This paper proposes a frequency-doubling optoelectronic oscillator employing a novel three-arm dual-output Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM). One output of the MZM generates the fundamental-frequency signal which is recycled by the microwave optical fiber link for oscillation, and the other output can generate the frequency-doubled signal. Experiment was conducted using a commercial two-arm MZM, a phase modulator, and an optical fiber link of 89 meters in length. A 19-GHz frequency-doubled signal was successively obtained with fundamental signal suppression more than 36 dB.

An automatic measuring system of three dimensional shape by a projection method with grating pattern from in optical spatial modulator has been developed. The characteristics of the system were studied. This system is composed of a projector, an optical spatial modulator, a CCD camera, and computer. A liquid crystal is used as the optical spatial modulator. The grating patterns that ire projected on the surface of the object are controlled by the computer connected with the optical spatial modulator. The projector patterns are measured by the CCD camera. The data are transferred to the computer. After a transformation into line data, the data are analyzed to obtain the coordinate of the surface of the object. This system has advantages as follows. (1) It is possible to capture the surface topography without any contact. (2) The time required for the measurements is shorter than the light-section method. (3) An optical spatial modulator using a liquid crystal is possible to control the grating patterns accurately by a computer. Surfaces of a plate and a cylinder were measured. The threshold level had an influence on the measurement. It was shown that this system has adequae accuracy in the measurements.

본 논문에서 우리는 PAL-공간변조기를 사용한 Two-pupil 광학 스캐닝 기술에 의하여 실시간 JTC 상관 광 시스템을 수행할 수 있음을 보여주고자 한다. 광학적 addressing(Optical addressing)은 빛에 민감한 $\alpha$-Si 층, 즉 액체 크리스털을 따라 전기장을 조절하는 얍은 층에 의하여 성취되었다. 제안된 기술은 광학적 Twin-pupil 헤테로다인 스캐닝(heterodyne scanning)에 근거하고 있으며, 이 기법은 Fourier 평면에 위치한 광 공간변조기와는 독립적으로 작용한다. 우리는 본 기술의 이론적 근거를 개발하고 목표이미지와 참조이미지 사이의 상관관계를 실험적으로 평가함으로서 본 기술의 성능을 평가하였다.

We proposed an optical modulator of reflective type to compose the electric field sensor, and theoretically analyzed the performance and characteristics. For the high sensitivity of the sensor, a method to improve the modulation index of the modulator was presented. The electric field sensor using Ti:LiNbO$_{3}$ waveguide was fabricated and qualitatively investigated the characteristics by measuring the low frequency electric field. Even though the sensor showed relatively low modulation index, the electric filed strength of 10$^{-2}$V/m was measured. The experimental results revealed the utilities of this type electric field sensor.

The optical response for traveling-wave Mach-Zehnder modulators without-with phased reversal is successfully derived in more concise and succinct form than any other equations before. The obtained equation is applied to a bandpass traveling-wave modulator with 3-section phase reversal and is confirmed to be in reasonable agreement with the experimental data.

We have demonstrated a $Ti:LiNbO_3$ electro-optic electric-field sensor utilizing a $1{\times}2$ Y-fed balanced-bridge Mach-Zehnder interferometric (YBB-MZI) modulator, which uses a 3-dB directional coupler at the output and has two complementary output waveguides. A dc switching voltage of ~25 V and an extinction ratio of ~12.5 dB are observed at a wavelength of $1.3{\mu}m$. For a 20 dBm rf input power, the minimum detectable electric fields are ~8.21, 7.24, and ~13.3 V/m, corresponding to dynamic ranges of ~10, ~12, and ~7 dB at frequencies of 10, 30, and 50 MHz respectively. The sensors exhibit almost linear response for an applied electric-field intensity from 0.29 V/m to 29.8 V/m.

We propose a multi-rate and multi-BEP transmission scheme using adaptive overlapping pulse-position modulator (OPPM) and optical power controller in optical code division multiple access (CDMA) networks. The proposed system achieves the multi-rate and multi-BEP transmission by accommodating users with different values of OPPM parameter and transmitted power in the same network. The proposed scheme has advantages that the system is not required to change the code length and number of weight depending on the required bit rate of a user and the difference of bit rates does not have so much effect on the bit error probabilities (BEPs). Moreover, the difference of transmitted powers does not cause the change of bit rate. We analyze the BEPs of the four multimedia service classes corresponding to the com­binations of high/low-rates and low/high-BEPs and show that the proposed scheme can easily achieve distinct differentiation of the service classes with the simple system configuration.

In this study, a single optical modulator which is fabricated on X-cut $LiNbO_3$ substrate by using proton exchange method is described. It is well-known that the proton exchange method is characterized by index change of the single optical modulator. As a results, it is found that the single optical waveguide varied widely with controlling diffusion process. The diffusion process was used to optimize the fabrication of the single optical modulator. On the other hand, the process was used to provide another performance improvement and it reduced the fabrication process.
