WDM technology has been an emerging issue for the efficient use of optical links. WDM uses a number of different wavelengths that are assigned to each channel. The minimal number of optical transcievers and receivers should be used in a node to build an economic WDM transmission system without degrading system performance. Hence, the analysis of performance parameters such as throughput and delay is important to guarantee the WDM system performance. In this paper, the performance of a MAC protocol on a slotted WDM system that has a tunable transmitter(TTX), a tunable receiver(TRX), and a fixed receiver(FRX), respectively, on each node, was statistically analyzed. The computer simulation validates the performance analysis.

The tension effect on fiber Bragg gratings was analyzed and the linearity of 1.24 nm/10kpsi was obtained when Bragg wavelength was varied within 3 nm by applied tension. Using tension control method, different center wavelength fiber Bragg grating(FBG) were fabricated by only single period phase mask. These serially connected four FBGs showed the transmission spectrum of 1.5 nm linewidth as a 3 dB bandwidth which was twice that of a conventional FBG.

Fiber-optic comb filters using a side-polished fiber coupler are proposed as multi-channel isolation filters on wavelength division multiplexing systems. We have demonstrated that the coupling efficiency between two waveguides is improved by the intermediate coupling layer in spite of the decrease of the optical power transfer between two waveguides due to the high-order modes of the overlay waveguide coupled with the side-polished single-mode fiber. When LiNbO$_3$with a 200-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$-thickness was applied as a planar-overlay-waveguide, the comb filtering characteristics with a 4 nm-channel-spacing were achieved and the maximum power coupling occurred at the 1-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$-thickness and the refractive index in range 1.52 to 1.53 of an intermediate coupling layer. If the intermediate coupling layer is optimized, an extinction ratio with more than 20 dB can be obtained. These experimental results are in good agreement with the BPM simulation.

1960년대에 발명된 광섬유를 이용한 광통신기술은 1980년대 이래 빠르게 보급되었다. 특히 인터넷 트래픽이 폭발적으로 증가하기 시작한 1990년대 후반에 파장 분할 다중화(WDM) 기술이 상용화 되었으며 이 기술은 불과 수년 사이에 하나의 물리적인 광섬유 한 가닥을 통해 독립적인 수백 채널의 신호를 전송할 수 있는 수준에 이르렀다. 이에 더하여 ETDM 기술의 발전으로 채널 당 10Gbps 내지 40Gbps에 이르는 신호를 전송할 수 있게 되어 광섬유 선로 당 전송 용량은 테라급이 가능해졌다. 전송 용량의 빠른 확장과 과장된 수요 예측은 결국 공급 과잉을 초래하여 최근 수 년간 광전송 분야 시장이 침체된바 있다. 그러나 매년 약 두 배씩 꾸준히 증가하는 트래픽 덕에 최근에는 과잉 공급 분이 소진되어 가고 있으며 새로 시장이 활성화되고 있다. 새 시장에서는 종래의 점대점 방식을 넘어 메시형의 WDM 광 네트워크가 등장할 것이며 이에 따른 다양한 요소 기술을 요구하게 될 것이다. 본 고에서는 광전송 기술의 핵심 분야인 광 트랜스폰더 기술, 광 증폭기 기술, 그리고 광 네트워크 기술을 중심으로 현황과 발전전망을 알아본다.

We propose a novel structure of wavelength selective optical add/drop filter comprising two tap couplers and a fiber Bragg grating. The device has unique features including a simpler structure and a lower cost implementation as compared with existing device for the same operation. The filter performance has been measured and analyzed, experimentally. The implemented prototype filter shows good performance with no­crosstalk power penalty in a 155Mbps per channel wavelength­division­multiplexing transmission system but suffers from a relatively high loss of 3.5㏈ and 21㏈ for transmitted and dropped channel, respectively. While the dropped channel extinction ratio was more than 15㏈, the transmitted channel extinction ratio was more than 26㏈.

분포 브래그 반사기(distributed Bragg reflector; DBR)는 광센서, 도파로, 태양전지, 반도체 레이저 다이오드, 광검출기와 같은 고성능 광 및 광전소자 응용분야에 널리 사용되고 있다. 일반적으로, DBR은 박막의 두께를 4분의 1 파장(${\lambda}/4$)으로 가지는 서로 다른 저굴절율 물질과 고굴절율 물질을 교대로 적층 (pair)한 다중 pair로 제작되어지며, DBR의 반사 특성과 반사대역폭은 두 물질의 굴절율 차이와 pair의 수에 영향을 받는다. 그러나, 서로 다른 굴절율을 갖는 두 물질을 이용하는 DBR의 경우, 두 물질간 열팽창계수의 불일치, 접착력 문제, 높은 굴절율 차이를 갖는 물질 선택의 어려움 등 많은 문제점을 지니고 있다. 최근, 경사입사각증착법을 이용한 동일 재료(예, 인듐 주석 산화물, 게르마늄, 실리콘)기반의 DBR 제작 및 특성에 대한 연구가 보고되고 있다. 높은 입사각을 갖고 박막이 증착될 경우, 저율을 갖는 다공박막 제작이 가능하여 경사입사각증착법으로 homogeneous 물질 기반의 고반사 특성을 갖는 다중 pair의 DBR을 제작할 수 있다. 본 실험은, 갈륨비소 기판 위에 경사입사각증착법 및 전자빔증착법을 이용하여 중심파장 960 nm가 되는 이산화 티타늄 기반의 DBR을 제작하였고, 제작된 샘플의 증착된 박막의 표면 및 단면의 프로파일은 주사전자현미경을 사용하여 관찰하였으며, UV-Vis-NIR 스펙트로미터를 이용하여 반사율 특성을 조사하였다.

We propose novel OCDMA system with the structure of reconfigurable may encoder/decoder(RAE/ RAD), which are able to reallocate the 2-D optical codes to each subscriber and recover the transmitted data at all the receiving nodes. We have first implemented the double hard limiters composed of limiting amplifier(first hard limiter) that maintain a level of the encoded data from receiving node and AND detector(second hard limiter) for detecting the position of the encoded data and recovering the data. With the proposed system, it was successfully implemented to recover a specific channel data out of 16 code-multiplxed channels using FPGA and 4 DFB-LDs having distinct wavelengths. From experimental results, the code length resulted from increasing the number of the simultaneously connected channels has been reduced by using 2-D OCDMA multiplexed in time and wavelength instead of 1-D OCDMA. In addition, bit errors phenomenon on account of deterioration of autocorrelation peak-to-side lobe ratio is enhanced by using the double hard limiters composed of AND detector and limiting amplifiers.

An Optical Network-on-Chip(ONoC) based on silicon photonics is one of promising technology for next generation exascale computing architectures. Recent active researches on ONoC focus on improving bandwidth further and avoiding path collisions by using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). However, the number of wavelengths used for the WDM increases linearly as the number of Processing Element (PE) increases in existing ONoCs which adopt centralized routing architecture. The problem will also arises growing cost of optical devices such as light switches and light sources and limits the scalability of ONoC due to the sinal loss caused by interference of distinct light sources. In this paper, we proposes a distributed routing architecture for ONoC which is based on 2D-mesh structure using WDM technique and present a method that minimize the required number of wavelengths exploiting the connectivity of communication. In comparison with existing centralized routing architectures, results show reduction by 56% of the number of wavelengths and 21% of the number of optical switches in $8{\times}8$ networks.

In the present paper routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) in optical WDM networks is considered. Previous techniques based on the combination of integer linear programming and graph coloring are complex and require extensive use of heuristics. Such methods are mostly slow and sometimes impossible to get results due to infeasibility. An alternative approach applied to RWA employs on the greedy algorithm for obtaining the maximum edge disjoint paths. Even though this approach is fast, it produces a solution for any connection request, which is very far from the optimal utilization of wavelengths. We propose a novel algorithm, which is based on the maximum flow technique to obtain the maximum quantity of edge, disjoint paths. Here we compare the offered method with previous maximum edge disjoint paths algorithms ap plied to the RWA.

In a multi-channel network based on wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), an efficient protocol is needed for transmitter and receiver to be tuned to same wavelength during message transmission time. This paper proposes a message scheduling protocol that can efficiently support variable-sized messages, where tunable transceiver has nonzero tuning time. In this protocol, once a node reserves one data channel, it can persistently use the reserved channel till message transmission is finished. Therefore, overhead due to tuning time of the tunable transceiver can be reduced. Moreover, the protocol does not require any global information. Therefore, it can operate independently of the change of the number of nodes, and any new node can join the network at anytime without requiring network initialization. With this protocol, one can avoid data channel and destination conflicts. The protocol is analyzed with a finite population model and the throughput-delay characteristics are investigated as performance measures.
