Fabrication and electro-optic applications of glass optical fibers were reviewed. Theoretical description on the electro-optic Kerr effect in glass optical fibers, particularly for the second-order optical nonlinearity was given. Fabrication procedure and the characterization of the nonlinear electro-optic fibers with internal electrodes were described. Several electro-optic devices based on the polarimetric cells made by the nonlinear optical fibers with internal electrodes were also discussed with the experimental results on the electro-optic effect.

One of the confronting problems in using optical fibers under radiation environments is producing of color centers in optical materials due to nuclear radiation. These centers increase transmission loss by absorbing propagating light. In this study, the radiation effects on optical fiber are studied theoretically. Also, optical attenuation induced by \ulcorner-ray irradiation from Co**60 for single mode and multimode optical fibers is measured at the optical wavelength of 0.85\ulcorner and 1.3\ulcorner, and the results are analyzed. Gammaray is irradiated for 5hours at the rate of 300rads/min, which is corresponding to 90 krads of integrated dose. In case of multimode optical fibers, the induced loss at 0.85\ulcorner wavelength has been twice higher than that at 1.3\ulcorner. The loss in multimode fibers has been significantly larger by 7-20 times than that in single mode fibers, dependently on fiber materials at 1.3\ulcorner.

Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) have saturated the technological market but are still widely used in high-speed and long-distance communication systems. To overcome EDFA saturation and limitations, its erbium-doped fiber is co-doped with other materials such as zirconia and bismuth. This article demonstrates and compares the performance using three different fibers as the gain medium for zirconia-erbium-doped fibers (Zr-EDF), bismuth-erbium-doped fibers (Bi-EDF), and commercial silica-erbium-doped fibers (Si- EDF). The optical amplifier was configured with a double-pass amplification system, with a broadband mirror at the end of its configuration to allow double-pass operation in the system. The important parameters in amplifiers such as optical properties, optical amplification and noise values were also examined and discussed. All three fibers were 0.5 m long and entered with different input signals: 30 dBm for low input and 10 dBm for high input. Zr-EDF turned out to be the most relevant optical amplifier as it had the highest optical gain, longest transmission distance, highest average flatness gain with minimal jitter, and relevant noise figures suitable for the latest communication technology.

To understand the cause of the high light transmittance of the human eye, the optical effects of the collagen fibers of the stroma layer, which constitute the majority of the cornea, were analyzed. These collagen fibers, approximately 20 nm in diameter, have a regular arrangement. Accordingly, the optical properties of the collagen fibers and the fiber layer were analyzed by simulation. A standing wave was formed in the incident space by the overlapping incident light and the light reflected by the plate. In addition, it was confirmed that when the collagen fibers are arranged in a layer, the light transmittance periodically changes, depending on the number of fiber layers. The standing wave was formed in the incident space, and the light's intensity distribution was changed by the nanoscale collagen fibers in the section with the collagen layer, which affected the transmittance. To explain this phenomenon, the collagen fiber was defined as a second light source, and an attempt was made to describe the simulation results in terms of overlap of the incident light with the light emitted from the collagen fiber.

The various techniques to compensate for the signal distortion due to the group velocity dispersion (GVD) and nonlinear Kerr effects of optical fibers in the optical links have been proposed in the literature. We propose a flexible dispersion-managed link configuration consisted of single-mode and dispersion-compensating fibers with irregular dispersion coefficients over all fiber spans, and an optical phase conjugator added midway along the optical links. By distributing the lengths of the single mode fibers, we achieve a flexible optical link. The simultaneous ascending and descending distribution of the single-mode fiber lengths before and after the optical phase conjugator, respectively, best compensates the distorted wavelength division multiplexed signals in the optical link with non-fixed coefficients. Our result is consistent with those of our previous work on fixed coefficients. Therefore, to improve the compensation at any magnitude of dispersion coefficient, we must artificially distribute the lengths of the single-mode fibers into a dispersion-managed link.

As silica based optical fibers and preforms are processed at a high temperature, residual stresses are bulit in the strucure when cooled down to the room temperature. The magnitude of the residual stress depends on the difference in the thermal expansion coefficients between core and cladding glass as well as on the temperature difference. Residual stress distribution determines the intrinsic strength and could affect the long term reliability of optical fibers. And furthermore, stress can introduces anisotropy into optical fibers by photoelastic effects. The analysis of thermal stress has been intensively studied for multimode fibers$^{(1)}$ and the authors and co-wokers recently reported the stress distribution in a depressed inner cladding structure$^{(2)}$ . The compositions of the glass in the previous studies, however, have been restricted to conventional glass formers, such as GeO2, B2O3, P2O5, Fluorine. (omitted)

Bragg fibers, consisting of a low index core (including air) surrounded by a series of periodic layers of alternate high and low refractive index materials, each being higher than that of the core, form a 1D photonic bandgap (PBG). In view of the multitude of individual physical parameters that characterize a Bragg fiber, they offer a wide choice of parametric avenues to tailor their propagation characteristics. Owing to their unique PBG guidance mechanism, Bragg fibers indeed exhibit unusual dispersion characteristics that are otherwise nearly impossible to achieve in conventional silica fibers. Solid core Bragg fibers, amenable to fabrication by the highly mature MCVD technology, could be designed to realize broadband supercontinuum light. This talk would review our recent works on modeling of propagation characteristics, dispersion tailoring in them for applications as metro as well as dispersion compensating fibers and also as supercontinuum light generators.

In this study, the thermal neutron effects on optical fiber are examined theoretically. Also, the induced loss by thermal neutron irradiation in optical fibers is measured at the optical wavelengths of 0.85 and 1.3\ulcorner, respectively, and the results are analyzed. Thermal neutrons cause nuclear reaction with fiber compositions. So secondary ionizing radiations of high energy are generated. Color centers formed by these secondary ionizing rasiations increase transmission loss of optical fiber by absorbing propagating light in fiber core. As a result of experiment, owing to Ge, P, and B doping effects, the induced loss in multimode fibers has been 5 tmes larger than that in single mode fibers at 1.3 \ulcorner wavelengh. In case of multimode fibers, the loss at 0.8 \ulcorner wavelength region more suceptible for radiations has been twice higher than at 1.3\ulcorner.

광섬유가 방사선에 노출되면 코어 내에 컬러센터가 형성되어 광 투과성이 저하된다. 방사선 유도 손실이라 하며, 소재, 구조 등의 변화를 통해 방사선 유도 손실을 줄이고 내방사선 특성을 개선한 광섬유가 활발히 연구되고 있다. 우주, 원자력 발전소 등 극한 환경에서도 통신 및 광응용 시스템을 구축하는데 내방사 광섬유를 활용할 수 있다는 장점 때문이다. 본 발표에서는 상용 내방사 광섬유의 감마선 조사에 의한 영향을 분석한 결과를 보인다.

본 논문에서는 무선광 연결에서 신호광과 잡음광에 대한 플라스틱 광섬유의 손실차를 이용하여 잡음광의 영향을 감소하였다. 플라스틱 광섬유에서 신호광과 잡음광에 대한 손실계수가 달라서 차동검출기를 구성하는 2개의 포토다이오드로 연결되는 광섬유의 길이를 다르게 하면 신호광과 잡음광에 대한 감소 비율이 달라져 변별소자의 역할을 한다. 따라서 별도의 광필터를 설치하지 않아도 잡음광의 간섭을 소거하고 신호성분을 검출할 수 있다. 광섬유를 사용하지 않는 단일의 포토다이오드를 사용할 때에 비하여 광섬유를 사용할 때 약 9.7 dB신호대 잡음비를 개선하였다.
