By tilting the reference mirror of Twynman-Green interferometer having a reference mirror and a moving mirror, firinge pattern composed of bright and dark parallel lines can be obtained and the fringe pattern is shifted according to the displacement of the mowing mirror. Several studies are executed for displacement measurement by detecting the intensity of the fringe with photo-diodes having small detecting area. In this study, to improve the sensitivity and robustness, the intensity of fringe is detected by using a large-area quadratic photo-diode masked with a grating panel having four kinds of binary grating having phase-difference of 0, {\pi}$/4, {\pi}$/2, 3 {\pi}$/4. The phase of the fringe is calculated with a simple 4-buckets algorithm. A experimental result shows that standard deviation of 5.653 nm is obtained comparing with a capacitive type gap sensor having nearly 1 nm accuracy.

We fabricated fiber bragg gratings using interferometric method with Phase mask. The interferometer consisted of two plane-parallel mirrors and a phase mask perpendicular to mirrors. The Gratings were written using an Argon-ion laser. The experimental setup could change Bragg wavelength given by the phase mask. (omitted)

본 논문에서는 광섬유 장주기 격자쌍과 두 장주기 격자 사이에 삽입된 어븀 첨가 광섬유를 이용하며, 광섬유 브래그 격자 센서 헤드에 가해지는 동적 스트레인을 측정하기 위한 새로운 고분해능 파장 측정 시스템을 제안하였다. 제안된 측정 시스템에 대한 실험을 통해 제안된 시스템이 기존의 비대칭 마하 젠더 간섭계를 이용한 파장 측정 시스템에 비하여 훨씬 높은 분해능을 갖고, 외부 온도 변화에 대한 변동 또한 훨씬 적어진 것을 보였다.

We have implemented a sensor head which consists of erbium doped fiber pumped by 1480 nm LD and single fiber Bragg grating for simultaneous measurement of strain and temperature. The measurement precision and speed are improved by using Mach-Zehnder interferometer instead of optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) as a demodulator. The measurement precision of temperature measured by the amplitude variation of output signal is 0.05$^{\circ}C$ and that of strain measured by the phase variation of output signal is 0.1$\mu$strain. The measurement precision of temperature and strain are improved nearly 140 times and 700 times, respectively, compared to those using an OSA with wavelength resolution of 0.97 nm as d demodulator.

Grating interferometry based imaging technology is a kind of radiation imaging system, which can acquire not only absorption image but also phase difference and dark field image using the Talbot pattern. However, because of the technological difficulties and high cost of fabricating the gratings that make up the system, much efforts are being made to look for ways to replace them. The is a preliminary study to see how the Talbot pattern transfer through various kinds of scintillators and if the optical grating can be a way to replace the conventional absorption gratings. The geometry of the interferometer, the scintillator model, and the scintillator thickness are the main inputs for our simulation. We have used the concept of modulation for quantitative analysis of the contrast ratio of the Talbot pattern. This research is expected to provide very useful information on the design of optical gratings, which is an alternative way to analyze the Talbot pattern, which we have filed a patent on.

We fabricated a sensor head which consists of spliced different-diameter fiber gratings for discrimination between strain and temperature. Because the fibers were drawn from the same preform, their temperature characteristics were the same but not for strain sensitivities which are inversely proportional to fibers cross-sectional areas. In measurement range of 0-1500$\mu$strain and 20-10$0^{\circ}C$, we could obtain, by using the matrix calculation, the unknown physical quantities within 10% of calculation error compared with the micrometer and thermocouple values. To improve the strain measurement accuracy, we suggest a new, novel method which deploys an unbalanced fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer. This new signal processing technique converts the strain information to interference signal amplitude variation, temperature-independently. we obtained measurement accuracy nearly 80 times better than that obtainable with the conventional optical spectrum analyzer usage.

WDM(wavelength-division multiplexing) 광통신 네트웍을 이루는 핵심기술중의 하나는 ADF(Add-drop Filter)의 구현에 있다. 광섬유격자와 여러형태의 구조를 이용한 ADF들 중에서도 비대칭 결합기와 광섬유 격자를 이용한 구조는, 간섭계 구조가 아니기 때문에 제작이 용이하고 보다 안정된 특성을 보일 것으로 기대되어 많은 관심을 갖게 하고 있다$^{(1)}$ . 비대칭 결합기 구조의 경우, 두 광도파로의 코어반경이나 굴절율 분포가 서로 다르기 때문에, 일반적으로 광파의 결합이 일어나지 않는다. 그러나 브래그 격자의 반사조건을 만족하는 파장성분의 경우 입력단(input port)에서 드롭단(drop port)으로 반사되어 나오고, 그 외의 파장성분은 출력단(Output port)으로 나오게 되어 드롭 기능을 수행하게 된다. 비슷한 원리로 add port에서 출력단으로의 add 기능도 수행된다. 본 논문에서는 연산자 분리 시영역 모델$^{(2)}$ 을 이용하여 비대칭구조에서의 파장응답 특성을 해석하였다. 또한 최적화를 위한 조건을 알아 보고, 소자 설계에 필요한 파라미터를 정의하여 최적설계에 필요한 파라미터를 구하였다.
