Abstract

This paper shows a multiplexing technique to maximize the application of a moire-fringe based fiber optic sensor to lots of structure. Especially, a novel fringe-based fiber optic sensor was proposed to overcome the difficulty of multiplexing of a previous moire-fringe-based fiber optic sensor. The novel fringe-based fiber optic sensor is composed of a single reflective fringe and two optical fibers. Therefore, the multiplexing is easily realized because of the simplicity of optic structure inside the sensor. This paper also proposed four models of the multiplexing techniques. The models are based on a wavelength division multiplexing(WDM) technique and a time division multiplexing(TDM) one. Basically, the models would be profitable for a general extrinsic fiber optic sensor such as the fringe-based fiber optic sensor. Finally, the real optic system was manufactured by using the proposed model and successfully examined to prove the feasibility of the model for the application.

본 논문에서는 무아레 광섬유 센서의 활용성을 극대화할 수 있는 다점 측정 기술에 대해 연구하였다. 특히 기존의 무아레 광섬유 센서가 갖는 다점 측정 기술의 한계점을 극복하기 위해 반사형 단일 프린지만을 사용한 신개념의 광섬유 센서를 고안하였으며 이를 통해 다점 측정의 방법을 획기적으로 개선할 수 있게 되었다. 또한 기존의 다점 측정 원리들을 조사하여 이를 바탕으로 본 연구에서 개발한 무아레 광섬유 센서에 적용 가능한 네 개의 다점 측정 모델을 제시하였다. 이 모델은 기본적으로 파장 분할 다점 측정법과 시간 분할 다점 측정법에 기초를 두고 설계 되었으며 특별히 프린지 기반 광섬유 센서와 같이 외적 형태의 광섬유 센서에 적용 가능한 모델로 제안하였다. 최종적으로 제안된 다점 측정 모델들을 실험적으로 검증하기 위해 광학 시스템을 실제로 제작하였고 프린지 광섬유 센서에 적용하여 본 연구에서 제안된 다점 측정법의 기능성을 성공적으로 검증하였다.
