In this work, single event spectra were measured in order to gain the microdosimetric parameters of some heavy ion radiotherapy fields at HIMAC. Microdosimetry is now a well-established technique for the investigation of complex mixed radiation field. Changes in frequency mean lineal energy y$\_$F/ as a function of thickness of A150 phantom were obtained. The absorbed dose was obtained by using y$\_$F/. A direct relation between this single event probability distribution and relative biological effectiveness (RBE) was assumed in order to estimate RBE using the response function.

In this paper, a channel spacing-tunable sampled fiber gratings(SFGs) is proposed, and analytically and experimentally investigated. The channel spacing of the proposed SFGs can be tuned by simply changing the period of the external pressure on the fiber Bragg gratings(FBGs). The channel spacing of 1.4nm was tuned to 0.8nm by changing the pressure period from 580${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 1000${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ The experimental results agree well with the theoretical results.

We propose a new recirculating fiber delay-line filter structure. In proposed system, we insert a fiber Bragg grating(FBG) into a recirculating fiber delay line and it operates as a partially reflection mirror. Therefore, the transfer function of the system is given by the recirculating delay output part and the multiple-reflected output part due to a FBG. By adjusting the parameters such as coupling coefficient, reflectivity of FBG, and gain, we can make the system operate in various filter.

In this paper, high speed fiber optic sensor weigh-in motion (WIM) system is proposed. Bragg gratings which have several advantages such as good reproducibility and good multiplicity compare to other optical fiber sensors are used for the system. Fabry-Perot filter for the signal process, which cannot be used in the high speed measurement because of the limitation in fast operation of PZT, is excluded. A new signal processing system which employs bandwidth filter is proposed and bridge type new sensor package design is also proposed. Design of the mold supporter is modified to round shape and then supporting points do not change. The data from the fiber sensors show identical and linear behavior to the axle weight. The proposed fiber optic WIM system is tested in the laboratory and experimented with actual trucks. The new concept of calibration is introduced and calculated by the experiments. The calibrated weight data show good approximations to real axial weights regardless the velocities of the truck.

In this paper, a long gauge Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor system is described and long gauge FBGs are well, suited for measuring the upper parts of the bridge piers under the extremely severe movement conditions. In the experiments, we used more than 30m long FBG sensors to measure the movement of top part of the bridge piers which are separated from the main bridge by cutting the decks. With the actuator, the deck and girders were pushed and released. We checked the movement of the top of the pier while releasing the pressure of the actuator with the long gauge fiber sensor. In order to measure the movement of the upper part of the pier, the reference point must be outside of the pier. Using the optical fiber sensors, one end of the sensor is attached to the top of the pier and the other end is attached to the bottom of the next pier. The fiber sensors showed good response to the release loading and we could calculate the movement of the top part of the pear.

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. Fiber optic sensors, especially FBG sensors can be easily embedded into the composite structures contrary to conventional electric strain gages (ESGs). In addition, many FBG sensors can be multiplexed in single optical fiber using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) techniques. In this paper, we fabricated several filament wound pressure tanks with embedded FBG sensors and conducted some kinds of experiments such as an impact test, a bending test, and a thermal cycling test. From the experimental results, it was successfully demonstrated that FBG sensors are very appropriate to composite structures fabricated by filament winding process even though they are embedded into composites by multiplexing.

This study presents an experimental technique to monitor the dynamic behavior of the railway bridge system simultaneously using multiplexed fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors. The measuring quantities include stains, curvatures, vertical deflections, and vertical accelerations. The strains are directly measured from multiplexed FBG sensors at various locations of the test bridge followed by curvature calculations based on the plane section assumption. Vertical deflections are then estimated using the Bernoulli beam theory and regression analysis. Finally, vertical accelerations are obtained from the numerical differentiation in time domain. In order to verify the proposed method, several conventional electric strain gauges, displacement transducers, and accelerometers are installed at the mid-span of the bridge for comparisons. A test train is passed over the bridge to monitor the dynamic response of the bridge. The monitoring results show that the multiplexed FBG sensing system is able to capture the essential behavior of the test bridge while resolving wiring problem in practice.

재구성이 가능한 광 크로스-커넥트(optical cross connect)는 전광 네트워크를 구성하기 위한 핵심소자 중의 하나이다. 일반적인 구조의 파장분배기는 공간분할 스위치(space division switch)를 두 쌍의 파장 다중화기(multiplexer)와 역다중화기(demultiplexer)의 가운데에 삽입하여 구현된다$^{(1)}$ . 최근에, 광섬유 브래그 격자와 광스위치 쌍을 직렬 연결하여 재구성이 가능한 광 크로스-커넥트가 제안되었다$^{(2)}$ . 그러나, 이 구조는 광신호에 따라 광섬유 브래그 격자에 반사되면서 겪는 광스위치에 의한 삽입손실이 다르다는 문제점이 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 한 쌍의 파장 다중화기/역다중화기와 파장가변 광섬유 브래그 격자를 이용한 새로운 구조의 광 크로스-커넥트를 제안하고자 한다. 또한, 제안된 구조는 일반적인 구조의 파장분배기에 비해 파장 다중화기/역다중화기의 개수를 반으로 줄일 수 있는 장점이 있다.

In this paper, we propose a new tunable laser diode structure. The laser diode consists of a sampled-grating distributed feedback laser diode monolithically integrated with a sampled-grating distributed-Brags-Reflector. For a specific design, the possibility of continuous/discrete wavelength tuning over 27nm is confirmed by a numerical analysis using a split-step time domain model. Because the laser diode can be directly coupled with optical fiber without the intervention of the passive section, the laser diode exhibits higher output power than the conventional laser diode.
