A novel planar lightwave circuit(PLC) triplexer using a three-waveguide interferometer(TWI) is proposed and examined using the transfer matrix and the beam propagation methods. The proposed triplexer consists of two three-waveguide couplers and three waveguides connecting the couplers. Simulation for the TWI triplexer shows the excess losses of 0.03 dB and 0.94 dB with the crosstalks of -22.3 dB and -14.5 dB in reception, respectively, for the wavelength of 1490- and 1550-nm, while showing the excess loss of 1.75 dB in transmission for the wavelength of 1310 nm. The proposed design shows compact feature as short as 11.5 mm for the refractive-index contrast of 0.45%.

We propose a novel planar optical interconnection scheme for 100 Gb/s optical packet address detection, which consists of waveguide grating couplers and a diffractive microlens integrated on a glass substrate 3-dimensionally. Length and duty cycle of the grating couplers have been determined on the bases of the ray-optic propagation-mode analysis in a slab waveguide and of the rigorous coupled-wave diffraction analysis for out-coupled radiation-modes. The 3-dimensionally integrated planar optics makes it possible to connect each address bit-signals of $TE_ 0-waveguide$ mode to the detector with a power uniformity of 6.4 % and a total coupling efficiency of 72.3 %.

We propose and fabricate a vertically integrated waveguide thermo-optic switch. It controls the optical path between two vertically stacked waveguide. As a first step, we fabricate polymeric waveguides. The measured propagation loss is ranged from 0.3 db/cm to 0.4 dB/cm at the wavelength of 1.55 $\mu\textrm{m}$. We fabricate the proposed vertically integrated waveguide thermo-optic switch to demonstrate its preliminary feasibility. The measured crosstalk is better than -10 db. The power consumption is about 500 mW. Further effort is necessary to improve its performance.

In this study, a beam-coupling system is designed to improve the coupling efficiency of achip-integrated spectrometer when the waveguide is arranged in a linear and discrete manner. In the proposed system the beam is shaped to be anti-Gaussian, to deposit adequate energy in the edge waveguides. The beam is discretely coupled to the corresponding waveguide by a microlens array, to improve the coupling efficiency, and is compressed by a toroidal lens to match the linear discrete waveguides. Based on the findings of this study, the coupling efficiency of the spectrometer is shown to increase by a factor of 2.57. Accordingly, this study provides a reference basis for the improvement of the coupling efficiency of other similar spectrometers.

실리콘과 전광 고분자 물질을 기반으로 한 새로운 광 결정 광변조기를 제안하고, 설계 및 검증을 수행하였다. 이는 실리콘 물질로 된 광 결정 도파로의 중심에 전광 고분자 물질로 된 슬롯 형태의 도파로를 삽입한 구조로 구성된다. 좁은 폭의 전광 고분자 슬롯도파로를 진행하는 광 신호는 주변의 광 결정 구조에 의해 매우 낮은 군속도를 갖게 될 뿐만 아니라, 전광 고분자 내로의 강한 광학적 구속력을 갖게 되어 광-물질 간의 활발한 상호작용과 매우 높은 전기-광학적 효과를 얻을 수 있다.

We propose a taper-underlaid spot-size converter (TU-SSC) with an offset which consists of two vertically stacked taper layers. The designed TU-SSC reduces coupling loss of a high index-contrast waveguide with $1.5%{\Delta}$ to a single mode fiber from 1.5 dB to 0.27 dB. We also considered the effects of mask misalignment in the fabrication process of TU-SSC, and optimized the design of TU-SSC so that the additional loss of TU-SSC for the mask misalignment of $3{\mu}m$ in the photo-lithography process was as low as 0.13 dB.

본 논문에서는 이중 금속선으로 이루어진 다양한 곡선형 도파로를 고려하고 이 구조들에서 전파하는 모드의 특성을 수치해석적으로 분석하였다. 이중 금속선들 간의 간격과 내부 유전체의 굴절률 변화에 따라 곡선형 도파로의 최적 반경과 최소손실의 경향을 조사하였으며, 그 결과 이중 금속선 구조가 단일 금속선 구조보다 전파특성이 좋은 최적 구조가 존재함을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 광통신 시스템에 있어서 필수적인 기능으로 전망되고 있는 전광 논리소자를 구현하기 위한 집적된 광소자를 제작, 측정 하였다. 유기금속화학증착법(MOCVD)을 이용한 선택영역 성장기술을 이용하여 서로 다른 두 활성영역을 한 기판위에 성장함으로써 능동 반도체 광소자인 반도체 광증폭기와 수동 반도체 광소자인 다중모드 간섭 도파로, S-자 도파로를 집적하였다. 집적된 수동 소자부분의 손실을 측정하고 전광 논리소자를 구현하는 방법 중 하나인 반도체 광증폭기의 cross-gain modulation(XGM)특성을 측정하여 집적된 전광 논리소자로의 사용 가능성을 알아보았다.

The evanescent wave coupling of a microring resonator is controlled by changing the gap distance between the bus waveguide and the microring waveguide. However, the interdependence of the bus waveguide's width and the coupling is not well understood. In this paper, we investigate the dependence of coupling strength on the bus waveguide's width. The strength of the evanescent wave coupling is analytically calculated using coupled-mode theory (CMT) and numerically calculated by three-dimensional finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) simulation. The analytic and numerical simulation results show that the phase-matching condition in evanescent wave coupling does not provide maximum coupling strength, because both phase-matching and mode confinement influence the coupling. The analytic and simulation results for the evanescent coupling correspond to the experimental results. The optimized bus-waveguide width that provides maximum coupling strength results in intrinsic quality factors of up to 1.3 × 10⁶. This study provides reliable guidance for the design of microring resonators, depending on various applications.
