We design and fabricate a novel tunable wavelength filter, which utilizes long-range surface plasmon-polaritons excited along nm-thick-metal strips. A gold metal strip, with $\sim$ cm length, 20 nm thickness, and $\sim$ 5$\mu$m width, is embedded in thick thermo-optic Polymer films supported by a silicon wafer. A dielectric Bragg grating structure is Placed on the metal strip, so that transmission signals at telecom wavelength are selected by thermal effect of the thermo-optic polymer. High extinction ratio of 25 dB and total insertion loss of $\sim$25 dB/cm can be measured by single-mode coupling of optical fibers. We also verify that wavelength tuning of the long-range surface plasmon-polariton filters can be achieved by electric current directly applied to the metal-strip waveguides.

지금까지 측면이 코어 가까이 연마된 잔일모드 광섬유와 평면 도파로 사이의 광결합을 이용한 소자들이 많이 연구되고 있다. 이를 이용한 소자들로는 광필터, 광변조기, 광스위치, 굴절계, 편광기 등이 있으며 최근에는 파장분할다중화(WDM)에서 인접채널간의 채널분리를 위한 소자로서 빗살필터의 연구 또한 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 측면이 코어 가까이 연마된 단일모드 광섬유와 평면도파로 사이의 광결합을 이용한 빗살필터를 제작하였으며 열광학 효과를 이용하여 파장 가변 빗살 필터를 구현해 보았다. (중략)

광소자 설계 시 TE/TM 분극에 대한 민감도는 매우 중요한 요소로 작용을 한다. 이러한 민감도를 줄이기 위해 많은 광소자에 다중모드 간섭기가 이용되고 있다. 다중모드 간섭기에 입력되는 신호는 TE와 TM 두 모드의 분극으로 이루어져 있으며, 각각은 도파로 내에 존재하는 모드에 실려 50：50의 파워 분배를 가지고 진행하게 된다. 그러므로 광소자를 제작하기 위해 TE 또는 TM 모드만을 고려하는 것은 소자의 효율을 떨어뜨리는 요인으로 작용한다. (중략)

실리콘은 반도체 산업에 이용되는 주된 물질로, 원가, 기능성, 신뢰도 등의 면에서 이점을 가지고 있기 때문에 실리콘칩 위에 기존의 전기적 소자와 광전기적 소자들을 집적하고자 하는 노력이 계속되고 있다. 특히 실리콘 나노결정 (nc-Si)으로부터 가시광 방출을 관측한 이래, 이를 기반으로 한 광학적 능동매질에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있는데, 최근에는 nc-Si을 이용한 LED와 어븀이 첨가된 nc-Si을 이용한 nc-Si／silica 광 도파로 광증폭기에서의 광학적 이득이 보고 된 바 있다. (중략)

Leakage and Bragg condition of optical waveguide with asymmetric rectangular grating profile are evaluated in detail by using novel and rigorous modal transmission-line theory (MTLT) based on eigenvalue problem. The optical waveguide composed by asymmetric rectangular grating occur leaky-wave stop-bands at Bragg conditions, and anomalies based on Rayleigh-Wood condition near Bragg conditions. Furthermore, DFB properties of the guiding structure at Bragg conditions are analyzed by applying longitudinal equivalent transmission-line with characteristic impedance of periodic grating. The numerical results show that filtering characteristics that maximize the reflected power of DFB waveguide are activated near Bragg conditions, in which leaky-wave stop-bands occur.

In this paper, we have investigated a fiber type active coupler which utilizes the mode coupling between the side polished single mode optical fiber and the active multimode planar waveguide. The proposed device can be used for not only tunable wavelength filter or optical intensity modulator but also a tool for measuring optical properties of guiding material such as refractive index, birefringence, electro-optic coefficient, and thermo-optic coefficient. We gave designed and optimized a coupler structure using the BPM and fabricated the device using thermo-optic polymer as active planar waveguide overlay. The device showed that insertion loss was less then 0.5 dB, extinction ratio was -13 dB at the resonance wavelength, and the wavelength tunablity due to thermo-optic effect was -1.5 nm/$^{\circ}C$. The active coupler using thermo-optic effect can be used as a wavelength tunable filer, an optical intensity modulator and an optical sensor. pulses that are subsequently compressed by a dispersive optical fiber. Experimental results show that $sech^2$ shape pulses with a pulse width of ~14 ps and a time bandwidth product of ~0.34 are successfully generated at 10 GHz repetition rate. In contrast to other methods, such as higher order soliton compression, this approach does not depend on the optical power and thus shows promise for application to low-power lasers.

Polymeric multi-mode optical waveguides were fabricated for parallel optical interconnection. Waveguide structures were molded by a Ni mold master using a hot embossing technique. The Ni mold master was manufactured by LIGA process. Multimode optical waveguides with a 48$\times$47 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$^2$cross-section were produced by a simple two-step process. The propagation losses of the multimode waveguide measured at 0.85 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 1.3 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ wavelengths were 0.38 dB/cm and 0.66 dB/cm, respectively.
