The use of thermally expanded core (TEe) fibers fabricated by thermal diffusion of dopants such as $GeO_{2}$ in hybrid fiber components has an advantage of eliminating lenses for collimation and focusing. An electric furnace is fabricated to heat the fibers locally for the core expansion. We observed an expansion of the mode size at $1.3\mu\textrm{m}$ wavelength by 27% after treating a section of single mode optical fiber at $1250^{\circ}C$ for 10 hours. hours.

For the first time to our knowledge we have developed compact mechanically-induced long-period fiber grating devices which have an excellent tunability in the center wavelength and the depth of the notch. The compactness and ease to tune allow us to include them in other optical devices or systems. The devices were characterized by measuring their transmission spectra with different grating periods and applied pressures. We have also demonstrated the EDFA gain flattening using the mechanically-induced long-period fiber grating devices.

광통신 시스템에 필요한 여러 가지 광소자들과 광섬유간의 결합손실을 줄이고 결합거리를 향상시키기 위한 연구가 많이 이루어져 왔다. 광섬유의 클래딩 모드를 이용하여 정렬오차를 줄인 광커넥터에 대한 결과가 보고된 바 있다. 그러나, 장주기 광섬유격자를 통하여 여기된 광섬유의 클래딩 모드는 외부환경에 매우 민감하여 외부 접촉에 의한 손실과 공진 파장의 변화 등이 문제로 제시되었다. 본 연구에서는 코어와 통상의 클래딩 사이에 또 하나의 클래딩 층을 갖는 이중 클래딩 구조의 광섬유에 장주기 격자를 만들고, 장주기 격자에 의하여 여기된 여러 클래딩 모드 가운데 광섬유의 코어와 내부 클래딩 층으로만 주로 진행하는 첫 번째 클래딩 모드를 사용하는 광커넥터를 제안한다.

This paper describes a multiplexed-multivariate fiber-optic interferometric sensor system with remote sensing capability. Signal processor of the implemented sensor system is designed as a digital fringe counter that is well adapted to the signal processing of the remote fiber-optic Fabry-Perot interferometric sensor array. By summing up the reported optical data of the optical fiber, a guideline for choosing the optical effect suitable for a specific measurand is presented. As an example, a pressure sensing device that utilizes the strain-optic effect of the optical fiber by attaching it onto a stainless steel diaphragm of which diameter is 4.3 cm, is built and attached to the sensor system. The changes in optical phase difference of the fiber-optic Fabry-Perot interferometric press ure sensor while filling a water tank 2 meters high, was counted by the half-fringe counting signal processor. Test results showed that the measurement error is less than ${\pm}3.6\;cm$ over the measured range of 2 meters.

We examine the performance of a Raman amplifier as a function of fiber structure with respect to amplifier gain and double Rayleigh crosstalk penalty. Variations on fiber core radius or index affect both the Raman gain efficiency and Rayleigh backscattering. Contrary to the common concept, the penalty from the doubly amplified Rayleigh scattering could exceed the benefits of higher gain efficiency of small effective area fibers. Appropriate fiber designing parameters are required to increase Raman amplifier efficiency without system penalties. lties.
