  • 본 논문에서는 측면연마 광섬유 결합기 구조에서 평면 도파로의 상부와 하부 클래딩의 열광학 효과를 이용하여 온도를 측정할 수 있는 편광 무의존 온도 센서를 제안하고 있다. 평면 도파로는 170$\mu\textrm{m}$ 두께의 현미경용 덮게 유리를 적용함으로서 급격한 온도 변화에 대해 도파로의 변형이 발생하지 않고, 비대칭적 평면 도파로 구조로 인한 편광 의존 손실을 최소화하기 시킬 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 제작된 소자의 편광 의존 손실은 0.3dB 이하로 측정되었다. 피측정체의 온도는 센서의 결합 파장 이동으로부터 계측되어진다. 평면 도파로의 상부와 하부 클래딩의 열광학 계수에 따른 온도 센서의 온도 민감도를 측정하였고, 상ㆍ하부 클래딩의 열광학 계수 변화로 온도 민감도를 제어할 수 있음을 보였다.

  • Based on the transmission of coupled gap solitons in nonlinear periodic media, we present an all-optical switching scheme which has a novel architecture and principle. The proposed switch with an extremely small switching element can be realized on a semiconductor waveguide. We here investigate the switching performance with a GaAs waveguide in order to give criteria for the experimental realization of the all-optical switching phenomena. We also suggest a variation of an index-matching scheme to solve the technical problem such as the input-energy coupling into a periodic waveguide.

  • 광섬유-평면도파로 결합기의 편광선택성을 이용한 새로운 구조의 광섬유형 편광기를 설계 및 제작하였다. 금속클래드-평면도파로의 높은 복굴절을 이용함으로서 동작 파장범위를 증가시킬 수 있었다. 평면도파로의 코어층으로 폴리머를, 클래딩으로 금(Au)을 각각 사용하였다. 실험결과는 평면도파로의 두께를 조절하여 TE편광 혹은 TM 편광이 만들어 질 수 있음을 보인다. 16㏈ 이상의 편광소멸비를 만족하는 파장범위는 130nm 이상으로 나타났고 삽입손실은 0.5㏈ 정도였다.

  • 단일모드 광섬유와 평면도파로 결합기의 공진파장이 이동하는 현상을 이용한 새로운 형태의 압력센서를 구현하였다. 압력변화에 따른 폴리머 유효굴절률의 변화로 공진파장이 이동함을 관찰할 수 있었고 평면도파로 물질에 따라 센서의 감도를 조절할 수 있었다. 대칭적 구조의 평면도파로를 형성하여 광섬유의 측면연마 공정시 생기는 편광의존성을 제거하였다. 평면도파로 물질로는 AZ4562, AZ1512 그리고 THB-30이 사용되었으며 압력에 의한 공진파장의 이동은 각각 -0.008nm/bar, 0.033nm/bar, 0.16nm/bar로 나타났다.

  • As the refueling of a sodium-cooled fast reactor is conducted by rotating part of the reactor head without opening it, the monitoring of existing obstacles that can disturb the rotation of the reactor head is one of the most important issues. This paper deals with the ultrasonic ranging technique that directly monitors the existence of possible obstacles located in a lateral gap between the upper internal structure and the reactor core in a prototype generation IV sodium-cooled fast reactor (PGSFR). A 10 m long plate-type ultrasonic waveguide sensor, whose feasibility has been successfully demonstrated through preliminary tests, was employed for the ultrasonic ranging technique. The design of the sensor's wave radiating section was modified to improve the radiation performance, and the radiated field was investigated through beam profile measurements. A test facility simulating the lower part of the upper internal structure and the upper part of the reactor core with the same shapes and sizes as those in the PGSFR was newly constructed. Several under-water performance tests were then carried out at room temperature to investigate the applicability of the developed ranging technique using the plate-type ultrasonic waveguide sensor with the actual geometry of the PGSFR's internal structures.

  • 단일모드 광섬유와 평면도파로 결합기의 파장선택성을 이용한 고감도 온도센서를 구현하였다. 폴리머 평면도파로의 높은 열광학 효과에 의하여 결합기의 공진파장이 -3.43㎚/℃ 정도로 매우 민감하게 이동함을 관찰할 수 있었다. 소자의 편광의존성을 줄이고 온도에 대한 감도를 증가시키기 위한 설계 기법을 제시하였다.

  • A sensitive optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy-based immunosensor was developed to detect vitellogenin in seawater flatfish (Paralichthys olivaceus). For this purpose, anion-exchange column chromatography with DE-52 resin was used to purify flatfish vitellogenin from flatfish serum containing vitellogenin that had been induced using an intraperitoneal $17{\beta}$-estradiol injection. The anti-flatfish vitellogenin antibody used as the biological component of the above immunosensor was prepared using the purified flatfish vitellogenin. The change in the incoupling angle according to the complexation between the flatfish vitellogenin and its antibody, immobilized over an optical grating coupler sensor chip, was measured to calculate the sensor response. The immunosensor was quite specific to flatfish vitellogenin binding, based on no sensor response in the case of bovine serum albumin immobilization. When plotted using double-logarithmic scales, the sensor responses increased linearly in flatfish vitellogenin concentrations of 0.00675-67.5 nM, with a detection limit of 0.0675 nM. The reusability during seven repetitive measurements was reasonably fair for the preliminary screening of flatfish vitellogenin.

  • The use of a glass-plate probe of rectangular shape is proposed for the measurement of transmission loss in optical waveguides. The light-collecting window is of a thin, rectangular shape and is perpendicular to the light streak, while the conventional fiberglass probe has a small circular face. This transversely elongated form results in a grate improvement of mechanical tolerance for the probe movement in the vortical as well as in the transverse direction. A theoretical investigation also presents a reasonable agreement with the experiments.

  • Numerical analysis was performed using FIMMWAVE to optimize the specifications of Si3N4/SiO2 slot and ridge-slot optical waveguides based on confinement factor and effective mode area. The optimized specifications were confirmed based on sensitivity in terms of the refractive index of the analyte. The specifications of the slot optical waveguide, i.e., the width of the slot and the width and height of the rails, were optimized to 0.2 ㎛, 0.46 ㎛, and 0.5 ㎛ respectively. When the wavelength was 1.55 ㎛ and the refractive index of the slot was 1.3, the confinement factor and effective mode area of 0.2024 and 2.04 ㎛2, respectively, were obtained based on the optimized specifications. The thickness of the ridge and the refractive index of the slot were set to 0.04 ㎛ and 1.1, respectively, to optimize the ridge-slot optical waveguide, and the confinement factor and effective mode area were calculated as 0.1393 and 2.90 ㎛2, respectively. When the confinement coefficient and detection degree of the two structures were compared in the range of 1 to 1.3 of the analyte index, it was observed that the confinement coefficient and sensitivity were higher in the ridge-slot optical waveguide in the region with a refractive index less than 1.133, but the reverse situation occurred in the other region. Therefore, in the implementation of the integrated optical biochemical sensor, it is possible to propose a selection criterion for the two parameters depending on the value of the refractive index of the analyte.
