We have fabricated optical waveguide which utilizes intermixing of InGaAs/InGaAsP multi quantum well separate confinement heterostructure. The waveguide was fabricated by reactive ion etching technique using $CH_4/H_2$ gas mixture, and the width and depth of the waveguide ware $5{\mu}m$ and $1.2{\mu}m$, respectively. The propagation loss of the waveguide was measured by Fabry-Perot interference phenomena using tunable laser. For the waveguide after $800^{\circ}C$, 30s heat treatment, the measured loss was 3.76dB/cm and 3.95dB/cm for TE and TM mode, respectively. This value is very small compared to other waveguide made by IFVD technique. Hence, this technique can applied to integration of waveguide and electronic devices.

20 GHz and 40 GHz micro/millimeter-wave photonic pulse trains have been generated from a fiber ring laser with a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) by injecting 2 GHz gain-switched Fabry-Perot laser diode (GS-FPLD) output. To achieve efficient cross-gain modulation in the SOA at 20 GHz and 40 GHz, individual lasing modes of the 2 GHz GS-FPLD output separated to 25 and 50 picoseconds respectively by passing dispersion compensating fibers.

We developed a fiber-optic Bragg grating sensor system using a SOA fiber laser for over heat detection in power systems. To compensate the nonlinear wavelength tuning of the fiber laser, we used fixed passband wavelengths from Fabry-Perot ITU filter as reference wavelengths. Gaussian line-fitting algorithm was also used to reduce the FBG peak detection error. Compared with a highest-peak-detection and a polynomial-fitting method, the proposed Gaussian fitting algorithm could drastically reduce the measurement errors. Also the SOA fiber laser made it possible to enhance the signal-to-noise-ratio even with several kilometers of lead fiber.

We demonstrate a Pr³⁺:YLF 639.7-nm laser with single-frequency output based on the Q-switched pre-lase technology, pumped by a fiber-coupled GaN blue laser diode. The pre-lase technology is realized by the step-type loss of the acousto-optical Q-switched device. The conclusions of the theoretical research are verified experimentally. The mode-suppression ratio was 44 dB at the single-frequency laser output. Detection by interferometer verified the realization of the stable single-frequency laser. In addition, the emission spectrum had a linewidth of 139.9 MHz, measured by Fabry-Perot interferometer. The single-frequency laser's single-peak power was over 19.7 W with 98.8-ns pulse duration, obtained under an absorption power of 1.74 W.

A spot-size converted Fabry-Perot laser diode (LD) was flip-chip bonded to a silica-terraced planar lightwave circuit(PLC) platform to examine the effect of the silica terrace on the heat dissipation of the LD module. From the measurement of the light-current characteristics, it was discovered that the silica terrace itself is not a strong thermal barrier, but the encapsulation of the integrated LD with an index-matching polymer resin more or less deteriorates the heat dissipation.

We demonstrate a ring type wavelength swept laser incorporating a fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter in a laser cavity using 1300 nm semiconductor optical amplifier as a gain medium. The output characteristics of the wavelength swept laser according to the applied scanning frequencies are analyzed in the temporal and spectral domain. The output of the wavelength swept laser decreases dramatically as the scanning frequency increases. And there is a significant peak power imbalance between the forward scan and the backward scan as the scanning frequency increases. Its use in practical applications might be limited.

A new wavelength tunable laser source based on a self-seeded F-P LD for a WDM-PON system has been proposed in this paper. The proposed laser source has a merit of the wavelength tunable range of approximately 20 nm with very simple setup. The measured minimum relative intensity noise(RIN) was approximately -124 dB/Hz and the possibility of 10 Gb/s external modulation was showed.

Narrowing the spectral linewidth and improving the wavelength stability of high-power laser diodes (HPLDs) are both in high demand for rapidly maturing industrial laser applications. In this study, we investigate the spectral behavior of a commercial HPLD bar module composed of 19 laser diodes (LDs) in a single-layered bar with a built-in volume Bragg grating (VBG) and an additional cascaded VBG. Optical loss due to the extra cascaded VBG is kept below 5% when the optical output is 5 W or more. The full width at half maximum of the Fabry-Perot peak from the cascaded VBG is reduced to about 12.4% and 29.1% at the edge (1^st LD) and center (10^th LD) of the HPLD bar module respectively, compared to using only a built-in VBG at an optical power of 10 W or more. In addition, fine wavelength tuning is achieved by temperature control of the extra VBG, and the obtained wavelength-tuning range amounts to about 10.6 pm/K.

The defects evaluation of the interior and the surface would be considered as vital characteristics in predicting the total life span of the steel structure. More importantly, the understandings in the interior composite of welding zone and the notifications in the presence, the formation, and the positioning of the non-metallic inclusion are necessary as well, since there were signs of relatively high defect frequency presented in the welding zone. The ultrasonic testing is a highly recommended technique chosen from among other techniques because of variety of advantages in conducting the non-destructive testing for the welding zone. However, the ultrasonic testing had technical disadvantages referred as followings; the problems due to the couplant between the PZT and the specimen, the formations that were miniature and complex, the moving subject, and the high temperature surrounding the specimen. This research was conducted to resolve the technical disadvantages of the contact ultrasonic testing by studying the non-contact ultrasonic testing where the ultrasonic waves were transferred by the laser, and revealing the specimen defects at its interior part and its surface part. The ultimate goal of this research was to develop a non-destructive evaluation applying the laser manipulated ultrasonic method for the steel structure.
