Latching optical switches and optical logic gates with AND or OR, and the INVERT functionality are demonstrated, for the first time, by the monolithic integration of a differential typed vertical cavity laser with depleted optical thyristor (VCL-DOT) structure with a low threshold current of 0.65 mA, a high slope efficiency of 0.38 mW/mA, and high sensitivity to input optical light. Many kinds of logic functions (AND, OR, NAND, NOR, and INVERT) are experimentally demonstrated using a differential switching operation scheme changing the intensity of a reference input beam without any changes of electrical circuits.

In this study, photosensitivity dynamics in SiO$_2$ glass with the composition similar to that of silica Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) devices was investigated as a fundamental study prior to the device fabrication. Silica bulk glasses with similar composition to the core layer of PLC devices were prepared with variable composition of B$_2$O$_3$. The photosensitivity in boron and germanium co-doped SiO$_2$ glass yields refractive index change $\Delta$n as high as 10$\^$-3/. However such index modulation disappeared after annealing. From the result of annealing experiment and W absorption / Raman spectra, we conclude the compaction model is applicable to our glass system.

We demonstrate a beat frequency-Switchable dual-mode external cavity laser hybrid integrated on planar lightwave circuit with an FP-LD and a sampled grating as external reflector. The dual-mode external avity laser was able to switch its beat frequency from 132GHz to 406GHz by changing LD current from 50mA to 55mA.

We have developed a fully functional reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer (ROADM) switch module using a polymer integrated photonic lightwave circuit technology. The polymer variable optical attenuator (VOA) array and digital optical switch array are integrated into one polymer PLC chip and packaged to form a 10-channel VOA integrated optical switch module. Four of these optical switch modules are used in the ROADM switch module to execute 40-channel switching and power equalization. As a wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) filter device, two C-band 40-channel athermal arrayed waveguide grating WDMs are used in the ROADM module. Optical power monitoring of each channel is carried out using a 5% tap PD. A controller and firmware having the functions of a 40-channel switch and VOA control, optical power monitoring, as well as TEC temperature control, and data communication interfaces are also developed in this study.

In this paper, we have designed and fabricated optical waveguides based on the Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) for application to sensor. The evanecent-wave sensor based on the MZI principle has sufficiently high sensitivity to measure the change of the refractive index on surface of a waveguide. The waveguides were optimized at a wavelength of 1550 nm and fabricated according to the design rule of 0.45 delta%, which is the difference of refractive index between the core and clad. The fabrication of MZI optical waveguides was performed by a conventional Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) fabrication process. The fabricated MZI optical waveguide device was measured. According to the measurement result, the insertion loss of MZI optical waveguide device was below 3.5 dB and the polarization dependent loss (PDL) was within 0.1dB. In addition, we analyzed optical properties of MZI sensor according to the refractive index change of the sensor arm.

국내에서는 언제 어디서나 휴대용 단말을 이용하여 저렴한 요금으로 고속의 무선인터넷을 사용할 수 있는 휴대인터넷 서비스를 2006년부터 서비스 할 계획이다. 앞으로 서비스 될 WiBro 휴대인터넷 서비스 방식은 기존 이동통신 방식과 달리 RF 송신 주파수와 수신 주파수가 동일한 TDD (time division duplexing) 방식을 사용한다. WiBro 무선통신 기지국 장비에 있어서도 기존 CDMA 이동통신 기지국 장비에서와 마찬가지로 RF Power Amplifier (PA)가 매우 고가의 핵심 부품이라 할 수 있다. 물론, 기존 FDD (frequency division duplexing) 방식의 CDMA 기지국 PA와 달리 WiBro용 기지국 PA는 TDD 신호를 처리할 수 있는 새로운 기술을 필요로 한다. TDD 방식인 WiBro 기지국용으로 사용할 수 있는 새로운 2.3 GHz 42 W PA를 설계, 제작한 결과를 본 논문에서는 발표하고자 한다.

This paper presents a new security verification technique based on an image encryption by a white noise image that serves as an encryption key. In the proposed method that resembles holographic process, the encryption process is executed digitally using FFT routine which gives chances for separating corruptive noise from reconstructed primary image The encoded image thus obtained is regarded as an nterference pattern caused by two lightwaves transmitted through the primary image and the white noise image. The decoding process is executed optically and in real-tiem fashion where lightwave transmitted through the white noise image illuminates the encrypted card.

Dense Wavelength division multiplexing(DWDM) lightwave system requires multiplexer, demultiplexer and optical filter. In this paper, thus, we propose the Add-Drop Mux/Demux based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer(MZI) with fiber Bragg grating(FBG). The Add-Drop Mux/Demux using FBG and MZI is able to minimize system and reduce weight. We also analyze output characteristics of Add-Drop Mux/Demux and present the optimum design data through the computer simulation.

Since stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) impact wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical transmission systems, it is important to understand the implication of SBS in the design of such lightwave systems. Therefore, Brillouin gain spectrum (BGS) is measured to characterize the effect of SBS in optical fiber. The Brillouin gain coefficient is found to vary as the wavelength and linewidth of source. Theoretically measurement of BGS shows a dependence on wavelength(λ) and on linewidth(Δν), respectively.
