The integrated external cavity laser has been fabricated with a 1550 nm FP-LD, an optical filter, a micro ball lens and accurate ceramic blocks using a micro-block stacking (MBS) technique. The integrated external cavity laser module whose size is only $2.0{\times}2.1{\times}0.7\;mm^3$ has been mounted on the TO-CAN package. For the case of the 1.8% transmission filter, the single mode characteristic has been obtained with the optical power of -27.1 dBm and the SMSR of 31.7 dB.

Rectangular dielectric waveguides, the most fundamental and indispensible elements in integrated optics, have been investigated by many researchers with various approaching methods including from the relatively approximate techniques to the numerical method. In this paper, the optimum equivalent waveguide model is adopted which is determined by a perturbation feedback process for analyzing the propagation constant by means of computer simulation, we have ascertained that the propagation constant from perturbation feedback method gives the best approximate value because it coincide with more exact value than obtained by other approximating methods. The technique also provides analytical expression for the modal field profile that should be useful in the design of various integrated optical devices.

집적광학 회로의 구성요소 중 광 결합기는 파장에 따른 채널간 결합기로써 WDM은 물론 광 스위칭 소자로서 매우 중요한 위치에 있다. 더우기 수직형의 구조를 갖는 광결합기가 새로이 제안되면서 결합 길이를 줄여 전체 소자길이를 감소시킴으로써 고집적화는 물론, 도파로를 진행하는 동안 겪게되는 도파 손실을 최소화하려는 움직임 또한 활발하다. 그러나 이들 수직형 광결합기는 결합효율을 높이기 위하여 대부분 상 하부 도파로의 구조가 동일한 대칭형으로 제작됨에 따라, 이들은 매우 까다롭고 복잡한 공정을 갖게된다. 또한 이러한 공정의 복잡성과 두 도파로의 대칭성을 위한 반복작업은 오히려 제작공정의 불완전함으로 인하여 이론상의 이상적 결합에 비하여 효율이나 성능 면에서 상당한 저하를 가져오게 된다. 최근 연구되고있는 대부분의 폴리머를 이용한 광 결합기 역시 대칭형 구조를 가지며 $O_2$ RIE(Reactive ion etching) 건식 식각법으로 제작된다.$^{[1]}$ (중략)

We investigated a Ti:LiNbO$_3$ based integrated-optic polarization controller with a Ti-indiffused waveguide along the z-axis utilizing the electro-optic effect. The device consists of a first quarter-wave (λ/4) phase-shifter followed by a half-wave(λ/2) and a second quarter-wave(λ/4) wave-plate, which is rotated synchronously with the first quarter-wave phase-shifter. We analyzed the operation principles of the device utilizing cascaded transfer matrices based on Jones matrix and Poincare sphere, simulated driving voltages for various input states of polarization (SOP), and theoretically confirmed transformations from any arbitrary input SOP into any general output SOP.

A light deflector integrated laser diode(LD) was fabricated and the characteristics of LD and ourput beam deflection as a function of deflector injection current were measured. To integrate the deflector with LD, a passive waveguide was integrated with the LD and a triangular-type light deflector was fabricated on the upper clad of the passive waveguide section. Light deflection from the fabricated light deflector is controlled by the effective refractive index variation induced by carrier injection. To characterize the effect of the deflector injection current, threshold current, slope efficiency, and output beam spectrum were measured as a function of deflector injection current. From these measured data, the increment in the threshold current and the decrement of the slope efficiency were observed. However, the output beam spectrum was not affected by the deflector. The Beam Propagation Method(BPM) was used to simulate the proposed device and the light deflection was measured by the far-field pattern of the output beam as a function of the deflector injection current. In the fabricated deflector integrated LD, the deflection angle of 1.9$^{\circ}$ at the injection current of 15 ㎃ was obtained.

The performance evaluation and fabrication of integrated-optic electric-field sensor utilizing $Ti:LiNbO_3$ asymmetric Mach-Zehnder intensity modulator with a push-pull lumped electrode and a plate-type probe antenna to measure an electric field strength is described. The modulator has a small device size of $46{\times}7{\times}1\;mm$ and operates at a wavelength $1.3{\mu}m$. The devices are simulated based on the BPM software and fabricated utilizing Ti-diffused $LiNbO_3$ channel optical waveguides. The minimum detectable electric field is 1.02 V/m and 6.91 V/m, corresponding to a dynamic range of ~35 dB and ~10 dB at the frequencies of 500 KHz and 5 MHz, respectively.

We have demonstrated a $Ti:LiNbO_3$ electro-optic electric-field sensors utilizing a $1{\times}2$ Y-fed balanced-bridge Mach-Zehnder interferometric (YBB-MZI) modulator which uses a 3-dB directional coupler at the output and dipole patch antenna. The operation and design were proved by the BPM simulation. A dc switching voltage of ~16.6 V and an extinction ratio of ~14.7 dB are observed at a wavelength of $1.3{\mu}m$. For a 20 dBm rf power, the minimum detectable electric-fields are ~1.12 V/m and ~3.3 V/m corresponding to a dynamic range of about ~22 dB and ~18 dB at frequencies 10 MHz and 50 MHz, respectively. The sensors exhibit almost linear response for the applied electric-field intensity from 0.29 V/m to 29.8 V/m.

Fluorinated polyimide has excellent light transmittance and a high optical refractive index, and is useful for producing optical-waveguide phase modulators with low optical loss and low electric power consumption. In this work, an optical-waveguide phase modulator is designed and fabricated based on a high-refractive-index fluorinated polyimide, and its characteristics are measured. An efficient protocol for characterizing the loss components of the optical waveguide is proposed, and the propagation loss of the fabricated polyimide optical waveguide is confirmed to be 0.9 dB/cm. The phase modulator requires 9.1 mW of power for phase change of π, and the response time is 290 μs, which is improved by tenfold compared to a previous demonstration of polymeric phase modulators.
