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.

In this paper, a free space optical communication device that can be used in a mobile base station of several km or less was fabricated and its characteristics were investigated. To overcome the loss due to atmospheric transmission, an optical fiber amplifier (EDFA) with an output of 23 dBm or more was used. In order to increase the focusing speed and miniaturization of the laser beam, an optical lens was manufactured, and a transmission lens was designed to have beam divergence within the range of 1.5 to 1.8 [mrad]. A PT module that controls PAN/TILT was fabricated in order to reduce pointing errors and effective automatic alignment between transceiver devices. In this study, Reed-Solomon (RS) code was used to maintain the transmission quality above a certain level. It was manufactured to be able to communicate at a wireless distance of 300m in a weather situation with visibility of 300m. For performance measurement, it was measured using BERT and eye pattern analyzer, and it was confirmed that BER can be maintained at 2.5Gbps.

A novel fiber optic surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor using cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) prism with the spectral modulation is presented. The SPR sensor chip is fabricated using the SU-8 photolithography, Ni-electroplating and COC injection molding process. The sidewall of the COC prism is partially deposited with Au/Cr (45/2.nm thickness) by e-beam evaporator, and the thermal bonding process is conducted for micro fluidic channels and optical fibers alignment. The SPR spectrum for a phosphate buffered saline (0.1.M PBS, pH.7.2) solution shows a distinctive dip at 1300.nm wavelength, which shifts toward longer wavelength with respect to the bovine serum albumin (BSA)concentrations. The sensitivity of the wavelength shift is $1.16\;nm{\cdot}{\mu}g^{-1}{\cdot}{\mu}l^{-1}$. From the wavelength of SPR dips, the refractive indices (RI) of the BSA solutions can be theoretically calculated using Kretchmann configuration, and the change rate of the RI was found to be $2.3{\times}10^{-5}RI{\cdot}{\mu}g^{-1}{\cdot}l^{-1}$. The realized fiber optic SPR sensor with a COC prism has clearly shown the feasibility of a new disposable, low cost and miniaturized SPR biosensor for biochemical molecular analyses.

We present a novel concept of a phase-shifting diffraction-grating interferometer, which is intended for the optical testing of concave mirrors with high precision. The interferometer is configured with a single reflective diffraction grating, which performs multiple functions of beam splitting, beam recombination, and phase shifting. The reference and test wave fronts are generated by means of reflective diffraction at the focal plane of a microscope objective with large numerical aperture, which allows testing fast mirrors with low f-numbers. The fiber-optic confocal design is adopted for the microscope objective to focus a converging beam on the diffractive grating, which greatly reduces the alignment error between the focusing optics and the diffraction grating. Translating the grating provides phase shifting, which allows measurement of the figure errors of the test mirror to nanometer accuracy.

A novel alignment-free micro-optic MZI filter has been demonstrated. The filter is composed of two fiber-pigtailed collimators and a beam-splittingplate with a periodically etched stripe pattern. We fabricated the plate through a standard lithographic formulation process by using a pyrex substrate glass with SU-8 resist coating on its one of the surfaces. The maximum insertion loss of the implemented filter was less than 2 dB over 1000 nm to 1600 nm and the extinction ratio was larger than 33 dB. The measured PDL within the 3-dB pass band of the filter was less than 0.15dB and the maximum extinction ratio variation was less than 2 dB even when the worst alignment error occured.

현재 광 정렬 시스템에 채용하고 있는 다채널 광 파워미터는 측정 채널의 수가 증가하는 상황이다. 그러나 기존 시스템 제어를 통한 각 채널의 정밀한 정렬은 다 채널 광 파워미터 기술에 적합하지 않은 방식이다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 기존 방식을 채택한 광 정렬 방식을 개선하기 위해 하다마스 변환 복원 알고리즘을 이용한 광 능동 정렬 검출 방법을 제안한다. 다채널 광학 정렬 시스템에서 가장 중요한 문제는 채널의 증가에 따라 채널별 정렬의 정밀도가 떨어진다. 기존 정렬 시스템에서 채용하고 있는 다채널 광 파워미터의 기술 수준은 약 4채널까지 동시 측정이 가능하였다. 이 방법은 채널 양쪽에 검출기를 설치하여 광량의 최대 지점을 최적 정렬 위치로 결정한다. 그러나 시스템 채널이 증가할 수록 안쪽에 위치한 광소자를 정렬을 무시하기 때문에 정확한 정렬에 적합하지 않다. 그리고 고속, 대용량의 데이터 처리요구에 맞추기 위한 64채널 광소자 생산을 위해서는 16개의 4채널 광 파워미터를 사용하는 방법이 있으나 이는 신뢰할 만한 수준의 측정치를 제공하지 못한다. 따라서 새로운 개념을 적용한 다채널 동시측정을 위한 광소자 측정 기술 및 광 파워미터의 개발이 절실히 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 하다마드 변환 복원 알고리즘을 이용한 광 능동 정렬 검출 시스템은 이러한 요구를 충족시킬 수 있다. 그러므로 본 논문은 하다마드 변환 복원 알고리즘을 이용한 광 능동 정렬 검출 시스템이 기존의 시스템보다 우수한 알고리즘과 성능을 가지고 있음을 실험을 통해 입증한다.
