We report experimental results on the wavelength and polarization selective coupling properties of fiber-to-planar waveguide coupler having a thin metal intermediate layer. The influence of the metal layer thickness and the refractive index of the superstrate on the device properties has been measured and explained. The proposed device exhibited various application possibilities including polarizers, modulators, and sensors.

Fiber optic connector, ferrule, is a device to connect and align fiber optics cable on fiber-optic communication system. In this paper, Structural analysis was performed to analyze bed and frame structure of co-axial grinding machine. Deformation and modal analysis for natural frequency was performed using ANSYS Designspace program to analyze structural characteristics. New improved model of bed and frame structure was proposed based on initial basic model.

We report an experimental investigation of the wavelength and polarization selectivity of a side-polished fiber in contact with a metal-clad planar waveguide. The influences of the structural parameters of the planar waveguide, including refractive index of the superstrate and metal thickness, on the optical transmission characteristics of the device were measured and explained. The conditions for high wavelength and polarization selectivity wore predicted and demonstrated experimentally.

We report theoretical investigation on the polarization selective coupling characteristics of a side-polished fiber directional coupler with a thin metal interlayer. Based on normal mode theory the coupling properties of the device under various structural conditions are analyzed. It is shown that the coupling strength between TE modes weakens rapidly with increase or metal interlayer thickness, whereas that between TM modes becomes stronger. The design conditions of the polarization splitter using the coupler to achieve high extinction ratio and low insertion loss are presented.

The micro optical parts such as ferrules are required to be manufactured within very small tolerances, as the slight deviation of the tolerance would give very large amount of loss in communication efficiency. For efficient optical communication, outer diameter, fiber diameter, fiber separation and eccentricity are significant parameters to be inspected., Thus we developed an automatic inspection system to evaluate shape parameters of the optical fiber connectors(ferrule) upto submicron accuracy using machine vision. new optical probe of multi fields of views has been developed and the image processing and data analysis algorithms have been complemented in real time basis. The developed system is successfully used in the practical ferrule manufacturing industry, and about 0.1$\mu\textrm{m}$ accuracy can be obtained with very fast inspection time.

In the fiber-optic gyroscope employing a high-power erbium-doped fiber source, the source excess noise was subtracted from the gyro output through a single processing to improve the gyroscope sensitivity. As the result, we obtained the reduction of noise by 13.5 dB (electrical) which was measured from the noise floor spectrum when the gyro was modulated with the depth of 1.8 rad. In addition, the random walk coefficient of the gyro output was reduced by a factor of 4~5.

We have demonstrated 200 km non-dispersion shifted fiber(NDSF) transmission of 10 Gb/s signal by using mid-span spectral inversion(MSSI) method as a dispersion compensation technique. We have used four-wave mixing process in dispersion shifted fiber(DSF) to generate a spectrum inverted signal. The spectral inversion efficiency of -26.7dB and signal to noise ratio of 23.0 dB have been achieved. The measured sensitivities at $10^{-9}$ bit error rates (BER) were -28.0 dBm in back to back configuration and -27.0 dBm after transmission of 200 km NDSF.

We made a film of a few ${\mu}m$ thickness by evaporating $As_2S_3$ piece to perpendicularly cut optical fiber by thermal evaporation process. Linear refractive index(n) and linear absorption coefficient(k) of amorphous $As_2S_3$ are 2.525 and $1.727{\times}10^{-3}$, respectively. A surface roughness did not exceed 2 nm and a transmission spectrum showed that the sample of thermal evaporation was homogeneous.

We demonstrate a novel mode locked fiber laser gyroscope that utilizes a rare-earth doped fiber. The output of the gyroscope is a series of short optical pulses. Without rotation, the optical pulses are equally spaced in the time domain. With rotation, the intervals of the optical pulses changes. By measuring the separation of the optical pulses in time domain, the rotation rate could be obtained. We also discuss the polarization effect that can cause signal errors.errors.

The use of thermally expanded core (TEe) fibers fabricated by thermal diffusion of dopants such as $GeO_{2}$ in hybrid fiber components has an advantage of eliminating lenses for collimation and focusing. An electric furnace is fabricated to heat the fibers locally for the core expansion. We observed an expansion of the mode size at $1.3\mu\textrm{m}$ wavelength by 27% after treating a section of single mode optical fiber at $1250^{\circ}C$ for 10 hours. hours.
