본 논문에서는 반도체 광 증폭기가 삽입된 광섬유 루프 미러를 이용한 NRZ(NonReturn to Zero) 데이터에 대한 새로운 파장 변환기를 제안하고 실험적으로 검증한다. 기존의 비선형 광섬유 루프 미러는 RZ-to-RZ, NRZ-to-RZ, 그리고 RZ-to-NRZ 데이터 형태 변환이 가능한데 반해, 아직까지 NRZ-to-NRZ 변환에 대해 제안된 바 없다. 본 논문에서는 1300 nm 대역 반도체 광 증폭기의 편광의존 이득 특성과 광섬유 루프 미러를 이용하여 1.5 Gbps 속도를 갖는 1300 nm 대역의 NRZ 데이터 신호를 1550 nm 대역의 NRZ 데이터 신호로 바꾸어 주는 NRZ-to-NRZ 파장 변환 실험을 성공적으로 수행하였다.

In this paper, we consider the factors that affect a conversion loss performance in designing a single balanced diode mixer integrated with IRF(Image Reject Filter), based on the embedded electrical wavelength placed between the IRF and mixer, diode matching and LO drive amplifier. To evaluate the conversion loss performance, we suggest two types of a single balanced mixer using 90 degree branch line coupler, microstrip line and schottky diode. One is only mixer and the other is integrated with IRF and LO drive amplifier. The measured results of a single balance diode mixer integrated IRF show the conversion loss of 8.5 dB and the flatness of 1 dB p-p from 21.2 GHz to 22.6 GHz with 10 dBm LO. The measured input PI dB and IIP3 are 7 dBm and 15 dBm respectively under the nominal LO power level of 10dBm. The LO/RF and LO/IF isolation are 22 dB and 50 dB, respectively.

Up-conversion of rare-earth element added glass is promising area for short wavelength laser source by utilizing high power semiconductor infra-red laser if the efficiency can be increased by proper method. In this study, relatively low phonon energy fluoride glasses were prepared by co-doping rare-earth elements to realize the high efficiency up-convertor. The physical, chemical, andoptical properties of co-doped fluoride glasses were measured. 10 combinations of 5 different rare-earth fluoride elements doped samples were prepared and their transition temperatures, chemical durability, density, hardness, refractive index, absorption, fluorescence, and fluorescence lifetime were measured. 480nm wavelengths blue up-conversion was found in the Yb3+/Tm3+ co-doped glass sample with 800nm laser source and the optimum composition for the most efficient blue up-conversion was found from the glass sample with 0.3 mol% TmF3 and 1 mol% YbF3.

Down-conversion of Eu$^{3+}$ doped LiGdF$_4$ (LGF) for increasing the cell efficiency on dye-sensitized Ti $O_2$ solar cells has been studied. The dye sensitized solar cell (DSC) consisting of mesoporous Ti $O_2$ electrode deposited on transparent substrate, an electrolyte containing I$^{[-10]}$ /I$_3$$^{[-10]}$ redox couple, and Pt counter electrode is a promising alternative to the inorganic solar cell. The structure of DSC is basically a sandwich type, viz., FTO glass/Ru-red dye-absorbed Ti $O_2$/iodine electrolyte/sputtered Pt/FTO glass. The cell without down converter had open circuit potential of approximately 0.66 Volt, the short circuit photocurrent density of 1.632 mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$, and fill factor of about 50 ％ at the excitation wavelength of 550 nm. In addition, 5.6 mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$ incident light intensity beam was used as a light source. From this result, the calculated monochromatic efficiency at the wavelength of 550 nm of this cell was about 9.62 ％. The incident photon to current conversion efficiency (IPCE) of N3 used as a dye in this work is about 80 ％ at around 590 nm and 610 nm, which is the emission spectrum of Eu$^{3+}$ doped LGF, results in efficiency increasing of DSC.C.

The dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) is a device for the conversion of visible light into electricity, based on the sensitization of wide bandgap semiconductors. The performance of the cell mainly depends on a dye used as sensitizer. The absorption spectrum of the dye and the anchorage of the dye to the surface of $TiO_2$ are important parameters determining the efficiency of the cell. Generally, transition metal coordination compounds(ruthenium polypyridyl complexes) are used as the effective sensitizers, due to their intense charge-transfer absorption in the whole visible range and highly efficient metal-to ligand charge transfer. However, ruthenium polypyridyl complexes contain a heavy metal, which is undesirable from point of view of the environmental aspects. Moreover, the process to synthesize the complexes is complicated and costly. Alternatively, organic dyes can be used for the same purpose with an acceptable efficiency. The advantages of organic dyes include their availability and low cost. We designed and synthesized a series of organic sensitizers containing long wavelength absorption-chromophores for the dye sensitized solar cell. The DSSC composed of Blue-chromophores for the sensitization absorbed long wavelength region which is different also applied into the dye-cocktail (mixing) system. The photovoltaic property of DSSCs organic long wavelength absorption-chromophores were measured and evaluated by comparison with that of individual chromophores.

All-optical non-return-to-zero (NRZ) -to- return-to-zero (RZ) data-format conversion has been successfully demonstrated using a semiconductor optical amplifier in a fiber-loop mirror (so-called SOA-loop mirror) with a continuous-wave (CW) holding beam. The converted RZ signal after pulse compression has been used to create a 40 Gb/s OTDM (Optical Time Division Multiplexing) signal. Here is proposed an NRZ-to-RZ conversion method without any additional optical clocks, unlike conventional methods based on optical AND logic. In addition, it has the merit of operating at various bit-rate speeds without any controlling device. Moreover, it has a simple structure, and it can be used for all-optical bit-rate-flexible clock recovery.

고밀도 파장 분할 다중화 방식(DWDM: Dense-Wavelength Division Multiplexing) 기반 차세대 광 인터넷 백본망(NGOI: Next Generation Optical Internet)의 주요 연구주제 중 하나는 다양한 멀티미디어 응용 서비스들의 서비스 품질(QoS: Quality-of-Service)을 고려한 멀티캐스트 서비스용 효율적인 라우팅 및 파장할당(RWA: Routing and Wavelength Assignment) 문제이다. 특히, 차세대 광 인터넷 백본망에서 망 대역폭의 효율적인 사용 측면의 RWA 문제는 매우 중요한 요소이다. 그러나 기존의 RWA 알고리즘들은 멀티캐스트 트리 형성 시 발생하는 혼잡상황과 경로에 대한 우선순위를 고려하지 않아 성능이 매우 제한적이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 방안으로 멀티캐스트 트리 형성시 발생하는 혼잡경로를 피하고 노드의 우선순위를 고려하는 효율적인 우선순위기반 최소간섭 경로 멀티캐스트 라우팅(PMIPMR - Priority-based Minimum Interference Path Multicast Routing) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 파장 사용률과, 파장 채널 사용률 측면에서 기존의 알고리즘과 비교, 제안된 알고리즘의 효율성을 검증한다.

In this study, a novel method for sweeping automatic linearization of wavelength swept laser is proposed. Through the test performed on the implemented laser, the linear sweeping is held up well with a 97% decrease in nonlinearity, and 60 nm sweeping range, 1 kHz sweeping frequency, and 8.8 mW average optical power were obtained. The proposed method uses fiber Bragg grating array, optical-electronic conversion circuit, FPGA embedded module, and a LabVIEW program to generate new compensated wave patterns which were applied to the fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter. Linear sweeping can reduce the cumbersome and time-consuming recalibration process required for nonlinear sweeping. Additionally, the proposed method provides more accurate measurement results for the structure safety monitoring system.
