Stable and tunable dual-wavelength erbium-doped fiber ring laser(EDFL) using a single fiber Bragg grating(FBG) and two coil heaters is proposed and demonstrated. Installing two identical coils into a single FBG, the FBG is symmetrically divided into two different portions. While a current supply to the coil, the refractive index of the FBG under the coil is changed. The FBG can operate as a joint of two different FBGs. Due to the thermo-optic effect of a fiber, the resonance wavelength split into two peaks. The spacing between two adjacent channels was changed as much as the difference of heating power. It was tuned up to 3 nm of wavelength under the electrical power with a 1000 mW. Moreover, the lasing wavelength can be individually tuned without influencing to the adjacent channel.

We propose an erbium-doped fiber ring laser whose multi-wavelength oscillation is tunable and switchable by tuning fiber bragg gratings. By applying axial pressure on the fiber bragg grating, the wavelength spacing of the proposed laser can be tuned continuously. And by adjusting a polarization controller(PC), the proposed laser can be switched among dual-, triple- and four-wavelength lasing operations.

The theoretical and experimental current-voltage characteristics of Erbium silicided n-type Schottky barrier tunneling transistors (SBTTs) are discussed. The theoretical drain current to drain voltage characteristics show good correspondence and the extracted Schottky barrier height is 0.24 eV. The experimentally manufactured n-type SBTTs with 60 nm gate lengths show typical transistor behaviors in drain current to drain voltage characteristics. The drain current on/off ratio is about 10$^{5}$ at low drain voltage regime in drain current to gate voltage characteristics.

A novel interrogation scheme to detect fine Bragg wavelength shift using a long period fiber grating pair with erbium-doped fiber inserted between the two gratings is reported. The technique is shown to feature high resolution and much more immunity to temperature perturbation compared to the conventioned Mach-Zehnder interferometer demodulation system. For quasi-static strain measurement, this approach provides high wavelength resolution of 0.05 pm that corresponds to 41.7 ne in strain and $3.8 $\times$ 10^{-3}$$^{\circ}C$ in temperature. This interrogation system is also employed in dynamic measurement to obtain the minimum detectable strain perturbation of ~ 8.76 ne/H $z^{{\frac}{1}{2}}$ at 100 Hz. Moreover, this interrogation system has prominent thermal stability. This thermal stability comes from the fact that two arms of the interferometer, the core and cladding in erbium-doped fiber, are exposed to nearly the same environment .

최근 광통신 시스템에서는 파장분할다중화(WDM) 방식의 도입으로 인해, 한 개의 레이저 신호를 입사시켜 여러 개의 레이저 신호를 발생시켜 광원으로 사용하는 연구가 활발히 진행되어 왔다. Park et al.[1]은 Erbium Doped Fiber Laser(EDFL)에서 1.1nm 파장간격으로 24라인을 얻었고, Yamashita et al.[2]은 내부 에탈론 구조를 가진 EDFL에서 0.8nm 간격으로 17라인, D.Yu et al.[3]은 반사형 거울과 Circulator를 사용한 Brillouin/Erbium Fiber Laser(BEFL)에서 0.08nm 간격으로 30라인, G.J.Cowle et al.[4]은 Injection-Seed Locking을 이용한 BEFL.에서 0.09nm 간격으로 12라인 그리고 N.S.Kim et al.[5]은 내부 되먹임을 이용한 BEFL에서 0.09nm 간격으로 4라인을 각각 발생시켰다. 여기서 중요한 요소로는 발생된 레이저 신호의 안정성, 각 신호들 간의 파장간격, 레이저 신호의 수 그리고 Peak Intensity 간의 차이 등이 있는데 각 연구방식에 따라 다양한 결과를 보여준다. 본 실험에서는 향상된 되먹임 구조를 가진 BEFL에서 다파장 발생에 관한 연구를 하였다.

The pair-induced quenching (PIQ) effect in a highly doped bismuth oxide-based erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) was theoretically and experimentally investigated. In the theoretical investigation, the bismuth oxide-based EDFA was modeled as a 6-level amplifier system that incorporated clustering-induced concentration quenching, cooperative up-conversion, pump excited state absorption (ESA), and signal ESA. The relative number of paired ions in a highly doped bismuth oxide EDF was estimated to be ~6.02%, determined by a comparison between the theoretical and the experimentally measured gain values. The impacts of the PIQ on the gain and the noise figure were also investigated.

An erbium doped fiber amplifier(EDFA) pumped by aingle 1.48$\mu$m LD was fabricated, and its gain and noise characteristics were measured. As a signal source, 1548 nm wavelength DFB LD was used. The small signal net gain of the EDFA module was 21.8 dB with maximum gain coefficient 0.7dB/mW for the erbium fiber length of 17.6 m, the pump power of 58 mW, and an input signal power of -25 dBm, respectively. The saturation power of the EDFA was 1 dBm for the input signal power of -5 dBm and the noise figure, measured by using an optical spectrum analyzer, was 5.8 dB for the input signal power of -40 dBm.

Optical and electrical properties of GaSe:Er\ulcorner single crystals grown by the Bridgenman technique have been investigated by using optical absorption and h\Hall-effect measurement system. The Hall coefficients were mea-sured by using a high impedance electrometer in the temperature range from 360K to 150K. The temperature dependence of hole concentration show the characteristic of a partially compensated p-type semiconductor. Carrier density(N\ulcorner) of GaSe doped with Erbium was measured about 3.25$\times$10\ulcorner [cm\ulcorner] at temperature 300K, which was higher than undoped specimen. Photon energy gap (E\ulcorner) of GaSe:Er\ulcorner specimen was measured about 1.79eV.

In this paper we propose a cryogenic sensor system which can measure the temperature at higher resolution at low temperature using temperature-dependent amplified spontaneous emission of erbium-doped fiber pumped by a 1480 nm laser diode. The measurement resolution of the sensor system could be enhanced through the modulation of injection current of the pump laser diode. The measurement resolution considering the fluctuation of the light source in the sensor system was ${\sim}0.4$ K in the room temperature regime and ${\sim}0.07$ K in the liquid nitrogen temperature regime.
