We perform an optical vestigial sideband (VSB) filtering using a pair of Fabry-Perot (FP) filters. The transmittance curve of each FP filter is made to have sharp skirts using an offset between input and output coupling fibers. Moreover, the accurate periodicity of FP filters in the optical frequency domain enables the simultaneous VSB filtering of a large number of optical channels. With this VSB filtering technique, we transmit 12.5-GHz spaced $64{\times}12.4-Gb/s$ wavelength-division-multiplexing channels over a single-mode fiber up to 150 km without any dispersion compensations. When the channel spacing is reduced to 10 GHz, we achieve the spectral efficiency of 1 bit/s/Hz in conventional optical intensity modulation systems up to 125 km.

The modulation bandwidth of a reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA) is limited by carrier lifetime. Therefore, it is hard to directly modulate an RSOA with high-speed electrical signals. We theorize that an optical filter can act as an optical equalizer, compensating for the narrow bandwidth limitation imposed by the RSOA. By modeling a time-varying RSOA with a modified transfer matrix method (TMM), we simulated 25 Gbps operation of an RSOA with optical filtering effects. We investigated the impact of detuning the center wavelength of the optical filter on the modulation of an RSOA. The numerical results show that it is possible to modulate an RSOA with an optical filtering effect at 25 Gbps without electronic equalization or digital signal processing.

We report a technique that improves the spatial resolution of optical coherence tomography (OCT) by utilizing fiber-based spectral filtering. The proposed technique improves the resolution by filtering out the erbium’s characteristic peak from the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) source spectrum, and reshaping the spectrum to Gaussian-like. We used a long period fiber grating (LPG) and an erbium doped fiber (EDF) absorber for the spectral filtering. An in-house made ASE source as well as a commercial ASE source [ASE-FL7002] was used as the OCT sources to study the proposed technique. The resolution of the OCT based on an in-house made ASE source is enhanced from 200 to 40 ㎛ with an LPG. While, the resolution of the OCT based on a commercial ASE source is enhanced from 25 to 19 ㎛ with the aid of an EDF absorber. However, sidelobes still exist in the interferogram due to imperfect spectral filtering, which limited the resolution. Further enhancement in the spatial resolution of the OCT system using the ASE source is possible with the aid of cascaded LPGs and/or carefully designed EDF absorber.

OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography)는 여러 단층영상 촬영기법의 하나로써 절개 없이도 생체의 복잡한 내부구조를 고분해능으로 이미징할 수 있는 장점을 갖고 있다. 고분해능 OCT 이미지는 사용되는 광원에 의해서 결정되는데 가우시안 형태를 갖는 넓은 파장대역의 광원일수록 높은 분해능이 가능하게 된다. OCT에서 사용되는 광원의 종류는 SLD, EELED, ASE등이 사용되고 있다. 그 중에서 ASE광원은 높은 출력 파워를 갖고 넓은 파장대역을 포함하지만 스펙트럼의 형태가 가우시안이 아닌 단점을 가지고 있다. (중략)

광 평면 유전체 기판 위에 형성된 금속격자구조의 누설특성을 이용한 새로운 광 결합용 필터를 제안하였고, Bragg 조건들을 모드 전송선로 이론을 사용하여 정확하게 분석하였다. 수치해석 결과, 유전체격자구조로 구성된 기존의 DFB는 전송 모드들의 피드백특성에 기인한 차단대역을 형성하지만 금속격자구조는 누설파특성에 기인한 차단대역을 형성하는 것으로 나타났다. 결국, 누설파 필터특성을 적용한 광 결합용 필터는 LD나 광섬유와 같은 광통신용 소자들과 집적이 가능함을 보였다.

In this paper, we theoretically demonstrate that semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) with strong wavelength dependence of gain and phase are capable of all-optical inverted and non-inverted wavelength conversion (WC) over a wide range, with the assistance of an optical filter. First, the gain dynamics and phase dynamics in a common quantum well (QW) SOA with the $In_{0.53}Ga_{0.47}As/In_{0.7322}Ga_{0.2678}As_{0.5810}P_{0.4190}$ material system are found to be strongly dependent on wavelength, which is mainly related to the wavelength dependence of the differential gain and the differential refractive-index change. Second, the wavelength dependence in an all-optical wavelength converter based on the QW SOA cascaded with a detuning band pass filter is studied. Simulations show that the quality of the converted signal has little dependence on the operation wavelength. Both inverted and non-inverted WC can be achieved, over a large wavelength range. Therefore, although the gain and phase change are strongly wavelength-dependent, the effects of this dependence can be erased by appropriate optical filtering.

The scattered light pattern from a machined surface generally contains much information concerning the surface roughness. The light pattern can be acquired by optical system and analyzed by statistical method. This kind of surface roughness measurement system can be easily adopted on the machine measurement. But the fully assembled system is too complex to implement on small systems using micro-controller. This study proposes the idea of reducing the number of optical components by removing screen and examines image processing of a light pattern to minimize the negative result of incomplete optical system. And the Gaussian blur filtering is concluded to be the best method of proposed measurement system. Furthermore light intensity variation of image pattern can be treated as a signal, therefore FIR filtering gives the similar result of Gaussian blur effect.

Since 1998 for protection of marine pollution, all ships must have oil filtering equipment and 15ppm bilge alarms which satisfy Requirements of MARPOL 73/78. Oily-water separator used in machinery area of ships usually consists of two parts; one is filtering equipment and the other is oil content meter(OCM). This study presents optical characteristics of bilge were acquired form oil content sensing module. The oil content sensing module consists of IR-LED light source, photo-diode light receivers, and a glass tube for bilge water sample.
