Based on a semiconductor optical amplifier and sampled fiber Bragg gratings, polarization-controlled waveband switching in multiwavelength fiber laser is successfully demonstrated at room temperature by using high polarization selectivity of a polarization beam splitter. A multiwavelength-switching operation between eight and six laser lines with signal to noise ratio over 35 dB and wavelength spacing of ${\sim}0.8nm$ has been successfully demonstrated. The switching displacement of the proposed laser was ${\sim}7.1nm$. The intensity unevenness between different laser lines was measured to be less than 6.5 dB. The switching displacement between wavebands (groups of contiguous wavelengths), wavelength channels, and their spacings can be flexibly designed by the selected comb filters.

금속박막이 포함된 측면 연마 광섬유 결합기의 편광 선택적 결합 특성에 관한 이론적 연구 결과를 보고한다. 직교 모드이론을 이용하여 다양한 구조 조건에서 소자의 결합 특성을 분석하였다. 금속 박막의 두께가 증가함에 따라 TE 모드사이의 결합의 세기는 급격히 약해지는 반면에 TM 모드의 결합의 세기는 커짐을 보였다. 높은 편광 소멸비와 낮은 삽입 손실을 가지는 편광 분리기의 설계 조건을 제시하였다.

By incorporating a polarization-diversity loop configuration (PDLC), we have demonstrated inline conversion between transmission and reflection spectra of a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) without reconfiguration of the fiber filter structure. The proposed apparatus consists of a polarization beam splitter, an FBG, and two quarter-wave plates (QWP's). The inline conversion operation between transmission and reflection spectra of the FBG was performed by proper adjustment of QWP's within the proposed filter. The band rejection ratio and side-mode suppression ratio in transmission and reflection modes of the fabricated filter were measured as ~17.0[dB] and ~16.4[dB], respectively.

In this study, we propose a fiber-optic hydrogen sensor using a polarization-diversity loop configuration composed of a polarization beam splitter, two quarter-wave plates, and a polarization-maintaining fiber coated with palladium whose thickness is ~400nm. One transmission dip of the output interference spectrum of the proposed sensor, chosen as a sensor indicator, was observed to spectrally shift with the increase of the hydrogen concentration, and the sensing indicator showed a wavelength shift of ~2.48nm at a hydrogen concentration of 4%. Except for a hydrogen concentration of 4%, the response time of the proposed sensor was measured as less than 12.5s and did not show significant dependence on the hydrogen concentration. In particular, the proposed fiber hydrogen sensor is more durable and highly resistant to external stress applied on a transverse axis of an optical fiber, compared with other hydrogen sensors based on side-polished fibers or fiber gratings.

In this paper, we propose a Lyot-type optical fiber comb filter based on a polarization-diversity loop structure (PDLS), which has flat-top pass bands and multiwavelength switching capability. Generally, the PDLS can remove the dependency of the filter on input polarization. The proposed filter is composed of a polarization beam splitter, two half-wave plates (HWPs), and two polarization-maintaining fiber loops concatenated with a $60^{\circ}$ offset between their principal axes. By controlling two HWPs, it can operate in a flat-top band mode or a lossy flat-top band mode with an inherent insertion loss of ~3.49dB. In particular, flat-top bands can be interleaved in both modes, which cannot be realized in a Lyot-Sagnac comb filter based on a fiber coupler. Compared with Solc-type high-order comb filters with the same order, the proposed filter shows sharper transition between pass and stop bands.

Among the automotive steering systems, an Electric Power Assisted steering (EPAS) system utilizes an electronically controlled electric motor to provide steering assistance to the driver. The key components of the EPAS system are torque sensor, ECU (Electronic Control Unit), and DC Motor. The most important component of the EPAS is the torque sensor. The conventional torque sensor has complicated mechanical mechanism of torque detection. However, we suggest a non-contact torque sensor for EPAS using Maluss polarization law. It was found that the sensor exhibited not only excellent linearity but also superior characteristics of hysteresis, temperature and vibration.

유전체 다층박막에 빛이 사각으로 입사할 결우 편광에 의존하는 현상이 나타나므로 사용하기에 바람직하지 못하다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 편광효과를 줄이기 위하여 기존의 몇가지 설계법을 이용하여 비편광 광분리기를 설계해 보고 이 방법들을 응용하여 박막의 광학적두께가 ${\lambda}$/4로 일정할 때 최외각등가층의 반사율을 조절하는 방법을 사용하여 비편광 광분리기를 설계하였다.

1946년 S M MacNeille에 의해 연구된 유전체 다층 박막을 이용한 편광광속분리기는 브르스터 각 편광광속분리기(Brewster angle polarizing beam splitter) 혹은 맥닐 프리즘(MacNeille prism)으로 알려져 있으며 지금도 많은 광학계에서 사용되고 있다. 맥닐 프리즘은 두 개의 프리즘 사이의 빗면에 높은 굴절률( $n_{H}$ )을 갖는 물질과 낮은 굴절률( $n_{L}$ )을 갖는 물질을 λ/4 광학두께로 교번으로 한 고반사 다층박막 구조를 갖는다. 각 층의 경계면에서 브르스터 각으로 입사할 경우 p-편광파는 투과하고 s-편광파는 부분적으로 반사한다. 편광광속분리 정도는 p-편광파와 s-편광파의 투과율( $T_{p}$, $T_{s}$ ) 혹은 반사율( $R_{p}$, $R_{s}$ )의 비로 나타내며 이를 소광비(extinction ratio)라 한다.

A robust optical security technique using ortho-gonally polarized lights in the interferometer is proposed. We use orthogonally polarized lights in order to minimize the noise generated by the refractive index change due to vibration, flow of air, change of temperature etc. To make orthogonally polarized lights the first beam splitter in the Mach-Zehnder interferometer is substituted by a polarizing beam splitter(PBS). Because of incoherence of orthogonally polarized lights, the noise generated by the change of refractive index is minimized. To encrypt an image we use the random partition and the diffusing of pixel. Finally we make Phase-only-filters of each image which is randomly partitioned and diffused pixel by pixel. Simulation results show the proposed system has the ability of encryption and decryption of an image.

By incorporating a polarization-diversity loop configuration, we have demonstrated the inline switching of transmission and reflection spectra of one of two short-period fiber gratings (SPFGs) with different resonance wavelengths without reconfiguring the filter structure. The proposed filtering apparatus consists of a fiber-pigtailed polarization beam splitter, two SPFGs, and three quarter-wave plates (QWPs). The proposed filter can independently choose the transmission or reflection spectrum of each SPFG through the appropriate adjustment of the orientation angles of the QWPs within the filter without additional optical switches and couplers. The average insertion loss, band rejection ratio, and side-mode suppression ratio of the fabricated filter were measured as ~4.59, ~17.88, and ~19.67dB, respectively.
