We theoretically investigated dispersion tolerance of an optical duobinary transmitter employed a Mach-Zehnder modulator and an optical filter. Compared to the optical transmitter based on a Mach-Zehnder modulator and an optical delay interferometer by optimizing the applied voltage for improving the dispersion tolerance, the demonstrated duobinary transmitter provides improved receiver sensitivity and higher dispersion tolerance while maintaining narrow spectral bandwidth.

In this work, we investigated hydrogen content, bond structure, and electrical properties of a-Si:H films prepared by ECR plasma CVD as a function of pressure. In general, the photo sensitivity of a-Si:H films prepared by CVD method decreases as the deposition rate increases, but the photo sensitivity of a-Si:H films prepared by ECR plasma deposition method increases as the deposition rate increases. In the same condition of microwave power, the ratio of $SiH_4/H_2$, and pressure, though film thickness increases linearly with deposition time and hydrogen content in the film is constant, photo conductivity can be decreased because $SiH_2$ bond is made more than SiH bond in the short reaction time. According to increase pressure in the chamber, SiH bond in the film increase and optical energy gap decrease. So, photo conductivity can be increased. But photo sensitivity decreased as dark conductivity increase. It must be grown in the condition of low pressure and hydrogen gas for taking the a-Si:H film of high quality.

We have fabricated and evaluated a new Si pin photodiode for red light detection with the web patterned $p^{+}$ -shallow diffused region in the light absorbing area. From the measurements of electro-optical characteristics under the bias of -5V, the junction capacitance of 4pF and the dark current of 235pA were obtained. When the 1.6㎼ optical power with peak wavelength of 670nm was incident on the device, the optical signal current of 0.48$\mu\textrm{A}$ and the responsivity of 0.30A/W were obtained. The fabricated device showed the improved sensitivity compared to the conventional circular type device and the maximum spectral response in a spectrum of 670~700nm. The web-patterned Si photodiode can be expected to have the good discrimination characteristics between digital signals in the application of red light optics.

In this paper, theoretical acoustic sensitivity was derived to describe acousto-optic transduction property of the mandrel type fiber optic acoustic sensor with respect to external acoustic field. The acoustic sensitivity was analyzed in relation to both material properties and geometrical influence factors of the constitutional parts of the sensor, analytically. Validity of the theoretical results were verified through comparison with the finite element analysis results. The variation trends of the sensitivity of the sensor in relation to the studied parameters showed good agreement for the two analysis methods. According to the results, it is considered more economical to design the basic structure of the sensor with the analytic equations developed in this paper, and then to carry out further detailed analysis with the finite element method for specific points of design interest.

A signal processing technique for interferometric fiber-optic sensors is proposed. It does not require a any special optic components such as phase modulator, $3times3$ couplers,to obtain the full sensitivity of the interferometer. Instead, it requires a reference interferometer for phase referencing and a reference mirror for intensity referencing, but intensity referencing can be done without using the r reference mirror. The new technique utilizes the frequency chirping of the laser diode to process t the sensor signal with both wide dynamic range and high sensitivity of the interferometer. It was a applied to an internal-mirrored FP interferometric temperature sensor to obtain the system noise of $4\times10^{-3\circ}C$ from I cm FP Interferometor sensor device.

본 논문에서는 광을 이용한 전류 측정 장치의 연구 내용에 대하여 기술하였다. 광을 이용한 전류 측정 장치의 가장 큰 문제점은 감도 저하를 주는 선형 복굴절 양이며, 이러한 선형 복굴절을 줄이는 방법은 광섬유를 비틀어서 선형 복굴절 양에 비해 원형 복굴절의 양을 크게 해주는 방법을 사용하였다. 광섬유를 비틀어서 측정한 결과는 측정 감도가 약 3배의 증가를 보였으며, 측정오차의 경우도 1 % 이내의 선형성을 나타내었다. 본 실험의 결과로 광섬유를 비트는 방법이 광을 이용한 전류 측정 장치의 선형 복굴절을 크게 감소시킴을 알 수 있었으며, 대전류 측정에 측정도를 높일 수 있다고 판단된다.

Photosensitivity of a ITO/a-Si : H/Al photodiode without blocking layer was 0.7 under the applied voltage of 5 V and peak spectral sensitivity in visible region was found at 620 nm. Dark current of ITO/a-SiN : H/a-Si : H/p-a-Si : H/Al photodiode was suppressed by hole blocking layer and electron blocking layer at the value of lower than 1.5 pA to the applied voltage of 10 V. Also maximum photosensitivity was about 1 under the applied voltage of 3 V and peak spectral sensitivity was found at 540 nm.

In this paper, a novel platform for chemical sensing and biosensing is presented. The working principle is based on the coupling efficiency and interference properties of optical directional coupler (DC) and multimode interference coupler (MMIC). It has been realized using planar technology to allow integration on a silicon substrate. Firstly, the dispersion curves of DC and MMIC is described, and the design specification of an optimized slot optical waveguide to increase waveguide sensitivity is selected. Next, the sensor response to the refractive index change of sensing analyte is numerically simulated. The numerical results reveal that high effective index change per refractive index unit (RIU) change of analyte is obtained, and the sensitivity can be tuned using the DC and MMIC design technique.
