In this paper, metal insulator metal (MIM) plasmonic slot cavity narrow band-pass filters (NBPFs) are studied. The metal and dielectric of the structures are silver (Ag) and air, respectively. To improve the quality factor and attenuation range, two novel NBPFs based on tapered structures and double cavity systems are proposed and numerically analyzed by using the two-dimensional (2-D) finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. The impact of different parameters on the transmission spectrum is scrutinized. We have shown that increasing the cavities' lengths increases the resonance wavelength in a linear relationship, and also increases the quality factor, and simultaneously the attenuation of the wave transmitted through the cavities. Furthermore, increasing the slope of tapers of the input and output waveguides decreases attenuation of the wave transmitted through the waveguide, but simultaneously decreases the quality factor, hence there should be a trade-off between loss and quality factor. However, the idea of adding tapers to the waveguides' discontinuities of the simple structure helps us to improve the device total performance, such as quality factor for the single cavity and attenuation range for the double cavity. According to the proposed NBPFs, two, three, and four-port power splitters functioning at 1320 nm and novel ultra-compact two-wavelength and triple-wavelength demultiplexers in the range of 1300-1550 nm are proposed and the impacts of different parameters on their performances are numerically investigated. The idea of using tapered waveguides at the structure discontinuities facilitates the design of ultra-compact demultiplexers and splitters.

The theoretical analysis and optimization of extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer (EFPI) opticalfiber humidity sensors are deeply investigated. For a typical dual-cavity structure composed of an optical fiber and a humidity-sensitive membrane (HSM), the changes in refractive index (RI) and initial length are discussed for polymer materials and porous oxide materials when relative humidity (RH) increases. The typical interference spectrum is simulated at different RH using MATLAB. The spectral change caused by changing HSM RI and initial length are simulated simutineously, showing different influences on humidity response. To deeply investigate the influence on RH sensitivity, the typical response sensitivity curves for different HSM lengths and air-cavity lengths are simulated. The results show that the HSM is the vital factor. Short HSM length can improve the sensitivity, but for HSM RI and length the influences on sensitivity are opposite, because of the opposite spectral-shift trend. Deep discussion and an optimization method are provided to solve this problem. According to analysis, an opaque HSM is helpful to improve sensitivity. Furthermore, if using an opaque HSM, a short air cavity and long HSM length can improve the sensor's sensitivity These results provide deep understanding and some ideas for designing and optimizing highly sensitive EFPI fiber humidity sensors.

단원자를 이용한 Cavity-QED 실험등을 위해서는 고분해능 분광학이 필요하다. 레이저 주파수 안정화는 고분해능 분광학을 위한 필수적인 선결 과제이다. 본 연구에서는 다이오드 레이저를 대상으로 전류되먹임 방법에 의해 주파수 안정화를 하였다. 오차 신호를 얻기 위해 공진기를 사용하였는데 공진기는 원자 전이선을 이용한 경우보다 더 높은 신호 대 잡음비를 얻을 수 있다. 일단 공진기에 안정화된 레이저는 주파수 특성을 그대로 유지한 채 AOM이나 EOM 등을 이용하여 필요한 원자 전이선으로 주파수 이동시켜 고분해능 분광에 활용할 수 있다.

미량기체의 흡수스펙트럼을 높은 감도로 측정하는 공동 광자감쇠 분광법(cavity ringdown spectroscopy； CRDS)을 나노초 레이저 펄스의 차주파수 생성(difference-frequency generation； DFG)을 광원으로 이용하여 파장 3 ~ 4 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 영역에서 구현하였다. CRDS는 고반사율 거울로 이루어진 광학적 공동에 단일 파장의 빛을 가두었다가 그 에너지의 시간적 감소율을 측정하여 공동 속 기체의 흡수율을 알아내는 방법이다. (중략)

We measured the linewidth (FWHM) changes of the PQR laser against the diameter of the devices and the injection currents. We report the linewidth narrowing with increasing the PQR currents. A rough estimate of the line width behavior shows an inverse proportionality to the cavity length. The spectrum of $\frac{3}{4}$ circle cavity PQR laser is reported for the first time as well. The spectrum looks slightly different from that of the full circle device due to the structural distortion.
