An optical fiber code-division multiple-access (CDMA) network is proposed in which encoding is based on the use of concatenated sequences of relatively large weight. The first short component sequence in the concatenated sequence permits realistic electronic encoding of each data bit. The chips of this sequence are then all-optically encoded at substantially higher rate. In spite of the relatively large weight of the sequence the all-optical encoder is practical by virtue of the shortness of the component sequences. The use of Gold and Lempel sequences as component sequences for generating the concatenated sequences is studied and the bit-error rate (BER) performance of the proposed system is presented as a function of the received optical power with the number of simultaneous users as parameter.

Fiber-optic sensor (FOS) using bending-sensitive fiber (BSF which detects physical variables according to the variation of fiber-bending is proposed. BSF is already used in variable optical attenuator. Three-dimensional finite difference beam propagation method (3D FD-BPM) is used to investigate the bending loss of BSF. Then, the results of bending experiment with FOS consisting of BSF is compared to numerical results of 3D FD-BPM. In particular, the optical power of fabricated FOS with BSF varies from -ldB to -2OdB when pressure given to the upper side of FOS changes from 0 MPa to 0.005 MPa, while the FOS consists of SMF shows no change of optical power at the same condition.

We have evaluated the performance of an all-optical automatic gain-controlled (AGC) erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) to suppress the optical signal fluctuation induced by atmospheric turbulence in terrestrial free-space optical communication systems. In our measurements, the input power into the EDFA was set to be -30 dBm and -10 dBm to operate the amplifier in the small-signal and saturation regions, respectively. The fluctuations in the optical signal were emulated with an acousto-optic modulator driven with a sinusoidal voltage. From the measured results, we have found that an all-optical AGC EDFA could suppress the optical signal fluctuation effectively, as long as the EDFA operated in the small-signal region with a high feedback amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) power.

The evaluation methods of the splicing loss in attenuation characteristics of optical fiber were measured and analyzed presently, the splicing loss of single mode optical fiber is measured by the cut-back technique and the backscattering technique. Comparing the splicing loss measured by above two technique, evaluation method of splicing loss measured by backscattering technique (OTDR) shall be calculated by the splicing loss is occurred due to difference of the backscattering coefficient in the spliced fibers. Thus. this analysis of the splicing loss is certainly applied in installation of the optical fiber cables for management of the data.

To solve the cost problem of micro/picocell system, the fiber-optic cellular system was proposed. In this system, all channel elements are managed in Central Station, not in each base station. Also, all channel elements in a system can be dynamically assigned when the Spectrum Delivery Switch (SDS) is used. In this paper, we propose and analyze a new intergroup handoff scheme in the fiber-optic cellular system. The proposed scheme supports handoff with keeping current channel. Performance is evaluated with respect to the blocking probability and the handoff refused probability in both systems with SDS and without SDS. The numerical results show that the proposed scheme provides better performance than conventional soft handoff scheme.

This paper presetns new design of the Modified Chemical Vapor Deposition(MCVD) system for optical fiber preform fabrication. It contains a glass working lathe, raw material supplier and exhaust gas treatment apparatus as fundamental instruments for MCVD process, graded index fiber design, characteristic of process and the experimenta arrangement to measure the refractive index profile of MCVD preforms, respectively. From the investigation results, it is shown that an ideal graded index fiber preform does not exhibit a center dip or bump.

In this paper, a sensitivity of the gravity acceleration $(0{\sim}1G)$ for a fiber-optic accelerometer is demonstrated. A single mode optical fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer was used to detect the change in optical path length produced by the strain in the fiber from probe mass about 1 gram. The phase conversion gain of the piezoelectric cylinder in the reference arm with this system measures 0.88rad./v.

The tension effect on fiber Bragg gratings was analyzed and the linearity of 1.24 nm/10kpsi was obtained when Bragg wavelength was varied within 3 nm by applied tension. Using tension control method, different center wavelength fiber Bragg grating(FBG) were fabricated by only single period phase mask. These serially connected four FBGs showed the transmission spectrum of 1.5 nm linewidth as a 3 dB bandwidth which was twice that of a conventional FBG.

In this work, we study the physical layer solutions for 10-gigabit-capable passive optical networks (PONs), particularly for an optical link terminal (OLT) including a 10-Gbit/s electroabsorption modulated laser (EML) and a 2.5-Gbit/s burst mode receiver (BM-Rx) in a novel bidirectional optical subassembly (BOSA). As unique features, a bidirectional mini-flat package and a 9-pin TO package are developed for a 10-gigabit-capable PON OLT BOSA composed of a 1,577-nm EML and a 1,270-nm avalanche photodiode BM-Rx, including a single-chip burst mode integrated circuit that is integrated with a transimpedance and limiting amplifier. In the developed prototype, the 10-Gbit/s transmitter and 2.5-Gbit/s receiver characteristics are evaluated and compared with the physical media dependent (PMD) specifications in ITU-T G.987.2 for XG-PON1. By conducting the 10-Gbit/s downstream and 2.5-Gbit/s upstream transmission experiments, we verify that the developed 10-gigabitcapable PON PMD prototype can operate for extended network coverage of up to a 40-km fiber reach.

We have analyzed the performance of optical matched filters in the fiber-optic code division multiple access (FO-CDMA) system based on optical parallel coupler access encoder (PCAE) and parallel coupler access decoder (PCAD) by experiment. In previous studies, the performance evaluation of the FO-CDMA system using SCAE and SCAD was not sufficiently accurate because they analyzed system performance only considering the first order signals. Since optical SCAE and SCAD intrinsically have high order signals of various patterns as the number of coupler increases, they change auto- and cross-correlation intensities. Thus, it is necessary to investigate properties of the PCAE and PCAD so that we may analyze the exact performance of system. In this paper, it is found that the peak to sidelobe ratio using the PCAE and PCAD increases as $\alpha$ (coupling coefficient) value increases. Also, we found that the proposed PCAE and PCAD are superior to SCAE and SCAD in performance improvement.
