자유 공간 광통신 시스템에서 발생하는 대기 외란에 의한 광신호 변동을 억제하기 위하여 전광(all-optical) 자동 이득 조절(automatic gain controlled, AGC) 어븀 첨가 광섬유 증폭기(erbium-doped fiber amplifier, EDFA)를 활용할 때의 성능을 실험적으로 평가하였다. EDFA에 입력되는 광신호 입력을 -30 dBm과 -10 dBm으로 각각 설정하여 증폭기가 소 신호 영역과 포화 영역에서 동작할 때의 성능을 실험적으로 비교하였다. 이 때 광신호의 요동은 음향 광학 변조기(acousto-optic modulator, AOM)를 활용하여 구현하였다. 실험 결과로부터 EDFA가 소 신호 영역에서 동작하며, 피드백되는 증폭된 자발 방출(amplified spontaneous emission, ASE) 광 전력이 0 dBm으로 증폭기를 포화시킬 수 있는 경우에 가장 작은 광신호 요동 특성을 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

광섬유 브래그 격자(Fiber Bragg Grating, FBG)는 좁은 선폭과 적은 삽입손실 등의 뛰어난 스펙트럼 특성을 가지고 있어, 고밀도 파장분할 다중화 방식을 이용한 광통신 시스템과 여러 종류의 광섬유센서에 응용되고 있다. 브래그 격자의 광학적 스펙트럼을 능동적으로 조절하기 위하여, 광섬유에 열이나 스트레인을 인가하거나, 음파와 빛의 결합을 이용한 방법이 제안되었으며, 특히 음향 광학 브래그 격자 변조기(Acousto-Optic Superlattice Modulator)는 종 방향 음파(Longitudinal Acoustic Wave)를 이용하여 파장과 크기의 조절이 가능한 사이드 밴드(Side Band)를 생성해 내었다.

Third order correlation function is to be advantageous to detect unique features embedded in various random signals that are undtectable with second order correlation or power spectrum. In order paper, we will introduce a real time third order correlator which consists of a laser light source, an acousto-optical modulator with signal controlling circuitry, and a CCD camera connected to computer for image processing. With this correlator, the third order correlation pattern of a signal can be immediately obtained at the camera due to parallelnature of optical computing.

주파수 안정화 레이저 광원은 10-6 이상의 상대 불확도가 필요한 간섭계에서 널리 쓰이고 있으며 특히 변위 측정 시스템에서는 반드시 쓰이고 있다. 상용화된 많은 변위 측정 시스템은 신호 대 잡음비가 우수하고 광학계의 정렬이 더 쉬운 헤테로다인 방식을 채택하고 있으며 이를 위해서 서로 수직 선형 편광인 다른 주파수의 광을 내보내는 광원이 필요하다. 현재 헤테로다인 변위 측정 시스템에 쓰이고 있는 광원은 이중 주파수 광원을 만드는 방식에 따라 지만 효과(Zeeman effect)를 이용한 지만 레이저(HP사)와 음향-광 변조기(Acousto-optic modulator)를 이용한 이중 주파수 레이저(Zy해사)가 있다.

KIST에서는 Pulsed Laser를 사용하여 3차원 image를 재생할 수 있는 Electro-Holographic System을 만들어 CGH이미지를 구현하였다. CGH 이미지를 구현하기 위한 SLM (Spatial Light Modulator)으로 TeO$_2$ 결정의 Shear Mode 에서 동작하는 Bragg type의 다채널 AOSLM(Acousto-optic Spatial Light Modulator)이 사용되었다. 이 Bragg type 다채널 AOSLM에서는 광원이 특정 Bragg 각도로 입사하였을 때 다른 고위 차수는 억압되고 ＋나 -의 첫번째 차수의 회절 빔만이 형성된다.

Frequency characteristics of gain-saturated erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) are experimentally evaluated to mitigate the optical signal fluctuation induced by atmospheric turbulence in terrestrial freespace optical communication systems. Here, an acousto-optic modulator (AOM) is used to emulate optical signal fluctuations induced by atmospheric turbulence. The waveform which is generated in proportion to the refractive-index structural parameters is used to drive the AOM at various periodic frequencies. Thus, the dependence of the signal fluctuation suppression on the frequency is evaluated. The experiment is conducted using a periodic frequency sweep of the AOM driving voltage waveform and signal input power variation of the amplifier. It is observed that a low periodic frequency and high input signal power effectively suppress the optical signal fluctuation. This study evaluates the experimental results from the high-pass filter and gain-saturation characteristics of the EDFA.

We demonstrated an optical frequency synthesizer based on a femtosecond (fs) mode-locked Ti:sapphire (Ti:s) laser by simultaneously stabilizing the carrier-offset frequency, $f_{ceo}$, and repetition rate, $f_{ rep}$, referenced to the Cs atomic frequency standard. By using two wide-band digital phase-detectors we realized a phase-coherent link between $f_{rep} and f_{ceo} with the relation f_{ceo} = f_{AOM} 5/6f_{rep} ≡ 0, where f_{AOM} = 5/6f_{rep}$ is the phase-locked driving frequency of an acousto-optic modulator (AOM) in a self-referencing interferometer and $f_{rep}$ = 100 MHz. As a result, we could stabilize all components of the fs laser comb at once with an equal frequency separation $f_{rep}$ = 100 MHz with $f_{ceo}$ = 0. In our optical frequency synthesizer, the frequency of the nth component ($f_{n}$) is given exactly by the simple relation $f_n = nf_{rep}$, enabling us to use the fs laser comb as a frequency ruler in the optical frequency metrology.

We present an all-fiberized power-scalable, sub-nanosecond mode-locked laser based on a frequency-shifted-feedback ring cavity comprised of an erbium-doped fiber, a downshifting acousto-optic modulator (AOM), and a bandpass filter (BPF). With the aid of the frequency-shifted feedback mechanism provided by the AOM and the narrow filter bandwidth of 0.45 nm, we generate self-starting, mode-locked optical pulses with a spectral bandwidth of ~0.098 nm and a pulsewidth of 432 to 536 ps. In particular, the output power is readily scalable with pump power while keeping the temporal shape and spectral bandwidth. This is obtained via the consolidation of bound pulse modes circulating at the fundamental repetition rate of the cavity. In fact, the consolidated pulses form a single-entity envelope of asymmetric Gaussian shape where no discrete internal pulses are perceived. This result highlights that the inclusion of the narrow BPF into the cavity is crucial to achieving the consolidated pulses.

Organic ($Alq_3$) film, which was coated on a donor plate, was transferred to an organic light emitting diode (OLED) substrate with help of heat generated by a dithering laser beam. The laser beam was diffracted in an acousto-optic modulator (AOM), then focused on the laser-to-heat converting layer of the donor plate; the focused spot followed trajectories guided by rotation of a Galvano-mirror. Three different functional waveforms, sine wave, square wave, and saw tooth wave were applied to the AOM as modulation signal to generate the dithering beam. The fluorescence microscope images of the donor plate showed that the patterns of removed $Alq_3$ film were affected considerably by the modulation waveforms and the phase difference between adjacent dithering beams. Further, the printed images of Alq3 film on the OLED substrate were different from the patterns of removed Alq3 film. Atomic force microscope images indicated that not only direct transfer but also deposition by sublimated vapor of Alq3 contributed to the pattern formation. Printed patterns affected considerably the electricity-to-light conversion characteristics of OLEDs. For uniform transfer, not only the phase relation of dithering beam lines but also adequate waveform were important.

A study on the manufacturing of High Precision Linear Scalr using He-Ne Laser interference Of late, along with the advancement of precision machining technology, the requirement of super precision measurement increases as time goes on, and the accuracy of standard scale which is a basis of precision measurement has been cognized as a criterion of industrial development in a nationl. In this paper, we described on technology by which we could carve scale lines thru optical method under the condition of laboratory by using the coherence of He-Ne two-mode stabilized laser and in turn, put it to practical use as linear scale for the measurement of length. Hence in this research in the case of setting scale interval to 20 ${\mu}m$, we employed super precision scale-carving device associated with Ar laser and acousto optic modulator in lieu of flashing lamp scale-carving device, and we obtained as experimental result superior linear scales carved within the accuracy of ${\pm}$0.3${\mu}m$.
