단일 모드 반도체 레이저(DFB 레이저)를 5 GHz의 반복율로 이득 스위칭하여 얻은 광 펄스를 압축하여 변환 제한된 초단 광 펄스를 생성하였다. 이득 스위칭된 광 펄스의 최소 폭은 27 psec 이고 스펙트럼 폭은 1.1 nm로 펄스에 많은 선형 처핑과 비선형 처핑이 존재한다. 이를 대역폭이 펄스의 스펙트럼 폭보다 좁은 0.55 nm의 광 필터에 통과시켜 비선형 처핑을 제거하고 분산 보상 광섬유로 압축하여 7.1 psec의 광 펄스를 얻었다. 이때 펄스의 시간-대역폭 곱은 0.49로 변환 제한된 가우시안 펄스이다. 이러한 변환 제한된 광 펄스는 40 Gbit/s 광 시분할 다중화 방식 광통신용 광원으로 사용할 수 있다.

We demonstrate a frequency-resolved optical grating (FROG) device for measuring the intensity and phase versus time of several-tens-of-picoseconds laser pulses, using a thick nonlinear optical crystal. The huge pulse-front tilt generated by a holographic grating increases the temporal range of the device, which can make a single-shot measurement of laser pulses less than 100 ps in duration. To verify the measurement technique, we generate double pulses using a Michelson interferometer. The measured duration of a single pulse is about 300 fs and the measured maximum delay of two pulses is 60 ps, which implies that the proposed FROG device can measure laser pulses with maximum pulse width of about 120 ps.

We present cross-correlation frequency-resolved optical gating (XFROG) measurements of supercontinuum pulses generated by using a photonic crystal fiber (PCF), and ultraviolet (UV) pulses generated by frequency doubling of infrared ultra-short pulses. Since supercontinuum pulses have broad spectra, XFROG measurement typically requires using an extremely thin nonlinear crystal which has a thickness of sub-ten microns. Instead of using such a thin crystal, we employed a relatively thick crystal which was mounted on a galvanometer in order to achieve a phase-matching over the whole spectral bandwidth of the supercontinuum pulses by a crystal-dithering technique. Experimental results of the retrieved phase and intensity were in fair agreement with the independently measured data.

When femtosecond laser pulses are focused inside the bulk of transparent materials, the intensity in the focal volume becomes high enough to produce permanent structural modifications. This technique has been applied to fabricate three-dimensional photonic structures such as optical memory, waveguides, gratings, and couplers inside a wide variety of transparent materials. In this paper, we review the fabrication of optical elements in glasses with femtosecond laser pulses, including the fabrication of waveguides, couplers, Bragg gratings, zone plates, holographic memory, and micro holes.

희토류 첨가 광섬유를 이용하여 새로운 형태의 모우드록킹된 광섬유 레이저 자이로스코프를 구현하였다. 이 자이로스코프로부터 짧은 광 펄스의 형태로 출력이 나오며, 자이로스코프가 정지해 있는 경우에는 시간축상에서 펄스들의 간격이 일정하나, 회전을 하면 펄스들의 간격이 변하였다. 이 펄스들의 간격을 시간축 상에서 측정하여 회전률을 알 수 있었다. 또한 편광효과에 의한 오차신호를 분석하였고, 이의 효과를 제거하기 위하여 편광기가 도입되어야 함을 알았다.

Using tightly focused femtosecond laser pulses, we produce an optical waveguide and optical devices in transparent materials. This technique has the potential to generate not only channel waveguides, but also three-dimensional optical devices. In this paper, an optical splitter and U-grooves, which are used for fiber alignment, are simultaneously fabricated in a fused silica glass using near-IR femtosecond laser pulses. The fiber aligned optical splitter has a low insertion loss, less than 4㏈, including an intrinsic splitting loss of 3㏈ and excess loss due to the passive alignment of a single-mode fiber. Finally, we demonstrate the utility of the femtosecond laser writing technique by fabricating gratings at the surface and inside the silica glass.

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a novel photonic compressive sensing (CS) scheme for acquiring sparse radio frequency signals with adjustable compression ratio in this paper. The sparse signal to be measured and a pseudo-random binary sequence are modulated on consecutively connected chirped pulses. The modulated pulses are compressed into short pulses after propagating through a dispersive element. A programmable optical filter based on spatial light modulator is used to realize spectral segmentation and demultiplexing. After spectral segmentation, the compressed pulses are transformed into several sub-pulses and each of them corresponds to a measurement in CS. The major advantage of the proposed scheme lies in its adjustable compression ratio, which enables the system adaptive to the sparse signals with variable sparsity levels and bandwidths. Experimental demonstration and further simulation results are presented to verify the feasibility and potential of the approach.

We have investigated femtosecond coherent vibrational motions of Zn(II)-5,15-diphenylporphyrin in toluene using chirp-controlled ultrashort pulses. The oscillatory features superimposed on the temporal profiles of the pump-probe transient absorption signal are affected by the chirping and energy of excitation pulses. Using chirp- and excitation energy-controlled femtosecond pulses, we are able to obtain information on the structural changes between the electronic ground and excited states based on a comparative analysis of the Fouriertransformed frequency-domain spectra retrieved from the oscillatory components with the ground state resonance Raman spectra and normal mode calculations.

We generate short optical pulses of ∼ 6 picoseconds at 10 GHz by chirped pulse compression based on phase modulation and chirp compensation. In the suggested method, sinusoidally driven intensity and phase modulators generate chirped pulses which are subsequently suppressed by chirp compensation using a single mode fiber.

정현파로 구동되는 위상변조기로 주파수 첩이 유기된 펄스를 발생시키고, 이 첩이 유기된 펄스를 분산이 있는 광섬유로 압축하는, 첩된 펄스의 압축에 의한 고속의 선천적으로 안정된 변환 제한급 광펄스 발생에 대해 보고한다. 실험결과 ∼14 피코초의 시간 대역곱이 ∼0.34인 Sech2 형태의 펄스를 10 GHz의 반복율로 성공적으로 발생시킬 수 있음을 보였다. 본 접근 방법은 고차 솔리톤 효과를 이용한 펄스 압축과 같은 여타 방법과는 다르게 광전력에 무관하기 때문에, 저 전력 레이저에 아주 유용하게 응용될 수 있다.
