  • 본 논문에서는 저잡음 특성을 지닌 광대역 비간섭성 광원 (BLS: Broadband Light Source)을 제안하고 이를 방송 및 통신의 통합 서비스를 제공하는 파장 분할 다중방식 수동형 광 가입자망 (WDM-PON: Wavelength Division Multiplexing-Passive Optical Network)에 적용함으로써 경제적인 광가입자망의 가능성을 시험하였다. 제안된 BLS는 경제적인 WDM-PON용 광원인 파장 잠김된 패브리 페롯 레이저 다이오드 (wavelength-locked F-P LD: wavelength-locked Fabry-Perot Laser Diode)를 위한 외부 주입 광원으로 사용되어 파장 무의존성 (color-free operation, i.e., wavelength independent operation)을 지닌 고밀도 WDM-PON (DWDM-PON: Dense WDM-PON)의 구현을 가능하게 한다. 또한 오버레이 (overlay) 방식의 방송 서비스를 위한 광원으로 응용되어 영상 및 화상 중심으로 융합된 서비스를 효율적으로 수용할 수 있는 광대역 통합망의 가능성을 시험하였다.

  • We demonstrated the feasibility of an amplified wavelength-division multiplexed passive optical network (WDM-PON) architecture based on broadband light source (BLS) seeded optical sources and a novel bidirectional reach extender. Our bidirectional reach extender could provide an amplification of both downstream and upstream signals as well as a BLS output for the upstream WDM signal generation. An error-free 1.25 Gb/s signal transmission over a 100-km long single-mode fiber was achieved in a bidirectional WDM-PON using BLS seeded reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA) sources.

  • We demonstrate a cost effective broadcast signal transmission at 1.25-Gb/s with 100 GHz channel spacing based on a broadband light source (BLS) for a wavelength division multiplexing-passive optical network (WDM-PON). The BLS is implemented by using mutually injected Fabry-Perot laser diodes (MI F-P LDs). The error-free transmission without a forward error correction (FEC) is achieved by its low relative intensity noise (RIN). The number of usable modes is determined by RIN and/or extinction ratio (ER) in the spectrum sliced light output.

  • We have evaluated the performances of bidirectional optical amplifiers which were suited for the cost-effective implementation of amplified bidirectional passive optical networks (PONs). First, we measured the maximum gains of two simple bidirectional optical amplifiers implemented without using any optical components for the suppression of reflected signals. From the results, the maximum gains of two simple bidirectional amplifiers with a broadband light source (BLS) seeded optical source were limited to be 27 dB due to the reflection-induced in-band crosstalk, when the reflectance coefficients were measured to be -33 dB in both directions. Then, we have also implemented a bidirectional optical amplifier with two band splitters for the amplified bidirectional PON where the two different wavelength bands were allocated to the downstream and upstream signals transmission. In our measurement, we confirmed that the maximum gain of bidirectional optical amplifier with two band splitters could be increased to more than 30 dB owing to the efficient suppression of in-band crosstalk.

  • Performances of spectrum-sliced channels are strongly affected by their relative intensity noise (RIN). We use polarization-independent optical modulators (PIOMs) for spectrum-sliced channels to suppress their RIN. The PIOM driven by a high sinusoidal voltage signal evenly redistributes optical frequency components in the spectral domain and reduces the RIN. It can be used at a broadband light source (BLS) output to produce spectrum-sliced channels having lower RIN values. Also, it can be used for each spectrum-sliced channel within each optical network unit (ONU). In our experiment, where 12.5-GHz-spaced spectrum-sliced channels are used in 1-GbE speed, the use of PIOM at the BLS output reduces the bit error rate (BER) of the spectrum-sliced channel by more than an order of magnitude. The use of PIOM within the ONU reduces the BER by approximately 3 orders of magnitude.

  • 외부에서 주입된 비간섭성 광원 (BLS: Broadband Light Source)에 파장 잠김된 패브리 페롯 레이저 다이오드(wavelength-locked F-P LD: wavelength-locked Fabry-Perot Laser Diode)를 광원으로 사용해서 50 GHz의 채널 간격을 갖는 양방향 장거리 저송 35 채널 고밀도 파장분할 다중방식 수동형 광 가입자망 (DWDM-PON: Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing-Passive Optical Network)을 구현한다. 장거리 전송을 위해 F-P LD의 발진 모드를 제어하여 F-P LD에 주입이 요구되는 BLS 파워를 감소시키면서 출력 파워를 높인다. 결과적으로 광 증폭기의 사용 없이 70 km 단일 모드 광섬유를 통해 가입자당 100 Mb/s 이상의 대역폭을 제공하면서 모든 상하향 70 채널에서 손실 없이 이더넷 패킷을 전송하였다. 구현된 장거리 저송 DWDM-PON은 다수의 중앙국을 바이패스(Bypass)함으로써 메트로망과 가입자망을 통합할 수 있다. 또한, 구현한 DWDM-PON은 상용의 어븀 첨가 광섬유 증폭기를 광대역 광원으로 사용하여 80 가입자를 수용할 수 있으며, 반도체 광대역 광원을 사용하면, 100 가입자 이상의 수용이 가능하다.

  • A simple water level measurement method based on wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) is proposed and demonstrated. The measurement principle is based on the change of Fresnel reflection occurring at the end facet of the optical fiber tip (OFT). To increase the spatial resolution of water level sensing, a broadband light source (BLS) and an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) are employed. The OFTs are multiplexed with the dedicated wavelength channels of AWG. By measuring all of the reflection powers reflected at the OFTs with a proposed on-site reflectometer, the water level can be monitored continuously for a fast emergency response. Moreover, it can be implemented easily with the commercially available optical components and devices with the simple configuration.

  • We have demonstrated an amplified wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) passive optical network (PON) by using broadband light source (BLS) seeded optical sources and chirped fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) based dispersion compensators. Chirped FBGs located at central office (CO) were fabricated and used as channel-by-channel dispersion compensators in order to mitigate the dispersion-induced distortion of both downstream and upstream signals. Owing to a low insertion loss of chirped FBG based dispersion compensator, the optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) of the downstream signal could be improved to be ~28 dB. Thus, we re-confirmed that an error-free transmission of 1.25 Gb/s signals over a 100 km single-mode fiber (SMF) link could be achieved with a proposed amplified WDM-PON architecture. We have also evaluated the impact of various noises on the system's performance, and found that the low OSNR of the downstream signal would be a main limiting factor on the maximum reach of the proposed amplified WDM-PON architecture. From the measured ~13 dB improvement in OSNR of the downstream signal compared to our previously-proposed dispersion compensating module based scheme, we believe that the proposed architecture can accommodate a reach of longer than 100 km SMF link easily.

  • 본 논문에서는 자기기준 특성을 가지는 광세기 기반 광섬유 센서 구조를 제안하고 실험적으로 구현하여 성능을 제시한다. 제안하는 광섬유 센서는 광대역 광원(BLS), fiber Bragg grating (FBG), 가변 페브리-페로(Fabry-Perot) 필터, LabVIEW 프로그램으로 구성된다. 제안한 자기기준 광섬유 센서의 이론적인 해석을 통하여 측정 변수(X)와 보정 변수(${\beta}$)를 정의하고, 이를 바탕으로 전달함수(H)를 구한다. 또한 실험을 통하여 이론적인 해석의 타당성을 제시한다. 제안한 광섬유 센서 구조는 광대역 광원의 출력 광세기가 0 dB, 3 dB, 6 dB 감소해도 측정결과에 영향을 미치지 않는 자기기준 특성을 가진다. 또한 다른 특성의 FBG를 사용하여도 측정 가능하므로, 제안한 광섬유 센서 구조는 임의의 규격을 가진 FBG를 사용할 수 있다. 광원의 광세기가 감소하였을 때와 세 가지 다른 특성의 FBG 쌍을 이용하여 측정한 결과 이론적인 값과 잘 일치함을 보였다. 따라서 제안한 광섬유 센서는 자기기준 특성과 구성하는 FBG의 규격이 비교적 엄격하지 않아도 되는 장점을 가진다.
