We propose a new recirculating fiber delay-line filter structure. In proposed system, we insert a fiber Bragg grating(FBG) into a recirculating fiber delay line and it operates as a partially reflection mirror. Therefore, the transfer function of the system is given by the recirculating delay output part and the multiple-reflected output part due to a FBG. By adjusting the parameters such as coupling coefficient, reflectivity of FBG, and gain, we can make the system operate in various filter.

In this paper, we made an analysis of the effective optical pulse stream generation. This is different from conventional approaches, which use fiber or waveguide delay line circuits. The optical pulse multiplication phenomenon occurs when the optical pulse's spectral width is greater than the transfer bandwidth of the coupler used. Therefore, the effective optical pulse stream generation can be controlled by using fiber couplers with different equivalent transfer bandwidths. The pulse separation spacing is controlled by number of cascaded coupler in optical loop mirror coupler scheme.

We have experimentally observed and theoretically analyzed the gain dependent optimum repetition rates of a hybrid-type active and passive mode locked laser pulses in an erbium-doped fiber laser of the figure-of-eight geometry by utilizing a nonlinear amplifier loop mirror (NALM) as a saturable absorber and a directional-coupler type electro-optic modulator as an active mode locker. Transform-limited mode-locked pulses of about 10 ps width were obtained at repetition rates which correspond to harmonics of the cavity fundamental frequency and depend on the optical amplifier gain in the NALM.

광전송 시스템의 전송용량은 WDM 기술의 비약적 성장에 의해 테라 bps급으로 증대된 데 비해 LAN 또는 MAN 등을 포함한 광 다중 접속 네트워크에 대한 연구는 비교적 덜 성숙한 실정이다. 광 코드분할 다중접속 (CDMA) 네트워크는 비동기 다중 사용자 시스템에의 응용 가능성과 자체적인 보안성의 제공으로 광 다중 접속 네트워크 구성의 유망한 해결책 중 하나로 관심을 모으고 있다. 현재까지 다양한 광 CDMA 네트워크 구성 방안들이 제안되었으며 이들은 크게 시간영역 또는 주파수영역에서의 부/복호 방식, 인코히어런트 또는 코히어런트 광 신호처리 방식으로 분류되어진다$^{(1)}$ .

Generally, it is announced that RZ pattern gives a better transmission performance than NRZ pattern in ultra-high speed transmission above 10Gbps. In this paper, we propose a wavelength converter for RZ data which can controls XPM in SOA by locating polarization controllers within optical fiber loop mirror and demonstrate its performance through simulation and 10Gbps data experiment. The proposed structure needs only one polarization dependent SOA for implementation compared to previous XPM ones to make the cost down. And it provides non-inverted pattern outputs at two output ports respectively.

The packaged optical fiber Bragg grating sensors which were networked by multiplexing the Bragg grating sensors with WDM technology were investigated in application for the structural health monitoring of the marine trestle structure transporting the ship. The optical fiber Bragg grating sensor was packaged in a cylindrical shape made of aluminum tubes. Furthermore, after the packaged optical fiber sensor was inserted in polymeric tube, the epoxy was filled inside the tube so that the sensor has resistance and durability against sea water. The packaged optical fiber sensor component was investigated under 0.2 MPa of hydraulic pressure and was found to be robust. The number and location of Bragg gratings attached at the trestle were determined where the trestle was subject to high displacement obtained by the finite element simulation. Strain of the part in the trestle being subjected to the maximum load was analyzed to be ${\sim}1000{\mu}{\varepsilon}$ and thus shift in Bragg wavelength of the sensor caused by the maximum load of the trestle was found to be ~1,200 pm. According to results of the finite element analysis, the Bragg wavelength spacings of the sensors were determined to have 3~5 nm without overlapping of grating wavelengths between sensors when the trestle was under loads and thus 50 of the grating sensors with each module consisting of 5 sensors could be networked within 150 nm optical window at 1550 nm wavelength of the Bragg wavelength interrogator. Shifts in Bragg wavelength of the 5 packaged optical fiber sensors attached at the mock trestle unit were well interrogated by the grating interrogator which used the optical fiber loop mirror, and the maximum strain rate was measured to be about $235.650{\mu}{\varepsilon}$. The modelling result of the sensor packaging and networking was in good agreements with experimental result each other.
