    Abstract: Disclosed is a frequency swept source apparatus including a mode locking laser that outputs an input optical signal having first to n-th frequency components, a transmission delay controller that generates first to m-th sub-optical signals, each of which includes at least one component of the first to n-th frequency components, and outputs a delay optical signal obtained by sequentially delaying the first to m-th sub-optical signals. The transmission delay controller includes a demultiplexer that outputs the first to m-th sub-optical signals to first to m-th channels based on the input optical signal, respectively, a path delay unit that adjusts lengths of optical paths of the first to m-th channels so as to be different from one another, a refractive index controller that adjusts a refractive index of each of the first to m-th channels, and a multiplexer that combines the first to m-th sub-optical signals.

    Abstract: An optical beamforming device includes an RF front-end transmitting or receiving RF signals and an optical beamformer forming or compensating for a time delay for each of the plurality of channels based on the RF signals. The optical beamformer includes E/O converters converting the RF signals into optical signals, respectively, a linear modulator generating an optical modulation signal based on an RF input signal, a TTD array outputting an optical combined signal obtained by compensating for a time delay degree of the input optical signals or outputting output optical signals, in each of which a time delay is formed for each channel, by distributing the optical modulation signal, a photo detector generating an RF output signal to an RF back-end based on the optical combined signal, and O/E converters converting the output optical signals into RF signals, respectively.

    Abstract: A method of operating a wavelength swept source apparatus includes generating a single mode light, and generating a basic optical comb including light rays having identical frequency differences with adjacent light rays by modulating the generated single mode light. The method further includes generating other optical combs that include the same number of light rays as that of light rays of the optical comb that has a frequency band different from that of the basic optical comb, and is distributed in a frequency band wider than that in which the basic optical comb is distributed, by modulating the light rays of the basic optical comb. The light rays of the basic optical comb and the light rays included in the other optical combs are sequentially emitted according to frequencies of the light rays of the basic optical comb and the light rays included in the other optical combs.
