A reconfigurable photonic microwave (MW) channel selective filter was demonstrated incorporating a $1{\times}2$ switch based on two tunable polymeric resonators with different free spectral ranges. Each resonator, consisting of two cascaded rings with an electrode formed on one of them, plays a role as an on/off switch through the thermooptic effect. The optical signal carrying the MW signal is routed to either port of the switch and detected to show the filtered output at the frequency determined by the free spectral range of the corresponding resonator. When the channel centered at 10 GHz was chosen, the extinction ratio was ${\sim}30dB$, the bandwidth 1 GHz, and the electrical power consumption 4.1 mW. For the other channel located at 20 GHz, we have achieved the extinction ratio of ${\sim}30dB$, the bandwidth of 2 GHz, and the required power of 8.0 mW. Finally the crosstalk between the selected and blocked channels was higher than 24 dB.

We propose a hyperbolic metastructure based on a nanopatterned metal (Ag)-dielectric (PDMS) multilayer and report on its performance in an infrared (IR) cut-off filter for imaging devices. By optimizing the size of the square-shaped Ag nanopattern and the thickness of PDMS surrounding the Ag nanopattern, the proposed IR cut-off filter blocks 99% of light in the 0.70-1.01 ㎛ wavelength band while maintaining a high transmittance of over 94% in the visible region. Here, the cut-off wavelength band starts at a region above the epsilon-near-zero wavelength of the hyperbolic metastructure and ends at the point where plasmonic absorption appears strongly. It is observed that transmittance in the wavelength region longer than the IR cut-off band increases again due to plasmonic coupling among horizontally adjacent Ag nanopatterns. This metastructure can improve the performance of IR-blocking filters as well as allow it to be manufactured ultra-thin, which is applicable to various planar optical elements and integrated optical components.

The waveguide structure effects of a spot-size converter (SSe) of a $1.3\mu{m}$ FP(Fabry-Perot)-LD(Laser Diode) were investigated. Its coupling efficiency and alignment tolerance with a single-mode fiber (SMF) were carefully examined by using a 3dimensional BPM (Beam Propagation Method). It was shown that the fOlmation of enough length of straightened waveguide around the end of the sse region can substantially improve the optical coupling efficiency for a vertically tapered sse. In contrast, a down-taper structure for a laterally tapered sse has superior characteristics to an up-tapered one. We suggested good sse structures which can provide a high coupling efficiency as well as a large alignment tolerance with an .SMF. .SMF.

We fabricated a single mode fiber pigtailed PIN-preamplifier front-end receiver module for the high speed optical receiver. Hybrid method was used to integrate GaInAs PIN photodiode and transimpedance type GaAs preamplifier. The capacitance and the diameter of light receiving area of PIN photodiode were 0.35 pF and $20{\mu}m$ respectively. The -3 dB cut-off frequency of PIN-preamplifier module was above 2 GHz, and the sensitivity of the module at 2.5 Gbps NRZ $(PRBS=2^{23}-1)$ signal was -25.2 dBm at $10^{-9}$ BER. > BER.

Monolithic NOR and INVERTER active optical logic devices inte- grated with surface-emitting microlasers, heterojunction photo- transistors(HPT) in parallel and resistors in series are characterized. The differential quantum efficiency of the typical AlGaAs superlattice microlaser integrated in the active optical logic devices is 15%. Current gain of the HPT is 57, when emitter-collector voltage and input optical power are 4 V and $50{\mu}W$, respectively. $57{\mu}W$ of output power from the active optical logic device decreases to zero when $47{\mu}W$ of input optical power is incident on the HPT part of the active logic device.

인체 내 소량의 생체성분을 감지하는 바이오센서 기술은 질병 진단뿐만 아니라 예방 및 관리로 의료서비스 확대 및 의료비 감소 효과를 가져올 수 있는 기술이다. 광 바이오센서는 광학적인 측정방법을 이용하여 다양한 생화학물질들의 상호 반응을 검출해 낼 수 있는 바이오센서로 현재 활발하게 연구가 진행되고 있다. 일반적으로 형광물질, 발색물질 등의 발광물질을 인식물질에 표지하여 인식물질과 분석물질과의 반응 유무를 표지된 발광물질의 광 신호를 감지하여 분석물질을 검출해내는 표지식 광 바이오센서 기술이 상용화되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 분석 방법은 민감도는 우수하지만 분석 시간이 매우 느리고, 고가의 분석 장비를 필요로 하는 단점들을 가지고 있다. 이러한 단점들을 극복하기 위하여 생화학 반응 유무를 표지물질 없이 광학적 방식으로 직접 측정해내는 비 표지식 광 바이오센서 기술이 최근 들어 많이 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 비표지식이면서 분광기 없이 분석 가능한 공진 반사광 바이오센서 기술에 관한 내용을 소개하고자 한다. 공진 반사광 바이오센서는 광파장 이하의 주기를 가진 주기적 공진 격자 표면에서 일어나는 항원-항체 반응에 대한 공진 반사 파장을 측정하여 원하는 바이오물질을 고감도로 검출할 수 있는 바이오센서이다. 또한, 인체 내장을 위하여 플렉시블 기판 상에 GaN LED를 집적하여 전립선암 바이오 마커 검출에 대한 결과를 소개하고자 한다.

Silver ion-exchanged glass waveguide with its large surface index difference and shallow depth is suitable to be used for the hybrid integration of semiconductor device and glass waveguide using the semiconductor film grafting technique. We report characteristics of the planar and channel glass waveguides exchanged in the diluted silver nitrate melt in the visible and infrared spectral region. Especially, we determined the fabrication parameters for single-mode channel waveguide at 1.5.$\mu$m, an important wavelength in the optical communication. Directional couplers with several different configurations were fabricated, and their 3 dB coupling length was determined as a function of wavelenGh and polarization.

Wave propagation in gyrotropic or anisotropic medium is analyzed in terms of the eigenmodes of the medium, which are admixture of TE and TM waves. The field composition and the phase velocity of the modes are also determined. The results of the analysis are applied to thin film optical waveguide using such medium as substrate and/or film. Based on the characteristic equations for phase constants of the waveguide, the condition for TE-TM mode convection is derived, and wave propagation in the guide is represented in the form of Jones matrix, which allows a new interpretation in the conversion efficiency of the thin-film optical waveguides.
