  • The 2.0 GeV Pohang Light Source (PLS) is consisted of a full energy Linac and a storage ring. Four kicker magnets are installed in the storage ring tunnel to move the stored beam orbit in the storage ring closer to the injected beam from the beam transfer line. The injected beam then falls into the storage ring beam dynamic aperture. A kicker magnet modulator drives all four kicker magnets to maintain field balance and also synchronized kick of the beam. The kicker modulator can handle 2 GeV full energy beam. The kicker magnet modulator is installed in the storage ring tunnel and under stable operation. Specification of the kicker magnet modulator is ${\sim}6.0{\mu}s$ pulse-width, 200 ns flat-top width with ${\pm}0.2%$ regulation, ${\sim}24\;kA$ peak current, and 10 Hz repetition rate. Two thyratron switches (EEV CX-1536AX) are used in the system. In this article, design, and experimental results of the kicker magnet modulator are discussed.

  • By controlling the pixel of a LCD spatial light modulator electronically, we made a real-time moving window passing through the light on a LCD spatial light modulator. By using this LCD moving window, we suggested an angular multiplexed holographic memory system and in case of windows of 10$\times$10 pixels and 2$\times$2 pixels the total numbers of address are 1,536 and 38,400, respectively. To demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method, we recorded and reconstructed 30 images by 30 input addresses.

  • We propose a new method for improving the phase contrast of a multiphase digital holographic microscope using a spatial light modulator (SLM). Using the SLM as the annulus, our method improves the light contrast of the object edge to achieve higher accuracy. We demonstrate a digital holographic microscopy technique that provides a 30% improvement in the phase contrast compared to conventional microscopy, which utilizes a mechanical annulus. The phase-contrast improvement allows the 3D reconstructed hologram to be determined more precisely.

  • In this paper, we implement optical holographic associative memory based on the two-dimensional neural network model by using commercial LCTV as a spatial light modulator. The system consists of the simple Vander Lugt correlator utilizing plane Fourier hologram and the pinhole array. The associated output signal is detected on a two-dimensional CCD camera and electronically thresholded and fed back to the input plane of the system. Through the experimental demonstration of nonlinear holographic associative memory, it is suggested that commercial LCTV can be used as a new coherent spatial light modurator.

  • In this paper, an optical switch/modulator is designed and its light propagating characteristics analyzed using a simplified BPM. The distinctive feature of this switch/modulator is that all its waveguide branches are designed as single-mode. The principle of the device is based on the coupled mode theory in the Y-junction interconnecting waveguide. In spite of the fact all waveguides are designed as single-mode, by adjusting the interconnecting waveguide length'of the device the same characteristics as existing up to date devices are obtainable. Numerical results show that the switching characteristics periodically depend upon an interconnecting waveguide length with a spatial of about $150^{{\mu}m}$ in the $Ti:LiNbO_3$ step index waveguide. The design concept would therefore be utilized effectively in fabricating a monolithic high density optical integrated circuit.

  • High-speed harmonic optical modulation-demodulation schemes are presented and a possibility of the schemes for applying to high-speed light wave transmission system is tested at microwave frequency range. An example of this concept is as follows : Light wave is modulated succeedingly through cascaded optical modulators by a sub-carrier to produce a modulated light wave at harmonic frequency which is higher than the feasible frequency of the individual modulators. For demodulation of the base-band signal, the high frequency optical sub-carrier is down-converted by the same kind of optical modulator with the same concept of harmonic modulation.

  • The integration of a GaAs/AlGaAs multi-quantum well electroabsorption modulator and a tapered waveguide vertical direction optical interconnect has been performed without the complicated regrowth process. Zn impurity-induced layer disordering of MQW layer is used to achieve the energy transfer between SQW and MQW regions. Light coupled into a SQW region was transferred to an MQW region and an intensity modulation of 10 dB extinction ratio was demonstrated.

  • A multi-user autostereoscopic display based on laser scanning is described in this paper. It does not require the wearing of special glasses; it can provide 3D to several viewers who have a large degree of freedom of movement; and it requires the display of only a minimum amount of information. The display operates by providing regions in the viewing field, referred to as "exit pupils," which follow the positions of the viewers' eyes under the control of a multi-user head tracker. The display incorporates an RGB laser illumination source that illuminates a light engine. The light directions are controlled by a spatial light modulator, and a front screen assembly incorporates a novel Gabor superlens. Its operating principle is explained in this paper, as is the construction of three iterations of the display. Finally, a method of developing the display into one that is suitable for television applications is described.
