Crack detection technique for concrete structures has been developed in this study. Experimental tests were carried out to detect a surface and internal crack, employing common fiber optic cables and OTDR(optical time domain reflectometry), an optical signal analyzer which is widely used to detect damages at fiber optic cables in the field of optical engineering. While initial concrete crack is ready to occur under cracking force, the occurrence and location of the crack are simultaneously detected to give the same damage to fiber optic cables which have been attached to and/or embedded into concrete in advance. It is obtained through successive tests that the principal factors for crack detection is the covering state of fiber optic cable, and total 4 tests including a preliminary test were conducted and the crack detection technique was verified. The practical usefulness would be expected at crack management and maintenance of concrete structures.

In this paper the measurement method of cable's curvature using fiber optic microbend effect and its experimental results are presented. The novel structure of fiber optic microbender, which can generate microbend effect on the optical fiber in the case of both directional bending of cable, was designed. Through the experiment using suggested sensing system, the increasing trend of attenuated optical power was found out under the range from $0.1\;cm^{-1}$ to $0.4\;cm^{-1}$ of curvature. To the multi and distributed measurement, using OTDR, the scattered optical pulses at the bending points are measured and compared with the result which was measured by optical power meter.

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 most sensitive part of the installed optical fiber fable is the optical loss variation of the splicing part according to the environmental changes. This paper presents the details of the experimental results of the external environmental changes on optical loss, such as bending, temperature variation, temperature variation after water osmosis and vibration. Through the bending test of optical fiber, rapid increase of optical loss was measured within the radius of 30mm. The result of optical loss variation within the temperature range of $-30^{\circ}C{\sim}60^{\circ}C$ is less than 0.02dB. It was confirmed that the maximum optical loss increased up to 0.2dB in case of water osmosis within the temperature range of $-40^{\circ}C{\sim}80^{\circ}C$. There is small optical loss variation of 0.01dB under the 1mm vibration test. The experimental results of this paper can be used as the reference data for the design of the optical fiber cable splicing enclosure to protect the optical loss variation due to environmental changes.

Under harsh environments in which remote control is impossible, wire-guided control technology is effective for controlling distant underwater vehicles that serve mother ships in missions, such as exploration and installation. When the fiber is unwound from the spool, tension fluctuations occur in the fiber because of the relative velocity of the moving vehicles and unwinding velocity of the fiber. As a result, fiber cables exhibit complicated behaviors, become entangled, and may get cut. In this study, a spool-like design for winding tens of kilometers of fiber cables is proposed by analyzing cable winding. The unwinding performance of the designed spool is estimated by performing nonlinear dynamics analysis of the nonlinear behavior and tension fluctuations observed during the unwinding of the fiber.

계측 및 정보기술의 발달로 지하전력구 내에 설치된 송전 케이블에 대한 감시를 위해 다양한 기술을 활용하여 감시시스템을 구축하고자 하는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 대표적인 방식으로 광섬유를 이용하여 전력케이블의 온도를 측정하는 방식이 있으며 이러한 방식의 궁극적인 목적은 전력케이블의 온도를 측정하고 과열개소를 실시간으로 파악하는 것이다. 그러나 이러한 시스템을 구축하기 위해서는 케이블을 설치하고 고가의 감시 장치를 설치, 운영해야 하는 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 설치비용을 최소화할 수 있도록 무선 통신을 기반으로 하는 감시시스템을 고려하였다. 본 연구에서는 저가형 저전력 무선센서노드를 이용하여 케이블의 표면온도를 측정하고 이를 감시할 수 있는 무선감시시스템을 개발하였다.
