LED나 laser diode와 optical fiber의 coupling efficiency를 높이기 위해서는 lens의 곡율반경을 작게 하는 것이 효과적이다. 본 연구에서는 heating and pulling 반경에 의한 tapered lens를 고안함으로써 최적 size의 lens 제작을 용이하게 하였으며, taper의 특성을 이용하여 고효율 coupling을 가능하게 하였다. 이론적 계산에 의하여 90%까지의 light coupling이 가능함을 보였으며, 실험결과 flat end에 대한 improvement factor는 LED에서 3dB, laser diode에서 6dB까지 증가시킬 수 있었다. epoxy를 사용하여 LED에 pigital을 부착한 결과 온도특성 및 기계적 안정성에서 실용화에 충분할 정도로 우수하였다.

This paper reports a side-coupled asymmetric $1{\times}2$ plastic optical fiber coupler for an optical sensor system. The dependence of the optical power coupling ratio on the coupling angle and refractive index of the adhesion layer in both the forward and backward directions was examined based on the geometrical optics. It was confirmed experimentally that the coupling ratios can be optimized by controlling the coupling angle and refractive index of the adhesion layer. A maximum forward coupling efficiency > 93% was achieved.

Optical aligning process to archive the maximum optical coupling is crucial in many optical device manufacturing line such as laser diode module. Due to the three-dimensional nature of housing module and the aligning process for laser diode coupler, large amount of the manufacturing time, typically ranging from tens of minutes to an hour has to be devoted to the aligning process alone. In this thesis, we propose a new optical aligning process that employee a two-pass algorithm: coarse-to-fine search. Coarse search is a kind of blind search that finds the candidate region where the maximum optical coupling might mostly occur, followed by a fine searching that finds the maximum within the candidate region. The algorithm has been tested on 50 samples of cam-type laser diode modules, and the experimental results are analyzed in terms of aligning time and coupling efficiency.

광 평면 유전체 기판 위에 형성된 금속격자구조의 누설특성을 이용한 새로운 광 결합용 필터를 제안하였고, Bragg 조건들을 모드 전송선로 이론을 사용하여 정확하게 분석하였다. 수치해석 결과, 유전체격자구조로 구성된 기존의 DFB는 전송 모드들의 피드백특성에 기인한 차단대역을 형성하지만 금속격자구조는 누설파특성에 기인한 차단대역을 형성하는 것으로 나타났다. 결국, 누설파 필터특성을 적용한 광 결합용 필터는 LD나 광섬유와 같은 광통신용 소자들과 집적이 가능함을 보였다.

A new fiber coupling scheme using thermally over-expanded core(TOEC) fiber was proposed and demonstrated. In the coupling experiment between 1.3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ FP-LD and the proposed TOEC fiber with a tapered hemispherical microlens. superior performances such as a long working distance, a high coupling efficiency, and large misalignment tolerances were verified experimentally.

We designed a multimode interference (MMI) coupler to use in vertical coupling of double layered polymeric waveguides and analyzed the coupling characteristics by comparing our experimental and simulation results. We found that our proposed new structure, a stepped MMI coupler, is effective in vertical coupling between waveguide layers with a short length of MMI and has a high tolerance for the variation in the structure of an MMI coupler that can be induced as errors in the fabrication process.

Optical collimating lenses are play a role as maintenance parallel light and as a kind of optical collimating lens, there is Ball lenses, GRIN-rod lenses, spherical lenses and aspherical lenses etc. but recently GRIN lens has monopolized a market. The performance of optical collimator depended on the coupling efficiency. In this paper, we were compared and analyzed to be measured values of coupling efficiency with respect to optical working distance using GRIN rod lenses and spherical lenses. In the case of GRIN lenses with a beam size of 420 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, the minimum coupling efficiency was obtained to a measured value of 0.15 ㏈ and in the case of spherical lenses was obtained to a measured value of 0.12 ㏈ on the same condition. In results, we found that a performance of spherical lenses be better as compared with a that of GRIN lens.

Y-branch directional coupler type optical modulators with three different coupling lengths were fabricated on z-cut LiNbO3 and tested at λ-1.3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. One device gad an exact coupling length for complete power transfer and two other devices had coupling lengths. It was confirmed that, for dc operation, experimental results agreed well with theoretical results.

In this study, a beam-coupling system is designed to improve the coupling efficiency of achip-integrated spectrometer when the waveguide is arranged in a linear and discrete manner. In the proposed system the beam is shaped to be anti-Gaussian, to deposit adequate energy in the edge waveguides. The beam is discretely coupled to the corresponding waveguide by a microlens array, to improve the coupling efficiency, and is compressed by a toroidal lens to match the linear discrete waveguides. Based on the findings of this study, the coupling efficiency of the spectrometer is shown to increase by a factor of 2.57. Accordingly, this study provides a reference basis for the improvement of the coupling efficiency of other similar spectrometers.

본 논문에서는 광전송시스템에서 파장분할다중화 광소자로 사용되는 박막필터형 광소자의 특성 분석 및 평가를 위해 입력광원을 모델링 하였으며 광경로에 대해 광선추적법을 사용하여 전산모의 한 광특성을 실험과 비교, 분석하였다. 그 결과 입력광원에 대한 cell 방식의 모델링이 결합효율의 정확도 및 가우시안 강도분포에 접근성을 볼 때 마이크로 옵틱스형 광소자 분석함에 있어 적합함을 알 수 있다. 박막필터형 광소자에 대한 최적 전산모의 결과 광섬유와 GRIN 렌즈 사이 거리가 0.24mm이며 GRIN 렌즈와 박막필터 사이 거리가 0.25mm일 때 최대 결합효율은 -0.11 ㏈이었으며 동일한 조건에의 실험결과 -0.35 ㏈의 최대 결합효율을 얻었다. 이것은 단심 및 이심페룰, GRIN 렌즈 등과 같은 구성품의 불완전성과 박막필터에 의한 손실을 고려할 때, 전산모의 결과와 매우 일치하는 것으로서 본 연구에서 제안한 입력광원의 모델링을 적용한 전산모의가 박막필터형 광소자의 특성을 예측할 수 있음을 보였다.
