This study examined a method for designing the optical cavity of a non-dispersive infrared gas detector. The infrared gas detector requires an optical cavity design to lengthen the ray path. However, the optical cavity with multiple reflecting surfaces has off-axis aberration due to the characteristics of the reflecting optical system. The rays were parallelized by using the off-axis parabolic mirror to easily increase the ray path and eliminate off-axis aberration so that the rays are admitted to the effective area of the infrared detector uniformly. A prototype of an infrared gas detector was produced with the designed optical cavity to confirm the performance.

We propose a centralized passive-optical-network monitoring scheme using the resonance-spectrum properties of a Fabry-Perot cavity based on fiber Bragg gratings. Each cavity consists of two identical uniform fiber Bragg gratings and a varying cavity length or grating length, which can produce a unique single-mode resonance spectrum for the drop-fiber link. The output spectral properties of each cavity can be easily adjusted by the cavity length or the grating length. The resonance spectrum for each cavity is calculated by the transfer-matrix method. To obtain the peak wavelength of the resonance spectrum more accurately, the effective cavity length is introduced. Each drop fiber with a specific resonance spectrum distinguishes between the peak wavelength or linewidth. We also investigate parameters such as reflectivity and bandwidth, which determine the basic performance of the fiber Bragg grating used, and thus the output-spectrum properties of the Fabry-Perot cavity. The feasibility of the proposed scheme is verified using the Optisystem software for a simplified 1 × 8 passive optical network. The proposed scheme provides a simple, effective solution for passive-optical-network monitoring, especially for a high-density network with small end-user distance difference.

This study is for the stable optical source in order to get the precision measurement, which contributes to help the laser frequency and the output to be settled. The laser optical frequency is changed by the length of resonance cavity. The length variation of the laser resonance amplitude is affected by the thermal expansion of that system. So, we try not only to adjust the temperature of the laser tube using the heater for fine length of resonance cavity, but also to maintain the fixed temperature of the resonance cavity for outputting the safe laser optical frequency. Therefore, we must take materials with the thermal expansion of the supporting system, which is closer to it of the laser resonance cavity. Using the materials, we can promote to stabilize the temperature of it. In advance, we also plan to get the settlement of the laser frequency and the output in the long km, optimizing and stabilizing the system.

본 연구에서는 NDIR(non dispersive infrared absorption) 가스센서의 소형화와 저가화를 목표로 2개의 오목 거울을 이용한 새로운 광 공동(optical cavity) 구조를 제안하고, 구조에 따른 광 출력 특성을 시뮬레이션하였다. Optical cavity는 광 경로증가 및 광 집속 구조로 설계하고, 각각의 출력단에서 검출되는 광 출력을 시뮬레이션한 결과 광 집속 구조의 팡 출력이 더 효율적임을 확인하였다. 집광구조에서의 광 출력을 최대로 하기 위해 광의 초점을 찾아보았다. 집광 구조를 사용하지 않는 단순 평행 광이 조사되는 경우, 적외선 센서부에 입사되는 광 출력은 최대 0.024W이다. 그러나 집광구조에서는 optical cavity의 광축에서 센서의 위치를 $15\sim20mm$까지 변화시켜 시뮬레이션한 결과 거리 18.83mm 일 때 조사되는 광 출력이 약 0.153W로 약 7배 증가됨을 확인하였다.

We introduce a scheme with a maximized efficiency of detecting atoms passing through an optical standing-wave mode cavity. Consider a standing-wave optical cavity illuminated by a weak probe beam through one of its mirrors where the transmission through the other mirror is monitored by a photodetector. If an atom is put in the cavity, the atom-cavity coupling shifts the resonance frequency of the system via the so-called normal mode splitting, and thereby the transmission power will drop. In fact, this type of atom detection scheme has been used in recent single atom trap experiments In practice, however, the field in a standing-wave mode will have a geometrical structure having nodes and antinodes that when the atom traverses the cavity through one of the nodes, there will be no such effect of atom-field interaction.

본 연구에서는 광 논리 및 광 접속에 응용할 수 있는 GaAs/AlGaAs 구조의 완전 공핍 광 싸이리스터(depleted optical thyristor, DOT)에 VCSEL(vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser diode)을 응용하여, 활성층 위, 아래에 1/4 파장 거울층(quarter wavelength reflector stacks)을 제작함으로서 본 구조에서 최초의 레이징 특성을 구현하였고, 그 특성을 측정, 분석하였다. 스위칭 특성을 알아보기 위하여 순방향 전압에서는 비선형 s-자형의 전류-전압 특성을, 역방향 전압에서는 완전 공핍 전압을 모의실험으로 알아보았다. 모의실험을 바탕으로 설계, 제작한 VCL-DOT(Vertical Cavity Laser - Depleted Optical Thyristor)의 스위칭 전압과 전류는 5.24 V, $5{\mu}A$ 이고, 홀딩 전압과 전류는 각각 1.50 V, $100{\mu}A$가 나왔다. 측정된 레이징 문턱 전류는 0.65 mA 이고, 출력 파장은 854.5 nm의 레이징 특성을 확인하였다.

Latching optical switches and optical logic gates AND and OR are demonstrated, for the first time, by the monolithic integration of a vertical cavity lasers with depleted optical thyristor structure, which have not only a low threshold current with 0.65 mA. but also a high on/off contrast ratio more than 50 dB. By simple operating technique with changing a reference switching voltage, this single device operates as two logic functions, optical logic AND and OR. The thyristor laser fabricated using the oxidation process achieved a high optical output power efficiency and a high sensitivity to the optical input light.

We have theoretically analyzed the monolithic integration of vertical cavity lasers with depleted optical thyristor (VCL-DOT) structure and experimentally demonstrated optical logic gates such as AND-gate, OR-gate, and INVERTER implemented by VCL-DOT for an optical programmable gate array. The optical AND and OR gates have been realized by changing a input bias of the single VCL-DOTs and all kinds of optical logic functions are also implemented by adjusting an intensity of the reference input beams into the differential VCL-DOTs. To achieve the high sensitivity, high slope efficiency and low threshold current, a small active region of lasing part and a wide detecting area are simultaneously designed by using a selective oxidation process. The fabricated devices clearly show nonlinear s-shaped current-voltage characteristics and lasing characteristics of a low threshold current with 0.65 mA and output spectrum at 854 nm.
