In this paper, we performed theoretical simulation for directional coupler using BPM program. Simulation results shored that the optimum optical waveguide refractive index between the guides were 3$\mu\textrm{m}$. Using the parameters of n$_1$=2.25, n$_2$=2.25, n$_3$=2.2, gap=3$\mu\textrm{m}$, W= 30$\mu\textrm{m}$, $\Delta$z=0.l$\mu\textrm{m}$, λ=1.5$\mu\textrm{m}$, we decided other design parameters. When we applied 40[V] in the optimum condition of the directional coupling effect, we concluded the refractive index variation of 0.001.

We have investigated the ultimate limits of nonuniform grating couplers (NGCs) for optimized fiber coupling to silicon waveguides, compared to uniform grating couplers (UGCs). Simple grating coupler schemes, which can be fabricated in etching steps of the conventional complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers without forming any additional overlay structure, have been simulated numerically and demonstrated experimentally. Optimum values of the grating period, fill factor, and groove number for ultimate coupling efficiency of the NGCs are determined from finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation, and confirmed with experimentally demonstrated devices by comparison to those for the UGCs. Our simulated results indicate that maximum coupling efficiency of NGCs is possible when the minimum pattern size is below 50 nm, but the experimental value for the maximum coupling efficiency is limited by the attainable fabrication tolerance in a practical device process.

We analyzed the excitation coefficients and the extinction ratio as a function of waveguide width, center to center distance, and angle of input waveguide for a directional coupler. The variation of thc difference between excitation coefficients is similar to that of the extinction ratio. Also, the smaller the difference between those is, the better the extinction ratio is. This concept will have application to devices using optical coupling.

편광기는 광변조기나 스위치 등과 같이 구동을 위해 하나의 편광성분을 요구하는 소자를 동작시킬 때 필수적으로 요구되는 소자이다. 편광기를 구현하는 기법에 따라 벌크형, 집적광학형 그리고 광섬유형으로 구분할 수 있다. 광섬유형은 광섬유를 절단하지 않고 제작이 가능하여 삽입손실이 작고 높은 기계적 신뢰성을 가진다. 측면 연마된 광섬유(side-polished fiber)위에 복굴절 크리스탈$^{(1)}$ , 액정크리스탈$^{(2)}$ , 금속막$^{(3)}$ , 그리고 복굴절을 가지는 평면도파로$^{(4)}$ 를 결합한 구조가 잘 알려져 있다. 특히 광섬유-평면도파로 결합 구조는 원하는 파장에서 TE혹은 TM 편광성분을 선택적으로 제거할 수 있고 평면도파로 물질선택이 용이한 구조이기 때문에 많은 주목을 받아 왔다. 하지만 지금 까지 알려진 광섬유-평면도파로 결합기를 이용한 편광기는 편광선택 작용이 발생하는 파장범위가 좁아 범용적으로 사용하는데 적합하지 않는 점이 있다.

WDM(wavelength-division multiplexing) 광통신 네트웍을 이루는 핵심기술중의 하나는 ADF(Add-drop Filter)의 구현에 있다. 광섬유격자와 여러형태의 구조를 이용한 ADF들 중에서도 비대칭 결합기와 광섬유 격자를 이용한 구조는, 간섭계 구조가 아니기 때문에 제작이 용이하고 보다 안정된 특성을 보일 것으로 기대되어 많은 관심을 갖게 하고 있다$^{(1)}$ . 비대칭 결합기 구조의 경우, 두 광도파로의 코어반경이나 굴절율 분포가 서로 다르기 때문에, 일반적으로 광파의 결합이 일어나지 않는다. 그러나 브래그 격자의 반사조건을 만족하는 파장성분의 경우 입력단(input port)에서 드롭단(drop port)으로 반사되어 나오고, 그 외의 파장성분은 출력단(Output port)으로 나오게 되어 드롭 기능을 수행하게 된다. 비슷한 원리로 add port에서 출력단으로의 add 기능도 수행된다. 본 논문에서는 연산자 분리 시영역 모델$^{(2)}$ 을 이용하여 비대칭구조에서의 파장응답 특성을 해석하였다. 또한 최적화를 위한 조건을 알아 보고, 소자 설계에 필요한 파라미터를 정의하여 최적설계에 필요한 파라미터를 구하였다.

In this paper, to detect external sound frequency on the latticed structure, fiber optic sensor net using Sagnac interferometer was fabricated and tested. The latticed structure fabricated with dimension of 50cm in width and 50cm in height, the optical fiber, 50m in length, distributed and fixed on the latticed structure. Single mode fiber, a laser with 1,550nm in wavelength, 2${\times}$2 coupler were used. External sound signal applied to the fiber optic sensor net and the detected optical signals were compared and analyzed to the detected microphone signals against time and frequency domain. Based on the experimental results, fiber optic sensor net using Sagnac interferometer detected external sound frequency, effectively. This system can be expanded to the structural health monitoring system.

최근 초고속 광통신 시스템이 발달함에 따라, 광통신 시스템 및 초고속 광통신 시스템의 핵심 부품인 평면도파로형 분배기(Splitter) 및 결합기(Coupler), 파장분할 다중화소자(WDM), AWG(Arrayed Wave Guide) 필터와 같은 소자부품 수요가 급격히 늘고 있다. 그러나 이러한 소자를 생산하는 공정은 수공적인 방법에 의존하여 생산성 향상을 위한 자동화에 대한 요구가 시급하다 특히 소자(Devices)와 광섬유(Optical fiber) 사이의 광학적인 정렬(Alignment)과 접속(Attachment) 공정은 부품 성능 및 생산성 향상, 그리고 비용절감을 위한 가장 핵심적인 문제로 대두되고 있다.(중략)

In this paper, we propose and analyze a new multiple access protocol for a local area optical Internet based on a wavelength division multiplexing technique which uses a passive star coupler. The proposed contention-based reservation protocol can support variable-length as well as fixed-length messages for transporting Internet packets with one reservation of a minislot at the beginning of a packet transmission. The minislot is used to reserve the data channel on the basis of the slotted ALOHA protocol and the control node ensures subsequent message transmission on the same wavelength. Thus, all messages need not be broken down to many fixed-length packets, and consecutive messages are transmitted through the same wavelength. Moreover, the proposed protocol reduces the collision probability of minislots and improves wavelength utilization. We determine the maximum throughput and verify the results with simulation.

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.

In electrode-less lamp, The key point in creating an efficient light source based on RF discharge is to minimize the RF power loss in the RF coupler which for Anderson's type of RF lamp is due to losses in the ferrite core. This loss depends on the particular ferrite material, its size, geometry, frequency in this kind of inductive lamp shows that the correct choice of discharge current has a crucial effect on the core loss. In this study, we measured Ferrite temperature in normal state, then analyzed electrical and optical characteristics according to ferrite shape. We were able to know that was ferrite of the antenna had relate closely with temperature and luminous of the lamp. Also we appraised temperature and electrical, optical properties during turn on the lamp.
