Silica-based $2\times2$ thermo-optic (TO) switch using the MMI couplers which have a large fabrication tolerance of 110 (${\mu}m$ were fabricated and operated. Important features of the proposed switch are shown to be a polarization dependency loss of 0.1dB, an extinction ratio of 32.7dB, and a power consumption of 202.8mW.

With the recent development of the ultrahigh-speed optical time division multiplexed system, high-repetition rate optical-pulse stream generation is necessary. This is different from conventional approaches, which use fiber or integrated waveguide delay line circuits. The high-repetition-rate optical-pulse multiplication phenomenon occurs when the optical pulse's spectral width is greater than the transfer bandwidth of the coupler used. From the analysis, the output repetition rate can be controlled by using fiber couplers with different equivalent transfer bandwidths. The pulse seperation spacing is controlled by number of cascaded coupler in optical loop mirror coupler scheme.

The wavelength demultiplexer is an essential component in optical transmission systems using wavelength-division multiplexing(WDM), which can increase the number of channels and information capacity of optical fibers. For optical telecommunication, much attention has been given to demultiplexing two wavelengths in the 1.3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ of low dispersion band and 1.55${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ of low loss window. Various integrated-optical devices have been proposed to perform this function, including conventional directional couplers, asymmetric Y-branching devices, asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometers and two-mode interference devices.

홀로그래픽 부피격자 커플러(VGC : volume grating coupler)는 높은 선택적 결합효율, 건식 제조공정, 콤팩트한 소자 제작이 가능하고 저렴하기 때문에 광연결 기술의 구현 및 응용에 매우 매력적인 소자로 간주되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 도파로형 광연결에 적용키 위한 $45^{\circ}$ 격자 경사각을 갖는 도파로 삽입형 입 출력 VGC를 DuPont사의 HRF600-20 홀로그래픽 포토폴리머를 이용하여 설계, 구현하기 위한 방법을 제안하였다. 그리고 제안한 VGC 소자의 유용성을 입증키 위해 동작파장이 각각 632.8nm 및 1550nm인 VGC를 제작하고 실험결과를 제시하였다. 실험결과 632.8nm 파장에서 동작하는 격자주기가 $0.5{\mu}m$인 단일 VGC의 경우 TE 편광에서 입력 결합효율은 86.6% 이상이고, 1550nm 파장에서 동작하는 격자주기가 $0.73068{\mu}m$인 $1\times2$ VGC의 입력 결합효율은 $\sim90.9%$의 특성을 나타내었다.

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%.

An integrated optical 2$\times$2 add/drop multiplexer in X-cut, Y-propagating LiNbO$_3$ has been demonstrated. The device consists of passive polarization splitters and acousto-optical mode converters with weighted coupling utilizing tapered acoustical directional couplers; their specific design and properties are discussed. The insertion loss has been measured to be about -8.16 ㏈ and -8.6 ㏈ for TE and TM polarizations, respectively. The device shows a 3 ㏈ bandwidth of 2.3 nm, a tuning rate 8.34 nm/MHz around λ = 1554 nm, and a sidelobe suppression of about 14.5 ㏈. Optimum operation is achieved with a RF drive power of about 43 ㎽. Multi-wavelength operation has been demonstrated.

We demonstrate an acousto-optic mode converter based on a tapered optical fiber to efficiently generate orbital angular momentum states of light. In our scheme an acoustic wave is deployed to the waist of tapered optical fiber where two degenerate $HE_{21}$ modes leading to +1 and -1 orbital angular momentum eigen-modes are resonantly excited. The excitation of $TM_{01}$ and $TE_{01}$ modes is suppressed by enlarging the intermodal index difference between near-degenerate spatial modes. Numerical calculation for optimization of the taper diameter is provided. The experimental characterization of generated states is performed by analyzing the output far-field pattern and the spatial interference fringes with a uniform reference beam.
