파장변환 소자는 최근에 급격히 발전하는 광네트웍을 구축하기 위하여 필수적인 소자로서 여러 가지 형태에 대한 연구개발이 진행되고 있다. 그중에서도, 최근에는 반도체 광증폭기로 형성된 방향성 결합기구조(semiconductor optical amplifier directional coupler)에서의 상호 이득 포화(XPM : cross-phase modulation)에 의한 파장변환에 대한 개념이 제안되고 가능성이 실험적으로 입증된 바 있다. 이런 구조의 파장변환 소자는 입력 광신호의 파워가 작을때는 위상 정합이 되어 반도체 광증폭기의 광모드가 완전히 결합되어 cross state로 변환된 파장의 광파워가 많이 출력되고, 신호 입력 파워가 증가함에 따라 결합이 감소하게 되어 Cross state에서의 출력 파워는 감소하게 된다. 이와 같은 소자는 입력 신호광과 변환된 신호광이 역방향으로 진행하는 경우 광필터가 필요없이 파장변환이 가능하고, 변환 후의 소광비가 향상되기 때문에 향후 다양한 형태로 응용될 가능성이 있으며, 적정 설계 및 성능 예측을 위해서는 시영역에서 모델링할 수 있는 방법론을 구축하는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 연산자 분리 방법$^{(1)}$ 을 적용하여 상술한 파장변환기를 해석하기에 적당하도록 시영역 동적 모델을 구현하고, 파장변환 특성을 여러 가지 면에서 분석하여 보았다.

The principal reason for the backscattering in an optical fiber is the Rayleigh scattering which is caused by non-uniform density of structure material of an optical fiber and diameter variations of the optical fiber-core along an optical fiber axis. The backscattering signal which is detected by the optical time domain reflectometer system(O.T.D.R) conatains information about both tha actual decay of power and the diameter variation along the optical fiber. In this paper, the O.T.D.R. system with 2x2 fiber directional coupler, timing control unit and gated integrator is used to measure diameter variations of an optical fiber.

The optical characteristics and power transfers between guiding channels of blazed grating-assisted directional coupler (B-GADC) are evaluated in detail by using novel and rigorous modal transmission-line theory (MTLT) based on eigenvalue problem. To evaluate the coupling efficiency of B-GADC, the dispersion curves as a function of the grating period and wavelength are analyzed numerically for quasi-TE and quasi-TM modes. Furthermore, symmetric, sawtooth and asymmetric grating profiles are considered to know the effect of blazing characteristics on power transfer of GADC. The numerical results show that the grating period for minimum-gap condition to obtain maximum power transfer decreases gradually as the blazed structure changes from symmetric to asymmetric profile. On the other hand, the coupling length increases reversely.

We report theoretical investigation on the polarization selective coupling characteristics of a side-polished fiber directional coupler with a thin metal interlayer. Based on normal mode theory the coupling properties of the device under various structural conditions are analyzed. It is shown that the coupling strength between TE modes weakens rapidly with increase or metal interlayer thickness, whereas that between TM modes becomes stronger. The design conditions of the polarization splitter using the coupler to achieve high extinction ratio and low insertion loss are presented.

This paper proposes a wavelength sensor based on the optical directional coupler. The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) is used in analysis of the field intensity of tile light propagating thorough the structure. The device with tile width of 0.4 $\mu\textrm{m}$ and the thickness of 0.4 $\mu\textrm{m}$, which corresponding with the coupling length of 40$\mu\textrm{m}$, would provide tile linear relationship between the coupling efficiency against the wavelength. The device can sense the wavelength in a range between 1.5$\mu\textrm{m}$ and 1.6$\mu\textrm{m}$, with continuous resolution. The wide wavelength could be also done be paralleling th light to a number of wavelength-sensing modules with particularly required bands. Therefore, it could be employed as the wavelength sensing for most optical communications, optoelectronics, laser applications and etc.
