This study proposes a novel optical sensor structure based on a refractometer combining a bend waveguide with an air trench. The optical sensor is a $1{\times}2$ splitter structure with a reference channel and a sensing channel. The reference channel has a straight waveguide. The sensing channel consists of a U-bend waveguide connecting four C-bends, and a trench structure to partially expose the core layer. The U-bend waveguide consists of one C-bend with the maximum optical loss and three C-bends with minimum losses. A trench provides a quantitative measurement environment and is aligned with the sidewall of the C-bend having the maximum loss. The intensity of the output power depends on the change in the refractive index of the measured material. The insertion loss of the proposed optical sensor changes from 3.7 dB to 59.1 dB when the refractive index changes from 1.3852 to 1.4452.

본 논문에서는 S-대역에서 동작하는 동축선로 도파관 형태의 공간 결합기 구조를 제안하였다. 제안된 결합기는 동축 선로 도파관, 임피던스 변환기, 핀라인-마이크로스트립 변환기로 구성되어 있다. 동축선로 도파관은 구형 도파관과는 달리 균일한 전자기장 분포를 얻을 수가 있기 때문에 전력을 균일하게 공급할 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 핀라인-마이크로스트립 변환기는 Antipodal 안테나를 이용하여 설계 하였으며, 소반사(small reflection) 이론을 적용하여 낮은 반사계수를 얻었다. Back-to-back으로 연결된 공간 결합기를 측정한 결과 최대 95%의 결합 효율을 얻었다.

In order to monitor the pipe thinning caused by flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC) that occurs in coolant piping systems, a shear horizontal ultrasonic pitch-catch waveguide technique was developed for accurate pipe wall thickness monitoring. A clamping device for dry coupling contact between the end of the waveguide and pipe surface was designed and fabricated. A computer program for multi-channel on-line monitoring of the pipe thickness at high temperature was also developed. Both a four-channel buffer rod pulse-echo type and a shear horizontal ultrasonic waveguide type for high-temperature thickness monitoring system were successfully installed to the test section of the FAC proof test facility. The overall measurement error can be estimated as ${\pm}10{\mu}m$ during a cycle from room temperature to $200^{\circ}C$.

This paper proposes a half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) amplifier using lumped-element transition. The input and output impedances of this amplifier are matched by the lumped-element transition structure. This structure provides compact impedance and mode matching circuits between the HMSIW and a stand-alone amplifier. Surface mount technology inductors and capacitors are implemented to realize the lumped-element transition. A prototype of the proposed HMSIW amplifier shows 15 dB gain with 3 dB bandwidth of 4 to 7.05 GHz in a simulation and measurement.

전계흡수형 반도체 광도파로에서 흡수된 빛에 의해 발생된 광전류는 전파되는 파장에 따라 Fabry-Perot 모드의 간섭패턴을 나타냄을 보이고, 이로부터 인가전압에 따른 흡수계수의 변화를 측정할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. 광전류 신호는 파장에 따라 공명 반공명을 반복해서 나타내며 그 진폭은 흡수계수의 크기에 의존하므로 전계에 따른 흡수계수의 변화량을 측정 할 수 있었고, 1.55 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 파장에서 역전압 1.5V 인가시 bulk in GaAsP의 흡수계수 변화는 대략 157cm-1임을 알 수 있었다.

Hybrid thin film nanostructures composed of metal nanoparticles (NPs) and self-assembled polymer films with different spatial distributions of NPs were analyzed by optical waveguide spectroscopy (OWS). Specifically, the dielectric constants were calculated using effective medium theory for the incorporation of 1 vol% Au NP into the block copolymer (BCP) films having a cylindrical nanodomain morphology. Three cases were considered: uniform distribution of NPs in the film; selective distribution of NPs only in the cylindrical domains; and segregation of NPs to the center of the cylindrical domains. The optical waveguide spectra derived from the calculated dielectric constants demonstrate the feasibility of experimentally distinguishing the composite nanostructures with different inner morphologies in the hybrid metal NP-BCP nanostructures, by the measurement of the dielectric constants using OWS.

We have proposed a novel planar lightwave circuit (PLC) optical sensor to monitor the contamination in a flow-cell where water is continuously supplied through a water quality measurement system. We designed a PLC chip with a V-shape waveguide and the simulated its function as a sensor for monitoring contamination in a flow-cell using a numerical the FDTD (finite-difference time-domain) analysis. A novel cross type of waveguide was introduced to make the PLC chip of the V-shaped waveguide. The fabricated PLC was cut into the cross waveguide. A change in the optical propagation loss of the PLC sensor was observed after immersing the PLC sensor into city water. It was determined that the propagation loss of the PLC sensor was 3 dB at a wavelength of $1.55{\mu}m$ in the city water for 15 days.

Separate confinement heterostructure(SCH) 구조를 갖는 InGaAs/InGaAsP 다중양자우물구조의 상호섞임을 이용하여 광도파로를 제작하였다. 광도파로는 $CH_4/H_2$ 혼합가스를 이용한 반응성 이온 식각 방식으로 제작하였으며, 제작된 광도파로는 폭이 $5{\mu}m$이고, 식각 깊이가 $1.2{\mu}m$이다. 광도파로의 전송손실은 tunable laser를 이용한 Fabry-Perot 간섭현상을 이용하여 측정하였다. $800^{\circ}C$, 30s 열처리한 후 제작된 광도파로는 1550,nm TE 모드에서 3.76dB/cm, TM 모드에서 3.95dB/cm의 전송손실을 보였다. 이 전송 손실은 지금까지 ,IFVD를 이용해 제작한 광도파로와 비교해서 매우 작은 값이다. 따라서, 이 방법은 광도파로등의 수동소자와 전자소자의 집적에 응용될 수 있다.

In this paper, an epsilon near zero (ENZ) tunneling circuit using a double-ridge rectangular waveguide (RWG) is proposed for the miniaturization of a waveguide component. The proposed ENZ channel and is located in the middle of the input-output RWG (IORWG). The ratio of the height to the width of the channel waveguide is very small compared to the IORWG. By properly adjusting the ridge dimensions, the tunneling frequency of the proposed ENZ channel can be lowered to near the cut-off frequency of the IORWG. For the proposed ENZ tunneling circuit, the approach adopted for extracting the effective permittivity, effective permeability;normalized effective wave impedance, and propagation constant from the simulated scattering parameters was explained. The extracted parameters verified that the proposed channel is an ENZ channel and electromagnetic energy is tunneling through the channel. Simulation and measurement results of the fabricated ENZ channel structure agreed.
