The most sensitive part of the installed optical fiber fable is the optical loss variation of the splicing part according to the environmental changes. This paper presents the details of the experimental results of the external environmental changes on optical loss, such as bending, temperature variation, temperature variation after water osmosis and vibration. Through the bending test of optical fiber, rapid increase of optical loss was measured within the radius of 30mm. The result of optical loss variation within the temperature range of $-30^{\circ}C{\sim}60^{\circ}C$ is less than 0.02dB. It was confirmed that the maximum optical loss increased up to 0.2dB in case of water osmosis within the temperature range of $-40^{\circ}C{\sim}80^{\circ}C$. There is small optical loss variation of 0.01dB under the 1mm vibration test. The experimental results of this paper can be used as the reference data for the design of the optical fiber cable splicing enclosure to protect the optical loss variation due to environmental changes.

We propose the optical CDMA based audio acoustic sensor using optical fiber sensors which can be used in the bottom of the sea. In the proposed network, we analyzed the performance of noise power. Numerical simulations confirm that the performance can be improved by increasing the measuring time of optical sensors compared with using conventional WDMA method.

광전송 시스템의 전송용량은 WDM 기술의 비약적 성장에 의해 테라 bps급으로 증대된 데 비해 LAN 또는 MAN 등을 포함한 광 다중 접속 네트워크에 대한 연구는 비교적 덜 성숙한 실정이다. 광 코드분할 다중접속 (CDMA) 네트워크는 비동기 다중 사용자 시스템에의 응용 가능성과 자체적인 보안성의 제공으로 광 다중 접속 네트워크 구성의 유망한 해결책 중 하나로 관심을 모으고 있다. 현재까지 다양한 광 CDMA 네트워크 구성 방안들이 제안되었으며 이들은 크게 시간영역 또는 주파수영역에서의 부/복호 방식, 인코히어런트 또는 코히어런트 광 신호처리 방식으로 분류되어진다$^{(1)}$ .

In this paper, we design and construct the equipment to manufacture large-diameter optical fiber end caps, which are the core parts of high-power fiber lasers, and we fabricate large-diameter optical fiber end caps using the home-made equipment. This equipment consists of a CO2 laser as a fusion-splice heat source, a precision stage assembly for transferring the position of a large-diameter optical fiber and an end cap, and a vision system used for alignment when the fusion splice is interlocked with the stage assembly. The output of the laser source is interlocked with the stage assembly to control the output, and the equipment is manufactured to align the polarization axis of the large-diameter polarization-maintaining optical fiber with the vision system. Optical fiber end caps were manufactured by laser fusion splicing of a large-diameter polarization-maintaining optical fiber with a clad diameter of 400 ㎛ and an end cap of 10×5×2 ㎣ (W×D×H) using home-made equipment. Signal-light insertion loss, polarization extinction ratio, and beam quality M2 of the fabricated large-diameter optical fiber end caps were measured to be 0.6%, 16.7 dB, and 1.21, respectively.

Recently, fiber optic sensors, which have many advantages are being applied in various fields by replacing conventional electric sensors. To transmit the light signals between an interrogator and a sensor head, optical components such as an optical adaptor and optical jumper cords are generally used. When signals are transmitted using an adaptor, the end surface of each jumper cord is faced together. If alien substances exist on the core surface of an optical fiber, those can cause light transmission loss and signal disappearance. For this reason, non-contact fiber jumper cords are developed to overcome the problems that require continual attention. The light transmission performance of non-contact fiber jumper cords are also evaluated. From the test results, conventional fiber jumper cords are unable to transmit the signals over 2 mm cavity between the ends of both cords. Otherwise, non-contact fiber jumper cords can transmit the signals with stability up to the cavity of 7 mm though they have more transmission loss than the conventional ones. Consequently, non-contact fiber jumper cords that have better signal stability than conventional ones in environments are highly recommended in field applications, especially if they play a role as a cable for signal transmission between fiber optic sensors.
