The JCMT is now in its third year of operations under EAO management. During this past year, we continued with calls for regular PI programs as well as the second call for Large Programs. The performance of SCUBA-2 has been improved by replacing internal optical filters. The 230GHz Receiver A is in the process of being replaced by a new closed-cycle system. The SCUBA-2 polarimeter, POL-2, commissioned during the past year, has been working very well in measuring the magnetic field structures in molecular clouds. The JCMT successfully participated in the Event Horizon Telescope experiment during April 2017, which utilized the phased-up ALMA for the first time. The first round of Large Programs are nearing completion, with first publications beginning to be published. The JCMT continues to welcome inputs from the community, and the next users meeting will be held in Seoul in January 2018.

This paper describes the required frequency bandwidth which is used as a measure for the quality of the PFM transmission system to transmit the control signals. First, the PFM signal which has been distorted due to the frequency bandwidth limit on the transmission line is analyzed by Fourier transform and secondly distortion which has been observed at the receiver is numerically analyzed to make the frequency bandwidth required for transmitting the PFM signals. According to the analysis heretofore, the 50% threshold level for shaping the received PFM signal, which is of 50 % in TTL level, is superior than the 10- and 90-% threshold levels.

In this paper, we newly developed a byte-inverted transmission method for flicker-free visible light communication (VLC). The VLC transmitter sends original data in the former half period of the clock, and inverted data and in the latter half period of the clock. The VLC receiver receives the original data in the in the former half period of the clock. In this system, we used 480Hz clock that was generated from the 60Hz power line. The average optical power of the LED array in the transmitter is constant, thus flicker-free, in the observation time longer than the period of the clock that is about 2ms. This period is shorter than the maximum flickering time period (MFTP) of 5ms that is generally considered to be safe. This configuration is very useful in constructing indoor wireless sensor networks using LED light because it is flicker-free and does not require additional transmission channel for clock transmission.

This paper presents a hybrid WDM/TDM channel acess protocol for high speed WDM networks based on passive double star topology. In the proposed scheme, all nodes in a network are splitted into groups forming passive double star topology and each node has a tunable transmitter and a fixed receiver. WDM channels are allocated to the groups, which are used as home channels to transmit or receive packets. TDM frames of the WDM channel are composed of the same number of slots as that of groups, and all nodes in a group transmit packets simultaneously at each slot. The proposed scheme reduces the system complexity and the number of the required WDM channels. It was proved that the proposed protocol is less sensitive to the propagation delay and maintaining its superior transmission performance by employing the efficient transmission schedule based on passive double star topology.

EDFA (Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier) is widely used to compensate the loss in fiber optic transmission system. The characteristics of EDFA are investigated by analyzing the mechanism amplifying the optical power of an input with several factors to obtain the criteria for designing EDFA. When it is used in fiber optic transmission system, signal to noise characteristics in the receiver is deteriorated due to the spontaneous emission noise of EDFA. We investigate the operating conditions of EDFA to reduce BER (Bit Error Rate).

A PIN photodiode having a low dark current of 1.35 nA and a high external quantum efficiency of 95.3% fabricated for a passive optical network receiver. As the current was increased under a high voltage of 38 V and a temperature of $190^{\circ}C$, it was observed that there is a threshold current at 11 mA which induces a junction failure. Experimental data suggest that the junction failure occurs due to the crystal breaking at the end facet as a result of thermal heat or energetic carriers. This threshold behavior of junction failure is a valuable observation for the safe treatment of photodiodes. As long as the current is limited below the threshold currents, we have not observed failure events of our photodiodes.

A timing recovery circuit of 10 Gbit/s optical receiver is described. The circuit consists of a passive NRZ-to-PRZ circuit, a dielectric resonator filter (DRF) and a narrow band amplifier, which for the first time adopted a temperature compensation technique using the tempareature characteristics of DR. The experimental results showed an output clock phase variation of less than ${\pm}$6 degree over the operating temperature range form 0$^{\circ}C$ to 75$^{\circ}C$ and measured maximum rms jitters of less than 2 phs with the resonance detunings of up to ${\pm}$10 MHz. These experimental results show that the circuit is a suitable for 10 Gbit/s lightwave transmission system.

We fabricated very high. speed PIN Photodiode module for the application of high speed optical receiver. OMVPE was used for the growth of InP layer on InGaAs absorption layer. The structure was the combination of mesa and planartype. Fabrication procedure was more complicated than simple mesa or simple planar type structure because we used semiinsulating InP substrate in order to reduce stray capacitance. The results at-5V were as follows : dark current was less than 1nA, capacitance was 0.55pF, and cutoff frequency was above 3GHz, and rise and fall time was about 100ps.

In this paper, we propose an SIM/SM system with a square-law combining. In an outdoor environment, the performance of SIM/SM deteriorates due to an atmospheric turbulence. The square-law combining technique can enhance the performance of the SIM/SM by employing square-and-integrate operation at the receiver side. For various spectral efficiencies, the performance gain increases as the number of photodetectors increases. Furthermore, as the turbulence strength increases, the performance gain also increases.

A simple coupling method between APD(avalanche photodiode) arrays and SMF(single mode fiber) arrays on a Silicon carrier composed of V-grooves is proposed and carried out. Jacketed fibers embedded in V-grooves are used as alignment marks instead of patterned pedestals or solder bumps and a optical receiver module are packaged.
