We experimentally demonstrated a novel wavelength-swept laser using a cascaded Raman gain around 1310 nm. A 1064/1310 wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) coupler and coupled fiber Bragg gratings mirrors at 1064, 1117, 1175, 1240 nm are effectively used to increase the power efficiency in a laser ring cavity with highly non-linear fiber (HNLF) of 2 km. Linear wavelength sweeping is demonstrated with the 100 Hz triangular driving signal to fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter (FFP-TF) around the 1310 nm region. The measured sweeping range and output power were 27 nm and 2.1 mW, respectively, which are suitable for optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging.

We demonstrate a 240 km reach DWDM-PON at 8-Gb/s capacity based on wavelength-locked Fabry-Perot laser diodes and a bidirectional EDFA. We achieve a packet-error-free transmission in both the 64 upstream and 64 downstream channels, guaranteeing a 125 Mb/s symmetric data rate per user. There is no noticeable dispersion penalty. The power penalty due to the crosstalk induced by the DWDM transmission and detuning between AWGs is less than 1.2 dB, when the detuning is within ${\pm}0.12 nm$.

In this paper, we have presented the results of Wavelength Division Multiplexing-Passive Optical Network (WDM-PON) based fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) field trial test which was held in the city of Gwangju. We have implemented an injection locked Fabry-Perot Laser Diode (FP-LD) based WDM-PON system and reliably delivered Internet Protocol TV (IP-TV), networked Personal Video Recorder (N-PVR), High-Definition Video on Demand (HD-VoD), Education on Demand (EoD) and Internet service as FTTH service through the system during the field trial test. We have also verified that the WDM-PON system worked well to provide quality of service (QoS) guaranteed 100Mbps bandwidth per subscriber. Furthermore, we have presented network designing issues in Outside Plant (OSP) and Customer Premises Network (CPN) that should be overcome to efficiently deploy FTTH service. Finally, based on the field trial test results, we proposed FTTH service deployment strategies.

Brillouin spectroscopy has been widely used for the investigation of acoustic properties of condensed matters in the hypersonic region. A high-pressure Brillouin spectrometer was set up by combining a diamond anvil cell and a tandem multi-pass Fabry-Perot interferometer. It was successfully applied to liquid ethanol, and the pressure dependence of the sound velocity, the refractive index and other acoustic properties were derived based on the measurements. The detailed optical setup and experimental procedure are described.

Precision displacement of less than a few nm resolution was measured in real-time using fiber optic EFPI sensor. The novel method for real-time processing of analyzing EFPI output signal was developed and verified. Linearity in the mean values of interferometric light intensity among adjacent fringes was shown and verified the sinusoidal approximation algorithm that estimates past and coming fringe values. Real-time signal processing program was developed and the intensity signal of the EFPI sensor was transformed to the phase shift with this program. The resolution below $0.36{\sim}8.6$ nm in the displacement range of $0{\sim}300{\mu}m$ was obtained. The nano-positioner with a piezoelectric actuator and the EFPI sensor system was designed and tested. The positioner successfully reached to the desired destination within 1 nm accuracy.

A scanned Fabry-Perot(F-P) filter and a Multi-Channel Wavelength Locker(MCWL) were used to interrogate fiber Bragg grating sensor array. When the F-P filter scans over the MCWL which works as a multi-reference the temporal peaks profiles correspond to the locking wavelengths. To solve the linearity, stability, and accuracy problems caused by the nonlinear response of F-P filter, a polynomial fitting algerian was used to calculate the relationship between the peak locations and the wavelengths in all the scanning range. Then from the reflected peaks locations and the best fitting line, the Bragg wavelengths can be obtained. The measurement linearity was greatly enhanced with wavelength resolution of about 4 pm in 10Hz scanning frequency.

파장분할다중(WDM) 광통신시스템에서 광원의 파장을 정확하게 측정하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 지금까지 광파장측정기는 격자나 Fabry-Perot 에탈론을 사용한 광대역 필터(optical bandpass filter) 및 파장에 따라 삽입손실이 다른 파장판별기(wavelength discriminator)등으로 구현되었지만 빛의 간섭 현상을 이용한 마이켈슨 간섭계가 가장 많이 사용되었다. 특히 푸리에 변환 마이켈슨 간섭계 파장측정기$^{(1)}$ 는 동시에 각각 다른 파장의 광원들이 입사되더라도 각각의 파장을 측정할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 즉 마이켈슨 간섭계에서 주기적인 간섭무늬에 의한 광검출기의 출력은 입력된 광파장에 따라 다른 주기를 가진다. 따라서 서로 다른 파장을 가진 빛이 입사했을 때 검출되는 각각의 광전력의 합을 표본화(sampling)한 뒤 FFT를 거치면 광파장과 광검출기로 수신한 신호의 중심 주파수의 관계를 알 수 있으므로, 서로 다른 파장을 가진 빛이 입사하더라도 각각의 파장을 측정할 수 있는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 푸리에 변환을 이용하되 마이켈슨 간섭계 대신 마하젠더 간섭계형 광변조기를 이용하여 광파장을 측정에 관한 실험적 구현과 개선 방안에 대해 제시한다.

본 실험에서는 수 MW/$ extrm{cm}^2$ 의 매우 낮은 영역의 세기에서 순수한 GaAs의 bulk에 대하여 실험한 결과 비선형 흡수가 나타남을 관찰 하였으며, 더불어 자유전하 흡수 계수를 여러 가지 세기의 빛에서 측정한 결과 자유전하 흡수 단면적이 빛의 세기에 따라 변화하는 것을 관찰하였다.$^{(1)}$ GaAs의 굴절률이 3.6으로 매우 커서 Fabry-Perot 효과가 나타나므로 시료의 한쪽 면을 SiN로 무반사 코팅을 하여 실험 하였다. GaAs의 표면은 쉽게 레이저 빛에 의해 손상을 입는 것을 고려하여 같은 자리에서 여러 번의 실험을 하여 같은 결과가 나오는 것을 확인하여 실험 결과를 얻었다. 사용된 레이저는 Nd:YAG 레이저로서 1.064 $mu extrm{m}$의 파장에서 7 나노초의 펄스를 방출한다. 빛의 세기는 편광기와 half wave plate를 이용하여 변화 시켰다.

A WDM-PON has been considered as an ultimate solution for access networks. However, there were many technical and practical issues for commercial deployment. These issues were solved with wavelength locked F-P LD and the WDM-PONs employing this optical source were commercialized. These WDM-PON systems have been deployed in Korea, Europe, and US. We reviewed wavelength locking technology and WDM-PON achievements. When we inject spectrum sliced broadband light into an F-P LD, the multimode output is changed to a quasi single mode. Then, we can use the single mode light for WDM signal transmission. The broad spectral gain of the semiconductor gain medium enables a color-free operation of WDM-PON, i.e., an identical ONT can be used for each user. The wavelength locking properties depend on many parameters, especially alignment of injection wavelength to a lasing mode, passband profile of AWG and front facet reflectivity of F-P LD. However, these dependencies can be reduced by proper design of the laser and the injection bandwidth. Thus, WDM-PON systems have been achieved with color-free operation.

In this study, biomarkers were analyzed and segmented using tunable infrared gas sensors after performing the principal component analysis. The free spectral range of the device under test (DUT) was around 30 nm and DUT-5580 yielded the highest output voltage property among the others. The biomarkers (isoprophyl alcohol, ethanol, methanol, and acetone solutions) were sequentially mixed with deionized water and their mists were carried into the gas chamber using high-purity nitrogen gas. A total of 17 different mixed gases were tested with three tunable infrared gas sensors, namely DUT-3144, DUT-5580, and DUT-8010. DUT-8010 resolved the infrared absorption spectra of whole mixed gases. Based on the principal component analysis with each DUT and their combinations, each mixed gas and the trends in increasing gas concentration could be well analyzed when the contributions of the eigenvalues of the first and second were higher than 70% and 10%, respectively, and their sum was greater than 90%.
