지금까지 측면이 코어 가까이 연마된 잔일모드 광섬유와 평면 도파로 사이의 광결합을 이용한 소자들이 많이 연구되고 있다. 이를 이용한 소자들로는 광필터, 광변조기, 광스위치, 굴절계, 편광기 등이 있으며 최근에는 파장분할다중화(WDM)에서 인접채널간의 채널분리를 위한 소자로서 빗살필터의 연구 또한 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 측면이 코어 가까이 연마된 단일모드 광섬유와 평면도파로 사이의 광결합을 이용한 빗살필터를 제작하였으며 열광학 효과를 이용하여 파장 가변 빗살 필터를 구현해 보았다. (중략)

The Near to Eye Display (NED) solves the problem of having a display larger than a small portable device. The virtual image of the NED is created using a microdisplay and imaging optics. It is important that the optics does not interfere with the human visual system and that the device is light, compact and easy to wear. In this paper the principles of a biocular NED, which is based on a novel diffractive Exit Pupil Expander (EPE), are presented. The optical system is compact and intrinsically free from distortions and misalignments.

광섬유-평면도파로 결합기는 측면 연마된 광섬유와 그 위에 올려진 평면도파로 사이의 소산장 결합(evanescent field coupling)를 이용하는 소자이다. 이 결합기는 기본적으로 파장선택성과 편광선택성을 있고, 삽입손실이 매우 작고 기계적 신뢰성이 우수하여 많은 주목을 받아 왔다. 평면도파로의 재료로 반도체, 크리스탈, 액정크리스탈, 폴리머등 다양한 물질이 이용될 수 있어 광통신뿐만 아니라 광 센서 분야에서 활발하게 연구되어 왔다. (중략)

광섬유형 센서는 전자기적 간섭에 강하고 높은 감도와 원거리 측정 등의 장점뿐만 아니라 낮은 삽입 손실, 높은 기계적인 신뢰성, 원거리 측정과 같은 장점을 가지고 있어 광통신 기술뿐 아니라 기초과학및 응용 과학분야의 계측에 활발히 이용되고 있다. 온도센서의 경우 센서의 재료가 온도에 견디는 정도에 따라 측정범위가 좌우되므로 광섬유형 센서의 경우 넓은 온도범위에서 측정이 가능하며 다양한 구조의 센서구현이 용이하다. (중략)

The amplification method using evanescent wave coupling has a long history and has been widely used as a new lasing method, especially, in the waveguide optics$^{(1)}$ . In particular, it has been observed experimentally that when the light wave propagating in a dielectric medium is totally reflected at the planar interface between the dielectric and a pumped active medium, the reflectance may be greater than unity, i.e., amplification is possible$^{(2)}$ . There were several attempts by other authors to explain this enhanced internal reflection (EIR) classically$^{(3)}$ . They commonly introduced a complex refractive index for the active medium with its imaginary part being negative, and this scheme was also used to describe an amplification process in a waveguide having active-cladding region$^{(4)}$ . However these theories are phenomenological, using macroscopic constants, and therefore a microscopic theory is needed to understand EIR in a fundamental level. (omitted)

In arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) devices whose waveguides were composed of polymer with negative thermo-optic coefficient as overcladding, and silica with positive thermo-optic coefficient as both core and undercladding, we investigated the temperature dependence of the central wavelength using two-dimensional SFDM. From these results, it was confirmed that the temperature dependence can be nearly eliminated by adjusting the refractive index of the cladding and the thickness of the silica thin film upper-loaded on the core. Based on the numerical calculations, the AWG device with polymer overcladding was fabricated. and its optical characteristics were compared with those of the orginal silica AWG device. The introduction of polymer overcladding decreased the temperature dependence of the central wavelength from 0.0130 nm/$^{\circ}C$ to 0.0028 nm/$^{\circ}C$ without deteriorating the insertion loss and crosstalk characteristics.

We have demonstrated a high-power widely tunable sampled grating distributed Bragg reflector (SGDBR) laser integrated monolithically with a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) having a lateral tapered waveguide, which is the first to emit a fiber-coupled output power of more than 10 dBm using a planar buried heterostructure (PBH). The output facet reflectivity of the integrated SOA using a lateral tapered waveguide and two-layer AR coating of $TiO_2\;and\;SiO_2$ was lower than $3\;{\times}\;10^{-4}\;over$ a wide bandwidth of 85 nm. The spectra of 40 channels spaced by 50 GHz within the tuning range of 33 nm were obtained by a precise control of SG and phase control currents. A side-mode suppression ratio of more than 35 dB was obtained in the whole tuning range. Fiber-coupled output power of more than 11 dBm and an output power variation of less than 1 dB were obtained for the whole tuning range.

Silver ion-exchanged glass waveguide with its large surface index difference and shallow depth is suitable to be used for the hybrid integration of semiconductor device and glass waveguide using the semiconductor film grafting technique. We report characteristics of the planar and channel glass waveguides exchanged in the diluted silver nitrate melt in the visible and infrared spectral region. Especially, we determined the fabrication parameters for single-mode channel waveguide at 1.5.$\mu$m, an important wavelength in the optical communication. Directional couplers with several different configurations were fabricated, and their 3 dB coupling length was determined as a function of wavelenGh and polarization.

Optical fiber temperature sensor, using resonance wavelength shifting of single mode fiber-to-planar waveguide coupler by heat, was fabricated. Thermo-optic polymers, have large change of refractive index due to heat, were used for planar waveguide. The device fabrication procedure including fiber polishing steps was illustrated and the device structure with independent polarization was demonstrated experimentally. The resonance wavelength difference of fabricated device was less than 2nm. The resonance wavelength shifting owing to temperature variation, from room temperature($24^{\circ}C$) to $90^{\circ}C$, was showed $-0.54nm/^{\circ}C$, $-3nm/^{\circ}C$.

In this paper, a novel platform for chemical sensing and biosensing is presented. The working principle is based on the coupling efficiency and interference properties of optical directional coupler (DC) and multimode interference coupler (MMIC). It has been realized using planar technology to allow integration on a silicon substrate. Firstly, the dispersion curves of DC and MMIC is described, and the design specification of an optimized slot optical waveguide to increase waveguide sensitivity is selected. Next, the sensor response to the refractive index change of sensing analyte is numerically simulated. The numerical results reveal that high effective index change per refractive index unit (RIU) change of analyte is obtained, and the sensitivity can be tuned using the DC and MMIC design technique.
