다중모드 경사굴절률 플라스틱 광섬유는 경사굴절률을 생성하기 위하여 첨가하는 미세입자, 불균일한 경사굴절률의 분포, 다른 모드 사이의 광학적인 간섭 등으로 인하여 스펙클 잡음이 크기 때문에, 광섬유 출력 단에서 방사되는 기하학적 광 세기 분포를 분석하여 측정하는 기존의 일반적인 수치구경 측정 방법으로는 수치구경 측정이 매우 어려운 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 다중모드 경사굴절률 플라스틱 광섬유의 수치구경 측정을 위하여 입사 단에서 입사 광의 크기를 조절하여 수치구경을 구하는 새로운 방법을 제안하고, 이를 이용하여 플라스틱 광섬유의 수치구경을 측정하였다. 측정 결과, 기존의 방법으로 측정한 플라스틱 광섬유의 수치구경 값과 비교적 잘 일치함을 확인할 수 있었으며, 제안한 기법이 출력 단에서 방사되는 광세기 분포의 모호함을 배제할 수 있고 입력광의 입사 조건 및 광섬유 결합 효율을 최적화할 수 있는 장점이 있음을 알 수 있었다.

This study suggests a suitable logo design application of a three colors LED light source and flexible plastic optical fiber (POF). In this study, characteristic relevant brightness of (according to the embodiment conditions of the flexible POF for logo design) for smart clothing were analyzed through two experiments. The suitable conditions of the logo design for three colors of light source were observed in 'Experiment 1'. The angle of $80^{\circ}$ to $100^{\circ}$ and the length of 8cm to 16cm appeared a more suitable condition for green-colored and red-colored light sources. The angle of $80^{\circ}$ to $100^{\circ}$ at a length of 8cm to 12cm appeared a more suitable condition for a blue-colored light source. In 'Experiment 2', a 'Klavika' in small letter was selected as suitable logo design for the application POF. The alphabet was separated by a morpheme, which is the minimal linguistic unit. All alphabets were classified into sixteen morphemes. The luminance of fourteen morphemes (realized by the embroidery method) were measured and analyzed. Subsequently, eight morphemes appeared to show a relatively equal luminance of $3-4cd/m^2$ in a green-colored light source, $2-3cd/m^2$ in red-colored light source, and $2cd/m^2$ in a blue-colored light source. Four of the fourteen morphemes, showed a 20% brighter level of luminance compared to the eight morphemes above, the cast of combination of green or red light source. This result indicates that a flexible POF with 20% less luminance are believed more suitable for four morphemes combined with a green or red light source. The results of this study provide fundamental data for further approaches to clothing logo design for the application of a flexible POF.

최근 플라스틱 광섬유(Plastic Optical Fiber, POF)가 홈 네트워크(Home Network) 및 LAN(Local Area Network)의 새로운 통신채널로 등장하였다. 특히 PMMA 계에 기반을 둔 언덕형 굴절률 분포 플라스틱 광섬유(Graded Index Plastic Optical Feiber)는 500nm와 650nm 근처에서 아주 적은 손실을 가지므로 이 파장영역에서의 광원으로서 극초단 광펄스 생성이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 650nm InGaAIP FP(fabry perot) LD와 간단한 RF(radio frequency)소자들을 이용한 회로를 구성하고 이득스위칭 기술을 사용하여 1GHz의 펄스 반복율을 가지고 33.3psec 정도의 짧은 반치선폭(FWHM)을 가지는 광펄스를 생성시키는데 성공하였다. 이득스위칭 된 광펄스는 주입되는 직류전류(DC bias current)와 변조되는 주파에 따라 반치선폭은 33.3-82.8 psec, 펄스 에너지는 0.97-9.69pJ의 값을 얻었다. 또한 CW 발진과 이득스위칭 된 광펄스의 스펙트럼 폭은 각각 0.44nm, 150nm로 됨을 측정하였다. 이러한 결과를 가지는 연속적인 광펄스는 직류전류와 VCO에 의한 변조주파수의 적절한 선택에 따라 초고속 근거리 광통신분야 뿐만 아니라 여러 가지 초고속 광소자 및 전자소자의 특성평가 등에 응용될수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

In this study plastic optical fibers (POFs) were considered as light-transmitting media and substrates for the potential use in photocatalytic environmental purification system. After the characteristics of POFs in terms of light transmittance and absorption were determined at the beginning, the further investigation was performed through the photocatalytic degradation of trichloroethylene (TCE), iso-propanol and etc. with TiO$_2$-coated optical fiber reactor systems (POFR). It is concluded that the use of POFs is preferred to quartz optical fibers (QOFs) since the advantages such as ease of handling, lower cost, relatively reasonable light attenuation at the wavelength of near 400nm can be obtained. Various geometrical reactor shapes have been constructed and applied for the last one and half years. For the use of POF in water phase treatment, however, more detailed scientific and engineering aspects should be envisaged. This case requires a suitable mixture to obtain more stable and innocuous immobilization of photocatalyst on POF. To overcome this disadvantage, metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) was conducted in a fluidized bed to deposit thin films of titania on glass and alumina beads. Those can be used as photocatalysis for the removal of pollutants especially in liquid phases.

대표적인 고내열 POF(plastic optical fiber)의 재료로 사용되는 MMA(methyl methacrylate)/IPMI(N-isopropyl maleimide) 공중합체는 단량체 간의 반응성이 매우 차이가 나므로 $(r_1/r_2=1.72:0.17)$, 중합체의 조성분포가 불균일하게 되어 물성을 저하시키는 원인으로 작용한다. 본 논문에서는 MMA/IPMI 공중합에 스티렌을 도입하여, IPMI의 반응성을 증가시켜 중합체의 조성 분포를 좀 더 균일하게 개선하였으며, 전환율도 약 $1.5{\sim}2$배 정도로 증가시키는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 합성된 MMA/IPMI/St 삼원공중합체의 경우 굴절률은 MMA/IPMI 공중합체보다 증가하였으며 이는 주로 스티렌의 함량과 관련되는 것으로 나타났다.

Rapid growth of digitalization in telecommunication and broadcasting and remarkable enhancement in broadband and high speed transmission capability of media raised a problem of integrating communication and broadcasting. In order to implement this, the government has selected construction of Broadband Convergence Network (BcN) as a main new growth engine of the country. The BcN will be realized based on FTTH and Broadband Home Network (BHN) will be implemented through this solution. Transfer rate and bandwidth required for the BcN to be constructed aiming at integration of communication and broadcasting will be specified and the performance of basic transmission media, the plastic optical fiber, will be discussed in order to present its appropriateness.

For an arc-flash protection system, the selection of arc-flash sensor in implementation is largely dependent on the coverage area and the spatial resolution. Typically, a point sensor is used to accurately measure an arc event within a very narrow region; whereas, a loop or a line sensor can cover several electrical compartment at the same time, but with a poor resolution. In this work, a novel scheme for an arc-flash sensor was developed by making use of the transmission loss of plastic optical fibers (POFs) to cover a broad range with a high spatial resolution. By relating the amplitude ratio of the arc-signals at the ends of the POF with the arc-location, arc events could be located with a resolution of ~5 cm within a spatial range of 10 m, which has not been reported yet.

In this study, we developed a fiber-optic goniometer for the continuous measurement of knee joint angle which provides important medical information on Alzheimer's disease. The fiber-optic goniometer is composed of a light-emitting diode (LED), a plastic optical fiber (POF), and a voltage output photodiode (PD). As a sensing part of the fiber-optic goniometer, a unclad fiber with regular intervals of 1 mm was fabricated to improve efficiency of bending loss according to the angle variation of knee joint. The emitting light with a center wavelength of 470 nm from a LED is guided by a POF to the PD, the transmitted light is then attenuated by the bending loss inside the bent POF. The intensity variation of the light transmitted from the POF gives rise to a change in output voltage in the fiber-optic goniometer. Therefore, we measured the real-time output voltage of the proposed fiber-optic goniometer using the unclad fiber according to the knee joint angle. Through the repeated experiments, the fiber-optic goniometer shows that it has a reversibility and a wide measurable angle range.
