The tactile force sensor was studied using Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG). The FBG is able to multiplex easily and is immune to electromagnetic environment. A sensor frame was designed to a cantilever beam type. Strain of a beam is related with the peak shift of a bragg wavelength. Finite Element Method (FEM) was used for getting an appropriate thickness from 0.2 mm to 0.3 mm thick. FEM results showed that 0.3 mm thick was suitable for the force range 10 N. The force resolutions of 0.039 N and 0.113 N were obtained with optical spectrum analyser and tunable Fabry-Perot filter, respectively.

For the simultaneous measurement of strain and vibration signal, a fiber Bragg grating sensor system with a dual demodulator was proposed. One demodulator using a tunable Fabry-Perot filter could measure low-frequency signal such as strain and the other demodulator using a coarse wavelength division multiplexer could detect high-frequency signal such as vibration signal using intensity demodulation method. In order to measure strain and vibration of the composite main wing model under static loading a real time monitoring program was developed. Also using intensity demodulation of CWDM, sensitivity and resolution at high frequency vibration were evaluated.

In this study, a novel method for sweeping automatic linearization of wavelength swept laser is proposed. Through the test performed on the implemented laser, the linear sweeping is held up well with a 97% decrease in nonlinearity, and 60 nm sweeping range, 1 kHz sweeping frequency, and 8.8 mW average optical power were obtained. The proposed method uses fiber Bragg grating array, optical-electronic conversion circuit, FPGA embedded module, and a LabVIEW program to generate new compensated wave patterns which were applied to the fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter. Linear sweeping can reduce the cumbersome and time-consuming recalibration process required for nonlinear sweeping. Additionally, the proposed method provides more accurate measurement results for the structure safety monitoring system.

We developed a fiber-optic Bragg grating sensor system using a SOA fiber laser for over heat detection in power systems. To compensate the nonlinear wavelength tuning of the fiber laser, we used fixed passband wavelengths from Fabry-Perot ITU filter as reference wavelengths. Gaussian line-fitting algorithm was also used to reduce the FBG peak detection error. Compared with a highest-peak-detection and a polynomial-fitting method, the proposed Gaussian fitting algorithm could drastically reduce the measurement errors. Also the SOA fiber laser made it possible to enhance the signal-to-noise-ratio even with several kilometers of lead fiber.

We experimentally demonstrated a novel wavelength-swept laser using a cascaded Raman gain around 1310 nm. A 1064/1310 wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) coupler and coupled fiber Bragg gratings mirrors at 1064, 1117, 1175, 1240 nm are effectively used to increase the power efficiency in a laser ring cavity with highly non-linear fiber (HNLF) of 2 km. Linear wavelength sweeping is demonstrated with the 100 Hz triangular driving signal to fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter (FFP-TF) around the 1310 nm region. The measured sweeping range and output power were 27 nm and 2.1 mW, respectively, which are suitable for optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging.

파장분할다중(WDM) 광통신시스템에서 광원의 파장을 정확하게 측정하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 지금까지 광파장측정기는 격자나 Fabry-Perot 에탈론을 사용한 광대역 필터(optical bandpass filter) 및 파장에 따라 삽입손실이 다른 파장판별기(wavelength discriminator)등으로 구현되었지만 빛의 간섭 현상을 이용한 마이켈슨 간섭계가 가장 많이 사용되었다. 특히 푸리에 변환 마이켈슨 간섭계 파장측정기$^{(1)}$ 는 동시에 각각 다른 파장의 광원들이 입사되더라도 각각의 파장을 측정할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 즉 마이켈슨 간섭계에서 주기적인 간섭무늬에 의한 광검출기의 출력은 입력된 광파장에 따라 다른 주기를 가진다. 따라서 서로 다른 파장을 가진 빛이 입사했을 때 검출되는 각각의 광전력의 합을 표본화(sampling)한 뒤 FFT를 거치면 광파장과 광검출기로 수신한 신호의 중심 주파수의 관계를 알 수 있으므로, 서로 다른 파장을 가진 빛이 입사하더라도 각각의 파장을 측정할 수 있는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 푸리에 변환을 이용하되 마이켈슨 간섭계 대신 마하젠더 간섭계형 광변조기를 이용하여 광파장을 측정에 관한 실험적 구현과 개선 방안에 대해 제시한다.

광섬유 일체형으로 된 파브리-페롯 가변 필터를 레이저 공진기에 삽입하고, 1300 nm 대역의 반도체 광 증폭기를 이득매질로 이용하여 링 공진기 형태의 파장 훑음 레이저를 구현하였다. 파장 훑음 레이저의 훑음 주파수에 따른 레이저 출력 특성을 시간영역과 파장영역에서 분석하였다. 파장 훑음 주파수가 증가하면 레이저 출력이 급격하게 줄어들고, 훑음 반치폭도 감소한다. 또한 훑음 주파수 증가에 따라 전방 훑음과 후방 훑음의 광 세기가 비대칭으로 나타나며, 실제 응용 시스템에 적용할 수 있는 제한요소로 작용한다.

반도체 광 증폭기와 파브리-페롯 가변 필터를 이용한 파장 훑음 레이저 기반 광 결맞음 단층 촬영을 구성하고, 이로부터 선명한 이미징을 얻기 위한 파수 영역 선형화를 구현하였다. 파수 영역 선형화는 5 개의 서로다른 공진 파장을 가진 광섬유 격자로 이루어진 어레이를 이용하여 보간법으로 수행하였다. 샘플단의 1 mm 깊이에서 파수 영역 선형화를 수행한 후 점 분포 함수(point spread function)로부터 측정한 SNR(signal-to-noise ratio)은 12 dB 향상된 값을 얻어냈다. 또한 파수 영역 선형화 전과 후에 대해 슬라이드 글라스를 이용하여 OCT 이미징을 얻어낸 결과 파수 영역 선형화가 매우 잘 되었음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Impact location monitoring is one of the major concerns of the smart health monitoring. For this application, multipoint ultrasonic sensors are to be employed. In this study, a multiplexed FBG sensor system with wide dynamic range was proposed and stabilization controlling system was also developed for the maintenance of maximum sensitivity of sensors. For the intensity demodulation system of FBG sensors, Fabry-Perot tunable filter(FP-TF) with 23.8nm FSR(free spectral range) was used, which behaves as two separate filters between $1530 \~ 1560$ nm range. Two FBG sensors were attached on the bottom side of the graphite/epoxy composite beam specimen, and low velocity impact tests were performed to detect the one-dimensional impact locations. Impact locations were calculated by the arrival time differences of the impact longitudinal waves acquired by the two FBGs. As a result, multiplexed in-line FBG sensors could detect the moment of impact precisely and found the impact locations with the average error of 1.32mm.

Recently, there has been considerable interest in the development of fiber-optic sensors based on fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs), which can be made into Ge-doped fiber's core by UV phase mask or holographic methods. A good sensitivity and small size of this sensor make it an ideal candidate for distributed sensing in smart structures or other structural monitoring applications. In this study, fiber optic Bragg grating sensor, which could be applied to measure the absolute strains, was constructed and the strain sensitivity of this sensor was investigated in order to apply to the structural health monitoring. Fiber Fabry-Perot (FFP) filter has been used to detect the optical signals instead of optical spectrum analyzer. It has been convenient to determine the structural strains from the output signal of FBGs. The fiber optic Bragg grating sensor was attached on the aluminum beam near the electrical strain gage to measure the same strain. The relationship between strain and fiber signal was linearly fitted. The strain sensitivity of the fiber optic Bragg grating sensor was determined as $l.57{\mu}{\varepsilon}/{\mu}sec$ from the aluminum beam test.
