Influence of the grating half-period fluctuation on the normalized coupling coefficient has been studied by an effective index transfer matrix method in quarter wavelength shifted(QWS) DFB lasers. The laser facets are assumed to be perfectly antireflection coated, and the period fluctuation is modeled by two correlated Gaussian random variables. In the presence of the random fluctuation in the grating period, effective normalized coupling coefficient is reduced because the in-phase feedback strength Is weakened. We have shown that the normalized coupling coefficient determined from the side mode spacing is less than the effective coupling coefficient, and the normalized coupling coefficient determined from the mode spacing or spontaneous emission spectrum does not properly represent the feedback strength of the grating.

Biophotonic sensors based on polymer waveguide with Bragg reflection grating are demonstrated in this work. Waveguide Bragg reflectors were designed by using the effective index method and the transmission matrix method. The grating pattern was formed by exposing the laser interference pattern on a photoresist. On top of the inverted rib waveguide, the Bragg reflection grating was inscribed by the O2 plasma etching. In order to perform the bio-molecule detection experiment, a calixarene molecule was self-assembled on top of thin Au film deposited on the waveguide Bragg reflector. To measure the response of the sensor, several PBS solutions with different concentrations of potassium ion from 1 pM to $100\;{\mu}M$ were dropped on the sensor surface. The shift of Bragg reflection wavelength was observed from the fabricated sensor device, which was proportional to the concentration of potassium ion ranging from 1 pM to 108 pM.

Low temperature plasma diagnosis is one of the big issues in laboratory scale or processing industry. One of the most powerful techniques of plasma diagnostics is the use of the scattering of electromagnetic radiation from the plasma. Electron temperature and density are important parameters for understanding the information of plasmas in the plasma processing industry. Laser scattering experiments on plasma can provide a substantial amount of information about plasma parameters such as the electron density ne, the electron temperature Te, and the neutral density nn and temperature Tn. Thomson scattering spectroscopy is used several method, in accordance with detector type. Commonly, Thomson scattering is used several notch filter to separate expanded wavelength. Since using a spectrometer with surface relief grating or notch filter, the system of the measurement will be complicated and bigger. In this study, using VPHG (Volume Phase Holographic Grating) in order to install the simple and cheap system. VPHG has the advantage of the system installation, because it can be Transmission Type. The diffraction efficiency and dispersion angle of VPHG is higher than the surface relief grating relatively. For a wavelength and bandwidth selection, Using a slit or mask to select a rejection wavelength instead of notch filter.

In this study, the polarization e(fecal and the birefringence effect of amorphous germanium (a-Ge) thin films were investigated by using linearly polarized He-Ne laser beam. The a-7e thin films were deposited on the quarts substrate by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) and thermal vacuum evaporation In order to obtain the optimum grating arrays, inorganci resists such as Si$_3$N$_4$ and a-Se$_{75}$ Ge$_{25}$ , were prepared with the optimized thickness by Monte Carlo (MC) simulation. As the results of MC simulation, the thickness ofa-Se$_{75}$ Ge$_{25}$ resist was determined with Z$_{min}$ of 360$\AA$ . The resists were exposed to Ga$^{+}$-FIB with accelerating energies of 50 keV, developed by wet etching, and a-Ge thin film was etched by reactive ion-etching (RIE). Finally, we were obtained grating arrays which grating width and linewidth are 0.8${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, respectively and we studied the polarization and birefringence effect in transmission grating array made of high refractive amorphous material, and the applicability as waveplates and polarizers in optical device.e.e.

We demonstrate a beat frequency-Switchable dual-mode external cavity laser hybrid integrated on planar lightwave circuit with an FP-LD and a sampled grating as external reflector. The dual-mode external avity laser was able to switch its beat frequency from 132GHz to 406GHz by changing LD current from 50mA to 55mA.

PMFBG sensor was fabricated using phase mask and Excimer laser. The reflected wavelength of PMFBG sensor had dual peaks due to intrinsic birefringence. To discover the polarization axes, peak sensitivity was measured under compression test. The signal characteristics of PMFBG sensor were also examined in embedding condition. The embedded PMFBG sensor in epoxy block was loaded for the transverse strain measurements. Experiments showed that the PMFBG sensor could successfully measure the transverse strain. This PMFBG sensor is useful for the structures that require measuring transverse stram.

We have built a grating-based, high-resolution, spectral line-by-line pulse shaper. By controlling individual spectral lines of a mode-locked laser output, we demonstrate the interesting functionalities of the pulse shaper for arbitrary waveform generation, such as width tunable pulse generation, phase controlled waveform generation, microwave waveform generation, etc.

Utilizing self-phase modulation effects of a dispersion-shifted fiber and delay-line characteristics of two gratings, mode-locked 80 ps pulses at 1.319${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ wavelength from a Nd: YAG laser are compressed down to 2.1 ps. These pulses are further compressed down to 340 fs using higher order soliton effects in a common single mode fiber.
