A simple method to determine the focal length of a lens using the Talbot image is presented. This method uses only one grating, requiring neither Moir$\acute{e}$ fringe analysis nor the angle between the gratings. The original Fourier transform was used to access the spectrum beyond the limitation set of the usual fast Fourier transform to determine the (de)magnification accurately enough to be used for the focal length. A set of Talbot images simulated numerically with the Fresnel diffraction integral was used to demonstrate the method. For focal lengths between 5550 mm and 5650 mm, the mean difference between the focal lengths determined from the Talbot images and the true values was 3.3 mm with the standard deviation of the difference being 3.8 mm. The true focal lengths can be recovered with an accuracy of 0.06%.

Rib 형태의 전송구조로 구성된 편광 무의존성 방향성 결합기(DC)와 다중모드 간섭결합기(MMI)의 설계특성을 종방향 모드 전송선로 해석법(L-MTLT)을 이용하여 정확하게 비교 분석하였다. 두 전송모드들의 결합특성에 의존하는 편향 무의존성 DC 소자를 이용하여 다중모드들의 결합과 간섭특성을 나타내는 MMI 결합기가 설계될 수 있음을 보였다. 또한, 편향 무의존성 DC와 MMI 소자들의 결합효율을 결합길이와 파장의 변화에 따라 자세하게 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과를 기반으로 광통신용 소자에서 필터로 널리 사용 가능한 Bragg 격자구조가 집적된 편향 무의존성 DC와 MMI를 설계하고 그 필터특성을 처음으로 비교 분석하였다. 분석결과, TE와 TM 모드들 사이의 결합길이가 같도록 설계한 DC는 MMI보다 편광 무의존성 필터링 특성에 있어서 더욱 좋은 성능을 나타냈다. 그러나, 편광무의존성 결합길이가 현저하게 작은 MMI가 DC보다 집적소자 소형화를 위하여 더욱 좋은 소자임을 보였다.

Phase errors of arrayed waveguide degrade the performance of AWG router, especially for dense WDM system. So it is necessary to measure the phase error and to compensate. The analysis method of the interference signal from the low coherence interferometer to measure the path length difference phase error is studied. The interference signal generated assuming the intentional path length difference errors of 0.1$\sim$0.4${\mu}m$ are analyzed and the results show that the path length difference phase error of ${\Delta}L$ within ${\pm}14^{\circ}$ of sampling phase error can be accurately measured.

This paper describes the optimal design of an AWG spectrum to meet various specifications and improve some physical parameters. The objective function is the norm of the difference between design parameters and target values. To obtain the design parameters, the Fourier model is employed and the design variables arc spacing of array waveguide, width of array waveguide, optical path difference, and focal length. The (1+1) Evolution Strategy is employed as the optimization tool. The optimization procedure is applied to a 16-channel AWG and the optimized design variables will considerably improve the system performance.

In this study we demonstrate ultrahigh-resolution spectral domain optical coherence tomography (UHR SD-OCT) with a linear-wavenumber (k) spectrometer, to accelerate signal processing and to display two-dimensional (2-D) images in real time. First, we performed a numerical simulation to find the optimal parameters for the linear-k spectrometer to achieve ultrahigh axial resolution, such as the number of grooves in a grating, the material for a dispersive prism, and the rotational angle between the grating and the dispersive prism. We found that a grating with 1200 grooves and an F2 equilateral prism at a rotational angle of $26.07^{\circ}$, in combination with a lens of focal length 85.1 mm, are suitable for UHR SD-OCT with the imaging depth range (limited by spectrometer resolution) set at 2.0 mm. As guided by the simulation results, we constructed the linear-k spectrometer needed to implement a UHR SD-OCT. The actual imaging depth range was measured to be approximately 2.1 mm, and axial resolution of $3.8{\mu}m$ in air was achieved, corresponding to $2.8{\mu}m$ in tissue (n = 1.35). The sensitivity was -91 dB with -10 dB roll-off at 1.5 mm depth. We demonstrated a 128.2 fps acquisition rate for OCT images with 800 lines/frame, by taking advantage of NVIDIA's compute unified device architecture (CUDA) technology, which allowed for real-time signal processing compatible with the speed of the spectrometer's data acquisition.

An NIR grism Si optical area sensor spectrometer with in-band reference wavelength is designed and fabricated. It is composed of a transmission type diffraction grating (spatial density 300 line/mm), a rectangular N-BK7 prism (apex angle 30 degree), NIR filter(cutoff wavelength 720 nm), an imaging convex lens(focal length 50 mm F1.8) and an IR modified DSLR camera (Canon EOS40D) of Si optical area sensor ($3,888{\times}2,592$ pixels, pixel size $5.710{\mu}m$). "In-band reference wavelength function" is implemented using non-dispersive 0th diffraction order optical beam. The NIR grism spectrometer is tested in a laboratory using a halogen lamp and a Neon lamp. And the spectrometer is used in an astronomy field for obtaining the planet Jupiter NIR spectrum.

Pitch measurements of 150 nm one-dimensional grating standards were carried out using a contact mode atomic force microscopy with a high resolution three-axis laser interferometer. This measurement technique was named as the 'nano-metrological AFM'. In the nano-metrological AFM, three laser interferometers were aligned precisely to the end of an AFM tip. Laser sources of the three-axis laser interferometer in the nano-metrological AFM were calibrated with an I$_2$ stabilized He-Ne laser at a wavelength of 633 nm. Therefore, the Abbe error was minimized and the result of the pitch measurement using the nano-metrological AFM could be used to directly measure the length standard. The uncertainty in the pitch measurement was estimated in accordance with the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM). The primary source of uncertainty in the pitch-measurements was derived from the repeatability of the pitch-measurements, and its value was about 0.186 nm. The average pitch value was 146.65 nm and the combined standard uncertainty was less than 0.262 nm. It is suggested that the metrological AFM is a useful tool for the nano-metrological standard calibration.

We fabricated distributed feedback InGaAsP/InP laser diodes for optical fiber communication module and characterized the lasing properties in continuous wave operation. The active layer of 7-period InGaAsP(1.127 eV)/InGaAsP(0.954 eV) multi-quantum well structure was grown by the metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. The grating for waveguide was also fabricated by the implementation of the Mach-Zehender holographic method of two laser beams interference of He- Cd laser and the fabricated laser diode has the dimension of the laser length of $400{\mu}m$ and the ridge width of $1.2{\mu}m$. The laser diode shows the threshold current of 3.59 mA, the threshold voltage of 1.059 V. For the room-temperature operation with the current of 13.54 mA and the voltage of 1.12 V, the peak wavelength is about 1309.70 nm and optical power is 13.254 mW.

본 논문에서는 기존의 DBR 격자 기반의 파장선택성 반사기를 대체시킬 수 있는 결합 링 반사기가 집적된 레이저 다이오드를 연산자 분리 시 영역 모델을 통해서 분석한다. 결합 링 반사기는 브래그 격자(Bragg grating) 필요로 하지 않는 평판 도파로 형태의 반사기이다. 결합 링 반사기는 하나의 직선 도파로와 두 개의 결합된 형태의 링 공진기가 하나의 직선 도파로에 결합되어 있다. 위상 조절 전류의 조절에 따른 파장 가변 범위는 수십 nm 정도가 되고, 파장 가변 과정에서 부모드 억압비도 35 dB 이상이 됨을 수치 해석을 통해 확인했다. 또한 결합 링 반사기 레이저 다이오드는 종래의 레이저 다이오드에 비해서 유효 공진기 길이(Effective Cavity Length)가 매우 길기 때문에 진폭 변조 시 20-30 GHz 주파수 영역에서 추가적인 공진 특성을 보이고, 이 특성으로 인해 진폭 변조 대역폭이 상당히 향상될 수 있으리라 기대된다.
