In long-period fiber grating (LPFG) to be made up optical fiber sensors, resonance coupling occurs between the forward-propagating core mode and cladding modes at the wavelength that satisfy the Phase matching condition. The resonance wavelength and the coupling strength depends strongly on the external environment like temperature, strain, and ambient index. These characteristics can be utilized for various applications as optical fiber sensors. fabrication of optical fiber gratings is typically based on the photosensitivity effect, i.e. the permanent change of the refractive index upon irradiation of the UV beam, and therefore, fabrication of the optical fiber with high phososensitivity is an important part of the research on optical fiber gratings. In this work, we measured the effort of to-doping of boron on the index difference between the core and cladding of the optical fiber and the sensitivity of the LPFC to the temperature and bending changes. We observed that the index difference between the core and the cladding decreased by $(1.69{\times}10^{-4}/SCCM)$ and the temperature sensitivity of the resonance wavelength shirt decreased by $(0.01145nm/^{\circ}C/SCCM)$. The dependence or the bending-induced changes or the transmission characteristics of LPFG on the tore-cladding index difference was investigated experimentally. The measurement results indicate that the bending sensitivity increases as the index difference decreases.

The transmission spectra, the wavelength tunability. and the polarization characteristics of mechanically induced long-period fiber gratings (LPFG's) are investigated experimentally and analyzed theoretically. The transmission and mode coupling characteristics of the fabricated LPFG's agree well with the theoretical results. The resonant wavelengths at which the mode coupling occurs can be tuned over 180 nm and the peak wavelengths for of oethogonally polarized lights are split by -9 nm.

Bragg reflecting waveguide devices have been fabricated on a flexible polymer substrate utilizing a post lift-off process which could Provide excellent uniformity of grating Patterns on Plastic film. The 510 m Period Bragg grating pattern is made by two methods. In the first sample the grating is fabricated by exposing the laser interference pattern on a photoresist, and then it is inscribed by $O_2$ plasma etching. The grating pattern of the second sample is formed by a PDMS soft mold imprinting process. The selective adhesion property of SU-8 material for Au and Si surfaces is utilized to prepare a 100-mm thick plastic substrate. Single mode waveguide is fabricated on the plastic substrate using polymer materials with refractive indices of 1.540 and 1.430 for the core and the cladding layers, respectively. The Bragg grating on Plastic substrate does not show any degradation in its spectral response compared to the reference sample made on a silicon wafer.

The keto-enol tautomeric equilibrium constant, K, of ethyl acetoacetate in compressed and supercritical carbon dioxide was determined by using FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared) spectroscopy at three different temperatures. In order to investigate the effect of solvent density, the $CO_{2}$ pressure was systematically changed at a constant temperature. As the $CO_{2}$ density is increased, the amount of keto tautomer is increased, causing the K value to decrease. The modified lattice fluid hydrogen bonding theory has been applied to investigate the effect of density on the K.

This paper describes the algorithm of computing thermal contact conductance between unmatched grid interfaces for finite element thermal analysis. Because grid interfaces should be coincident with adjacent meshes for finite element method, large amount of man hours and huge computations are required to match interfaces between many numbers of complex subdomains. A novel method that distributes feasibly the conductances to interface nodes is proposed. The aims of the method are described, and details of the nodal conductance distribution algorithm with less dependency on meshes are represented. The algorithm can be applied both the flat and curved interfaces in 3 dimensional space, and proposed method can combined with many finite element application including thermal analysis.

We have studied the effects of interface on polarization dependence of waveguide and designed the polarization independent 2-dimensional waveguides on InP for arrayed waveguide grating. To figure out the effects of interface on polarization dependence, we have solved the 1-dimensional wave equation using a transfer matrix method. It is shown that the birefringence becomes stronger as the number of interfaces increases. In order to design polarization independent 2-dimensional waveguides, we have used effective index method. The structures considered are ridge type, raised strip type, and buried type waveguide. In the cases of ridge and raised strip type, conventional effective index method was used. In the case of buried type corrected effective index method was used. We have determined the height and width of waveguides such that the waveguides become polarization independent.

We desinged a lattice-matched InGaAs/lnGaAsP quantum well laser that lases at $1.55{\mu}m$ at room temperature, and calculated the gain spectrum as a function of injected carrier density and temperature. For the calculation of band structures and momentum matrix elements, we used a transfer JIlatrix method based on a block-diagonalized 8x8 second-order Ii$.$ P Hamiltonian. This lattice-matched quantum well lases in transverse electric mode. As the temperature increases, the lasing wavelength gets longer, the transparency carrier density increases, and the differential gain is reduced. The temperature dependence of the gain spectrum comes from the temperature dependence of the band structure and that of the Fermi function, and the latter contributes dominantly.nantly.

Longitudinal transmission-line modal theory is applied to analyze the guiding mode characteristics along 1D & 2D grating patterns of plasmonic grating-assisted directional couplers (P-GADC) based on silicon waveguide. By defining supermodes amenable to rigorous analytical solutions and interference between even and odd modes, the field distributions of TE modes for each grating patterns are evaluated. The numerical result reveals that the field distribution with maximum coupling efficiency occurs at P-GADC composed by square grating pattern. That is, it reveals at a minium gap condition of grating period $d_{min}=8.8{\mu}m$ different from conventional phase-matching condition of GADC.

In this paper, a low-cost optical temperature sensor is implemented, using a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) as the temperature probe and a low-cost VCSEL with temperature-dependent output wavelength as the light source. To analyze the wavelength of the reflected light from the FBG, an interrogation was applied using a method of referring to the internal temperature according to the output wavelength of the VCSEL. When the temperature of the VCSEL was adjusted from 14 to $52.2^{\circ}C$, the output wavelength varied from 1519.90 to 1524.25 nm. The degree of wavelength tuning according to temperature was $0.114nm/^{\circ}C$. The variable wavelength repeatability error according to temperature was ${\pm}0.003nm$, and the temperature measurement error was ${\pm}0.18^{\circ}C$. As a result of measuring the temperatures from 22.3 to $194.2^{\circ}C$, the value of the internal temperature change of the light source according to the applied temperature ${\Delta}T$ was $0.146^{\circ}C/{\Delta}T$, the change in reflected wavelength of the temperature probe according to applied temperature ${\Delta}T$ was measured at $16.64pm/^{\circ}C$. and the temperature measurement error of the sensor was ${\pm}1^{\circ}C$.
