파장분할다중(WDM) 광통신시스템에서 광원의 파장을 정확하게 측정하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 지금까지 광파장측정기는 격자나 Fabry-Perot 에탈론을 사용한 광대역 필터(optical bandpass filter) 및 파장에 따라 삽입손실이 다른 파장판별기(wavelength discriminator)등으로 구현되었지만 빛의 간섭 현상을 이용한 마이켈슨 간섭계가 가장 많이 사용되었다. 특히 푸리에 변환 마이켈슨 간섭계 파장측정기$^{(1)}$ 는 동시에 각각 다른 파장의 광원들이 입사되더라도 각각의 파장을 측정할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 즉 마이켈슨 간섭계에서 주기적인 간섭무늬에 의한 광검출기의 출력은 입력된 광파장에 따라 다른 주기를 가진다. 따라서 서로 다른 파장을 가진 빛이 입사했을 때 검출되는 각각의 광전력의 합을 표본화(sampling)한 뒤 FFT를 거치면 광파장과 광검출기로 수신한 신호의 중심 주파수의 관계를 알 수 있으므로, 서로 다른 파장을 가진 빛이 입사하더라도 각각의 파장을 측정할 수 있는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 푸리에 변환을 이용하되 마이켈슨 간섭계 대신 마하젠더 간섭계형 광변조기를 이용하여 광파장을 측정에 관한 실험적 구현과 개선 방안에 대해 제시한다.

In this Paper, we present an improvement of switch node for wavelength multiplex optical network. Currently because of quick increase of internet traffic a big network capacity is demanded. Wavelength multiplex optical network Provides the data transfer of high speed and the transparent characteristic of the data. Therefore optic network configuration is the most powerful technology in the future. It will be able to control the massive traffic from the optical network in order to transmit the multimedia information of very many quantify. Consequently the node where the traffic control is Possible, is demanded. The optical switch node which manages efficiently the multiple wavelength was Proposed. This switch is composed of a optical switch module for switching and a wavelength converter module for wavelength conversion. It will be able to compose the switch fabric without optical/electro or electro/optical conversion using optical MEMS(Micro Electro Mechanical Switches) module. Finally, we present the good test result regarding the operational qualify of the switch fabric and the performance of optical signal from the switch node. The proposed switch node of the optic network will be able to control the massive traffic with all optical.

We proposed and demonstrated a tunable wavelength optical add/drop multiplexer(OADM) employing piezoactuated fiber grating pairs and polarization beam splitters. We used piezostack act as a fiber stretcher, using the fact that the resonant wavelength of the grating can be controlled by the axial strain along the fiber grating. The polarization controlled configuration showed high stability because the reflected signals from the two identical gratings are dropped or added not by interference but by polarizations of the beams. We could add and drop not noly 1549.3nm signal channel(original gratings), but also 1550.1nm(tuned gratings) with PZT actuators and in both cases, we found that the rejection of adjacent channels was more than -26dB, and signal leakage at the gratings was less than -34dB.

A new structure of tunable wavelength converter based on XCM in SOA was tried and analyzed. This converter used single SOA and had very simple structure. In this paper, results were experimentally obtained and demonstrated. Pump signal was generated with NRZ $(PRBS\;2^{31}-1)$ and data rate 2.5 Gbps. WDM multi conveted signals showed more than 8.3 dB extinction ratio. For BER performance, all these converted signals had within 5.0 dB power penalty compared with the pump signal. With these results, we showed that this converter was suitable for 2.5 Gbps WDM multi-channel wavelength converting.

To fully utilize the capabilities of a SONET/ADM network, traffic grooming is needed to multiplex a number of lower-rate traffic streams into a higher-rate stream, and vice versa. Although the capacity of a SONET ring network can be upgraded by operating it over multiple wavelengths, the corresponding network design may be costly if it employs a large number of ADMs. A cost-effective design attempts to minimize the total number of ADMs used in the network while carrying the offered traffic. We introduce and evaluate the performance characteristics of a new traffic-grooming approach for WDM ring networks, called multihop. The multihop implementation places an ADM at each node based on the requested traffic in the traffic-demand matrix then, it tries to groom the wavelengths which can be groomed. We select one of the nodes to be the "hub" node which has an ADM for each wavelength. The hub node, therefore, can "bridge" traffic between all of the wavelengths. The algorithm is specified and illustrated by a simple example. Our results demonstrate that it is beneficial to use a single-hop approach, but for a large grooming ratio and node number, we advocate the use of the multihop approach.e multihop approach.

Utilizing impurity free vacancy diffusion (IFVD) method, area selective intermixing of InGaAs/InGaAsP multi-quantum well (MQW) structure was done. After this, wavelength division demultiplexing waveguide type photodetectoers was integrated and measured. It showed large blue shift in bandgap due to intermixing of MQW. Photodetectors are based on typical p-i-n structure and devices having large and small bandgap areas line up linearly. Width of waveguide and length of each photodetector are 20 and 250 ${\mu}m$, respectively, TE/TM polarized light from tunable laser was butt-coupled to the photodetector and spectral response was measured. Photodetectors can demultiplexing 1480 and 1550 nm wavelength.

Affordable traffic capacity of each node in networks is expected to reach in Tb/s range in proportion to the rapid growth of Internet users. To transmit more than Tb/s per fiber pair, WDM should be used as well as existing TDM. To increase the capacity of transmission in WDM networks, there are two ways, increasing channel speed or channel quantity. To increase the channel quantity, there are two ways, narrow spacing or expanding transmission bandwidth. To expand bandwidth, ultra-broadband optical amplifier technology is necessary. In this paper, we introduce EDFA in effect at C/L band, FRA, and some optical amplifiers in effect at S band, and analyze the development trend of various amplification technologies.

광섬유 브래그 격자 센서(Fiber Brags Grating Sensor： FBG Sensor)는 여타 광섬유 센서와 같이 가볍고 저렴하며 주위의 전자기적 잡음에 무관한 장점과 더불어 측정대상이 반사광의 파장변화이므로, 광섬유 연결부나 실험장치들에 의해 생기는 광 손실이나 잡음에 대해서 강인한 측정을 할 수 있다. 그리고 파장변화가 변형률이나 온도변화에 선형적으로 나타나므로, 센서로서 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 특히, 구조물의 내부에 삽입하여 구조물 스스로 외부의 환경변화를 감지하여 필요한 동작을 수행하는 지능형 구조물(Smart Structure)에 적합한데, 이를 위해선 구조물의 여러 지점을 측정해야 하므로, 브래그 격자 여러개를 한 시스템에서 사용하는 다중화(Multiplexing)가 필수적이다.

The effect of gain dispersion on the self-pulsation (SP) characteristics due to the mode beating of two modes emitted in a multisection DFB laser composed of two complex-coupled DFB sections and a phase control section is investigated. When the peak wavelength, ${\lambda}_{p}$, of the gain spectrum of the DFB section is positioned in the center of the lasing wavelengths or the Bragg wavelengths of the two DFB sections, the maximum SP frequencies are higher and the modulation index has better characteristics compared to those cases for ${\lambda}_{p}$ fixed at the lasing wavelength or Bragg wavelength of one DFB section, when the difference between the Bragg wavelengths of the two DFB sections, ${\Dalta}{\lambda}_{B}$, is varied. When ${\lambda}_{p}$ is positioned in the renter of the Bragg wavelengths of the two DFB sections, the maximum SP frequency is higher and of the modulation index has better characteristics compared to those of the case for ${\lambda}_{p}$ positioned in the center of the lasing wavelengths of the two DFB sections.
