We report on the measurements of absorption spectra from acetylene ($^{12}C_2H_2$) and hydrogen cyanide ($H^{13}C^{14}N$) for wavelength reference in the C-band (conventional band) region using a supercontinuum optical source generated from a mode-locked $Cr^{4+}$:YAG laser. The center wavelength of the mode-locked $Cr^{4+}$:YAG laser was 1510 nm and the pulse duration was 75 fs at 100 MHz repetition rate. The supercontinuum source achieved a flatness of ${\pm}5dB$ over a wavelength range of more than 400 nm, using a 20 m long photonic crystal fiber. The measured absorption spectra from acetylene ($^{12}C_2H_2$) and hydrogen cyanide ($H^{13}C^{14}N$) had more than 50 lines and were analyzed for wavelength standardization.

펨토초 모드록 레이저는 공진기의 왕복시간 $\tau$마다 펨토초 폭을 갖는 펄스를 발생시키고, Fourier 변환에 의해 주파수 공간에서는 일정한 주파수 간격 $\Delta$ = 1/$\tau$을 가지는 불연속 스펙트럼, 즉 광빗 스펙트럼을 갖게 된다(1). 광빗의 간격, 즉 펄스의 반복률, 은 $\Delta$ ： v$_{g}$l$_{c}$의 관계식에 의해 그룹속도(v$_{g}$)와 공진기 길이(l$_{c}$)에 의해 결정된다. 광빗의 간격을 고정시키기 위한 가장 일반적인 방법은 공진기 길이를 일정하게 유지하는 것이다. (중략)

We demonstrate a simple method to multiply the repetition rate of an optical pulse train by a fiber Fabry-Parot interferometer (FFPI) spectral filtering. A stable 40 GHz pulse train at 1550 nm is successfully generated by removing unwanted spectral components of a 10 GHz actively mode-locked laser source by passing a high finesse FFPI.

GHz 급의 아주 높은 반복율을 가지면서, 피코초 단위의 펄스 열을 발진시키는 레이저를 만들기 위해 능동형 모드록킹 방법을 이용하였다. 이 방법은 공진기안에 광 변조기를 삽입하고, RF 신호를 가하여 시간적으로 공진기내에서의 손실을 변화시키는 방법이다.$^{(1)}$ 공진기 길이를 충분히 길게 하면서도 고 반복율을 가지는 레이저를 만들기 위해 조화 모드록킹 방법을 사용했는데, 이는 레이저 펄스의 반복율을 공진기 길이에 의한 기본 반복율의 정수배가 되도록 하는 방법이다.$^{(2),(3)}$ 3차 조화 모드록킹 방법을 이용한 Nd:YLF 레이저 시스템을 그림 1에서 나타내었다.

Utilizing self-phase modulation effects of a dispersion-shifted fiber and delayline characteristics of two gratings, mode-locked 80 ps pulses at 1.319 $\mu \textrm m$ wavelength from a Nd:YAG laser are compressed to 2.1 ps. This experiment is suitable for studying the transmission characteristics of high energy short pulses along normal fibers in zero dispersion regime.

Technological feasibility of using recently-available femtosecond ultra short pulse lasers for advanced precision length metrology is investigated with emphasis on absolute distance measurements with $10{\mu}m$ ??resolution over extensive ranges. The idea of using femtosecond lasers for the measurement of absolute distances is based on the fact that a short pulse train is a mode-locked combination of discrete monochromatic light components spanning a wide spectral bandwidth. The synthetic wavelength is created from the repetition frequency, $f_r$ of the femtosecond laser and for more precise resolution, higher-order harmonics of the repetition frequency may be selected as the synthetic wavelength by using appropriate electronic filters.

In this paper, Frequency Domain Mode Locked(FDML) wavelength swept laser with 55.027 kHz sweeping speed and 125 nm sweeping range has realized, and also a new method for recalibrating a nonlinear frequency sweeping of a swept laser has proposed. The Swept Source-Optical Coherence Tomography system using the proposed method has performed. For a mirror surface, the system showed the very clean 2-dimensional image and the advanced image speed of 7 frames per sec compared to the previous recalibration method.

A modeling methodology for the analysis of injection-locked Fabry-Perot laser diodes (FP-LDs), promising for cost-effective WDM-PON sources, is proposed. The time-domain large-signal model that is used is found to provide quite similar results to some experimental ones. With our methodology, we model characteristics of FP-LDs, such as influence of reflectivity at a facet and detuning on injection-locking. The eye diagram characteristics are also investigated. It is observed that the facet reflectivity at the injection side should be lower than 1% to provide stable operation in terms of good side-mode suppression ratio and independence from detuning between narrow-band injection noise and LD modes. It is also observed that good eye opening can be obtained for 155 Mbps modulation while the parameters such as the active region thickness should be properly optimized to obtain reasonable eye opening at 1.25 Gbps.

Picosecond (ps) laser micro-machining has emerged as an attractive method of fabricating high-precision microstructures, especially in metals. In this paper, a metallic mold for diffraction gratings is fabricated with a mode-locked 12 Ps $Nd:YVO_4$ laser. Laser pulses with a wavelength of 355nm are irradiated on the surface of NOK 80, a mold material, to generate line patterns. In order to minimize the line width, laser power is set just above the ablation threshold of NOK 80. Results show that the spectrum from the fabricated mold is good enough for some industrial application.
