In the non-contact 3-dimensional (3D) shape measurements, the fringe pattern projection method based on the phase-shifting technique has been considered very effective for its high speed and accuracy. The digital fringe projector in particular has great flexibility in generating fringe patterns since the patterns can be controlled easily by the computer program. In this work, we have developed a high-speed digital laser grating projection system using a laser diode and a polygon mirror, and evaluated its performance. It has been demonstrated that all the optical measurements required to find out the profile of a 3D object could be carried out within 31 ms, which confirmed the validity of our 3D measurement system. The result implies the more important fact that the speed in 3D measurement can be enhanced remarkably since, in our novel system, there is no device like a LCD or DMD whose response time limits the measurement speed.

VPH (Volume Phase Hologram) grating is one of the transmission gratings and is known as its remarkable efficiency (>90%). It has two different densities of gelatins causing interference patterns. The VPH grating is favored in many astronomical instruments these days and also IGRINS, which is up coming near infrared high-resolution spectroscope expected to see the first light next year, uses the VPH grating as its cross-disperser. The infrared astronomical instruments operate at cryogenic temperature (~100K) in order to cut down thermal noise and the optical components of IGIRNS will be operated at 130K. The VPH grating is sandwiched in between fused silica or glass and glued together using optical adhesive. IGRINS is expected to go through 50 times of thermal cycling in 10 years including the performance test and this research is to check whether the physical characteristic such as the adhesion or dichromatic gelatin does not break and change from the several cryogenic thermal cycling. The two identical test gratings provided from Kaiser Optical System, Inc. are used in this test. One VPH grating is cooled down to 100K for 2 hours with maximum dT/dt = 5 and warmed up to the room temperature and another grating is kept stored in the room temperature and used as a control sample. In order to check the change, we inspected the grating with eyes and checked its efficiency and transmission at the room temperature every 10 cycling. From the 40 times of cryogenic temperature cool down cycling, the VPH grating showed no signs of change within the error compared to the control sample. We concluded the VPH grating is durable through several cryogenic thermal cycling.

근적외선 대역에서 동작 가능한 가변파장레이저 구현을 위하여 브래그 격자와 반도체 광증폭기로 구성된 외부 공진기 형태의 레이저를 제작하였다. 폴리머 광도파로는 굴절률이 1.462, 1.435 인 ZPU 폴리머를 이용하여 제작되었다. 근적외선 파장에서 반사를 일으키는 브래그 격자의 제작을 위해서는 주기가 875 nm 로서 비교적 크고 제작이 손쉬운 3차 브래그 격자를 이용하였다. 폴리머 광도파로 브래그 반사기를 이용하여 제작된 근적외선 외부공진 레이저는 850 nm 파장에서 0 dBm의 출력 파워와 0.2 nm의 20-dB bandwidth, 40 dB 이상의 Side Mode Suppression Ratio을 가지는 단일 모드 레이저 특성을 보였다.

In this paper, the efficient algorithm for design of waveguide grating router(WGR) composed of star couplers is proposed. It is well demostrated that a star coupler design can be easily adjusted to the optimumstate using the proposed design method, which analyzes relations between various parameters. This method enables designers to estimate the spectral properties of waveguide grating router at the initial design level of the star coupler. A 5*5 WGR with 2.75nm(343GHz) channel spacing is designed using the proposed scheme. The BPM(Beam Propagation Method) simulation results show that the channel spacing of the WGR agrees very well with the design, the excess loss is smaller than 2.5dB, and the crosstalk is less than -21dB.

Optical Time Domain Reflectometry를 이용하여 수백 km 이상의 장거리 광통신망을 감시하기 위해서는 감시광을 증폭시켜야한다. 본 논문에서는 1625 nm OTDR 감시광을 증폭시키기 위해 fiber Bragg grating과 band pass filter를 이용하여 이득과 잡음지수를 각각 5.1 dB 그리고 0.9 dB 향상시킨 2단 구조의 Extended L-band EDFA를 제안하였다. 제안된 Extended L-band EDFA의 1625 nm 대역의 신호 이득은 16.3 dB이고 잡음지수는 7.1 dB였다.

Moire topography method isa well-known non-contacting 3-D measurement method as afast non-contact test for three-dimension shape measuring method. Recently, it's important to study the automatic three-dimension measurement by moire topography because it is frequently applied to the reverse engineering , the medical , the entertainment fields. Three-dimension measurement using projection of moire topography is very attractive because of its high measuring speed and high sensitivity. In this paper, the classical moire method is computerized-so called digital moire when a virtual grating pattern is projected on a surface, the captured image by the CCD camera has three-dimension information of the objects. The moire image can be obtained through a simple image processing and a reference grating pattern. and it provides similar results without physical grating pattern. digital projection moire topography turn out to be very effective for the three-dimension measurement of objects. Using different N-bucket algorithm method of digital projection moire topography is tested to measuring object with the 2-ambiguity problem. Experimental results prove that the proposed scheme is capable of finding measurement errors that decreased more by using the four-three step algorithm method instead of the same step in the phase shifting of different pitch.

U형 구조의 SGDBR (Sampled Grating Distributed Bragg Reflector) 레이저 다이오드를 설계하고, 시간 영역 시뮬레이션 방법으로 해석하였다. U형 구조의 SGDBR 레이저 다이오드는 SGDBR, 능동, 수동, TIR (Total Internal Reflection) 거울 영역들로 이루어져 있어서, 각 영역들 간의 결합 손실의 영향을 면밀히 고려하여야 한다. 설계된 U형 SGDBR 레이저 다이오드의 파장 가변범위는 1525 nm에서부터 1570 nm로서 시뮬레이션을 통하여 확인하였다. 설계 튜닝 범위에서 완전한 레이저 다이오드 특성을 얻기 위해서는, 미러 영역에서의 손실은 약 2 dB 이하이고, 능동 및 수동 영역 간 butt 결합에서의 매질 간 굴절률 차이는 0.1 이하를 유지하도록 도파 구조가 설계되어야 한다.

We propose a new encoder/decoders based on an tune able wavelength converter(TWC) and an arrayed waveguide grating(AWG) router for large capacity optical CDMA networks. The proposed encoder/decoder treats codewords of wavelength/time 2-D code simultaneously using the dynamic code allocation property of the TWC and the cyclic property of the AWG router, and multiple subscribers can share the encoder/decoder in networks. Feasibility of the structure of the proposed encoder/decoder for dynamic code allocation is tested through simulations using two wavelength/time 2-D codes, which are the generalized multi-wavelength prime code(GMWPC) and the generalized multi-wavelength Reed-Solomon code(GMWRSC). Test results show that the proposed encoder/decoder can increase the channel efficiency not only by increasing the number of simultaneous users without any multiple-access interference but by using a relatively short length CDMA codes.

For demonstrating widely tunable external cavity lasers operating for near-infrared (NIR) wavelength, a flexible polymer waveguide with an imbedded Bragg grating is incorporated. Due to the superior flexibility of the polymer material, the reflection wavelength of the Bragg grating is widely tunable by imposing tensile and compressive strains on the flexible Bragg grating. A third-order Bragg grating is formed on the device for facilitating the fabrication method. With a superluminescent laser diode as a gain medium of ECL, the tunable laser exhibited output power of -3 dBm and a tuning range of 32 nm.

We propose a highly directional waveguide grating antenna for an optical phased array, achieving high directionality of more than 97% by interleaving the trenches with different etching depths in the silicon nitride layer, and adopting a multilayered structure. Meanwhile, the multilayered structure reduces the perturbation strength, which enables a centimeter-scale radiation length. The beam-steering range is 13.2°, with a wavelength bandwidth of 100 nm. The 1-dB bandwidth of the grating is 305 nm. The multilayered grating structure has a large tolerance to the fabrication variation and is compatible with CMOS fabrication techniques.
