This paper proposes a new polarization-independent Sagnac birefringence loop structure-based multiwavelength-periodic filter and presents measurements and analysis of its spectrum. The filter can be used in several schemes by adjusting the orientation angles of two quarter waveplates and the operating characteristics in the reflection type are analyzed including dispersion and polarization mode dispersion at each principal axis. This filter has polarization-independent spectra but a polarization-dependent dispersion, consequently polarization mode dispersion whose values changes with operating schemes.

In this paper, we propose a Lyot-type optical fiber comb filter based on a polarization-diversity loop structure (PDLS), which has flat-top pass bands and multiwavelength switching capability. Generally, the PDLS can remove the dependency of the filter on input polarization. The proposed filter is composed of a polarization beam splitter, two half-wave plates (HWPs), and two polarization-maintaining fiber loops concatenated with a $60^{\circ}$ offset between their principal axes. By controlling two HWPs, it can operate in a flat-top band mode or a lossy flat-top band mode with an inherent insertion loss of ~3.49dB. In particular, flat-top bands can be interleaved in both modes, which cannot be realized in a Lyot-Sagnac comb filter based on a fiber coupler. Compared with Solc-type high-order comb filters with the same order, the proposed filter shows sharper transition between pass and stop bands.

In this paper, we propose a second-order fiber flexible comb filter based on a polarization-diversity loop(PDL). The proposed filter consists of a polarization beam splitter, four half-wave plates(HWPs), and three high birefringence fiber(HBF) segments. In the previous Solc-type second-order filter based on the PDL, HBF segments were fusion-spliced with a fixed angle offset between their principal axes with each other. But, the proposed filter implemented by inserting two HWPs between three HBF segments has a great flexibility in adjusting relative angular difference between the principal axes of two adjacent HBF segments. Owing to this flexibility, second-order transmission spectra, which had a channel spacing of ~0.8nm, could be interleaved by controlling the orientation angles of four HWPs. The output transmission spectra of the proposed filter were theoretically analyzed and experimentally verified.

The electrooptic properties of the reflected light in a reflective mode, $45^{\circ}C$twisted nematic liquid crystal (TNLC) cell were investigated in the voltage regions near and away from the Freedericksz transition threshold. The measured reflectivity away from the threshold voltage ($V_th$) could not be described by the model which assurnes a constant tilt angle as well as a linearized distribution of twist angle across the cell, although the data are well fitted near $V_th$. We found that in the voltage region away from $V_th$, the model considering the distributions of the tilt angle and the twist angle should be applied for the calculation of the reflectivity. The director-axis distributions were obtained from the numerical integration of the Euler-Lagrange equation.

본 논문에서는 PDL 기반 인터리빙 가능한 2차 Solc형 광유 간섭 필터를 제안하며, 출력되는 투과 스펙트럼들을 이론적으로 분석 및 실험적으로 측정하였다. 제안된 필터에서 각각의 구성요소는 편광 빔분배기, 반파장판, 그리고 복굴절이 큰 광섬유로 이루어진다. 이전의 Solc형 2차 광섬유 필터에서 복굴절이 큰 광섬유들은 특정한 각도로 융착 결합되어 편광 제어에 한계가 있었지만, 제안된 구조에서는 복굴절이 큰 광섬유 사이 반파장판을 삽입하여 주축의 각도 및 편광 제어를 유연하게 설정하여 출력 투과 스펙트럼들의 스위칭 특성을 유도하였다.
