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.

In this paper, a multiple U-shaped slot antenna for 5.25㎓~5.35㎓ is designed, fabricated, and measured. The prototype consists of U-slot and two invert U-slot. To obtain enough bandwidth, the foam layer is inserted between ground plane and substrate. Important parameters in the design are U-slot length, width, position, airgap length, and feed point. From these parameters optimized, a multiple U-shaped slot antenna is fabricated and measured. The measured results of the antenna are compared with its simulated results. The resonant frequency of the fabricated multiple U-shaped slot antenna is 5.25㎓ the bandwidth for approximately 7.4%(VSWR<1.5) and the gain is 2.9~5.3dBi. The experimental far-field patterns are stable across the pass band. The 3dB bandwidth in H-Plane and I-Plane are 62$^{\circ}$ and 50$^{\circ}$, respectively.

갈륨비소(GaAs)는 수직공진표면방출레이저, 발광다이오드, 태양전지 등과 같은 광전소자에 널리 사용되는 물질이다. 그러나 높은 굴절률을 갖는 갈륨비소는 표면에서 30% 이상의 반사율을 갖기 때문에 광손실로 인해 소자의 성능이 저하된다. 따라서 표면 Fresnel 반사율을 낮출 수 있는 효율적인 반사방지막이 필요하다. 최근, 열적 불일치, 물질 선택, 접착력 저하의 단점을 가지고 있는 기존 다중박막을 대체하는 생체모방 서브파장 나노구조가 활발히 연구되고 있다. 이러한 구조는 공기(air)부터 갈륨비소까지 선형적인 유효굴절률 분포를 갖는 유효 단일박막과도 같기 때문에 소자 표면에서의 광손실을 줄일 수 있다. 더욱이, 자연계의 나방의 각막과 나비의 눈의 구조 형태를 모방한 반도체 생체모방 복합 눈(compound eye)은, 즉 마이크로 렌즈모양과 서브파장 나노격자구조의 복합적 형태, 표면에서 우수한 반사방지 특성을 나타낸다. 본 연구에서는, 포토리소그래피와 유도결합플라즈마 식각법을 이용하여 GaAs 기판 표면에 마이크로 렌즈 모양의 패턴을 형성한 후, 스핀코팅을 이용하여 나노 크기를 갖는 실리카 구를 도포하여 건식 식각함으로써 복합 눈 구조를 갖는 갈륨비소 반사방지막을 제작하였다. 제작된 샘플의 표면 및 식각 형상은 전자현미경(scanning electron microscope)을 사용하여 관찰하였으며, UV-vis-NIR spectrophotometer를 사용하여 반사율을 측정하였다.

The Clamp Mode(CM) Forward Zero Voltage Switching Multi Resonant Converter(ZVS-MRC) with self-driven synchronous rectifier in studied. The loss at the synchronous rectification stage of the converter is analyzed using MOSFET linear model and is compared with the loss at the conventional schottky diode rectification stage of the converter. From the results of the analysis, it is known that the use of MOSFETs as a synchronous rectifier reduces the loss at the rectification stage over the whole load range comparing the use of schottky diodes as a conventional rectifier in the converter. In order to verify the validity of the analysis, we have built a 33W(3.3V/10A) CM Forward ZVS-MRC with self-driven synchronous rectifier, in which switching frequency is 1MHz, and tested. From the experimental results, it is known that the synchronous rectification achieved about 1W improvement in the loss at the rectification stage and about 3% in the efficiency at the converter as compared with the conventional schottky diode rectification.

We have investigated the properties of the novel triangular ring resonator with the total internal reflection mirrors and the semiconductor optical amplifier for photonic integrated circuits (PIC). A novel triangular resonators containing active and passive sections are fabricated and characterized with various multimode interference (MMI) lengths. The optimum MMI length and width turn out to be 108 and 9 ${\mu}m$, respectively. A free spectral range of approximately 228 GHz is observed near 1558 nm along with an on-off ratio of 9 dB. The proposed triangular resonator has a good advantage to remove the direct coupling between the two access waveguides of the MMI coupler. Hence, such resonators can be directly integrated with other devices making compact and highly functional PIC possible.

The multi-resonant converter(MRC) minimizes a parasitic oscillation by using the resonant tank circuit absorbed parasitic reactances existing in a converter circuit. So it si possible that the converter operated at a high frequency has a high efficiency because the losses are reduced. Such a MHz high frequency applications provide a high power density [W/inch3] of the converter. But the resonant voltage stress across a switch of the resonant tank circuit is 4~5 times a input voltage. This h호 voltage stress increases the conduction loss because of on-resistance of a MOSFET with higher rating. Thus, in this paper we proposed the alternated multi-resonant converter (AT MRC) differ from the clamp mode multi-resonant converter and applicated it to the forward MRC. The AT forward MRC can reduce the voltage stress to 2~3 times a input voltage by using two series input capacitor. The control circuit is simple because tow resonant switches are driven directly by the output pulse of the voltage controled oscillator. This circuit type is verified through the experimental converter with 48V input voltage, 5V/50W output voltage/power and PSpice simulation. the measured maximum voltage stress is 170V of 2.9 times the input voltage and the maximum efficiency of 81.66% is measured.

A multilayer two-stage LC bandpass filter using low-temperature cofired-ceramic(LTCC) is proposed in this paper. The proposed bandpass filter is composed of two ceramic substrates with different dielectric constant instead of single ceramic material from top to bottom layer. Inductive elements are designed in a low permitivity ceramic layer to reduce parasitic effects and loss, while capacitive elements are designed in a high permitivity ceramic layer for size reduction. The proposed filter has 950 MHz center &equency, 118 MHz tractional bandwidth, and 3.5 dB insertion loss. And, the total size of this filter is 2.5${\times}$2.5${\times}$l.4mm$^3$. The performance of filter is analyzed by changing coupling capacitance between each resonator.

A new technique for generating millimeter-wave signals from a semiconductor laser is presented. The method multiples the signal frequency by using optical injection of short optical pulses at a sub-harmonic of the cavity round-trip frequency to drive the laser oscillating at its resonant frequency. A 32GHz signal is generated using a multisection semiconductor laser operated under continuous wave conditions, by injection optical pulses at a repetition rate equal to the fourth subhamonic(8GHz). The generated millimeter-wave signal exhibits a large submamonic suppression ratio(＞17 dB), large frequency detuning range (>300 MHz) low levels of phase-noise(-77.5 dBc/Hz), and large locking (>400 MHz)

This paper intends to investigate the effects of speed fluctuation caused by the cogging torque in permanent magnetic motors on the stability of the transverse vibration for a spinning disk. Based on the Kirchhoff\`s plate theory and the assumed mode methods, a set of discretized equations of motion were derived for an annular disk rotating with a harmonically varying speed. Then, a perturbation method using the multiple time scales was employed and stability boundaries were determined explicitly in terms of the magnitude and frequency of speed fluctuation, a nominal sped and the modal characteristics of the disk. It is found that parametric resonance occurs at several speed ranges and a single mode or a combination of two modes are involved to cause instability. It is also observed that unstable regions become broadened as the spinning speed increases or two modes are combined in parametric instability. As numerical simulations, stability analysis of a conventional CD-ROM drive was performed. Results of this work can e used as guidelines for motor design and operations with low vibration.
