Switching phenomenon of a three-waveguide optical coupler was analyzed by using the coupled mode theory, and the coupling-length of the device was calculated by means of the FDM. CPW traveling-wave electrodes were designed by the CMM and SOR simulation techniques so as to satisfy the conditions of phase-velocity and impedance matching. Traveling-wave modulators were fabricated on a z-cut LiNbO$_3$ substrate. Ti was in-diffused in LiNbO$_3$ to make waveguides and Au electrodes were built on the waveguides by the electroplating technique. Insertion loss and switching voltage of the optical modulator were about 4 ㏈ and 15.6V. Network analyzer was used to obtain S parameters and corresponding RF response. From the measurement, parameters of the traveling-wave electrodes were extracted as such Z$_{c}$=39.2 $\Omega$, Neff=2.48, and a0=0.0665/cm((GHz) (1/2)). The measured optical response R(w) was compared with the theoretically estimated and both responses were shown to agree well. The measurement results revealed that the ㏈ bandwidth turned out to be about 13 GHz.

In Optical Scanning Holography(OSH), 3-D holographic information of an object is generated by 2-D active optical scanning. The optical scanning beam can be a time-dependent Gaussian apodized Fresnel zone plate. In this technique, the holographic information manifests itself as an electric signal which can be sent to an electron-beam-addressed spatial light modulator for coherent image reconstruction. In this paper, we briefly review optical scanning holography and analyze the resolution achievable with the system. We also present mathmatical expressions of real and virtual images which are responsible for holographic image reconstruction. We then show the twin-image noise effect on the reconstruction in conjunction with the size of the Fresnel zone pattern through computer simulation.

We propose and demonstrate an external optical modulation method based on TE/TM-mode absorption nulls in a Multiple Quantum Well(MQW) Fabry-Perot laser diode(FP-LD). The center wavelength of the absorption nulls is rapidly shifted to short-wavelength by the small current change(~1mA) in the FP-LD, which can modulate an optical signal with more than 10 dB of extinction ratio(ER). The shift of the center wavelength comes from the refractive index change due to anomalous dispersion and the plasma effect in MQW FP-LD waveguide. Non-inverting and inverting signals are made by TE- and TM-mode absorption nulls at 155.52 Mbps and BERs for the signals are measured.

Frequency characteristics of gain-saturated erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) are experimentally evaluated to mitigate the optical signal fluctuation induced by atmospheric turbulence in terrestrial freespace optical communication systems. Here, an acousto-optic modulator (AOM) is used to emulate optical signal fluctuations induced by atmospheric turbulence. The waveform which is generated in proportion to the refractive-index structural parameters is used to drive the AOM at various periodic frequencies. Thus, the dependence of the signal fluctuation suppression on the frequency is evaluated. The experiment is conducted using a periodic frequency sweep of the AOM driving voltage waveform and signal input power variation of the amplifier. It is observed that a low periodic frequency and high input signal power effectively suppress the optical signal fluctuation. This study evaluates the experimental results from the high-pass filter and gain-saturation characteristics of the EDFA.

The flow direction in a glass tube is measured by using a forward scatering dual beam laser Doppler velocimeter with an acousto-optic modulator. We can determine the flow direction by measuring the shifted Doppler frequency which is dependent on the order of modulation of the laser frequency shifting moves only the Doppler signal, enabling complete separation of the Pedestal and Doppler singal.

홀로그래픽 데이터 저장 장치(holographic data storage)는 1960년대에 이미 아이디어가 출현하였고, 1990년대에 들어서 SLM(spatial light modulator)과 CCD(charge coupled device) 등 관련 기술의 발달과 함께 향후 늘어날 대용량 저장 장치 시장에 대한 전망 등에 힘입어 주목받기 시작하였다. 홀로그래픽 데이터 저장 장치의 중요한 장점은 대용량의 정보를 고속으로 처리할 수 있고, 특히 페이지 단위로는 병렬 접근이 가능하다는 것인데, 이를 위해서 반드시 해결되어야 할 것이 픽셀 매치(pixel-match)이다.

We propose the use of synchronously moving micro-optics (lenslet arrays) for image pickup and display in three-dimensional integral imaging to overcome the upper resolution limit imposed by the Nyquist sampling theorem. With the proposed technique, we present an all-optical three-dimensional integral imaging projector. An optically addressed spatial light modulator is used, which potentially provides better image resolution than the conventional CCD and liquid crystal display pair. We present experimental results using a liquid crystal light valve.

Third order correlation function is to be advantageous to detect unique features embedded in various random signals that are undtectable with second order correlation or power spectrum. In order paper, we will introduce a real time third order correlator which consists of a laser light source, an acousto-optical modulator with signal controlling circuitry, and a CCD camera connected to computer for image processing. With this correlator, the third order correlation pattern of a signal can be immediately obtained at the camera due to parallelnature of optical computing.

A Signal processor for the open-loop fiber optic gyroscope(FOG) is equipped with a stabilizer to reduce the error due to drift of fiber phase modulator (FPM). The stabilizer is designed to be operated to maintain the ratio of amplitude and phase between harmonics in the FOG signal. When FPM stabilizer is used, the temperature drift of FOG is reduced to less than 0.5 deg/hr in change of 20$^{\circ}C$.
