Light losses in optical fibers are investigated by a fiber optic OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometry) sensor system to develop fiber optic probes for structural displacement measurement. The displacement sensitivity was determined by the measurements of fiber-bending loss according to the gage length changes of the displacement sensor. The fiber optic displacement probe was manufactured to verify the feasibility of the structural displacement measurement.

In this paper, the theoretical method of measuring the tunnel convergence and underground displacement, the objective indices of assessing safety for tunnel construction, using the fiber optic sensor is studied by developing the program to automatically measure them. The model test of Con'c beam is conducted to evaluate reliability of the fiber optic sensor. Furthermore, using the RS232 communication protocol as well as Visual C# and Visual C++, the programming tools, the program was developed to detect automatically the measured value of the fiber optic sensor, calculate the tunnel convergence and underground displacement, predict the deformed shape of the tunnel, and evaluate loosening zone due to the tunnel excavation.

A multiplexed bend loss type single-mode fiber-optic sensor system was prepared to measure the displacement of several cm of the civil engineering structures such as many bridges, tunnels and various buildings. This bend loss type fiber-optic sensor used the signal difference between two reflection signals due to various bend losses generating at a pair of optical connectors by using OTDR (optical time domain reflectometer) for measuring displacements. And the experiments were conducted for showing the measurement feasibility on the range of 10 cm, and the multiplexing experiments were also performed to measure the displacements of 5 measuring positions of an object by setting these 5 fiber-optic sensors on a single mode fiber simultaneously.

교량과 각종 건물을 비롯한 대형 토목 구조물에서 발생하는 수 mm의 변위를 한 개의 광섬유로 간편하게 측정하기 위하여 광커넥터에서 반사가 굽힘 손실에 의하여 변하는 현상을 이용한 새로운 다중화된 광섬유 변위센서를 제안하고 실험하였다. 한 쌍의 광커넥터 양끝에서 반사광의 신호차이가 두 광커넥터 사이에서 발생한 굽힘 변위에 의해서 달라지는 것을 Optical Time Domain Reflectometer로 측정하여 선형으로 그 변화가 측정되는 변위센서를 만들고, 이 센서 4개를 직렬형으로 배열하여 여러 지점의 변위를 동사에 측정이 가능한 다중화 센서 시스템을 구성하고 실험하였다. 그 결과 이 변위센서를 이용하면 4개 지점에서 각각 최대 6 mm까지의 변위를 6%의 오차범위 내에서 0.9942의 선형성을 가지고 변위를 측정할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Precision displacement of less than a few nm resolution was measured in real-time using fiber optic EFPI sensor. The novel method for real-time processing of analyzing EFPI output signal was developed and verified. Linearity in the mean values of interferometric light intensity among adjacent fringes was shown and verified the sinusoidal approximation algorithm that estimates past and coming fringe values. Real-time signal processing program was developed and the intensity signal of the EFPI sensor was transformed to the phase shift with this program. The resolution below $0.36{\sim}8.6$ nm in the displacement range of $0{\sim}300{\mu}m$ was obtained. The nano-positioner with a piezoelectric actuator and the EFPI sensor system was designed and tested. The positioner successfully reached to the desired destination within 1 nm accuracy.

광섬유 OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometry) 센서로 사회 기반 구조물의 변위를 측정하기 위한 탐촉자를 개발하였다. 광섬유 OTDR 변위 센서의 외부에서 주어지는 변위에 따라 광손실을 일으키는 굽힘부와 상용 광섬유 커넥터로 구성되었다. 이렇게 구성된 탐촉자는 광커넥터의 양끝에서 반사되는 빛의 신호차이가 커넥터들 사이에서 발생하는 굽힘 변위에 의해서 달라지는 것을 OTDR 센서 본체로 측정하여 변위 변화를 알아낼 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 수 cm의 변위를 일으키는 구조물의 변위를 측정하기 위하여 동일한 단일모드 광섬유에서 이 센서 탐촉자 5개를 직렬형으로 배열하여 사용할 수 있는 다중화된 굽힘 손실형 단일모드 광섬유 변위센서를 제안하고, 이 센서 탐촉자들을 사용하여 다중화 실험을 수행하였다.

Precision displacement of less than a few nm resolution was measured in real-time using fiber optic EFPI sensor. The novel method for real-time processing of analyzing EFPI output signal was developed and verified. Linearity in the mean values of interferometric light intensity among adjacent fringes was shown, and the sinusoidal approximation algorithm that estimates past and coming fringe values was verified through the linearity. Real-time signal processing program was developed, and the intensity signal of the EFPI sensor was transformed to the phase shift with this program. The resolution below 0.4 ~ 10 nm in the displacement range of $0 ~ 300\mu\textrm{m}$ was obtained by reducing the photodetector noise using low-pass filter and signal averaging. The nano-translation stage with a Piezo-electric actuator and the EFPI sensor system was designed and tested. This stage successfully reached to the desired destination in $15\mu\textrm{m}$ range within 1 nm accuracy.

This paper presents the system demonstrator for an optical fiber sensor system developed as a technological evaluator suitable for generic sensric sensing applications. The new type of fiber-optic sensor employed a diaphragm displacement transforms pressure into optical intensity. Form this sensing technique, we can know the variation of source intensity, the loss of a optical fiber, and the reflectivity of the diaphragm surface. Experimental results are applied to the low-pressure transducer suitable for measuring miniature pressure.

A new type fiber optic sensing system has been developed as a commercially available standard using the technique of hetero-core spliced fiber optic sensor, for the purposes of monitoring large scaled structures, preserving natural environments and measuring physical phenomenons. The sensing system has been tested and evaluated in a possible outdoor condition in view of the full scaled operation at actual sites to be monitored. Additionally, the developed system in this work conveniently provides us with various options of sensor modules intended to measure such physical quantities as displacement, distortion, pressure, binary states and liquid adhesion. The experiment study has been performed to examine the performance to a pseudo-cracking experiment in the outdoor situation, and to clarify temperature influences to the system in terms of the coupling of optical connectors and the OTDR stability. It has been verified that the sensing system is robust to the temperature change ranging from the general condition to the hard condition. Especially, in this study, the specification and performances of the pressure sensor have been demonstrated to show the capability of inspecting various physical quantities.

최근 구조 건전성 모니터링을 위해 다양한 센서와 분석 기술들을 적용하여 기계/토목 구조물의 처짐을 측정하는 연구들이 활발히 수행되고 있다. 처짐을 측정하기 위해 사용되는 다양한 전기 기반 상용 센서의 경우, 많은 수의 센서가 설치될 때 함께 설치된 다량의 전선들은 전기적 잡음 문제를 야기하여 사용상의 어려움을 발생시킨다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기본 센서의 문제점을 해결하면서 미세 변위를 손쉽게 측정할 수 있는 저가형의 광강도형 광섬유 변위 센서를 제안한다. 이를 위해, 광섬유 굽힘 손실 현상을 이용하여 센서부의 형태를 고안하였으며 민감도, 선형성 그리고 작동 범위를 구하기 위한 기초 실험을 수행하였다. 또한 변위 측정이 용이하고 구조물에 손쉽게 설치할 수 있도록 센서 헤드의 기구부를 새롭게 설계 제작하였으며, 이를 사용하기 위한 실시간 프로그램 또한 함께 개발하여 광섬유 변위 센서 시스템을 개발 완료하였다.
