A flexible and tunable microwave photonic filter based on adjustable optical frequency comb source is demonstrated. We use a combination of a dual parallel Mach Zehnder modulator and an intensity modulator to generate fifteen comb lines with proper weights to implement a desired filter. The optical comb weights, corresponding to the tap coefficients of the filter, are flexibly changed by adjusting the operation parameters of the modulators. The achieved bandwidth and stopband attenuation of the tunable filter are 0.7 GHz and 20 dB, respectively. In addition, we overcome the undesired low frequency suppression appeared in a conventional scheme by applying a dual parallel Mach Zehnder modulator for single sideband suppressed carrier modulation.

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 1150 nm optical wave index for applying LiNbO$_3$ optical modulator. Also we discussed the some properties of CPW electrode for applying LiNbO$_3$ optical modulator.

The impact of equivalent optical bandwidth on the performance of a system using a reflective electroabsorption modulator (R-EAM) based optical source has been experimentally evaluated with signals operating at 2.5 Gb/s and beyond. The equivalent optical bandwidth of our source with a broadband seed light was simply adjusted by using a bandwidth tunable optical filter. From the measurements, we have estimated the required equivalent optical bandwidth of our source for an error-free transmission (@ bit-error-rate of $10^{-12}$) and a forward error correction (FEC) threshold of $2{\times}10^{-4}$.

A traveling-wave CPW(coplanar waveguide) electrode with abruptly broken input/output-taper for LiNbO$_3$optical modulator was designed and fabricated. The electrical characteristics of traveling-wave electrode on z-cut LiNbO$_3$crystal with SiO$_2$buffer layers were measured by network analyzer. To confirm the possibility of the electro-optic modulator electrode, detailed calculations of the impedance, microwave effective index and attenuation constants are presented as a function of the microwave electrode thickness, but the buffer layer thickness is fixed as 1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. These characteristics are discussed from the viewpoint of the device optimization and are expected to be design guides for the LiNbO$_3$modulator’s electrodes.

In this paper, it is analyzed the statistical characteristics on the transmission performance of the optical SCM transmission in the CDMA RF signal relay system. Using Mach-Zehnder modulator, optical signal is regenerated into CDMA RF signal. Transfer function model of mach-Zehnder modulator is approximated to the third power of the input signal using Taylor series. BER results are analyzed under the multiple access interference and multi-path fading environment.

재현성 있는 H:LiNbO\sub 3\ 광변조기의 제작을 위해 기존 광변조기에서 사용되는 Au/Cr/SiO\sub 2\ 전극구조 대신 상온에서 버퍼층 및 전극공정이 가능하고, 광대역 설계에도 유리하도록 새로운 Cu/parylene 전극구조를 사용한 광변조기의 설계 및 제작을 수행하였다. 이를 위해 유한요소법을 이용한 광변조기의 해석 및 설계, 소자제작을 위한 저손실 1550m H:LiNbO\sub 3\ 광도파로 공정, parylene 박막증착 및 CPW 전극형성 등의 단위 공정들을 확립하였다. 이러한 소자설계 기술 및 단위공정들의 결합을 통해 parylene 버퍼층구조 H:LiNbO\sub 3\ 광변조기 내부칩을 제작하였고, 저주파 구동특성 측정시스템을 통해 변조특성을 확인하였다. 특히 Cu/parylene 전극공정 전·후의 광도파로 특성이 일정하게 유지됨으로서 재현성 있는 소자제작이 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

LD(laser diode)나 광변조기를 이용하는 광송신단에 존재하는 비선형 변조 특성은 SCM 시스템과 같은 아날로그 광통신 시스템의 성능을 심각하게 제한한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 전기적 전치왜곡기를 이용하여 LD와 광변조기의 비선형 특성을 보상하였다. LD의 직접변조 방식에서는 877.5 MHz와 882.5 MHz의 두 신호를 이용하여 비선형 왜곡보상 실험을 하였으며, 3차혼변조 신호의 크기를 19 dB 개선하였다. 그리고 광변조기의 경우는 1.8975 GHz와 1.9025 GHz의 두 신호를 이용하여 21 dB의 3차 혼변조 신호를 개선하였다. 또한 LD와 광변조기의 동적 동작영역을 각각 5 dB/Hz/sup ⅔/와 7 dB/Hz/sup ⅔/ 개선하였다.

In this paper, an optical switch/modulator is designed and its light propagating characteristics analyzed using a simplified BPM. The distinctive feature of this switch/modulator is that all its waveguide branches are designed as single-mode. The principle of the device is based on the coupled mode theory in the Y-junction interconnecting waveguide. In spite of the fact all waveguides are designed as single-mode, by adjusting the interconnecting waveguide length'of the device the same characteristics as existing up to date devices are obtainable. Numerical results show that the switching characteristics periodically depend upon an interconnecting waveguide length with a spatial of about $150^{{\mu}m}$ in the $Ti:LiNbO_3$ step index waveguide. The design concept would therefore be utilized effectively in fabricating a monolithic high density optical integrated circuit.

This paper proposes a frequency-doubling optoelectronic oscillator employing a novel three-arm dual-output Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM). One output of the MZM generates the fundamental-frequency signal which is recycled by the microwave optical fiber link for oscillation, and the other output can generate the frequency-doubled signal. Experiment was conducted using a commercial two-arm MZM, a phase modulator, and an optical fiber link of 89 meters in length. A 19-GHz frequency-doubled signal was successively obtained with fundamental signal suppression more than 36 dB.
