The waveguide structure effects of a spot-size converter (SSe) of a $1.3\mu{m}$ FP(Fabry-Perot)-LD(Laser Diode) were investigated. Its coupling efficiency and alignment tolerance with a single-mode fiber (SMF) were carefully examined by using a 3dimensional BPM (Beam Propagation Method). It was shown that the fOlmation of enough length of straightened waveguide around the end of the sse region can substantially improve the optical coupling efficiency for a vertically tapered sse. In contrast, a down-taper structure for a laterally tapered sse has superior characteristics to an up-tapered one. We suggested good sse structures which can provide a high coupling efficiency as well as a large alignment tolerance with an .SMF. .SMF.

The performance of the ordinary Fiber Bragg Grating(FBG) sensor strain measurement system, which uses Fabry-Perot filter for scanning wavelength, has limitation for application because of hysteresis characteristics of PZT element in the filter, slow scan rate of the filter and the high cost of system. We proposed and experimented a multiple FBG sensor system using light emitting diode(LED) as a light source and adapting Code Division Multiplexing(CDM) method to separating out individual sensor signal. Output signals for a applied static and dynamic strain and crosstalk levels between sensor signals were measured. The price of the system is very loss and the response speed is very fast. Crosstalk levels between sensor signals below - 30 dB were demonstrated.

Recently, based on the smart structure concept, optical fiber sensors have been increasingly applied to monitor the various engineering and civil structural components. Repairs based on adhesively bonded fiber reinforce composite patches are more structurally efficient and much less damaging to the parent structure than standard repairs based on mechanically fastened metallic patches. As a result of the high reinforcing efficiency of bonded patches fatigue cracks can be successfully repaired. However, when such repairs are applied to primary structures, it is needed to demonstrate that its loss can be immediately detected. This approach is based on the "smart patch" concept in which the patch system monitors its own health. The objective of this study is to evaluate the potentiality of application of transmission-type extrinsic Fabry-Perot optical fiber sensor (TEFPI) to the monitoring of crack growth behavior of composite patch repaired structures. The sensing system of TEFPI and the data reduction principle for the detection of crack detection are presented. Finally, experimental results from the tests of center-cracked-tension aluminum specimens repaired with bonded composite patch is presented and discussed.

A fiber laser of which wavelength was scanned by an intra-cavity FP (Fabry-Perot) filter was used to interrogate a fiber Bragg grating strain sensor array. We calculated the wavelength variation of the fiber laser using quadrature signal processing with an unbalanced M/Z (Mach-Zehnder) interferometer and time-delayed sampling technique. The calculated wavelengths are mapped to corresponding temporal reflection peaks from the sensor array, which enables more accurate and stable interrogation without the problems caused by the FP filter's nonlinear characteristics. Wavelength resolution of ∼20 pm was obtained in our experimental setup, which could have been greatly enhanced with faster phase modulation.

We report the physical implementation of a tunable photonic microwave delay line filter based on injection locking of a single Fabry-Perot laser diode (FP-LD) to a reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA). The laser generates equally spaced multiple wavelengths and a single tapped-delay line can be obtained with a dispersive single mode fiber. The filter frequency response depends on the wavelength spacing and can be tuned by the temperature of the FP-LD varying lasing wavelength. For amplitude control of the wavelengths, we use gain saturation of the RSOA and the offset between the peak wavelengths of the FP-LD and the RSOA to decrease the amplitude difference in the wavelengths. From the temperature change of total $15^{\circ}C$, the filter, consisting of four flat wavelengths and two wavelengths with slightly lower amplitudes on both sides, has shown tunability of about 390 MHz.

Scan capabilities of Fabry-Perot cavity (FPC) antennas are investigated for the case of a $4{\times}1$ thinned array placed inside the cavity. The FPC array antenna has higher maximum gain and lower sidelobe level (SLL), but the maximum scan angle of the thinned array is 14-17% lower than the patch array alone, due to increased mutual coupling in the FPC structures. However, unlike the bare thinned array, the SLL of FPC array does not suffer from the grating lobe problem even though it has a relative large element spacing of more than $1.0{\lambda}_0$.

In this paper, we propose a scheme for designing a tunable pixel layer based on a $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ (GST) alloy thin film. We show that the phase change of GST can significantly affect the reflection characteristic when the GST film is embedded into a dielectric encapsulation layer. We investigate the appropriate positions of the GST film within the dielectric layer for high diffraction efficiency, and we prove that they are antinodes of Fabry-Perot resonance inside the dielectric layer. Using the proposed scheme, we can increase the diffraction efficiency by about ten times compared to a bare GST film pixel, and 80 times for the first-to-zeroth-order diffraction power ratio. We show that the proposed scheme can be designed alternatively for a broadband or wavelength-selective type by tuning the dielectric thickness, and we discuss a multi-phase example with a double-stack structure.

The low loss single-mode $Al_{0.042}Ga_{0.958}As/GaAs/Al_{0.042}Ga_{0.958}As$ strip-loaded waveguides had been designed using an effective index method and fabricated using a MOCVD technique and chemical wet etching method. The propagation loss and facet reflectivity were measured by the Fabry-Perot resonance method and sequential cleaving experiment at $1.31{\mu}m$ wavelength. As a result, the propagation loss is as low as 0.62 dB/cm and the facet refiectivity(R) equals to 0.299 for straight waveguides with width $ w=4.1{\mu}m$..

We examined the effect of low temperature heat-treatment on the optical properties of the photonic crystals self-assembled using a monodispersed spherical $SiO_2$ nanoparticle. When the heat treatment temperature increased, the reflectance peak, which is induced by the photonic band gap, moved to a shorter wavelength direction, and the peak intensity of Fabry-Perot fringes also increased. The highest reflectance peak intensity was obtained in the sample heat-treated at $250\~300^{\circ}C$. The heat-treatment reduced the average particle size and the quantity of defects, and increased the packing density of the photonic crystal.
