Accurate evaluation of polarization characteristics in the integrated optic chip (IOC) for interferometric fiber optic gyroscope was performed. Spatial distribution of optical wavetrains caused by the polarization parameters such as local polarization cross-coupling and polarization rejection coefficient of the IOC were measured utilizing the path-matched optical coherence domain polarimetry (PM-OCDP). With the analytic model deduced from Jones matrix representation, we could accurately identify the polarization characteristics of the IOC. Both degree of measurement error due to the imperfect equipment conditions in PM-OCDP and birefringence of IOC chip were also characterized.

Gyroscope is a very important core sensor as a rotation sensor in inertial space, in inertial guidance and navigation system on aeronautics. Plane, vessel and so on for civilian and millitary applications. Research and development of fiber optic gyroscope began in 1976 and focused on improving the gyroscope's sensitivity to rotation. bias performance and reducing noise. We have developed a Interferometric Fiber Optic' Gyroscope using a integrated-optic-circuit (IOC), which is operating with closed-loop electronic circuit. This paper describes the scheme of optical part and electronic part and also test results of this fiber optic gyroscope using a integrated-optic-circuit (IOC). The performance have been achieved as long-term bias drift of $1.73^{\circ}/h$.

We propose and fabricate a vertically integrated waveguide thermo-optic switch. It controls the optical path between two vertically stacked waveguide. As a first step, we fabricate polymeric waveguides. The measured propagation loss is ranged from 0.3 db/cm to 0.4 dB/cm at the wavelength of 1.55 $\mu\textrm{m}$. We fabricate the proposed vertically integrated waveguide thermo-optic switch to demonstrate its preliminary feasibility. The measured crosstalk is better than -10 db. The power consumption is about 500 mW. Further effort is necessary to improve its performance.

Integrated-optic polarization controlling devices such as polarizers, polarization splitters, and polarization converters, are proposed and demonstrated in nonlinear optic polymers. Poling-induced birefringence in electro-optic polymers is exploited to fabricate the devices. The polymeric waveguide polarizers show low excess losses, and extinction ratios of 20.7 dB and 17.1 dB for TM-pass and TE-pass polarizers, respectively. The polymeric waveguide polarization splitters exhibit TE-TM mode splittings with crosstalk of 14.2 dB and 10.1 dB for TM and TE mode splittings, respectively. The polymeric waveguide polarization converters show successful TE/TM polarization mode conversion with conversion efficiencies of higher than 30 dB. The device employs poling-induced waveguides which have slowly rotating azimuth angle of optic axis along the light propagation direction. The novel polarization converter is insensitive to wavelength and easier to fabricate than the other polarization converters containing periodic structures.

Closed-form analytical expressions and 3-dimensional normalized charts for the homogeneous sensing and surface sensing structures are derived to provide the conditions for the maximum sensitivity of integrated-optic biosensors based on evanescent-wave and stepindex planar optical waveguides. The analysis is made for transverse electric (TE) polarization mode, in both cases where the measurand is homogeneously distributed in the cover (namely, homogeneous sensing), and where it is an ultrathin film on the waveguide-cover interface (namely, surface sensing).

This study comprehensively reviewed four types of integrated-optic electric-field sensors based on titanium diffused lithium-niobate waveguides: symmetric and asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometers, 1×2 directional couplers, and Y-fed balanced-bridge Mach-Zehnder interferometers. First, we briefly explain the crystal properties and electro-optic effect of lithium niobate and the waveguide fabrication process. We theoretically analyzed the key parameters and operating principles of each sensor and antennas. We also describe and compare the design, simulation, implementation, and performance tests: dc and ac characteristics, frequency response, dynamic range, and sensitivity. The experimental results revealed that the sensitivity of the sensor based on the Y-fed balanced bridge Mach-Zehnder interferometer (YBB-MZI) was higher than that of the other types of sensors.

Electro-optic modulator (EOM) takes a vital role in connecting the electric and optical fields. Here, we present a heterogeneously integrated EOM based on the lithium niobate-on-insulator (LNOI) platform. The key modulation waveguide structure is a field-enhanced slot waveguide formed by embedding silicon nanowires in a thin-film lithium niobate (LN), which is different from the previously reported LN ridge or etchless LN waveguides. Based on such slot structure, optical mode field area is reduced and enhanced electric field in the slot region can interact well with LN material with high Electro-optic (EO) coefficient. Therefore, the improvements in both aspects have positive effects on enhancing the modulation performance. From results, the corresponding EOM by adding such modulation waveguide structure achieves better performance, where the key half-wave-voltage-length product (V_𝜋L) and 3 dB EO bandwidth are 1.78 V·cm and 40 GHz under the electrode gap width of only 6 ㎛, respectively. Moreover, Lower V_𝜋L can also be achieved. With these characteristics, such field-enhanced waveguide structure could further promote the development of LNOI-based EOM.
