In this paper, we report measurement of absorption coefficient for various InGaAs MQW QCSE device structures. The absorption spectra over a range of QCSE were obtained from measured photocurrent spectra. The refractive index changes with applied electric field were calculated from the absorption spectra.

본 논문에서는 최저 손실 파장인 1.55cmum에서 단일모드 광섬유 특성을 연구하기 위하여 사다리꼴 분포를 일반화 시킨 이중굴적율 분포 [a승분포(a=2-$\infty$)+삼각형분포]를 제안하고 색분산 특성[색분산을 영(zero)으로 하는 최적 코어반경, 상대 굴적율차의 최소치, 파장에 대한 색분산의 변화율]을 구하였다. 그리고 파장 1.55um에서 계단형 분포보다 큰 코어 직경을 갖는 삼각형 분포와 특성을 비교해서 좋은 특성을 얻을 수 있었고, a의 값을 2-$\infty$범위로 변화시키면서 특성을 구한 결과 a의 값이 2 이상에서도 거의 같은 특성을 얻었다. 그러므로 사다리꼴 분포의 계단형 부분이 a승 분포(a=2-$\infty$) 형태로 제조되어도 같은 특성을 가지는 이론적 연구결과를 얻었다. 또한 본 논문에서 제안한 굴절율 분포는 a의 값에 따라서 여러 굴절율 분포를 나타내므로, 다중 크래딩 광섬유, Segmentaed Core Fiber 등에 이 굴절율 분포를 적용하여 여러 특성을 연구할 수 있다.

We present an analytic equation for the reflectivity spectrum of a Bragg reflector in terms of the front mirror reflectivity, due to the refractive index difference between the refractive index of outside medium and the average refractive index of Bragg reflector structures, and the reflectivity of a Bragg reflector calculated by the coupled wave method. We show that even Fresnel reflection causes the reflectivity spectrum of a bragg reflector to be very different from that of Bragg reflectors calculated by the coupled wave method. The reflectivity spectrum of a Bragg reflector is dramatically changed because the interference effect between the reflected wave from the front facet and that from the Bragg reflector is changed due to the difference of a phase change from a Bragg reflector when the sequence of layers in a Bragg reflector is changed.

We propose a new pH-sensing scheme using a methylene blue adsorption on an optical fiber cladding surface. Interactions between the silica and hydroxyl ions of a base solution induce the surface of the silica negatively charged. The charged surface attracts the positively charged chromophores of methylene blue. As the pH of the solution is reduced, the electrostatic attraction will also be reduced. This electrostatic attraction can change the transmitted light intensity of the cladding mode, since the boundary condition changes. We also carried out a simulation to verify the effect from external refractive index change around a long-period fiber grating. Our results confirm that the wavelength shift by external refractive index change is negligible compared to the transmitted light intensity variation of the cladding mode. By using a long-period grating pair, we can detect the cladding mode transmittance variations. Experimentally, we showed the possibility of pH sensing in the $1.5{\mu}m$ infrared region.

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.

Commercial applications of indium tin oxide (ITO) can be separated into two useful areas. As it is perceived to bear electrical properties and optical transparency at once, its chance to apply to promising fields, usually for an optical device, gets greater in the passing time. ITO is one of the transparent conducting oxides (TCO), and required to carry the relative resistance less than $10^{-3}{\Omega}$/cm and transmittances over 80 % in the visible wavelength of light. Because ITO has considerable refractive index, there exist applications for anti-reflection coatings. Anti-reflection properties require gradual change in refractive index from films to air. Such changes are obtained from film density or nano-clustered fractional void. Glancing angle deposition (GLAD) method is a well known process for adjusting nanostructure of the films. From its shadowing effects, GLAD helps to deposit well-controlled porous films effectively. In this study, we are comparing the reference sample to samples coated with controlled ITO multilayer accumulated by an e-beam evaporation system. At first, the single ITO layer samples are prepared to decide refractive index with ellipsometry. Afterwards, ITO multilayer samples are fabricated and fitted by multilayer ellipsometric model based on single layer data. The structural properties were measured by using atomic force microscopy (AFM), and by scanning X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. The ellipsometry was used to determine refractive indices and extinction coefficient. The optical transmittance of the film was investigated by using an ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer.

투명 polycarbonate(PC) 시트의 낮은 표면강도 문제를 극복하기 위해, 고굴절률을 보이는 유-무기 혼성 하드코팅 용액을 Sol-Gel 법을 이용하여 제조하였다. 코팅용액은 무기물 티타니아의 전구체인 TTIP(titanium tetraisopropoxide)에 유기물을 함유한 화합물인 GPTMS[(3-glycidoxypropyl) trimethoxysilane]를 첨가하여 제조하였다. 그 후 기재인 PC 시트에 스핀 코팅시키고, 열 경화 시켜 고굴절률을 보이는 하드코팅 필름을 제조 하였다. 코팅 용액 중의 GPTMS 함유량을 변화시킴에 의해 1.53-1.61의 굴절률을 갖는 코팅 막의 제조가 가능하였다. GPTMS의 첨가량이 증가할수록 코팅막의 굴절률은 감소하였으나, 연필경도는 증가하였다.

In this paper, we report numerically calculated results of testing a temperature-insensitive refractive sensor based on a planar-type long-period waveguide grating (LPWG). The LPWG consists of properly chosen polymer materials with an optimized thermo-optic coefficient for the core layer in a four-layer waveguide structure. The resonant wavelength shift below the spectral resolution of the conventional optical spectrum analyzer is obtained accurately over a temperature change of ${\pm}7.5^{\circ}C$ even without any temperature control. The refractive index sensitivity of the proposed grating scheme is about 0.004 per resonant wavelength shift of 0.1 nm for an optimized thermo-optic coefficient.

이중 이온빔 스퍼터링(Dual ion-Beam Sputtering, DIBS)과 단일 이온빔 스피터링(Single ion-Beam Sputtering, SIBS)을 사용하여 기판의 온도와 보조 이온빔 에너지 변화에 따라 $Ta_{2}O_{5}$ 박막의 광학적 특성과 박막에 존재하는 응력의 변화에 과해 관찰하였다. SIBS 방법에 의해 증착되어진 박막의 굴절률은 150^{circ}C$에서 최고 2.144를 나타내었으며, $150^{circ}C$ 이상에서는 감소하였다. DIBS 방법에 의해 증착된 732린 박막은 기판의 온도가 증가함에 따라 $200^{circ}C$에서 최고 2.117의 굴절률을 나타내었다. $100^{circ}C$ 미만의 저온 DIBS 증착은 박막에 존재하는 응력을 낮추었으나 100^{circ}C 이상의 고온 증착시에는 박막에 존재하는 응력이 켰다. 보조 이온빔 어시스트 한 경우, 보조 이온빔 에너지가 250V에서 350V로 증가함에 따라 증착된 T놀달 박막의 굴절률은 2.185로 증가하였으나, $350\~650V$인 구간에서는 굴절률이 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 또한, 보조 이온빔 에너지가 증가함으로써 박막에 존재하는 응력이 감소하여 650 V에서 0.1834 GPa를 나타내었다.
