최근에 폭발적으로 늘어나고 있는 인터넷 통신이나 화상회의, 고화질 유선방송 등 정보통신 수요의 증가를 충족시키기 위해서 각 사무실이나 가정까지 광섬유를 연결하여 초고속 통신을 가능하게 하는 fiber to the office 또는 fiber to the home 계획이 선진국을 중심으로 추진 중에 있다. 최근에는 플라스틱 광섬유(POF; plastic optical fiber)에 관한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 지금까지의 광통신에서 상용화되어 사용되고있는 유리 광섬유는 잘 부러지고 그 설치나 연결이 어렵다는 단점 때문에 가정이나 사물실에 설치하기에는 많은 어려움이 있어왔다.

We propose a systematic method for design of fiber-optic surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors. We used rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA) for analysis of the transmission spectrum, and the (1+1) evolution strategy (ES) was employed as an optimization tool. The simulation results show that the optimization method presented here is very useful in designing fiber-optic SPR sensor for strain and temperature measurement. This algorithm can be extended to another objective function with other weighting factors and optical parameters.

A simple water level measurement method based on wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) is proposed and demonstrated. The measurement principle is based on the change of Fresnel reflection occurring at the end facet of the optical fiber tip (OFT). To increase the spatial resolution of water level sensing, a broadband light source (BLS) and an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) are employed. The OFTs are multiplexed with the dedicated wavelength channels of AWG. By measuring all of the reflection powers reflected at the OFTs with a proposed on-site reflectometer, the water level can be monitored continuously for a fast emergency response. Moreover, it can be implemented easily with the commercially available optical components and devices with the simple configuration.

An optical fiber displacement sensor has the advantages of relatively simplicity, cheap, small probe size and immunity against environmental perturbation. The working principle of the sensor is based on the intensity modulation that is detection light intensity reflecting from the surface being measured. This paper presents the mathematical model of displacement measurement mechanism of this sensor type. The theoretical and experimental data are compared to verify the model in describing the realistic approach to sensor design. Finally, the analysis results show that displacement response characteristics such as sensitivity, measuring range are easily modified by principal design parameters such as magnitude of optical Power, diameter of optical fiber core and distance between transmitting fiber and receiving fiber.

The automatic assembly system of micro optical filter is a key technology in the development of optical modules with high functionality. In order to develop an automatic assembly system of optical fiber and filter, we have firstly developed the system and program capable of characterization of 30${\mu}m$-thick film filters as well as conventional optical filters. Moreover, we have carried out the characterization of optical filter using the developed system and program, and compared experimental results with by conventional handwork. The measurement of optical filters using the present system is faster, more precise and more reliable than those based on the conventional handwork.

In this paper, high speed fiber optic sensor weigh-in motion (WIM) system is proposed. Bragg gratings which have several advantages such as good reproducibility and good multiplicity compare to other optical fiber sensors are used for the system. Fabry-Perot filter for the signal process, which cannot be used in the high speed measurement because of the limitation in fast operation of PZT, is excluded. A new signal processing system which employs bandwidth filter is proposed and bridge type new sensor package design is also proposed. Design of the mold supporter is modified to round shape and then supporting points do not change. The data from the fiber sensors show identical and linear behavior to the axle weight. The proposed fiber optic WIM system is tested in the laboratory and experimented with actual trucks. The new concept of calibration is introduced and calculated by the experiments. The calibrated weight data show good approximations to real axial weights regardless the velocities of the truck.
