  • 측면이 코어 가까이 연마된 단일모드 광섬유와 평면도파로의 소산장 결합을 이용한 광필터의 동작특성을 측정할 수 있는 간단한 방법이 제안되었다. 측면이 연마된 하나의 광섬유 블록(block)과 실리콘 산호막위에 평면도파로를 독립적으로 제작한 후 특성을 측정하기 위하여 물리적 압력으로 광결합을 시켰다. 굴절률이 다른 몇 가지 폴리머를 평면도파로의 코어층으로 이용하였다. 이 측정방법으로 소자제작 과정에서 광 결합기의 중심파장, 대역폭, 소멸비, 그리고 편광 의존성들이 간단하게 측정될 수 있다. 광도파로 물질의 굴절률이 높을수록 파장선택성이 높아졌다. 평면도파로의 대칭적 도파로 구조와 도파 물질의 등방성 때문에 편광의존성이 작게 나타났다. 삽입 손실을 0.5dB이하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 측정방법은 광섬유와 평면도파로 결합기를 이용한 광변조기와 광필터 등 다양한 소자개발에 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • We demonstrate 10 Gbps optical signal transmission via long-range surface plasmon polaritons (LR-SPPs) in a very thin metal strip-guided geometry. The LR-SPP waveguide was fabricated as a 14 nm thick, 2.5 ${\mu}m$ wide, and 4 cm long gold strip embedded in a polymer and pigtailed with single-mode fibers. The total insertion loss of 16 dB was achieved at a wavelength of 1.55 ${\mu}m$ as a carrier wave. In a 10 Gbps optical signal transmission experiment, the LR-SPP waveguide exhibits an excellent eye opening and a 2.2 dB power penalty at $10^{-12}$ bit error rate. We confirm, for the first time, that LR-SPPs can efficiently transfer data signals as well as the carrier light.

  • A polymeric waveguide TE-pass polarier operating at wavelengths around 1.55.mu.m is realized by utilizing the birefringence induced by photoleaching at room temperature. To implement the polarizer, the photobleached waveguide supporting only TE mode is integrated in the middle of the etched rib waveguide that supports TE and TM modes. It has a simple structure and requires no high temperature process like poling. The measured polarization extinction ratio is about 21dB and the estimted excess loss is about 0.4dB.

  • 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.

  • We have fabricated a polymeric waveguide by using a hot embossing technique and have investigated its propagation loss. The replication of waveguide channels through the use of a hot embossing technique is of interest as a single-step process that could deliver surface roughnesses far smaller than the wavelength. We have evaluated experimentally that the sidewall roughness has a dominant effect on insertion losses of the multimode polymeric waveguide. The propagation loss of the waveguide decreased dramatically upon decreasing the sidewall roughness of the channel. We have confirmed that the preparation of waveguides having nanometer-scale sidewall roughness and 0.1 dB/cm propagation loss is possible when using the hot embossing technique.

  • Reactive mesogen (RM) is an organic liquid crystal molecule that can be self-aligned to have an optic axis of birefringence when coated over a polyimide alignment film. A free-standing optical wave-plate film consisting of RM and low-loss optical polymers was fabricated in this work, and the film was inserted across the polymer waveguide to form an integrated optical polarization converter. For convenient evaluation of the polarization converters, a waveguide polarizer and analyzer were fabricated in series. The polarization conversion efficiency was measured to be 25 dB for the wavelength range from 1520 to 1580 nm. The wave plate exhibited a temperature-dependent retardation of $4.5^{\circ}$ for a temperature change from 25 to $100^{\circ}C$.

  • Photonic crystals, periodic structure with a high refractive index contrast modulation, have recently become very interesting platform for manipulation of light. The existence of a photonic bandgap, a frequency range in which propagation of light is prevented in all direction, makes photonic crystal very useful in application where spatial localization of light is required for waveguide, beam splitter, and cavity. But fabrication of 3 dimensional photonic crystal is still difficult process. a concept that has recently attracted a lot of attention is a planar photonic crystal based on a dielectric membrane, suspended in the air, and perforated with 2 dimensional lattice of hole. We show that the polymer slabs suspended in air with triangular lattice of air hole can exhibit the in-plane photonic bandgap for TE-like modes. The fabrication of Si master with pillar structure using hot embossing process was investigated for 2 dimensional low-index-contrast photonic crystal waveguide.
