An external cavity laser supporting two wavelengths is demonstrated by incorporating polymer waveguide Bragg reflectors and a superluminescent light-emitting diode. An oversized rib waveguide structure and Bragg gratings are designed by using the effective-index and transmission-matrix methods. Bragg gratings with different periods are inscribed on a polymer waveguide through double-exposure laser interferometry. In order to tune the cavity loss affected by the reflectivity of Bragg gratings, a Bragg reflectors with varying length is incorporated. Two-wavelength-mode lasing is achieved for the device consisting of 2-mm long, 537-nm period gratings and 2.2-mm long, 540-nm period gratings; the lasing wavelengths are 1554 nm and 1564 nm, with an output power close to 0 dBm, a 20-dB bandwidth of 0.2 nm, and a side-mode suppression ratio of 45 dB.

A spurious suppressed bandpass filter is proposed and discussed using the stepped impedance resonator(SIR) on a substrate-integrated waveguide(SIW) structure with a double-layer substrate. The second resonance of the fundamental $TE_{10}$ mode can be controlled by adjusting the electrical length and impedance ratio of each SIR. The spurious suppressed SIW bandpass filter shows the measurement results of the insertion loss of 3.98 dB and return loss of less than 11.58 dB at the center frequency of 12 GHz. Also, the second spurious frequency is improved to about $1.5f_0$ compared with $1.33f_0$.

The dielectric slab waveguide is fabricated on the slide glass or oxidized silicon wafer, by spin coating polyurethane, epoxy or photoresist, and the phenomenon of dielectric waveguiding is oboerved. Using the fact that the refractive index of K.P.R. is larger than that of polyurethane, thin film prism with two layered structure is fabricated, and the refraction of light is observed.

Using a mode-matching technique, a waveguide structure with multiple stubs which is utilized as the component of various communication systems has frequency filtering characteristics. We define a proper fitness function to automatically design the pass and stop bands of a waveguide structure with multiple stubs for frequency filtering and the genetic algorithm can be implemented with the fitness function proposed in this paper. The frequency filtering characteristics are numerically computed and parametric sweeps are also performed.

The simplified spot-size convert for optical network has been suggested. We have analyzed the mode field distribution and optimized the spot-size converter using beam propagation method. The designed structure was consisted of straight waveguide and taper waveguide using polymer. The efficiency of the designed spot-size converter was over 99%.

Approximations inherent in the Cohn synthesis theory, which is generally perferree as a convinient design technique for direct-couple waveguide filter, results in considerable devications from the required responses as the design bandwidth increases. In this paper, two main deviations likely to occur in practice are examined using the mode-matching technique. They are a shift in couoff frquencies and large return loss occuring near coutoff frequencyles. Using the power loss ratio, the first effect is corrected to the resulant filter structure from cohn synthesis. In order to show the validity of the intorduced approackes. Ka-band waveguide filter ahs been designed and manufactored. The experimental curve follow the expected curves after corrections fairly closly.

We implement the E-plane T-juncition manifold mutiplexer having low insertion loss for output multiplexer of Ku-band satellite transponder. Manifold multiplexer implemented here is composed of 2 channel filters, T-junctions, half-wave waveguide connecting channel filters and manifold, and manifold itself.[1-4] Considering the mass and volume of the satellite transponder, the channel filters are designed to dual-mode.[5-13] And Elliptic filter function is used, which has good characteristics of suppressing the interference between 2 channels. Since the performance of manifold multiplexer depends on the manifold waveguide transmission line length, it's necessary proper analysis. In this paper, we do optimization process of T-junction and other elements by using CAD and implement the manifold multiplexer. An experiment shows that characteristic response of multiplexer matches wel its modeling result.

LIGA(Lithographie Galvanoformung Abformung), a fabrication method for the production of microstructrues with a high aspect ratio, is now playing an important role in a fabrication of polymeric optical waveguide device as the replication processes have been developed such as hot embossing and injection molding. The present report deals with the fabrication of Ni master used for the replication of multi-mode polymeric optical waveguide. With the basic technological features in the sequence of the LIGA technique, we fabricated Ni master with 12 channel microstructures of $100\;{\times}\;100{\mu}m\;^2{\times}\;60mm$, and achieved an accuracy of ${\pm}1\;{\mu}m$. Manufactured polymeric optical wavegude with the same using hot embossing process has also the same accuracy and approved its mass production capability.

New method to calculate the characteristics of the dominant and higher order modes of waveguide latching phase shifters are presented. Due to the tensor permeability, E and H fields inside the ferrite are expanded in terms of the LSE and LSM eigenmodes of the dielectric-slab-loaded waveguide. The equivalent coupled transmission line equations on the transverse plane are derived to obtain the dispersion characteristics and the E and H field distributions. Numerical results at X-band are compared with those published previously. The derived field distributions can be used to suppress the higher order modes of the latching phase shifters, so that the phase shift from the dominant mode only contributes the performance of the phase shifters.

We made a pyramidal horn antenna system for 21cm cosmic radio wave. The antenna system has a rectangular waveguide with $TE_{10}$ mode and a copper probe to detect the electromagnetic wave in waveguide. The parameters of the probe are obtained by experiments using two waveguides. Pyramidal horn antenna is designed to get a gain of 20dB. The size of the aperture of this horn is $94cm{\times}74cm$. The beam width of half power is about $14.7^{\circ}$ for the frequency of 1.4GHz. The horn is made of aluminum plate with a thickness of 2mm. The signal from horn and waveguide is amplified in a receiver system and is converted into DC in the detecter. The intensity of the signal is recorded on a chart recorder. We observed the sun using this simple radio telescope and obtained the brightness temperature of $2.2{\times}10^5K$, which indicates that the sun is quiet at 21cm.
