Rayleigh scattering and laser induced predissociative fluorescence are employed for capturing two-dimensional images of temperature and species concentration in a laminar nonpremixed flame of a diluted hydrogen jet. Rayleigh scattering cross-sections are experimentally obtained at 248nm. Dispersed LIPF spectra of OH and O₂ are also measured in a flame in order to confirm the excitation of single vibronic state of OH and O₂are excited on the P₁(8) line of the A ²∑+ (v＇=3) - X ²∏(v˝=0) band and R(17) line of the Schumann-Runge band B ³∑u- (v＇=0) - X ³∑g-∏(v˝=6), respectively. Fluorescence spectra of OH and Hot O₂ are captured and two-dimensional images of the hydrogen flame field are successfully visualized.

We demonstrate a k-domain linearization using a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) array for Fourier domain optical coherence tomography based on a wavelength swept laser. The k-domain linearization is carried out with an interpolation method using a FBG array with five FBGs. The measured signal-to-noise ratio from the point spread function after k-domain linearization is 12 dB improved over that of without k-domain linearization at the 1 mm depth of the sample. Clear OCT imaging of the slide glass with k-domain linearization could be obtained.

We report a resonance fiber Bragg sensor interrogation based on a Fourier domain mode-locking (FDML) laser. The FDML laser is constructed based on a conventional ring laser cavity configuration with fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter (FFP-TF). There are two sensor parts which are composed with two FBGs inside the laser cavity. Each sensor part provides a separate laser cavity for the FDML laser. The resonance frequencies of the laser cavities are 46.687 kHz and 44.340 kHz, respectively. We applied a static and a dynamic strain on the FBG sensor system. The slope coefficients of the measured relative wavelength shift and relative time interval from the static strain are found to be $0.61pm/{\mu}{\epsilon}$ and $0.8ns/{\mu}{\epsilon}$, respectively.

We demonstrate a wavelength swept mode-locked ring laser for the frequency domain optical coherence tomography(FD OCT). A laser is constructed by using a semiconductor optical amplifier, fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter and 2.6 km fiber ring cavity. Mode-locking is implemented by 2.6 km fiber ring cavity for matching the fundamental or harmonic of cavity roundtrip time to a sweep period. The wavelength sweeps are repetitively generated with the repetition period of 77.2 kHz which is the parallel resonance frequency of Fabry-Perot tunable filter for the low driving current consumption of the fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter. The wavelength tuning range of the laser is more than FWHM of 61 nm centered at the wavelength of 1320 nm and the linewidth of the source is $0.014{\pm}0.002$ nm.

Dynamic characteristics of widely tunable SGDBR/SSGDBR laser diodes integrated with an electroabsorption modulator is inestigated using an improved large-signal timef-domain model. First, wide tunning properties of a SGDBR laser diode and a SSGDBR laser diode are analyzed respectively and compared with each other. And, intensity-modulation characteristics of a SGDBR laser diode incorprating an electroabsorption modulator are investigated. It is shown that an external modulation has the lower frequency chirp by 1/20 for almost same extinction ratios than a direct modulation, and a nearly transform-limited pulse train can be generated using the optical gating of an electroabsorption modulator.

We present the fabrication and performance of wavelength tunable butt coupled (BT) sampled-grating (SG) distributed bragg reflector (DBR) - planar buried heterostructure (PBH) laser diodes (LD). The fabricated LD showed the high optical output power due to the high coupling efficiency between active and passive components by the BT coupling methods. The series resistance and diode ideality factor of LD were measured to be 3.7 $\Omega$ and 1.35, respectively. The average threshold current was 25 ㎃. The output powers of BT-SG DBR-PBH-LD were obtained to be as high as 12.3 and 24.56 ㎽ at 100 and 200 ㎃, respectively. The maximum wavelength tuning range was about 31 nm and the side mode suppression ratio was about 37 dB.

EFPI (extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer) 센서를 이용해 복합재료의 파손 신호를 취득하기 위해서는 파손 신호에 비해 상대적으로 낮은 주파수의 열적, 기계적 정적 변형에 의해 발생하는 위상 변화를 보상해 주는 기술이 필요하다. 또한 센서의 민감도를 최적화하기 위해 출력 신호의 위상을 Quadrature 지점에 유지시켜야 한다. 본 논문에서는 EFPI 센서 시스템의 출력 신호위상을 일정하게 유지시킬 수 있는 안정화 제어 시스템을 개발하였다. 안정화 제어 시스템은 광대역 파장 레이저 광원, 가변 F-P (Fabry-Perot) 필터 그리고 필터를 제어한 수 있는 전자 회로시스템으로 구성하였다. 개발된 시스템의 위상 제어 성능을 평가하기 위해 복합재료 시편의 인장 실험을 수행하여 인장 변형에 의해 발생하는 위상 변화를 개발된 시스템을 이용해 Quadrature 지점에 일정하게 유지할 수 있음을 보였다. 또한 연필심 파손 실험을 통해 개발된 시스템이 파손 신호를 잘 취득할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

We propose optical true time-delays (TTDs) for phased-array antennas (PAAs) composed of 2${\times}$2 MEMS switches and fiber delay lines, and implement a TTD which shows a maximum scan angle of $120^{o}$ with $30^{o}$ resolution. Since this structure uses only one fixed wavelength laser diode, it provides several advantages such as easy control, high speed operation, and low cost compared with those of the optical TTDs using tunable laser sources. We design a four element linear PAA using the proposed TTDs at 10 ㎓. Simulation results show that the maximum gain is 11.6 dB at the radiation angle $0^{o}$, 11.2 dB at $\pm$$30^{o}$, and 10.6 dB at $\pm$$60^{o}$.

Design and fabrication of a TCRR (Triple-coupler Ring Resonator) filter which can provide a doubled FSR (Free Spectral Range) compared with a conventional DCRR (Double-coupler Ring Resonator) filter, are discussed. Through the use of a polymer material with a good thermo-optic property and with high contrast between core and cladding polymer, a compact TCRR filter composed of straight and curved buried waveguides of small radius is designed and fabricated. The transmission characteristics from the through and drop ports are measured using a tunable laser and a fiber array block, and the FSR is observed to be 4.4 nm, about twice that of DCRR filter, and almost the same as that obtained from the analysis using a transfer matrix method.
