The low- frequency acoustic sensor using the recently developed FBG has an excellent merits which the existing fiber-optic sensor has and also it has an excellent signal sensing effect in the environment of low-frequency($30Hz{\sim}300Hz$). Furthermore, we can expect the utilization of low-frequency signal defection instead of existing microphones in the environment of electric noise and also it can be developed as the high-sensibility multiplexing through the sensor array system.

In this paper, a tunable fiber feedback laser based on the use of Sagnac loop filter and fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is proposed. The Sagnac loop filter using a high birefringence fiber provides precise 0.33-nm channel spacing as a multi-wavelength grid filter. Ni-Cr wire wound on the FBG is useful to induce the thermo-optic effect of the fiber. Two types of FBG structures, which have a different length of wire, are demonstrated to show the wavelength shift and separation. To tune FBG by resistant heat, some current is supplied into the wire. When the wavelength matched with one of the cavity modes of Sagnac loop filter, the mode-locked lasing is occurred. The electrical power sensitivity of the resonant wavelength is measured to 1.75pm/mW. This laser configuration can be applied the electrical power system for monitoring the power fluctuation.

Optical fiber has many advantages, such as high reliability, long lifetime, immunity to the electromagnetic interference, high speed response and low cost. In this study, we proposed and developed an optical fiber impact and pressure sensor for prevention of accident which occurs in the automatic system or auto door. The principle of the sensor is to detect different optical intensity caused by variation of a speckle pattern due to the external perturbation. Speckle pattern appears at the end of a multimode fiber in which coherent beam propagates. The fabricated sensor in this study was tested. As a result of experiments, amplitude of the output signal isn't linear, but it has sufficient sensitivity for a sensor. Moreover, we can control sensitivity of the sensor by an amplifier at receiver. It has several advantages which are ability of detection at all point on the multimode fiber, large sensitive area, and many application areas for a sensing impact and pressure.

Single mode fiber optic interferometers using the Fabry-Perot configuration were embedded in a reinforced concrete structure. These interferometers investigated the character of phase shift and strain for internal loads. The 10 mm length of FFPI in the continuous length of single mode fiber (SMF) were produced with two pieces of SMF coated were $TiO_2$ dielectric film utilizing the fusion splicing technique. The fabricated fiber optic Fabry-Perot interferometer(FFPI) and the 6 mm length of steel bar were buried with specimen ($100{\times}100{\times}50\;mm^3$) which was made of concrete structure. The resin protects FFPI and fiber leads from squeezed concrete. Sensors at different point in the structure were multiplexed by TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) method and the deformation to the external loads at each point could be monitored simultaneously. The output signals were proportional to the external loads applied to the structure and the sensitivity of the sensors were $1.03^{\circ}/kg$ and $0.76^{\circ}/kg$ respectively.

In this paper, we report that the differences between RF power levels can be improved in wavelength division multiplexing - radio over fiber (WDM-RoF) system by using a photonic crystal fiber. In a WDM-RoF system, each WDM channel experiences different received RF power level fluctuation in remote node (RN) because of wavelength-dependent dispersion. Since each WDM channel experiences different power fluctuation, the RF power fluctuation acts as a design constraint in viewpoint of network design. We designed a photonic crystal fiber to improve the effect of wavelength- dependent dispersion on RF power fluctuation. Also, we analyzed the wavelength-dependent difference of inter-channel RF power fluctuations.

광시스템에서 발생할 수 있는 비선형 현상 중 하나인 유도 브릴루앙 산란은 낮은 입력 파워 레벨에서도 발생할 수 있기 때문에 광전송 시스템에 큰 영향을 주는 현상이다. 그러므로 고출력의 신호를 광섬유에 입사시켜 광전송 시스템의 전송 거리를 길게 하기 위해서는 광섬유에서 발생하는 유도 브릴루앙 산란에 대한 고려가 필요하다. 특히 현재 광통신에 사용되고 있는 파장 분할 다중방식(WDM) 광전송 시스템에서는 채널 간격이 좁으므로 유도 브릴루앙 산란의 영향을 고려해야만 한다. 브릴루앙 이득 스펙트럼은 브릴루앙 주파수 천이, 부릴루앙 선폭과 이득계수에 대한 정보뿐만 아니라 브릴루앙 임계값에 대한 정보를 포함한다. 이러한 유도 브릴루앙 산란 신호를 1550nm 파장대에서 실험적으로 확인하였으며 실험으로 관측한 SBS 신호를 이론적으로 계산된 값과 비교하였다. 실험으로 구한 신호 주파수는 10.8825GHz로서 이론상의 값 10.9GHz와 일치하였으며 브릴루앙 이득 스펙트럼을 측정한 결과 1.5436 $\times$ $10^{-ll}$m/w의 브릴루앙 이득 계수 $g_{0}$을 얻었다.다.

Among many fabrication methods of composite materials, filament winding is the most effective method for fabricating axis-symmetric structures such as pressure tanks and pipes. Filament wound pressure tanks are under high internal pressure during the operation and it has the complexity in damage mechanisms and failure modes. For this reason, it is necessary to monitor the tank through its operation as well as whole fabrication process. A large number of sensors must be embedded into multi points of the tank from its fabrication step for monitoring the whole tank. Fiber optic sensors, especially fiber Bragg grating(FBG) sensors are widely used for various applications because of good multiplexing capabilities. However, we need to develop the embedding technique of FBG sensors into harsh inner environment of the tank far the successful embedment. In this paper, we studied the embedding technique of a number of FBG sensors into filament wound pressure tanks considering multiplexing.

A metal capillary splice fiber-optic sensor was fabricated for use as an intensity-based macro-bending sensor. As the radius of curvature due to the macro-bending decreases, the angular misalignment of the fiber ends inside the metal capillary increases, i.e., the coupling efficiency of the fiber splice is reduced. Thus, macro-bending can be detected by the measurement of the reduction of transmitted power. The detectable range of macro-bending. was measured approximately from 20 mm to 85 mm. The center wavelengths of the fiber Bragg gratings are 1543.3 nm and 1549.5 nm, respectively. The maximum bending loss of this sensor was measured about -11.92 dB. Using this metal capillary spliced fiber sensor and fiber Bragg gratings, macro-bending detection has been demonstrated, and it is shown to have potential for multi-point macro-bending sensors. nsors.
