In an amplitude-splitting interferometer, a beam splitter divides an input beam into two parts, which are superposed after propagating along separate paths, producing an interference effect. We have investigated the phase relation between the reflected and transmitted light waves at BS's made of lossless dielectric stacks. If we define the phases with proper reference planes, a definite phase relation exists, irrespective of the detailed structure of the layers in the BS. Although this results from the generalized Stokes relations, we have verified it numerically for two representative BS's with symmetric and asymmetric layer structures respectively. When we applied the phase relation to interferometers, we could determine the superposition state of the output beam (either constructive or destructive interference) for a general BS, and could verify that the light's energy was conserved.

최근에 화학, 임상병리, 환경 감시 등의 분야에서 산소센서의 수요가 점차 증가하고 있다. 이러한 산소 센서 중에 가장 많이 쓰이는 방식은 산화물 전극을 사용하는 amperometric 방법이지만 이 방법들은 장기간에 걸쳐 볼 때 산화물 전극의 오염, 외부 자기장의 간섭 등의 제점 때문에 산소를 측정하는데 많은 어려움이 있다. (1) 따라서 최근에는 빛과 유기염료를 통하여 산소의 농도가 증가할수록 세기가 quenching이 되는 원리를 이용한 산소센서의 연구가 이루어졌다. (중략)

DOAS (Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy) System은 대기 중에 존재하는 기준물질들이 특정 파장영역에서 빛을 흡수하는 원리를 이용하고 있다. 현재 독일을 중심으로 한 유럽과 선진국에서는 대기 환경 기준물질의 모니터링 기술들이 주로 광 투과방식을 이용한 Open path의 모니터링 기술들을 개발하고 있다. 기존의 측정 방법과 Open Path 모니터링의 기법을 비교 할 때 Open path 시스템은 실시간 측정 및 분석이 가능하므로 기존의 화학적 측정방법에서 제기되어져왔던 화학 반응시의 방해 물질의 간섭제거 및 시간 분해도 향상등에 큰 장점이 있다.

OCT(Optical Coherence Tomography) 기술은 기본적으로 낮은 가간섭성 광원의 빛을 대상물에 주사하여 피대상물의 내부구조에 따른 각종 광학정 수치를 높은 수직 분해능으로 깊이별로 얻어낼 수 있는 기술이다. 현재 많은 생체 연구그룹에서 OCT의 개발과 응용에 대해 적극적인 연구가 진행 중에 있으며, 그 적용분야를 확대하고 있는 추세이다. OCT에 관련된 대표적인 연구분야로서 조직의 미세 단층영상, 혈류 가시화 및 각종 생체조직에 따른 복굴절율 변화 측정 등이 있다.(중략)

After the light from an incoherent LED was transmitted through the multimode fibers which were linked over 10 km, the nearfield power distribution reached the steady-state independent of launching conditions. It has been also found that the steady-state output power distribution showed the pattern of Gaussian function. In this steady-state Gaussian function pattern, the measured losses of fibers were very repeatable values. In case of using LD source, the speckle phenomena in near -field power distribution appeared until the distance of 10 km. And the output power distribution did not reach the steady-state shown in LED even over 20km on account of the coherence and the nonuniform lasing modes of LD. But the measured losses of fibers were nearly stable in this long distance.

We have fabricated and characterized MMI (Multimode Interference) coupled ring resonator with the total internal reflection mirrors and the semiconductor optical amplifier for the integration of the WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) system. The TIR (Total Internal Reflection) mirrors were fabricated by self-aligned process and had losses of about 0.71 dB per mirror. Coupling in and out of a resonator was achieved using the extremely small MMI couplers. The MMI length and width used in the experiment were $119{\mu}m$ and $9{\mu}m$, respectively. The resulting FSR (Free Spectral Range) and on-off ratio were approximately 1.333 nm (162 GHz) and 13 dB, respectively.

We obtain a solution of optical parametric amplification using self-phase modulation within the Kerr media in a nonlinear interferometer with two arms. We show that it is equivalent to the solution driven by four-wave mixing and that the solution of parametric amplification is suitable to generate a parametric gain. We obtain a derivative of power gain with respect to the propagation distance and show that gain-saturation can occur as the beam propagates along the nonlinear arms. We also show a bandwidth characteristic of the parametric amplification driven by nondegenerate four-wave mixing. Numerical examples are given to illustrate that the solution of the parametric amplification can be applied to design and analysis of all-optical devices such as all-optical amplifiers.

We have numerically solved rate-equations of semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) to understand the characteristics of SOA. The rate-equations we have used can describe injection carrier density, amplified spontaneous emission and signal photon density in spatial and time domain by dividing the cavity into multi-section. We have investigated injection carrier density, amplified spontaneous emission and signal photon density as a function of position and time in the case of single channel input in the form of square pulse. Also we have analyzed the non-linear phenomena of SOA in the case of injecting multi-channel wavelengths as in WDM. Intermodulation distortion (IMD) caused by beat among channels has significant effects on the signal distortion as the channel spacing becomes narrower, and channel crosstalk becomes larger as the power of signals increases. In the case of the injection of another CW laser whose wavelength is far enough from the signal wavelengths, the crosstalk and the output signal distortion can be significantly reduced. duced.

We characterized the properties of the fabricated filter with the total internal reflection mirror (TIR) in the rectangular ring resonator and very small multimode interference (MMI) couplers on an InP material platform for photonic integrated circuits. Coupling power in and out of a resonator is increased by using an optimum MMI length of 110 ${\mu}m$ and a width of 9 ${\mu}m$, respectively. The semiconductor optical amplifier with the length of 120 ${\mu}m$ is integrated in the resonator to compensate the loss of the internal waveguide and the TIR mirror. A free spectral range of approximately 2 nm (244 GHz) is observed with an on-off ratio of 13 dB. The curve fitting also yields the power coupled per pass as 42%. To reach critical coupling at this coupling level would require a round trip loss of about 2.4 dB.

We have developed a measurement method of the refractive index profile of an optical fiber by using diffraction phase microscopy. In the microscope system, the reference light was extracted directly from the probe light that passed through the sample by means of pinhole filtering with a diffraction grating. The spatial interference pattern produced by the probe light and the reference light was processed to generate the phase image of the sample fiber. The index profile was obtained by the inverse Abel transform of the phase profile. In order to remove the background phase that originated from the index difference between the cladding and the surrounding medium, the background phase was calculated from the phase data of the cladding to make a core phase profile that can be directly transformed to the index profile of the core without the full phase image that includes the entire cladding part.
