We demonstrate a single-frequency wavelength tunable erbium-doped fiber (EDF) ring laser. We used an unpumped-EDF as a saturable-absorber in order to obtain a stable single-frequency with a narrow-linewidth single-polarization mode in the ring cavity. The lasing wavelength was controlled by using bending-induced strain, such as tension and compression strain corresponding to the bending direction, applied to the fiber gratings. The fiber laser exhibited an output power of -1.85 dBm at a wavelength of 1540.72 nm for a pumping power of ~400 mW. An extinction ratio was measured to be more than 60 dB. The proposed tunable fiber laser maintains nearly the same output power while its lasing wavelength is controlled over in a wavelength range of 5 nm.

본 논문에서는 기존의 논문들이 이상적인 소자들을 가정한 데 비해 WDM 망에서 사용되는 광소자들의 손실특성을 분석하여 수식화하고 이를 이용하여 광경로 설정을 하였다. 비어있는 파장이 있을 경우, 이들 후보 경로중에서 일정 기준 SNR을 만족하면서 최적인 경로를 선택하였다. 그 결과, 파장변환기의 입출력 파장간격에 따라 호거절확률에 변화가 있음을 확인했으며 보다 실제적인 망설계의 방법을 제시하였다.

We have demonstrated a -8 dB additional reduction in the intensity sidelobe of an apodized-interaction-strength guide-wave acousto-optic filter with a center passband of 1551.6 nm. Acoustic-intensity weighting was achieved by launching a surface acoustic wave (SAW) beam in a straight acoustic waveguide, and gradually transferring this SAW intensity to the active device, and back out, by evanescent-wave coupling across a 50 !lm barrier over a 19 rom interaction length. The intensity sidelobe was -4.27 dB for an unapodized filter with abmpt onset and cutoff of the interaction, but sidelobes were reduced to at most -12.68 dB for a SAW intensity with raised-cosine weighting. The RF driving power was 17.78 mW. A linear tuning rate of 8.86 nmIMHz and a spectral width of -1.7 nm were demonstrated. rated.

We demonstrated $\check{S}$olc-type wavelength filters in periodically poled Ti-diffused lithium-niobate channel optical waveguide (Ti:PPLN). A $\check{S}$olc-type transmission spectrum based on the polarization-mode conversion was observed experimentally in PPLN with period 16.6${\mu}m$. A reasonable explanation of such a phenomenon was presented. A polarization-mode converted transmission peak was observed at wavelength 1272.49nm. The FWHM and sidelobe of spectrum are about 0.23nm and 7 dB, respectively.

In this paper, we designed a mode size converter to reduce coupling loss between optical waveguide and single mode fiber. The proposed mode converter is composed of periodically segmented tapered waveguide to achieve small size and easy fabrication. For the optimally designed mode size converter at 1550nm, the taper length is 500(equation omitted), the segmentation period 5ß:, the waveguide width of fiber contact section 1.3ß:, and duty cycle 0.95. The coupling loss of the optimized mode size converter is 0.33㏈/point, which is 1.27㏈/point lower than that without the mode size converter.

지금까지 광파장 측정기로는 회절격자를 이용한 스펙트로미터$^{[1]}$ , 간섭계형 측정기$^{[2]}$ , 퓨리어변환 스펙트로미터$^{[3]}$ 등이 개발되어 왔다. 이러한 측정 방법들은 정밀도면에서 안정적이나 시스템의 부피가 크고, 복잡하며, 광학적 정렬의 어려움이 있다. 또한 WDM 파장영역인 1550nm 부근에서 회절격자를 이용한 스펙트로미터는 고가의 광검출기를 사용하여야 한다. 최근에는 기존의 광학적 정렬이나 기계적인 움직임이 없이 측정가능한 방법에 대한 연구가 활발하다. 본 논문에서는 위상지연기로 쓰인 Polarization Mantaining Fiber(PM-fiber)내에서 입사광의 파장에 따라 fast축과 slow축 방향 편광성분의 위상차가 파장의 함수인 것을 이용해 이 위상차에의한 서로 다른 편광성분의 Power의 차이를 측정함으로써 파장을 결정하는 저가의 휴대용 광파장 측정장비의 구현방법을 제시하였다.
