An electro-optical single modulator is fabricated in X-cut LiNbO$_3$by the annealed proton exchange and self-aligned method. First, the effect of annealing is characterized by examining single optical modulator. It is found that by controlling the annealing time, the single optical modulator can be made widely variable. The on-off state of modulator is performed by annealing process and self-aligned electrodes are used in fabricating the single modulator. The optical single modulator has very good figures of merits : the measured on-off switching voltage of about 2.7V.

We designed and fabricated a travelingwave CPW(coplanar waveguide) electrode for LiNbO$_3$ optical modulator. To Investigate the variation of microwave refractive index of these electrodes, we prepared the CPW electrode samples as a function of electrode thickness and measured the TDR and S-parameter. From this results, we could know the electrode conditions of index matching to 2.20 for 1550nm optical wave index for applying LiNbO$_3$ optical modulator and described. Also, we discussed the some properties of CPW electrode for applying LiNbO$_3$ optical modulator.

본 논문에서는 자기 전광 효과를 이용하여 광쌍안정을 갖는 새로운 형태의 도파로형 광변조기의 동작 특성에 관하여 논하였다. 제작된 소자는 전계의 세기에 따른 굴절률의 변화를 이용하는 위상 변조형 광변조기와 전기적 쌍안정성을 갖는 수광 소자가 병렬로 연결된 구조로 되어 있다. 광도파로층과 수광 소자의 흡수층은 GaAs/AlGaAs 다중 양자 우물층을 사용하였다. 수광 소자에 흡수되는 광의 세기에 따라 변하는 다이오드 전압은 도파로형 광변조기를 통과하는 광의 세기를 조절하며 SEED의 전기적 쌍안정을 이용하여 도파로형 광변조기의 광쌍안정을 얻을 수 있었다. 본 논문에서 제안된 광변조기는 기존의 도파로형 광변조기에 비해 낮은 입력광에서도 광안쌍정을 갖는 장점을 갖는다.

An external optical modulation using absorption s in a Fabry-Perot laser diode (FP-LD), has been proposed and experimentally demonstrated for multicasting in a WDM-PON. The center wavelengths of absorption s in an FP-LD move to short-wavelength rapidly by only a small current (~1 mA) injection. If the current injection is stopped, the s move back to the original position. Such a movement of the s can make the FP-LD act as an external optical modulator, which is found to modulate at a maximum modulation speed of 800 Mbps or more. For a multicasting transmitter in a WDM-PON, the proposed modulator can be cost-effectively applied to a multi-wavelength laser source with the same periodicity of the longitudinal mode. Instead of the multi-wavelength laser source, tunable-LDs are used for experiments. The 32 channel multicasting system with the proposed modulator has been demonstrated, showing power penalties of 1.53~4.15 dB at a bit error rate of $10^{-9}$ with extinction ratios better than 14.5 dB at 622 Mbps.

마크-젠더 변조기와 광 필터를 사용하여 광 듀오바이너리 신호를 생성하는 광 듀오바이너리 송신기의 분산 내성을 이론적으로 분석하였다. 송신기의 전송 성능은 마크-젠더 변조기와 광 간섭계를 사용하고 구동 전압 조정으로 최적화하여 분산 내성을 향상 시킨 광 듀오바이너리 송신기와 비교하였다. 그 결과 광 필터를 사용한 광 듀오바이너리 송신기는 좁은 스펙트럼 대역폭을 유지하면서 광 간섭계를 사용한 광 듀오바이너리 송신기보다 개선된 수신 감도와 더 높은 분산 내성을 나타냈다.

We present a 25-Gb/s optical transmitter composed of a Si ring modulator and CMOS driver circuit. The Si ring modulator is realized with 220-nm Si-on-insulator process and the driver circuit with 65-nm CMOS process. The modulator and the driver are hybrid-integrated on the printed circuit board with bonding wires. The driver is designed so that the parasitic bonding wire inductance provides enhanced driver bandwidth. The transmitter successfully demonstrates 25-Gb/s operation.

We demonstrated experimentally a variable optical frequency comb source using a cascaded dual parallel Mach Zehnder modulator (DPMZM) and a phase modulator (PM). With this simple configuration and applying low drive voltages, we generated variable comb source composed of spectral lines 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 with 10-GHz frequency spacing, also generated 2 and 3 spectral lines with 20 GHz frequency spacing. The generated comb source maintains high spectral coherence across the entire bandwidth with good spectral flatness (within 1-dB for 2, 3, 5, 7 comb lines, within 2-dB for 9-comb lines and within 3-dB for 11 comb lines). The flat and variable comb source is mainly achieved by manipulating 6 operating parameters of DPMZM, setting RF amplifier gain, connected at phase modulator and phase shifters. Hence the method is simple and offers great flexibility in achieving flat and variable comb spectrum, which is experimentally demonstrated. This brings advantages of power efficiency due to low driving voltages, simplicity and cost effectiveness to the system.

We investigate the efficiency of an optical intensity modulator based on an electrically tunable $LiNbO_3$ reflection grating. Assuming a grating coupling coefficient and the waveguide propagation loss, waveguide length is varied to find its effect on the modulator slope efficiency and the device capacitance. With the low propagation loss of the $LiNbO_3$ waveguide, a very efficient optical intensity modulator can be achieved for a low frequency (${\sim}1GHz$) as long as the requirement for the grating coupling coefficient is satisfied.
