비선형 광학 현상들 중 하나인 유도 브릴루앙 산란(Stimulated Brillouin Scattering; SBS)은 고체, 액체, 기체, 그리고 플라즈마 상태에서 광범위하게 관찰된다. 특히, 1990년대에 들어서면서 광섬유에서 나타나는 SBS가 주목을 받기 시작하면서 많은 연구가 이루어졌다(1-4). SBS 현상은 빔이 입사되는 방향의 반대방향일 때 가장 크게 일어나는데 일단 입사되는 빔의 출력이 SBS가 일어나기 위한 문턱 값을 넘을 때 지수적으로 증가한다(5). (중략)

Optical fiber cable, as a sensor, was installed on the wall of KAERI(Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) Underground Research Tunnel(KURT) in order to monitor the physical stability of the tunnel, which was constructed for technical development and demonstration of radioactive waste disposal. This monitoring system has two simultaneous measurements of temperature and strain over time using Brillouin backscatter. According to the results of the monitoring from Jan. 2008 to Nov. 2009, there is no significant displacement or movement at the tunnel wall However, the cumulative volume of total strain increased slightly as time passes with the comparison of the reference observation, which was measured in Jan. 2008. The change in cumulative volume of total strain indicates that the strain level had been affected by saturation and de-saturation phenomena due to groundwater fluctuation at several points at KURT. This system is based on the distributed sensing technique concept, not point sensing. By using this system, a displacement can be detected with the range from $20{\mu}{\varepsilon}$ to $28,000{\mu}{\varepsilon}$ every 1m interval in minimum. A temperature variation can be monitored at every 0.5m interval with the resolution of 0.01 in minimum. Based on the study, this monitoring system is potentially applicable to long term monitoring systems for radioactive waste disposal project as well as other structures and underground openings.

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.

In this present the transient control of SBS chaos induced instability in Brillouin-active fiber systems is described. The inherent optical feedback by the backscattered Stokes wave in optical fiber systems leads to instabilities in the form of optical chaos. At weak power, the nature of the Brillouin instability can occur at before threshold. At strong power, the temporal evolution above threshold is periodic and at higher intensity can become chaotic. Multistable periodic states, makes transition to logic 'on' or 'off'. It can make theoretically potential large memory capacity.

Focusing geometry dependence of output Stokes energy in single pass methane Raman shifter is investigated. The experimental result shows that the threshold energy decreases as confocal parameter increases. This result can be explained by gain suppression caused by Stokes - anti-Stokes coupling. In this paper, we give simple analysis for the focusing geometry dependence of Stokes - anti-Stokes coupling and present the criterion of confocal parameter to reduce the gain suppression. Focusing geometry dependence of stimulated Brillouin scattering is measured and the result is in good agreement with theoretical prediction.

This paper presents a study of laser output characteristics. We fabricated a MOPA (master oscillator power amplifier)-type high-power, narrowbandwidth fiber laser with a bidirectional pumping configuration in its main amplifier. As signal beams, light sources with bandwidths of 3 GHz and 10 GHz-phase-modulated through a PRBS (pseudo-random binary sequence)-were used interchangeably. Furthermore, the characteristics of the SBS (stimulated Brillouin scattering) were analyzed using a signal beam with 3 GHz bandwidth, by adjusting the forward to backward pumppower ratio. Moreover, the characteristics of the transverse mode instability were analyzed by adjusting the forward to backward pump-power ratio, using a signal beam with 10-GHz bandwidth. Finally, the output power from 10 GHz bandwidth was amplified to more than 1 kW using a forward to backward pump-power ratio of 1.6. The beam quality M² was measured to be approximately 1.36, and the optical-to-optical efficiency was 80% at maximum output power.

We have developed a linearly polarized high-power Yb-doped fiber laser in the master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) scheme for efficient spectral beam combining. We modulated the phase of the seed laser by pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS), with the bit length optimized to suppress stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), and subsequently amplified seed power in a 3-stage amplifier system. We have constructed by coiling the polarization-maintaining (PM) Yb-doped fiber, with core and cladding diameters of 20 ㎛ and 400 ㎛ respectively, to a diameter of 9-12 cm for suppression of the mode instability (MI). Finally, we obtained an output power of 1.004 kW with a slope efficiency of 83.7% in the main amplification stage. The beam quality factor M² and the polarization extinction ratio (PER) were measured to be 1.12 and 21.5 dB respectively. Furthermore, the peak-intensity difference between the Rayleigh signal and SBS signal was observed to be 2.36 dB in the backward spectra, indicating that SBS is successfully suppressed. In addition, it can be expected that the MI does not occur because not only there is no decrease in slope efficiency, but also the beam quality for each amplified output is maintained.

Phononic crystals are composite materials consisting of a periodic arrangement of scattering inclusions in a host material. One of the most important properties of phononic crystals is the existence of band gaps, i.e., ranges of frequencies at which acoustic waves cannot propagate through the structure. The present study aims to investigate theoretically and experimentally the acoustic band structures in two-dimensional (2D) phononic crystals consisting of periodic square arrays of stainless steel solid cylinders with a diameter of 1 mm and a lattice constant of 1.5 mm in water. The theoretical dispersion relation that depicts the relationship between the frequency and the wave vector was calculated along the ${\Gamma}X$ direction of the first Brillouin zone using the finite element method to predict the band structures in the 2D phononic crystals. The transmission and the reflection coefficients were measured in the 2D phononic crystals with 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 layers of stainless steel cylinders stacked in the perpendicular direction to propagation at normal incidence. The theoretical dispersion relation exhibited five band gaps at frequencies below 2 MHz, the first gap appearing around a frequency of 0.5 MHz. The location and the width of the band gaps experimentally observed in the transmission and the reflection coefficients appeared to coincide well with those determined from the theoretical dispersion relation.
