This paper presents a new graphical method for selecting a pair of optical glass and housing materials to simultaneously achromatize and athermalize a multilens system composed of many elements. To take into account the lens spacing and housing, we quantify the lens power, chromatic power, and thermal power by weighting the ratio of the paraxial ray height at each lens to them. In addition, we introduce the equivalent single lens and the expanded athermal glass map including a housing material. Even though a lens system is composed of many elements, we can simply identify a pair of glass and housing materials that satisfies the athermal and achromatic conditions. Applying this method to design a black box camera lens equipped with a 1/4-inch image sensor having a pixel width of $2{\mu}m$, the chromatic and thermal defocusings are reduced to less than the depth of focus, over the specified ranges in temperature and frequency.

We propose the performance enhancing method optimization of an asynchronous 2.5 Gbps/1.25 Gbps optical subscriber network with inverse RZ (Return to Zero) coded downstream and NRZ (Non Return to Zero) upstream re-modulation by adjusting threshold level control of a receiver. We theoretically analyze the BER (Bit Error Rate) performance by modeling the occurrence of BER by simulation with MATLAB according to the types of downstream data. The results have shown that the normalized threshold level in an optical receiver could be saturated at 1/3 as the SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) increases. The needed SNR for obtaining the BER $10^{-9}$ can be reduced by $\sim$5 dB by optimizing the normalized threshold level at 1/3 instead of by using the conventional receiver with threshold level of 0.5. The proposed system can be a useful technology for asynchronous optical access networks with asymmetric upstream and downstream data rates, because the improved minimum receiving power could replace a light source with a source with lower power and lower cost in an OLT (Optical Line Termination).

We report on a ridge waveguide laser diode with laterally tapered waveguides fabricated in a single growing step using a double patterning method. In this structure, nearly constant output power is obtained with the change of the lower tapered waveguide width, and the facet power ratio of 1.4 to 1.5 is observed over the current range. The asymmetric facet power property is also investigated.

In this study, we performed a modeling for $K^{+}$ ion-exchanged diffused channel waveguide and waveguide-type optical coupler by WKB(Wentzel-Kramer-Brillouim) dispersion equation, field distribution equation of mode and coupled mode theory, and examined the optical-power-dividing of the optical coupler fabricated by using the modeling condition. The optical-power-dividing was observed at the waveguide-type optical coupler with 3[$\mu\textrm{m}$] line-width, 6[$\mu\textrm{m}$] space between channel waveguides, and 3[mm] interaction length.

Variable optical attenuators (VOA) made of low-loss fluorinated polymers are demonstrated which shows a low operating power less than 30 mW due to the superior thermo-optic effect of polymer material and a low insertion loss less than 1.0 dB by incorporating highly fluorinated polymers to reduce the absorption loss at 1550 nm. An attenuator-integrated low-crosstalk polymeric digital optical switch (DOS) is also demonstrated. The switch and attenuator shares a single connected electrode which is controlled by a single current source. Due to the simple structure of the integrated attenuator, the device length is reduced to 1 cm so as to provide low insertion loss of 0.8 and 1.1 dB for 1300 and 1550 nm, respectively. The attenuator radiates remained optical signal on the switch-off branch in order to decrease the switching crosstalk to be less than -70 dB with an applied electrical power of 200 mW.

Femtosecond laser machining has been applied for creating a sensor function in silica glass optical fibers. Femtosecond laser pulses make it possible to fabricate micro structures in processed regions of a very thin glass fiber line because femtosecond laser pulses can extremely minimize thermal effects. With the laser machining to optical fiber using a single shot of 210-fs laser at a wavelength of 800 nm, it was observed that a processed region surrounded a thin layer which seemed to be a hollow cavity monitored by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). This study aims at a theoretical investigation for the processed region by using a numerical analysis in order to embed sensing function to optical fibers. Numerical methods based finite element method (FEM) has been used for an optical waveguide modeling. This report suggests two types modeling and describes a comparative study on optical losses obtained by the experiment and the numerical analysis.

In this paper, we investigated the optical coupling characteristics for $K^{+}$ ion-exchanged diffused channel waveguide by using coupled-mode equations. In this case, the optical-power-dividing was observed at the waveguide-type optical coupler with 3[$\mu\textrm{m}$] line-width and, 6[$\mu\textrm{m}$] separation between channel waveguides in which interaction lengths were 1 and 3[mm], respectively, On the basis of that we deformed simulation for $Ag^{+}$ ion-exchanged diffused channel waveguide. As a result of simulation, the optical-power-dividing was shown at the waveguide-type optical coupler wish 3[$\mu\textrm{m}$] line-width, 6[$\mu\textrm{m}$] separation between channel waveguides and 0.11[mm] interaction length.

본 논문에서 홀로그램의 일부 영역만을 선택하여 자동 초점 맺는 방법을 제안하고 이를 실험적으로 보였다. 먼저 광 스캐닝 홀로그래피를 이용하여 복소 홀로그램을 추출한다. 그 다음 홀로그램의 일부 영역만을 선택하고 가우시안 저대역 필터링, Real-only 홀로그램 합성, Power fringe-adjusted 필터링, 주파수축 변환 등의 과정을 통해 깊이 정보를 추출한다. 이렇게 추출된 깊이 위치를 이용하여 홀로그램을 자동적으로 복원하게 된다.

정현파로 구동되는 위상변조기로 주파수 첩이 유기된 펄스를 발생시키고, 이 첩이 유기된 펄스를 분산이 있는 광섬유로 압축하는, 첩된 펄스의 압축에 의한 고속의 선천적으로 안정된 변환 제한급 광펄스 발생에 대해 보고한다. 실험결과 ∼14 피코초의 시간 대역곱이 ∼0.34인 Sech2 형태의 펄스를 10 GHz의 반복율로 성공적으로 발생시킬 수 있음을 보였다. 본 접근 방법은 고차 솔리톤 효과를 이용한 펄스 압축과 같은 여타 방법과는 다르게 광전력에 무관하기 때문에, 저 전력 레이저에 아주 유용하게 응용될 수 있다.

We optimized the structure of a fully depleted optical thyristor (DOT) to achieve the faster switching speed and the lower power consumption by the depletion of charge at the lower negative voltage. The fabricated optical thyristor shows sufficient nonlinear s-shape I-V characteristics with the switching voltage of 2.85 V and the complete depletion voltage of -8.73 V. In this paper, using a finite difference method (FDM), we calculate the effects of parameters such as doping concentration and thickness of each layer to determine the optimized structure in the view of the fast and low-power-consuming operation.
