Publication number: 20110292729Abstract: A method of controlling a non-volatile memory device includes comparing the number of banks that are in operating states with a threshold value. If the number of the banks is smaller than the threshold value, data stored in a standby bank is read. If there is no bank having data to be read, a standby bank is programmed. If the number of the banks is equal to or greater than the threshold value or if the reading or the programming is performed, it is determined whether there is a reading or programming command to be performed. If there is the reading or programming command to be performed, the process is repeated from the comparing step. The programming may include programming of a most significant bit (MSB) page or a least significant bit (LSB) page.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2011Publication date: December 1, 2011Inventors: Hyun-Jin Choi, Chan-Ik Park, Jeong-Woo Lee, Sung-Joo Yoo

Patent number: 6438150Abstract: An edge-emitting laser formed in an opto-electronic chip and having an emission wavelength determined by dielectric interference filter formed on opposing facets between which said laser extends. The two interference filter are each respective Fabry-Perot etalon filters having two interference mirrors sandwiching a resonant dielectric cavity layer so that the filter manifests a flat reflectance spectrum with a deep reflectance notch in its center. The two filters are fabricated with wavelengths of their notches differing by about 2%. The sum of the two filter transmittances represents round-trip cavity loss and has a double-peaked shape with a sharp minimum between the two notch wavelengths. The wavelength of the sum minimum determines the lasing wavelength without the need for a Bragg grating being incorporated within the chip. The invention can be applied to multi-wavelength edge-emitting lasers including multiple laser stripes by applying filters of different wavelengths to the ends of different stripes.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 1999Date of Patent: August 20, 2002Assignee: Telecordia Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Sung Joo Yoo

Patent number: 6111673Abstract: An optical signaling header technique applicable to optical networks wherein packet routing information is embedded in the same channel or wavelength as the data payload so that both the header and data payload propagate through network elements with the same path and the associated delays. The header routing information has sufficiently different characteristics from the data payload so that the signaling header can be detected without being affected by the data payload, and that the signaling header can also be removed without affecting the data payload. The signal routing technique can be overlaid onto the conventional network elements in a modular manner using two types of applique modules. The first type effects header encoding and decoding at the entry and exit points of the data payload into and out of the network; the second type effects header detection at each of the network elements.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 1998Date of Patent: August 29, 2000Assignee: Telcordia Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Gee-Kung Chang, Sung Joo Yoo

Patent number: 5825517Abstract: A wavelength-interchanging cross-connect for use as an optical switch within a wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) communications network in which multiple optical carrier signals at different optical wavelengths are switched in an all-optical process according to their wavelength. The cross-connect of the invention further allows the optical wavelength of the signal being switched to be changed to another WDM wavelength. The cross-connect includes a series of multi-wavelength 2.times.2 spatial optical switches. One serial path is directly connected between the spatial switches. The other serial path leads through intermediate wavelength-interchanging modules that interchange the carrier wavelengths of at least one pair of signals. Preferably, the wavelength interchanging is performed by difference frequency generation relying on second-order non-linear susceptibilities and a pump signal providing parametric gain.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 1995Date of Patent: October 20, 1998Assignee: Tellium, Inc.Inventors: Neophytos Andreas Antoniades, Krishna Bala, Georgios Nicos Ellinas, Sung-Joo Yoo

Patent number: 5796902Abstract: A waveguide having alternating regions of different crystallographic orientations, thereby providing quasi-phase-matching for a non-linear frequency conversion, in which two wafers with or without epitaxial layers thereon are bonded together having different, preferably opposed, crystallographic orientations. One wafer is etched away, and a grating is etched such that one part of the grating has the orientation of one wafer and the other part has the orientation of the other wafer. Thereafter, a waveguide structure is epitaxially deposited upon the differentially oriented template so that the waveguide is differentially oriented in its axial direction. Thereby, quasi-phase-matching non-linear effects can be achieved.

Patent number: 5495360Abstract: An asymmetric Fabry-Perot modulator (AFPM) is disclosed having an operating wavelength in the 1.5 .mu.m region used for long-haul optical transmission. The AFPM includes electro-absorption material consisting of an Al.sub.x In.sub.y Ga.sub.1-x-y As multiple quantum well structure. An amplitude modulated optical signal is produced by modulating the bias voltage across the electro-absorption material between zero bias and the matching voltage that gives zero reflectivity from the cavity formed by the electro-absorption material and top and bottom reflectors. An amplitude modulated optical signal having a negative chirp parameter is produced by coating the top of the modulator with a high-reflectivity coating to reduce the voltage required to achieve the matching condition and then modulating the electro-absorption material between the matching voltage and a higher voltage.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 1994Date of Patent: February 27, 1996Assignee: Bell Communications Research Inc.Inventor: Sung-Joo Yoo

Patent number: 5434700Abstract: An all-optical wavelength converter comprising an optical waveguide of regions having differing non-linear optical susceptibilities such that the regions are quasi phase matched. An optical pumping signal is introduced in the waveguide, either input from the outside or is locally generated from a lasing active layer in the waveguide. Light having a first frequency is input to the waveguide and interacts with the optical pumping signal via the non-linear susceptibility to create light having a second frequency. Each of the regions has a length of one coherence length. That is, the input light and the pump light fall out of phase by 180.degree. in one coherence length. The modulation of the non-linear susceptibility can be accomplished, by disordering the anisotropic material forming the non-linear waveguide, by inverting the anisotropic crystal structure, or by launching an acoustic wave onto the waveguide so that the compression of the material periodically varies the non-linearities.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 1993Date of Patent: July 18, 1995Assignee: Bell Communications Research, Inc.Inventor: Sung-Joo Yoo
