Buried Bragg filters of single mode $Si_{3}N_{4}$ rib waveguide with a cover layer of $SiO_{2}$ and grating at the interface of $Si_{3}N_{4}$ and $SiO_{2}$ are designed and fabricated. Etching of the grating on $Si_{3}N_{4}$ waveguide core by buffered HF showed uniform etching with good control up to 1 nm. This buried type of Bragg filters are immune to contamination of the surface of device. The mode index and bandwidth of filters are determined by measurements of the transmission spectrum of Bragg filters and compared with that of calculation. Waveguide Bragg filters loaded with the micro-heater of Cr film and the cladding of silicone rubber are made to control the Brag wavelength of the filter. As a result the filter wavelength of the device moved by 0.41 nm for 10 mA current to the shorter side of wavelength proportional to the square of the current.

An external cavity laser operating at near infrared wavelength is demonstrated by incorporating polymer waveguide Bragg reflectors. 3rd order Bragg grating and oversized rip waveguide structure were designed by using the effective index method and the transmission matrix method. The polymer waveguide was fabricated using polymer materials with refractive indices of 1.462 and 1.435 for the core and the cladding layers, respectively. The external feedback laser with 875-nm Bragg grating exhibits single mode lasing located at 850-nm wavelength with an output power of 0 dBm, a 20-dB bandwidth of 0.2 nm and a side mode suppression ratio of 40 dB.

Bragg reflecting waveguide devices have been fabricated on a flexible polymer substrate utilizing a post lift-off process which could Provide excellent uniformity of grating Patterns on Plastic film. The 510 m Period Bragg grating pattern is made by two methods. In the first sample the grating is fabricated by exposing the laser interference pattern on a photoresist, and then it is inscribed by $O_2$ plasma etching. The grating pattern of the second sample is formed by a PDMS soft mold imprinting process. The selective adhesion property of SU-8 material for Au and Si surfaces is utilized to prepare a 100-mm thick plastic substrate. Single mode waveguide is fabricated on the plastic substrate using polymer materials with refractive indices of 1.540 and 1.430 for the core and the cladding layers, respectively. The Bragg grating on Plastic substrate does not show any degradation in its spectral response compared to the reference sample made on a silicon wafer.

DMM은 방사광가속기의 백색광으로부터 단색광을 추출하기 위해 두 개의 다층 박막 (multilayer) 거울을 사용하는데, 첫 번째 거울은 Bragg 반사를 통해 분광을 하여 단색광을 생산하는 용도이고, 두 번째 거울은 이 단색광을 반사시켜 지면과 평행하게 출사되게 하기 위함이다. 일반적으로 사용되는 DCM (Double Crystal Monochromator)과의 차이점은, Bragg 반사를 위해 DCM에서는 결정을 사용하는 반면 DMM은 밀도차이가 많이나는 두 종류의 물질을 교대로 쌓아 올린 다층 박막을 사용한다는 것이다. 다층 박막의 주기가 곧 Bragg 반사에서의 d-spacing이 되며, X-선 분광의 목적으로 사용되는 d-spacing은 10-50 $\AA$ 사이이다. DCM이 0.01% 대의 우수한 에너지 분해능을 보이는데 비해, DMM은 1% 정도이다. 이 때문에 출사광의 밝기가 DCM에 비해 100배 밝은 특징이 있어서 에너지 분해능보다 광량이 더 중요한 응용에서 DMM이 사용된다. X-선 영상이나 방사선치료가 바로 이러한 응용에 해당한다. DMM은 포항가속기연구소와 (주) 벡트론에서 공동 설계하였으며, (주)벡트론에서 제작하였다. 그림 1에 DMM의 외형과 내부 구조를 나타내었다. Bragg 각의 조절 범위는 0.24-0.9도 이다. 입사광과 출사광의 수직 방향 offset을 10 mm로 유지하기 위해 두 번째 다층 박막이 수평방향으로 1,000 mm 가량 이동할 수 있어야 한다. 이를 위해 두 대의 고니오미터 stage를 사용하여 각각 첫 번째 및 두 번째 다층 박막의 위치와 방향을 제어한다. 첫 번째 다층 박막을 제어하는 고니오미터 stage는 하부가 전체 프레임에 고정되어 있고, 이 고니오미터의 회전축에서 Bragg 각을 조절한다. 두 번째 다층 박막을 제어하는 고니오미터 stage는 높이방향과 수평방향으로 이동이 가능하다. 다층 박막의 pitch는 고니오미터의 회전축에서 조절한다. 그리고 tilt stage를 사용하여 다층 박막의 roll을 조절한다.

The packaged optical fiber Bragg grating sensors which were networked by multiplexing the Bragg grating sensors with WDM technology were investigated in application for the structural health monitoring of the marine trestle structure transporting the ship. The optical fiber Bragg grating sensor was packaged in a cylindrical shape made of aluminum tubes. Furthermore, after the packaged optical fiber sensor was inserted in polymeric tube, the epoxy was filled inside the tube so that the sensor has resistance and durability against sea water. The packaged optical fiber sensor component was investigated under 0.2 MPa of hydraulic pressure and was found to be robust. The number and location of Bragg gratings attached at the trestle were determined where the trestle was subject to high displacement obtained by the finite element simulation. Strain of the part in the trestle being subjected to the maximum load was analyzed to be ${\sim}1000{\mu}{\varepsilon}$ and thus shift in Bragg wavelength of the sensor caused by the maximum load of the trestle was found to be ~1,200 pm. According to results of the finite element analysis, the Bragg wavelength spacings of the sensors were determined to have 3~5 nm without overlapping of grating wavelengths between sensors when the trestle was under loads and thus 50 of the grating sensors with each module consisting of 5 sensors could be networked within 150 nm optical window at 1550 nm wavelength of the Bragg wavelength interrogator. Shifts in Bragg wavelength of the 5 packaged optical fiber sensors attached at the mock trestle unit were well interrogated by the grating interrogator which used the optical fiber loop mirror, and the maximum strain rate was measured to be about $235.650{\mu}{\varepsilon}$. The modelling result of the sensor packaging and networking was in good agreements with experimental result each other.

In this study, strain measurement and its applicability to estimated deflection curve using fiber bragg grating sensors was conducted. For this purpose, reinforced concrete beams were made and sensors were attached both on the surface of the beams and inside steel. Two types of sensors were used to detect strain on the beams and steel : fiber bragg grating sensors, electric resistance strain sensors. So fatigue test is done with measuring strain of specimen. In addition, this experiments estimates the optimum deflection curve that converts strain curve data measured by FBG sensors into deflection.

Stable and tunable dual-wavelength erbium-doped fiber ring laser(EDFL) using a single fiber Bragg grating(FBG) and two coil heaters is proposed and demonstrated. Installing two identical coils into a single FBG, the FBG is symmetrically divided into two different portions. While a current supply to the coil, the refractive index of the FBG under the coil is changed. The FBG can operate as a joint of two different FBGs. Due to the thermo-optic effect of a fiber, the resonance wavelength split into two peaks. The spacing between two adjacent channels was changed as much as the difference of heating power. It was tuned up to 3 nm of wavelength under the electrical power with a 1000 mW. Moreover, the lasing wavelength can be individually tuned without influencing to the adjacent channel.

We introduce a simple optically passive detection scheme for Bragg grating sensors. This detection scheme is based on two cavity lengths in Fabry-Perot read-out interferometers to produce two quadrature phase shifted signals from the Bragg grating sensor. The passive detection technique is demonstrated by the use of Bragg grating sensors in measuring the dynamic vibrations of the composites.
