A new structure of tunable wavelength converter based on XCM in SOA was tried and analyzed. This converter used single SOA and had very simple structure. In this paper, results were experimentally obtained and demonstrated. Pump signal was generated with NRZ $(PRBS\;2^{31}-1)$ and data rate 2.5 Gbps. WDM multi conveted signals showed more than 8.3 dB extinction ratio. For BER performance, all these converted signals had within 5.0 dB power penalty compared with the pump signal. With these results, we showed that this converter was suitable for 2.5 Gbps WDM multi-channel wavelength converting.

The wavelength variation of a scanned fiber laser is analyzed using quadrature sampling technique. By time delayed sampling of a phase modulated Mach-Zender interferometer, the wavelength information can be precisely determined regardless of the nonlinearity in the Fabry-Perot wavelength filter which scanned the fiber laser. A wavelength readout resolution of ～20 pm was obtained at 2 KHz M-Z modulation frequency, and it was shown that the resolution could be improved in case of using an electro-optic phase modulator.

In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate a self-seeding FP-LD (Fabry Perot Laser Diode) to verify the possibility of a new tunable light source that can be used in WDM-PON (Wavelength Division Multiplexing - Passive Optical Network) system. The conventional implementation of WDM-PON using a tunable light source has a disadvantage that the center wavelength of the AWG (Arrayed Waveguide Grating) device and the tunable light source must be precisely aligned. However, the proposed tunable light source has the advantage that the tunable wavelength is automatically aligned with the center wavelength of the AWG as well as simple structure. The implemented tunable light source had a tunable band of about 14 nm or more, and the maximum RIN (Relative Intensity Noise) of about -124 dB/Hz, which showed the possibility of modulating 10 Gb/s signal by an external modulator.

액정은 낮은 전압에서 액정 방향자의 변화에 따른 굴절률 변조를 일으키고 가시광과 근적외선 파장에서 큰 투과도를 가지고 있어 특히 디스플레이 등의 소자에 널리 이용되고 있다. 그러나 현재 액정만을 이용한 디스플레이 등의 응용제품들은 응답속도, 구동특성으로 인해 대화면 구동이 곤란하고 편광판의 사용으로 시야각은 물론 빛 손실량이 크다는 단점과 광변조기로의 응용에 있어서는 큰 파장의존성이 있어 다중 파장의 빛 조절이 어렵고, 또한 입사편광을 왜곡한다는 단점을 가지고 있다. (중략)

광섬유 브래그 격자(Fiber Bragg Grating, FBG)는 좁은 선폭과 적은 삽입손실 등의 뛰어난 스펙트럼 특성을 가지고 있어, 고밀도 파장분할 다중화 방식을 이용한 광통신 시스템과 여러 종류의 광섬유센서에 응용되고 있다. 브래그 격자의 광학적 스펙트럼을 능동적으로 조절하기 위하여, 광섬유에 열이나 스트레인을 인가하거나, 음파와 빛의 결합을 이용한 방법이 제안되었으며, 특히 음향 광학 브래그 격자 변조기(Acousto-Optic Superlattice Modulator)는 종 방향 음파(Longitudinal Acoustic Wave)를 이용하여 파장과 크기의 조절이 가능한 사이드 밴드(Side Band)를 생성해 내었다.

The effect of gain dispersion on the self-pulsation (SP) characteristics due to the mode beating of two modes emitted in a multisection DFB laser composed of two complex-coupled DFB sections and a phase control section is investigated. When the peak wavelength, ${\lambda}_{p}$, of the gain spectrum of the DFB section is positioned in the center of the lasing wavelengths or the Bragg wavelengths of the two DFB sections, the maximum SP frequencies are higher and the modulation index has better characteristics compared to those cases for ${\lambda}_{p}$ fixed at the lasing wavelength or Bragg wavelength of one DFB section, when the difference between the Bragg wavelengths of the two DFB sections, ${\Dalta}{\lambda}_{B}$, is varied. When ${\lambda}_{p}$ is positioned in the renter of the Bragg wavelengths of the two DFB sections, the maximum SP frequency is higher and of the modulation index has better characteristics compared to those of the case for ${\lambda}_{p}$ positioned in the center of the lasing wavelengths of the two DFB sections.

Phenomenological nonlinear gain saturation effect on the modulation characteristics in a multi-electrode DBR laser, when the lasing wavelength changes, continuously is analized theoretically. FM efficiency, 3 dB bandwidth, and resonance frequency decrease with increasing bias current to the passive section, except increasing the flat FM response. It is found that the nonlinear gain saturation effect severely affects the modulation characteristics such as FM/IM response, 3 dB bandwidth, resonance frequency and CPR, but hardly affects the behavior of continuous frequency tuning.

Diode laser absorption sensors are advantageous because they may provide fast, sensitive, absolute, and selective measurements of species concentration. These systems are very attractive for practical applications owing to its compactness, reasonable cost, robustness, and ease of use. In addition, diode lasers we fiber-optic compatible and thus enable simultaneous measurements of multiple species along a line-of-sight. Recent advances of room-temperature, near-IR and visible diode laser sources for telecommunication, optical data storage applications make it possible to be applied for combustion diagnostics based on diode laser absorption spectroscopy. Therefore, combined with fiber-optics and high sensitive detection strategies, compact and portable sensor systems are now appearing for variety of applications. The objectives of this research are to develop new gas sensing system and to verify feasibility of this system. Wavelength modulation spectroscopy has been demonstrated in these experiments and has a bright prospect to this diode laser system.

We proposed a simple and yet effective way of wavelength stabilization for WDM transmission using a temperature compensated fiber grating. This scheme was successfully applied to both DFB LD and EMLD, locking them to their respective reference wavelengths notwithstanding temperature change and RF modulation.
