We propose, for the first time to our knowledge, a novel gain-clamping method for EDFA in WDM add/drop networks by introducing a disturbance observer technique. The control input signal for gain-clamping is composed of a nominal control signal and an additional control signal of compensating the gain fluctuations caused by channel add/drops. Based on disturbance observer technique, we designed the additional control signal such that it has the compensating information of estimated disturbance resulted from channel add/drops. The circuit for generating additional control signal can easily be implemented by using simple electronic devices. We proved the superiority of the new technique over the previous ones by showing simulation results of minimized dips and spikes that appear in power profile of EDFA in the process of channel add/drops.

Dense Wavelength division multiplexing(DWDM) lightwave system requires multiplexer, demultiplexer and optical filter. In this paper, thus, we propose the Add-Drop Mux/Demux based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer(MZI) with fiber Bragg grating(FBG). The Add-Drop Mux/Demux using FBG and MZI is able to minimize system and reduce weight. We also analyze output characteristics of Add-Drop Mux/Demux and present the optimum design data through the computer simulation.

An all fiber coupler-type add/drop filter has been fabricated by writing a Bragg grating in the coupling region of a fused fiber coupler. The fused fiber coupler with 99.8% coupling ratio and 74/m coupling coefficient was used for the add/drop filter. The add/drop filter shows 99% reflectivity and 83% drop efficiency at the operating wavelength of 1536.2nm.

We propose a tunable add/drop filter in a form of an all-fiber mach-zehnder interferometer iwth one bragg grating at each arm. This device can be tuned by inducing a strain in the bragg grating. We also theoretically analyze the outut characteristics of the tunable add/drop filter. As a result of simulation, we know that the proposed tunable add/drop filter works well. When 2*10$^{-3}$ of strain is induced, the reflected spectrum shifts about 3nm. And its reflected spectral width is about 0.3nm. In this case roughly 5 channels can be tuned, assuming the channel spacing is 0.3nm. When the pathlengths of the both arms are not the same, the transmissivities at the add and output ports and the reflectivity at the tap port varies sinusoidally with the pthlength difference. To maintain the transmissivities above 90% in the wavelength tuning range of 20nm the pathlength difference less than 16.mu.m is required.

WDM(wavelength-division multiplexing) 광통신 네트웍을 이루는 핵심기술중의 하나는 ADF(Add-drop Filter)의 구현에 있다. 광섬유격자와 여러형태의 구조를 이용한 ADF들 중에서도 비대칭 결합기와 광섬유 격자를 이용한 구조는, 간섭계 구조가 아니기 때문에 제작이 용이하고 보다 안정된 특성을 보일 것으로 기대되어 많은 관심을 갖게 하고 있다$^{(1)}$ . 비대칭 결합기 구조의 경우, 두 광도파로의 코어반경이나 굴절율 분포가 서로 다르기 때문에, 일반적으로 광파의 결합이 일어나지 않는다. 그러나 브래그 격자의 반사조건을 만족하는 파장성분의 경우 입력단(input port)에서 드롭단(drop port)으로 반사되어 나오고, 그 외의 파장성분은 출력단(Output port)으로 나오게 되어 드롭 기능을 수행하게 된다. 비슷한 원리로 add port에서 출력단으로의 add 기능도 수행된다. 본 논문에서는 연산자 분리 시영역 모델$^{(2)}$ 을 이용하여 비대칭구조에서의 파장응답 특성을 해석하였다. 또한 최적화를 위한 조건을 알아 보고, 소자 설계에 필요한 파라미터를 정의하여 최적설계에 필요한 파라미터를 구하였다.

A tunable optical delay line is designed, fabricated, and characterized. The tunable delay line consists of four polymer-ring add/drop filters with delay waveguides between adjacent ones. The polymer waveguide is a buried structure, designed to be square with core width and height of $1.8{\mu}m$. The refractive indices of the core and cladding polymer are 1.48 and 1.37 respectively. The large index difference and small cross section of the waveguide enable us to realize a compact device using a small radius of curvature. Four pairs of electrodes are evaporated above the add/drop filters to provide heating currents for thermal tuning. In measurements we can identify variable time delays of 110, 225, and 330 ps in proportion to the number of delay lines.

Add-drop filtering effect of a asymmetric fiber-optic coupler ADF(add/drop filter) is analyzed using a new split-step time-domain model. This model is very useful in simulating the devices containing a directional coupler an Bragg gratings, First, a symmetric fiber-optic coupler ADM is analyzed using this model to confirm the accuracy of the new method. Then, an asymmetric fiber-optic coupler ADF is analyzed, and some design parameters for optimal filtering effect is derived.
