In this study, we developed a FFPI (fiber optic Fabry-Perot interferometer) pressure sensor using the Si diaphragm which measures pressure in vivo. The diaphragm and its supporting structure were etched in KOH solution and were fabricated with micromachining technology. For the configuration of the sensor, the length of the cavity of the Fabry-Perot etalon is 15 mm and one end of the etalon was bonded to a Si diaphragm with 507m thickness. When the area of the Si diaphragm was 2$\times$2 mm2 (cavity length 15 mm), it turns out that the pressure sensitivity was about 1.5 degree/kPa. The pressure sensor developed in this study showed that the phase change was linearly proportional to the increasing pressure in the range of 80 kPa.

A basic coherent optical transmission was demonstrated using FSK modulation and heterodyne detection scheme. Optical frequency of DFB LD light source at the transmitter side was stabilized with Fabry Perot etalon and bias feedback circuit. A tunable external cavity LD was used as a local oscillator at the receiver. Heterodyned output signal at IF frequency of 2GHz was measured and discussed.

간섭계의 광원으로 현재 레이저를 주로 사용하고 있다. 이러한 간섭계용 레이저의 조건은 선폭(linewidth) 이 좁아야 하고, 중심 주파수가 안정화 되어야 한다. 특히 거리용 간섭계의 경우, 주파수 안정화되어 있는 레이저가 사용되어 측정 불확도를 낮춘다. 그러나 점차 다축을 측정하기 위한, 또는 보다 넓은 영역을 측정하기 위해서는 보다 높은 출력의 레이저를 요하고 있다. 그러나 현재의 간섭계용 레이저는 헬륨네온 레이저로서 단일 모드 기준으로 2 mW 이하의 출력을 보이고 있어서 응용 면에 있어서 제약을 받는다. (중략)

We demonstrate the wavelength swept source and signal processing for the frequency domain optical coherence tomography. The laser output performance is improved by using a semiconductor optical amplifier with a booster amplifier. The laser generates 14 mW of average power of which wavelength shift in the lasing spectral shape is compensated. Adopting a Fabry-Perot etalon and digital signal processing, the broadening of the beat frequency due to the variance of wavelength-sweep-velocity is calibrated. The optical coherence tomography system shows 154.4 kHz of axial scanning speed, 0.95mm of depth range, and $12{\pm}0.37{\mu}m$ of axial resolution.

A transmission type color filter based on a thin film Ag-$SiO_2$-Ag etalon was proposed and realized in a quartz substrate. The device could acquire infrared suppressed transmission and wide effective area compared to costly e-beam lithography and laser interference lithography. The FDTD method was introduced to take into account the effect of the dispersion characteristics of the silver metal and the thickness thereof. Three different color filters were devised: The cavity length for the red, green and blue filters were 160 nm, 130 nm, and 100 nm respectively, with the metal layer unchanged at 25 nm. The observed center wavelengths were measured at 650 nm, 555 nm, and 480 nm for the red, green, and blue devices; the corresponding bandwidths were about 120 nm, 100 nm, and 120 nm; and the peak transmission for all was ~60%. Finally the relative transmission was measured to decline with the angle of the incident beam with the rate of 1%/degree.

A mobile Rayleigh Doppler wind LIDAR at an eye-safe wavelength of 355 nm incorporating double-edge technique with triple-channel Fabry-Perot etalon is developed for wind measurement from 5 to 40km. The structure of this LIDAR system is described. An intercomparsion experiment with rawinsonde is made, showing good agreement with expected measurement accuracy. A continuous observation of stratosphere wind field for several days with temporal resolution of 15 min and spatial resolution of 200 m from 5 to 40 km is presented, demonstrating the stability and robustness of the LIDAR. A stratospheric quasi-zero wind layer can be found at around 20 km with a direction change from east to west evident in the continuous observation.

We have fabricated a Fabry-Perot etalon around $1.3\;{\mu}m$ wavelength utilizing $Al_{2}O_3$ and a-Si thin films. A full width at half maximum of ${\sim}12.1nm$ and a finesse value of 53 were found from the measured resonant transmission spectra. Single thin film of $Al_{2}O_3$ was analyzed by spectroscopic ellipsometry. A refractive index of a-Si thin film was measured as 3.120 in the real part and 0.002 in the imaginary part, respectively. The thin-film pairs of $Al_{2}O_3$ and a-Si are applicable to output mirrors of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers at $1.3{\mu}m$ waveband.

Periodic gratings for 1.55$\mu$m distributed feedback laser diode (DFB LD) have been fabricated by a holographic interference exposure system using an etalon stabilized Ar ion laser. We obtain a good development condition at developer concentration of 65% and obtain etching rate of 1000$\AA$/min at 20.deg. C by the mixed solution HBr:HNO$_{3}$:H$_{2}$O(1:1:10 in volume ratio). We obtain good first order grating with period of 2400${\AA}[\pm}2{\AA}$ at etching time of 45 sec from grating period and diffraction efficiency measurement, and SEM observation of grating fabricated on InP substrate.

An optical true-time delay beam-forming system using a tunable dispersion compensating module (DCM) for dense-wavelength division modulation (DWDM) and a multiwavelength fiber ring laser for a phased array antenna is proposed. The multiwavelength fiber ring laser has one output that includes four wavelengths; and four outputs that include only single-wavelength. The advantage of such a multiwavelength fiber ring laser is that it minimizes the number of devices in the phased array antenna system. The time delays according to wavelengths, which are assigned for each antenna element, are obtained from the tunable DCM. The tunable DCM based on a temperature adjustable Fabry-Perot etalon is used. As an experimental result, a DCM could be used to obtain the change of the beam angle by adjusting the dispersion value of the DCM at the fixed lasing wavelengths of the fiber ring laser in the proposed optical true-time delay.
