In this paper, we present high-temperature characteristics of tunable all-optic filter using fiber Bragg grating(FBG), including peak reflectivity, FWHM bandwidth, refractive index change along temperature variation. The characteristics of a FBG tunable filter with refractive index change is affected by its thermal stability.

Technology development toward the use of LiNbO3-based acoustic tunable filters as WDM 2$\times$2 cross-connect switches is reviewed. Recenly, it was found that a fundamental behavior of multi-wavelength Bragg scattering critically affects the crosstalk performance of the acousto-optic tunable filter. We revuew serveral reported methods of overcoming the performance degradation. We will eventually ask whether the device is up to task of WDM optical switching.

In this paper, we present the fabrication and performance of tunable capacitors with various structural geometry of plates. Experimental devices have been fabricated using Cu-electroplating techniques and standard MEMS techniques. In particular, the thickness of electroplated Cu is designed below $0.5{\mu}m$ for lower actuation voltage. The fabricated tunable capacitors has been tested from $OV{\sim}42V$ and achieves a tuning ratio of $46%{\sim}64.2%$.

We propose a tunable add/drop filter in a form of an all-fiber mach-zehnder interferometer iwth one bragg grating at each arm. This device can be tuned by inducing a strain in the bragg grating. We also theoretically analyze the outut characteristics of the tunable add/drop filter. As a result of simulation, we know that the proposed tunable add/drop filter works well. When 2*10$^{-3}$ of strain is induced, the reflected spectrum shifts about 3nm. And its reflected spectral width is about 0.3nm. In this case roughly 5 channels can be tuned, assuming the channel spacing is 0.3nm. When the pathlengths of the both arms are not the same, the transmissivities at the add and output ports and the reflectivity at the tap port varies sinusoidally with the pthlength difference. To maintain the transmissivities above 90% in the wavelength tuning range of 20nm the pathlength difference less than 16.mu.m is required.

Spectral resolution enhancement method of Acousto-Optic Tunable Filter (AOTF) using incident light angle variation is described. AOTF is a small, mechanically rigid, high speed and spectral resolution light tunable filter. The basic theory of AOTF and its experimental verification is described. AOTF can generate two opposite polarized light simultaneously which wavelength can be changed by incident angle variation. We focused on the common region of two filtered light at the specific incident angle. This region can be used to enhance the spectral resolution of AOTF.

This paper presents a design methodology for magnetically tunable X-band E-plane type waveguide filters. The proposed design is based on using of quarter wavelength transmission line for compensating the negative length transmission line of end K-inverters of E-plane type waveguide filters. The derived formulae are applied for initial design and the correction method is also provided for final design by considering the frequency dependent characteristic of K-inverters. The analysis results of E-plane pype waveguide structure loaded with ferrite slab are obtained using the edge based finite element method including higher order mode effecets. It is shown that the unilateral finline E-plane type waveguide filter as well as the bilateral finline E-plane type waveguide filter achieves the the manetically tunable characteristic. The X-band experimantal results for bilateral and unilateral finline E-plane type waveguide filters agree well with the simulated data.

A high-speed wavelength swept laser, which is based on oscillation characteristics of a fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter, is described. The laser is constructed by using a semiconductor optical amplifier, a fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter, and 3.348 km fiber ring cavity. The wavelength sweeps are repeatatively generated with the repetition period of 61 kHz which is the first parallel oscillation frequency of the Fabry-Perot tunable filter for the low power consumption. Mode-locking is implemented by 3.348 km fiber ring cavity for matching the fundamental of cavity roundtrip time to the sweep period. The wavelength tuning range of the laser is 87 nm(FWHM) and the average output power is 1.284 mW.

$(Pb_{1-x}Sr_x)TiO_3$ $(0.6{\leq}x{\leq}0.8)$ thin films were prepared by the MOD method for tunable microwave device application and their characteristics were investigated as a function of Sr content(x) and applied field. Thin films showed a homogeneous microstructure and the tetragonality(c/a) was slightly decreased with increasing Sr content. With increasing Sr content, Curie temperature of the thin films showed a decreasing tendency. For the PST thin films, the dielectric constant at room temperature, Tc, and $tan{\delta}$ were 750~1900, $-70^{\circ}{\sim}-30^{\circ}C$ and 0.025~0.04, respectively.

This study presents an 8x four-group inner-focus zoom lens with one-moving group for a compact camera by use of a focus tunable lens (FTL). In the initial design stage, we obtained the powers of lens groups by paraxial design based on thin lens theory, and then set up the zoom system composed of four lens modules. Instead of numerically analytic analysis for the zoom locus, we suggest simple analysis for that using lens modules optimized. After replacing four groups with equivalent thick lens modules, the power of the fourth group, which includes a focus tunable lens, is designed to be changed to fix the image plane at all positions. From this design process, we can realize an 8x four-group zoom system having one moving group by employing a focus tunable lens. The final designed zoom lens has focal lengths of 4 mm to 32 mm and apertures of F/3.5 to F/4.5 at wide and tele positions, respectively.
