In this paper, a photonic-based microwave system technology is described, and a traveling-wave electro-optic modulator is designed and manufactured as a key component. The fabricated modulator is composed of a metal diffusion waveguide for optical transmission and a planar waveguide electrode on lithium niobate substrate for microwave transmission. The electro-optic response bandwidth of I and Q channels in a fabricated dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator were measured for 27.67 and 28.11 GHz, respectively. Photonic four times up-converted X-band frequency and linear frequency modulated signal were confirmed using the fabricated electro-optic modulator by S-band input signal. The confirmed broadband signal can be applied to a microwave system for surveillance and high-resolution ISAR imaging.

Diffuse optical wireless (DOW) systems have the advantage that they do not require point-to-point siting so one transmitter can communicate with several receivers. In this paper, we investigate multiple access scheduling methods for downlink orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) in diffuse optical wireless networks. Unlike the radio frequency (RF) channel, the DOW channel has low-pass filter characteristics and so requires different scheduling methods than those developed for the RF channel. Multi-user diversity orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems nominate a cluster of subcarriers with the largest signal-to-noise-ratio for transmission. However, in a DOW channel, most users would choose the lowest frequency clusters of subcarriers. To remedy this problem, we make two proposals. The first is to use a variable cluster size across the subcarriers; the lower frequency clusters will have fewer subcarriers while the higher frequency clusters will have more subcarriers. This will equalize the capacity of the clusters. The second proposal is to randomize a user's cluster selection from a group of clusters satisfying a minimum threshold. Through simulation it is shown that combining these strategies can increase the throughput while ensuring a fair distribution of the available spectrum.

We report the fabrication of double clad fiber (DCF) and DCF coupler, suitable for fiber based imaging systems requiring the dual-channel transmission. Unlike the conventional DCF which uses silica for both cladding layers, the proposed DCF uses a low-index polymer for its outer-cladding layer coated over the conventional silica inner-cladding layer. The DCF is drawn with a conventional SMF preform but a low-index polymer coating is used for both jacket and outercladding of the fiber. To achieve the cladding mode coupling, a DCF coupler is fabricated by simply twisting two pieces of the proposed DCF after removing the polymer-coating at contacting regions. A cladding mode coupling ratio of 30% was achieved with a contact length of 16 cm. The proposed DCF and DCF coupler were employed in a composite optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fluorescence spectroscopy (FS) system, and both OCT images and FS signal from a plant tissue are measured simultaneously.

A large incoherent crosstalk (IC) caused by amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise power from Tx-disabled optical network units and a differential path loss has been shown to degrade upstream transmission performance in time-division multiplexing passive optical networks. This paper considers the IC-induced power penalty of an upstream signal both in an XG-PON and in a TWDM-PON. We investigate the degradation of the extinction ratio and relative intensity noise through a simulation and experiments. For the XG-PON case, we observe a 9.6 dB difference in the level of ASE noise power from Tx-disabled ONUs (hereafter known simply as ASE noise) between our result and the ITU-T XG-PON PMD recommendation. We propose an optical filtering method to mitigate an IC-induced power penalty. In the TWDM-PON case, the IC-induced power penalty is naturally negligible because the ASE noise is filtered by a wavelength multiplexer at the optical line terminal. The results provide design guidelines for the level of ASE noise in both XG-PONs and TWDM-PONs.

The proposed optical transmitter is composed of FF(flip flop) , PLL (phase locked loop), reference clock generator, serializer and LD driver 10x250 Mb/s data arrays are translated to the 2.5 Gb/s data signal by serializer. In this case, 1 data bus is allocated usually as a reference clock for synchronization. In this proposed optical transmitter, 125 MHz reference clock is generated from 10x250 Mb/s data arrays by reference clock generator. From this method. absent of reference clock bus is available and more data transmission become possible. To achieve high speed operation, the serializer circuit is designed as two stacks. For 10:1 serialization, 10 clocks that have 1/10 lambda differences is essential, so the VCO (voltage controlled oscillator) composed of 10 delay buffers is designed. PLL is for runing at 250 MHz, and dual PFD(phase frequency detector) is adopted for fast locking time. The optical transmitter is designed by using 0.35 um CMOS technology.

In this paper, the optimal position of optical phase conjugator(OPC) excellently compensating distorted WDM channels with initial frequency chirp due to both chromatic dispersion and self phase modulation(SPM) is numerically investigated. Highly-nonlinear dispersion shifted fiber(HNL-DSF) is used as a nonlinear medium of OPC in order to widely compensate WDM signal band. It is confirmed that if the OPC position was shifted from mid-way of total transmission length dependence on the initial frequency chirp as well as modulation format and fiber dispersion coefficient, it is possible to cancel the performance degradation owing to the initial frequency chirp. Using proposed configuration, it is possible to remove all in-line dispersion compensator, reducing span losses and system costs in the long-haul broadband WDM systems.

This paper proposes a new link structure that transmits power, clock, and data through a single optical fiber for a future automotive network. A pulse-position modulation (PPM) technique is adopted to guarantee a DC-balanced signal for robust power transmission regardless of transmitted data pattern. Further, circuit implementations and theoretical analyses for the proposed PPM transceiver are described in this paper. A prototype transceiver fabricated in 65-nm CMOS technology, is used to verify the PPM signaling part of the proposed system. The prototype achieves a $10^{-13}$ bit-error rate and 0.188-UI high frequency jitter tolerance while consuming 14 mW at 800 Mb/s.

고속 데이터 전송을 함에 있어서 레이저 다이오드(LD)를 이용한 광접속 시스템은 최근 중요한 화두가 되고 있다. LD에 의하여 변조된 광신호는 광자와 캐리어의 동역학적 특성에 영향을 받으며, 이와 같은 LD의 동작 특성을 위해하기 위해서는 율방정식(Rate Equation)을 분석해야만 한다. 본 논문에서는 유한차분법(FDM)을 이용하여 율방정식을 분석하기 위한 모델을 제시하였으며, 이때 주입되는 전류부분에 디지털 혹은 아날로그 신호를 인가함으로써, 광접속 시스템에서 LD의 대역폭, SFDR (Spurious Free Dynamic Rage) 그리고 비선형 특성을 분석하였다.

근래의 네트워크에선, 다양하고, 증가된 네트워크의 트래픽을 수용하기 위해 정보의 전달매체는 전기적인 신호에서 보다 빠른 빛으로 그 매개체가 바뀌어 가고 있다. 본 논문에서는 AweSim을 이용하여 성능 분석 프로그램을 개발하고, 초고속 광가입자 분배망으로 EPON에 대해 여러 가지 조건으로 시뮬레이션 하였다. ONU의 개수에 따른 영향, 부하변화에 따른 영향, 슬롯 할당방식에 따른 영향 등을 살펴보았다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 분배망의 트래픽 처리에는 ONU의 개수, 타임 슬롯의 할당 방식이 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 판단되며, 고정길이 슬롯 할당방식 보다는 가변 슬롯 수 할당방식이 트래픽 처리에 효율적인 것으로 분석되었다.

무선 광 통신 시스템에서 고속의 데이터를 전송하기 위한 방법으로 대역 효율이 높은 OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 시스템이 연구되고 있다. OFDM 시스템은 PAPR(peak to average power ratio)이 높고 비선형 에러와 디바이스의 불균형으로 발생하는 ICI(inter channel interference)가 발생한다. 무선 광통신 시스템에서 LED(light emission diode)의 구동 전류에 의하여 구동되는 광 출력 파워는 비선형이며 전송 신호는 왜곡된다. 그러므로 비선형 LED 전달함수와 OFDM 신호에 의한 방사된 광 출력의 수신 성능에 대한 연구가 진행되었다. 비선형 왜곡에 의해 발생하는 효과는 기존의 무선 통신에서 사용되는 OFDM의 비선형 특성과 다르며 BER 성능을 저감시킨다. 본 연구에서는 최근 연구된 LED의 비선형성 전달함수를 적용하며, 비선형 왜곡과 Back-off에 의하여 수신기의 주파수영역에서 진폭 감쇄와 ICI를 발생시키므로, BER 성능을 개선시키기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 LED의 비선형 왜곡을 감소시키기 위한 새로운 PAPR저감 기법을 제안하며, 또한 수산 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 적응형 채널 추정 방식과 전송된 신호를 사용하여 SNR(signal to power ratio)을 개선하여 BER(bit error rate)을 개선하였다. 제안된 방법들을 시뮬레이션 결과를 통하여 확인한다.
