Superluminescent diodes(SLDs) are the optimum light sources for application in optical measurement systems such as fiber gyroscopes, optical time domain reflectometers, and to short and medium distance optical communication systems. The broadband characteristics of SLDs reduce Rayleigh backscattering noise, polarization noise, and the bias offset due to the nonlinear Kerr effect in fiber gyro systems. In this paper, in order to suppress lasing oscillation, we introduced a laterally tilted SCH(Separate Confinement Heterostructure)-SLD with a window region. An output power of 11mW has been achieved at 200mA injection current at 25$^{\circ}C$. At 120mA, parallel and perpendicular to the junction were 31$^{\circ}$${\times}$38$^{\circ}$.

An isolator transmits light in the forward direction and blocks light from passing in the reverse direction. It is regarded an essential optical component in medical, industrial, and research lasers for blocking reflection beams that cause optical damage and noise. It is also used as a communicative light intensifier to expand the lifespan of devices and enhance transmission quality. This study analyzed the characteristics of the core components in the construction of a polarization-independent isolator, namely, the walk-off polarizer and the Faraday rotator. Measurement of the extinction ratio of the resultant walk-off polarizer revealed that the ratio between the vertical and horizontal rays was 1,050:1 with a laser output of 0.032 W and 1,010:1 with a laser output of 2.68 W, thus presenting ratios similar to 1,000:1. In addition, the walk-off polarizer and Faraday rotator constructed in this study were used to compare output changes according to changes in power of input light and to check the penetration ratio. Results from the study presented variations in output value according to changes in power of input light. However, the average penetration ratio remained relatively consistent (~81.4%).

This paper will suggest that the 1 cross orthogonal loop type sensor improves on the orthogonal loop form sensor-head, which is available a calibration of the linear birefringence, when a fiber optic current sensor was composed. An output characteristics of the 1 cross orthogonal loop form, a general closed loop form, the orthogonal loop form are compared by the IEC(International Electrotechnical Commission) 60044-8 standard, and the state of polarization is compared with three forms. As a result, when the closed loop form was changed to the orthogonal loop form, retardation decreased 15.3[%]. When the closed loop form was changed to the 1 cross orthogonal loop type, the retardation decreased 33.8[%]. As a result of the Faraday Effect measurement, the 1 cross orthogonal loop form has the highest output characteristic and the lowest error ratio. It met the 0.5 class of the IEC 60044-8 standard. Thus, in application of the 1cross orthogonal loop form, the possibility to develop high reliability fiber optic current sensors that have a high output and stable error ratio rises is increased.

근래 활발히 연구되고 있는 광통신 분야에서 광섬유는 중요한 위치를 차지하고 있으며 현재까지 여러 가지 연구가 되어져 왔다. 광섬유 중 플라스틱 광섬유는 근거리 광통신 분야에 사용을 위해서 활발한 연구와 개발이 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 광섬유의 특성을 결정짓는 중요한 요소 중 하나가 광섬유의 굴절률 분포이다. 광섬유의 굴절률 분포는 광 전송특성을 결정짓는 요소로서 이러한 이유 때문에 좋은 전송특성을 위해 GRIN 광섬유의 개발과 연구가 이루어져 왔다. (중략)

광섬유-평면도파로 결합기는 평면도파로의 재료와 구조에 따라 다양한 응응이 가능하다. 특히 평면도파로의 전기광학 효과를 이용하면 고속 광변조 현상을 얻을 수 있다. 평면도파롱에 전기장을 인가하기 위해서는 두개의 도체 전극이 필요하다. 전극으로 주로 금속을 많이 이용하기 때문에 금속층이 포함된 광섬유-평면도파로 결합기의 특성을 연구하는 것이 요구된다. 본 논문에서 그림 1과 같이 금속 중간층이 포함된 광섬유-평면도파로 결합기의 구조의 동작특성을 측정하고 결과를 보고한다. (중략)

Longitudinal strains (${\varepsilon}_x$) of the core and skin layers in glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) cross-ply composite laminates have been measured using the embedded optical fiber sensor of absolute extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer (A-EFPI). Transmission optical microscopy was used to investigate the damage behavior around the A-EFPI sensor. Foil-type strain gauges bonded on both the upper and lower surfaces were used for the measurement of the surface strains. It was shown that values of ${\varepsilon}_x$ in the interior of the skin layer and the core layer measured by embedded A-EFPI sensor were significantly higher than that of the specimen surface measured by strain gauges. The experimental results agreed well with those from finite element analysis on the basis of uniform stress model. Large strains in the core layer led to the occurrence of many transverse cracks which drastically reduced the strain at failure of optical fiber sensor embedded in the core layer.

We investigate strain transmissions of a surface bonded distributed optical fiber sensor considering strain variation according to positions. We first derive a strain transmission ratio depending on a wavelength of a strain distribution of the host structure from an analysis model. The strain transmission ratio is compared with numerical results obtained from the finite element method using ABAQUS. We find that the analytical results agree well with the numerical results. The strain transmission ratio is a function of a wavelength, i.e. the strain transmission ratio decreases (increases) as the wavelength of the host strain decreases (increases). Therefore, if an arbitrary strain distribution containing various wavelengths is given to a host structure, a distorted strain distribution will be observed in the distributed optical fiber sensor compare to that of the host structure, because each wavelength shows different strain transmission ratio. The strain transmission ratio derived in this study will be useful for accurately identifying the host strain distribution based on the signal of a distributed optical fiber sensor.

It is well known that a partial-discharge(PD) in insulation oil is the source of various physical and chemical phenomena, such as heat, light, gas, chemical transformation, electric current, electromagnetic radiation and ultrasonics. The PD can be detected by measuring one of these changes. Although some techniques are employed in this purpose, several obstacles interfere with an on-line measurement. Ultrasonic-wave detection is a useful method for the diagnosis of the transformer-insulation condition. Conventionally, ulyrasonic waves are detected by Piezo-electric transducer, but we use optical method that has many advantages. In this paper, we constructed a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with optical fiber and investigated the principle of operation. Test arrangement is based on the needle-plane electrode system in oil and applied AC high voltage. Ultrasonic waves were detected and analyzed with wavelet transform.
