GRIN-SCH quantum well structured Laser Diode were fabricated using MOCVD and operated as CW at room temperature. The threshold current density of the LD with 670${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ cavity length was 530 A/$\textrm{cm}^2$. For the ridge waveguide type index guiding structured LD with 6${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ stripe width and 240${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ cavity length, the threshold current was 50㎃. The maximum differential quantum efficiency was 0.95W/A when the optical output was 60mW. The lasing wavelength of QW LD was 865nm. In the L-I measurement. TE mode was superior to TM mode. From the near field pattern, single lateral mode operation was observed.

이동통신망에서 RF 신호를 송수신하는 기지국(base station)과 이동 통신 신호의 교환 전송을 담당하는 중앙국(central station)을 광섬유로 연결하여 구성하는 SCM (Subcarrier Multiplexing) 전송 시스템은 미래의 음성, 영상, 데이터 서비스 등의 이동통신 시스템에 적용할 수 있기 때문에 최근 관심사가 커지고 있다. 이동통신망을 위한 SCM 광전송 시스템의 유용성에도 불구하고, CDMA RF 신호를 전송하는 과정에서 많은 물리적인 제약이 있다. 특히, 많은 가입자의 CDMA RF 신호가 하나의 레이저 다이오드(LD: Laser Diode)를 구동시킬 때, RF 신호의 합이 레이저 다이오드의 선형영역을 벗어나면 클리핑(clipping)이나 비선형 왜곡이 발생하여 시스템의 성능을 저하시키게 된다. 본 논문에서는 CDMA RF 신호의 SCM 광전송 성능분석을 통해 레이저 다이오드에 의해 발생하는 비선형 왜곡의 영향을 분석하고, 분석 결과로부터 레이저 다이오드에 의한 비선형 효과를 최소화 할 수 있는 비선형 왜곡 보상구조를 제안하였다. 또한 제안된 레이저 다이오드 비선형 보상기의 성능을 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 얻어진 BER로부터 측정하였다.

We report a new configuration of a reflection-type confocal scanning optical microscope system for measuring the refractive index profile of an optical waveguide. Several improvements on the earlier design are proposed; a light emitting diode (LED) at 650 nm wavelength instead of a laser diode (LD) or He-Ne laser is used as a light source for better index precision, and a simple longitudinal linear scanning and curve fitting techniques are adapted instead of a servo control for maintaining an optical confocal arrangement. We have obtained spatial resolution of 700 nm and an index precision of $2\times10^{-4}$. To verify the system's capability, the refractive index profiles of a conventional multimode fiber and a home-made four-mode fiber were examined with our proposed measurement method.

In this paper we propose a cryogenic sensor system which can measure the temperature at higher resolution at low temperature using temperature-dependent amplified spontaneous emission of erbium-doped fiber pumped by a 1480 nm laser diode. The measurement resolution of the sensor system could be enhanced through the modulation of injection current of the pump laser diode. The measurement resolution considering the fluctuation of the light source in the sensor system was ${\sim}0.4$ K in the room temperature regime and ${\sim}0.07$ K in the liquid nitrogen temperature regime.

Operation properties, such as output power, beam radius, and crystal temperature rise were investigated in a diode-pumped edge-cooled monolithic Yb:YAG laser with ~ 4 W pumping level. The output power showed saturation behavior because of severe temperature rise and poor spatial overlapping between pump beam and lasing mode. Face cooling geometry by using a sapphire plate was also investigated. No apparent saturation behavior in output power was observed due to the reduced temperature rise, which could be attributed to efficient heat removal through the crystal-sapphire interface.

Lasing modes of laser-diode-pumped fiber grating lasers are analyzed by coupled-mode theory. First, a power series solution of the coupled-mode equations is derived under the assumption of an exponentially-decreasing longitudinal modal gain profile for a laser-diode-pumped grating section, followed by determination of the transfer matrix for such a section. Based on these results, an eigenvalue equation for oscillation is then derived and solved numerically for the lasing modes of uniform and phase-shifted fiber grating lasers. Comparisons made with the uniform-gain results indicate that, surprisingly, the lasing mode characteristics are not as significantly altered as might be expected in most cases, even for a highly nonuniform gain profile. In the case of a phase-shifted grating, the phase-shift position appears to have a much greater impact on determining the threshold gain, the modal field distribution, and the front-to-back output power ratio.

We have systematically designed and experimentally demonstrated the opto-electrical predistortion optical transmitter using microwave circuit modelling for reducing the nonlinearity of the distributed-feedback laser diode (DFD-LD). The DFB-LD is analyzed using microwave circuits model based on rate equations. Through the system-level simulation for predistortion method, the optimized characteristics of the RF components in the system are confirmed. The simulated and experimental results show the reduced distortion products. These results are analyzed as the evaluation parameters for the miniaturization and optimization of the opto-electrical predistortion method in radio-over-fiber systems.

We propose and demonstrate an external optical modulation method based on TE/TM-mode absorption nulls in a Multiple Quantum Well(MQW) Fabry-Perot laser diode(FP-LD). The center wavelength of the absorption nulls is rapidly shifted to short-wavelength by the small current change(~1mA) in the FP-LD, which can modulate an optical signal with more than 10 dB of extinction ratio(ER). The shift of the center wavelength comes from the refractive index change due to anomalous dispersion and the plasma effect in MQW FP-LD waveguide. Non-inverting and inverting signals are made by TE- and TM-mode absorption nulls at 155.52 Mbps and BERs for the signals are measured.
