We have fabricated a LiNbO$_3$ travelling-wave optical modulator. The travelling-wave modulator consisted of M-Z(Mach-Zehnder) interferometer and CPW(Coplanar Waveguide) travelling-wave electrodes. Design of CPW electrodes were performed by SOR(Successive Over Relaxation) to obtain the conditions of Microwave effective index and impedance matching. The fabricated modulator had -3.2 dB insertion loss, and S$_{11}$ below -15 dB up to 12 GHz, S$_{21}$ better than -3 dB upto 7 GHz. It turned out that the optical response showed the 3 dB bandwidth of above 12 GHz.

A 40 channel arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG) filter operating in C-band and L-band wavelength regions has been fabricated using PLC (Planar Lightwave Circuit) processes with 0.75 refractive index difference. Its design was optimized for matching the center wavelength with the ITU-recommended wavelength. The characteristics of the fabricated C-band AWG are as follows; average insertion loss < 2.5 dB, polarization-dependent loss < 0.3 dB, non-adjacent crosstalk >35dB, and the loss uniformity of 0.8 dB. In the L-band AWG, wavelength accuracy is below 0.02nm.

In order to realize a 3-D stereoscopic display module with alternating illumination angles, several conditions required for a lenticular lens sheet were established, and then both the lens specification and the module structure were designed. Also the performance of the stereoscopic module and its tolerance characteristics were evaluated by simulating the intensity distribution on the observation plane with a finite-ray tracing technique. From the evaluation, it was known that an intersection area between two adjacent lenses should not be filled and that the lateral mismatch between a planar liquid crystal shutter and a lens sheet should be minimized.

By incorporating large core polymer waveguides, which have been developed for increased alignment tolerance in passive fiber attachment, highly efficient variable optical attenuators are proposed. In order to find optimum device structures, 3-dimensional beam propagation method (BPM) simulations are performed. Heat distribution over the polymer film is calculated to find the 3-dimensional index profile data for the BPM simulation. Due to the small index contrast between the core and cladding materials in the large core waveguide, heat-induced radiation occurs for small heating power. While the ordinary VOA needs the temperature to change over $150^{\circ}C$ for 20 dB attenuation, the large core VOA requires only $70^{\circ}C$. In addition to the merit of passive fiber attachment, the proposed VOA has enhanced attenuation efficiency for the lower temperature change.

We proposed a B-RWG LD (Buried-ridge waveguide laser diode) having more merits than a conventional RWG-LD. It's ridge width is controlled easily, it has the advantage of being more planar than the RWG-LD and it is possible to control refractive index with growth layer thickness. Before fabricating the device, we designed the optimal device for single mode, high efficiency and high power operation. From theoretical analysis, we have to control the $d_2, d_3$ layer thicknesses for lateral effective index difference, $\Delta_{nL}$ to be higher than critical value, and simultaneously consider the ridge width for single mode and low threshold current operation. As a result, it is possible to make a single mode LD having the ridge width of $6~9{\mu}m$ if the lateral effective index difference was controlled properly. perly.

We designed the $1.3/1.55\mum$ WDM directional coupler and its coupling length was calculated with the variation of the two waveguide's core separation and other variables by the Fourier transformed scalar wave equation. We deposited the PSG films for optical waveguide by low pressure chemical vapor deposition and fabricated the WDM coupler using the laser lithography and $CF_4/O_2$ reactive ion etching process. A V -groove which was made to support and fix the optical fiber is fabricated on Si substrate by chemical etching. The WDM coupler and the V-groove are connected using UV curing epoxy. We found that propagation mode of each port of WDM coupler is single mode and maximum extinction ratio between two out ports is 6 dB for $1.3.\mum$, and 12 dB for $1.55\mum$. /TEX>.

This paper presents the design and simulation of a three-dimensional pixel-by-pixel scanning light detection and ranging (LIDAR) system with a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) scanning mirror and direct sequence optical code division multiple access (DS-OCDMA) techniques. It measures a frame with $848{\times}480$ pixels at a refresh rate of 60 fps. The emitted laser pulse waves of each pixel are coded with DS-OCDMA techniques. The coded laser pulse waves include the pixel's position in the frame, and a checksum. The LIDAR emits the coded laser pulse waves periodically, without idle listening time to receive returning light at the receiver. The MEMS scanning mirror is used to deflect and steer the coded laser pulse waves to a specific target point. When all the pixels in a frame have been processed, the travel time is used by the pixel-by-pixel scanning LIDAR to generate point cloud data as the measured result.

We report theoretical and experimental results for application of transmittance-controlled photomask technology to ArF lithography. The transmittance-controlled photomask technology is thought to be a promising technique fo critical dimension (CD) uniformity correction on a wafer by use of phase patterns on the backside of a photomask. We could theoretically reproduce experimental results for illumination intensity drop with respect to the variation of backside phase patterns by considering light propagation from the backside to the front side of a photomask at the ArF lithography wavelength. We applied the transmittance-controlled photomask technology to ArF lithography for a critical layer of DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) having a 110-nm design rule and found that the in-field CD uniformity value was improved from 13.8 nm to 9.7 nm in $3{\sigma}$.

We have preliminarily designed two infrared optical systems of the multi-purpose infrared camera system (MIRIS) which is the main payload of STSAT-3. Each optical system consists of a Cassegrain telescope, a field lens and a 1:1 re-imaging lens system that is essential for providing a cold stop. The Cassegrain telescope is identical for both of two infrared cameras, but the field correction lens and re-imaging lens system are different from each other because of different bands of wavelength. The effective aperture size is 100mm in diameter and the focal ratio is f/5. The total length of the optical system is 300mm and the position of the cold stop is 25mm from the detector focal plane. The RMS spot size is smaller than $40{\mu}m$ over the whole detector plane.
