Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) have saturated the technological market but are still widely used in high-speed and long-distance communication systems. To overcome EDFA saturation and limitations, its erbium-doped fiber is co-doped with other materials such as zirconia and bismuth. This article demonstrates and compares the performance using three different fibers as the gain medium for zirconia-erbium-doped fibers (Zr-EDF), bismuth-erbium-doped fibers (Bi-EDF), and commercial silica-erbium-doped fibers (Si- EDF). The optical amplifier was configured with a double-pass amplification system, with a broadband mirror at the end of its configuration to allow double-pass operation in the system. The important parameters in amplifiers such as optical properties, optical amplification and noise values were also examined and discussed. All three fibers were 0.5 m long and entered with different input signals: 30 dBm for low input and 10 dBm for high input. Zr-EDF turned out to be the most relevant optical amplifier as it had the highest optical gain, longest transmission distance, highest average flatness gain with minimal jitter, and relevant noise figures suitable for the latest communication technology.

광 위상 공액과 분산 제어 (DM; dispersion management)를 결합한 기술은 단일 모드 광섬유 (SMF; single mode fiber)의 색 분산과 비선형 Kerr 효과에 의한 광 신호 왜곡을 보상하는 대표적인 기술이다. 하지만 일반적으로 사용되는 고정된 각 중계 구간의 SMF 길이는 광전송 링크의 유연한 구성을 방해한다. 본 연구의 목적은 DM 광전송 링크를 구성하는 모든 중계 구간의 SMF 길이의 랜덤 분포를 통한 초고속 장거리 광전송 시스템의 유연한 구성 가능성을 살펴보는 것이다. 랜덤 분포에 의해 평균적으로 갖게 되는 SMF 길이가 짧을수록 파장 분할 다중 (WDM; wavelength division multiplexing) 신호 왜곡 보상에 효과적인 것을 확인하였다. 또한 각 중계 구간의 SMF 길이를 랜덤하게 분포시키는 DM 링크에서 우수한 보상을 위한 전체 잉여 분산의 조절은 postcompensation이 적합하고, 그 전체 잉여 분산(NRD; net residual dispersion) 크기는 -10 ps/nm인 것을 확인하였다.

Because of rapid technological advancements, increased data rate support has become the key criterion for future communication medium selection. Multimode optical fibers and multicore optical fibers are well matched to high data rate throughput requirements because of their tendency to support multiple modes through one core at a time, which results in higher data rates. Using the numerical mode solver OptiFiber, we have designed a concentric core fiber by investigating certain design parameters, namely core diameter (µm), wavelength (nm), and refractive index profile, and as a result, the number of channels, material losses, bending losses, polarization mode dispersion, and the effective nonlinear refractive index have been determined. Space division multiplexing is a promising future technology that uses few-mode fibers in parallel to form a multicore fiber. The experimental tests are conducted using the standard second window wavelength of 1,550 nm and simulated results are presented.

In recent years, there has been a remarkable progress in the development of the fiber optic sensors for the detection of various chemicals. Fiber optic sensors have the advantages of very small size, flexibility and low cost. The fiber optic sensors employing different optical or spectroscopic phenomena have been reported such as bulk absorption, optical reflectance, fluoresces and energy transfer. In this study, the effect of nanoparticle concentration in liquid upon light absorption and scattering was studied using extrinsic fiber optic method. For the evaluation, we used Red (650 nm) and Blue (430 nm) light sources which are coupled through the standard cuvette using optical fiber to detector. The experiments are carried out with Polystyrene latex (400 - 800 nm), and Silicon (35 - 110 nm) nanoparticles suspended in Isopropanol. Differences in light absorption and scattering depending on nanoparticle concentration and type are discussed. This method may be useful to study nanoparticles properties for various application and research.

Polarization mode dispersion (PMD) restrict the bend-width of single mode optical filer, and it is important parameter in the optical fiber having long-length. Although fiber has perfect circular symmetry, fiber bending, twisting and laws governing manufacture cause additional Polarization mode dispersion. The effect of polarization mode dispersion in general single mode fiber of long length is discussed in this paper. Measurement of PMD with random mode coupling were conducted in two kind of fibers using different laws governing manufacture and interferometric method.

Light losses in optical fibers are investigated by a fiber optic OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometry) sensor system to develop fiber optic probes for structural displacement measurement. The displacement sensitivity was determined by the measurements of fiber-bending loss according to the gage length changes of the displacement sensor. The fiber optic displacement probe was manufactured to verify the feasibility of the structural displacement measurement.

For Near-field Scanning Optical Microscopy measurements, the fiber tip is glued on the side of one of the tuning fork prongs vertically to its extended direction. Higher Q-factor is attainable in this geometry than in the arrangement with the fiber tip parallel to the prong. A simple mechanical design is applied to hold the fiber tip above the gluing point. The overall tuning fork-fiber tip assembly gives another advantage of the flexible Q-factor enhancement. With this treatment, Q-factor higher than 3000 is easily achievable. As an operating instance, a grating is scanned for its one dimensional topographical image.

본 논문은 광 패킷 채널을 전송하는 기상에 둔감한 무선광통신방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 광 패킷 채널들을 광섬유증폭기의 포화영역에서 증폭한다. 전송손실이 증가하면, 평균 패킷의 속도나 평균 패킷의 길이를 줄여서, 자유공간에 입력되는 광파워 레벨을 증가시킨다. 실험으로, $8{\times}10$ Gigabit Ethernet 채널을 자유공간에서 2.4 km 전송하였다. 또한 자유공간에서 광 패킷 채널을 중계하기 위하여 1.2 km 지점에 한 개의 이득포화 광중계기를 사용하였다.
