광 평면 유전체 기판 위에 형성된 금속격자구조의 누설특성을 이용한 새로운 광 결합용 필터를 제안하였고, Bragg 조건들을 모드 전송선로 이론을 사용하여 정확하게 분석하였다. 수치해석 결과, 유전체격자구조로 구성된 기존의 DFB는 전송 모드들의 피드백특성에 기인한 차단대역을 형성하지만 금속격자구조는 누설파특성에 기인한 차단대역을 형성하는 것으로 나타났다. 결국, 누설파 필터특성을 적용한 광 결합용 필터는 LD나 광섬유와 같은 광통신용 소자들과 집적이 가능함을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 500 A용 bus bar에 적용할 수 있는 광섬유 브래그 격자를 이용한 전류 센서를 제안하여 실험으로 구현하였다. Bus bar와 영구자석을 광섬유 격자로 연결하여 전류 인가 시, 연결된 두 소자 사이에서 발생하는 자기력에 의해 광섬유 브래그 격자의 브래그 파장이 변하게 된다. 실험 결과 500 A 직류 전류를 인가 시 브래그 파장은 650 pm의 변화를 보였다.

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.

색분산 보상에 사용되는 선형 첩 광섬유 격자의 제작에 있어서 Group Delay Ripple(GDR)을 줄이기 위한 apodization 기술에 대해 이론적으로 분석하고 실험적으로 규명하고자 한다. 첩격자의 제작에는 위상 마스크를 이용한 UV 빔 스캐닝 기법을 적용하였고, PZT(Piezoelectric transducer)를 이용하여 위상 마스크를 빔 스캐닝 중에 적절하게 흔들어줌으로써 apodization이 일어나도록 하였다. 이러한 모든 과정이 컴퓨터 제어로 이루어지기 때문에 다양한 apodization 프로파일을 적용할 수 있었다. Gaussian, Raised-cosine, Blackman, 그리고 Hyperbolic tangent 등의 프로파일을 적용하여 첩격자를 제작하였으며 실험 결과 0.05 nm 구간평균 peak-to-peak GDR이 20ps 이하로 감소하였다.

An electrically controllable fiber Bragg grating inscribed in a hydrogen-loaded standard single-mode fiber with liquid-crystal cladding is presented. Control of the optic axis of liquid crystals by means of external electric fields results in the change of reflectivity and Bragg wavelength of the grating. The increase of surrounding refractive index of a fiber makes effective refractive index of a propagation mode higher, which results in high field confinement and longer Bragg wavelength. The reduction of the fiber diameter by chemical etching process improves the long-range ordering of liquid-crystal molecules and reduces controlling voltage. The tunable ranges of reflectivity and Bragg wavelength of the liquid crystal-cladding fiber Bragg grating were $\~4.6dB\;and\;\~0.3nm$, respectively.

We demonstrate continuous-wave operation of an all-fiber thulium-holmium codoped laser operating at a wavelength of 1706.3 nm. To realize laser operation in the short-wavelength region of the emission-band edge of thulium in silica fiber, we employ fiber Bragg gratings having resonant reflection at a wavelength around 1700 nm as a wavelength-selective mirror in an all-fiber cavity scheme. We first examine the performance of the laser by adjusting the central wavelength of the in-band pump source. Although a pump source possessing a longer wavelength is observed to provide reduced laser threshold power and increased slope efficiency, because of the characteristics of spectral response in the gain fiber, we find that the optimal pump wavelength is 1565 nm to obtain maximum laser output power for a given system. We further explore the properties of the laser by varying the fiber gain length from 1 m to 1.4 m, for the purpose of power scaling. It is revealed that the laser shows optimal performance in terms of output power and slope efficiency at a gain length of 1.3 m, where we obtain a maximum output power of 249 mW for an applied pump power of 2.1 W. A maximum slope efficiency is also estimated to be 23% under these conditions.

We report the formation of inner cladding modes in the optical fiber having an inner cladding structure. The inner cladding layer located between the core- and the cladding- layers of a conventional fiber might have, so called, inner cladding mode(s). The brief history of the inner cladding fiber and the spectral properties of the inner cladding mode are presented. By utilizing fiber gratings, the spectral properties of the inner cladding mode formed in Dispersion Compensating Fiber (DCF) are discussed. It was observed that one resonant peak of a long-period fiber grating was not sensitive to the variation on the cladding surface. With a fiber Bragg grating, a small group of unusual resonant Peaks was observed between the main Bragg Peak and the series of usual Peaks resulted from the mode coupling to counter-propagating cladding modes. Within the DCF by using fiber gratings, it is noted, at least one mode can be coupled to the inner cladding mode and a few outer cladding modes are severely affected by the inner cladding of the fiber.

금속 모세관을 이용하여 일반적인 단일모드 광섬유를 결합함으로써 매크로 벤딩(macro bending)을 측정할 수 있는 광섬유 센서를 제작하였다. 매크로 벤딩에 의한 곡률 반지름이 감소함에 따라 각도 정렬 오차가 증가하여 투과되는 빛의 에너지가 감소하게 되므로 매크로 벤딩을 측정할 수 있었다. 측정 범위는 곡률 반지름 20mm에서 85mm의 영역이었다. 사용한 광섬유 격자의 중심 파장은 각각 1543.3 nm, 1549.5nm이고 최대 벤딩 손실을 -11.19dB였다. 이 센서와 광섬유 브래그 격자를 이용하여 다중점 측정이 가능함을 보였다.

Long Period Gratings (LPG) is currently receiving considerable attention because of their consistent measuring results fur pressure, temperature, strain and flow. LPG is easier to prepare and has a high sensitivity compared with Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG). In addition, this kind of optical fiber sensors could be used for implementations in various structures. In this paper, LPG was used to monitor in situ the resin flow and the curing process in VARTM (Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer. Molding). In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method, FBG is inserted into the glass mat to monitor the resin flow using optical spectrum analyzer (OSA). The curing reactions in VARTM are also observed using the same method. From the results, the attenuation wavelength shift and the loss change of attenuation band can be obtained from the status of the RTM (Resin Transfer Molding) sample owing to the internal variations of the .effective index, temperature, and pressure. It is shown that the proposed LPG is more effective in monitoring the curing reaction than FBG.
