The transmission characteristics of multiply cascaded phase-shifted long-period fiber gratings (LPFGs) will be investigated theoretically and experimentally. Their passband can be changed by increasing the number of ${\pi}$ -shifted LPFGs. When two ${\pi}$ -shifted LPFGs with different grating lengths are cascaded in series, the bandwidth of the rejection band and passband can be controlled by the pristine characteristics of two gratings.

We have developed novel optical-fiber sensors based on strain-induced long-period fiber gratings for monitoring the deformation of a hull. They have no external pressure for sustaining the mechanical formed gratings. The pressure, which provides a force to form the periodic grating along the single mode fiber, was realized by the bonding strength of a photopolymer. To reduce the polarization dependency of the sensors caused by the asymmetry structure of gratings, a Faraday Rotator Mirror (FRM) was utilized in this experiment. We have realized the polarization-insensitive function of the proposed sensors. The change of an external strain are measured by an optical spectrum analyzer. When the external stain increases. the attenuation at the resonant wavelength decreases and the loss peak was slightly shifted to the shorter wavelength.

We present a pressure sensor based on the mechanically induced long-period fiber gratings (LPFG) for detecting the multi-location strain variation. The theoretical analysis is performed using a graphic method for a weakly guiding step-index fiber. The calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental results. In this study, from the fact that the optical parameters of a single-mode fiber slightly differ from manufacturing company to manufacturing company, the multipoint pressure-detection sensor systems composed two identical LPFGs are realized. When the pressure is applied two LPFG sensors at once, the resonance peaks are separated as much as about 40 nm. These types of sensor systems are well suited as a multipoint monitoring of strain or temperature in the ship or the smart structure.

본 연구에서는 PR 폴리머 장주기 패턴을 이용하여 표면 식각된 격자 구조 기반 장주기 광섬유 격자 제조 방법을 제안하고 외부 장력 및 비틀림, 그리고 외부 굴절률에 대한 민감도를 측정하였다. 외부 장력을 인가함에 따라 특정파장에서 광결합 계수 변화에 의한 공진파장이 형성되고 투과도가 감소하게 된다. 손실이 생기게 되고 민감도는 $-0.033\;dB/\mu\varepsilon$로 측정되었다. 비틀림과 외부 굴절률에 변화에 대해서도 표면 식각된 격자 구조 기반 장주기 광섬유 격자의 투과 특성이 변하며 민감도는 각각 -1.30 nm m/rad, -31.33 nm/RIU로 측정되었다.

We propose a tunable flat-top bandpass filter to pass light in a customized wavelength band by using long-period fiber gratings (LPFG) structure. The LPFG structure is composed of a core mode blocker in between two LPFGs. The bandpass spectrum of the proposed structure is obtained in overlapped wavelength band of two LPFGs operating on the same modes. To analyze the properties, we introduce a mathematical matrix model for the structure. We theoretically demonstrate flexibility of the flat-top bandpass filter with various bandwidths.

압력이 인가되는 지점에만 장주기 광섬유 격자가 형성되는 광섬유 소자를 제작하였고, 제작된 소자의 특성을 조사하였다. 제작된 소자는 $720\;{\mu}m$ 주기의 격자가 윗면에 형성되어 있는 60 cm 길이의 금속막대와 고무덮개로 구성되어 있으며, 압력이 인가될 때에 압력이 인가된 지점에만 장주기 광섬유 격자가 형성되었고 인가된 지점에 관계없이 동일한 투과특성을 가지는 장주기 광섬유 격자들이 형성되었다. 그리고 제작된 소자의 특성측정을 통하여 무게를 측정할 수 있는 광섬유 로드(Load)센서로 사용 가능함을 보여 주었다.

위상 천이 광섬유 격자를 직렬로 연결하였을 경우 파장 투과 특성에 대해서 이론 및 실험적으로 분석하였다. $\pi$만큼의 위상 천이가 유도된 장주기 격자의 파장 투과 특성은 직렬 연결되는 위상 천이 장주기 격자의 개수에 따라 변화하며 개수를 증가시킴에 따라 파장 투과 대역폭을 증가시킬 수 있다. 또한 $\pi$-위상 천이 장주기 격자의 파장 투과 대역폭은 격자 길이를 변화시킴에 따라 조절할 수 있으며 길이가 다른 두 개의 $\pi$-위상 천이 장주기 격자를 직렬로 연결하면 파장 투과 및 제거 대역폭을 조절할 수 있다 그리고 장주기 격자의 반을 UV에 노출 시켰을 때, 위상 천이 장주기 격자가 형성됨을 관찰하였고, 초기 커플링 세기에 따라 격자의 형성이 달라짐과 인가되는 인상 천이 크기에 따라서 다양한 형태의 위상 천이 장주기 광섬유 격자의 투과 특성을 나타내었다.

Transmission characteristics of long-period fiber gratings (LPFGs) fabricated by periodically etching a conventional single-mode fiber (SMF) are investigated. After coating the SMF with photoresist, the cladding of the SMF is symmetrically and periodically removed by using a wet etching technique resulting in the formation of the LPFG. Tensile strain reinforces the coupling strength between the core and the cladding mode based on the photoelastic effect. The extinction ratio of the SMF-based LPFG at a wavelength of 1550.8 nm is measured to be -15.1 dB when the applied strain is $600{\mu}{\varepsilon}$. The ascent of ambient index shifts the resonant wavelength to shorter wavelength because of the increase of the effective refractive index of the cladding mode. The extinction ratio is diminished by increase in the ambient index because of the induction of the optical attenuation of the cladding mode. The transmission characteristics of the proposed LPFG with variations in torsion are also measured. The photoelastic effect based on torsion changes the extinction ratio and the resonant wavelength of the proposed SMF-based LPFG. The polarization-dependent loss of the LPFG is also increased by torsion because of the torsion-induced birefringence. The polarization-dependent loss of the LPFG at torsion of 8.5 rad/m is measured to be 3.9 dB.

In this paper we fabricated a fiber device composed of cascaded long-period fiber gratings between which a birefringent erbium-doped fiber was inserted and proposed its application as a polarization-controlled interleaved signal gating fiber device. Because the core and cladding modes of the fabricated fiber device have polarization-dependent phase difference due to the birefringence of the erbium-doped fiber, its interference spectrum can be modulated by varying the input polarization.
