This paper investigates applications of femtosecond lasers for the micromachining of transparent materials and fabrication of optical devices. We show commercial micromachining examples of transparent materials which have been fabricated for various applications. Near infrared femtosecond laser processing is an attractive method to fabricate three-dimensional optical waveguides into various transparent materials. Focused femtosecond laser pulses induce a permanent refractive-index change only near the focal point. We also demonstrate a Y coupler with the splitting ratio of 1:1 written by femtosecond laser pulses into a fused silica glass. The minimum propagation loss of 0.8 ㏈/㎝ awl the refractive-index change of 0.006-0.01 at the wavelength of 1550 ㎚ were achieved by optimization of the laser fluence.

Novel breakthrough random-hole optical fibers (RHOFs) are fabricated in a draw tower facility, by tapering an optical fiber preform packed with a silica powder mixture capable of producing air holes in situ at the high temperature of tens of hundreds in degrees Celsius. Structural and propagation characteristics of the porous RHOF are explained briefly. Experimental investigations of the invented RHOF are performed for pressure sensor applications. Remarkable results are obtained for the RHOF with desirable pressure sensitivity independent of temperature, as is required for harsh conditions as in oil reservoirs.

Propagation of light along a pericardium meridian is measured and compared with that along a non-meridian path one cm away from the meridian. Source-light is illuminated on the Nei-Guan(PC6) and propagated light is detected at three points along the meridian. Four reference points are one cm away from the corresponding meridian points, respectively. Light propagates better along the meridian than the reference path with more than twenty percent difference for all the subjects tested.

The systems with probe and SIL(Solid Immersion Lens) mechanisms have been researched as the technology to perform NFR(Near Field Recording). Most of them use the flying head mechanism to accomplish high recording density and fast data transfer rate. In this paper, ABS shape of flying head was optimized with the object of securing the maximum compliance ability of OFH. We suggest low different optimization processes to predict the static flying characteristics for the OFH. Two different approximation methods, regression analysis and back propagation neural network were used. And we compared the result of directly connected(between CAE and optimizer) method and two approximated optimization results. Design Optimization Tool(DOT) and ${\mu}GA$ were used as the optimizers.

Signal propagation in nonlinear optical fiber is analyzed numerically by using SS-FEM (Split-Step Finite Element Method). By adopting cubic element function in FEM, soliton equation of which exact solution was well known, has been solved. Also, accuracy of numerical results and computing times are compared with those of Fourier method, and we have found that solution obtained from using FEM was very relatively accurate. Especially, to reduce CPU time in matrix computation in each step, the matrix imposed by the boundary condition is approximated as a sparse matrix. As a result, computation time was shortened even with the same or better accuracy when compared to those of the conventional FEM and Fourier method.

A dual loop optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) based on an acousto-optic modulator (AOM) for single mode operation with an acousto-optic delay line is demonstrated in this paper. When the OEO operates, the free spectral range is a function of the total loop length of the OEO, which is mainly dependent on the propagation time of the acoustic wave in the AOM. Due to the huge difference in the magnitude between the speed of light and the acoustic velocity in the AOM, the effective loop length converted to light-propagation length of the OEO increases to 3.8 km. With 150 MHz oscillation frequency, phase noise of -118 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz frequency offset, and -140 dBc/Hz at 200 kHz frequency offset, is achieved.

An electro-optic polymer digital optical switch with a coupling region modified for optimum mode coupling is proposed, and it is analyzed by using the beam propagation method combined with the effective index method. Its modified coupling region is adiabatically introduced along the propagation direction from the branching point of the two waveguides. The structure of the modified coupling region and its refractive index profiles are designed to optimize the mode coupling in the Y-branch waveguide. Therefor, the switching performance of the device may be enhanced with a fixed device length. It is confirmed from the numerical calculation that the drive voltage is reduced by more than 30 percents and te crosstalk is improved by about 8dB.

A novel 2$\times$2 switching characteristics are investigated. This switching characteristics are obtained in the multimode interference waveguide structure. For analysis, beam propagation method (BPM) based on mode propagation theory is used. As a result, the extinction ratio of higher than 11.74dB is achieved.

We report design and simulation of a two-dimensional (2D) silicon-based nanophotonic crystal as an optical insulator to enhance the light emission efficiency of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The device was designed in a manner that a triangular array silicon photonic crystal light insulator has a square trench in the middle where LED can be placed. By varying the normalized radius in the range of 0.3-0.5 using plane wave expansion method (PWEM), we found that the normalized radius of 0.45 creates a large band gap for transverse electric (TE) polarization. Subsequently a series of light propagation simulation were carried out using 2D and three-dimensional (3D) finite-difference time-domain (FDTD). The designed silicon-based light insulator device shows optical characteristics of a region in which light propagation was forbidden in the horizontal plane for TE light with most of the visible light spectrum in the wavelength range of 450 nm to 600 nm.

무선광통신은 RF보다 고속도 대용량 정보전송이 가능하며, 높은 안테나이득을 얻을 수 있다. 그러나, 무선광통신에서 사용하는 대기채널은 흡수 교란 산란 등의 현상이 문제되고 있다. 이 현상들은 광무선통신시스템의 성능을 제한한다. 본 논문은 그 중에서 교란의 현상을 줄이기 위해 교란강도측정기와 광무선LAN을 제작하고, (2,1,6) 길쌈부호기와 비터비복호기를 사용하여 통신성능을 개선한 다음, 이를 실험적으로 확인하였다. 또한, 산란이 광무선통신시스템의 성능에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 각 기상조건과 상, 하향링크에 따른 지구국안데나 직경을 수치해석하여 그 결과를 제시하였다.
