  • In this paper, we investigated the optical coupling characteristics for $K^{+}$ ion-exchanged diffused channel waveguide by using coupled-mode equations. In this case, the optical-power-dividing was observed at the waveguide-type optical coupler with 3[$\mu\textrm{m}$] line-width and, 6[$\mu\textrm{m}$] separation between channel waveguides in which interaction lengths were 1 and 3[mm], respectively, On the basis of that we deformed simulation for $Ag^{+}$ ion-exchanged diffused channel waveguide. As a result of simulation, the optical-power-dividing was shown at the waveguide-type optical coupler wish 3[$\mu\textrm{m}$] line-width, 6[$\mu\textrm{m}$] separation between channel waveguides and 0.11[mm] interaction length.

  • It is well know that optical oupler that is composed of the polished single-mode optical fiber can separate two arbitrary wave lengths. Wavelength division ranges of the WDM optical coupler that is made of the bending fiber with radius R vary with the center wavelength of the signal and spacing between two cores. In this paper, when optical fiber is fixed with the radius R, We proposed the spacing between two cores that can provide minimum division range. Also, We proposed the minimum radius R necessary to separate two arbitary wavelengths of the signal.

  • 최근 광섬유의 전송 용량을 효율적으로 극대화하기 위한 방안으로서 파장 분할 다중화 (WDM: Wavelength Division Multiplexing) 방식의 광통신 시스템이 제안되어 사용되고 있다. WDM 시스템에서는 각 채널 (channel) 마다 각기 다른 파장의 광신호가 할당되어 있기 때문에, 여러 파장이 다중화된 광신호에서 원하는 파장의 광신호를 선택하기 위해서는 파장 선택 필터 (wavelength selective filter) 가 필요하다. 격자 보조 동방향 결합기 (GACC: Grating-Assisted Codirectional Coupler) 는 전파 상수(propagation constant) 가 서로 다른 두 도파로 사이에서의 광파워 교환이 파장에 의존하는 특성을 가지고 있기 때문에 WDM 시스템에 응용될 파장 선택 필터로서 많은 연구가 되어 왔다$^{(1),(2)}$ .

  • In this paper, a novel platform for chemical sensing and biosensing is presented. The working principle is based on the coupling efficiency and interference properties of optical directional coupler (DC) and multimode interference coupler (MMIC). It has been realized using planar technology to allow integration on a silicon substrate. Firstly, the dispersion curves of DC and MMIC is described, and the design specification of an optimized slot optical waveguide to increase waveguide sensitivity is selected. Next, the sensor response to the refractive index change of sensing analyte is numerically simulated. The numerical results reveal that high effective index change per refractive index unit (RIU) change of analyte is obtained, and the sensitivity can be tuned using the DC and MMIC design technique.

  • A surface-normal input/output volume holographic grating coupler (VHGC) operating at 1550nm wavelength region by using a $10{\mu}m$-thick DuPont photopolymer film is designed and fabricated. The angular and wavelength responses of the input/output VHGC are investigated in order to validate applicability of this device in integrated optics and optical communications. The effect of incident-beam position on the output reflectance to determine optimum condition for input coupling is also presented. The fabricated input/output VHGC exhibited an angular selectivity of ${\sim}0.027^{\circ}$, a wavelength selectivity of ~0.8 nm, and an output peak reflectance of 34.13%.
