A novel ultra-narrow linewidth single longtudinal mode DFB semiconductor laser in the extended FBG cavity is proposed. The 3㏈ linewidth of 20KHz was demonstrated by using self-heterodyne measurement set-up with a fiber delay line of 63km. And this linewidth was further compressed to less than 3KHz, which is resolution limited performance, by inserting E $r^{+3}$ doped fiber saturable absorber. This is equivalent to 3㏈ linewidth of 2$\times$10$^{-8}$ nm.

InGaAsP/InP PBH-DFB-LD emitting at 1.55${\mu}$m wavelength has been fabricated for 2.5Gbps optical fiber communcations. For fabrication of PBH-DFB-LD, Interference expose for grating formation 3-step LPE epitaxial growth were used. Fabricated PBH-DFB-LD operates in single longitudinal mode with larger than 35dB SMSR and wider than 3dB bandwidth of 3GHz. A 8${\mu}$m mesa structure was introduced by channel etching to reuce parasitic capacitance. To reduce pad capacitance, we designed a small electrode. 0.27mW/mA in the case of spectrum shows single logitudinal mode operation with larger thatn 30dB SMSR measured at 5mW.

Linwidth enhancement factor .alpha., linwidth, chirping and differential gain characteristics were measured and compared for each DFB-LDs containing active layers composed of bulk, MQW, and S-MQW, respectively. .alpha. of 6, 4 and 3.2 and chirping measured under 2.5Gbps modulation of 1.29nm, 0.67nm and 0.48nm were given for DFB-LDs of bulk, MQW and S-MQW active layers, respectively. And S-MQW has the largest differential gin of 2.4*10$^{-15}$ cm$^{2}$ (S-MQW) compared to the of 5.4*10$^{-16}$ cm$^{2}$(bulk) and 8.6*10$^{-16}$ cm$^{2}$(MQW). Linewidth enhancement facter .alpha. of less than 2 is expected with p-type modulation doped S-MQW DFB-LD.

In this work, we studied the effect of chirped grating on optical bistability in λ/4-shifted semiconductor distributed-feedback(DFB) devices, such as an etalon with nonlinear mirrors, a λ/4-shifted DFB waveguide and aλ/4-shifted DFB laser amplifier. We found that chirped DFB devices exhibit bistable switching at a lower input power.OCIS code : 050.2770, 190.1450, 190.5970, 230.0230.

The operating characteristics, such as, the threshold gain, lasing frequency, and longitudinal intensity profile, etc., of 1.55$\mu$m DFB laser diode with index and/or gain grating structures and with one side AR-coated mirror have been analyzed. From this analysis, the optimum design parameters have been shown that ${\Delta}{\Omega}$ (the phase difference between index grating and gain grating) is 0 or ${\pi}$, (xL)$_{r}$=1~3 and (xL)$_{i}$=0.5~0.9. It has been also shown that the modal selectivity and intensity uniformity of the DFB lasers with .DELTA..OMEGA.=0 are ~1.2 times better thatn those of the DFB lasers with ${\Delta}{\Omega}$= ${\pi}$.

현대 시대에 광통신 시스템은 안정적이고 높은 단일 모드를 갖는 광원을 필요로 한다. 이 조건을 만족하는 λ／4 phase shifted DFB는 높은 단일모드 생성을 보였으나 high spatial hole burning문제점을 가지고 있다. λ／4 phase shift를 사용하지 않은 dual-pitch grating DFB가 소개되었지만 제작상의 어려움을 가지고 있다. 또 다른 구조인 selection-free tapered stripe DFB lasers가 제안되었는데 제작이 간단하면서도 높은 단일모드 생성을 보였다.

A novel ultra-narrow linewidth DFB laser in the extended FBG ring cavity having kHz linewidth is presented. The method of linewidth compression was realized by introducing an extended fiber ring cavity into the cavity between the external FBG and the Bragg grating inside a DFB laser diode. Optimum optical feedback control was achieved by using an optical circulator and a variable optical attenuator to prevent mode hopping induced by spatial hole burning. To prove the validity of the proposed scheme, a self-heterodyne measurement set-up with fiber delay line of 63 km was utilized for the ultra-narrow linewidth measurement. A 3 dB linewidth of less than 3 kHz was demonstrated, which is resolution limited performance. This linewidth is equivalent to 3 dB linewidth of 2$\times$10$^{-8}$ nm.

Effects of the external optical feedback on the optical transmission characteristics were evaluated for 3 kinds of commercialized DFB-LD modules for 2.5Gbps optical communication systems. As a result, intensity noise induced by external optical feedback via generating the external cavity modes deteriorated the transmission performances of sthe DFB-LD modules as much as 1.5dB, 1.2dB, and 1.0dB for the maximum feedback ratio of -8.8dB which corresponds to the worst reflection along the fiber transmission line. Additional penalty of 0.5dB was occurrred when state of polarization of feedback light was adjusted. From the experiments evaluating the isolation ratio of the single polarization optical isolator, decrease of the polarization dependent isolation ratio as much as 10dB from that of specification and the effective isolation ratio as much as 20dB from that of specification was mjor cause of high sensitivity of DFB-LD modules to external feedback. It was suggested that polarization independent optical isolator or single polarization optical isolator with isolation ratio specification of more than 40dB is required for 2.5Gbps DFB-LD modules with complete suppression of external feedback effects.

In 1.55.mu.m DFB lasers with two non-AR mirrors, I have analyzed the effect of the sturctures of indes and/or gain gratings and mirror positions on the threshold gains, the lasing frequencies, and the beam profiles in longitudinal direction of lasers. I have obtained the optimum condition of static characteristics that ${\Delta}{\Omega}$(the phase difference betweeen index grating and gain grating is 3${\pi}$/4, $({\kappa}L)_{i}$=4~6 in case of $({\kappa}L)_{i}$=0.9 and $({\kappa}L)_{i}$=3~5 in case of $({\kappa}L)_{i}$=0.7. The modal selectivity and intensity uniformity of this optimum condition are 2~2.5 times better than those of the gain-coupled DFB lasers ${\Delta}{\Omega}$=0). The gain-coupled DFB lasers${\Delta}{\Omega}$=0) have 10$^{10) times better modal selectivity and intensity uniformity than the loss-coupled DFB lasers(TEX>${\Delta}{\Omega}$=${\pi}$).

This paper presents a new algorithm of fingerprint image analysis and processing using directional filter bank(DFB). The directional components of ridge is very important in pre-processing steps of fingerprint image processing such as image enhancement by directional filtering followed by estimationg the directional image of ridge patterns. The DFB analyzes input image into directional subband images and synthesizes them to the perfectly reconstructed image. In this paper, a new fingerprint processing algorithm using the DFB is proposed. The algorithm decomposes the fingerprint image into directional subband images and performs directional map generation, foreground segmentation, singular points extraction and image enhancement based on local directional energy estimate.
