An optical modulator with CPW(coplanar waveguide) electode on Ti:LiNbO$_{3}$ optical waveguide wasfabricated and characterized. The electrical-optical bandwidth measurement showed an optical response of -3dBat 10 GHzand S$_{11}$ lessthan -10dB upto 20GHz. The typeical specifications are : 5.6V of driving voltage, 4.2dB of insertion loss and 30dB of on/off extinction. The eye pattern proved that the optical meduator, fabricated in this work, has properties good enough for application.

In Optical Scanning Holography(OSH), 3-D holographic information of an object is generated by 2-D active optical scanning. The optical scanning beam can be a time-dependent Gaussian apodized Fresnel zone plate. In this technique, the holographic information manifests itself as an electric signal which can be sent to an electron-beam-addressed spatial light modulator for coherent image reconstruction. In this paper, we briefly review optical scanning holography and analyze the resolution achievable with the system. We also present mathmatical expressions of real and virtual images which are responsible for holographic image reconstruction. We then show the twin-image noise effect on the reconstruction in conjunction with the size of the Fresnel zone pattern through computer simulation.

In this paper, we propose a fake iris detection method that combines the optical and textural features of the human eye. To extract the optical features, we used dual Purkinje images that were generated on the anterior cornea and the posterior lens surfaces based on an analytic model of the human eye's optical structure. To extract the textural features, we measured the amount of change in a given iris pattern (based on wavelet decomposition) with regard to the direction of illumination. This method performs the following two procedures over previous researches. First, in order to obtain the optical and textural features simultaneously, we used five illuminators. Second, in order to improve fake iris detection performance, we used a SVM (Support Vector Machine) to combine the optical and textural features. Through combining the features, problems of single feature based previous works could be solved. Experimental results showed that the EER (Equal Error Rate) was 0.133%.

Using tightly focused femtosecond laser pulses, we produce an optical waveguide and devices in transparent materials. This technique has the potential to generate not only channel waveguides, but also three-dimensional optical devices. In this paper, an optical splitter and U-grooves, which are used for fiber alignment, are simultaneously fabricated in a fused silica glass using near-IR femtosecond laser pulses. The fiber- aligned optical splitter has a low insertion loss, less than 4 dB, including an intrinsic splitting loss of 3 dB and excess loss due to the passive alignment of a single-mode fiber. Finally, we present an output field pattern, demonstrating that the splitting ratio of the optical splitter becomes approximately 1:1.

In this study, we investigate the atmospheric environment changes in the aspect of optical remote sensing using surface observation data from 1971 to 2000 of Korea Meteorological Administration. Visibility, spatially averaged over Korean peninsula, is systematically reduced from about 28km to 18km during the last 30 years. It means that atmospheric conditions for the optical remote sensing over Korean peninsula are growing worse and worse due to the degradation of air quality. The 30-year average of cloud amount shows a strong seasonal variation, maximum(75%) in summer and minimum (35%) in autumn. Precipitation also shows a very similar variation pattern with cloud. The temperature and sea level pressure show a opposite seasonal change pattern, maximum(minimum in SLP) in summer and minimum(maximum in SLP) in winter, respectively. Relative humidiy(RH) is one of the variables mostly affected by urbanization or urban heat island. As a results, annual mean RH is decreased from 73% to 68% during last 30 years. When we take into account the favorable and unfavorable factors all together, summer and autumn are the worst and the best season for optical remote sensing in Korea.

The recent trend of information communication is to focus on improving communication services in order to satisfy the customer's desire for various information. Optical transducers of Local Area Network use 850nm or 1310nm among wavelength ranges and LD as a light source. However, Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser(VCSEL) which is very excellent to deal with data processing is used at long wavelength or Gbps. In this paper, after basic optical characteristics were introduced a optical transmission module was developed to be operated over GHz and its transmission characteristics were analyzed at 2.5GHz and 3GHz with pulse pattern generator.

It is necessary to improve mechanical and optical properties in the optical disk substrates as the information storage devices with high storage density using blue laser are being developed. Injection compression molding is regarded as the most suitable process to manufacture optical disk substrates for quality recording and read-out. In the present research, the effects of mold temperature and the insulation layer thickness on gapwise birefringence and the land-groove pattern were investigated. It was found that the values of the birefringence distribution were very sensitive to mold temperature history, and the level of birefringence reduced and, furthermore, the quality of replication was improved due to the insulation layer.

We propose an implementation scheme for an optical encryption system with hybrid-pattern random keys. In the encryption process, a pair of random phase keys composed of a white-noise phase key and a structured phase key are positioned in the input plane and Fourier-spectrum plane respectively. The output image is recoverable by digital reconstruction, using the conjugate of the encryption key in the Fourier-spectrum plane. We discuss the system encryption performance when different combinations of phase-key pairs are used. To measure the effectiveness of the proposed method, we calculate the statistical indicators between original and encrypted images. The results are compared to those generated from a classical double random phase encoding. Computer simulations are presented to show the validity of the method.
