A widely tunable U-shaped SGDBR (Sampled Grating Distributed Bragg Reflector) laser diode is designed and analyzed by means of a time-domain simulation. The U-shaped SGDBR laser diode consists of SGDBR, active, phase, and TIR (Total Internal Reflection) mirror sections, so the coupling losses across the sections should be carefully considered. The tuning range of the designed U-shaped SGDBR laser is about 1525-1570 nm, which is confirmed by the simulation. The simulation results show that the loss in the TIR mirror region should be less than about 2 dB, and the refractive-index difference at the butt coupling between the passive and active regions should be less than 0.1, to provide the complete tuning range.

A new fiber coupling scheme using thermally over-expanded core(TOEC) fiber was proposed and demonstrated. In the coupling experiment between 1.3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ FP-LD and the proposed TOEC fiber with a tapered hemispherical microlens. superior performances such as a long working distance, a high coupling efficiency, and large misalignment tolerances were verified experimentally.

-Part I- As market needs become more various, the production of smaller quantities of a wider variety of products becomes increasingly important. In addition, in order to meet demands for more efficient production, long-term unmanned factory operation is prevailing at a remarkable pace. Within this context, laser machines are gaining increasing popularity for use in applications such as cutting and welding metallic and ceramic materials. FANUC supplies four models of $CO_2$ laser oscillators with laser power ranging from 1.5㎾ to 6㎾ on an OEM basis to machine tool builders. However, FANUC has been requested to produce laser oscillators that allow more compact and lower-cost laser machines to be built. To meet such demands, FANUC has developed six models of Slab type YAG laser oscillators with output power ranging from 150W to 2㎾. These oscillators are designed mainly fur cutting and welding sheet metals. The oscillator has an exceptionally superior laser beam quality compared to conventional YAG laser oscillators, thus providing significantly improved machining capability. In addition, the laser beam of the oscillator can be efficiently transmitted through quartz optical fibers, enabling laser machines to be simplified and made more compact. This paper introduces the features of FANUC’s developed Slab type YAG laser oscillators and their applications. - Part II - All-solid-state lasers employing laser diodes (LD) as a source of pumping solid-state laser feature high efficiency, compactness, and high reliability. Thus, they are expected to provide a new generation of processing tools in various fields, especially in automobile and aircraft industries where great hopes are being placed on laser welding technology for steel plates and aluminum materials for which a significant growth in demand is expected. Also, in power plants, it is hoped that reliability and safety will be improved by using the laser welding technology. As in the above, the advent of high-power all-solid-state lasers may not only bring a great technological innovation to existing industry, but also create new industry. This is the background for this project, which has set its sights on the development of high-power, all-solid-state lasers with an average output of over 10㎾, an oscillation efficiency of over 20%, and a laser head volume of below 0.05㎥. FANUC Ltd. is responsible for the research and development of slab type lasers, and TOSHIBA Corp. far rod type lasers. By pumping slab type Nd: YAG crystal and by using quasi-continuous wave (QCW) type LD stacks, FANUC has already obtained an average output power of 1.7㎾, an optical conversion efficiency of 42%, and an electro-optical conversion efficiency of 16%. These conversion efficiencies are the best results the world has ever seen in the field of high-power all-solid-state lasers. TOSHIBA Corp. has also obtained an output power of 1.2㎾, an optical conversion efficiency of 30％, and an electro-optical conversion efficiency of 12%, by pumping the rod type Nd: YAG crystal by continuous wave (CW) type LD stacks. The laser power achieved by TOSHIBA Corp. is also a new world record in the field of rod type all-solid-state lasers. This report provides details of the above results and some information on future development plans.

A new scheme for bi-directional HDTV/Gigabit Ethernet/CATV transmission over a hybrid dense-wavelength-division-multiplexing passive optical network (DWDM-PON) is proposed and demonstrated. It is based on injection-locked vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers and distributed-feedback laser diodes as transmitters. Services with 129 HDTV channels, a 1.25 Gbps Gigabit Ethernet connection, and 77 CATV channels are successfully demonstrated over 40 km single-mode fiber links. Good performance of bit error rate, carrier-to-noise ratio, composite second order, and composite triple beat is achieved in our proposed bidirectional DWDM-PON.

In this paper, we design to generate 12.5 GHz spaced 256 number of multi-carrier generation module using 32 laser diodes. We modulate the generated multi-carrier generation module by 12.4 Gbps, and confirm the performance of optical channels passing through recirculating loop up to 1000km distance. An experimental result shows that the carrier away from the laser diode is significantly influence by noise effect.

Shortening the lasing wavelength(particularly below infrared ; the visible region) of laser diodes is very attractive because it can provide a wide range of applications in the fields of optical information, measurement, sensor, the development of medical instrument, and optical communication through plastic fibers. According to the recent researches on the field, InGaAsP/GaAs was suggested as a material for red-light laser. In this study, in order to grow InGaAsP/GaAs epitaxial layer on InGaAsP/GaAs by LPE, we used GaP and InP two phase solution technique for 670nm and 780 nm region, respectively. Through the X-ray diffraction measurement for the epitaxial layer grown from the experiments, we found that the lattice mismatch of $In_{0.46}Ga_{0.54}As_{0.07}P_{0.93}$/GaAs and $In_{0.19}Ga_{0.81}As_{0.62}P_{0.38}$/GaAs was about +0.3% and +0.1%, respectively.
