Systematic studies for the effect of the linewidth enhancement factor, the confinement factor, the internal loss and the cavity length on the single mode gain difference and the frequency detuning are performed for $\lambda$/4 phase shifted DFB lasers above threshold. The above threshold characteristics are mainly determined by the linewidth enhancement factor, not by the confinement factor or the parameter defined by the product of the linewidth enhancement factor and the confinement factor. The normalized internal loss defined by the product of the internal loss and the cavity length mainly determines the above threshold characteristics compared to that of the internal loss or the cavity length alone. The effect of the cavity length on threshold characteristics is larger than that of the internal loss in the case of the same normalized internal loss. The above threshold characteristics of quantum well lasers are more resistant to the variations of the confinement factor and the normalized internal loss than those of bulk lasers due to the small linewidth enhancement factor.

This paper presents a new switchable dual mode VCO(Voltage-Controlled Oscillator). The VCO is efficient in dual mode operation and has self-bias adjustment based on the operation frequencies of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. The switching is done using MOS transistors and tuning is done using MOS varactors. It is implemented using TSMC 0.18${\mu}$m CMOS technology. It is powered by 1.8V supply. The measured results showed that the overall tuning range is approximately 13% at 5 GHz and 8% at 2.4 GHz. The measured phase noise is approximately -102 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset for 5 GHz and -89 dBc/Hz at 600kHz offset for 2.4 GHz. The VCO showed tail currents of 2mA in 5GHz mode and 2.5mA in 2.4GHz mode from a 1.8 V supply, respectively.

Lasers for optical broadband communication systems should have excellent frequency selectivity and modal stability. DFB(Distributed Feedback) lasers have low lasing frequency shift during high speed current modulation. In this paper, I have developed a simulation software and analysed threshold gain and lasing frequency of a lasing mode in longitudinal direction of an 1.55um DFB laser with two mirrors and without anti-reflection coatings, that have both an index- and gain-gratings. The grating phase on a left mirror face is fixed as π/2 and the grating phase on a right mirror face is varied. As the phases of the index and gain gratings on the right mirror facet are π and 0, κL should be in the range of 2~6 in order to enhance the frequency stability. In order to reduce the threshold current of a lasing mode, κL should be greater than 8, regardless of the grating phases on the mirror faces.

A diode-pumped single-mode Nd:YV $O_4$ green laser was developed. Frequency doubling of the laser was achieved by using an intracavity KTP generated green beam (532 nm). By comparing the diode laser spectrum with absorption spectrum of the Nd:YV $O_4$ crystal, we found optimal operating temperature of the diode laser. From output power measured for various mirror curvatures and cavity lengths, we found the optimal matching of TE $M_{00}$ mode with the pump beam gives the best efficiency. When the pump power was 1.9 W, 80 ㎽ of TE $M_{00}$ mode green beam was obtained. We tried to get a single longitudinal mode lasing as the fluctuation of the laser power was caused by the shift of longitudinal modes and the beating between the modes. We tested the intracavity etalon method and birefringent filter method for single mode operation. The etalon method resulted in the best single mode output power of 60 ㎽. The power fluctuation of the single-mode laser was reduced to 1/10 of that of the multi-mode laser.

We have calculated the power extraction efficiency and the lasing wavelength distribution of index-coupled DFB lasers at threshold for various kL and facet reflectivity combinations, and compared with those above-threshold. The power extraction efficiency increases as the asymmetry of the facet reflectivities increases. The power extraction efficiency above-threshold is slightly larger than that at threshold. Since the relative photon density around the center region increases as kL increases, the power extraction efficiency decreases. The uniformity of the distribution of lasing wavelength over the stop band increases due to the relief of mode degeneracy as the asymmetry of the facet reflectivities increases. In the case of AR-HR combination, the lasing wavelength distributions at threshold are similar to those above-threshold. However, in the case of AR-AR combination, the lasing wavelength at threshold is concentrated on both edges of the stop band, while it is concentrated only on the longer wavelength edge above-threshold. As kL increases, the range of the lasing wavelength distribution increases due to the increase of the stop band. The effect of AR reflectivity on the power extraction and the lasing wavelength distribution is very weak.

Lasers for optical broadband communication systems should have excellent frequency selectivity and modal stability. DFB lasers have low lasing frequency shift during high speed current modulation. In this paper, we have developed a simulation software and analysed beam profiles of a lasing mode in longitudinal direction of an 1.55um DFB laser with two mirrors and without anti-reflection coatings, that have both an index- and gain-gratings. As the phases of the index and gain gratings on the mirror faces are varied, the beam profiles |R(z)| and |S(z)| of the lasing mode with the emitted power ratio P_l/p_r are analysed and examined. In order to reduce the threshold current of a lasing mode and enhance the frequency stability, κL should be greater than 8, regardless of the grating phases on the mirror faces.

This paper described on the varactor tuning Gunn oscillator for X band. Analyzed the coplanar 2 post case using the dyadic Green's function then derived the obstacle network for the incident TE10 mode. For the electronical tuning, used the tuning varactor diode which has a high speed dynamic response characteristic and high Q. Oscillation frequency, switching mode, and stable oscillation point were calculated by the computer simulation. In the expriments, switching mode was occurred at 18 mm, 32.5 mm of the short tcircuit position, respectively. The general characteristics of the varactor tuning Gunn oscillator were abruptly changed by the moving of the short circuit and the variation of the bias voltage.

레이저 시스템에서의 혼돈에 관한 연구는 Q-스위칭 레이저$^{(1)}$ , 모드록킹 레이저$^{(2)}$ 그리고 Nd:YAG 레이저의 제2차 고조파에서$^{(3)}$ 실험적으로 수행되었다. 또한 이러한 실험적인 결과들을 레이저 비율 방정식을 사용하여 이론적으로 분석하고자 하는 방법들이 보고되었다.$^{(4-6)}$ 그러나 이러한 노력에도 불구하고 여전히 비율 방정식만으로는 만족스럽게 설명하지 못하는 레이저 혼돈 현상들이 많이 존재한다. 레이저시스템에서 알려지지 않은 현상들 중 하나가 발진 문턱 근처에서의 행동이다. 레이저 시스템은 양자 잡음, 펌핑 잡음 등에 의한 잡음 현상들을 나타내는데, 이것들은 때때로 특히 발진 문턱에서의 레이저 동작에 중요한 역할을 한다. 그러한 경우 잡음에 관한 정확한 정보를 가지고 있지 않는 한 비율 방정식만으로 혼돈 현상들을 설명하기란 매우 어려운 일이다. 발진 문턱 근처에서의 레이저 출력에 관한 혼돈 현상은 최근에 수행된 연속 발진 Nd:YAG 레이저와$^{(7)}$ Q-스위칭 Nd:YAG 레이저를$^{(8)}$ 제외하면 보고된 것이 거의 없다. 본 논문에서는 작은 주기적인 변조가 가해진 다이오드 레이저로 들띄운 Nd:YAG 레이저의 내부 발생형 제2차 고조파의 출력이 나타내는 혼돈 현상이 바로 on-off 간헐성임을 보여주는 실험결과를 보고하고자 한다.
