We compare feedback wavelength-dependent performances of all-optical gain-clamped 980-nm pumped erbium-doped fiber amplifiers. In a 2.5-Gbps 8-channel WDM system, we have measured and compared gain compressions, signal power variations due to cross-saturation, power penalties caused by relaxation oscillations and noise figures for three different feedback wavelengths - 1532, 1543, and 1565 nm.

We demonstrate a novel wavelength -division add/drop multiplexer employing fiber bragg gratings and polarization beam splitters. the multiplexer is easy to fbricate without any special technique such as UV trimming, and yet shows very stable performance with less than 0.3-dB crosstalk power penalty in a 0.8-nm-spaced, 2.5Gbps-per-channel WDM transmission system. We find that the rejection of adjacent channels is more than -6dB, and the signal leakage through output port is less than -34dB.

The main features of a dielectric-loaded surface plasmon polariton waveguide are analyzed such as mode effective index and propagation length. These parameters are calculated using the finite element method for different metal-polymer pairs while varying the ridge width and thickness. As a performance metric, we employ the 2D figure of merit including two conflicting parameters i.e. mode effective index and propagation length. The results obtained here allow one to identify the parameter range for realizing the dielectric-loaded surface plasmon polariton waveguide and to choose dimension and material of the ridge for subwavelength confinement and moderate propagation loss at telecom wavelengths.

광주파수에서 대역을 나누어주는 광필터를 이용하여, 기존의 2 코어를 이용한 단방향 광통신을 1 코어를 이용한 양방향 통신으로 전환하여 광선로 절감효과를 얻을 수 있다. 그러나 그런 양방향 통신에서 CWDM (coarse wavelength-division multiplexing) 광채널들에 대한 채널 감시가 요구된다. 정확한 정보전달을 위하여 광원의 특성을 모니터하고, 또한 보드의 신호 레벨에서 감시를 통하여 신호의 오전달을 감시한다. 본 발표논문에서는 광선로 절감에 따른 CWDM 광채널의 성능 개선을 위한 감시기술에 대하여 설명하고, 망교체시에 다른 선로에 영향을 최소로 하는 적절한 감시기술을 설명한다.

Propagation modes of symmetric metal-insulator-metal SPP waveguides are analyzed. Main characteristics of these waveguides such as mode effective index, propagation length, and penetration depths are calculated at the telecom wavelength for different layer thickness. We adopt Au, Al as a metal material and air, glass as a dielectric material and obtain different optical characteristics. The surface plasmon characteristics in this paper provide a numerical insight for designing nanostructure metal plasmon waveguide.

We design and fabricate a novel tunable wavelength filter, which utilizes long-range surface plasmon-polaritons excited along nm-thick-metal strips. A gold metal strip, with $\sim$ cm length, 20 nm thickness, and $\sim$ 5$\mu$m width, is embedded in thick thermo-optic Polymer films supported by a silicon wafer. A dielectric Bragg grating structure is Placed on the metal strip, so that transmission signals at telecom wavelength are selected by thermal effect of the thermo-optic polymer. High extinction ratio of 25 dB and total insertion loss of $\sim$25 dB/cm can be measured by single-mode coupling of optical fibers. We also verify that wavelength tuning of the long-range surface plasmon-polariton filters can be achieved by electric current directly applied to the metal-strip waveguides.

DWDM(DensedWavelengthDivisionMultiplexing)은 광 파이버를 이용하여 기존의 통신보다 높은 대역폭(B/W)을 얻기 위한 기술로 여러 신호를 각각 다른 파장으로 변조해 하나의 Fiber 를 통해 전송하는 방식이며, 기본적으로 EDFA(Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier), AWG(Arrayed Wave guide Grating), OADM(Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer) 등의 주요 부품과 여러 광 관련 부품들로 구성돼 있으며, 다수의 파장을 MUX(AWG)에서 다중화하고, 장거리 전송을 위해 OA(EDFA)에서 광신호를 증폭하게 된다 그리고 일부 특정 파장만 Add/Drop하기 위해 OADM이 놓이게 되며, 또한 선로(광섬유)의 손실을 보상하기 위해 필요한 구간에 리피터(EDFA)를 두어 광신호를 증폭 송신하며 수신단에서는 들어오는 여러 파장을 OA(EDFA)를 통해 증폭한 후 DEMUX(AWG)에서 역 다중화해 수신하게 된다. 이와 같은 DWDM방식을 이용한 Network는 Star, Mesh, Ring 등의 다양한 형태로 구성될 수 있으며, 초기에는 Point-to-Point 방식의 장거리 전송에 주로 사용돼 왔으나 Metro 구간의 Traffic 이 급격히 증가하면서 Metro- DWDM Network 이 부각되고 있어 본 논문에서는 현재 SK Telecom에서 상용화되고 있는 1,600G DWDM과 Metro-DWDM간의 망 구축의 최적화 방안을 연구해 본다.

The thermal behavior of an arrayed-waveguide grating made of a silica/polymer hybrid waveguide was examined. We experimentally confirmed that the hybrid waveguide is effective to decrease the temperature and polarization dependence of the center wavelength owing to the negative thermo-optic coefficient of the refractive index and extremely low baking temperature of the polymer cladding. However, the detachment of the polymer cladding from the silica core, which took place either during a repeated heat cycle test or during long-term storage in atmosphere, was a serious problem for practical use.
