In this paper, we introduce a differential detector that automatically aligns itself to the signal beam in order to prevent the voltage variation that may result from minute misalignment of the light source. In this system, a photodiode-array recognizes the central point of the signal beam, and drives motors that correspond to the x and y axes. The photodiode-array aligns itself to the central point of the signal beam, and eliminates the optical noise effect with differential detectioin method. It is very useful in wireless optical interconnections.

Automatic optical alignment modules are a key technology in optical communication system. However, the optic component assembly depends highly on manual or semi-automated alignment process. In this paper, a novel alignment mechanism with minimum degree-of-freedom has been designed and theoretical models are derived from geometric optical characteristics on collimators, optical filters and optical ray alignment. The automatic alignment control algorithm has been newly developed based on the mechanism and models, and then we make fast, precise and reliable alignment through the algorithm. The reliability of developed modules has been verified with various simulations and performance evaluations.

Packaging takes an extremely important element of optical module cost due primarily to the added complication of alignment between semiconductor devices and optical fiber, and many efforts have been devoted on reducing the cost by eliminating the complicated optical alignment procedures in passive manner. In this study, we fabricated silicon optical benches on which the optical alignments are accomplished passively. To improve the positioning accuracy of a flip-chip bonded LD, we adopted fiducial marks and solder dams which are self-aligned with V-groove etch patterns, and a stand-off to control the height and to improve the heat dissipation of LD. Optical sub-assemblies exhibited an average efficiency of -11.75$\pm$1.75 dB(1$\sigma$) from the LD-to-single mode fiber coupling and an average sensitivity of -35.0$\pm$1.5 dBm from the fiber and photodetector coupling.

서로 인접한 두 개의 무선광통신 빔에서 발생하는 혼신을 소거하기 위하여 수신부에 편광기를 사용하였다. 광원측에서는 두 개의 레이저다이오드의 편파가 서로 수직하도록 설치하고 수신부에서는 각각의 편파에 일치하도록 편광기를 설치한 자동정렬형 광검출기를 구성하였다. 수신부의 포토다이오드는 각각의 편파에 일치하는 빔의 최대점을 찾아서 자동적으로 정렬한다. 두 개의 광원의 파장이 유사하여 광학적 필터로 혼신의 소거가 어려운 구간에서 이 구조를 사용하면 쉽게 혼신을 해소한다.

In this paper, we introduce a new photodetector configuration that automatically aligns its receiving angle to the incident signal light. Around the central photodiode that receives the optical signal, 4 photodiodes on ${\Phi}$-axis and 2 photodiodes on $\theta$-axis are installed in order to drive 2 step motors in f and $\theta$ direction. The photodetector completes angle-alignment within Isec to the signal light from an arbitrary direction.

We designed and fabricated a bidirectional optical transceiver module for low cost access network. An integrated chip forming a pin-PD on an 1.3 urn FP-LD was assembled by flip-chip bonding on a Si optical bench, a single mode fiber with an angled end facet was aligned passively with the integrated chip on V-groove of Si-optical bench. Gaussian beam theory was applied to evaluate the coupling coefficients as a function of some parameters such as alignment distance, angle of fiber end facet, vertical alignment error. The theory is also used to search the bottle-neck between transmittance and receiving coupling efficiency in the bi-directional optical system. Tn this paper, we confirmed that reduction of coupling efficiency by the vertical alignment error between laser beam and fiber core axis can be compensated by controlling the fiber facet angle. In the fabrication of sub-module, a'||'&'||' we made such that the fiber facet have a corn shape with an angled facet only core part, the reflection of transmitted laser beam from the fiber facet could be minimized below -35 dE in alignment distance of 2: 30 /J.m. In the same condition, transmitted output power of -12.1 dEm and responsivity of 0.2. AIW were obtained.

슬리브내에서 페룰을 통해 광섬유의 정렬이 이루어지는 광커넥터의 대부분의 접속구조에서 각 구성품간의 어긋남 비정렬요인이 중복되어 나타나게 되므로 접속손실이 매우 큰 영향을 받고 있다. 이러한 접속손실의 향상을 위해 선진 외국에서는 각 구성품의 정밀도 향상과 함께 구성품의 저손실화 조립연구도 수행하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 광섬유 출사면에서의 최대 광도부분을 회전조정하여 최소영역에서 두 광섬유가 정렬, 접속되게 하는 저손실화 조립 장치 개발과 관련하여, 임의로 조립된 상태와 본 연구에서 제안한 적응 제어 알고리즘 (Adaptive Control Algorithm)을 이용하여 광Intensity의 최대부분을 회전조정한 상태와의 삽입손실의 통계적 분포를 비교.분석하였다.

Its performance is feasible to satisfy the GE-PON ONU specifications with the results as less than 0.5dB coupling losses within 40um alignment of z-axis and less than -24dBm sensitivity. It also has good temperature characteristics to sustain optical output power more than 1.5mW and 10dB extinction ratio, less than 0.3dB tracking error.
