1x2 방향성결합형 광 변조기를 LiNbO3 기판상에 양자교환에 의한 자기정렬 방식으로 제작하였다. 양자교환후 광 도파로의 안정을 위해 열처리를 하였다. 본 연구에서는 광 도파로를 제작한 후 열처리 시간에 의한 도파로의 굴절을 변화의 관계에 대하여 연구하였으며 전계효과가 우수한 자기정렬방식을 선택하였다. 제작된 1x2 방향성결합형 광 변조기는 변조전압 8.0V에서 크로스토오크가 -29.5dB의 매우 우수한 특성을 나타내었다.

Optical Switching Matrix (OSM) or Optical Multistage Interconnection Networks (OMINs) comprising photonic switches have been studied extensively as important interconnecting blocks for Optical Cross Connects (OXC) based on Optical Burst Switching (OBS). A basic element of photonic switching networks is a 2$\times$2 directional coupler with two inputs and two outputs. This paper is concerned with the diagnosis of multiple crosstalk-faults in OSM. As the network size becomes larger in these days, the conventional diagnosis methods based on tests and simulation become inefficient, or even more impractical. We propose a simple and easily implementable algorithm for detection and isolation of the multiple crosstalk-faults in OSM. Specifically. we develop an algorithm for isolation of the source fault in switching elements whenever the multiple crosstalk-faults arc detected in OSM. The proposed algorithm is illustrated by an example of 16$\times$16 OSM.

We have demonstrated a $Ti:LiNbO_3$ electro-optic electric-field sensor utilizing a $1{\times}2$ Y-fed balanced-bridge Mach-Zehnder interferometric (YBB-MZI) modulator, which uses a 3-dB directional coupler at the output and has two complementary output waveguides. A dc switching voltage of ~25 V and an extinction ratio of ~12.5 dB are observed at a wavelength of $1.3{\mu}m$. For a 20 dBm rf input power, the minimum detectable electric fields are ~8.21, 7.24, and ~13.3 V/m, corresponding to dynamic ranges of ~10, ~12, and ~7 dB at frequencies of 10, 30, and 50 MHz respectively. The sensors exhibit almost linear response for an applied electric-field intensity from 0.29 V/m to 29.8 V/m.

본 논문에서는 800MHz와 1.9GHz 대역의 시스템에 적용할 수 있는 20dB 방향성 결합기를 8층 PCB 기판에 내장하여 소형화 및 저가화 할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 방향성 결합기는 4층과 6층에 coupled line으로 적층함으로써, 다층 PCB기판을 최대한 활용하여 공간을 최소화하였다. 또한, 고유전율을 가진 필름을 이용하여, coupled line의 끝에 내장형 고용량 커패시터를 연결하여 설계하였다. 6 $\times$ 6 $\times$ 0.7 (height)$mm^3$ 크기로 설계된 방향성 800MHz 결합기의 경우 -20dB의 coupling 특성, -0.6dB의 transmission 특성, -25dB의 isolation 특성을 나타내었다. 패키징 기판에 내장된 방향성 결합기는 단말기 및 통신시스템의 소형화에 크게 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

Optical Multistage Interconnection Networks(OMINs) comprising photonic switches have been studied extensively as important interconnecting building blocks for communication networks and parallel computing systems. A basic element of photonic switching networks is a 2$\times$2 directional coupler with two inputs and two outputs. This paper is concerned with the diagnosis of cross-talk-faults in OMINs. As the size of today's network becomes very large, the conventional diagnosis methods based on tests and simulation have become inefficient, or even more, impractical. In this paper, we propose a simple and easily implementable algorithm for detection and isolation of the single crosstalk-fault in OMINs. Specifically, we develope an algorithm fur the isolation of the source fault in switching elements whenever the single crosstalk-fault is detected in OMINS. The proposed algorithm is illustrated by an example of 16$\times$16 banyan network.

We have demonstrated a $Ti:LiNbO_3$ electro-optic electric-field sensors utilizing a $1{\times}2$ Y-fed balanced-bridge Mach-Zehnder interferometric (YBB-MZI) modulator which uses a 3-dB directional coupler at the output and dipole patch antenna. The operation and design were proved by the BPM simulation. A dc switching voltage of ~16.6 V and an extinction ratio of ~14.7 dB are observed at a wavelength of $1.3{\mu}m$. For a 20 dBm rf power, the minimum detectable electric-fields are ~1.12 V/m and ~3.3 V/m corresponding to a dynamic range of about ~22 dB and ~18 dB at frequencies 10 MHz and 50 MHz, respectively. The sensors exhibit almost linear response for the applied electric-field intensity from 0.29 V/m to 29.8 V/m.

The design procedure of a GaAs/AlGaAs semiconductor matrix optical switch is presented for a simplified tree architecture in the viewpoint of optical loss. A low loss, 0.537 dB/cm, pin type substrate is designed by considering the loss due to imputity doping at 1.3 $\mu$m wavelength. The operating voltage and the device length of a reversed ${\Delta}{\beta}$ electro-optic directional coupler(EODC) swith which is a cross-point device of the 4${\times}$4 matrix optical switch and the bending loss of rib waveguide are caculated as functions of waveguide parameters and bending parameters. There is an optimum bending radius for some waveguide parameters. It is recommened that higher optical confinement conditions such as wide waveguide width and higher rib-height should be chosen for structural parameters of a low loss and a process insensitive 4${\times}$4 matris optical switch. A 4${\times}$4 optical matrix switch which has a 3 dB loss and a 12 volt operating voltage is designed.

We designed and constructed an extremly high power s-band traveling wave resonator for the test of high power microwave components using 80MW pulsed klystron with $4{\mu}s$ pulse width. The 10dB directional coupler for the input power coupling was used, and the ring consists of phase shifter, tuner, H-band, and other microwave components. The designed total electrical length of the system is 10 times of the waveguide wavelength, ${\lambda}_g$=15.3cm, and the measured total insertion loss is 0.15dB. The low power test measurment showed the power multiplication of 14.69. The design goal is to achieve the peak power of 300MW, pulse width $4{\mu}s$ with 30 pulse repetition rate. In this article we discuss the treveling wave resonant ring constructed at the PAL laboratory together with the test results.
