A harmonically mode-locked fiber ring laser cavlty was theoretically analyzed. The measured charactenstlcs of a 10 GHz erbium-doped fiber ring laser were used as a basis of the theoretical analysis. From the nonlinear Schroedinger equation of an actively mode-locked erblUm-doped fiber laser. the effects of the components inside the laser cavity have been analyzed includmg nonlinear effects from group-velocity dispersion (GVD) and self-phase modulation (SPM). Usmg the analysls. we have designed a laser cavity with minimum pulsewidth and chirp by changing the intracavity optical intensity and the bandwidth of the filter. In the new design, the chirp i, reduced by 2 times and the pulsewidth by 2A times. compared to the laser used in the experiment. iment.

We have studied the generation of an array of dark spatial solitons in a self-deforcusing medium. Unlike a single fundamental dark spatial soliton, we show numerically that the generation of an array of dark spatial solitons from a spatially sinusoidal input beam needs an adiabatic amplification of nonlinear refractive index with the beam propagation distance. In experiment, we establish a Mach-Zehnder interferometer for making the sinusoidal input beam and use a cylindrical lens for the adiabatic amplification. We observe that the dark soliton's dip-width becomes narrower and the background intensity distribution becomes flatter with increasing the nonlinearity.

We propose a constant inversion black box model of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) for exact performance predictions for EDFAs operated in the gain-flattened condition. The validity of the newly proposed model was experimentally verified by predicting the performance of EDFAs for the L band, within 1.9% required pump power discrepancy. The role of ion pairing effects on the power conversion efficiency is also discussed. ussed.

Kelly$^{[1]}$ 이후 자체집광(self-focusing) 효과에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔으며, 이러한 자체집광 현상에 대한 연구들의 목적중 하나는 과연 자체집광 현상에 의하여 집광된 빛의 크기가 궁극적으로 어디까지 줄어들 수 있는가에 대한 답을 찾는 것이다. Feit와 Fleck의 수치해석 결과에 따르면 비근축근사(nonparaxiality)를 고려했을 때 비선형 흡수, 고차 비선형효과, 물질 손상 (material breakdown) 등 특별한 자체집광에 대한 포화 현상이 없이도 자체집광된 빛의 크기가 회절한계를 넘어서지 않고, 자체집광과 자체퍼짐(self- defocusing)이 반복하면서 전파되는 것을 알 수 있다$^{[2]}$ .

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.

위성에 탑재된 전자광학 카메라(Electro-Optical Camera)로부터 획득된 영상에서는 카메라의 스캔 방향과 통일한 방향으로 "줄무늬잡음"이 발생하게 된다. 이는 센서의 특성이 통일하지 않고, 우주라는 열악한 환경에서 영상의 획득이 일어나기 때문이다. 똔 논문에서는 줄무늬잡음을 제거하기 위해 비선형 보정방법을 제안한다. 영상의 준균일성(quasi-homogeneous)과 센서특성의 시불변성(time-invariancy) 가정을 바탕으로, 보정하려는 열의 이웃 열을 참조하여 줄무늬잡음에 의한 오차를 추정하고 이를 최소화한다. 줄무늬 잡음 정도를 추정하기 위해 줄무늬잡음을 바이어스에 의한 것과 특성곡선의 경향 차이에 의한 것으로 나눈다. 바이어스에 의한 오차는 센서가 스캔하는 방향과 통일한 방향으로 통계적 특성을 이용하여 추정한다. 특성곡선의 경향차에 의한 오차는 보정하려는 열에서 동일한 박기 레벨을 갖는 화소들을 조사하고, 이들과 이웃하는 열의 동일 위치에 있는 화소의 밝기 레벨의 통계적 특성을 파악하여 추정한다. 이렇게 추정된 오차를 최소화함으로써, 줄무늬잡음을 효과적으로 제거하였다.적으로 제거하였다.

One dimensional inhomogeneous phase modulation effects on the MTF of optical system was investigated. The lens under test was a doublet made in Korea. It was 36 mm effective diameter, 128.04 mm effective focal length. The ray-fans and spot diagrams were calculated and presented on the picture for on-axis and off-axis (field of view, $1^{\circ}$ and $2^{\circ}$). Phase modulation was carried out by positioning a phase modulator close contacted with the lens under test. One was linear type that had linearly increasing phase retardation and the other was stepped type which had phase difference $\pi$ for each step. The MTFs were measured on the Gaussian image plane and were compared with one another. The MTFs of linear type phase modulated apertures had a little lower values than the MTF of unmodulated aperture for on-axis but most of all the MTFs of one dimensional phase modulated aperture are improved than the MTF of unmodulated aperture.

A fresnoite glass-ceramics has been investigating considerably because of the second order nonlinearity as well as its permanent optical nonlinearity. However, the chemical compositions of transparent glass-ceramics examined in the previous studies have been limited to adjust the composition close to fresnoite stoichiometrically. In this study, to investigate the effect of strontium ions in glass-ceramics on second order nonlinearity, $K_2O-TiO_2-SiO_2$ (KTS) glasses soaked in molten $Sr(NO_3)_2$ were prepared. Crystalline phases of the soaked glasses were measured by X-ray diffraction (XRD) as soaking times and additional heat treatment. The exchange of strontium ions into the glass was verified by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM). And the phenomena of second order harmonic generation (SHG) was observed using Nd-YAG laser.

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.

다양하고 방대한 양의 정보를 효과적으로 처리, 분배하는 멀티미디어 정보통신 시스템이 광신호에 의한 처리를 통해 구현되어갈 전망이다. 이를 위해 빛을 발생시키는 발광소자, 빛을 검출하는 소광소자, 광신호를 처리하는 광신호 처리소자 그리고 광신호를 전달해주는 광섬유 및 화상정보의 표시를 위한 표시소자 등이 중요한 요소기술이다. 이같은 소자의 제작에 있어 기존 물질로는 요구에 대한 대응이 어려워 보다 우수한 성능의 소재개발이 요구된다. 이에 대한 대체물질로 최근 유기물 또는 고분자가 각광을 받고 있으며, 이를 사용한 소자개발이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이제까지 무기물로 달성하기 힘들었던 많은 기술들이 유기물로 쉽게 구현이 가능하게 되면 고성능의 소재 및 소자기술은 다가오느 정보화 시대를 더축 풍요롭게 하는데 크게 기여할 것이다.
