A scheme is proposed to generate triangular waveforms with alterable symmetry. The key component is a cascaded single-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (SD-MZM) and optical polarization beam splitter-combiner architecture. In this triangular waveform generator, the bias-induced phase shift, modulation index and controllable delay difference are changeable. To generate triangular waveform signals with different symmetry indexes, different combinations of these variables are selected. Compared with the previous schemes, this generator just contains one SD-MZM and the balanced photodetector (BPD) is not needed, which means the costs and energy consumption are significantly reduced. The operation principle of this triangular waveform generator has been theoretically analyzed, and the corresponding simulation is conducted. Based on the theoretical and simulated results, some experiments are demonstrated to prove the validity of the scheme. The triangular waveform signals with a symmetry factor range of 20-80% are generated. Both experiment and theory prove the feasibility of this method.

The beam splitter is important in optical communication systems. in this work, thc quasi-state based on four-mode interference in thc MMI coupler is proposed, and so, device length is shorten to be 1/5 of general designed length. We designed thc polarization splitter based on thc concept of quasi-state. Thc analysis has been accomplished by thc effective index method(EIM) and thc mode propagation analysis(MPA) for given structure.

Optimum Hamming apodized acousto-optic 2${\times}$2 add/drop multiplexers, using SiO$_2$ film loaded acoustic waveguide with angular offset to the Ti:LiNbO$_3$ waveguide, were fabricated. The four-port device consists of two input waveguides, a polarization beam splitter (PBS), two polarization conversion/acoustooptic tuning waveguide sections, a second PBS and two output waveguides. Insertion loss <7.1 ㏈ has been obtained and side-lobe of -19 ㏈ for -32 ㎽ RF driving power has been realized. Add/drop performance has been confirmed and a linear tuning rate of 8.1 nm/MHz and a 3 ㏈ spectral width of -1.5 nm were demonstrated.

측면 연마 광섬유 결합기는 비록 제작 공정이 다소 복잡하지만 다양한 응용이 가능하기 때문에 많은 연구가 진행 되어 왔다. 특히 최근에는 광센서나 초고속 광통신망에 편광 유지 광섬유를 이용한 광학소자의 필요성이 증가 하고 있다. 본 논문은 얇은 중간 금속 층을 가지는 측면 연마 편광 유지 광섬유 결합기를 이용한 편광 분리기에 관한 실험 연구 결과를 보고한다. (중략)

The reflectance and transmittance of dielectric films at nonzero angle of incidence show strong polarization effects, and for many applications these effects are not desirable. In this work, some design methods are introduced, and we designed the nonpolarizing beam splitter using the outest equivalent quarter-wave layers. During this, the reflectances are varied under the constant optical thickness.

1946년 S M MacNeille에 의해 연구된 유전체 다층 박막을 이용한 편광광속분리기는 브르스터 각 편광광속분리기(Brewster angle polarizing beam splitter) 혹은 맥닐 프리즘(MacNeille prism)으로 알려져 있으며 지금도 많은 광학계에서 사용되고 있다. 맥닐 프리즘은 두 개의 프리즘 사이의 빗면에 높은 굴절률( $n_{H}$ )을 갖는 물질과 낮은 굴절률( $n_{L}$ )을 갖는 물질을 λ/4 광학두께로 교번으로 한 고반사 다층박막 구조를 갖는다. 각 층의 경계면에서 브르스터 각으로 입사할 경우 p-편광파는 투과하고 s-편광파는 부분적으로 반사한다. 편광광속분리 정도는 p-편광파와 s-편광파의 투과율( $T_{p}$, $T_{s}$ ) 혹은 반사율( $R_{p}$, $R_{s}$ )의 비로 나타내며 이를 소광비(extinction ratio)라 한다.

A robust optical security technique using ortho-gonally polarized lights in the interferometer is proposed. We use orthogonally polarized lights in order to minimize the noise generated by the refractive index change due to vibration, flow of air, change of temperature etc. To make orthogonally polarized lights the first beam splitter in the Mach-Zehnder interferometer is substituted by a polarizing beam splitter(PBS). Because of incoherence of orthogonally polarized lights, the noise generated by the change of refractive index is minimized. To encrypt an image we use the random partition and the diffusing of pixel. Finally we make Phase-only-filters of each image which is randomly partitioned and diffused pixel by pixel. Simulation results show the proposed system has the ability of encryption and decryption of an image.

Based on a semiconductor optical amplifier and sampled fiber Bragg gratings, polarization-controlled waveband switching in multiwavelength fiber laser is successfully demonstrated at room temperature by using high polarization selectivity of a polarization beam splitter. A multiwavelength-switching operation between eight and six laser lines with signal to noise ratio over 35 dB and wavelength spacing of ${\sim}0.8nm$ has been successfully demonstrated. The switching displacement of the proposed laser was ${\sim}7.1nm$. The intensity unevenness between different laser lines was measured to be less than 6.5 dB. The switching displacement between wavebands (groups of contiguous wavelengths), wavelength channels, and their spacings can be flexibly designed by the selected comb filters.

By incorporating a polarization-diversity loop configuration (PDLC), we have demonstrated inline conversion between transmission and reflection spectra of a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) without reconfiguration of the fiber filter structure. The proposed apparatus consists of a polarization beam splitter, an FBG, and two quarter-wave plates (QWP's). The inline conversion operation between transmission and reflection spectra of the FBG was performed by proper adjustment of QWP's within the proposed filter. The band rejection ratio and side-mode suppression ratio in transmission and reflection modes of the fabricated filter were measured as ~17.0[dB] and ~16.4[dB], respectively.
