The use of null optics is proposed as a new concept for the precise alignment of a confocal unstable resonator. The characteristics of the proposed null optics are investigated and analysed with the designed null lens for a real confocal unstable resonator of which the length is 3.5 m. As a result of the analysis, the pupil map data are shown about the despace error of 1.0 mm and tilt error of 1.0 mrad.

In this paper, a low phase noise oscillator is designed using an interdigital hairpin resonator for UTIS (Urban Traffic Information Systems). The interdigital hairpin resonator has several characteristics compared with a conventional hairpin resonator, which are 70% size reduction and improvement of harmonic characteristics. In addition, Q (Quality factor) of the interdigital hairpin resonator is about 132, which is suitable for the design of a low phase noise oscillator. The oscillator suggested in this paper shows the output power of 12 dBm and the phase noise characteristic of -100.8 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset frequency from the center frequency of 5.75 GHz. The phase noise is improved by about 12 dB compared with a conventional oscillator using an interdigital hairpin resonator.

We have fabricated and characterized MMI (Multimode Interference) coupled ring resonator with the total internal reflection mirrors and the semiconductor optical amplifier for the integration of the WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) system. The TIR (Total Internal Reflection) mirrors were fabricated by self-aligned process and had losses of about 0.71 dB per mirror. Coupling in and out of a resonator was achieved using the extremely small MMI couplers. The MMI length and width used in the experiment were $119{\mu}m$ and $9{\mu}m$, respectively. The resulting FSR (Free Spectral Range) and on-off ratio were approximately 1.333 nm (162 GHz) and 13 dB, respectively.

In this paper, low phase noise push-push oscillator (OSC) using the metamaterial resonator for missile defense systems and satellite communication was design and implemented. The metamaterial resonator has the large coupling coefficient value, which makes a high Q value, and has reduced phase noise of OSC. The OSC with 1.8 V power supply has phase noise of -117 dBc/Hz @100 kHz in the 12 GHz. When it has been compared with metamaterial resonator and coventional spiral resonator, the reduced Q value has been -29.7 dB and -47.6 dB respectively. This low phase noise OSC using metamaterial resonator could be available to a OSC in X-band.

The substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) structure can be approximated as the rectangular waveguide using common dielectric substrate with via-holes. To realize reflection-type resonator, $50-{\omega}$ microstrip line can be used for coupling with the center plane of the cavity. The oscillator is designed to operate at 9.45 GHz using the reflection-type SIW cavity resonator. The phase noise of oscillator shows -98.1dBc/Hz at 100 KHz offset. In experiment, the reflection type SIW cavity resonator improves the loaded quality factor making the low phase noise oscillator possible. Due to the entirely planar structure of this resonator, this technique can also be adequate in oscillator applications for a low cost and low phase noise performance.

In this paper, the bandpass filter for ITS system of 5.8 GHz is proposed by using the dual-mode resonator with the radial stub. As alternating the open stub with the radial stub, the size of the dual mode resonator can be reduced about 39.6% and the out-of-band characteristics of the bandpass filter using dual mode resonator can be enhanced from 19.4 dB to 29.1 dB by using the stub of $6.9{\Omega}$ i.e. realized by parallel two radial stubs with $60^{\circ}$ angle. The fabricated bnadpass filter using the dual mode resonator has the center frequency of 5.72 GHz with the fractional bandwidth of 4.1%. Also, the filter has the insertion loss and return loss of 1.79 dB and 19.4 dB, respectively.

We report on the parameter-dependent optical characteristics of the unidirectional single-mode lasing square ring cavities. Using the taper-step section in the square cavities, the resonant direction can be selected and we characterize the optical losses by changing the taper lengths. Various kinds of square ring cavities are fabricated, based on InGaAsP/InGaAs multiple quantum well semiconductor materials. From the experimental results we obtain the optimized taper length for a given device structure, while maintaining unidirectional single-mode lasing.

The BPF designed by the formula based on strip line shows the center frequency shift and distortion in filter response and this becomes more significant with higher frequency. In this paper, the novel design based on EM simulation is proposed. In the design, the filter is decomposed into individual resonators and, for each resonator, the reactance slope and the inverter values are measured and tuned to desired design values for a inverter BPF prototype. The filter composed with such resonators shows the desired filter response without further tuning. This is because possible effects of discontinuities and dispersion are included in the filter parameter extraction. The method can generally apply to all filters that can be transformed into inverter BPF prototype. The procedure is verified by designing a 5th-order SIR filter and quite general to adapt into the design of a parallel coupled line filter, and hair-pin filter.
