본 연구에서는 국내에서도 아직 초기단계 기술이라고 할 수 있는 간섭계를 이용한 주요 시설물(변전소등) 안전 감시 혹은 항만 감시 및 방어용 광섬유 격자 그물망 구현을 위한 광섬유 시스템 적용성을 연구한 것이다. 연구에서는 마흐젠더 간섭계의 구성에 비해 구성이 용이한 Sagnac간섭계를 구성 실험하였다. 이 간섭계의 성능 검증을 위하여 1550nm의 중심파장을 방사하는 레이저, 싱글모드 광섬유, 3${\times}$3 커플러 등의 광소자를 사용하였고, 광섬유의 길이의 변화를 주기 위하여 PZT 위상 변조기에 교류 전원을 인가하여 PZT 위상 변조기의 진동을 유도하였다. 또한, 전체 길이 약 180cm, 17${\times}$7, 철봉의 직경 6m의 철망 구조물을 제작후, 센서 부분의 역할을 담당한 광섬유 케이블을 일정한 간격으로 철망 구조물에 케이블 타이로 고정하였다. 철망 구조물에서 발생할 수 있는 각종 외부 가진에 대해, 철망 구조물에 가속도계를 설치하여, Sagnac 간섭계에서의 광 간섭 신호와 가속도계의 신호를 비교 검증 하였다. 본 실험결과를 통하여 광섬유 펜스는 주요 시설물(변전소등) 안전 감시 혹은 항만 감시 및 방어용 경보 시스템에 적합하다고 판단된다.

The optical fiber cable acting as a sensor was embedded in the underground research tunnel and portal area in order to monitor their stability and the spatial temperature variation. This system includes two types of sensing function to monitor the distributed strain and temperature along the line, where sensor cable is installed, not a point sensing. According to the results of one year monitoring around the KURT, there is no significant displacement or movement at the tunnel wall and portal slope. However, it would be able to aware of some phenomena as an advance notice at the tunnel wall which indicates the fracturing in rockmass and shotcrete fragmentation before rock falls accidently as well as movement of earth slope. The measurement resolution for rock mass displacement is 1 mm per 1 m and it covers 30 km length with every 1m interval in minimum. In temperature, the cable measures the range of $-160{\sim}600^{\circ}C$ with $0.01^{\circ}C$ resolution according to the cable types. This means that it would be applicable to monitoring system for the safe operation of various kinds of facilities having static and/or dynamic characteristics, such as chemical plant, pipeline, rail, huge building, long and slim structures, bridge, subway and marine vessel. etc.

Optical Temperature Distribution Sensor Measurement System uses fiber optic sensors itself for temperature measurement is a system which can be measured the Installed surrounding entire temperature as a thousand points by laying a single strand of fiber optic. If there are a lot of measuring points in the distribution Measurement, the cost of each measuring point can be reduced the cost level of existing sensors and at the same time this has the advantage of connecting all sensors as one or two strands of fiber. Generally Optical Fiber is used for communication but Optical Fiber itself can be used for sensor and it has the characteristic of sensor function which can be measured Temperature in the at least each one meter distance. By using these characteristics each sensor and the number of Connection Lines can be reduced. In this paper, we implement a real time temperature monitoring system, which is easy to manage and control for data storage, data management, data storage using a computer and which has the functions of monitoring and correction according to Real-time temperature changes using historical temperature data.

Optical fiber cable, as a sensor, was installed on the wall of KAERI(Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) Underground Research Tunnel(KURT) in order to monitor the physical stability of the tunnel, which was constructed for technical development and demonstration of radioactive waste disposal. This monitoring system has two simultaneous measurements of temperature and strain over time using Brillouin backscatter. According to the results of the monitoring from Jan. 2008 to Nov. 2009, there is no significant displacement or movement at the tunnel wall However, the cumulative volume of total strain increased slightly as time passes with the comparison of the reference observation, which was measured in Jan. 2008. The change in cumulative volume of total strain indicates that the strain level had been affected by saturation and de-saturation phenomena due to groundwater fluctuation at several points at KURT. This system is based on the distributed sensing technique concept, not point sensing. By using this system, a displacement can be detected with the range from $20{\mu}{\varepsilon}$ to $28,000{\mu}{\varepsilon}$ every 1m interval in minimum. A temperature variation can be monitored at every 0.5m interval with the resolution of 0.01 in minimum. Based on the study, this monitoring system is potentially applicable to long term monitoring systems for radioactive waste disposal project as well as other structures and underground openings.

광섬유는 저손실, 광대역의 전송특성을 가지며 세경(細徑), 경량등 많은 장점을 가지고 있지만 동케이블과 같이 파단점, 불연속점등의 장해점 탐색에 대한 어려움이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 OTDR(Optical Time Domain Reflectometer)은 고감도, 고정도의 광센싱 기술, 극초단 광펄스 레이다 기술, 광다중화 센서 네트웍기술, 실시간 광신호처리 기술 등 정밀 광계측 및 신호처리기술을 적용하여 설치된 광섬유의 손실 정도를 측정하는 시스템으로 광섬유에 입사된 광의 산란 가운데 Rayleigh 산란에 의해서 생기는 후방산란광을 관측하여 광파이버의 파단점 탐색 및 손실측정이 가능하다. 최근 대부분의 유선통신망은 광섬유를 이용한 광통신방식으로 이루어지고 있으며 이러한 광섬유의 고장점을 찾기 위한 방법은 OTDR방식이 유일하다고 할 수 있다. 본 논문은 Rayleigh 후방산란에 의한 광학적 특성을 규명하고 이러한 특성을 이용하여 이용한 광섬유 유지보수용 계측시스템을 설계, 제작하고 실험한 결과에 대하여 설명하고 고찰하였다. 측정거리를 40Km까지 측정하도록 하였으며, 모니터상에서의 거리 분해능은 5m정도를 가지며 1310nm의 파장을 사용하였다.

This study presents reasonable relationships to estimate the deformation based on beam mechanism analysis and TDR(Time Domain Reflectometry) data. To declar the length points of co-axial cable installed in civil structure, Nano material ($BaTiO_3$ powders and silver mixture) is used on co-axial cables. From the laboratory test, nano material could make the correct information about attached cable points on beam, and TDR sensor system and Fourier series (data filter) found out the deformation of beam. Therefore it is concluded that the correct deformed information of beam were acquired by Nano-TDR and Fourier filter, they are much more effective to apply at health monitoring system in civil structure compared to conventional TDR or Fiber Optic Sensor (FOS) systems.

Recently, fiber optic sensors, which have many advantages are being applied in various fields by replacing conventional electric sensors. To transmit the light signals between an interrogator and a sensor head, optical components such as an optical adaptor and optical jumper cords are generally used. When signals are transmitted using an adaptor, the end surface of each jumper cord is faced together. If alien substances exist on the core surface of an optical fiber, those can cause light transmission loss and signal disappearance. For this reason, non-contact fiber jumper cords are developed to overcome the problems that require continual attention. The light transmission performance of non-contact fiber jumper cords are also evaluated. From the test results, conventional fiber jumper cords are unable to transmit the signals over 2 mm cavity between the ends of both cords. Otherwise, non-contact fiber jumper cords can transmit the signals with stability up to the cavity of 7 mm though they have more transmission loss than the conventional ones. Consequently, non-contact fiber jumper cords that have better signal stability than conventional ones in environments are highly recommended in field applications, especially if they play a role as a cable for signal transmission between fiber optic sensors.

This study presents a novel monitoring technique for underwater high-voltage direct current (HVDC) cables based on the Distributed Acoustic Sensor (DAS). The proposed technique utilizes vibration and acoustic signals generated on HVDC cables to monitor their condition and detect events such as earthquakes, shipments, tidal currents, and construction activities. To implement the monitoring system, a DAS based on phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry (Φ-OTDR) system was designed, fabricated, and validated for performance. For the HVDC cable monitoring experiments, a testbed was constructed on land, mimicking the cable burial method and protective equipment used underwater. Defined various scenarios that could cause cable damage and conducted experiments accordingly. The developed DAS system achieved a maximum measurement distance of 50 km, a distance measurement interval of 2 m, and a measurement repetition rate of 1 kHz. Extensive experiments conducted on HVDC cables and protective facilities demonstrated the practical potential of the DAS system for monitoring underwater and underground areas.
