We propose a new structure of optical cross connect based on a WDM MUX/DEMUX pair and switchable mirrors. In experiment, we demonstrate the operation of the optical cross connect using an optical fiber loop mirror connected to a $2\times2$ optical switch as a switchable mirror.mirror.

Optical packet switching is a promising technology, which can integrate both data and optical network. In this paper, we present a comparative study of various traffic arrival approaches in WDM packet switches. The comparison is made based on packet loss rate and average delay under uniform and self-similar Pareto traffic. Computer simulations are performed in order to obtain the switch performance metrics. Study shows that burstiness of data traffic has a strong negative impact in the performance of WDM packet switches.

This paper presents metal structure that is fabricated using UV-LIGA process with PMER N-CA3000. In order to fabricate metal structure with high aspect ratio, the systematic optimization method was adopted and then the structure of $36{\mu}m$ thick mold with aspect ratio 7:1 (trench) and $32{\mu}m$ thick nickel structure was obtained. This structure is applied to the fabrication of optical switch.

광통신 기술의 발전으로 광 스위치 분야의 개발이 활발히 진행되고 있으며 이중에서도 MEMS를 이용한 광 스위치가 주류를 이루어 개발되고 있다. 특히 최근에는 OXC(Optical Cross Connect)에 사용되는 MEMS actuator로 구동되는 미소거울이 스위치내부에 사용되는 유일한 대안으로 떠오르면서 많은 기업들이 특허를 출원하고 있다. 현재 미국이 압도적인 기술우위를 보이고 뒤이어 일본이 현재 많은 개발을 서두르고 있음을 볼 수 있다. 한국은 미래의 주역이 될 것으로 보이는 MEMS 기술개발에 많은 투자를 해야 할 것이며 더불어 이를 이용한 응용 분야에 대한 상호 복합적 연구 또한 진행해야 세계 기술시장에 당당히 설 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

An intermodal switch based on optically-induced (through optical Kerr effect) periodic coupling in a two-mode waveguide is described and demonstrated. A high power pump beam injected into the two modes of the waveguide produced a periodic modulation of the refractive index profile with a period of modal beat length. this causes an intermodal coupling of the prove beam. The operating principle was successfully demonstrated in an elliptical core two-mode fiber with a counter-propagating pump-probe scheme.

OPTIC COMMUNICATION MIDDLE EMPLOYS LIGHT AS A MEDIUM OF COMMUNICATION IS WIDELY USED AS MANY MIDDLE DISTANCE COMMUNICATION BECAUSE IT HAS MERITS OF LOW LOSS, WIDE OPTIC RANGE AND LARGE CAPACITATIZATION AND IS APPLIED TO OPTICAL UTILIZER NETWORK. LAN(LOCAL AREA NETWORK) FOR GREAT UTILIZER GROUPS. SO IN OPTICAL COMMUNICATION, THIS STUDY IS FOCUSED ON THE INVESTIGATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF A CERAMIC SWITCH CONNECTING WITH OPTICAL FIBERS. THE USED MATERIAL AS A CERAMIC SWITCH WAS A PARTIALLY STABILIZED ZIRCONIA WHICH IS USED AS A COMPOSITION MATERIALS PRECISION FORMING AND SINTERING WERE INVESTIGATED.

We study complicated nonlinear interactions of two orthogonally polarized pulses with pulse-width of less than 100fsec in the all-optical phase-shift switches, which use soliton pulse-train and fiber-splicing for control pulse to obtain multi-collisional $\pi$-phase-shift and consider Raman response function. We investigate switching performance in various input parameters such as input pulse-width and birefringence of fiber, and find optimum initial conditions for good switching performance in such all-optical switches.

Y-branch directional coupler type optical modulators with three different coupling lengths were fabricated on z-cut LiNbO3 and tested at λ-1.3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. One device gad an exact coupling length for complete power transfer and two other devices had coupling lengths. It was confirmed that, for dc operation, experimental results agreed well with theoretical results.
