For the past five years, Inha University has been observing the electric fields produced by cloud-to-ground return strokes. This paper presents the summary of most recent results. Statistics on the zero-to-peak rise time, the zero-to-zero crossing time and the amplitude ratio of the second peak in the opposite polarity to the first peak were examined. The radiation electric fields produced by distant cloud-to-ground return strokes were substantially same pattern. The first return stroke field starts with a slowly increasing front and rises abruptly to peak. The rising portions of the electric fields produced by cloud-to-ground return strokes last 1 $mutextrm{s}$ to a few $mutextrm{s}$. The mean values of the zero-to-peak rise times of electric fields were 5.72 $mutextrm{s}$ and 4.12 $mutextrm{s}$ for the positive and the negative cloud-to-ground return strokes, respectively. The mean of the zero-to-zero crossing time for the positive return strokes was 29.48 $mutextrm{s}$ compared with 38.54 $mutextrm{s}$ for the negative return strokes. The depths of the dip after the peak of return stroke electric fields also have the dependence on the polarity of cloud-to-ground return stroke, and the mean values for the positive and negative cloud-to-ground return strokes were 33.55 and 28.19%, respectively.

All-optical non-return-to-zero (NRZ) -to- return-to-zero (RZ) data-format conversion has been successfully demonstrated using a semiconductor optical amplifier in a fiber-loop mirror (so-called SOA-loop mirror) with a continuous-wave (CW) holding beam. The converted RZ signal after pulse compression has been used to create a 40 Gb/s OTDM (Optical Time Division Multiplexing) signal. Here is proposed an NRZ-to-RZ conversion method without any additional optical clocks, unlike conventional methods based on optical AND logic. In addition, it has the merit of operating at various bit-rate speeds without any controlling device. Moreover, it has a simple structure, and it can be used for all-optical bit-rate-flexible clock recovery.

DFB 반사기가 집적된 다중전극 레이저 다이오드에 Return-to-zero (RZ) pseudorandom bit sequence (PRBS) 데이터와 nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) PRBS 데이터를 주입하여 이 신호로부터 광 클럭 신호를 추출하였다. 11.727 Gbit/s RZ PRBS 데이터와 NRZ PRBS 데이터로부터 재생된 광 클럭의 root-mean-square (rms) 타이밍 지터 (timing jitter)는 약 1 ps 정도로써 아주 우수한 결과를 얻어냈다. NRZ PRBS 데이터로부터 pseudo return-to-zero (PRZ) 데이터로 포맷변환을 구현하고, 클럭 성분을 갖고 있는 PRZ 신호를 이용하여 광 클럭을 추출하였다. 입력 PRZ데이터 신호의 rms 타이밍 지터는 2ps 이상일지라도 이로부터 추출해 낸 광 클럭의 rms 타이밍 지터는 1ps 정도의 좋은 특성을 얻어냈다.

We propose the performance enhancing method optimization of an asynchronous 2.5 Gbps/1.25 Gbps optical subscriber network with inverse RZ (Return to Zero) coded downstream and NRZ (Non Return to Zero) upstream re-modulation by adjusting threshold level control of a receiver. We theoretically analyze the BER (Bit Error Rate) performance by modeling the occurrence of BER by simulation with MATLAB according to the types of downstream data. The results have shown that the normalized threshold level in an optical receiver could be saturated at 1/3 as the SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) increases. The needed SNR for obtaining the BER $10^{-9}$ can be reduced by $\sim$5 dB by optimizing the normalized threshold level at 1/3 instead of by using the conventional receiver with threshold level of 0.5. The proposed system can be a useful technology for asynchronous optical access networks with asymmetric upstream and downstream data rates, because the improved minimum receiving power could replace a light source with a source with lower power and lower cost in an OLT (Optical Line Termination).

We compare the performance of a wavelength remodulated wavelength-division-multiplexed passive optical network implemented using Manchester-coded or inverse-return-to-zero (IRZ)-coded signal downstream and non-return-to-zero remodulated signal upstream. We investigate the effects of varying differences between downstream and upstream bit rates on the two coding schemes. When the bit rate ratio of upstream to downstream is less than or equal to 50%, the performance of Manchester coding is better than that of IRZ coding. However, when the bit rate ratio of upstream to downstream is higher than 50%, Manchester code requires appropriate time delay between upstream and downstream signals, whereas IRZ code needs reduced extinction ratio in the downstream signal.

We present and demonstrate a novel method of alternate-phase return-to-zero (RZ) signal generation and pulse-amplitude equalization simultaneously in a rational harmonic mode-locked fiber ring laser, using a dual-drive Mach-Zehnder (MZ) modulator. By adjusting the voltages applied to both arms of the modulator, the rational harmonic mode-locked pulse trains are equalized in their amplitudes. In addition to that, the amplitude-equalized pulse trains multiplying the repetition rate at ${\sim}10\;GHz$ have alternate $\pi$ phase difference between adjacent pulses. The alternate-phase RZ signal generated by the proposed method enhances transmission performance through the single-mode fiber (SMF) links without dispersion compensation.

In this work, in order to obtain the detailed information about lightning electromagnetic pulses, the electric fields radiated from multiple lightning return strokes were measured and analyzed statistically. The electric field measuring system consists of a hemisphere antenna of 30cm in diameter, integrator and data acquisition device, and its frequency bandwidth ranges from 200Hz to 1.56MHz, and the sensitivity is 0.96㎷/V/m. The electric field signals are digitized every 200ns with the transient signal analyzer having the resolution of 12-bit and the recording length of 5 kilowords and are registered at personal computer. As a result, the electric fields produced by the first return stroke begin with a slow initial part or front, which starts just after or during the last stepped leader. On the average the rise times of the electric fields for the positive first, second and third strokes are 4.21${\mu}\textrm{s}$, 3.94${\mu}\textrm{s}$ and 2.75${\mu}\textrm{s}$, respectively, and those for the negative first, second and third strokes are 3.46${\mu}\textrm{s}$, 3.15${\mu}\textrm{s}$ and 2.79${\mu}\textrm{s}$, respectively. The zero-crossing times of the electric fields for first return strokes range from about 10 to 80${\mu}\textrm{s}$. The mean zero-crossing times for subsequent return strokes are shorter than those for first lightning return strokes.

In an earlier work, we proposed the chromatic dispersion monitoring technique of non-return to zero (NRZ) signal based on clock-frequency component (CFC) through numerical simulations. However, we have not yet shown any experimental demonstration or analytic derivation of it. In this paper, we show an experimental demonstration and analytic derivation of the proposed chromatic dispersion monitoring technique. We confirm that the experimental results and the analytic results correspond with the simulation results. We also demonstrate that monitoring range and accuracy can be improved by using a simple clock-extraction method.

광통신 시스템에서는 제한된 대역폭에서 최상의 성능을 얻기 위해 다양한 신호형태가 사용되고 있다. 그중에서도 CSRZ (carrier-suppressed return-to-zero) 신호는 스펙트럼 효율이 높으면서도 색분산에 대해 비교적 강인한 특성을 지니고 있어 많이 사용되고 있다. 우리는 이러한 CSRZ 신호의 중요성을 파악하고, 이전의 연구에서 CSRZ 신호의 클럭 (clock) 성분을 이용하여 색분산을 감시하는 방법을 제시한 바가 있다. 하지만, 클럭 성분을 이용하여 색분산을 감시하는 방법은 송수신단의 대역폭에 의해 그 영향을 받을 수 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 CSRZ 신호에서 송수신단의 대역폭이 클럭 성분을 이용한 색분산 감시법에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 송수신단의 대역폭이 변하더라도 그 성능이 유지될 수 있는 강인한 클럭 추출법을 제시한다.

역 RZ 부호로 코딩된 하향신호의 재변조를 이용한 5Gbps/1.25Gbps WDM/TDM 하이브리드 PON 구조를 제안하고, 매트랩을 이용한 모의실험을 통하여 성능을 분석한다. 모의실험을 통하여 OLT와 ONU간 거리가 10km이고 오차율이 $10^{-9}$일 경우OLT에서의 광송신출력이 각각 -3.8, -0.9dBm 이상이면 OLT에 있는 1개의 OLT가 각각 8, 16개의 ONU와 접속이 가능함을 알 수 있다. 제안된 WDM/TDM 하이브리드 PON 시스템은 일반적인 TDM PON에서 ONU 수에 비례하여 시분할로 다중된 상향채널의 속도가 증가하게 되어 가입자에서 송신하는 상향채널의 데이터 속도가 제한을 받을 수 있는 문제점을 해결할 수 있고, ONU에서 광원 및 OLT에서 광파장 제어회로를 제거할 수 있어 비대칭 광가입자망에 유용한 방식임을 알 수 있다.
