A new all-optical flip-flop (AOFF) method based on the absorption nulls of an injection-locked Fabry-Perot laser diode (FP-LD) in transverse magnetic (TM) mode is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. For the set and reset operations of the AOFF, injection locking and the destructive minus of beating in transverse electric (TE) mode are used. The absorption nulls on the TM mode are modulated according to the operations, and then non-inverted (Q) and inverted (${\bar{Q}}$) outputs can be obtained simultaneously. Thanks to the use of several absorption nulls, the proposed AOFF can achieve multiple outputs with extinction ratios of more than 15 dB. Even though the experiment is demonstrated at 100 Mbit/s, the results of previous experiments using the injection of a CW holding beam imply that the operation speed can increase to 10 Gbit/s.

초고속 광전송 네트워크에 사용되는 광부품으로 단일 모드 광섬유와의 낮은 광 결합 손실을 가지는 레이저 다이오드 개발이 필수적이다. 이러한 레이저 다이오드의 요구되는 특성으로써 저가의 광부품 제작을 위해 thermoelectric cooler 없이 고온에서 안정된 동작을 하는 uncooled type에, 광 isolator 도움없이 광반사에 의한 광손실을 줄여야 한다. 이러한 요건을 충족시키기 위하여 선택적 영역 MOCVD성장을 이용한 InP／InGaAsP 계열의 SSC-LD(spot-size converter integrated LD)를 연구하여 왔다.

광통신기술은 통신기술의 발달과정에서 1960년대에 등장한 새로운 통신기술로 몇 단계의 기술혁신을 거쳐 현재에 이르러는 보편화된 통신기술로 자리잡아 가고 있으며 2000년대 정보화 사회구축을 위한 핵심기술로 인식되고 있다. 이러한 광통신의 기본원리는 다음과 같다. 즉 우리가 통신에서 주로 이용하는 전화, 데이타, 영상정보등은 아날로그 또는 디지털 신호로서 이 신호들은 다중화 및 변조과정을 거쳐 고속전기신호를 구성하며, 이 고속전기신호를 광신호로 변환하는 반도체 레이저(LD: Laser Diode)에서 고속광 신호로 변환된다. 이 광신호는 전송손실이 매우 적은 광매체인 광섬유를 통해 40km - 100km 정도를 무중계로 전송된다. 전송된 미약한 광신호는 광검출기(PD:Photo Diode)에서 전기신호로 변환된 후 복조 및 역다중화과정을 거쳐 원래의 정보로 재현된다. 이러한 광통신원리를 이용한 광전송 기술은 기존의 동축이나 마이크로웨이브 전송기술에 비해 우수한 전송특성을 갖는다. 즉 광섬유가 가지는 거의 무한대의 전송대역폭(Bandwidth), 광소자의 높은 변조특성을 이용하여 현재에도 이미 10Gb/s급의 고속전송이 가능하며 2000년대 초반에는 수백 Gb/s급의 전송장치가 개발될 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 광전송기술은 현시대에 가장 경제적이고 신뢰성있는 통신수단으로 인식되고 있으며 초고속 정보 통신망 구축의 핵심기술이 될 것으로 예측된다. 이에 광전송기술의 발달과정, 차세대 광 전송기술 및 응용사례등을 살펴보고자 한다.

In this paper, the output characteristics of PSD(Position Sensetive Detector) used in measurement system are described. Most of the precision measurment systems are accomplished by a laser diode(LD), a photo diode(PD) and PSD(Position Sensetive Detector), which are used in reflection of mirror or projection of infrared spectrometer. But it is especially restricted by resolution of PD and PSD in nano-measurement. A new inclined light methods into the PSD are employed in the surface measurement system for increasing the resolution. As the results, we can know that the output characteristics of detective senser (PSD) become more than 2 or 3 times by changing inclined angle(range: 5 degree) compared with common angle. In addition, the experiment results are confirmed that the change of inclined angle is not affecting to the linearity and repeating.

Visible light communication(VLC) is one type of short-range, optical, and wireless communication system utilizing light emitting diode(LED) and laser diode(LD) as optical source. In a VLC system, visible light is used as a transmission medium and used to illuminate. Using VLC has a lot of advantages: it is harmless to human body; it transmits with high power, and it has excellent security, a high data rate, and a license free frequency band. With such a unique blend of communication and illumination in one system, the most common application would be an indoor environment. We aim at reviewing key issues in VLC network such as : FOV(field of view), priority MAC, cooperative MAC, link switching, LED-ID technique, cell site diversity, and link recovery.

The PSPICE equivalent circuit elements of a 1550 nm InGaAsP laser diode were derived by using multi-level rate equations. The device parameters were extracted by using a self-consistent numerical method for the optical gain properties of the MQW active regions. The resulting equivalent circuit model is also applied to an actual optical transmitter, and its PSPICE simulation results show good agreement with the measured results once the parasitic capacitance due to the packaging is taken into account.

The thermal characteristics of a laser diode TO package has been analyzed using a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool, and the thermal bypass structure was optimized. Comparison of device temperature and the estimated thermal resistance of the resultant structure showed that the bypass structure relieved the thermal bottleneck, and improved the thermal characteristics quite efficiently.

We investigate the evaluation items of LSU (Laser Scanning Unit), such as beam size, f$\theta$ characteristics, linearity, skew and bow, optical power ratio between image height of 0mm and $\pm$108 mm, pitch error, Jitter and shift of printing position. Through the measurement of LSU using BSH (Beam Scan Head) installed on LMC (Linear Motion Controller) which moves linearly within the whole scanning range (-108 mm~+108 mm), we can ascertain plastic f$\theta$ lenses, which are manufactured by TVLP (Two-step Variable Low Pressure) molding method, to satisfy 600DPI(Dots Per Inch) performance.

Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensors detect the distance of the surrounding environment and objects. Conventional LiDAR sensors require a certain amount of a power because they detect objects by transmitting lasers at a regular interval depending on a constant resolution. The constant power consumption from operating multiple LiDAR sensors is detrimental to autonomous and electric vehicles using battery power. In this paper, we propose two algorithms that improve the inefficient power consumption during the constant operation of LiDAR sensors. LiDAR sensors with algorithms efficiently reduce the power consumption in two ways: (a) controlling the resolution to vary the laser transmission period (T_P) of a laser diode (LD) depending on the vehicle's speed and (b) reducing the static power consumption using a sleep mode depending on the surrounding environment. A proposed LiDAR sensor with a resolution control algorithm reduces the power consumption of the LD by 6.92% to 32.43% depending on the vehicle's speed, compared to the maximum number of laser transmissions (N_x·max). The sleep mode with a surrounding environment-sensing algorithm reduces the power consumption by 61.09%. The proposed LiDAR sensor has a risk factor for 4-cycles that does not detect objects in the sleep mode, but we consider it to be negligible because it immediately switches to an active mode when a change in surrounding conditions occurs. The proposed LiDAR sensor was tested on a commercial processor chip with the algorithm controlling the resolution according to the vehicle's speed and the surrounding environment.
