For large capacity optical CDMA networks, we propose a shared-type encoder/decoders based on an tunable wavelength converter(TWC) and an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) router. The proposed encoder/decoder treats codewords of wavelength/time 2-D code simultaneously using the dynamic code allocation property of the TWC and the cyclic property of the AWG router, and multiple subscribers can share the encoder/decoder in networks. Feasibility of the structure of the proposed encoder/decoder for dynamic code allocation is tested through simulations using two wavelength/time 2-D codes, which are the generalized multi-wavelength prime code(GMWPC) and the generalized multi-wavelength Reed-Solomon code(GMWRSC). Test results show that the proposed encoder/decoder can increase the channel efficiency not only by increasing the number of simultaneous users without any multiple-access interference but by using a relatively short length CDMA codes.

This study reports a portable and precision photonic biosensor reader that can measure the concentration of a particular antigen using an optical resonant reflection biosensor (ORRB). To create a compact biosensor reader, a compact tunable vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) and a compact built-in wavelength meter were manufactured. The wavelength stability and accuracy of the compact built-in wavelength meter were measured to be less than 0.02 nm and 0.06 nm, respectively. The tunable VCSEL emission wavelength was measured with the compact built-in wavelength meter, it has a fast sweep time (~ 10 seconds) and a wide tuning range (> 4 nm) that are sufficient for biosensor applications based on ORRB. The reflection spectrum of a plastic based ORRB chip was measured by the fabricated portable photonic biosensor reader using the VCSEL and wavelength meter. Although the reader is the size of a palmtop device, it could make a precise measurement of the peak wavelength on equal terms with a conventional bulky optical spectrometer.

In multifiber all-optical networks, optical amplifiers are used for amplifying multiple optical signals with different wavelengths in fibers. An optical amplifier operates when any of lightpaths passes through it. Therefore, it should simultaneously amplify as many lightpaths as possible for efficiently utilizing its power. This paper proposes a dynamic lightpath establishment scheme considering the use efficiency of the optical amplifiers and the depletion of the wavelength resources in multifiber all-optical networks. The proposed scheme provides a routing and wavelength assignment strategy that reduces both the power consumption of the optical amplifiers and the blocking probability of the lightpath establishment. Through simulation experiments, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

In this paper, a new family of wavelength-time codewords using modified time mapped prime sequences as a time spreading pattern is constructed. When $P_t$ = 3, we can construct $P_w^2$ wavelength-time codewords with low autocorrelation sidelobe and crosscorrelation of less than or equal to 1. When $P_t$ = 5 and $P_t$ = 7, the number of wavelength-time codewords of $P_w^2$ can be constructed with good crosscorrelation of 1 and autocorrelation of less than or equal to 2.

Nowadays Fiber optical communication systems have limitless bandwidth and can be used for transmitting various multimedia data with in real time. It is necessary to construct integrated service systems that can be used in our society whole to communicate multimedia data such as text, image, audio and video data in fiber optic communication systems. In this paper, we have designed and constructed the fiber optical link application system for multi-video/audio data transmission using only one core optical cable upgrading previous fiber optical communication systems based on WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexer). Using the proposed fiber optical link application system enables us to managing fiber optical communication systems with only one core optical cable using WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexer) and DEWDM/Wavelength splitter.

A surface-normal input/output volume holographic grating coupler (VHGC) operating at 1550nm wavelength region by using a $10{\mu}m$-thick DuPont photopolymer film is designed and fabricated. The angular and wavelength responses of the input/output VHGC are investigated in order to validate applicability of this device in integrated optics and optical communications. The effect of incident-beam position on the output reflectance to determine optimum condition for input coupling is also presented. The fabricated input/output VHGC exhibited an angular selectivity of ${\sim}0.027^{\circ}$, a wavelength selectivity of ~0.8 nm, and an output peak reflectance of 34.13%.

This thesis describes two wavelength allocation algorithms applied to OMS (Optical Multiplex Section) or OCh (Optical Channel) SPRING (Shared Protection Ring) and compares their characteristics by simulations. Two wavelength allocation algorithms are optimal algorithm and nonblocking algorithm applicable on SPRING WDM networks. In particular, when a node is added in previous ring network, how to work for each algorithm is considered. The optimal algorithm is better than nonblocking for most of comparisons. Nonblocking algorithm has an important advantage, though. Nonblocking algorithm has no wavelength connection or allocation to reconfigure some previous connections.

In this paper, we have developed wavelength swept laser system for the swept source optical coherence tomography(SS-OCT). A laser is constructed by using the two SOAs parallel configuration, fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter(FFP-TF). The wavelength sweeps are repetitively generated with the repetition period of 50Hz. The wavelength tuning range of the laser is more than FWHM of 80nm centered at the wavelength of 1310nm and the line-width of the source is 0.12 nm.

A WDM-PON has been considered as an ultimate solution for access networks. However, there were many technical and practical issues for commercial deployment. These issues were solved with wavelength locked F-P LD and the WDM-PONs employing this optical source were commercialized. These WDM-PON systems have been deployed in Korea, Europe, and US. We reviewed wavelength locking technology and WDM-PON achievements. When we inject spectrum sliced broadband light into an F-P LD, the multimode output is changed to a quasi single mode. Then, we can use the single mode light for WDM signal transmission. The broad spectral gain of the semiconductor gain medium enables a color-free operation of WDM-PON, i.e., an identical ONT can be used for each user. The wavelength locking properties depend on many parameters, especially alignment of injection wavelength to a lasing mode, passband profile of AWG and front facet reflectivity of F-P LD. However, these dependencies can be reduced by proper design of the laser and the injection bandwidth. Thus, WDM-PON systems have been achieved with color-free operation.

The th ermal and optical properties of multicomponent oxide glass optical fiber by adding heavy metal oxide Ga$_{2}$O$_{3}$(0-20wt%) were investigated. The fiber samples were made by the method of rod in tube. The optical loss of fiber was measured in 0.3-1.8.mu.m wavelength region. As Ga$_{2}$O$_{3}$ increased up to 20wt%, the transition and softening temperature of bulk glass were increased from 495.deg. C to 579.deg. C and from 548.deg. C to 641.deg. C, respectively. Whereas the thermal expansion coefficient was decreased from 102 to 79.1x10$^{-7}$ /.deg. C. The refractive index was increased from 1.621 to 1.665, and IR cut-off wavelength was enlarged from 4.64.mu.m to 6.1.mu.m. The optical loss of fiber was remarkably decreased in 1.146.mu.m-1.8.mu.m wavelength region.
