파장분할다중 광통신시스템은 파장통과 대역폭이 좁으면서, 파장통과 대역을 넓게 가변시킬 수 있는 집적광학형 광여파기를 필요로 하고 있다. 지금까지 전기광학효과$^{(1)}$ , 스트레인광학효과$^{(2)}$ , 음향광학효과$^{(3)}$ 들을 이용하여 다양한 형태의 광여파기들이 연구되어져왔다. 특히 음향광학효과를 이용한 편광모드변환형 가변파장 광필터 (AOTF: Acousto-Optic Tunable Filter)는 150nm 이상의 넓은 파장가변 범위, 1nm이하의 좁은 파장대역폭, 수 $\mu\textrm{s}$ 정도의 비교적 빠른 스위칭 속도, 그리고 여러 파장 채널을 동시에 선택할 수 있는 특성들 때문에 많은 연구가 진행되어져 왔다. 본 논문에서는 음향파 장벽(acoustic barrier)를 이용하여 표면 음향파(SAW: Surface Acoustic Wave)의 RF 구동파워를 감소시킬 수 있는 구조의 AOTF를 제작하고, 측정 결과를 음향파 장벽을 이용하지 않은 AOTF의 측정 결과와 비교, 검토하였다.

In this paper, a tunable fiber feedback laser based on the use of Sagnac loop filter and fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is proposed. The Sagnac loop filter using a high birefringence fiber provides precise 0.33-nm channel spacing as a multi-wavelength grid filter. Ni-Cr wire wound on the FBG is useful to induce the thermo-optic effect of the fiber. Two types of FBG structures, which have a different length of wire, are demonstrated to show the wavelength shift and separation. To tune FBG by resistant heat, some current is supplied into the wire. When the wavelength matched with one of the cavity modes of Sagnac loop filter, the mode-locked lasing is occurred. The electrical power sensitivity of the resonant wavelength is measured to 1.75pm/mW. This laser configuration can be applied the electrical power system for monitoring the power fluctuation.

Implementation of a wavelength-swept source with constant tuning rate adopting a PZT-type tunable filter, requires the knowledge of hysteresis of the filter used. The hysteresis must be considered to avoid any degradation in resolution of the optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR) system. An optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) could be used to do the hysteresis measurement, but its measurement time is too long for the high-speed driving conditions for the filter. We proposed a new hysteresis measurement method based on OFDR, which could measure the hysteresis in a real driving condition. A hysteresis measurement apparatus consisted of wavelength-swept source, interferometer, signal processing unit, and PC program is built and used to do the measurement. It is concluded that the new method is useful in the measurement of hysteresis at real driving conditions by successfully implementing a swept-wavelength source whose wavelength change is linear in time.

A new Fabry-Perot tunable filter has been built with simple construction, which does not require any additional aligning and/or beam-confining components for the reduction of the diffraction loss. For this feature, one of the two fibers for the filter is processed to have a concave mirror whose curvature is the same as that of the wavefront of the Gaussian beam from the first fiber. After high reflection coatings, the two fibers are aligned to result in an FP filter whose bandwidth, free spectral range, and insertion loss is 1.47nm, 52nm, 5.6dB respectively.

본 논문에서는 평탄 대역 모드와 손실형 평탄 대역 모드의 투과 스펙트럼을 가지는 PDLS 기반 Lyot형 광섬유 빗살 필터에서 출력되는 편광 상태를 이론적으로 분석하였다. 분석을 위해 파장 가변 레이저, 편광 조절기, 그리고 편광자를 사용하였다. 필터에 배치된 두 개의 반파장판을 적절히 조절하여 평탄 대역 모드와 손실형 평탄 대역 모드를 선택할 수 있다. 편광 조절기를 적절히 조절하면 파장 가변 레이저로부터 나오는 빛의 편광을 원하는 것으로 선택 가능하고 한 채널 내에서 필터의 투과 대역을 미세하게 조절할 수 있다. 그리고 편광자를 통해 출력되는 스펙트럼으로 출력 스펙트럼의 파장별 편광 상태를 알 수 있다.

현재 광통신 분야는 보다 많은 정보를 동시에 전송하기 위해 다양한 다중화 방식들을 요구 받고 있다. 광섬유 Bragg 격자 소자를 이용한 모든 광 분기/결합 장치는 분기/결합할 수 있는 신호가 광섬유 격자 소자의 Bragg파장에 의해 정해지므로 하나의 광섬유 격자 소자는 고정된 한 채널만을 분기, 결합할 수 있다는 단점을 지니고 있다. 그러나 광섬유 격자에 온도와 스트레인(strain) 같은 외부 물리량을 가하게 되면 광섬유 격자의 주기가 변하게 되어 반사파장이 고정되지 않고 파장을 가변 할 수 있는 장점을 가지게 된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 광섬유 격자 소자에 가해진 온도, 스트레인에 의해 Bragg파장이 변화하는 성질을 이용하여 파장 가변형 Bragg 격자를 제작 및 실험을 통하여 전광필터 특성에 대하여 제시하였다.

A tunable filter incorporating an apodized grating with a high-refractive-index polymer layer is demonstrated. In the apodized tunable filter, the reflectivity is decreased compared to that of a uniform grating, because of the gradually decreased grating depth. To increase the reflectivity of the apodized grating, a polymer of high refractive index is adopted for the apodized grating, and then high reflectivity is obtained while maintaining a narrow bandwidth. The apodized tunable filter exhibits a 3-dB bandwidth of 0.51 nm and a 20-dB bandwidth of 1.05 nm, with 98.5% reflection.

A widely tunable add/drop filter composed of double ring resonators is implemented with high-index-contrast polymer waveguide. To enhance the productivity, directional couplers are designed to have good fabrication tolerance. The refractive indices of the core and cladding in the 1550 nm wavelength are 1.51 and 1.378, respectively. Drop response in comparison with neighborhood peak gets enhanced by more than 2.9 dB at the wavelength where both rings resonate. This filter can be used to build widely tunable laser diode through hybrid-integration with reflective SOA.

A pulsed Ti:sapphire laser with a Z-folded cavity, which was pumped by a freqeuncy-doubled Nd:YAG laser, was developed. It shows 120 nm wavelength tuning range from 740 nm to 860 nm with 90 nm FWHM under a pumping energy of 3 mJ with 18% output coupler. Using a birefringent filter, the effective efficiency was improved about 10 times compare to without a birefringent filter. The output energy obtained was $\365mu$Jwith 4 nm FWHM. And the wavelength tuning range was broadened to about 160 nm within an output energy fluctuation of $\pm$10%.
