초록

일반 광섬유에 아크 방전을 인가하여 코어 및 클래딩의 직경 변화를 발생시켜 장주기 격자를 제작하는 방법이 소개되었다. 본 연구에서는 매우 약한 아크를 반복적으로 발생시켜 광섬유에 매우 약한 변형을 수 차례 주어 광섬유 격자 직경을 정밀하게 조절 할 수있는 방법을 사용한 중첩 장주기 광섬유 격자 제조 방법을 제안하였다. 또한 위상정합 조건을 이용하여 장주기 광섬유 격자의 직경 변화에 따른 공진 파장의 변화를 이론적으로 유도하였으며, 실험을 통해 확인하였다. 또한 실험 결과 아크 유도 광섬유 격자의 주기와 공진 파장과의 관계가 위상 정합 조건과 일치하는 것을 확인하였으며, 온도 변화에 따른 공진 파장의 변화를 측정하고 기계적 강도를 측정하였다.

A fabrication method of long--period fiber gratings (LPFGs) that can be easily controlled resonance wavelength and losses is introduced. We used the superposition method that core and cladding diameter are modulated by applying a number of small electric-arc to the normal fiber. We derived an equation of resonance wavelength change according to core diameter variation using the phase matching condition and showed the results are well matched with experiments. The measured resonant wavelengths of arc-induced superposition LPFGs according to grating period are well coincident with that of phase matching condition. The resonance wavelength is measured for the temperature changes and a slight mechanical strength degradation of arc-induced LPFGs is observed by increasing arc times.
