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.

We fabricated erbium-doped fiber ring laser with a new structure that can operate in C- & L-band wavelength region. The wave-length of the laser can be tuned continuously over 102 nm between 1510.4-1612.6 nm by insertion of the fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter (FFP-TF) in the ring cavity. By use of the wavelength tunable characteristics of our fiber laser, we measured absorption spectra of more than fifty transition lines of the acetylene ($^{13}$ C$_2$H$_2$) molecule with high signal to noise ratio (SNR).

In this paper, we demonstrated the simultaneous measurment of triple parameters such as strain, temperature, and vibration using single FBG/EFPI hybrid sensor. The FBG/EFPI sensor system for the strain and temperature measurement and the EFPI sensor system for the the vibration measurement were combined by a wavelength division multiplexer. The optical source of FBG/ EFPI sensor system is a wavelength-swept fiber laser(WSFL) and that of an EFPI sensor system is a laser diode. We performed the simultaneous measurement of thermal strain, temperature, and vibration of a aluminum beam placed in a thermal chamber and validated the efficiency of the constructed measurment system.

Using one of the absorption lines of $^{13}C_2H_2$ molecules near the zero dispersion wavelength(1549.49nm) of dispersion shifted fiber, we stabilized center frequency of an optical fiber Fabry-Perot filter. The free spectral range of the filter is 100 GHz for 100 GHz channel allocation. For equi-spaced three channel multiplexing, channel locking of three DFB-LDs to transmission peaks of the fiber Fabry-Perot filter was tried. To investigate the effect of dithering current applied to each DFB-LD, the change of DFB-LD linewidth was measured.

Lasing characteristics of an Er-doped fiber laser have been investigated at various conditions of resonator reflectivities and pump powers. Variation of the laser wavelength with various mirror reflectivities has been compared with the theoretical analysis based on absorption, gain spectra, and resonator parameters. The maximum slope efficiency of 38% was obtained with the resonator's mirror reflectivities of 100% and 4% on both sides, and the threshold powers were varied from 7.8 mW to 5.6 mW, and lasing wavelengths were varied $1.532\mum to 1.563\mum and 1.558 \mum to 1.570 \mum$ for 6 and 15.8 mlong Er-doped fiber, respectively, as the resonator reflectivities were changed from 0.0016 to 0.9.to 0.9.

A single-mode erbium-doped fiber laser is constructed by using a intracore fiber Bragg grating and a unidirectional fiber loop mirror. The laser cavity is designed in such a way that the laser beam forms a travelling wave in the gain medium by placing the erbium-doped fiber inside the unidirectional loop and that the wavelength-selective feedback is made from the outside of the loop by a fiber grating with 0.2 nm reflection linewidth. An additional fiber ring resonator is constructed and used as an optical spectrum analyzer to observe the variation of the laser mode spectra. As the result, relatively stable single mode, single polarization output is observed for the most of the time except some mode hoppings in minute scale due to enviommental temperature variations. tions.

We propose a novel channel-switching transmission filter using segmented chirped fiber Bragg gratings (CFBG's) each of which has separate transmission bands in the reflection spectrum of the CFBG. The segmented CFBG's are made by using specially designed slits. The separated reflection spectral bands of the segmented CFBG's are controlled by the attached fiber stretchers, and the controlled reflection bands are used to choose the channels independently. Tunability of the transmission spectra is experimentally demonstrated in WDM transmission experiments.

본 연구는 두 가지 관점, 즉 다이오드레이저를 구강연조직에 접촉식으로 조사하여 조직을 절제할 경우 첫째 심부조직에서의 온도 상승 정도에 대한 분석 평가, 둘째 절제에 따른 조직의 열적 응고에 대한 조직학적 분석 평가를 위해 시도되었다. 연구를 위해 도축된 소의 혀 배면으로부터 5.0mm깊이에 T형 열전대(type T thermocouple)를 설치하고 조사조건에 따른 레이저절제 도주의 온도변화를 측정하고, 또한 해당조사부위의 조직을 대상으로 통법에 의한 H-E염색 후 조직학적 측면에서 열적 응고상을 검색하여 Nd:YAG레이저의 경우에서와 비교하였다. 즉 파장815nm의 다이오드레이저를 0-10W의 출력, 50Hz와 연속파의 주파수조건에서 접촉식으로 조사하였으며, 또한 파장1064nm의 Nd:YAG레이저를 0-10W의 출력, 50Hz와 100Hz의 주파수 조건에서 접촉식으로 조사하였다. 레이저의 접촉조사시 레이저광섬유 첨단부에서 10(10gm의 일정한 압력과 25mm/sec의 이동속도로 조직을 절제하였다. 레이저가 접촉조사된 조직부위를 통법에 의해 조직학적으로 H-E염색을 시행하였으며, 계측현미경을 이용하여 10배율 아래에서 조직절제의 폭과 깊이, 측방 및 하방 쪽으로 열적 응고의 폭을 계측하였다. 계측치에 대한 통계학적 처리결과 조직절제의 폭과 측방쪽으로 열적응고의 폭은 다이오드레이저에와 Nd:YAG레이저에서 같은 정도를 나타냈다. 조직절제의 깊이는 Nd:YAG레이저에서에 비해 다이오드레이저에서 더 깊었다. 하방쪽으로의 열적응고의 폭은 Nd:YAG레이저를 10Hz의 조건에서 조사한 경우에서 가장 넓었으며, 다이오드레이저를 50Hz와 연속파의 조건에서 조사한 경우에서 가장 좁았다. 레이저절제 도중 심부조직에서의 온도변화는 다이오드 레이저에서와 Nd:YAG레이저에서 모두 출력이 증가함에 따라 상승되었으며, 다이오드레이저에서 보다 Nd:YAG레이저에서 더 높이 상승되었다. 결론적으로 본 연구에서 시도된 조사조건 범위 이내에서는 구강연조직 절제시 다이오드레이저가 펄스형 광섬유 전달식 Nd:YAG레이저 보다 심부조직에서의 낮은 온도상승과 하방쪽으로의 좁은 열적 응고의 폭을 보이면서 우수한 조직절제효과를 나타냈다.
