이 증가하는 광민감성이 높은 물질로 구성되어야 한다.

Integrated-optic symmetric/asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometers at $1.3{\mu}m$ wavelength were studied as sensing part for electric-field measurement system. The devices were simulated based on the BPM software and fabricated utilizing Ti-diffused $LiNbO_3$ channel optical waveguides and lumped-type electrodes. A half-wave voltage of $V_{\pi}$=6.6V and modulation depth of 100% and 75% for a symmetric structure were measured for 200Hz and 1kHz electrical signal bandwidth, respectively. By the way, almost half-maximum power transmission was observed for asymmetric interferometers with ${\pi}$/2 intrinsic phase difference. Expected experimental measurements were observed for 1kHz electrical signal bandwidth.
