In this study we report a wet-etching-based fabrication method for adiabatic optical-fiber tapers (OFTs), and describe their adiabaticity and HE₁₁ mode evolution at a wavelength of 1550 nm. The profile of the fabricated system satisfies the adiabaticity properties well, and the far-field pattern from the etched OFT shows that the fundamental HE₁₁ mode is maintained without a higher-order mode coupling throughout the tapers. In addition, the measured far-field pattern agrees well with the simulated result. The proposed adiabatic OFTs can be applied to a number of photonic applications, especially fiber-chip packages. Based on the fabricated adiabatic OFT structures, the optical transmission to the inversely tapered silicon waveguide shows large spatial-dimensional tolerances for 1 dB excess loss of ~60 ㎛ (silicon waveguide angle of 1°) and insertion loss of less than 0.4 dB (silicon waveguide angle of 4°), from the numerical simulation. The proposed adiabatic coupler shows the ultrabroadband coupling efficiency over the O- and C-bands.

In this paper, a photoelectric image detection system is proposed using an APD(Avalanche Photodiode) sensor, a LED illuminator, and fiberoptic waveguides. This proposed pinhole detection system can detect the pinholes of 100 micron with the speed rate of 1,000mpm(meter per minute). And detecting performance of image system is improved by the SQL based DB analysis of classifying pinhole's detected location and size using image detection algorithms.

Non-uniform optical taper waveguides have been widely used as devices for high-efficiency mode coupling, as they are integrated with single-mode optical fibers or photonic crystal waveguides. In this paper, we present a new platform for chemical sensing and bio-sensing using optical taper waveguides with these characteristics. The principle of operation is based on the coupling efficiency and interference properties of optical directional coupler (DC) and multi-mode interference coupler (MMIC). First, the curvature characteristics of taper sections of DC and MMIC is explained, and the design specifications of optimized taper waveguide to increase waveguide sensitivity is selected. Next, the sensor response to the change in refractive index of sensing analyte is numerically analyzed. Numerical results show that as the length of couplers increases, the effective index per change in refractive index unit (RIU) of analyte increases, and that sensitivity can be tuned using taper DC and MMIC design techniques.

This paper is studied the high-repetition rate optical-pulse stream generation using optical loop mirror coupler. With the recent development of the ultrahigh-speed optical time division multiplexed system, hish-repetition rate optical-pulse stream generation is necessary. This is different from conventional approaches, which use fiber or integrated waveguide delay line circuits. The high-repetition-rate optical-pulse multiplication phenomenon occurs when the optical pulse's spectral width is greater than the transfer bandwidth of the coupler used. From the analysis, the output repetition rate can be controlled by using fiber couplers with different equivalent transfer bandwidths. The pulse separation spacing is controlled by number of cascaded coupler in optical loop mirror coupler scheme.

전자파 문제는 넓은 의미로 산란(scattering)문제와 역산란(inverse scattering)문제로 나눌 수 있다. 먼저 산란 문제는 에너지 또는 정보가 실린 전자파를 한 지점에서 다른 지점으로 보낼 때 통과하는 경로상의 매질 분포에 따라 왜곡 또는 변형되는 정도를 알아내는 것으로 반사(reflection), 굴절(refraction), 회절(diffraction)등 의 현상을 수반한다. 이 때 전자파를 왜곡시키는 물체를 산란체라고 부르며, 이러한 산란체로서는 전송선, 도파관, 광섬유 등과 같은 도파구조(guided wave structure)자체일 수 있으며 그들 내부에 고의로 부착된 첨가물일 수도 있다. 또한 공기나 지하와 같은 개방 구조 내의 물체나 비균일 매질 분포도 산란체가 될 수 있다. 이와는 반대로 역산란 문제는 알고 있는 전자파를 미지의 산란체에 가한 후, 여기서 산란된 전자파를 측정하여 얻은 자료로 부터 역으로 산란체의 위치, 크기, 모양, 매질 특성 등을 알아내는 것이다. 이러한 역산란 문제는지하 탐사(geophysical probing), 원격탐사(remote sensing), 레이다 영상(radar imaging), 의료진단(medical diagnosis), 비파괴 검사(nondestructive testing)등과 같은 많은 응용분야에 걸쳐 있다. 본 원고에서는 전자파 산란 및 역산란 문제에 대한 기존의 다양한 해석기법들을 체계적으로 분류하고, 이들의 적용범위와 한계에 대해 간략히 소개하기로 한다.
