A novel four-channel narrowband wavelength demultiplexer using integrated four vertical directional coupler structures is proposed and theoretically investigated. Four ridge waveguide with different ridge width are vertically coupled to a strip-loaded waveguide which results four different wavelengths filtered out to each ridge waveguide. In order to reduce the side-lobes, the coupling coefficients are varied along the propagation direction. The spectral responses of channels were found to be quite uniform. An average channel spacing of 7 nm with power coupling efficiency of ~90%, 3-dB passband width of 2 nm, and 20 dB side-lobe suppression ratio was achieved.

We use conformal mapping method to derive the analytical expressions for calculating electrostatic fields and electric potentials surrounding the conductor-backed coupled coplanar waveguide(CBCCPW) structure. Using the derived expressions, the electrostatic fields and potentials are computed at various points of the CBCCPW's geometry and the field and potential distributions are analyzed. The proposed method provides a faster and simpler calculation of the field distributions than the full-wave analysis method because no iterations are required. This method can be widely applied to the analysis of microwave integrated circuits using coupled line, such as coupler, filter, and microstrip antenna.

A sensitive optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy-based immunosensor was developed to detect vitellogenin in seawater flatfish (Paralichthys olivaceus). For this purpose, anion-exchange column chromatography with DE-52 resin was used to purify flatfish vitellogenin from flatfish serum containing vitellogenin that had been induced using an intraperitoneal $17{\beta}$-estradiol injection. The anti-flatfish vitellogenin antibody used as the biological component of the above immunosensor was prepared using the purified flatfish vitellogenin. The change in the incoupling angle according to the complexation between the flatfish vitellogenin and its antibody, immobilized over an optical grating coupler sensor chip, was measured to calculate the sensor response. The immunosensor was quite specific to flatfish vitellogenin binding, based on no sensor response in the case of bovine serum albumin immobilization. When plotted using double-logarithmic scales, the sensor responses increased linearly in flatfish vitellogenin concentrations of 0.00675-67.5 nM, with a detection limit of 0.0675 nM. The reusability during seven repetitive measurements was reasonably fair for the preliminary screening of flatfish vitellogenin.

This paper describes the development of a new type of an integrated optical filter using the frequency characteristics of a directly-connected directional coupler with a Rib waveguide. It has been designed for multiplexing and demultiplexing light froups in different wavelength regions. Also, the effects of higher modes, couplings between input waveguides or output waveguides, and dispersion of material are considered.

In the WKB analysis, we propose the new forms of the trial eigenfunctions which not only converge at the turning points but also approximate to the conventional WKB solutions away from the turning points. The eigenvalue equation of multiple waveguides with graded index profile are derived by using the proposed WKB analysis and the transfer matrix method. The drived equation sare represented in the recursive form. The results of the eigenvalue equation sare comapred with those of the FDM, one of the well-known computational methods, for a three-waveguide coupler.

광섬유-평면도파로 결합기는 평면도파로의 재료와 구조에 따라 다양한 응응이 가능하다. 특히 평면도파로의 전기광학 효과를 이용하면 고속 광변조 현상을 얻을 수 있다. 평면도파롱에 전기장을 인가하기 위해서는 두개의 도체 전극이 필요하다. 전극으로 주로 금속을 많이 이용하기 때문에 금속층이 포함된 광섬유-평면도파로 결합기의 특성을 연구하는 것이 요구된다. 본 논문에서 그림 1과 같이 금속 중간층이 포함된 광섬유-평면도파로 결합기의 구조의 동작특성을 측정하고 결과를 보고한다. (중략)

광섬유와 평면 도파로를 결합한 도파로 구조에서 광 결합 현상은 다양한 응용 가능성 때문에 이론적으로 또는 실험적으로 많은 연구가 되어오고 있다. 광섬유는 단일모드를 이용하고 적당한 곡률이 주어진 블록에 고정한 후 연마하여 클래딩의 일부를 제거하고, 그 상부에 다중모드 평면 도파로(Multi-Mode Overlay Waveguide; MMOW)를 구성한다. 제작된 결합기 구조에서 평면 도파로는 광섬유의 감쇠장 결합(Evanescent field coupling)을 유도하게 되므로, 소자의 특성은 평면 도파로의 구조와 조건에 의해 결정된다.

현재 발표된 공간 광스위치 구조들은 전자 스위치 및 전자 통신 분야에서 많이 이용된 Clos, Benes, Banyan, omega, shuffle network 등을 directional coupler switch, TIR(total internal reflection) switch, cross X switch 등 여러가지 단위 광스위치를 이용하여 고안한 것으로 서로 다른 장단점을 갖고 있다. 따라서 4 X 4나 8 X 8, 또는 그 이상의 확장된 광스위치를 제작하기 위해서는 이러한 기존 구조에 대한 조사 및 분석이 선행되어야 한다. 본 논문은 현재 개발되어 발표된 광스위치의 구조들을 조사하여 특성을 비교하였다.

We report the selective area bandgap tuning of multiple quantum well structures by an impurity free vacancy induced quantum well intermixing technique. A 3dB waveguide directional coupler was fabricated in the disordered section of an intermixed quantum well sample as a demonstration of photonic device applications.
