It is shown that even if the modulating frequency of the light is too high for direct detection the signal can be extracted by frequency conversion at the same time as the detection by means of the nonlinearity of the APD. When this frequency conversion detection is applied to an optical receiver, the detection bandwidth can be increased while the configuration of the optical detection circuit and the signal processing in the subsequent stages are simplified. A fundamental analysis is carried out with an APD which is confirmed experimentally.

본 논문에서는 백색광 간섭현상 (white light interferometry)을 위한 신호처리 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘으로 간섭기의 광경로 절대길이 (absolute optical path length)를 정확하게 측정할 수 있다. 그리고 제안하는 알고리즘은 간섭 무늬 (fringe scan)의 상호 상관관계 함수 (cross-correlation function)와 가설 검증을 사용한다. 가설 검증은 간섭 무늬의 상호 상관관계 함수가 대칭이 되는 봉우리를 영차 간섭 봉우리 (zero order fringe peak) 후보자로 선정함으로써 영차 간섭 봉우리를 오판할 확률을 줄인다. 산탄잡음(shot noise)이 제안된 알고리즘의 성능에 미치는 영향을 컴퓨터 모의 실험을 통하여 조사하였다. 모의 실험결과와 보외법 (extrapolation)을 사용하여 신호대산탄잡음비 (signal-to-shot noise ratio)가 31 dB 보다 클 때의 알고리즘의 성능을 예측하였다. 간섭 봉우리의 세 가지 매개변수 변화 (신호대산탄잡음비, 간섭 스캔 샘플링율 광원의 가간섭성 길이)에 따른 영차 간섭 봉우리 추정 오차를 계산하였다. 모의 실험 결과를 통하여 제안한 알고리즘이 영차 간섭 무늬 봉우리를 정확하게 판별할 수 있음을 보여주었다. 제안하는 신호처리 알고리즘은 소프트웨어적인 기법으로서 경제적이고 속도가 빠르며 간단한 알고리즘이다.

We present qualitative and quantitative component analyses on compound explosives via Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) based on a combination of wavelet thresholding and wavelength selection. Despite its importance, the field of signal processing of THz signals of compound plastic explosives is relatively unexplored. In this paper, experiment results from explosives Composition B-3 and Pentolite are newly presented, suggesting a novel signal processing procedure for in situ compound explosives detection. The proposed signal processing method demonstrates effective component analysis even in noisy and humid environments, showing significant decrease in component concentration percentage error of approximately 22.7% for Composition B-3 and 48.8% for Pentolite.

Underwater images carry information that is useful in the fields of aquaculture, underwater military security, navigation, transportation, and so on. In this research, we transmitted an underwater image through various underwater mediums in the presence of underwater turbulence and beam attenuation effects using a high-speed visible optical carrier signal. The optical beam undergoes scintillation because of the turbulence and attenuation effects; therefore, distorted images were observed at the receiver end. To understand the behavior of the communication media, we obtained the bit error rate (BER) performance of the system with respect to the average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Also, the structural similarity index (SSI) and peak SNR (PSNR) metrics of the received image were evaluated. Based on the received images, we employed suitable nonlinear filters to recover the distorted images and enhance them further. The BER, SSI, and PSNR metrics of the specific nonlinear filters were also evaluated and compared with the unfiltered metrics. These metrics were evaluated using the on-off keying and binary phase-shift keying modulation techniques for the 50-m and 100-m links for beam attenuation resulting from pure seawater, clear ocean water, and coastal ocean water mediums.

A development of in-process and reliable monitoring system in laser materials processing is essential for successful applications toward the real industrial fields. It was known that optical signals induced by laser-matter interactions provide a good indication not only to monitor various defects but also to characterize and identify the process However there are still difficulties to implement the optical monitoring system in real fields since the system is susceptible to the spurious change of the signal affected by the variation of experimental conditions and environmental noises. In this article. a new type of optical monitoring technique named 'chromatic modulation technique' is described as a reliable, robust and sensitive monitor for the applications in laser materials processing in order to tackle the conventional problems in optical system.

Third order correlation funciton is to be advantageous to detect unique features embedded in various random signals that are undetectable with second order correlation or power spectrum. In this paper, we will introduce optical modulator which consists of a laser light source, 2-dimensional ultrasonic diffractor cell with signal controlling circuitry, and a CCD camera connected to personal computer for image processing. With this modulator, the third order correlaiton pattern of signal can be immediately obtained at the camera due to parallel nature of optical computing.

We address the problem of Blind Source Separation(BSS) of superimposed signals in situations where one signal has constant or slowly varying intensities at some consecutive locations and at the corresponding locations the other signal has highly varying intensities. Independent Component Analysis(ICA) is a major technique for Blind Source Separation and the existing ICA algorithms fail to estimate the original intensities in the stated situation. We combine the advantages of existing sparse methods and Kernel ICA in our technique, by proposing wavelet packet based sparse decomposition of signals prior to the application of Kernel ICA. Simulations and experimental results illustrate the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed approach. The approach is general in the way that it can be tailored and applied to a wide range of BSS problems concerning one-dimensional signals and images(two-dimensional signals).

In this paper, a 12.5-Gb/s optical transmitter is implemented using 0.13-${\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The optical transmitter that we constructed compensates temperature effects of VCSEL (Vertical cavity surface emitting laser) using auto-power control (APC) and auto-modulation control (AMC). An external monitoring photodiode (MPD) detects optical power and modulation. The proposed APC and AMC demonstrate 5$\sim$20-mA of bias-current control and 5$\sim$20-mA of modulation-current control, respectively. To enhance the bandwidth of the optical transmitter, an active feedback amplifier with negative capacitance compensation is exploited. The whole chip consumes only 140.4-mW of DC power at a single 1.8-V supply under the maximum modulation and bias currents, and occupies the area of 1280-${\mu}m$ by 330-${\mu}m$ excluding bonding pads.

디지탈 신호처리기술 및 종래의 아날로그 신호처리기술로는 저주파수의 신호를 처리하는데는 아주 효과적이지만, 주파수 대역폭이 GHz단위일 경우에는 많은 손실이 있기 때문에 지연매체로서 광파이버가 많이 사용된다. 광파이버는 저손실 그리고 극히 작은 지연도 정확하게 얻을 수 있기 때문에 채널분리 필터 등과 같은 고주파, 광대역신호의 고속처리 특히 수십GHz 단위의 채널을 광FDM다중화하는 분야등에 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 광파이버를 이용한 지연소자와 방향성결합기(directional coupler)를 구성 단위로 하고 코히런트 광원을 이용한 격자형 광파이버필터에 대하여 논한다. 코히런트 광원을 이용한 광파이태 필터는, 기본 구성요소인 방향성결합기의 특성 때문에 1)입력신호는 광강도에 의해 처리되기 때문에 방향성결합기의 결합계 수(=a)는 0과 1 사이의 값만 취할 수 있다. 2)광신호의 전계강도를 E라 했을때 그 분기점에서 신호광은 Jae와 J1-ae로 분배된다. 본 논문에서는 방향성 결합기의 제약조건을 고려하고, 간단한 구성 및 설계를 위하여 가산소자와 분기소자가 동일한 결합계수를 가지는 격자형 광파이버필터플 제안하였다. 설계방침으로는 주어진 전달함수에 대해 광신호의 Energy를 최대한 유효하게 사용하는 설계법으로 그때의 설계공식 및 실험조건등을 유도하였다.
