  • In this paper, a 12.5-Gb/s optical transmitter is implemented using 0.13-${\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The optical transmitter that we constructed compensates temperature effects of VCSEL (Vertical cavity surface emitting laser) using auto-power control (APC) and auto-modulation control (AMC). An external monitoring photodiode (MPD) detects optical power and modulation. The proposed APC and AMC demonstrate 5$\sim$20-mA of bias-current control and 5$\sim$20-mA of modulation-current control, respectively. To enhance the bandwidth of the optical transmitter, an active feedback amplifier with negative capacitance compensation is exploited. The whole chip consumes only 140.4-mW of DC power at a single 1.8-V supply under the maximum modulation and bias currents, and occupies the area of 1280-${\mu}m$ by 330-${\mu}m$ excluding bonding pads.

  • We demonstrate a time- and wavelength-division multiplexed passive optical network system employing a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser array-based optical line terminal transceiver and a tunable bidirectional optical subassembly-based optical network terminal transceiver. A packet error-free operation is achieved after a 40 km single-mode fiber bidirectional transmission. We also discuss an arrayed waveguide grating, a photo detector array based on complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor photonics technologies, and low-cost key devices for deployment in access networks.

  • We report fiber guiding experiments on the Photonic Quantum Ring(PQR) laser diode. In the 1km transmission measurements, we find that the PQR performs much better than the VCSEL. This suggests that the PQR laser is very promising candidate for LAN-range optical data communications. On the other hand, we have also fabricated 8$\times$8 PQR laser arrays and measured spatial decays for free space properties without using any guiding optics, which showed about 1m distance of spectral angle sensing.

  • Consumer electronics is rapidly digitalized invoking the necessity of digital signal transmission. Moreover, even in consumer electronics, occasionally signal speed is over 1Gbps and long distance transmission(over 5 meters) is required. For these requirements, even though optical transmission is ideal, cost problem has blocked up its entrance to consumer market. However, inexpensive and high speed optical devices such as VCSEL, PIN or MSN PD with large detecting area and low capacitance and Plastic Optical Fiber have been developed so that optical solution can be compete with electrical one in consumer electronics.

  • This paper presents a 4-channel optical transmitter circuit realized in a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology for high-speed digital interface. Particularly, the VCSEL driver exploits the feed-forward technique, and the pre-amplifier employs the pulse-width control. Thus, the optical transmitter operates at the bias current up to 4mA and the modulation current from $2{\sim}8mA_{pp}$. with the pulse-width distortion compensated effectively. The 4-channel optical transmitter array chip occupies the area of $1.0{\times}1.7mm^2$ and dissipates 35mW per channel at maximum current operations from a single 1.8V supply.

  • Vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser(VCSEL)s operating at 1.3-micron wavelength for optical communication are fabricated by using Si/SiO$_2$dielectric quater-wave pairs on both sides of the InGaAsP(${\lambda}_g$=1.3 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) gain material. VCSELs are optically pumped with a Nd-YAG laser in a pulsed mode and lasing around 1.3 microns is observed. Lasing characteristics such as threshold pump intensity as a function of mirror-reflectivity, polarization, and threshold pump density with pump spot size are investigated.

  • 반도체 산업의 눈부신 발전은 진공관을 대신할 다이오드와 트랜지스터를 발명함으로써 저전력, 소형화에 성공하였기 때문이며, 또한, IC의 발명으로 이를 집적화하여 대량생산이 가능하고, 제품 제작을 용이하게 함으로써 제품 제작가격을 낮출 수 있게 되었기 때문이다. 이와 마찬가지로 가스 레이저를 대신할 반도체 레이저의 발명은 광통신의 핵심 부품인 광원의 저전력, 소형화를 실현시킴으로써 광통신 시대를 열게 하였다. 반도체 레이저의 발명으로 저전력, 소형화에는 성공하였으나, 비싼 광통신 부품은 본격적인 광통신 시대 실현에 걸림돌이 되고 있다. 반도체 산업의 주역인 IC 칩과 같은 저전력이며, 집적화가 가능하고, 대량 생산이 용이하여 가격이 저렴한 광 부품이 필요하다. 이런 이유로 광 부품 중 핵심 기술인 광원에 있어서는 표면방출레이저(VCSEL)가주목 받고 있다. 본 고에서는 각 파장 대역별로 표면방출레이저 소자의 기술 및 현황을 설명하고, 이들의 다양한 응용 분야 그리고 현재의 표면방출레이저 소자 시장 동향을 살펴 본다.

  • 새로운 고 용량 광 저장 시스템 개발을 위하여 초 미세 개구를 가지는 마이크로 프로브 어레이시스템 완성을 목표로 연구를 진행하였다. 효율적인 초 미세 개구 생성을 위해 기존의 제작된 마이크로 프로브 위에 FIB 공정을 이용하여 40nm 크기를 가지는 어퍼쳐를 만들었다. 나노 어퍼쳐를 가지는 마이크로 프로브 어레이는 곧 마이크로 렌즈와 VCSEL 과 일체화된 광 기록 헤드시스템으로 준비될 예정이다. 멤스 공정을 이용한 이 시스템은 향후 높은 저장 용량과 빠른 전송속도를 달성할 수 있는 차세대 광정보저장기기에 적용 가능한 새로운 광 픽업 시스템을 발전시킬 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
