광섬유 가변 감쇠기는 광증폭기, add／drop 모듈, Mux／Demux, 광송수신기 등 중요한 광통신 시스템의 입력 및 출력 광신호 레벨을 적절하게 제어하기 위해 요구되는 중요한 소자이다. 가변 감쇠기는 높은 신뢰성, 높은 해상도, 작은 삽입손실, 낮은 편광 및 파장 의존성 손실 등이 요구되어 진다. 가변 광감쇠기는 평면 기판에 형성된 도파로 의 열광학 효과나 전기광학 효과를 이용하는 기법과 MEMS 기술에 기초한 방법이 잘 알려져 있다. (중략)

공동광자감쇠 분광학(Cavity Ringdown Spectroscopy, CRDS)은 고감도의 흡수분광법으로 미량기체의 농도나 흡수분광선의 연구에 사용되어 왔으며 화염이나 플라스마에도 응용되고 있다. 이 분광법은 시간에 따라 지수함수로 감쇠하는 공동광자감쇠신호의 감쇠상수를 측정하는 기술인데, 레이저의 밴드폭이 흡수선폭보다 넓으면 감쇠신호가 지수함수에서 벗어나 오차를 발생하게 된다. 그러므로 오차를 줄이려면 좁은선폭의 레이저를 사용하거나 공동광자감쇠신호의 주파수를 분리하여야 한다. 분광선폭보다 매우 넓은 선폭의 레이저를 사용하고 분광기를 이용하여 공동광자감쇠신호를 분리하는 방법들이 제안되었다.

Laser Lift-Off (LLO) is a process that removes a GaN or AIN thin layer from a sapphire wafer to manufacture vertical-type LEDs. It consists of a light source, an attenuator, a mask, a projection lens and a beam homogenizer. In this paper, we design an attenuator and a projection lens. We use the 'ZEMAX' optical design software for analysis of depth of focus and for a projection lens design which makes $7{\times}7mm^2$ beam size by projecting a beam on a wafer. Using the 'LightTools' lighting design software, we analyze the size and uniformity of the beam projected by the projection lens on the wafer. The performance analysis found that the size of the square-shaped beam is $6.97{\times}6.96mm^2$, with 91.8 % uniformity and ${\pm}30{\mu}m$ focus depth. In addition, this study performs dielectric coating using the 'Essential Macleod' to increase the transmittance of an attenuator. As a result, for 23 layers of thin films, the transmittance total has 10-96% at angle of incidence $45-60^{\circ}$ in S-polarization.

The variable optical attenuator based on side polished fiber technique was experimentally demonstrated. Various combination mixtures of poly(vinylidene fluoride) and poly(methyl methacrylate) have been used as the overlay waveguide materials for the variable optical attenuator application. A controllable amount of optical power can be extracted via evanescent coupling by changing the temperature of the polymer mixture, thereby changing its refractive index. The VOA under test provides a maximum attenuation of 30 ㏈ and an insertion loss of 0.1 ㏈.

상자성을 갖는 분자에 대한 분광학 연구에서는 제만(Zeeman) 효과로 생기는 이색성을 이용한 magnetic rotation spectroscopy (MRS)가 널리 사용되고 있다.$^{(1)}$ MRS가 일반적인 흡수 분광법에 비해 더 민감한 측정을 할 수 있기는 하지만 사용하는 편광기의 extinction ratio에 의해 감도가 한정된다. MRS의 감도를 높이는 방법으로는 광경로를 길게 만드는 것을 고려할 수 있다. 일반적으로 공진기 광자감쇠 분광학(Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy, CRDS)은$^{(2)}$ 높은 반사율을 갖는 거울을 사용해서 수 km 이상의 광 경로를 만들기 때문에 감도가 높다. (중략)

We calculated the deviation of decay time owing to intensity noise of ring-down signal and the sensitivity owing to shot noise, dark current, and bit resolution error of the data acquisition device. We verified the sources of systematic errors caused by the drift of cavity loss depending on bias voltage and the oscillation of decay time caused by interfering effect of mirrors.

In this paper, a trench structure was fabricated by femtosecond-laser machining to eliminate thermal crosstalk in a multichannel variable optical attenuator (VOA), to prevent decreasing attenuation efficiency of the VOA. Trenches of a variety of widths and depths were fabricated on the VOA chips by femtosecond-laser processing. After the machining, attenuation according to current change was observed in each VOA chip module with trenches. As a result, we could observe high responsivity of attenuation and low power consumption, and that the heat of each channel barely influenced other channels.

In this paper, we have proposed and demonstrated a variable optical attenuator (VOA) incorporating a dual-fiber collimator and a bimetallic actuator. The optical attenuation between input and output single-mode fibers was tuned by tilting the angle of a reflection mirror fixed on the bimetal. The bimetal was heated or cooled by a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) and then moved the reflection mirror, due to bending and unreeling. The desired optical attenuation can be obtained through adjusting the electrical input into the TEC. The fabricated device showed 0.5 dB of insertion loss, 0.2 dB of maximum polarization-dependent loss, and 40 dB of dynamic range. The response time was measured to be about 5 s.
