We have proposed and experimentally demonstrated a novel fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensing interrogation method using bidirectional modulation of a Mach-Zehnder electro-optical modulator (MZ-EOM). The proposed structure consists mainly of a broadband light source (BBS), FBG, MZ-EOM, chirped fiber Bragg grating (CFBG), and photodetector (PD). We have obtained the transfer functions of the proposed structure and calculated the time delay from the change in the free spectral range (FSR) for ten wavelengths over the frequency range of 505 MHz to 525 MHz. The results show that the time delay and the wavelength variation have a good linear relationship with a gradient of 12.9 ps/0.2 nm, which can be usefully applied to FBG strain or temperature sensors and other multiplexed sensor applications.

BGP is a unique routing protocol in broadband internet. It chooses routing paths considering internet hierarchy and local policies. As BGP routers selectively bypass routing information to a subset of neighboring BGP routers, connectivity by way of a series of links between source and destination nodes does not mean reachability of routing information of the two. In emergency when BGP routers or links over wide range are not available, BGP routers have to use links that are not normally used to keep reachability. This paper listed out the requirements for BGP backup routing and proposed a routing solution that hides most demerits in currently published ones. The proposed backup operates in three tiers according to network damage. Under this rule, BGP routers use tier-0 routing paths at normal. If networks are impaired, they choose tier-1 paths. If networks are seriously damaged, tier-2 paths are allowed to use. Also this paper proves that the proposed backup guarantees stability and safeness. As results, the proposed backup is very adaptive to light network damages as well as serious ones and provides strong routing reachability at all times.

An optical arrangement has been set inside a photo-spectrometer to measure the reflectance of IR optics materials in mid IR range. The optical arrangement consists of equally spaced 4 gold coated full reflecting mirrors with the incidence angle of 45°. Baseline beam intensity I_B has been measured while the beam proceeds through the 4 mirrors. Reflectance of a mirror has been estimated from the I_B. And the beam intensity I_S with the specimen in the optical path has been measured with the 4th mirror replaced with the specimen. Reflectance of the specimen has been estimated from the value of I_S/I_B. Then the estimated reflectance has been put in Fresnel equation relating reflectance and refractive index(RI) to estimate the RI of the material. Measurement has been made for sapphire, germanium, magnesium fluoride, and zinc sulfide. The estimated RI of the materials are closely matching with reference data and the maximum difference less than 2% over the wavelength range 3-5㎛ for all materials tested. As an FT-IR photo-spectrometer with a broadband wavelength infrared light source is used, this method has the advantage of measuring the refractive index at multiple wavelengths in a single measurement.

In this paper, we have proposed and experimentally demonstrated an intensity-based self-referencing fiber optic sensor. The proposed fiber optic sensor consists of a broadband light source (BLS), fiber Bragg grating (FBG), tunable Fabry-Perot (F-P) filter, and LabVIEW program. We define the measurement parameter (X) and the calibration parameter (${\beta}$) to determine the transfer function(H) of the self-referencing fiber optic sensor, and the validity of the theoretical analysis is confirmed by experiments. The self-referencing characteristic for the proposed system has been validated by showing that the measurement parameter (X) is invariant for BLS optical power attenuations of 0 dB, 3 dB, and 6 dB. Also, the measured result is irrelevant to the FBGs with different characteristics. This means that the proposed fiber optic sensor offers the flexibility for determining the FBGs needed for implementation. Experimental results for the proposed fiber optic sensor are in good agreement with a theoretical analysis for BLS optical power attenuations and for three FBG pairs with different characteristics. So, the proposed fiber optic sensor has several benefits, including the self-referencing characteristic and the flexibility to determine the FBGs.
