Based on the escape cone concepts, high-brightness light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have been analyzed. In AlGaAs or InGaAlP LEDs, photon absorption in the ohmic region under the electrode is known to be significant. Thus, ins general, a thick window layer (WL) and a transparent substrate (TS) would minimize photon shielding by the electrodes and considerably improve photon output coupling efficiency. However, the schemes do not seem to be necessary in InGaN system. Photon absorption in ohmic contact to a wide bandgap semiconductor such as GaN may be negligible and, as a result, the significant photon shielding by the electrodes will not degrade the photon output coupling efficiency so much. The photon output coupling efficiency estimated in InGaN LEDs is about 2.5 - 2.8 times that of the conventional high-brightness LED structures based on both WL and TS schemes. As a result, the extenal quantum efficiency in InGaN LEDs is as high as 9% despite the presumably very low internal quantum efficiency.

In this work, we investigate polarization-dependent excitation of the propagating surface plasmon polariton (SPP) modes in gold nanowires (Au NWs) combined with gold nanoparticles (Au NPs). The light coupling from focused light to SPPs on Au NWs is investigated for different structural combinations of Au NWs with Au NPs, using full-wave finite-element numerical simulations. The results show that the excitation of SPPs changes remarkably on varying the orientation of the NP on NW or the polarization angle of the incident light. Metallic NWs combined with NPs can be applied to the polarization-resolved SPP coupling in various optical and optoelectronic devices including photonic circuits and optical sensors.

We have fabricated a side-illuminated p-i-n photodetectors with evanescently-coupled waveguides for surface hybrid integration in low-cost modules. We adopted WGPD of evanescently-coupled type to have high responsivity and coupling tolerance, and to avoid any reliability problem. This proposed photodetectors have a high responsivity of 1.10 A／W at a wavelength of 1.55 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The 1dB coupling tolerance to cleaved fiber and photodetectors is $\pm$3.5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in the vertical direction and $\pm$11 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in the horizontal direction.

Due to the low loss, broadband and accurate short time delay properties of optical fiber, it has attracted as a delay medium for high speed and broad-band signal processing. In this paper, we consider the coherent optical fiber filter of IIR lattice structure, which uses coherent light sources and consists of directional couplers whose coupling coefficients are restricted between 0 and 1. Considering restrictions of directional coupler, the design formulae and condition for realibility of optical fiber filter of IIR lattice structure which makes the optimal use of optical signal energy are derived.

Single-ring all-pass filters with various coupling ratios are designed, fabricated, and characterized to assess the validity of the split-step time-domain modeling approach, which is considered for direct simulation of time-domain characteristics, such as optical delay, of various ring resonator devices. When the coupling ratio of the single-ring all-pass filter is 0.4 and 0.8, the delay time is measured to be about 145 and 42 ps respectively, which is comparable to the time-domain modeling results of 151 and 47 ps respectively. The measurements for two- and three-ring all-pass filters are also found to agree quite well with the simulation results. With these results it is confirmed that the split-step time-domain model could be efficiently incorporated into an optical-communication simulation module for ring resonator delay components in an all-optical packet switching system.

A strong antiferromagnetic coupling in Fe/Si multilayered films (MLF) had been recently discovered and much consideration has been given to whether the coupling in the Fe/Si MLF system has the same origin as the metal/metal MLF. Nevertheless, the nature of the interfacial ron silicide is still controversial. On one hand, a metal/ semiconductor structure was suggested with a narrow band-gap semiconducting $\varepsilon$-FeSi spacer that mediates the coupling. However, some features show that the nature of coupling can be well understood in terms of the conventional metal/metal multilayered system. It is well known that both magneto-optical (MO) and optical properties of a metal depend strongly on their electronic structure that is also correlated with the atomic and chemical ordering. In this study, the nature of the interfacial regions is the Fe/Si multilayers has been investigated by the experimental and computer-simulated MO and optical spectroscopies. The Fe/Si MLF were prepared by rf-sputtering onto glass substrates at room temperature with the number of repetition N=50. The thickness of Fe sublayer was fixed at 3.0nm while the Si sublayer thickness was varied from 1.0 to 2.0 nm. The topmost layer of all the Fe/Si MLF is Fe. In order to carry out the computer simulations, the information on the MO and optical parameters of the materials that may constitute a real multilayered structure should be known in advance. For this purpose, we also prepared Fe, Si, FeSi2 and FeSi samples. The structural characterization of Fe/Si MLF was performed by low- and high -angle x-ray diffraction with a Cu-K$\alpha$ radiation and by transmission electron microscopy. A bulk $\varepsilon$-FeSi was also investigated. The MO and optical properties were measured at room temperature in the 1.0-4.7 eV energy range. The theoretical simulations of MO and optical properties for the Fe/Si MLF were performed by solving exactly a multireflection problem using the scattering matrix approach assuming various stoichiometries of a nonmagnetic spacer separating the antiferromagnetically coupled Fe layers. The simulated spectra of a model structure of FeSi2 or $\varepsilon$-FeSi as the spacer turned out to fail in explaining the experimental spectra of the Fe/Si MLF in both intensity and shape. Thus, the decisive disagreement between experimental and simulated MO and optical properties ruled out the hypothesis of FeSi2 and $\varepsilon$-FeSi as the nonmagnetic spacer. By supposing the spontaneous formation of a metallic ζ-FeSi, a reasonable agreement between experimental and simulated MO and optical spectra was obtained.

SSC(Spot-size converter)가 집적된 1$1.3\mu{m}$ FP(Fabry-Perot)-LD(Laser Diode)에서 SSC 영역의 광도파로 구조가 단일모드광섬유와의 광결합 효율 및 정렬오차에 미치는 영향에 대해서 3차원 BPM(Beam Propagation Method)를 사용하여 알아보았다. 수지 taper의 경우 광결합효율을 향상하기 위해서는 taper 끝단에 충분한 길이의 직선도파로를 형성하는 것이 중요함을 알수 있었다. 또한 수평 taper 구조에서는 출사단 방향으로 도파로폭이 좁아지는 경우가 넓어지는 경우에 비해 유리하고, 수직 taper에 비해 완만한 도파로 경사가 필요함을 알 수있었다. 단일모드 광섬유와의 광결합 손실 및 정렬오차 허용도의 관점에서 좋은 특성을 주는 SSC 도파로 모양을 제시하였다.

단일모드 광섬유와 박막도파로 소자들 사이의 효율적인 광전송은 집적광학 시스템의 실현을 위해서 가장 기본적으로 풀어야 하는 필수적인 과제중의 하나인데, 이 때 광섬유와 도파로를 직접 접속시키는 방법은 접속면에서의 필드분포의 불일치로 인해 많은 양의 광전력이 반사되고 발산이 예상된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 박막도파로와 광섬유의 접속시 경계면에서의 필드분포의 불일치를 피하기위해 uniform 형과 taper 형의 결합 구조를 박막도파로위에 성장시켜 접속시키는 구조를 제안하고 해석하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 이들 구조가 광섬유로부터 결합도파로 안으로 광파가 전송되면 이후에 박막도파로로 효율적으로 광결합이 일어남을 보였고, 특히 taper 형태의 결합구조가 uniform 형태의 결합구조보다 결합효율 및 소자 제조측면에서 휠씬 더 바람직한 구조임이 증명되었다.

제작 공정이 단순하고 결합길이가 매우 짧은 폴리머를 이용한 수직형 비대칭 광 결합기를 새로이 제안하였다. 제안된 소자의 결합 특성을 분석하여 최적화를 도모하였다. 광통신 파장대인 1.33$\mu\textrm{m}$, TE모드에서 중간 버퍼층 두께 t=0.4$\mu\textrm{m}$이고, nu=1.522, n1=1.51이고 nt=1.49일 때, 결합길이가 277$\mu\textrm{m}$이며, 최고 94%의 결합효율을 얻을 수 있었다. 이는 전체 소자길이를 감소시켜, 도파 손실을 줄일 수 있으며, 고직적화는 물론 공정의 단순화로 인한 생산 시간 및 비용 절감과 향 후 광 스위치나 변조기로의 응용도 기대된다.
