We fabricated a buried-ridge waveguide laser diode (B-RWG LD) which has more advantages for obtaining lateral single mode operation on the same ridge width and for the planarization of the device surface, compared to the conventional RWG LD. In this LD, the difference of the lateral effective refractive index can be controlled by the thickness of the InGaAsP layer which is grown on the active and the p-InP layers. The InGaAsP multiple quantum well was grown on a n-InP substrate by the CBE. The buried ridge structure was formed by selective wet etchings, followed by liquid phase epitaxy methods. The fabricated LD with the ridge width of 7 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ showed a linear increase of the optical power up to 20 ㎽ without any kinks and a saturated output power of more than 80 ㎽. By measuring the far field pattern, we demonstrate that LDs with the ridge widths of 5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 7 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ were operated in a lateral single mode up to 2.7I$_{th}$ and 2.4I$_{th}$, respectively.ely.

In this paper, a novel triple-mode cavity structure, designed for compactness and operating at 850 MHz, is analyzed. A cylindrical dielectric resonator is loaded into a metallic cylindrical cavity. Previous study has been focused on the analysis of the cylindrical dielectric resonator, but in this paper, the effect of the cylindrical metallic cavity has been analyzed. Enclosing the dielectric resonator inside the metallic cavity increases the resonant frequency of the dielectric resonator; however, this increases the quality factor and introduces the possibility of installing coupling screws. The principle of generation of triple-mode was investigated by parametric analysis. The generated triple-mode is TE011 mode and two orthogonally generated HEM121 modes. By adjusting the radius of the dielectric resonator, the height of the dielectric resonator, or the radius of the cylindrical metallic cavity, three modes could be coincided. However, the height of the metallic cavity keeps three modes separated. The mode characteristics of the proposed cavity are analyzed using a full-wave electromagnetic (EM) simulation. The proposed triple-mode cavity could be developed to triple-mode filter using a coupling screw, and the commercial application for the miniaturized filter below 1 GHz could be expected.

In this paper, a modifed TE$_{113}$/TM$_{012}$ triple-mode bandpass filter is implemented by using a modified inter-cavity iris in which the number of slots are reduced upto 50%. In a coventioanl iris two prirs of slot apertures are used to independently couple three resonant modes between two adjacent cavities. However, if transverse magnetic polarizability of a pair of veritcal slot apertures is used to control weak horizontal TE$_{h}$-TE$_{h}$ mode coupling, the width of novel iris slots would substitute for the slot length of the conventional iris, causing to eliminate the horizontal slot apertures. The measured data of two filters, which are the modified filter and ocnventional one, are compared. Experimental result shows that the characteristics of the novel triple-mode filter matches well that of the conventional filter.

For an efficient calculation of scattering matrix in mode matching techniques, mode combination has been studied in this paper. A conducting post in rectangular waveguide, which is most commonly utilized in the combline filter structure, is adopted and its scattering matrix is derived. We eliminates the TE and TM modes having little influence on result, which results in the different number of TE and TM modes in each discontinuous region.

We have demonstrated a high-power widely tunable sampled grating distributed Bragg reflector (SGDBR) laser integrated monolithically with a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) having a lateral tapered waveguide, which is the first to emit a fiber-coupled output power of more than 10 dBm using a planar buried heterostructure (PBH). The output facet reflectivity of the integrated SOA using a lateral tapered waveguide and two-layer AR coating of $TiO_2\;and\;SiO_2$ was lower than $3\;{\times}\;10^{-4}\;over$ a wide bandwidth of 85 nm. The spectra of 40 channels spaced by 50 GHz within the tuning range of 33 nm were obtained by a precise control of SG and phase control currents. A side-mode suppression ratio of more than 35 dB was obtained in the whole tuning range. Fiber-coupled output power of more than 11 dBm and an output power variation of less than 1 dB were obtained for the whole tuning range.

The X-band 10${\times}$10 waveguide slot array antenna for SAR is designed, fabricated and measured. The array antenna is designed using the equivalent circuit model based on the field distribution of the dominant mode, TE$\sub$10/, and EM simulation. The method to decide optimum angle of the centered inclined slot(coupling slot) and the optimum of offset of the longitudinal slot(radiating slot) is provided.

In this paper, we designed and manufactured the Ku-band circular waveguide antenna to do wireless communication with a ground radar as on-board antenna of missile. Using the MATLAB and the HFSS, we designed the circular polarizer which has a characteristic of circular polarization and broadband using the capacitive pin method, the feeder to feed coaxial line to circular waveguide, and a stopper to prevent a conductor material from being inserted. Then we simulated the designed antenna using the HFSS, obtained the gain and the radiation pattern. Because of a difficulty of manufacture, we established a manufacture process procedure. Antenna is manufactured with this procedure, test results of the manufactured antenna are the axial ratio of 1.37 ~ 1.72, the 3 ㏈ beamwidth of $72.23^{\circ}{\sim}78.54^{\circ},$ and the gain of 3.26 ~ 4.61 ㏈ within frequency band. We knew that these results are similar with simulation results. Also, we confirmed that the manufactured antenna is satisfied with requirement conditions through performance test, environmental test and flight test.

Polymeric multi-mode optical waveguides were fabricated for parallel optical interconnection. Waveguide structures were molded by a Ni mold master using a hot embossing technique. The Ni mold master was manufactured by LIGA process. Multimode optical waveguides with a 48$\times$47 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$^2$cross-section were produced by a simple two-step process. The propagation losses of the multimode waveguide measured at 0.85 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 1.3 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ wavelengths were 0.38 dB/cm and 0.66 dB/cm, respectively.

In this paper, the accurate characterization of the input impedance of a rectangular waveguide with a conducting post and the other discontinuity is presented using mode matching method and the equivalent transmission line theory. By the proposed method, the input impedance of rectangular waveguide with a conducting post and the other discontinuity as a function of the radius and height of the post, the reflection coefficient of the other discontinuity, and the distance between the post and the other discontinuity is calculated. The simulated result shows good agreement with the experimental result by Marcuvitz.
