The phase change due to the reflection from target surfaces in a white-light interferometer induces measurement errors when target surfaces are composed of dissimilar materials. We prove that this phase change on reflection as the polarization of the white-light changes causes a shift of both envelope peak position and fringe peak position of several tens of nanometers as the polarization of the white-light changes. In addition, we propose a new equation for white-light interference fringes depending on the polarization of the source.

We constructed a very accurate fiber bragg grating sensor system using an unbalanced mach-zehnder interferometer which converts the measurand-induced bragg wavelength shift to phase change of th einterference signal. With a shielded reference grating, output phase drift which orginates from the thermal drift on the interferometer was compensated. Mesured accuracy of the constructed system was 0.03 .deg. C and 0.26.mu. strain for temperature and strain measuremtn, respectively. It is over 300 times better resolution compared to the conventional optical spectrum analyzer which has 0.1nm wavelength resolution capability.

Bell states have been investigated in a Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometer using photon pairs from a type-1 SPDC. The four kinds of the Bell states, $|{\Psi}^+>,|{\Psi}^->,|{\Phi}^+>,|{\Phi}^->$ are created by placing 2 HWPs, 2 QWPs at outputs of the interferometer. They show an average visibility of 77% in the coincidence measurement.

A fiberoptic sensor using an SLD as a light source has been studied. The sensor system employs an intrinsic fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer as a sensing tip and a fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer as a processing one. A free loading test for temperature application shows that the fiberoptic sensor has a wide-dynamic range as well as high resolution. Due to the inherent property of the optical fiber itself and the intrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer. the fiberoptic sensor gives obvious benefits when it is applied to harsh environments to monitor some physical parameters such as temperature, strain, pressure and vibration.

A description of the basic principles of moire interferometry leads to the design of a eight-mirror four-beam interferometer for obtaining fringe patterns representing contour-maps of in-Plane displacements. The technique is implemented by the optical system using an environmental chamber for submicro-displacement mesurement. In order to estimate the reliability and applicabili쇼 of the system developed, the measurement of coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) for a aluminium block is performed. Consequently, the system is applied to the measurement of thermal deformation of a WB-PBGA package assembly. Temperature dependent analyses of global and local deformations are presented to study the effect of the mismatch of CTE between materials composed of the package assemblies. Bending displacements of the packages and average strains of solder balls are documented. Thermal induced displacements calculated by FEM agree quantitatively with experimental results.

Small vibration displacements may be measured by optical interferometers, based on the Michelson method. The standard Michelson interferometer works well when the mirror displacements are relatively large compared to the optical wavelength. But it does not work for displacements less than approximately a quater of optical wavelength. Several multiple reflection laser interferometers, simply modified standard Michelson interferometer, have been developed to decrease the minimum detectable limits. Among these a relatively simple and easy multiple reflection system is used to measure the small vibration displacements. This multiple reflection system is constructed with a right angle prism and a convex lens. Therefore this system makes it possible to measure a vibration displacement of the small area on the vibrating structure. The fringe interpolation method and curve fitting method are used to determine accurately the small vibration displacements from the measured interference fringe patterns. Also computer simulation technique is used to check the accuracies of these method. According to the results of the computer simulation technique, the curve fitting method is more accurate than the fringe interpolation method. The optically measured results are in good agreement with those of the standard accelerometer with high accuracy and it is possible to measure the peak vibration displacement as small as 9.01nm using multiple reflection system and curve fitting method.

A new signal processing algorithm for white light interferometry has been proposed and investigated theoretically. The goal of the algorithm is to determine the absolute optical path length of an interferometer with very high precision (<< one optical wavelength). The algorithm features cross-correlation of interferometer fringe scans and hypothesis testing. The hypothesis test looks for a zero order fringe peak candidate about which the cross-correlation is symmetric minimizing the uncertainty of misidentification. The shot noise limited performance of the proposed signal processing algorithm has been analyzed using computer simulations. Simulation results were extrapolated to predict the misidentification rate at Signal to-Shot noise ratio (SNR) higher than 31 dB. Root-mean-square phase error between the computer-generated zero order fringe peak and the estimated zero order fringe peak has been calculated for the changes of three different parameters (SNR, fringe scan sampling rate, coherence length of light source). Results of computer simulations showed the ability of the proposed signal processing algorithm to identify the zero order fringe peak correctly. The proposed signal processing algorithm uses a software approach, which is potentially inexpensive, simple and fast.

In order for the measurement results of an electro-optical distance meter(EDM), which is widely used in surveying, to be reliable, an EDM should be calibrated. For the calibration of an EDM, we have settled a traceability chain, which connects the EDM under calibration to the definition of metre. The chain starts from the iodine stabilized He-Ne laser which realizes the definition of metre, and then connected to a stabilized laser interferometer, a standard EDM, and finally to the EDM under calibration through the baseline. We achieved the expanded calibration uncertainties of the scale and length measurement of an EDM being evaluated to be 6$\times$10$^{-6}$ and 0.2 mm, respectively. Two different calibration methods, and their results are compared.

Using evanescent field coupling between single ($LP_{01}$) and double ($LP_{01}, LP_{11}$) mode optical fiber, we selected LPII mode beam. With a $LP_{11}$ mode beam from a double mode fiber. we fabricated $LP_{11}$ mode fiber optic resonant ring interferometer, and assured that the guided mode is $LP_{11}$ mode from a radiation beam coming through the prism output coupler. When an external perturbation applied to the signal arm of the $LP_{11}$ fiber optic resonant ring interferometer, we examined the change of radiation mode coming from a prism output coupler and an end of optical fiber. Using two photodiode, LPn mode beam converted to voltage. This two output voltages is applied to X and Y terminal of oscilloscope to display circular motion on oscilloscope.
