레이저 다이오드 구동 전류펄스기간의 발진주파수 변조와 간섭계 출력신호의 시간지연 샘플링을 이용하여 3x3 coupler등과 같은 특수 광부품을 사용하지 않고도 1개씩의 광원과 광검출기를 이용하여 측정신호의 변화방향과 함께 half fringe의 수를 count할 수 있으며 광연결선 주변환경의 변화에 의한 세기변화 에러도 피할 수 있는 간섭형 센서를 위한 새로운 신호처리방식을 제안하고 이 방식을 거울내장형 FP간섭계를 이용한 온도센서에 적용하였다. 온도센서소자로 cavity length가 1cm인 FP간섭계를 이용하여 실온에서 360.deg.C에 걸쳐 분해능 2.7.deg.C로 측정하였으며 이때 최대측정속도는 $ 1.378*10^{5}$.deg.C/sec로 계산되었다. 이 방식에서 분해능과 최대측정속도는 반비례 관계를 가지며 감지 광섬유의 길이에 비례하여 분해능을 높일 수 있다. 또한 6개까지의 센서소자를 한개의 광원과 광검출기로 모니터하는 다중화 센싱 또한 가능한 신호처리 방식으로써 불평형 간섭계를 이용한 모든 종류의 센서에 대해 적용이 가능하다.

We present interferometric modulators that reproduce RGB colors through the selective actuation of mechanically coupled mirror arrays having identical air gaps. The conventional transmittive interferometric modulators need additional backlights, which leads to high power consumption. The previous reflective interferometric modulators using ambient lights need three different air gaps for reproducing the three RGB colors, thus giving rise to process complexity. For process simplicity, we propose the use of reflective interferometric modulators that are capable of producing green, blue, red, and black colors with the aid of mechanically coupled mirrors with identical air gaps. In an experimental study, the present interferometric modulators reproduce green, blue, and red colors at the switching modes (000), (010), and (101). The spectrum peaks for the colors are measured at the wavelengths $511{\pm}5nm$, $478{\pm}3nm$, and $644{\pm}9nm$, respectively, with the bandwidths being $60{\pm}1nm$, $45{\pm}2nm$, and $105{\pm}4nm$, respectively; further, the maximum intensities of the colors are $77{\pm}5%$, $73{\pm}2%$, and $81{\pm}5%$, respectively. The black spectrum is measured below the intensity of $27{\pm}0%$. Thus, we experimentally demonstrate the color reproduction capability of interferometric modulators fabricated by using a simple process.

We have numerically solved rate-equations of semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) to understand the characteristics of SOA. The rate-equations we have used can describe injection carrier density, amplified spontaneous emission and signal photon density in spatial and time domain by dividing the cavity into multi-section. We have investigated injection carrier density, amplified spontaneous emission and signal photon density as a function of position and time in the case of single channel input in the form of square pulse. Also we have analyzed the non-linear phenomena of SOA in the case of injecting multi-channel wavelengths as in WDM. Intermodulation distortion (IMD) caused by beat among channels has significant effects on the signal distortion as the channel spacing becomes narrower, and channel crosstalk becomes larger as the power of signals increases. In the case of the injection of another CW laser whose wavelength is far enough from the signal wavelengths, the crosstalk and the output signal distortion can be significantly reduced. duced.

21세기 정보기반사회에서는 정보처리량의 증가로 인한 대용량 정보 교환을 위하여 신호처리의 고속화/광대역화가 요구되어진다. 완전 광통신망의 구축에 의한 대용량의 광통신을 위해서는 고속이며, 집적화가 가능한 저가의 광전자 소자 개발이 필요하다. 광전자 소자 중 전기-광학 변조 효과를 이용한 광소자의 구현을 위한 소재로서 극성 배향된 비선형 광학 유기고분자 소재는 가공성이 뛰어나 원하는 형태의 광도파로로 제조할 수 있다는 장점에 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 아직 전기광학계수의 향상과 더불어 유기고분자가 가지고 있는 열 및 광화학적 안정성이 낮은 기본적인 문제점과 폴링(poling)에 의해 배향된 극성이 시간에 따라 완화되는 문제의 해결이 요구되고 있다. 이러한 문제점 해결을 위한 기초 연구로 유기물을 졸-겔 매트릭스에 나노 사이즈로 분산하는 방법으로 유기물의 내화학적 안정성을 향상하고자 시도하였다. 잘 알려져 있는 바와 같이 유/무기 하이브리드 졸-겔 재료는 광 투광성이 우수하고 저온에서의 재료 합성과 저가 공정이 가능하여 광기능성 유기물의 호스트(host) 재료로 많이 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 MTMS(methyltrimethoxysilane)과 TEOS (tetra-ethoxyorthosilicate)를 0-100 mol%로 혼합하고 가수분해하는 방법으로 친수성/친유성 특성을 제어하여, 분산되는 유기물의 사이즈를 조정하였다. 각 실험 조건에 따른 유기물 분산체의 크기를 SEM 및 TEM으로 관찰하였으며, 나노 사이즈로 분산된 유/무기 졸-겔 코팅막의 광학적 특성을 프리즘 커플러를 이용하여 조사하였다.

In this paper, we reduced the optical noise interference using polarizers in a visible light communication system. In a transmitter, two light-emitting diodes(LEDs) are modulated synchronously by the original and the reversed signals of the transmitted data, and the two LED lights are radiated through orthogonal polarizers. In a receiver, two optical signals are detected through orthogonal polarizers and differentially amplified to remove the optical noise. In an environment that noise light from a fluorescent lamp is much stronger than the signal, the receiver with orthogonal polarizers removed the 120 Hz noise, and synchronous light transmission of the original and the reversed signals using two LEDs reduced the illumination flickering to about one-eighth that using one LED.

We evaluate the degradation of receiver sensitivity induced by direct and indirect exposure to solar irradiance in free-space optical communication systems. For this purpose, we calculate the variances of numerous noise components arising from solar irradiance, and then estimate the receiver sensitivity penalties for intensity-modulation/direct-detection and coherent systems. The results show that the penalties are less than 1.3 dB when indirect sunlight impinges on the detector, regardless of the system. However, the sensitivity penalties are estimated to be larger than 30 dB when the sunlight is directly incident upon the receiver. These penalties are barely reduced if we insert an optical polarizer, or if we adjust the bandwidth of an optical filter at the receiver to be as narrow as the signal's bandwidth.

We report the surface photovoltage (SPV) properties of $In_{0.49}Ga_{0.51}P$/GaAs heterostructure grown by metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD). The SPV measurements were studied as a function of modulation beam intensity, modulation frequency and temperature. From a line shape analysis of room temperature derivative surface photovoltage (DSPV) spectrum, the band gap energies for GaAs and $In_{0.49}Ga_{0.51}P$ transitions were 1.400 and 1.893 eV respectively. The surface photovoltage (SPV) increases with increasing the light intensity and temperature, whereas the SPV decreases with increasing the modulation frequency. From the temperature variation of the energy gaps, we have analysis by both Varshni and Bose-Einstein type expressions.

We present a method to improve encryption level by use of a rotational term in the double random-phase-mask(RPM) encryption system. Encrypted optical images are recorded in a photorefractive LiNbO$_3$:Fe crystal and reconstructed by using a phase conjugated reading beam. The encryption level for the analog image is analyzed by use of visibility function.

Degradation of the optical communication system due to the stimulated Brillouin scattering effect in the optical fiber is measured, and its suppression is demonstrated. In the externally modulated 2.5 Gb/s transmission experiment, bit error rate is increased due to the stimulated Brillouin scattering effect when the signal power (linewidth 3 MHz) incident into the dispersion shifted fiber is larger than 10 dBm. SBS effect is suppressed completely, up to 15 dBm of transmission power, by broadening the source linewidth to 200 MHz.

A fiber-optic liquid level sensor based on bending cantilever beam has been proposed. A fiber Bragg grating(FBG) embedded in the cantilever beam is used to sensing elements. The basic concept is elongation and constriction of the FBG corresponding to the liquid level variation. The best FBG position on the cantilever for obtaining the high sensitivity was 4 cm from the fixing point. When the liquid level moves up and down vertically, the Bragg wavelength is linearly shifted. But, the wavelength sensitivity of the FBG installed on the upper side of cantilever was four times better than that of the FBG equipped in the lateral side due to the difference of unit strain applied to the FBG. Intensity demodulation using the low-cost edge filter is used to interrogate the Bragg wavelength through converting the wavelength signals into the optical intensity ones. Experiment results show that the electrical output is exponentially proportional to the liquid level. But, it should be overcome for applying to the ships.
