  • The Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (SOA)-based Mach-Zehnder interferometer is a major contributor in all-optical digital processing and optical computation. Optical tree architecture provides one of the new, alternative schemes for integrated all-optical arithmetic and logical operations. In this paper, we propose an all-optical 3-bit integrated parity generator and checker using SOA-MZI-based optical tree architecture. The proposed scheme, able to process input signals at a desired operating wavelength, has been characterized using RZ-modulated signals at 10 Gbps. The maximum extinction ratios achieved at the output of the parity generator and checker are 10 dB and 8 dB respectively.

  • In this paper, a smart optical fingerprint sensor technology that is robust against faked fingerprints. A new lens and prism accurately detect fingerprint ridges and valleys that are needed to express a fingerprint's intrinsic characteristics well. The proposed technology includes light path configuration and an optical fingerprint sensor that can effectively identify faked fingerprint features. Results of simulation show the smart optical fingerprint sensor classifies the characteristics of faked fingerprints made from silicone, gelatin, paper, and rubber, and show that the proposed technology has superior detection performance with faked fingerprints, compared to the existing infrared discrimination method.

  • The modulation bandwidth of a reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA) is limited by carrier lifetime. Therefore, it is hard to directly modulate an RSOA with high-speed electrical signals. We theorize that an optical filter can act as an optical equalizer, compensating for the narrow bandwidth limitation imposed by the RSOA. By modeling a time-varying RSOA with a modified transfer matrix method (TMM), we simulated 25 Gbps operation of an RSOA with optical filtering effects. We investigated the impact of detuning the center wavelength of the optical filter on the modulation of an RSOA. The numerical results show that it is possible to modulate an RSOA with an optical filtering effect at 25 Gbps without electronic equalization or digital signal processing.

  • We have developed a high-performance signal-processing and image-rendering heterogeneous computation system for optical coherence tomography (OCT) on mobile processor. In this paper, we reveal it by demonstrating real-time OCT image processing using a Snapdragon 800 mobile processor, with the introduction of a heterogeneous image visualization architecture (HIVA) to accelerate the signal-processing and image-visualization procedures. HIVA has been designed to maximize the computational performances of a mobile processor by using a native language compiler, which targets mobile processor, to directly access mobile-processor computing resources and the open computing language (OpenCL) for heterogeneous computation. The developed mobile image processing platform requires only 25 ms to produce an OCT image from $512{\times}1024$ OCT data. This is 617 times faster than the naïve approach without HIVA, which requires more than 15 s. The developed platform can produce 40 OCT images per second, to facilitate real-time mobile OCT image visualization. We believe this study would facilitate the development of portable diagnostic image visualization with medical imaging modality, which requires computationally expensive procedures, using a mobile processor.

  • By using a semiconductor optical amplifier and a cross-phase modulation wavelength converter, fundamental all-optical logic gates including NOT, AND, NOR, XOR, and XNOR have been newly proposed and implemented. Realization of these all-optical logic gates will bring up not only all-optical networks but also all-optical computing and signal processing.

  • Ge is becoming an increasingly popular semiconductor material with high Si compatibility for on-chip optical interconnect technology. For a better manifestation of the meritorious material properties of Ge, its surface treatment should be performed satisfactorily before the electronic and photonic components are fabricated. Ex-situ rapid thermal annealing (RTA) processes with different gases were carried out to examine the effects of the annealing gases on the thin-film quality of Ge grown epitaxially on Si substrates. The Ge-on-Si samples were prepared in different structures using the same equipment, reduced-pressure chemical vapor deposition (RPCVD), and the samples annealed in $N_2$, forming gas (FG), and $O_2$ were compared with the unannealed (deposited and only cleaned) samples to confirm the improvements in Ge quality. To evaluate the thin-film quality, room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) measurements were performed. Among the compared samples, the $O_2$-annealed samples showed the strongest PL signals, regardless of the sample structures, which shows that ex-situ RTA in the $O_2$ environment would be an effective technique for the surface treatment of Ge in fabricating Ge devices for optical computing systems.

  • Optical flow는 물체의 속도 결정과 추적 뿐만 아니라 영상분할과 물체의 3차원 정보로서도 중요하다. 순차적인 영상으로부터 optical flow를 계산하기 위하여 경사법 알고리듬이 많이 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 경사법의 문제점인 영상전체에 대한 속도벡터의 평활화 현상을 국부적으로 한정시키기 위하여 스칼라 경계선을 이용하는 새로운 주위평균 계산방법을 제시하였으며, optical flow의 분산의 역치로 가중된 평균을 이용하여 이동경계 주위와 폐색영역에서 발생되는 속도오차를 감소시켰다.

  • 본 논문에서는 링과 메쉬 구조를 이용한 경제적인 계층형 광통신망 설계 문제를 다룬다. 계층형(hierarchical) 광통신망 설계 문제에서 고려하는 비용 요소는 링 구조의 광통신망 내부(intra-ring) 트래픽 처리를 담당하는 OADM(Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer), 메쉬 구조의 링간(inter-ring) 트래픽 처리를 담당하는 OXC(Optical Cross-Connect) 및 OADM간 케이블 비용 및 OXC간 케이블 비용이다. 이 논문에서 제시하는 계층형 광통신망 설계 문제에서는 OADM 및 OXC의 트래픽 처리 용량과 각 링의 OADM 개수 제약을 고려한다. 이 논문에서는 계층형 광통신망 설계 문제를 정수계획법(integer programming) 모형으로 모델링하며, 링의 대칭성(symmetry)을 부분적으로 제거하는 절단평면(cutting planes)을 개발한다. 또한, 우수한 품질의 해를 적절한 시간동안 찾기 위해 휴리스틱 알고리즘을 개발한다. 모의 실험을 통해 절단평면과 휴리스틱 알고리즘의 성능을 평가한 결과 크기가 작은 문제에 대해서는 이 논문에서 개발한 절단평면을 정수계획법 모형에 추가함으로서 최적해를 구하는 시간을 크게 단축시키며, 크기가 큰 문제에 대해서는 이 논문에서 개발한 휴리스틱 알고리즘이 상용 소프트웨어인 CPLEX가 찾는 휴리스틱 해보다 우수한 해를 발견함을 확인하였다.

  • We demonstrate an optical gate architecture using a single SOA to perform AND, OR and NOT logic functions. Simple reconfigurable all-optical logic operations are implemented using RZ modulated signals at 40 Gb/s. Contrast ratio and extinction ratio values have been analysed for the different types of logic gates. Maximum extinction ratio and contrast ratio achieved are 19dB and 17.2 dB respectively. Simple structure and potential for integration makes this architecture an interesting approach in photonic computing and optical signal processing.
