We experimentally investigated the dependence of extinction ratio and chirp on bias current which was injected into DFB-LD in a directly modulated 2.5 Obitls transmitter. Through the abnormal dispersion transmission, we found that transmission power penalty is minimized at 8-10 dB extinction ratio (bias current at 1.5-1.8 fold above threshold current). Also, we discussed the relation between extinction ratio and self phase modulation (SPM) through the 240 km abnormal dispersion transmission. When SPM takes effect, we obtained the best receiver sensitivity for specific system configuration at 10.4 dB and 8.4 dB extinction ratio, below and above 200km transmission distance, respectively. ively.

We present simulation results for a method designed to extract key parameter values of DFB-type LDs based on ASE spectrum measurements. Comparisons were made between the given (actual) and the extracted (estimated) parameters, as well as the associated spectra, fur a variety of DFB-type LDs, and the two sets of results were found to be in excellent agreement.

InGaAsP/InP ridge waveguide(RWG) distributed feedback(DFB) lasers (LD) operating at 1.55.mu.m were fabricated by a two step MOCVD process. The CW laser threshold and the slope efficiency from these lasers are 22.5mA and 0.127mW/MA perfacet at room temperature. Single longitudinal mode operation with side mode suppression of more than 30dB is obtained at 5mW. The temperature sensitivity and characteristic temperature (T$_{0}$) from DFB lasers were obtained 1.0.angs./.deg. C and 50.3K between 20.deg. C and 70.deg. C, respectively.y.

13C2H2분자의 1.54949$\mu$m 회전-진동 전이 흡스선을 이용하여 DFB LD의 발전주파수를 안정화 시킴으로써 이를 주파수대욕 광 다중통신(OFDM)의 표준주파수를 광동기 신호로 활용하는 방안에 대하여 연구하였다. 본 연구에서는 DFB LD의 발진주파수의 변화에 따른 기체 Cell의 투과한 빛의 세기의 변화를 연산 처리하여 이를 안정화 Loop에 대한 error 신호로 사용하여 줌으로써 MHz 이내에 주파수 안정도를 갖는 광 동기신호를 구성하였다. 이러한 안정화 방법을 이용하여 이제까지 제안된 다른 방법에 비하여 광학계통과 광신호처리 과정을 크게 단순화 된, 또한 동작중 자체 진단 및 자동복구 기능을 갖춘 이상적인 신호를 구성하였다.

A novel optical coupling filter with finite-thickness metal-strip gratings printed on optical planar dielectric slabs is proposed, and Bragg conditions of the device are rigorously evaluated by using Modal Transmission-Line Theory (MTLT). The numerical results reveal that the guiding structures have filtering properties due to a leaky-wave stop-band while conventional DFB guiding structures consisted of dielectric gratings depend on a feedback-wave stop-band. Consequently, it shows that the optical coupling titter dependent on the leaky-wave filtering characteristics can be compounded of such optical devices as LD and optical fiber.

This article presents the RSOA-based re-modulation schemes for practical application to the WDM-PON link. Emphasis is put on the three methods for reducing the residual downstream signal in the upstream transmission; the simplest one is to use the RSOA gain-saturation property, the second uses selective filtering of the adiabatic-chirped DFB-LD output spectrum, and the last uses a dynamic RSOA gain control by varying its driving current according to the incident binary signal. The reflection sensitivity in the proposed re-modulation link is also qualitatively presented in the cases of using two different types of seed light: coherent light from DFB-LD array and spectrum-sliced incoherent ASE light. We show experimental results of an error-free bidirectional gigabit transmission over 20 km at -30 dB reflection with the spectrum-sliced ASE seed light.

This paper proposes a hybrid optical lines composed of single-mode fiber(SMF) and multi-mode fiber(MMF) for gigabit-capable Passive Optical Network(GPON) using a WDM method with a single light source per each channel, and reports the results of transmission performance the proposed lines. The transmission link uses a direct modulated DFB-LD for high speed downstreams at the optical line terminal(OLT) of central office(CO) and a low cost SFP type transceiver for low-speed upstream in optical network unit(ONU). To split or combine the transmission channels, wavelength MUX/DEMUX are used in the optical line section, and MMFs not longer than 1 km are attached to the SMF lines at the ONU side of the WDM-PON links. We have performed the transmission experiment on the downstream of 2.5 Gbit/s, and 1.25 Gbit/s, and the upstream of 1.25 Gbit/s, and 622 Mbit/s which are recommended by ITU-T G.984.2. The transmission margin and feasibility of the proposed links have been tested to be suitable up to 2.5 Gbit/s transmission.

As the demand of internet networks using backbone communication systems recently increased, the researches on the high-speed wideband optical communication systems are required. For high-speed optical communication systems, asymmetric sampled grating distributed feedback laser diodes (DFB-LDs) are developed and the reliability of DFB-LDs is examined. The reliability of DFB-LDs is performed by monitoring I-V and L-I characteristics and two degradation phenomena related to the electrical characteristics of LDs are observed during the life tests. The first degradation phenomenon by increasing the reverse current is considered as a formation of leakage current path enough to prevent lasing operation in lateral blocking layer near active region of lasers. The second degradation phenomenon by decreasing the forward current is considered as activation of non-radiative Auger recombination process by thermal energy and the second degradation phenomenon is recovered after the off-test period at room temperature Eventually, evaluating the reliability of DFB LDs can allow us to improved the manufacturability in high-volume manufacturing.

In this paper, we propose a WDM optical true time-delay (OTTD) beam former for phased way antenna (PAA) systems. It is composed of a delay lines matrix and a multiwavelength source with discrete DFB laser diodes. The building block of a delay lines matrix is a $2\times2$ optical MEMS switch with proper fiber-optic delay line connected between cross ports. A $4\times3$ matrix using four DFB lasers has been fabricated with unit time-delay difference of 12 ps. Maximum time-delay error was measured to be -1.74 ps and +1.14 ps at a radiation angle of $46.05^{\circ}$, corresponding to error range of $-2.87^{\circ}\sim+1.88^{\circ}$. By measuring time-delays at six different RF frequencies from 5- to 10-GHz, we verified the true time-delay characteristic of our OTTD.
