We demonstrate a single-frequency wavelength tunable erbium-doped fiber (EDF) ring laser. We used an unpumped-EDF as a saturable-absorber in order to obtain a stable single-frequency with a narrow-linewidth single-polarization mode in the ring cavity. The lasing wavelength was controlled by using bending-induced strain, such as tension and compression strain corresponding to the bending direction, applied to the fiber gratings. The fiber laser exhibited an output power of -1.85 dBm at a wavelength of 1540.72 nm for a pumping power of ~400 mW. An extinction ratio was measured to be more than 60 dB. The proposed tunable fiber laser maintains nearly the same output power while its lasing wavelength is controlled over in a wavelength range of 5 nm.

Photovoltaic solar cells are all in the incident because they are not converted into electrical energy, high-efficiency solar cells in order to reduce the loss of elements must be. Significant factor in the loss of solar cells, optical loss and electrical loss can be divided into. Optical losses occur when the sun will be joined on the surface of the reflection, the shadow loss due to electrodes, and the losses are in the solar wavelengths. Commercialization is currently the most common solar cells on the front of the light incident on the electrode is formed. Therefore, the shadow caused by the electrode to cover the dead area of the sun, due to factors that hinder the absorption of sunlight which is shadowing them and conversion efficiency of solar cells is the inhibition factor. These barriers to eliminate the electrode linewidth reduces the shadowing to reduce, but simply of the electrode line width is reduced electrode area by reducing the series resistance elevates this because to improve the electrode Aspect ratio(height/width) to increase Ag development of paste is required. In this study, aspect ratio of screen-printing method to increase the electrode Ag paste composition of the binder for the characterization of rheology in the shadow of the electrode by reducing the optical loss of the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar cells to boost the performance measures was. Properties and printability of the paste, the binder resin sintered characteristics that affect the thermal properties are excellent with a good screen printability acrylic resin, ethyl cellulose, using a resin were evaluated. Prepared paste rheology properties, was formed to evaluate the electrode conductivity and aspect ratio.

[ $^1H$ ] nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments have been performed at 30 - 300 K and 7 T to investigate dynamics of hydrogen bond network in the single crystal $(NH_4)_3H(SO_4)_2$. The two proton sites, ammonium proton and hydrogen-bond proton, are identified from the $^1H$ NMR MAS spectrum at 340 K. As temperature decreases, the $^1H$ NMR spectrum shifts to the higher frequency side with a larger linewidth. The spectrum at 65 K shows a distinctive change in line shape toward the ferroelectric transition at 63 K. The measured values of $T_1$ for ammonium and hydrogen-bond protons are similar in the whole range of temperature. $T_1$ of $^1H$ NMR shows a gradual decrease down to 120 K and starts to steeply increase below 100 K. Then $T_1$ shows abrupt decrease below 70 K with a sharp minimum at 63 K, where the ferroelectric transition occurs. This temperature dependence of spectrum and $T_1$ clearly prove that the large change in the dynamics of hydrogen bond network is associated with the ferroelectric phase transition at 63 K.

We performed injection-locking by two independent semiconductor lasers and investigated the spectral modes of the injection-locked laser From the observation of the saturated absorption spectrum in the $^{85}Rb$ D1 transition line, we have confirmed that the frequency of the injection-locked slave laser is synchronized by the frequency of the master laser, and the slave laser has a narrow linewidth after injection-locking. According to the intensity injected into the slave laser, we measured the variation of the injection-locking range and the mode of the injection-locked slave laser by using the confocal Fabry-Ferret interferometer. In the case of the incomplete injection-locking, we observed the competition between the free running mode of the slave laser and the mode of the master laser and analyzed the modes of the injection-locked slave laser.

We designed an ultra-high frequency (UHF: 300MHz to 3 GHz) ferrite circulator to investigate magnetic parameters, which are suitable for a self-biased GHz circulator design. The size of the ferrite disk was 1.58 mm in thickness and 13.5 mm in diameter. The saturation magnetization ($4{\pi}M_s$) of 3900 Gauss, internal magnetic field ($H_{in}$) of 1 kOe, and ferromagnetic linewidth (${\Delta}H$) of 354 Oe were used in circulator performance simulation. The simulation results show the isolation of 36.4 dB and insertion loss of 2.76 dB at 2.6 GHz and were compared to measured results. A Ni-Zn ferrite circulator was fabricated based on the above design parameters. An out-of-plane DC magnetic field ($H_0$) of 4.8 kOe was applied to the fabricated circulator to measure isolation, insertion loss, and bandwidth. Experimental magnetic parameters for the ferrite were $H_{in}$ of about 1.33 kOe and $4{\pi}M_s$ of 3935 Gauss. The isolation 43.9 dB and insertion loss of 5.6 dB measured at 2.5 GHz are in close agreement with the simulated results of the designed ferrite circulator. Based on the simulated and experimental results, we demonstrate that the following magnetic parameters are suitable for 2 GHz self-biased circulator design: $4{\pi}M_r$ of 3900 Gauss, $H_a$ of 4.5 kOe, $H_c$ greater than 3.4 kOe, and ${\Delta}H$ of 50 Oe.

We present various optimal grating structures which give the low threshold gain, good modulation characteristics, small effective linewidth enhancement factor, and large fabrication tolerance in complex-coupled MQW DFB lasers with absorptive gratings. To obtain these, we calculate the complex coupling coefficients using the extended additional layer method and the threshold gain including the modal loss in the absorptive grating region for rectangular and trapezoidal gratings. Based on the comparison of the results for various possible absorptive grating structures, the design guidelines are presented to obtain the low threshold gain or large fabrication tolerance. Among the grating structures studied, the double grating structure consisting of the absorptive grating on the index grating has the largest fabrication tolerance for the threshold gain and the coupling strength. The fabrication tolerance for the coupling ratio is very large for all the grating structures studied.

System modeling for Heterodyne/Coherent Optical BFSK receiver is described and its receiver performance is evaluated. Receiver performance is deteriorated due to both shot noise and laser phase nois. Therefore, to minimize these noise impacts PLL loop natural frequency is selected optimally. For different power penalty due to phase error, required phase error variance to achieve $BER=10^{-9}$, nomalized loop power, and laser linewidth/bit rate(${\Delta\nu}s/Rb$) are derived. For 0.5dB power penalty, phase error variance=0.035(${rad^2}$), photon numbers=20.0, nomalized loop power = $3.8{\times}10^{-3}$(electron/s per herz), and ${\Delta\nu}s/Rb=5.24{\times}10^{-3}$ are obtained.

The use of holographic interference lithography and removal techniques to corrugate GaAs substrate have been studied. The periodic photoresist structure, which serves as a protective mask during etching, is holographically prepared. Subsequently periodic V-grooved pattern is formed on the GaAs substrate by conventional a H$_{2}$SO$_{4}$-H$_{2}$O$_{2}$-H$_{2}$O wet etching. The linewidth of a GaAs pattern is about 0.4$\mu$m and the depth is 0.5$\mu$m A quantum wires(QWRs) array is well formed on the V-grooved substrate by MOCVD (metalorganic chemical vapor deposition) growth of GaAs/Al$_{0.5}$Ga$_{0.5}$As (50$\AA$/300$\AA$) quantum wells. The formation of QWR array is confirmed by the temperature dependent photoluminescence (PL) measurement. The intensive PL peak with a FWHM of 6meV at 21K shows the high quality of the QWR array.

Soliton pulse outputs are generated with figure '8' type erbium-doped fiber laser mode-locked by using a fiber loop mirror. The fiber loop mirror consists of an erbium-doped fiber amplifier at the one end of the loop, and 504 m-long dispersion-shifted fiber as a nonlinear medium. By pumping with a $1.48{\mu}m$ wavelength laser diode and adjusting the polarization controllers inside the loop, soliton pulses are generated with 1574 nm center wavelength and 1.2 nm linewidth. The soliton pulses are found randomly spaced within the fundamental period corresponding to cavity round trip time. The autocorrelation trace shows that the pulse width is 2.4 ps, which is in good agreement with the theoretical prediction. The pulsewidth- bandwidth product is found to be 0.348 which means that the pulses are nearly transform-limited.imited.

Planar images of OH and $O_{2}$ with tunable KrF excimer laser which has a) 0.5 $cm^{-1}$ / linewidth, b) 0.5 nm tuning range, c) 150 mJ pulse energy, and d) 20 ns pulse width are obtained to determine spatial distributions of OH and $O_{2}$ in premixed $C_{3}$H$_{8}$ /O$_{2}$ flame. The technique is based on planar laser induced pre-dissociative fluorescence(PLIPF) in which collisional quenching is almost avoided because of the fast pre-dissociation.
