We report the characterization of a wavelength-swept laser (WSL) using a polygon-based wavelength scanning filter and two semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). The output intensity and scanning bandwidth of the WSL depend on the position of the two SOAs in the laser cavity and the coupling ratio of the output fiber coupler. The outputs of the WSL are characterized for coupling ratios of 10%, 30%, 50%, 70%, and 90% for the output fiber coupler. In the setup in which the output fiber coupler is located between the two SOAs, high output power and wide scanning bandwidth can be achieved with an optimized configuration. Using the optimized configuration of the WSL, the intensity increases with the coupling ratio. These results can be used to construct an optimized WSL using the polygon-based wavelength scanning filter.

The AWG-filtering effect was investigated on a bidirectional 100-GHz-channel-spacing WDM-PON link using spectrum-sliced and RSOA-amplified light sources for downstream signals and a wavelength reuse technique for upstream signals. Signal performances of three different filtering AWGs, including Gaussian, trapezoidal, and rectangular types, were compared on link transmission with fiber nonlinear effects. As an extinction ratio of a downstream signal varied, the effect for both directional signals was analyzed and optimized. It was found that there was an optimal pass bandwidth of an AWG for the balance between relative intensity noise decrement and cross phase modulation noise increment as the bandwidth got wider.

We have been implemented 10 Gb/s-320 km of dispersion-shifted fiber (DSF) transmission. The optical link consists of a 10 Gb/s optical transceiver, an optical booster amplifier, 3 sets of optical in-line amplifiers, an optical preamplifier and transmission fibers. Firstly, we investigated the Q-factor characteristics in terms of optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) of 320 km of DSF, measured receiver sensitivity is -27 dBm and power penalty is 2 dB, respectively. We concluded that optical SNR degradation and path penalty gives rise to 1 dB penalty, respectively.

EDFA (Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier) is widely used to compensate the loss in fiber optic transmission system. The characteristics of EDFA are investigated by analyzing the mechanism amplifying the optical power of an input with several factors to obtain the criteria for designing EDFA. When it is used in fiber optic transmission system, signal to noise characteristics in the receiver is deteriorated due to the spontaneous emission noise of EDFA. We investigate the operating conditions of EDFA to reduce BER (Bit Error Rate).

This study is on the design of 10Gbps CMOS receiver circuits for fiber-optic communication. The receiver is made up of a photodiode, a transimpedance amplifier, a limiting amplifier, an equalizer, a clock and data recovery loop circuit, and a demultiplexer or demux with some auxiliary circuits including I/O circuits. Various wideband or high-speed circuit techniques are harnessed to realize a feasible, effective, and reliable receiver for a SONET fiber-optic standard, OC-192.

파장 분할 다중 방식을 사용하는 모든 전광 통신망은 파장 재사용과 routing를 위해 반드시 파장 변환기를 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 반도체 광 증폭기와 반도체 레이저를 수평 결합시킨 새로운 구조를 제안함으로써 기존의 파장 변환기가 가졌던 문제점들을[1][2][3] 해결하고자 한다. 두개의 모드가 약하게 결합되었을 때는 그 파의 크기나 전파상수는 서로 영향을 미치게 된다. 예를 들면 수평결합 파장가변 LD[4]나 방향성 결합 파장 변환기[5]는 이 특성을 이용한 소자이다. 본 논문에서 제안된 소자도 이러한 결합모드 특성을 이용하였다.

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a photonic microwave notch filter with a negative coefficient. The negative coefficient is obtained by using cross gain modulation (XGM) in a reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA). When the RSOA is operated in saturated region, the signal carried on the pump wavelength is inversely copied to the probe wavelength by the XGM effect, showing a negative coefficient. Time delay between pump signal and probe signal is provided by single mode fiber (SMF) with wavelength dependent time delay. The proposed microwave notch filter shows notch dips of more than 35.1 dB and free spectral range (FSR) of about 380.6 MHz.

Digital communication systems are required to cause the minimum interference to adjacent channels, they must therefore employ the linear power amplifiers. In respect to linear power amplifiers, there are many linearization techniques. Feedforward power amplifier represent very wide bandwidth and high linearization capability. In the feedforward systems, overall efficiency is reduced due to the loss of delay line. In this paper, delay filter instead of transmission delay line adapted to get more high efficiency. Experimental results showed that ACLR (Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio) has improved 17.43(dB), which is added 3.44(dB) by using the delay filter.

낮은 도핑의 silicon은 광통신에서 사용하는 1.3 및 1.55 um의 광파장 영역에서 0.01dB/cm 이하의 낮은 흡수 손실을 가짐으로 인해, core 층으로 silicon을 사용하며 상부 및 하부 cladding 층으로 SiO$_2$와 같은 유전체 박막 구조를 갖는 SOI (Silicon on Insulator)를 사용한 수동광소자에 대한 연구가 1990년대부터 진행되고 있다. 또한 silicon의 특성상 SOI는strain에 의한 영향이 낮고, 광학적 비등방성이 적어서 polymer 및 silica를 이용한 광소자에 비해 편광의존도가 낮은 광소자를 구현할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 현재까지 연구되어온 SOI 수동광소자의 연구결과는 TE/TM 편광차에 따른 채널분리도가 약 0.04nm, 누화특성이 23dB 인 8채널 AWG의 연구결과가 있었으며, 스위칭시간 < 1msec, 소광비 17 dB의 광결합기와 마하젠더가 혼합된 광변조기 및 Bookham사에서 개발한 RX/TX 양방향 송수신 광모듈에 적용된 1.3/l.55 um 파장선택적 분리기, Silicon-CMOS 증폭기와 집적화된 4channel 광다중 수신기등에 대한 연구결과가 있었다.
