In this paper, we proposed new method of a bidirectional WDM-PON transmission using suppressed optical carreir(SOC) and reflective semi-conductor optical amplifier(RSOA) based on WDM-PON. while LiNbO3 mach zehnder modulator(LN-MZM) generates 5GHz modulated SOC for uplink at central office(CO), RSOA at CO modulates the downstream data. At optical network units(ONUs), Another RSOA modulates the SOC light source for uplink at ONU and uplink data are up-converted to the 5 GHz already modulated SOC using LN-MZM.

The autofocus is one of the important processes in the automated vision inspection or measurements using optical microscopes, because it influences the measuring accuracy. In this paper, we used the confocal microscope configuration based on not a pinhole but a single-mode optical fiber. A single mode fiber has the functions of source and detector by applying the reciprocal scheme. As a result, we acquired a simple system configuration and easy alignment of the optical axis. Also, we embodied a fast autofocus system by acquiring the focus error signal through a source modulation technique. The source modulation technique can effectively reduce physical disturbances compared with objective lens modulation, and it is easily applicable to general optical microscopes. The focus error signal was measured with respect to the modulation amplitude, reflectance of the specimen and inclination angle of the measuring surface. The performance of the proposed autofocus system was verified through autofocusing flat mirror surface. In addition, we confirmed that source modulation rarely degrades the depth resolution by the comparison between the FWHMs of axial response curves.

A lot of efforts have been made to develop low-cost and reliable broadband optical subscriber loop systems. Here we propose a new loop system with shared ligh sources and remote modulation method. This system uses an external modulation method for both directions and all the light sources are maintained inside a central office. Moreover, the ligh source is not dedicated to each subsriber link but shared among many subscriber links. We expermentally demonstrated that one shared light source could accommodate about 2, 000 deownstream links(2.5 Gb/s per link), 500 upstream links(155 Mb/s per link).

Erbium 첨가 광섬유를 광원겸 광증폭기로 사용하는 방식으로 개회로 형태의 광섬유 gyroscope를 구성하였다. Erbium 첨가 광섬유를 거쳐 5mW 이상의 gyro 출력광 power와 7nm의 파장선폭을 얻었다. Loop 광섬유로부터 광증폭기형 광원으로의 feedback으로 인하여 회전속도에 따라 scale factor가 변화함을 관찰할 수 있었다. 그러나 변조된 gyro 출력신호광의 평균 power가 회전속도에 무관하도록 위상차의 변조진폭을 $\PHI_m=2.405 rad$으로 한 경우에 회전속도와 무관한 일정한 scale factor를 얻을 수 있었다.

In a broadband erbium-doped fiber source for fiber optic gyroscope, a pump-polarization scrambling scheme is used to suppress the polarization dependence of the source mean wavelength. The degree of polarization of the pump is reduced to 1.4% by applying proper modulation depth to the polarization modulator where 10 m-long single-mode fiber is wound on a cylindrical PZT. In the case of using the pump-polarization scrambler as well as the output depolarizer, the mean-wavelength variations due to the random change of polarization are measured to be less than our measurement limit of 5 ppm.

주파수 안정화 레이저 광원은 10-6 이상의 상대 불확도가 필요한 간섭계에서 널리 쓰이고 있으며 특히 변위 측정 시스템에서는 반드시 쓰이고 있다. 상용화된 많은 변위 측정 시스템은 신호 대 잡음비가 우수하고 광학계의 정렬이 더 쉬운 헤테로다인 방식을 채택하고 있으며 이를 위해서 서로 수직 선형 편광인 다른 주파수의 광을 내보내는 광원이 필요하다. 현재 헤테로다인 변위 측정 시스템에 쓰이고 있는 광원은 이중 주파수 광원을 만드는 방식에 따라 지만 효과(Zeeman effect)를 이용한 지만 레이저(HP사)와 음향-광 변조기(Acousto-optic modulator)를 이용한 이중 주파수 레이저(Zy해사)가 있다.

In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate a self-seeding FP-LD (Fabry Perot Laser Diode) to verify the possibility of a new tunable light source that can be used in WDM-PON (Wavelength Division Multiplexing - Passive Optical Network) system. The conventional implementation of WDM-PON using a tunable light source has a disadvantage that the center wavelength of the AWG (Arrayed Waveguide Grating) device and the tunable light source must be precisely aligned. However, the proposed tunable light source has the advantage that the tunable wavelength is automatically aligned with the center wavelength of the AWG as well as simple structure. The implemented tunable light source had a tunable band of about 14 nm or more, and the maximum RIN (Relative Intensity Noise) of about -124 dB/Hz, which showed the possibility of modulating 10 Gb/s signal by an external modulator.

In this paper, we propose optical subcarrier mutiplexing(SCM) transceiver module for base station(BS) that has no optical source and can be used for full-duplex communication over single optical fiber. In this method we retransmit optical modulated signal to the central office(CO) using loop-back system with a ring type Mach-Zehnder modulator(MZM) in BS, where optical source is transmitted from the CO. We have modeled the ring type MZM and were conformed that the measured results were in good agreement with the modeling. In the ring type MZM, the optical symmetric position of the MZM is very important in RF signal transmission.

This paper presents a noble optical access system using shared laser and LED light sources, which is based on WDM-PON technologies. This system adopts an external modulation of the shared laser sources for high-speed downstream and a direct modulation of the LED sources for low-speed upstream. To split or combine the transmission channels, AWG(Arrayed Wave-guide Grating) devices are used in the optical cable section. The proposed system is attractive for low cost implementation. The laser light sources can share the optical carriers in the downstream scheme. Also, in upstream, the LED sources can afford to make simple of the circuits for controlling light source and of standardization for ONU(Optical Network Unit). The feasibility of the proposed system is demonstrated by several experiments. Our results show that the system operates well at 2.SGbps for downstream and up to 622.08Mbps for upstream.

광 간섭계는 광을 이용한 다양한 계측분야에 사용된다. 일반적인 광 간섭계의 지연단은 기계적인 광지연에 의해 저속이며, 시스템 구성상 안정성이 떨어지게 된다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 광간섭계 지연단의 기계적 방식을 배제한 광위상 변조기를 이용한 지연단을 설계하고 그 특성을 분석하였다. 제안된 광 간섭계는 1310nm 10GHz의 반복율을 갖는 광원과 광위상변조기를 이용한 전(全) 광섬유 형태로 안정한 구성을 하였다. 구성된 광간섭계는 광위상 변조기의 변조 전압, 변조 주파수의 변화에 의해 광지연시간의 쉬운 변조가 가능하였으며 최대 20ps 의 광지연시간을 얻을 수 있었다.
