An economical wavelength-division-multiplexed passive optical network (WDM-PON) system is realized by directly modulating a wavelength-seeded light source to transmit upstream or downstream data, without using an expensive external modulator. A multiplexed signal having the same wavelength as the waveguide grating is generated and used to control the temperature of the waveguide grating and adjust the wavelength of a wavelength-division-multiplexed signal routed to a transfer link. The wavelength selectivity and stabilization of each light source are not required. Since upstream and downstream signals can be multiplexed and demultiplexed concurrently by each waveguide grating located in the central office and the remote node, it is possible to reduce the number of waveguide gratings used in a WDM optical network. In addition, upstream and downstream signals can be transmitted concurrently using a single-strand transfer optical fiber, thereby realizing an economical and efficient WDM-PON.

A multi-wavelength optical transmitter which multiplexes a plurality of channels having different wavelengths into an optical signal for output includes lasers for generating mode-locked channels by corresponding incoherent light received in the lasers. The transmitter also has a semiconductor optical amplifier for amplifying, while in a gain saturation state, the optical signal multiplexed by the multiplexer/demultiplexer. Light from a broadband light source is directed by a circulator to the multiplexer/demultiplexer for demultiplexing among the lasers. Light back from the lasers is multiplexed and then directed by the circulator and amplified by a semiconductor optical amplifier for output external to the transmitter.

Disclosed is a method and an apparatus for recognizing characters using an image. A camera is activated according to a character recognition request and a preview mode is set for displaying an image photographed through the camera in real time. An auto focus of the camera is controlled and an image having a predetermined level of clarity is obtained for character recognition from the images obtained in the preview mode. The image for character recognition is character-recognition-processed so as to extract recognition result data. A final recognition character row is drawn that excludes non-character data from the recognition result data. A first word is combined including at least one character of the final recognition character row and a predetermined maximum number of characters. A dictionary database that stores dictionary information on various languages using the first word is searched, so as to provide the user with the corresponding word.
