본 논문에서는 광자결정 광섬유를 이용하여 1000 nm 의 광대역폭을 갖는 광신호 분배기를 구현하였다. 제작에 사용된 광자결정 광섬유의 지름은 $130{\mu}m$ 이고 6층의 공기 구멍 구조로 이루어져 있다. 광신호 분배기는 두 가닥의 광자결정 광섬유에 열을 가함과 동시에 인장력을 가해 제작하였으며 제작된 광자결정 광섬유 기반 광신호 분배기의 지름은 $23{\mu}m$ 이었다. 광신호 분배기의 제작 시 인장시키는 길이에 따라 대역폭과 bandedge가 조절되었다. 제작된 광자결정 광섬유 기반 광신호 분배기의 대역폭이 1000 nm에서 50:50의 광신호 분해 효율을 가지는 것으로 측정되었다. 광자결정 광섬유의 공기 구멍 구조의 특성으로 인해 주변온도의 변화에 영향을 받지 않는 특성을 나타낸다. Optical coherence tomography의 분해능이 광원의 대역폭에 비례하므로 광대역폭을 갖는 광자결정 광섬유 기반 광신호 분배기는 신호 추출을 위한 간섭계 구성에 핵심적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

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.

We propose a characterization method for the scattering property of microspheres using spectroscopic optical coherence tomography (OCT). To prove the effectiveness of the proposed method, we prepare solutions of different concentrations using microspheres ranging from 28 to 2300 nm in diameter. Time-frequency analysis is performed on the measured interference spectrum of each solution, and the resulting spectroscopic information is converted into histograms for centroid wavelengths. The histograms present a very sensitive response to changes in the concentration and size of microspheres. We classify them into three categories according to their characteristics. When the histogram of each category is replaced with the corresponding calculated value of the scattering coefficient, each category is mapped to a different scattering-coefficient region. It is expected that the proposed method could be used to investigate the optical characteristics of a biological sample from OCT images, which would be helpful for optical diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Subpicosecond all-optical switching method based on the simultaneous two-photon coherence exchange is proposed and numerically demonstrated. The optical switching mechanism is based on the optical field induced dark resonance swapping via nondegenerate four-wave mixing processes. For potential applications of ultrafast all-optical switching in fiber-optic communications, 10-THz channel number independent quantum router is discussed.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is high resolution medical imaging system which is obtaining image inside biological objects with non-destructive method. OCT system is based on Michelson interferometer with a reciprocating mirror in the reference arm and a biological object in the sample arm. The obtained OCT image suffers from a granular or mottled image, called speckle. Speckle is caused by random interferences between reflected coherence waves. In this paper, we propose effective speckle reduction method that uses wavelet transform. With wavelet domain image, sub-windowing and thresholding are performed. Finally, speckle reduction experiments for Misgurnus mizolepis skin and rat eye images are shown.

Based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle, the analytical propagation formulae for spectrally partially coherent Gaussian Schell-model pulsed (SPGSMP) beams propagating in turbulent atmosphere have been derived. The influences of the parameters for turbulent atmosphere and SPGSMP beams on the on-axis and off-axis spectral shift and degree of coherence for SPGSMP beams propagating in turbulent atmosphere have been analyzed, using numerical calculations. The obtained results have potential applications for SPGSMP beams in free-space optical communication and laser lidar.

The spatial coherence function of multy-mode beam was measured by using a Sagnac interferometer and self referencing technique. For leaner polarization laser beam passing through a multy-mode fiber, its change value of spatial mode and polarization from stress of faber and input coupling angle. And each spatial mode have each polarizations, when we simulation Wigner distribution function and Spatial Correlation function of spatial multi-mode beam by using Hermit Gaussian modes leaner sum. We measured spatial coherence function of using by multy-mode fiber. One can use this measurement method to study and characterize the property of multy-mode light field coming out of GRIN multy-mode fiber.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity of swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) for detecting sealant microleakage. Materials and Methods: A total of 31 extracted sound human molar, assigned as suitable for sealant application, were chosen and divided into two groups: (1) no microleakage group and (2) microleakage group by applying sealant using the different methods. All specimens were immersed in 1% methylene blue for 24 h and sectioned to confirm the absence or presence of sealant microleakage as a gold standard method. Subsequently, all the sectioned specimens were digitally photographed using a microscope with a magnification of ${\times}50$. Presence of microleakage was evaluated on a 2-point rating scale. The association of histological method with conventional methods (visual and tactile assessment) and SS-OCT was assessed using a chi-squared test. The intra- and inter-examiner reliability was calculated using Cohen's Kappa. Results: The SS-OCT showed a sensitivity of 0.73 and a specificity of 1.00, while visual and tactile assessment showed a sensitivity of 0.67 and a specificity of 0.86. The inter-examiner reliability of SS-OCT was 0.79, whereas that of the visual and tactile assessment was 0.53. Conclusions: SS-OCT can be used to non-invasively detect sealant microleakage and to monitor pit and fissure sealant in the clinics.
