Abstract

In accordance with the PON(passive optical network) could be setup, effective connections with light sources, optical detectors, and optical fibers are the best sensitive points to represent the efficiency of network. Therefore, in this paper we designed and fabricated optical transceiver connection chip that was consisted of channel waveguide, Y-branch, and CWDM on the 2" BK7 glass substrate. This chip can be used for 1.31/1.55${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CWDM network and 1.55${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ region dense WDM network.work.

본 논문에서는 유리집적광학을 이용하여 채널 도파로, Y-분리기, CWDM 등의 개별소자와 이들을 하나의 유리기판위에 평면형으로 집적하겨 제작함으로써 1.31/1.55㎛ CWDM(Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing) 및 1.55㎛ 대역 DWDM (Dense WDM) 수동 광 망에 적용할 수 있도록 하였다. CWDM에 적용한 결과, 1.55㎛ 파장에서는 30㏈, 1.31㎛ 파장에서는 15㏈ 이상의 교차 비를 얻을 수 있었다.
