Fiber optic distributed temperature sensing and thermal line sensor are applied in an observation borehole and a loom deep borehole heat exchanger. For the case of permanently installed system fiber optic DTS is very useful. By comparing with TLS, fiber optic DTS shows good accuracy and reliability. Ground water flow can give influences at heat exchange rate of the heat pump system. According to the hydraulic characteristics and temperature-depth profile, we consider that temperature-depth profile do not seem to be dependent on ground water flow. A permanent installation of fiber optic cable is expected as a reliable temperature measurement technique in a borehole heat exchanger system.

In order to do continuous health monitoring of large structures, it is necessary that the distributed sensing of strain and temperature of the structures be measured. So, we present the temperature compensation of a signal from a fiber optic BOTDA (Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analysis) sensor. A fiber optic BOTDA sensor has good performance of strain measurement. However, the signal of a fiber optic BOTDA sensor is influenced by strain and temperature. Therefore, we applied an optical fiber on the beam as follows: one part of the fiber, which is sensitive to the strain and the temperature, is bonded on the surface of the beam and another part of the fiber, which is only sensitive to the temperature, is located nearby the strain sensing fiber. Therefore, the strains can be determined from the strain sensing fiber while compensating for the temperature from the temperature sensing fiber. These measured strains were compared with the strains from electrical strain gages. After temperature compensation, it was concluded that the strains from the fiber optic BOTDA sensor had good coincidence with those values of the conventional electrical strain gages.

We developed a 2-channel fiber-optic temperature sensor (FOTS) using a temperature sensing probe, a fiber-optic coupler, transmitting optical fiber, and an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR). The temperature sensing probe is divided into a sensing probe and a reference probe for accurate thermometry. A sensing probe is composed of a silicon oil, a FC terminator, a brass pipe, and a singlemode optical fiber and the structure of a reference probe is identical with that of the sensing probe excluding a silicon oil. In this study, we measured the modified optical powers of the light signals reflected from the temperature sensing probe placed inside of the water with a thermal variation from 5 to $70^{\circ}C$. Although the optical power of the reference probe was constant regardless of the temperature change, the optical power of the sensing probe decreased linearly as the temperature increased. As experimental results, the FOTS using a subtraction method showed a small difference (i.e., hysteresis) in its response due to heating and cooling. The reversibility and reproducibility of the FOTS were also evaluated.

In this study, two different technologies which can measure temperature simultaneously at many points are introduced. One is to use a thermal sensor cable that is comprised of addressable thermal sensors connected in parallel within a single cable. The other is to use an optic fiber with Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) system. The difference between two technologies can be summarized as follows. A thermal sensor cable has a concept of 'point sensing' that can measure temperature at accurate position of a thermal sensor. So the accuracy and resolution of temperature measurement are up to the ability of the thermal sensor. Whereas optic fiber sensor has a concept of 'distributed sensing' because temperature is measured by ratio of Stokes and anti-Stokes component intensities of Raman backscatter that is generated when laser pulse travels along an optic fiber. It's resolution is determined by measuring distance, measuring time and spatial resolution. The purpose of this study is that application targets of two temperature measurement techniques are checked in technical and economical phases by examining the strength and weakness of them. Considering the functions and characteristics of two techniques, the thermal sensor cable will be suitable to apply to the assessment of groundwater flow, geothermal distribution and grouting efficiency within 300m distance. It is expected that the optic fiber sensor can be widely utilized at various fields (for example: pipe line inspection, tunnel fire detection, power line monitoring etc.) which need an information of temperature distribution over relatively long distance.

본 연구에서는 광섬유 온도 분포 센싱을 통한 제체의 침투 및 붕괴와 같은 물리적 변화 현상을 모니터링하기 위해 중규모 제방 수리실험을 수행하였다. 본 실험의 중규모 실험 제방은 바이오폴리머 흙을 제방 전면에 도포하여 강도를 증진시킨 것으로 월류에 의한 침투 및 붕괴 현상이 일반 제방과는 다르게 나타날 수 있으며, 이러한 현상은 광섬유 온도 분포 센싱을 통해 획득한 온도 변화 정보를 통해 분석할 수 있었다. 제체의 위치별 시간에 따른 온도 변화 자료를 통해 제체 내부의 물리적 변화 및 침투가 발생하는 위치와 시간을 판단할 수 있었다. 본 실험에서는 급격한 온도 변화 시점이 제외지 사면보다 제내지 사면에서 먼저 발생하였으며, 이는 실험에서 제내지 사면이 붕괴된 후에 제외지 사면이 붕괴된 순서와 일치하였다.

Thermal characteristics, such as diffusivity and temperature induced change in the fiber mode index of rotation sensing fiber coil are critical factors which determine the time varying, thermo-optically induced bias drift of interferometric fiber-optic gyroscopes (IFOGs). In this study, temperature dependence of the transient effect is analyzed in terms of the thermal characteristics of the fiber coil at three different temperatures. By applying an analytic model to the measured bias in the experiments, comprehensive thermal factors of the fiber coil could be extracted effectively. The validity of the model was confirmed by the fact that the extracted values are reasonable results in comparison with well known properties of the materials of the fiber coil. Temperature induced changes in the critical factors were confirmed to be essential in compensating the transient effect over a wide temperature range.

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.

본 연구에서는 여러 지점의 온도를 동시에 측정할 수 있는 두 가지 온도 모니터링 기법을 소개하고 있다. 그 하나는 고유주소를 가지고 있는 온도센서로 구성된 온도센서 배열 케이블을 이용하는 기법이며, 다른 하나는 광섬유 센서를 이용하여 분포 온도를 측정하는 기법이다. 이 두 기법의 차이점은 다음과 같이 요약될 수 있다. 온도센서 배열 케이블은 온도센서가 위치하는 정확한 지점의 온도를 측정하게 된다. 그에 대한 온도 측정의 정밀도 및 분해능은 그 온도 센서의 성능에 따라 결정된다. 한편, 광섬유 센서는 레이저 펄스가 광섬유를 따라 보내질 때 생성되는 Raman 역산란파를 분석함으로써 온도를 측정하기 때문에 분포 개념의 온도를 측정하게 된다. 그에 대한 온도 분해능은 측정거리, 측정시간 및 온도측정 거리분해능에 따라 결정된다. 본 논문은 두 가지 온도 모니터링 시스템의 장단점을 비교함으로써 기술적이고 경제적인 측면에서 그의 응용분야를 면밀히 검토하는 데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 두 기법을 이용한 다양한 실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과를 검토해 보면 온도센서 배열 케이블은 300m 범위 내의 지하수 흐름, 지열 분포 및 그라우팅 효과 검증에 적합할 것으로 판단되며 광섬유 센서는 상대적으로 긴 거리에 걸친 분포 온도에 대한 정보가 필요한 파이프 파인 감시, 터널 화재 감시 및 전력선 모니터링과 같은 분야에서 효율적으로 활용될 것이 기대된다.

한 개의 감지 광섬유 라인으로 분포 온도와 몇 개의 변형률을 측정할 수 있는 새로운 광섬유 센서 연구를 수행하였다. 분포 온도는 감지 광섬유의 라만 안티-스토크스 산란광을 시간영역 반사계(OTDR: optical time domain reflectometry)로 측정하고, 변형률은 광섬유 브래그 격자(FBG: fiber Bragg grating)를 사용하여 측정하였다. 분포 온도는 4 km의 단일 모드 광섬유의 감지 광섬유로부터 안티-스토크스 후방 산란광을 양방향에서 취득하고 새로이 고안된 수식으로 온도를 계산하였다. 온도 실험은 감지 광섬유의 중간쯤에서 약 50 m의 광섬유 부분의 온도를 $30^{\circ}C$부터 $70^{\circ}C$까지 $10^{\circ}C$ 간격으로 변화시키면서 실험한 결과 온도 측정 오차 범위는 $0.50^{\circ}C$이하로 확인되었다. 또한 감지 광섬유에 설치된 FBG는 변위 스테이지로 변형시키고 파장 변화를 광학 스펙트럼 분석기로 측정한 결과 각각 0.10 nm, 0.17 nm, 0.29 nm, and 0.00 nm를 얻었다. 이러한 파장 이동은 각각 $85.76{\mu}{\epsilon}$, $145.55{\mu}{\epsilon}$, $247.86{\mu}{\epsilon}$, $0.00{\mu}{\epsilon}$에 해당되었다.

In this study, two fiber-optic sensors were fabricated to measure water level and temperature using optical fibers, a coupler, a Lophine and an OTDR (optical time-domain reflectometer). First, using Fresnel's reflection generated at the distal-ends of each optical fiber, which was installed at different depth, we measured the water level according to the variation of water level. Next, we also measured the temperature of water using a temperature sensing probe based on the Lophine, whose absorbance changes with the temperature. The measurable temperature range of the fiber-optic sensor is from $5^{\circ}C$ to $65^{\circ}C$ because the maximum operation temperature of the optical fiber without a physical deterioration is up to $80^{\circ}C$.
