근적외선 대역에서 동작 가능한 가변파장레이저 구현을 위하여 브래그 격자와 반도체 광증폭기로 구성된 외부 공진기 형태의 레이저를 제작하였다. 폴리머 광도파로는 굴절률이 1.462, 1.435 인 ZPU 폴리머를 이용하여 제작되었다. 근적외선 파장에서 반사를 일으키는 브래그 격자의 제작을 위해서는 주기가 875 nm 로서 비교적 크고 제작이 손쉬운 3차 브래그 격자를 이용하였다. 폴리머 광도파로 브래그 반사기를 이용하여 제작된 근적외선 외부공진 레이저는 850 nm 파장에서 0 dBm의 출력 파워와 0.2 nm의 20-dB bandwidth, 40 dB 이상의 Side Mode Suppression Ratio을 가지는 단일 모드 레이저 특성을 보였다.

광대역 광통신 시스템에 사용되는 레이저는 우수한 주파수 선택성과 모드 안정성을 가져야한다. DFB(Distributed Feedback) 레이저는 고주파로 전류 변조를 하더라도 발진 주파수의 변화가 적다. 본 연구에서는 무반사 코팅을 하지 않은, 두 거울 면을 가진 1.55um의 파장을 갖는 DFB 레이저에서 이득 격자와 굴절률 격자가 동시에 존재할 때, 시뮬레이션 소프트웨어를 개발하여 종 방향으로의 발진 모드의 빔 분포를 해석하였다. 굴절률 격자와 이득 격자가 거울 면에서 갖는 위상 값의 변화에 따라서 DFB 레이저의 발진 모드에 대한 빔 분포 |R(z)|와 |S(z)|, 그리고 방사전력비 P_l/P_r를 비교 검증하였다. 거울 면에서의 격자 위상에 관계없이 발진 모드의 문턱 전류를 낮추고 주파수 안정성을 높이기 위해서는, κL이 8보다 커야한다.

Very compact 4-channel 200-GHz-spacing external cavity lasers (ECLs) were fabricated by hybrid integration of reflection gratings and superluminescent laser diodes on a planar lightwave circuit chip. The fifth-order gratings as reflection gratings were formed using a conventional contact-mask photo-lithography process to achieve low-cost fabrication. The lasing wavelength of the fabricated ECLs matched the ITU grid with an accuracy of ${\pm}0.1$ nm, and optical powers were more than 0.4 mW at the injection current of 80 mA for all channels. The ECLs showed single mode operations with more than 30 dB side lobe suppression.

Holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystals (HPDLCs) have fabricated by irradiating an Ar-ion laser ( ${\lambda}$=514nm) at various intensity on LC/acrylate monomer mixtures which were sandwitched between two ITO coated glass plates. Monomer systems were composed of dipentaerythritol-hydroxy penta acrylate (DPHPA, f=5)/monofunctional acrylate monofunctional monomers. The LC used in this system was E7 (BL001, Merck). Gratings were fabricated by periodic interference of twobeams. Reflection efficiency-irradiation intensity-monomer type relationships were obtained from the UV-visible spectra of the HPDLC films. Peaks were found at a bit smaller wavelength than 514nm, due to the shrinkage of mixture volume upon polymerization. Real time measurements of diffraction efficiency have been obtained according to monomer types and LC contents.

In this paper, I introduce a novel design method of a high performance nanophotonic beam deflector providing broadband operation, large active tunability, and signal efficiency, simultaneously. By combining thermo-optically tunable vanadium dioxide nano-ridges and a metallic mirror, reconfigurable local optical phase of reflected diffraction beams can be engineered in a desired manner over broad bandwidth. The active metagrating deflectors are systematically designed for tunable deflection of reflection beams according to the thermal phase-change of vanadium dioxide nano-ridges. Moreover, by multiplexing the phase-change supercells, a robust design of actively tunable beam splitter is also verified numerically. It is expected that the proposed intuitive and simple design method would contribute to development of next-generation optical interconnects and spatial light modulators with high performances. The author also envisions that this study would be fruitful for modern holographic displays and three-dimensional depth sensing technologies.

A simple water level measurement method based on wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) is proposed and demonstrated. The measurement principle is based on the change of Fresnel reflection occurring at the end facet of the optical fiber tip (OFT). To increase the spatial resolution of water level sensing, a broadband light source (BLS) and an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) are employed. The OFTs are multiplexed with the dedicated wavelength channels of AWG. By measuring all of the reflection powers reflected at the OFTs with a proposed on-site reflectometer, the water level can be monitored continuously for a fast emergency response. Moreover, it can be implemented easily with the commercially available optical components and devices with the simple configuration.

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.

홀로그래픽 기록매질 중 광정보처리나 광메로리 등에 응용연구가 활발히 진행되고 있는 포토폴리머(photopolymer)의 특성과 구조를 분석하였다. 특히, Du Pont 폴토폴리머 OmniDex 706반사형 필름을 사용하여 노광량과 입사각도에 대한 실험을 하였고 유리건판에서 반사된 빛에 의해 생기는 간섭 패턴을 분석하였다. 광중합반응시 홑몸체(monomer)의 암반응을 이용하여 고정된 노광량에서 노출시간의 변화, 노출후 확산시간 지연이란 동적인 파라미터를 설정하여 노출시간(exposure time) 6.25ch, 노출후 확산시간 지연(diffusion time delay)2분에서 회절효율의 성능을 10[%]향상시켰다.

An analysis method for the electromagnetic scattering of a tE polarized plane wave from a periodic strip grating over a grounded dielectric slab is consisered from the viewpoint of reflectio ngraing problem. The strip gratings showing bragg and off-bragg balzing phenomena at the frequency of 10GHz are designed, respectively. The strip grating structure is implemented using aluminum plate (hround conductor), paraffin(dielectric material ; .xi.$_{\gamma}$=2.24) and copper (strip conductor ; 0.08mm thickness). The experimental results (reflection power) for bragg as well as off-bragg blazing phenomenon have been compared with the theoretical results and fairly good agreements between theory and experiment have been observed.ed.

색분산 보상에 사용되는 선형 첩 광섬유 격자의 제작에 있어서 Group Delay Ripple(GDR)을 줄이기 위한 apodization 기술에 대해 이론적으로 분석하고 실험적으로 규명하고자 한다. 첩격자의 제작에는 위상 마스크를 이용한 UV 빔 스캐닝 기법을 적용하였고, PZT(Piezoelectric transducer)를 이용하여 위상 마스크를 빔 스캐닝 중에 적절하게 흔들어줌으로써 apodization이 일어나도록 하였다. 이러한 모든 과정이 컴퓨터 제어로 이루어지기 때문에 다양한 apodization 프로파일을 적용할 수 있었다. Gaussian, Raised-cosine, Blackman, 그리고 Hyperbolic tangent 등의 프로파일을 적용하여 첩격자를 제작하였으며 실험 결과 0.05 nm 구간평균 peak-to-peak GDR이 20ps 이하로 감소하였다.
