In this paper, we propose the polarization coding of optical logic gates using filters and LCTV's, and represent the real-time system of an optical parallel adder to improve a carry propagation delay time. We fabricated a polarization filter for the polarization coding of a cell and an electrical system instead of an optical flip-flop which was necessary to an optical parallel adder. We used an optical fiber to play a part of decoding mask and interconnections in an optical parallel adder. The experimental results show that the polarization coding of a cell can represent 16 optical logic functions and that the implemented optical parallel adder can operate in real-time.

The polarization-selective beam splitter grating can be widely used in numerous optical information processing systems. In this paper, to design a high-efficiency plasma polarization beam splitter (PBS), the structure composed of an Ag metal layer in Littrow mounting is implemented. To achieve high diffraction efficiency in the transmitted 0th-order TE polarization and the reflected 0th-order TM polarization, the grating depth and grating ratio of presented PBS is optimized by using rigorous Modal Transmission-Line Theory. From the optimized results, PBS has advantages of wide band properties for incident wavelength and angle, and the efficiency is higher than 95% for both TE and TM polarization. Therefore, this highly efficient PBS wideband grating with high extinction ratio can be used as an excellent optical diffraction device.

By incorporating a polarization beam splitter and fiber coupler, we propose a fiber-optic multiwavelength-switchable interleaving filter that can function as a polarizaiton-independent transmission or reflection-type one. The proposed filter consists of a polarizaiton beam splitter and a Sagnac birefringence loop that is composed of a 50:50 coupler, polarizaiton-maintaining fibers, and two quarter-wave plates. In the proposed filter, a transmission-type filter with a channel isolation > 18[dB] or a reflection-type one with a channel isolation ~3[dB], whose channel spacing and switching displacement were 0.8 and 0.4[nm] in common, respectively, could be obtained. Channel interleaving operation could be performed by the proper control of waveplates within the Sagnac birefringence loop.

We proposed a novel temperature sensor based on the phenomena that the phase difference between principal polarization states in an optical retarder is a function of temperature. The polarization state of an optical beam is changed as it passes through the optical retarder, with the change dependent on the temperature. The temperature of the optical retarder is determined by comparison of the power difference between principal polarization states. A temperature sensor was successfully implemented using a polarization maintaining fiber of length 100 mm as the optical retarder. The change rate of phase difference on temperature was 0.236$^{\circ}C$$_{-1}$ and the measurement error was $\pm$0.038$^{\circ}C$ over the temperature region of -2.6$^{\circ}C$~3.4$^{\circ}C$.

In this paper, we propose an optical encryption system based on the encryption of information using the phase component of a wavefront and orthogonal polarization in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Since the incoherence of the two perpendicularly polarized lights removes interference component, the decrypted image is stable. In encryption process, the original image is converted into an image having random polarization state by the relative phase difference of horizontal polarization and vertical polarization, so we cannot obtain the original information from the random polarization distribution. To decrypt an Image, the random polarization distribution of encrypted image is divided into two orthogonal components, then key image must be placed on vertical path of Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The decrypted image is obtained In the form of intensity by use of an analyzer.

In this paper, a wavelength converter for RZ data which can controls XPM in SOA by using polarization controller within optical fiber loop mirror is proposed and demonstrated. The proposed structure needs only one polarization dependent SOA for implementation compared to previous XPM ones and makes the cost down. And it provides wavelength converted signals with non-inverted and inverted pattern into outputs respectively.

A multi-purpose polariscope is developed by applying an electro-mechanical control system to a diffused transmission-type circular polariscope. A conventional polariscope is only good for manual control of optical elements. The new polariscope system is devised to be controlled through two stepping motors and two magnetic clutches. The developed system has both functions of a conventional linear- and circular-polariscope. The new polariscope can be used not only for the point-wise measurement using Tardy compensation technique but also for the full-field fringe analysis using conventional and/or phase measuring techniques, if applicable.

레이저 매질은 흡수된 여기 파워에 의해 매질 내부에서 열이 발생하고, 매질 표면을 따라 냉각이 진행되어 매질 내부에서는 불균일한 온도분포가 발생하게 된다.$^{[1,2]}$ 레이저 매질의 굴절율은 온도에 따라 변하기 때문에 열복굴절과 열렌즈 현상이 일어나 레이저 출력의 손실 및 빔질의 저하를 초래하게 된다.$^{[1,3]}$ 선형 편광 광선을 이용하는 고체 레이저는 레이저 매질을 브루스터각으로 가공하거나 공진기 내부쉐 브루스터판을 삽입한다. 따라서, 선형 편광 광선은 열복굴절에 의한 위상 지연으로 타원 편광이 되고, 타원 편광 광선의 s-성분은 브루스터판에서 반사를 일으키게 되어 레이저 출력의 손실을 일으키게 되므로 레이저 공진기를 구성하는데 있어서 정량적인 열영향의 해석이 필요하다$^{[1,2,5]}$ 열영향에 의한 위상 지연은 방위각 방향과 반지름 방향으로 각각 $\Delta$ $n_{\Phi}$, $\Delta$ $n_{r}$ 만큼 생긴 굴절율의 차이로 발생하고 다음과 같이 표현할 수 있다.$^{[1]}$ (중략)이 표현할 수 있다.$^{[1]}$ (중략)

In this paper, a method to eliminate the polarization dependent properties of fiber-to-planar waveguide couplers using a thin half-waveplate is proposed and demonstrated. The operation principle of the device is explained and the fabrication technology is presented. It is experimentally shown that the resonance wavelengths of the device are independent of the polarization state of input light.
