We have evaluated the performance of an all-optical automatic gain-controlled (AGC) erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) to suppress the optical signal fluctuation induced by atmospheric turbulence in terrestrial free-space optical communication systems. In our measurements, the input power into the EDFA was set to be -30 dBm and -10 dBm to operate the amplifier in the small-signal and saturation regions, respectively. The fluctuations in the optical signal were emulated with an acousto-optic modulator driven with a sinusoidal voltage. From the measured results, we have found that an all-optical AGC EDFA could suppress the optical signal fluctuation effectively, as long as the EDFA operated in the small-signal region with a high feedback amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) power.

In this paper, we describe the performance degradation of satellite Wibro system and compensation method in the high-speed railroad channel environment. High-speed railroad channel environment is divided into LOS channel and tunnel. In the LOS channel, signal blocking caused by railroad power feeder structures can be a critical problem which is can be solved with antenna diversity. On the other hand, multi path interference phenomenon, representable by propagation model of Optic Fiber, occurred in the tunnel may be another obstacle. These satellite Wibro system performance degradations in railroad channel environment are addressed and adequate compensation methods are proposed and verified through computer simulation. In addition, the ICI caused by Doppler shift in OFDM system is analyzed with its compensation method.

기존에 영상 내에 원형 검출 방법으로 가장 널리 사용되는 방법은 허프 변환에 기초한다. 허프 변환은 해석적 곡선의 각 점을 원의 중심 좌표와 반지름으로 매핑 시키는 과정을 포함한다. 이러한 과정은 실행시간을 매우 많이 필요로 하고 또한 응용에 따라서 최적인 원 근사화 방법을 찾는데 문제점을 야기하기도 한다. 본 논문에서는 원형 모양인 광 연결 소자 장치로 제한된 응용환경에 대해 원 검출을 빠른 속도로 탐색하는 방법과 최적인 원 근사화 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 에지 검출과 검출된 에지를 이용한 중심좌표 및 반지름 탐색 그리고 최적화된 원 근사화 방법으로 구성된다. 모의실험을 통하여 제안한 방법은 기존의 오픈라이브러리로 제공되는 OpenCV의 허프 변환에 의한 방법에 비해 원 검출 및 근사화 방법에 있어 성능을 개선할 수 있음을 보인다.

We demonstrate a ring type wavelength swept laser incorporating a fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter in a laser cavity using 1300 nm semiconductor optical amplifier as a gain medium. The output characteristics of the wavelength swept laser according to the applied scanning frequencies are analyzed in the temporal and spectral domain. The output of the wavelength swept laser decreases dramatically as the scanning frequency increases. And there is a significant peak power imbalance between the forward scan and the backward scan as the scanning frequency increases. Its use in practical applications might be limited.

Optical subcarrier-multiplexed (OSCM) labels in optical label switching networks have been detected using interleavers composed of fiber-optic Mach-Zehnder interferometer. 10-GHz optical single-/double-sideband signals generated from dual-electrode Mach-Zehnder intensity modulator have been used as the OSCM labels. In the case of single-sideband signals, the upper-sideband was observed to be suppressed about 16.8 dB compared with the lower-sideband from the optical spectrum measured at the label extraction output. For the case of double-sideband signals, both sidebands appeared with small insertion loss at the interleaver output. Since we used the phase-shift method to generate single-sideband signals, the power level of the single-sideband was higher by 3 dB than that of the double-sidebands.

We have demonstrated a fiber short-wavelength filter with a good cut-off property using dissimilar dispersive properties between? a thermally expanded cored fiber and an external medium. Side-polishing is applied to coupling between the fiber and the external medium. The experimental results revealed that the bend edge wavelength can be adjusted by controlling the degree of core expansion. Futhermore, the sharpness of wavelength response? was significantly? improved by employing expanded core fiber instead of a conventional single mode fiber. Tuning range of the band edge wavelength exceeded 400 m based on thermo-optic effect of the external medium.

We have investigated gain flattening of EDFA systems with or without a gain equalizer for WDM long-haul transmission using a re-circulating EDFA loop. Without a gain equalizer, gain variation as small as 2.9 dB was achieved over the 10-nm band of a 100 cascaded EDFA system by the inversion principle. With a gain equalizer based on all-fiber acousto-optic tunable filters, two different config-urations of EDFAs were tested. For a single-stage EDFA scheme, the 21-nm band has shown 3.8 dB of gain variation at 17.4 ∼ 20.3 dB of OSNRs after the 100the stage of EDFAs. For a dual-stage EDFA scheme, a wider bandwidth of 34 nm has shown 3.6-dB variation after 40 cascaded EDFAs.

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.

DWDM 전송 시스템에서 전송 용량 증대를 위하여 bit rate를 고속화하고 채널 간격을 줄이기 위해서는 전송로로 사용되는 광케이블의 분산특성이 상반되는 값을 갖도록 요구된다. 즉, 분산으로 인한 신호 왜곡을 줄이기 위해서는 광케이블의 분산이 작아야 하고, 비선형 현상을 억제하기 위해서는 분산이 커야 한다. 이러한 두 가지 상반된 분산 penalty를 동시에 해결하기 위한 방안으로 양과 음의 분산 값이 이산적으로 분포된 광섬유 케이블을 최초로 설계 및 제작하였다. 이러한 분산 분포 케이블을 위해 일반 단일 모드 광섬유(SMF)와 대응되는 음분산 값을 갖는 새로운 광섬유(NDF)를 설계 및 제조한 후, SMF의 +17 ps/km/nm 및 NDF의 -15 ps/km/nm의 분산영역이 6km의 케이블 내에 분포되도록 케이블을 제작하였다. 새롭게 개발된 케이블의 분산 값을 국지적으로는 높은 값을 가지면서도 전체적으로는 1.0 ps/km/nm의 평균 분산 값으로 NZSDF 대비 30% 이하를 가질 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 제안된 케이블은 SMF 케이블과 동일한 케이블 시공 운용 환경에서도 정합함을 확인하였다.
