In this paper we proposed a new Bragg grating waveguide in order to improve reflectivity and to achieve compactness. Bragg gratings with various thicknesses were engraved in the middle of the core layer with a length of 3 mm. For the sake of cost-effectiveness, the $3^{rd}$ order Bragg grating waveguides were fabricated via conventional photolithography. The maximum reflectivities for the fixed width waveguide of $6{\mu}m$ with the 0.1 and $0.3{\mu}m$-thick Bragg gratings were, -13.14 and -6.25 dB, respectively, and the Bragg wavelengths were 1562.28, 1564.10 nm, respectively. A slight increase in the Bragg grating thickness can result in a remarkable reduction in the length of the Bragg grating waveguide with a fixed reflectivity.

고유치 문제에 기초한 모드 전송선로 이론 (Modal Transmission-Line Theory: MTLT)을 이용하여 비대칭 정방형 격자로 구성된 광 도파로의 누설특성과 Bragg 조건들을 정확하게 분석하였다. 비대칭 정방형 격자로 구성된 광도파로는 Bragg 조건들에서 leaky-wave stop-band가 나타났으며, Bragg 조건 근처에서 Rayleigh-Wood 조건에 기인한 anomalies 현상이 발생함을 보였다. 또한, 주기적인 격자구조의 특성 임피던스에 기초한 종 방향 등가 전송선로를 구성하여 광 도파로의 DFB 특성을 Bragg 조건에서 분석하였다. 분석 결과, leaky-wave stop-band가 발생하는 Bragg 조건 근처에서 DFB 도파로의 반사전력이 최대가 되는 filtering 특성이 활성화되는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper demonstrates the development of optical temperature sensor based on the etched silica-based planar waveguide Bragg grating. Topics include design and fabrication of the etched planar waveguide Bragg grating optical temperature sensor. The typical bandwidth and reflectivity of the surface etched grating has been ∼0.2nm and ∼9%, respectively, at a wavelength of ∼1552nm. The temperature-induced wavelength change is found to be slightly non-linear over ∼200$^{\circ}C$ temperature range. Typically, the temperature-induced fractional Bragg wavelength shift measured in this experiment is 0.0132nm/$^{\circ}C$ with linear curve fit. Theoretical models with nonlinear temperature effect for the grating response based on waveguide and plate deformation theories agree with experiments to within acceptable tolerance.

Polymeric optical waveguide devices with Bragg gratings have been investigated, for implementing tunable lasers and wavelength filters used in wavelength-division-multiplexed optical communication systems. Owing to the excellent thermo-optic effect of these polymers, wavelength tuning is possible over a wide range, which is difficult to achieve using other optical materials. In this study the phase-mask technology, which has advantages over the conventional interferometeric method, was introduced to facilitate the fabrication of Bragg gratings in polymeric optical waveguide devices. An optical setup capable of fabricating multiple Bragg gratings simultaneously on a 4-inch silicon wafer was constructed, using a 442-nm laser and phase mask. During fabrication, some of the diffracted light in the phase mask was totally reflected inside the mask, which affected the quality of the Bragg grating adversely, so experiments were conducted to solve this issue. To verify grating uniformity, two types of wavelength-filtering devices were fabricated using the phase-mask lithography, and their reflection and transmission spectra were measured. From the results, we confirmed that the phase-mask method provides good uniformity, and may be applied for mass production of polymer Bragg-grating waveguide devices.

본 논문은 식각된 평면 광도파 브래그 격자를 이용한 광온도 센서의 개발에 대한 연구로써 식각된 평면 도파로 브래그 격자의 설계, 제작, 격자 특성 연구 및 온도 측정 가능성을 주 연구 목적으로 하고 있다. 평면 식각 브래그 격자 센서의 전형적 대역폭과 그 반사도는 각각 ~l,522nm의 파장에서 ~0.2nm와 ~7%이며, 20$0^{\circ}C$까지 온도가 변화하는 동안 온도 변화에 따른 브래그 파장의 변화는 약간의 비선형성을 보였다. 광도파로와 판변형이론에 기초한 브래그 격자의 온도 변화에 따른 광파장 응답을 예측하기 위한 이론적 모델은 실험과 비교할 때 허용 오차내에서 잘 일치하고 있다.

An optical temperature sensor based on the etched planar waveguide Bragg grating is developed and its performance is explored using theoretical and experimental methods. The planar waveguide is designed and fabricated using optical lithography and wet chemical etching. An efficient butt coupled optical fiber is used to examine the spectral characteristics of the grating sensor, and to investigate the grating parameters. The typical bandwidth and reflectivity of the surface etched grating has been ~0.2 nm and ~7%, respectively, at a wavelength of ~1,552 nm. The temperature-induced wavelength change of the optical sensor is found to be slightly non-linear over ${\sim}200^{\circ}C$ temperature range. Theoretical models for the grating response of the sensor based on waveguide and classical laminated plate deformation theories agree with experiments to within acceptable tolerance.

The waveguide Bragg gratings have been fabricated by the phase-mask method. An excimer laser with maximum 600mJ output pulse energy and uniform phase masks have been used. Hydrogen loading is often used for enhancing the uv photosensitivity of the core, however, the resultant gratings show significant aging effect. In the present study, high temperature thermal annealing process has been investigated to obtain thermal gratings and process parameters are deduced.

A novel triangular-shaped plasmonic metal-insulator-metal (MIM) Bragg grating waveguide is introduced, whose band-gap is narrower than that of the conventional step type and wider than that of the sawtoothshaped one. Moreover apodized triangular-shaped MIM Bragg grating structures are proposed in order to reduce the side lobes of the transmission spectrum, because the Bragg reflector with a sawtooth profile has a smoother transmission spectrum than that of a triangular-shaped one. The performance of the proposed structures is simulated by using the finite difference time domain method.

본 논문에서는 집적 광학 광도파로 소자 기술을 적용하여 생화학 물질의 성분을 정밀하게 측정 가능한 광소자로서 폴리머 광도파로와 브래그 격자를 이용하는 구조를 최초로 제안하였다. 유효굴절률법과 전송행렬법을 이용하여 최적의 감도를 가지는 브래그 격자 광도파로를 설계하였으며 코아와 하부 클래딩의 굴절률이 각각 1.540, 1.430인 폴리머를 이용하여 코아 두께가 $3{\mu}m$ 인 구조의 반전립 광도파로를 제작하였다. 코아 층까지 완성된 도파로 위에 레이저 빔 간섭계와 플라즈마 에칭을 이용하여 격자를 형성한 뒤 격자표면에 20 nm 두께의 Au층을 증착하고 칼릭사린(calixarene) 단분자층을 만들어 바이오센서를 제작하였다. 제작된 광센서를 이용하여 PBS(phosphate bufferedsaline) 용액에 함유된 $K^+$의 농도에 따라 브래그 반사픽이 단파장으로 이동하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다.
