The 3rd order nonlinear properties show Optical bleaching (Saturation) and Reverse saturation in absorption aspect, whereas Self-focusing[3][4] and Self-defocusing in refraction aspect. Optical bleaching and Self-focusing phenomena of those properties in particular can be useful to make the optical beam spot size smaller for application on the higher optical storage density.

선광(all-optical) OR 논리소자가 반도체 광증폭기 (SOA)의 이득포화와 파장변환 특성을 이용하여 구현되었다. 전광(all-optical) OR 논리소자는 이득의 비선형성에 의해 동작되므로 SOA의 이득포화를 충분히 얻기 위해 펌프신호는 SOA의 입력단에서 어븀 첨가 광섬유 증복기(EDFA)에 의해 증폭되었다. 전광 OR논리소자의 동작특성은 2.5 Gbit/s에서 성공적으로 측정되었다.

32 채널 이상의 파장다중화 광신호 전송에서 이득포화 광신호 사용법이 적용되었고, 이 이득 포화 광신호의 세 가지 다른 적용 방법들이 비교되었다. 이 세 가지 방법은 고출력 DFB LD 들만을 사용하는 경우, 광증폭기로 증폭된 입력광원들을 사용하는 경우, 그리고 하나의 이득포화 광원과 소수의 파장다중화 광원들을 사용하는 경우들이다. 하나의 포화 광원을 이용한 경우는 다시 이 광원의 파장 의존성을 확인하기 위해 1532.3 nm, 1545.7 nm, 그리고 1558.2 nm의 세 가지 경우가 비교되었다. 그 결과 입력광원이 증폭기로 증폭되더라도 ASE에 의한 잡음은 영향이 미미하였음을 확인하였고, 포화 광원의 파장위치는 장파장인 경우 이득이 1 dB 이상 감소하였으며 그 원인이 분석되었다.

We studied the influence of GaAs top-layer thickness on the small-signal modulation response and 56 Gb/s four-level pulse-amplitude modulation eye quality of 850 nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). We considered the proportionality of the gain-saturation coefficient to the photon lifetime. The simulation results that employed the transfer-matrix method and laser rate equations led to the conclusion that the proportionality should be considered for proper explanation of the experimental results. From the obtained optical eyes, we could determine an optimum thickness of the GaAs top layer that rendered the best eye quality of VCSEL. We also compared two results: one result with a fixed gain-saturation coefficient and the other that considered the proportionality. The former result with the constant gain-saturation coefficient demonstrated a better eye quality and a wider optimum range of the GaAs top-layer thickness because the resultant higher damping reduced the relaxation oscillation.

This paper proposes a method of noninvasive reflectance light to measure the blood fractional volume (Vb) and oxygen saturation ($SO_2$) of biological tissue. We chose the red light of 660nm and infrared light of 880nm. In Vivo reflectance data were obtained by the physiological changes front the surface of the skin over the calf in human subject. The reflected light intensity from different layers within a biological tissue was measured by specially designed reflectometer to apply photon path diffusion model. The collected data represent the changes of blood (ractional volume and oxygen saturation at each reflected light wavelengths. The data evaluation was assessed by examining the slopes of the plotted indices for the changes in oxygen saturation and blood (ractional volume. The results presented in this paper claim that light reflectance can separately discriminate the change of blood volume and that of oxygenation in muscle and also in skin.

In this paper, an illumination optical system that can mitigate the saturation phenomenon in the center of an image (caused by the typical flexible-endoscope illumination system using LEDs with Lambertian light distribution) is designed. When an LED with Lambertian light distribution is used as a light source, the amount of light in the center of the endoscopic illumination system is relatively high, compared to the periphery, causing saturation in the image. Since this phenomenon causes difficulty in detecting the patient's lesion, it is necessary to find a lighting-system design that can alleviate the saturation phenomenon. Therefore, in this paper a lighting system with bat-wing light distribution, which can lower the intensity at the center and secure the maximum amount of light at the maximum light distribution angle, is designed. In addition, to check the performance of the designed lighting system, a simulation of illumination and luminance is conducted for a system using a common aspherical lens with otherwise the same components. As a result, it is confirmed that the lighting system designed in this paper effectively reduces the luminance value at the center and secures more luminance values at the periphery than the familiar lighting system.

We have evaluated the suppression effect of atmospheric-turbulence-induced optical scintillation in terrestrial free-space optical (FSO) communication systems using a gain-saturated erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA). The variation of EDFA output signal power has been measured with different amounts of gain saturation and modulation indices of the optical input signal. From the measured results, we have found that the peak-to-peak power variation was decreased drastically below 2 kHz of modulation frequency, in both 3-dB and 6-dB gain compression cases. Then, the power spectral density (PSD) of optical scintillation has been calculated with Butterworth-type transfer function. In the calculation, different levels of atmospheric-turbulence-induced optical scintillation have been taken into account with different values of the Butterworth cut-off frequency. Finally, the suppression effect of optical scintillation has been estimated with the measured frequency response of the EDFA and the calculated PSD of the optical scintillation. From our estimated results, the atmospheric-turbulence-induced optical scintillation could be suppressed efficiently, as long as the EDFA were operated in a deeply gain-saturated region.
