A novel multi-section power divider configuration is Proposed to obtain wide-band frequency performance up to microwave frequency region. Design procedures for the proposed microwave broadband power divider are composed of a Planar multi-section three-Ports hybrid and a waveguide transformer design procedures. The multi∼section power divider is based on design theory of the optimum quarter- wave transformer Furthermore, in order to obtain the broadband isolation performance between the two adjacent output ports, the odd mode equivalent circuit should be matched by using the lossy element such as resistor. The derived design formula for calculating these odd mode∼matching elements is based on the singly terminated filter design theory. The waveguide transformer section is designed to suppress the propagation of the higher order modes such as waveguide modes due to employing the metallic electric wall. Simulation and experiment show excellent performance of multi section power divider.

This paper describes an effective method for forming silicon oxide on silica-on-silicon platforms, which results in excellent characteristics for hybrid integration. Among the many processes involved in fabricating silica-on-silicon platforms with planar lightwave circuits (PLCs), the process for forming silicon oxide on an etched silicon substrate is very important for obtaining transparent silica film because it determines the compatibility at the interface between the silicon and the silica film. To investigate the effects of the formation process of the silicon oxide on the characteristics of the silica PLC platform, we compared two silicon oxide formation processes: thermal oxidation and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). Thermal oxidation in fabricating silica platforms generates defects and a cristobalite crystal phase, which results in deterioration of the optical waveguide characteristics. On the other hand, a silica platform with the silicon oxide layer deposited by PECVD has a transparent planar optical waveguide because the crystal growth of the silica has been suppressed. We confirm that the PECVD method is an effective process for silicon oxide formation for a silica platform with excellent characteristics.

The coupled and propagated property of the composite side-polished fiber and infinite planar waveguide with conductor cladding (PWGCC) is presented by using the 3-D finite difference beam propagating method (FD-BPM) in according to the variety of refractive indexes between the fiber and the infinite planar waveguide. It is also introduced for the technique to be applied at and consisted of the analysis domain of 3-D FD-BPM for the coupling between the side-polished fiber and PWG. It is also compared the properties of coupling between the side-polished fiber and PWGCC with them of the general symmetric and asymmetric PWG without perfect conductor (PEC), which has been investigated by many researcher.

Optical waveguide based on symmetric and asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer(MZI) type was designed, fabricated and measured the optical characteristics for the application of biosensor. The wavelength of the input optical signal for the device was 1550 nm. And the difference of refractive index was $0.45\;{\Delta}\%$ between core and cladding of the device. The TM(Transverse Magnetic) mode optical properties of the biosensor were analyzed with the refractive index variation of gold thin film deposited for overclad. Nowadays, nano-photonic crystal structures have been paied much attention for its high optical sensitivity. There is a technique to realize the structure, which is called Dip-Pen Nanolithography(DPN) process. The process requires a nano-scale process patterning resolution and high reliability. In this paper, two dimensional nano-photonic crystal array on the surface was proposed for improving the sensitivity of optical biosensor. And the Dip-Pen Nanolithogrphy process was investigated to realize it.

We propose a new expression of the near-field gain correction to calculate the on-axis far-field gain from the onaxis near-field gain for a directive antenna. The new expression is represented by transversal vectorial transmitting characteristics of two antennas that are measured by planar near-field equipment. Due to the advantages of the photonic sensor, the utilization of the new expression realizes the measurements of the on-axis far-field gains for two kinds of double ridged waveguide horn antennas within 0.1 dB deviation from 1 GHz to 6 GHz without calibrating the photonic sensor system.

This letter describes a compact printed helical resonator and its application to a microwave oscillator circuit implemented in coplanar waveguide (CPW) technology. The high quality (Q)-factor and spurious-free characteristic of the resonator contribute to the phase noise reduction and the harmonic suppression of the resulting oscillator circuit, respectively. The designed resonator showed a loaded Q-factor of 180 in a chip area of only 40% of the corresponding miniaturized hairpin resonator without any spurious resonances. The fully planar oscillator incorporated with this resonator showed an additional phase noise reduction of 10.5 dB at a 1 MHz offset and a second harmonic suppression enhancement of 6 dB when compared to those of a conventional CPW oscillator without the planar helical resonator structure.
