For the purpose of improving the stopband characteristics, the filter structure having single or double inserted metal plates in the waveguide of a reduced width have been widely stdudied so far. Usually such structures have a waveguide junction discontinuity between two waveguides of different widths. In designing such structures, we should always minimize the insertion loss due to the juction discontinuity. Besides it is difficult to fabricate the junction with desired accuracy. Here we consider new structure of tripple metal insert filter without the junction discontinuity problem, which is more suitable for mass production. An optimization procedure is taken with manufacturing error 0.1mm of inserted metal length. The theory agrees well with experimental data. so, it is show that fabrication of triple metal insert filter is more profitabel by optimization process.

In this paper, we present a polarizer that consists of three step rotary detents which can selectively convert linear polarzation into circular polarization and vice versa. For the design of the polarizer, the transmission line theory is applied to design the wa- veguide mode transducer for the modes to be smothly converted in waveguides, and a dielectric plate is inserted in circular waveguide for the conversion of a polarized wave with the angle of an inserted dielectric plate. Also, we simulated to obtain the optimum values of the transmission and the reflection coefficient characteristics at input and output port, and proved the propriety of the theory from the knowledge of measuring the constructed polarizer with the designed data.

In this paper, we have designed a mode size converter to reduce coupling loss between super-high delta silica optical waveguides and single mode fibers. The new mode size converter has three design aspects; periodically segmented taper waveguide for minimal size, lateral taper waveguide for simple fabrication, and surrounding trenches to improve coupling loss. In the optimal mode size converter design, coupling loss is 0.33dB/point without trenches and 0.2dB/point with trenches.

The characteristics of optical waeguides and IDT electrodes fabricated for acousto-optic tunable filters (AOTE) used for optical communications were analyzed. A $Ti:LiNbO_3$ in-diffusion method was employed for the formation of the optical waveguide with a dimension of width $8\mu\textrm{m}$, length $30000\mu\textrm{m}$, and thickness $1150{\AA}$. The diffusion was carried at $1050^{\circ}C$ for 8 houss to pattern the optical waveguide with Ti. The resulted waveguide exhibited a single mode at a 1550nm wavelength range and its propagation loss was less than 0.5dB/cm. The width of IDT, with 10 SAW periods, was $5000\mu\textrm{m}$, S11 reflection characteristics and impedances of th eelectrodes deposited with Au were analyzed using a network analyzer; $48.1\Omega$ at th ecenter frquency of 193MHz for Au deposition thickness of $1500{\AA}$ and $50.7\Omega$ at the center frequency of 192MHz for au deposition thickness of $1600{\AA}$.

Acousto-optical wavelength tunable optical filters in LiNbO$_3$ have been demonstrated using taperd directional weighted coupling acoustic waveguides and Ti double diffusion technique. Conversion efficiency in excess of 61%, 86% and sidelobe intensity of -14.29㏈, -14.99㏈ were measured at a wavelength of 1551.1nm RF frequency of 173.58MHz and RF power of 35㎽ for both TE and TM input polarizations, respectivelv. A spectral width of ~l.8nm and linear tuning late of 8.6nm/MHz were demonstrated. A 2.82$mutextrm{s}$ switching time has been measured. With two channels with 2.5nmseparation, channel cross-talk was lower than -l4㏈ for single wavelength filtering due to sidelobe.

In the layered medium, infinite Sommerfeld integral must be evaluated to calculate a space domain Green's function. The complex image method and the two-level method provide rapid calculation and accurate solutions in the near-field region. However, in the intermediate and far-field region, the solutions are inaccurate due to the deformation of the sampling contour. In this paper, we propose a method to calculate an accurate closed-form Green's function for coplanar structure by sampling data on the real axis.

SiO$_2$ and SiON thick films were deposited by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) technique on silicon wafer (100) using SiH$_4$ and $N_2$O as precursor gases. In this work, the influence of rf power, and rf bias power on the optical and physical properties of SiO$_2$ and SiON thick films is presented. The refractive index decreases with increasing rf power, and rf bias power. The refractive index of the films varied from 1.4493 to 1.4952 at wavelength at 1552 nm, with increasing rf power, the nitrogen content decreases while the oxygen content increases, in a manner that the O/N ratio increases approximately linearly.

The Perfectly Matched Layer(PML) provide good performance in absorption over a wide frequency range and is an appropriate ABC for waveguides with high dispersion. In this paper, a novel algorithm is proposed to improve the computational efficiency of the PML. In the input and output ports, the fields are decomposed into a series of modes, and then an appropriate ABC is applied to each mode. CPU time and memory storage requirements are greatly reduced, since the computational region is analyzed in one dimension. A WG-90 rectangular waveguide with a thick asymmetric iris is analyzed by Finite-Difference Time-Domain(FDTD) simulations with the conventional PML and the proposed one-dimensional (1-D) PML. Numerical results show that the computational efficiency is significantly improved by the proposed method.

Ti : $LiNbO_3$ traveling-wave phase optical modulators at wavelength 1.3㎛ have been designed and fabricated, focusing on the optical waveguide and asymmetric coplanar electrode structure. To improve the phase-mismatch of traveling-wave ACPS electrode, the characteristic impedance, effective microwave index, and electrode loss have been presented as a function of geometric parameters including electrode and buffer layer thickness. Low-loss channel optical waveguides on $LiNbO_3$ were fabricated by the Ti diffusion method with $O_2$ water-vapor environment. $2.5{\mu}m$ thick electrode was successfully fabricated by double-spin image reversal process. Modulation bandwidth was limited by a resonance at 2.9 GHz and modulation bandwidth up to 2.5GHz was approxirnately measured.

The laser direct writing method using a UV Argon-ion laser is studied for fabrication of waveguide. The laser direct writing system is constructed with a vision camera, a xy-stage, a motion controller and the delivery components of a laser beam. The UV Argon-ion laser has wavelength range of $333.6\~363.8$ nm. A photo-active UV curable polymer for a planar light-wave circuit(PLC) of single mode is used. This polymer is irradiated by Argon-ion laser and developed by a solvent after a post-baking. The optimum laser direct writing condition is obtained experimentally by changing various process parameters such as laser power, writing speed and focal length. The propagation and coupling loss of a optical waveguide was measured as 1dB/cm and 0.6dB/cm, respectively. Also, the minimum width of waveguide of $100{\mu}m$(ZPLW-207) is obtained. Finally, the waveguides of line, bend and branch type are successfully fabricated.
