In this paper, we have developed wavelength swept laser system for the swept source optical coherence tomography(SS-OCT). A laser is constructed by using the two SOAs parallel configuration, fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter(FFP-TF). The wavelength sweeps are repetitively generated with the repetition period of 50Hz. The wavelength tuning range of the laser is more than FWHM of 80nm centered at the wavelength of 1310nm and the line-width of the source is 0.12 nm.

In a switch routing system, buffers are indispensible to prevent signal collision during routing process. For a photonic switching system, optical buffers are also indispensible if the system requires an active routing rather than a simple optical cross-connect(OXC). To cope with WDM technologies in optical comminication systems in these days, photonic switching system also has to deal with WDM signals. Therefore, optical buffers needed in a switching system has to be routed to the same output. For the receiver to recognize these signals separately, parallel WDM signals during rearrangement process. In this paper, we propose a novel all optical WDM output buffer whose structure, hardware, SNR and BER characteristics are improved a lot comparing with those of previously reported ones. From the analysis of the proposed buffer, the new buffer can hold 255 WDM cells keeping BER of 10-9 as long as a contrast ratio(gain on-off ratio) of optical gate(semiconductor optical amplifier) nside the buffer is 30dB.

We demonstrate a k-domain linearization using a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) array for Fourier domain optical coherence tomography based on a wavelength swept laser. The k-domain linearization is carried out with an interpolation method using a FBG array with five FBGs. The measured signal-to-noise ratio from the point spread function after k-domain linearization is 12 dB improved over that of without k-domain linearization at the 1 mm depth of the sample. Clear OCT imaging of the slide glass with k-domain linearization could be obtained.

To improve characteristics of optical devices that used be WDM system optimally, we investigated characteristics of two types structures that consisted of non-uniform thickness Quantum well. They have high characteristic temperature and 3dB bandwidth of spontaneous emission are 57nm, 50nm respectively, which are 1.4times, 1.3times wider than conventional structure.

By using 2 signals without additional input signal, an all-optical binary half adder at 10 Gbps is demonstrated. The half adder operates in single mechanism, which is XGM. By achieving this experiment, we also explored the possibilities for the enhanced complex logic operation and higher chances for multiple logic integration.

In this paper, we propose a new method for broadcasting in a WDM-PON system which has the merits of a simple and cost effective structure. It can be constructed using only an ASE (Amplified Spontaneous Emission) light source and a PI-RSOA (Polarization Independent - Reflective Semiconductor Optical Amplifier). Error-free broadcast signal transmission over 30 Km for 24 channels at 1.25 Gb/s has been successfully demonstrated.

We demonstrate a ring type wavelength swept laser incorporating a fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter in a laser cavity using 1300 nm semiconductor optical amplifier as a gain medium. The output characteristics of the wavelength swept laser according to the applied scanning frequencies are analyzed in the temporal and spectral domain. The output of the wavelength swept laser decreases dramatically as the scanning frequency increases. And there is a significant peak power imbalance between the forward scan and the backward scan as the scanning frequency increases. Its use in practical applications might be limited.

We demonstrate the wavelength swept source and signal processing for the frequency domain optical coherence tomography. The laser output performance is improved by using a semiconductor optical amplifier with a booster amplifier. The laser generates 14 mW of average power of which wavelength shift in the lasing spectral shape is compensated. Adopting a Fabry-Perot etalon and digital signal processing, the broadening of the beat frequency due to the variance of wavelength-sweep-velocity is calibrated. The optical coherence tomography system shows 154.4 kHz of axial scanning speed, 0.95mm of depth range, and $12{\pm}0.37{\mu}m$ of axial resolution.

A bidirectional TDM-PON link to support 2.5 Gb/s upstream signals of 256 ONUs was considered for an extended transmission distance of 50 km. The power budget of the link was 58 dB for the upstream signal and a SOA was applied as a link extender which had a 25 dB gain. Receiver sensitivity of the upstream signal was -25 dBm for -30 dBm input power to the SOA. When the input power was -10 dBm, pulse overshooting caused by gain transient of the SOA was maximum at 45% and the signal performance degradation gave a power penalty of 1.55 dB for $10^{-12}$ BER. However the penalties diminished rapidly and became negligible as the input power went below -15 dBm. So this input power dynamic range of up to -15 dBm means that it is not positively necessary to use gain control methods for the next generation TDM-PON systems.
