The characteristics of the optical fiber polarizer have been analyzed theoretically by using the Fresnel equations and compared with the results computed by the Yeh's electromagnetic theory. we found that they agreed reasonably well each other for the optical fiber polarizer of our interest.

본 논문에서는 평탄 대역 모드와 손실형 평탄 대역 모드의 투과 스펙트럼을 가지는 PDLS 기반 Lyot형 광섬유 빗살 필터에서 출력되는 편광 상태를 이론적으로 분석하였다. 분석을 위해 파장 가변 레이저, 편광 조절기, 그리고 편광자를 사용하였다. 필터에 배치된 두 개의 반파장판을 적절히 조절하여 평탄 대역 모드와 손실형 평탄 대역 모드를 선택할 수 있다. 편광 조절기를 적절히 조절하면 파장 가변 레이저로부터 나오는 빛의 편광을 원하는 것으로 선택 가능하고 한 채널 내에서 필터의 투과 대역을 미세하게 조절할 수 있다. 그리고 편광자를 통해 출력되는 스펙트럼으로 출력 스펙트럼의 파장별 편광 상태를 알 수 있다.

In this paper we have implemented a temperature-insensitive polarimetric fiber strain sensor based on a Sagnac birefringence interferometer composed of a short polarization-maintaining photonic crystal fiber (PM-PCF), a 3-dB fiber coupler, and polarization controllers. The PM-PCF used as a sensor head was 2 cm long, which is the shortest length for a sensing element compared to other polarimetric fiber strain sensors using a PM-PCF. The proposed sensor showed a strain sensitivity of ${\sim}0.87pm/{\mu}{\varepsilon}$ with a strain measurement range from 0 to $8m{\varepsilon}$. The temperature sensitivity was also investigated and measured as approximately $-12pm/^{\circ}C$, when ambient temperature changed from 30 to $100^{\circ}C$. This temperature sensitivity is about 82 times smaller than that of conventional polarization-maintaining fiber (approximately $-990pm/^{\circ}C$). In particular, from a practical perspective we have experimentally and theoretically confirmed that the wavelength selected for the indicator dip location does not make a significant difference in the strain sensitivity.

액정은 낮은 전압에서 액정 방향자의 변화에 따른 굴절률 변조를 일으키고 가시광과 근적외선 파장에서 큰 투과도를 가지고 있어 특히 디스플레이 등의 소자에 널리 이용되고 있다. 그러나 현재 액정만을 이용한 디스플레이 등의 응용제품들은 응답속도, 구동특성으로 인해 대화면 구동이 곤란하고 편광판의 사용으로 시야각은 물론 빛 손실량이 크다는 단점과 광변조기로의 응용에 있어서는 큰 파장의존성이 있어 다중 파장의 빛 조절이 어렵고, 또한 입사편광을 왜곡한다는 단점을 가지고 있다. (중략)

Figure '8' type, passively-mode-locked erbium-doped-fiber ring laser was developed, incorporating a nonlinear loop mirror. Transmittance of the loop mirror was found to be dependent on the incident light intensity due to the non-reciprocal nonlinear phase shift, which enables the passive mode locking of the laser. Self-starting of stable mode locking was possible with only controlling the polarization controllers inside the cavity without any help of external perturbation or modulation. The mode-locked output pulse shape was discussed in relation with the transmission characteristics of nonlinear loop mirror.

Soliton pulse outputs are generated with figure '8' type erbium-doped fiber laser mode-locked by using a fiber loop mirror. The fiber loop mirror consists of an erbium-doped fiber amplifier at the one end of the loop, and 504 m-long dispersion-shifted fiber as a nonlinear medium. By pumping with a $1.48{\mu}m$ wavelength laser diode and adjusting the polarization controllers inside the loop, soliton pulses are generated with 1574 nm center wavelength and 1.2 nm linewidth. The soliton pulses are found randomly spaced within the fundamental period corresponding to cavity round trip time. The autocorrelation trace shows that the pulse width is 2.4 ps, which is in good agreement with the theoretical prediction. The pulsewidth- bandwidth product is found to be 0.348 which means that the pulses are nearly transform-limited.imited.

A normal incidence ellipsometer is fabricated to measure the optical anisotropy of a small spot whose diameter is less than $8.0{\mu}m$, by adding a beam splitter and a prism to the conventional rotating analyzer type ellipsometer. The polarizing actions of the added optical components are calibrated to improve the accuracy of the anisotropy measurement. The standard deviation of the optical anisotropy factor decreased to 0.00083, and the variation of the optical anisotropy factor of rutile versus sample azimuth angle variation also decreased to 0.015, after adoption of a non-polarizing beam splitter and a quarter wavelength phase retarder, followed by removal of the optical fiber and a careful choice of measurement wavelength.
