본 논문에서는 광섬유에 여러 가지의 위상변화를 준 장주기 격자에 대한 센서 특성을 비교하여 분석하였다. 위상변화의 정도에 따라서 센서의 특징을 유효하게 할 수 있는지 비교하여 센서로서의 타당성을 가지는 위상변화 정도의 범위를 알아보았다. 장주기 격자는 아르곤 레이저를 이용하여 Point by point 방식으로 제작되었으며, 위상 변화를 주기 위해서 linear stage를 이용하였다.

장주기 격자 필터를 이용한 EDFA용 이득평탄화 필터 설계에는 대역폭에 따라 한 개에서 세 개까지의 평탄화가 가능하다 이러한 필터 설계는 EDFA의 고유의 중심 파장, 크기, 대역폭에 대한 각 장주기 광섬유 격자의 중심 파장, 크기, 대역폭을 설정하여 이득평탄화를 최적화시킨다. 이득평탄화 필터의 설계를 위한 방법으로써 수동 설계통한 이득평탄화를 했으나, 신속하고 편리함을 위해 반자동 설계, 자동 설계 프로그램을 구현하였다. 이를 통한 이득평탄화 정도는, 수동이 0.38dB, 반자동 0.57dB, 자동 0.62dB 정도로 정밀한 이득평탄화를 얻을 수 있는 설계가 가능하였다.

In-situ structural health monitoring of filament wound pressure tanks were conducted during water-pressurizing test using embedded fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors. We need to monitor inner strains during working in order to verify the health condition of pressure tanks more accurately because finite element analyses on filament wound pressure tanks usually show large differences between inner and outer strains. Fiber optic sensors, especially FBG sensors can be easily embedded into the composite structures contrary to conventional electric strain gages (ESGs). In addition, many FBG sensors can be multiplexed in single optical fiber using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) techniques. We fabricated a standard testing and evaluation bottle (STEB) with embedded FBG sensors and performed a water-pressurizing test. In order to increase the survivability of embedded FBG sensors, we suggested a revised fabrication process for embedding FBG sensors into a filament wound pressure tank, which includes a new protecting technique of sensor heads, the grating parts. From the experimental results, it was demonstrated that FBG sensors can be successfully adapted to filament wound pressure tanks for their structural health monitoring by embedding.

In this paper, two types of micro-optic submersion detection systems are proposed and demonstrated. The structures are based on the transmission and reflection of incident light, respectively. Two collimators are separated by 10 mm and installed face to face in straight line. The incident light transmits from one side of collimator to the other through the air, but the optical loss is below 1 dB. On the other hand, when the sensors are submersed into water, most of optical power scattered into water. The systems monitor the dramatical power change to alarm the submersion. Reflection type of sensor system has a Bragg grating at the end of the sensor for back-reflection of sensing signal. This is for simple configuration of systems. The performance of two sensor systems are described in detail.

We constructed a fiber-optic temperature sensor system using a sensor array with 15 fiber Bragg gratings for distributed temperature monitoring in electrical power systems. A polynomial fitting algorithm was used to compensate the nonlinear action of the MEMS tuneable wavelength filter used for Bragg wavelength demodulation Fixed passband wavelengths from a Fabry-Perot ITU filter were used as reference wavelengths for the fitting algorithm which obtained constant accuracy regardless of the wavelength scanning range and frequency. About 0.18[%] of linearity error compared to reference thermocouple thermometer has been obtained in the preliminary experimental results.

In this paper, a walking vibration sensing system (WVS system) using a Fiber Bragg Grating sensor (FBG sensor) is proposed. The seismic part of the FBG sensor was redesigned for sensitivity enhancement. The external excitation was assumed to be the walking cycle of an adult male. The FBG seismic sensor was redesigned using CATIA and ABAQUS such that the sensor's first mode natural frequency is 3.5 Hz (which is a value near the external excitation frequency). Compared with existing walking vibration sensing systems, this newly created system improves sensitivity 15 times. It is also suitable for intrusion detection applications.

The tactile force sensor was studied using Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG). The FBG is able to multiplex easily and is immune to electromagnetic environment. A sensor frame was designed to a cantilever beam type. Strain of a beam is related with the peak shift of a bragg wavelength. Finite Element Method (FEM) was used for getting an appropriate thickness from 0.2 mm to 0.3 mm thick. FEM results showed that 0.3 mm thick was suitable for the force range 10 N. The force resolutions of 0.039 N and 0.113 N were obtained with optical spectrum analyser and tunable Fabry-Perot filter, respectively.

To detect external vibration signals on the latticed fence structure, distributed fiber optic sensor using Sagnac interferometer was fabricated and tested. The latticed structure fabricated with dimension of 170cm in width and 180cm in height, the optical fiber, 50m in length, distributed and fixed on the latticed structure. It was verified the sensitivity of the Sagnac interferometer using the PZT phase modulator. Fiber optic external vibration signal spplied to the latticed fence structure from 100Hz to several kHz. The interferometeric fiber optic sensor detected the excited vibration signal very effectively without any signal processing. The detected optical signals were compared and analyzed to the detected acclerometer signals.

We demonstrated numerically that both the chromatic dispersion and the dispersion slope could be compensated by using purely phase-sampled superstructure fiber Bragg gratings provided with chirp of coupling coefficient along the wavelength axis. Also, we propose a purely phase-sampled Bragg grating for dispersion and dispersion slope compensation by introducing a chirp in coupling coefficient and sampling function. The bandwidth of all reflected channels can be equalized.

This paper shows the development of flexible force sensor using the fiber Bragg grating. This force sensor consists of a Bragg grating fiber and flexible silicone rubber (DC184, Dow corning co. Ltd). This sensor does not have special structure to maximize the deflection or elongation, but have good sensitivity and very flexible characteristics. In addition, this sensor has the immunity to the electro magnetic field and can be multiplexed easily, which is inherited from the characteristics of fiber Bragg grating sensor. In the future, this sensor can be utilized the tactile sensor system minimizing the sensor size and developing the fabrication method.
