In this paper, methods of designing CPW(coplanar waveguide) traveling-wave electrodes are described and their properties are discussed. Especially, the effect of buffer layer thickness to the microwave characteristics of the CPW electrodes are studied in detail. The trade-off relationship between buffer layer thickness and electro-optical properties of the devices are clearly revealde. The microwave characteristics and driving voltage can be further improved by using selected parameters suggested in this paper. To reduce time and effort in designing CPW electrode structure, exact analytical models are proposed.

Side-polished single-mode fiber covered with a thick planar-glass-waveguide is studied as a polarization-insensitive fiber-optic refractometer The properties of the device are very sensitive to the index variation of an upper cladding on top of the overlay waveguide. We investigate the spectral response, the polarization properties, and the relationship between the shift in coupling wavelength and the index variation of an upper cladding layer Index resolutions of the order of 10-4 have been achieved.

W have developed the simplified formalism of PSBM in order to save calculation time and to increase the accuracy. Using this new formalism of PBM, we have evaluated the loss of the three kinds of waveguide; bent, Y-branch, and cascaded Y-branches. It takes nearly half of the conventional PBM calculation time, even in spite of increasing of he calculation accuracy. This simplified formalism of PBM would be used efficiently in analysis of complicated three dimensional dielectric optical waveguide.

A low loss x-cut LiNbO$_3$ optical waveguide was fabricated by Ti in-diffusion and the guided-mode properties and total insertion loss of pigtailing with polarization maintaining fiber(PMF) were investigated and measured at optical wavelength 15507. For formaing the waveguide, the parameters of diffusion Ti thickness, waveguide line-width, length, diffusion temperature, time and atmosphere were set 1400$\AA$, 8${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, 3.3cm, 105$0^{\circ}C$, 8 hours and wet bubbled oxygen, respectively. and then After the polishing and pigtailing, it showed that total insertion loss was -4.1dB for TM mode, -5.5dB for TE mode, and mode size, that is, horizontal/vertical sizes were 13.87/18${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ for TM mode, 9.61${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/6.5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ for TE mode.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of a reliable, scalable, and cost-effective switchless wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) network based on an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG). The network efficiency is significantly increased by spatially reusing wavelengths and exploiting multiple free spectral ranges (FSRs) of the AWG employed in the architecture. We have analyzed the performance of this architecture by simulating in $Optsim^{TM}$ with a control channel which exploits the broadband light source, i.e., an LED. The data was successfully transmitted to a distance of 30 km without using any EDFA's in the network, with a reasonable BER of $4.0530{\times}10^{-14}$. We have analyzed the performance of this architecture with a control channel which exploits the broadband light source, i.e., an LED, by simulating in $Optsim^{TM}$.

The numerical alaysis of optical device, silicabased device, are presented. The purpose of this paper is to simulate and to design a 8-channel optical wavelength division multiplexer(OWDM) based on Mach-Zehnder Interferometer(MZI) with wavelength spacing between channels Δλ=0.8 nm at central wavelength λ=1.55 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. In initial condition fur simulating, we assumed as follows. A channel waveguide is made from silica based P-doped SiO2 core layers in order to coupling with a fiber easily and its core dimension was 6 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$\times$6 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The core and clad index of channel waveguide were 1.455 and 1.444, separately, at λ=1.55 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Where, the separation between channel waveguides in coupling region was 3 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. As a result of analysis, a group mode index of channel waveguide was 1.4498370, was gained by Hermite-Gaussian Method(HGM). Also, the channel spacing was determined by the waveguide arm length difference and was Δλ=0.8 nm as like a proposed condition. The central wavelength of a designed-multiplexer was activated about wavelength λ=1.55 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, and we certificated that it can be used to 8-channel optical wavelength division multiplexer/demultiplexer.

In this paper, we propose a new type of a planar waveguide lens, a meniscus lens instead of a plano-convex lens used widely for the optical integrated circuits such as optical numerical processors. A plano-convex lens has a spherical aberration caused by the linear boundary. In the proposed meniscus lens, this linear boundary is replaced by a circular-boundary, and the spherical aberration is removed. To test the performance of the proposed lens, a meniscus lens is designed using Fermat principle and fabricated on the Y-cut $LiNbO_3$ substrate. First a $Ti:LiNbO_3$ planar waveguide is fabricated on the $LiNbO_3$ substrate by Ti indiffusion. Then a meniscus lens is fabricated on the planar waveguide by TIPE(Ti indiffued proton-exchange) method. A plano-convex lens is also fabricated on the same substrate to compare the spot size at the focal point. The measured spot size of the meniscus lens is reduced to 59% that of the plano-convex lens. This result shows that the proposed meniscus lens is more effective for optical integrated circuits than the plano-convex lens.

As the radius of curvature of curved optical waveguide gets smaller, the loss increases at the junction of linear-curved waveguide by the cross sectional mode mismatch. The concept of lateral offset has been used widely to minimize it, and simple method of maximum matching has been efficient for most cases of silica waveguide with low optical confinement and large radius of curvature. Here, we analyzed that the propagation mode characteristics of the lateral offset and propagation mode characteristics of general case with effective index method and Airy function solution. As the normalized frequency varies, mode characteristics changes near the boundary of 1/V=0.7 and the simple matching of gaussian profile might give -35% of error at most. We proposed improved method with a new correction factor to improve the mode mismatch problem of conventional methods for general cases, and showed the convenience and feasibility of this method for the calculation of the lateral offset.

Optical waveguide based on symmetric and asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer(MZI) type was designed, fabricated and measured the optical characteristics for the application of biosensor. The wavelength of the input optical signal for the device was 1550 nm. And the difference of refractive index was $0.45\;{\Delta}\%$ between core and cladding of the device. The TM(Transverse Magnetic) mode optical properties of the biosensor were analyzed with the refractive index variation of gold thin film deposited for overclad. Nowadays, nano-photonic crystal structures have been paied much attention for its high optical sensitivity. There is a technique to realize the structure, which is called Dip-Pen Nanolithography(DPN) process. The process requires a nano-scale process patterning resolution and high reliability. In this paper, two dimensional nano-photonic crystal array on the surface was proposed for improving the sensitivity of optical biosensor. And the Dip-Pen Nanolithogrphy process was investigated to realize it.

We propose an optical performance monitoring method for WDM optical transmission systems. By assigning a pair of AWG ports to each optical signal channel. the optical power, optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNIO, and wavelength of all the signal channels are observed simultaneously. The output power ratio of the AWG port pair depended on the wavelength variation of the channel with sensitivity of 1dB/0.026nm. The OSNH results were deviated no more than 0.7dB from the results measured by optical signal analyzer (OSA).
