Signal performances according link span dispersion compensation conditions at the 2000 km long-haul transmission distance using 10 Gbps 40 wavelength division multiplexing channels were analyzed and compared. 95%, 97.5%, 100%, 102.5% and 105% compensation conditions were applied and 97.5% gave the best performance without post dispersion compensation. the effects of accumulated dispersion value and average dispersion value per transmission link for each link compensation condition were analyzed. When post dispersion compensation optimization was applied to five link span dispersion compensation conditions, 102.5% was given the best performance.

Attenuation losses and repeater spans of single-mode optical fibers installed in the long hual optical transmission line were measured and analyzed. The average loss including splicing points was appeared to be 0.55 0.05dB/km and 0.59 0.01dB/km at 1300nm and 1550nm, respectively, and showed lager value at 1550nm window, The cause of loss increase at 1550nm range from the OTDR measurement was due to the inappropriate treatment of extra length of fiber at the splicing points. And average repeater span of domestic long haul line was 24 7km and 90% of total sampled repeater spans was within 31 km.

We have demonstrated a fiber short-wavelength filter with a good cut-off property using dissimilar dispersive properties between? a thermally expanded cored fiber and an external medium. Side-polishing is applied to coupling between the fiber and the external medium. The experimental results revealed that the bend edge wavelength can be adjusted by controlling the degree of core expansion. Futhermore, the sharpness of wavelength response? was significantly? improved by employing expanded core fiber instead of a conventional single mode fiber. Tuning range of the band edge wavelength exceeded 400 m based on thermo-optic effect of the external medium.

A theoretical presentation of evanescent coupling is offered with respect to the refractive indexes between a side polished optical fiber and an infinitely planar waveguide with a conductor cladding(PWGCC). The PWG is suspended at a constant distance from an unclad fiber core and attached with the perfect conductor(PEC) on one side. The behavior of the distributed coupler is examined using a coupled mode model, which takes account of the two dimensions of the waveguide configuration. The coupling and propagation of light were found to depend on both the relationship between the refractive index values of each structure and the configuration of the side polished fiber used in the PWGCC. The spreading of light in the unconfined direction of the PWGCC is described in terms of a simple geometrical interpretation of the synchromization condition that is in agreement with a previous investigation of the problem based on the coupled-mode theory(CMT). The power of the light propagation in the fiber decreased exponentially along the fiber axis as it was transferred to the PWGCC.

The packet error rates of an optical packet switching node with an optical address processor using an EDFA in order to detect M-ary correlation pulses at a fiber-optical delay line matched filter output have been evaluated. Effects of A PIN diode NEP, the gain and noise figure of the EDFA, and the bandwidth of an optical filter on the packet error rate of the switching node have been compared. There is negligible error rate change depending upon the variation of the PIN diode NEP and the EDFA gain. If the bandwidth of the optical filter is below 10 times of the data rate, there is no appreciable effect on the error rate. If the noise figure of the EDFA increases, however, the power penalty increases as much as the noise figure increment at all the bit rates and for address code sets considered in this work.

Mach-Zehnder interferometric wavelength converters with monolithically integrated semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA's) have been fabricated and characteristics of wavelength conversion at 10 Gb/s have been investigated for wavelength span of 40 nm. The devices have been achieved by using a butt-joint combination of buried ridge structure type SOA's and passive waveguides. In the integration, a new method has been applied that removes p+InP cladding layer leading to high propagation loss and forms simultaneously the current blocking and the cladding layer using undoped InP. The module packaging has been achieved by using a titled fiber array for effective coupling into the tilted waveguide in the wavelength converter. Using the module, wavelength conversion with power penalty lower than 1 ㏈ at 10 Gb/s has been demonstrated for wavelength span of 40 nm. In addition, it is show that the module can provide 2R (re-amplification, re-shaping) operation by demonstrating the conversion with the negative penalty.

We propose a novel method to reduce laser chirp and improve modulation performance in semiconductor laser by using dual-electrode structure. Dual-electrode structure is realized by segmenting a electrode on top of gain medium, as was the case of edge emitting laser diode, into electrically isolated two electrodes. By using the proposed structure, we have experimentally achieved a reduction of laser spectral width of 0.23 nm and an improvement of 2.5-dB receiver sensitivity at an 80-km fiber transmission for 10-Gbps NRZ (non-return-to zero) data stream.

We propose a multiplexed fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor network for vessel monitoring to measure the variation of strain and temperature by environmental perturbation based on code division multiple access (CDMA). The center wavelength of FBG was linearly changed by environmental perturbation such as strain and temperature variation so that we could be monitoring the state of sensors. A RSOA was used as optical broadband source and which was modulated by using pseudo random binary sequence (PRBS) signal. The correlation peak of reflected signal from sensor networks was measured. In this paper, we used the sliding correlation techniques for high speed response and dynamic rage of sensors.

A receiver ASIC for fiber optic modules of STM-1 optical communication has been fabricated with 0.65 $\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS technology. The ASIC has a limit amplifier circuit for the 155.52 Mbps data reshaping, and a clock extraction circuit for the 155.52 MHz clock recovery. The ASIC has an acquisition aid and LOS monitoring circuit for properly operation with near 155.52 MHz clock frequency in case of the data loss due to transmission line open or data transfer fail. Measured results show that the circuit reshapes data from 5 mV to 1 V wide range of input voltage condition, add it recovers system clock with stable on any condition.

The transmission characteristics of multiply cascaded phase-shifted long-period fiber gratings(LPFGs) were investigated theo-retically and experimentally. Their passband can be changed by increasing the number of p-shifted LPFGs. When two p-shifted LPFGs with different grating lengths are cascaded in series, the bandwidth of the rejection band and passband can be controlled by the pristine characteristics of two gratings. We also investigate the transmission characteristics of phase-shifted LPFG by exposing the half of LPFG region to UV laser. The transmission characteristics strongly depend on the initial coupling strength of the LPFG.
