    Abstract: Provided is an optical deflector for deflecting radiation beams. The optical deflector includes: a peripheral region having a first effective refractive index; and a deflection pattern region having a predetermined shape and a second effective refractive index, wherein the second effective refractive index differs from the first effective refractive index. Here, due to the deflection pattern region having the predetermined shape, the radiation beams are deflected in a direction starting from a certain point. By using the optical deflector, the locus of a light source can be designed in one of various forms, such as a straight line, a circle, an ellipse, or a parabola.

    Abstract: Provided is a wavelength tunable light source that can electrically tune wavelengths by monolithically integrating an optical amplifier, a beam steering unit, and a concave diffraction grating on a single substrate. A beam is deflected by the beam steering unit when an electrical signal is applied to two electrodes installed in the beam steering unit to be incident on the diffraction grating, and then diffracted by the diffraction grating according to the incidence angle such that part of the beam with a specific wavelength is reflected, thereby achieving wavelength tuning. Since the wavelength tuning is achieved electrically, the wavelength tunable light source is structurally stable and has a rapid wavelength tuning rate.

    Abstract: Provided is a frequency-tunable terahertz light source device. The frequency-tunable terahertz light source device satisfies a Littrow diffraction condition at a wavelength and simultaneously satisfies a Littman-Metcalf diffraction condition at another wavelength using a double diffraction grating having two grating periods. Thus, oscillations simultaneously occur at the two different wavelengths, such that a terahertz wave can be stably generated by beating of the two oscillation wavelengths. In addition, the frequency-tunable terahertz light source device can readily change a frequency up to several terahertz and can be fabricated in a small size.

    Abstract: Provided is a tunable external cavity laser diode using a variable optical deflector wherein the variable optical deflector, in which a refractive index varies according to an electrical signal, is arranged in a triangular shape between a concave diffraction grating and a reflective mirror. Since a resonant frequency is changed using the electrical signal rather than the mechanical movement, the stable operation and continuous high-speed tenability may be enabled. In addition, when the tunable external cavity laser diode according to the present invention is implemented in an InP/InGaAsP/InP slab waveguide, a variable time determined by the carrier lifetime may be reduced to several nanoseconds or less, the miniaturization is enabled, and the manufacturing costs are significantly reduced due to the process simplification. Moreover, when the concave diffraction grating is designed based on a silica (or polymer) based slab waveguide, the fabrication may be performed even by a lithography process having low resolution, thereby enhancing reproducibility and uniformity of the diffraction grating, and accordingly reducing the manufacturing costs.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to all-optical OR and XOR logic elements employing saturable absorbers as optical gates. Saturable absorbers are arranged in paths of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer, respectively. If the total power of an input optical signal and a continuous wave signal is higher than a transparent input power of the saturable absorbers, the input optical signal passes through the saturable absorbers, and then the optical signals through the two paths are combined, so that it is possible to obtain the operational characteristics of the OR and XOR logic elements. According to the present invention, unlike the optical logic element using a cross-phase modulation by a semiconductor optical amplifier, phase difference depending upon the input optical power is not generated between two paths, so that it is possible to alleviate a restriction of an allowable range of the input optical power.
