We report a hybrid DPSSL with a pulse parameter variable LD seed, all-fiberized polarization-maintained pulsed Yb-doped fiber preamplifier chains, and a bulk Nd:$YVO_4$ power amplifier. Pulse parameter of LD seed was controlled by direct current modulation. The hybrid DPSSL generates 1064 nm laser pulses with an average power of 40W, a pulse duration of 20-40ns, and a repetition rate of 100-500kHz.

Using bi-direction SOA based Extension system, FTTH can enhance PON system by increasing both the upstream and downstream link budget. This increased link budget can be used to extend the distance, increase the split ratio or both. The bi-direction SOA regenerates signals using all-optical amplification, and is therefore transparent to data rate or protocol. The bi-direction SOA supports legacy as well as future FTTx standards. This is based on SOA's proprietary technology platform for the manufacturing of advanced discrete photonics and photonic integrated circuits (PICs). Because the bi-direction SOA uses the same InP semiconductor technology used in virtually all telecom lasers, it is able to amplify signals at 1310 and 1490 nm, wavelengths not accessible with commercial fiber-amplifier (EDFA) technology. Due to the extremely fast response time of the InP semiconductor optical amplifiers inside, the SOA can accommodate both continuous (downstream) and bursty (upstream) traffic.

This paper describes a proposed very fast transient overvoltages(VFTO) measurement system suited for established gas insulated switchgear(GIS). The detecting system consists of a shield electrode connected to a buffer amplifier, and the transmission of the detected signal to an oscilloscope is made through an optical fiber. The bandwidth of the measurement system is 5 Hz to 30MHz. When determining the voltage dividing ratio by use of the commercial frequency voltage, the error is less than 0.5 %. Also, the data were obtained by the electric field probe and the high voltage probe, and their deviation for voltage dividing ratio were less than 1 %.

In this letter, we demonstrate a technique for suppression of transients in output bursts of an erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) in an optical burst network. To suppress the transients, the EDFA is forward-fed by non-fluctuating input utilizing a power-modulated burst control packet channel. Using the technique, we obtained a maximum 1.7 dB reduction in gain transient in the EDFA output, and we transmitted 9.953 Gbps data bursts and 2.488 Gbps burst control packets stably.

채널 레벨 컨트롤러는 DWDM(Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) 방식의 OXC(Optical Cross Connect), OADM(Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer), 광 증폭기(EDFA : Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier) 둥의 시스템에서 채널별 광신호의 세기를 조절하여 시스템의 신뢰성을 높이는 중요한 제어기다. 본 논문에서는 12채널 VOA(Variable Optical Attenuator) 4개를 사용하여 40채널의 광 신호 레벨을 제어할 수 있는 컨트롤러를 구현하였다. 각 채널의 광 신호 레벨을 제어하는데 하나의 마이크로 프로세서가 5개의 채널을 제어하고 총 8개의 마이크로프로세서로 40채널을 분산 제어하도록 구성하였다. 또한 외부와 통신을 하고 사용자로부터의 명령을 각각의 마이크로프로세서에 전달하기 위한 마이크로프로세서를 추가하였으며, 출력되는 광 신호의 세기를 측정하여 VOA를 제어하는데 있어서 VOA 출력에서 바로 PD(Photo Detector)로 입력하여 AWC(Arrayed Waveguide Grating) 출력에서 광 신호를 다시 분파하여 PD에 입력하는 번거로움을 개선하였다.

지난 수년간 인터넷 보급에 따른 급격한 통신량 증가에 따른 요구는 차세대 통신 기술인 WDM을 구축하게 되었고 이에 따라 WDM 라우팅 기술과 스위칭 기술이 절실히 필요로 하게 되었다. WDM에 있어서 다른 경로나 목적지로 신호를 보내기 위해서는 신호의 파장이 변환 되어야 하므로 신호의 파장변환은 라우팅에 있어 핵심적인 기술 중 하나로 인식되어지고 있다 현재 사용되어지고 있는 전광 파장 변환기는 주로 SOA (Semiconductor Optical Amplifier)의 비선형 특성인 XGM, XPM, FWM등을 이용한 것으로서 편광 민감성, ASE에 의한 SNR 감소, 신호크기 변형과 높은 가격으로 인해 안정적인 파장변환기로 쓰기에는 다소 무리가 있다.

We demonstrate an ultra-dense wavelength-division- multiplexed (UD-WDM) passive optical network (PON) where 12.5-GHz spaced 1 GbE ${\times}$ 256 optical channels are distributed using 12.5- and 200-GHz arrayed waveguide gratings in series. For the generation of upstream signals, we use reflective semiconductor optical amplifiers. We use two optical fiber amplifiers at the optical line terminal to amplify downstream and upstream channels.

Two wavelength reconfigurable optical nodes are designed. One for 20km or shorter link length, and the other for up to 60km link length. While the first one requires no dispersion compensation, the latter needs dispersion compensation fiber included in the node, which requires additional optical amplifier to compensate the insertion loss of DCF. We calculate all the optical path losses in both cases using the typical value of optical components in the market to see the feasibility of the designed optical node. The minimum received power in the node is calculated to be -21.5dBm without DCF and -12.5dBm with DCF, respectively. These received powers are above the receiver sensitivity both for OC-48 and OC-192 according to the previous work.

In this study, we have fabricated a one-dimensional fiber-optic dosimeter for electron beam therapy dosimetry. Each fiber-optic dosimeter has an organic scintillator with a plastic optical fiber and it is embedded and arrayed in the plastic phantom to measure one-dimensional high energy electron beam profile of clinical linear accelerator. The scintillating lights generated from each sensor probe are guided by plastic optical fibers to the multi-channel photodiode amplifier system. We have measured one-dimensional electron beam profiles in a PMMA phantom according to different field sizes and energies of electron beam. Also, the isodose and three-dimensional percent depth dose curves in a PMMA phantom are obtained using a one-dimensional fiber-optic dosimeter with different electron beam energies.

We designed and fabricated a semiconductor optical amplifier-integrated dual-mode laser (SOA-DML) as a compact and widely tunable continuous-wave terahertz (CW THz) beat source, and a pin-photodiode (pin-PD) integrated with a log-periodic planar antenna as a CW THz emitter. The SOA-DML chip consists of two distributed feedback lasers, a phase section for a tunable beat source, an amplifier, and a tapered spot-size converter for high output power and fiber-coupling efficiency. The SOA-DML module exhibits an output power of more than 15 dBm and clear four-wave mixing throughout the entire tuning range. Using integrated micro-heaters, we were able to tune the optical beat frequency from 380 GHz to 1,120 GHz. In addition, the effect of benzocyclobutene polymer in the antenna design of a pin-PD was considered. Furthermore, a dual active photodiode (PD) for high output power was designed, resulting in a 1.7-fold increase in efficiency compared with a single active PD at 220 GHz. Finally, herein we successfully show the feasibility of the CW THz system by demonstrating THz frequency-domain spectroscopy of an ${\alpha}$-lactose pellet using the modularized SOA-DML and a PD emitter.
