A low loss x-cut $LiNbO_3$optical waveguide was fabricated by Yi in-diffusion, and the properties of guided-mode and the total insertion loss of the pigtailed waveguide with polarization maintaining fiber(PMF) were measured at optical wavelength 1550nm. for forming the waveguides, the parameters of diffusion, Ti thickness, waveguide line-width, length, diffusion temperature, time and atmosphere were set $1400{\AA}$, $8{\mu}m$, 3.3cm, $1050^{\circ}C$, 8 hours and wet bubbled oxygen, respectively. And then after the polishing and piatailing, it showed that the total insertion loss was -4.1dB for TM mode, -5.5dB for TE mode, and mode size, that is, the horizontal/ vertical size were $13.8{\mu}m/18{\mu}m$ for TM mode, $9.6{\mu}m/6.5{\mu}m$ for TE mode.

In this study, $Co^{60}$ gamma-ray induced loss on Ge-doped single mode (SM) fiber has been measured. Gamma-ray is irradiated for 4 hours at the dose rate of 0.5 kGy/hr, 2 kGy/hr, 8 kGy/hr. Consequently, gamma-ray induced loss based on radiation effects in Ge-doped SM fiber occur significantly. Furthermore, dose rate effect was observed, that dose rate using the same total dose increased higher, then optical fiber loss increased more. Also annealing effect was observed, that the loss after irradiation, increased higher, then the recovery rate of loss was increased. This results are foreseen to be base data in the future radiation-hardened optical fiber study.

A high reflectance mirror, which has very low absorption and scattering loss, was coated onto a crystalline substrate by ion beam sputtering and then annealed at $450^{\circ}C$. We carefully selected the mirror coating material, and designed the high reflectance mirror, in order to avoid UV degradation which comes from the He-Ne plasma. We measured the surface roughness of the Zerodur substrate using phase shift interferometry and atomic force microscopy, and compared it with the TIS scattering of the mirror. The cavity ring-down method was used to measure the absorption of the mirror, and the thin film structure was correlated to its results. We also compared the optical properties of coated mirrors before and after annealing.

In this paper, transmitter and receiver modules for free space optical interconnection are implemented and characterized. In the transmitter module, bias circuitry which inject current into the direct modulated laser diode is fabricated and in the receiver module, p-i-n diode is integrated with an MMIC amplifying stage. Laser diode has a direct-modulated bandwidth of 2 GHz at 1.4 Ith bias while p-i-n diode and amplifying stage has a bandwidth of 1.3 GHz and 1.5 GHz, repectively. Optical interconnection has a bandwidth of 1.3 GHz and linearly transmit modulated voltage signal up to 1.5 Vp-p. Measured loss of optical interconnection is 5dB which is composed of optoelectronic conversion loss of 15 dB, electrical impedance mismatch loss of 6.7 dB in transmitter module and gain of 18 dB in receiver module. Seperation between transmitter and receiver can be extended up to 50 cm by using a lens.

This paper proposes OPTICAL MARKER fer registering process - one of the 3D measurement process : scan registering - merging - measurement. If the registering work is carried out manually, it can be accompanied with much time and many errors. Because the patterned marker make registering process automatic, many firms use it now. But the physical shape of existing markers is the source of the data loss caused by hiding surface, and the marker arrangement is the source of the time loss. The optical marker proposed in this paper has marker generator, organized a large number of binary coded control laser diode, separate from 3D scan object. So, it does not take much time for the marker disposition, and it is not the origin of the data loss, and the binary coded laser information make the auto-registering possible.

In this paper the tactile sensor system based on the bending loss of optical fiber sensor is presented. The sensor array was designed with fabric structure. The optical measuring system was composed of LED for light source and CCD camera for the signal light detector. Performance of this tactile sensor system was evaluated in various environments and compared with Harmon's design criteria. The result shows that load range is 3 g$\sim$100 g, resolution is 1.5 g, hysteresis error is 1.5%. The response linearity is good and flexibility of sensor array is excellent.

In this study, an optical fiber assembly directly coupled with a laser diode or a photo diode is designed to confirm high reliable optical coupling efficiency of optical transmitter(Tx) and receiver(Rx). The optical fiber assembly is fabricated by soldering an optical fiber and a Kovar ferrule using a glass solder after inserting an optical fiber through a Kovar ferrule. The Kovar which has good welding characteristics is applied to introduce laser welding technique. The glass solder has excellent thermal characteristics such as thermal shift delamination compared with PbSn, AuSn solder previously used usually. Furthermore, the glass solder doesn't need fiber metalization and this enables low cost fabrication. However, the glass soldering is high temperature process over 35$0^{\circ}C$ and the convex shape after solidification due to surface tension causes the stress concentration on optical fiber. The stress concentration on the optical fiber increases the optical insertion loss and possibility of crack formation. The shape of glass solder was designed referring to 2-D Axi-symmetric FEM simulation. To test the mechanical reliability, mechanical vibration test and shock test were done according to Telcorida GR-468-Core protocol. After each test, the optical loss of the stress distributed fiber assembly didn't exceed 0.5 dB, which passes the test.

In this paper, an OPS(Optical Protection Socket) unit is designed and prototyped for the application in the optical CPN(Customer Premises Network). The OPS unit, which plays an important role in the CPN for the enhanced network reliability, is consisted of $1{\times}2$ optical fiber splitter, combiner, and $1{\times}1$ optical switch to be a hybrid-typed unit. Various considerations, about power burget and optical information loss have given the most practical design for OPS. From the measurement of the realized OPS unit, it has proved such as the pertinent switching delay time with minimum data loss, the perceptive ability on the ONU degradation, the switching ability on the ONU malfunction.

A switch is a component with two or more ports that selectively transmits, redirects, or blocks optical power in a fiber transmission line. Our switch uses rotation mechanism using stepping motor, hence the common optical fiber can scan and allign to one of the arrayed N optical fibers to provide optical path by electronic precise control. The developed switch is consisted of switching module and its control module. The performance parameters of a switching loss and a repeatability are considered very important. We performed the study to reduce the switching loss and improve the repeatability of switch. The switch can be widely used as a test instrument of optical device and of optical cable in factory, also of optical cable monitoring systems.
