The purpose of this study is to find the new method for estiming the spatial variations in a light source with utilizing the optical fiber sensory system. With this aim, firstly the asymmetry in the beam profile of a light source is evaluated by using the tipped optical fiber with 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 45-degree angle. Secondly the variation of position in a light source is estimated by adjusting the relative position between the light source unit (XYZ stage, LED, Optical fiber) and the receiver unit (Photodiode, XYZ stage). Our experimental results show that the spatial variation of a light source can be resolved in terms of the variations in beam profile with varying the tip angle of an optical fiber and adjusting the relative distance between the light source unit and the receiver.

광섬유 센서 구성을 위한 장주기 광섬유 격자(Long-Period Fiber Grating, LPFG)는 코어 모드로 진행하는 빔이 위상 정합 조건(Phase Matching Condition)에 의해 특정 파장에서 클래딩 모드와 커플링이 일어나는 광소자이다. 공진 파장과 커플링의 세기는 온도, 스트레인, 주변 굴절 지수 등에 의해 민감하게 변화하는 특성을 이용하여 광섬유 센서에 넓게 응응될 수 있다 일반적으로 광섬유 격자는 광섬유 코어를 자외선에 노출시킴으로서 굴절률의 주기적인 변화가 유도되는 원리, 즉 광민감성 (Photosensitivity)에 기초를 두고 있으며 광민감성을 가진 격자제조용 광섬유 제작은 광섬유 격자 연구에 대단히 중요한 부분이다. 이 논문에서는 보론 첨가의 양에 의한 코어와 클래딩의 굴절률 차 변화와 그것에 따른 장주기 광섬유 격자의 온도 및 구부림 특성 변화를 분석하였다. 보론의 양이 증가할수록 코어와 클래딩의 굴절률 차가 줄어드는 것$(1.69{\times}10^{-4}/SCCM)$을 실험을 통해 알 수 있었고, 그로 인해 보론의 음의 온도 의존성으로 인해 장주기 광섬유 격자의 온도 의존성이 억제됨$(0.01145nm/^{\circ}C/SCCM)$을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 보론의 증가로 인해 코어와 클래딩의 굴절률차가 줄어들수록 장주기 광섬유 격자는 구부림에 더 민감함을 알 수 있었다.

We report some methods for measuring a LiNbO$_3$ optical phase modulator bandwidth. Since Mach-Zehnder waveguide type, one of methods for modulation bandwidth measurement, is comparatively simple and useful, it was adapted in this work. In order to confirm this method, the waveguide of single and Mach-Zehnder type were fabricated on the same wafer. The Mach-Zehnder interferometric waveguide and the single channel waveguide were used for the measurement of the phase modulator's driving voltage and bandwidth for device fabrications, respectively. Ti-860$\AA$ in-diffusion was achieved in a wet-bubbling oxygen environment at 105$0^{\circ}C$/8hours. LINbO$_3$ internal chips were pigtailed to PMF(polarization maintaining fiber)/SMF(single mode fiber) using an epoxy curing technique. Examined were optical properties such as an insertion loss, propagation loss and mode size, and the loss mechanism of optical coupling between an optical fiber and a waveguide was considered.

Fabric hand feeling is an important property used in apparel industry. This paper shows a sensing method to output a fiber whisker's stick slip vibration by scanning it on the fabric. Then the vibration waveforms are transformed to the Symmetrized Dot Pattern images. Experimental results show that SDP images of fiber whisker's stik slip is potentially useful to the detection of fabric hand feeling values.

Non-destructive testing methods of composite materials are very important for improving material reliability and safety. AE measurement is based on the detection of microscopic surface movements from stress waves in a material during the fracture process. The examination of AE is a useful tool for the sensitive detection and location of active damage in polymer and composite materials. FBG (Fiber Bragg Grating) sensors have attracted much interest owing to the important advantages of optical fiber sensing. Compared to conventional electronic sensors, fiber-optical sensors are known for their high resolution and high accuracy. Furthermore, they offer important advantages such as immunity to electromagnetic interference, and electrically passive operation. In this paper, the crack detection capability of AE (Acoustic Emission) measurement was compared with that of an FBG sensor under tensile testing and buckling test of composite materials. The AE signals of the PVDF sensor were measured and an AE signal analyzer, which had a low pass filter and a resonance filter, was designed and fabricated. Also, the wavelength variation of the FBG sensor was measured and its strain was calculated. Calculated strains were compared with those determined by finite element analysis.

콘크리트 구조물의 내부 변형률을 측정할 수 있는 광섬유 간섭계 센서가 개발되어졌다. 광섬유 간섭계 센서는 11 mm 길이의 광섬유 Fabry-Perot 간섭계를 2 mm 지름의 스텐레스 강관 내부에 접착제로 고정하여 만들었다. 제작된 변형률 센서들은 $100{\times}100{\times}500\;mm^3$ 크기의 콘크리트 구조물 내부에 삽입되어 외부에서 구조물에 압력을 인가했을 때 구조물 내부의 변형률을 측정하였다. 센서들의 출력은 변형률 변화에 따라 선형적으로 변화하였다. 이를 바탕으로 실제 교량에 적용하여 변형률 센서의 광출력 특성을 살펴본 결과 우수한 변형 감지 특성을 보였으며, 실제 구조물에서 원거리측정에 이용도 가능하였다.

In this study, we fabricated a plastic optical fiber based sensor which can monitor the respiration of a patient. The circumference changes of the abdomen were measured using a mirror, a light source and optical detectors because the circumferences of the abdomen could be varied with respiration. The intensity of the reflected lights were measured according to the changes of distance between mirror and plastic optical fiber connected to a light source and a photodiode-amplifier system using a Y-coupler. The respiration signals of fiber-optic sensor system were compared with those of the respiratory and temperature transducers of the $BIOPAC^{(R)}$ system. It is expected that a fiber-optic respiration sensor could be developed for real time respiration monitoring during MRI procedure based on this study.

In this study, we developed a counting method for non-contact ID cards using an optical fiber displacement sensor instead of the traditionally used friction counting method. The proposed method has the advantage of high speed and automated measurement. For counting non-contact ID cards, an H-type optical fiber sensor, jig part, and counting program are developed separately to build the system and adjust it. Through the experimental test results, it was confirmed that counting is possible with one type of international ID card and one type of financial security card based on ISO7810. Furthermore, by applying the proposed method to 100 ID cards 100 times repeatedly, it was confirmed that it has high accuracy and an error ratio of 0%. We experimentally demonstrated that the proposed counting method for non-contact ID cards using an optical fiber displacement sensor can perform measurements with high accuracy and high speed.

Recently, the interest in safety assessment of civil infrastructures is increasing in Korea. Especially, as bridge structures become large-scale, it is necessary to monitor and maintain the safety state of bridges, which requires the monitoring system that can make a long-term measurement during the service time of bridge. In this paper, advanced fiber optic sensors for long-term measurement, setup techniques of bridge monitoring system and the assessment of measured data are introduced. Attached or embedded optical fiber sensors to structural members of small and big structures including Sung San Bridge are surveyed. For the Sung San Bridge, the responses of the fiber optic sensors by 30 ton weigh truck loads with various speeds ate measured. Monitoring system is also applied to the mock-up of bridges. The monitoring capability of the advanced fiber optic sensor system was confirmed.
