    Surface-plasmon polaritons (SPPs) act as extraordinary electromagnetic waves having spatially squeezed field intensity distributions, that couple with oscillation of dense conductive matter and propagate at a metal-dielectric interface. Plasmon-mode metal waveguides are the channels to support their propagation. Characterization based on Maxwell equations gives clear understanding of the plasmon mode in terms of their propagation properties, such as dispersion relations. The method is extended to the analysis of the waveguides with slab structures. Experiments performed with devices having simple metal stripes on dielectric substrates and devices having micro-strip structures to show their promising performance for future ultra-high density photonic integration. An innovative trial of light confinement in a small space, where free-space light waves can never exist, is further described.

    Current status of optical communication devices based on planar lightwave circuits is described from the technical and marketing points of view. The main market place for optical devices has been shifting from the trunk networks to metropolitan networks in which Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) systems are deployed for quick provisioning. In this situation, the prerequisite features for optical devices are the low cost, the compactness and the automatic controllability in optical power of each WDM signal. The prospect on the planar lightwave circuits is also presented in the view of the future trend of the lightwave systems.

    Waveguide-type quasi-phase matched (QPM) nonlinear-optic devices offer numerous applications in optoelectronics area. Wavelength converters based on QPM difference frequency generation (DFG) have advantages of wide wavelength coverage, wide bandwidth, high efficiency, high transparency for various data format, low noise and integration compatibility. Various ultrafast optical signal processing such as optical sampling and optical gate switching can also be performed. Recent progress in this subarea is reviewed with emphasis on research work of the author’s group using LiNbO3 QPM waveguides.

    We have proposed and demonstrated a vertically coupled microring resonator (VCMRR) filter. This configuration has many features, such as the independent optimum design of lower waveguide and upper ring, and the possibility of dense integration resulting from the cross-grid configuration. In addition, the coupling strength between the ring and bus waveguides can be controlled more precisely than the lateral coupling, because the vertical separation is obtained by the well controlled deposition rather than etching fine gaps. In this review, the recent progress in the development of compact integrated photonic functional devices using micro-ring resonator is reported. The key features of the vertically coupled micro-ring resonator filters are summarized and the potential applications of the filters leading to the development of ultra-dense integrated photonic circuits are described.

    By use of localized modification of transparent materials with femtosecond laser pulses the fabrication of three-dimensional photonic device was become possible. In this paper, we report on the fabrication technique of three-dimensional optical devices. We show that the waveguides and the couplers can be fabricated by use of the filamentation of femtosecond laser pulses. We report on the formation and the movement of submicrometer vacancies, called voids and also the formation of three-dimensional shapes of long holes with microscopic diameters. Finally we show the formation of Bragg gratings in soda-lime glass by two-beam interference.

    We propose a new method that uses a plume produced by a pulsed laser for triggering arc discharge in a tungsten inert gas (TIG) arc welding system. When a pulsed laser is focused onto an aluminum alloy plate (anode) placed under a tungsten rod (cathode), an arc is discharged between the electrodes through a plume generated from the laser focusing spot. The disadvantages of the conventional triggering methods that require high-frequency generation, high-voltage pulse, or may cause sticking of the rod to the plate are removed in the new method. We also investigate the minimum laser energy required for triggering, and find that laser irradiation in Ar gas is preferable for triggering arc discharge in the TIG arc welding system.
