광섬유고리에 편광제어를 통해 여러 광경로들에 대해서 손실을 조정함으로써 손실이 작은 광경로에서 발진하게 함으로써 발진 파장을 가변시킬 수 있는 편광제어 파장가변 고리형 광섬유레이저를 구현하였다. 내부 공진편광기를 사용하여 1㎚의 종모드간격으로 발진을 일으킬 수 있었고 편광제어기 및 내부공진편광기를 조절해서 1540㎚에서 1560㎚의 범위에서 파장가변을 시킬 수 있었다. 또한 실험적으로 나타난 발진특성을 광경로와 복굴절손실의 개념을 사용하여 발진출력 특성을 분석함으로써 발진파장을 가변시키는 메카니즘을 추정해 보았다. 여기서 복굴절손실이 같은 광경로들의 종모드들 사이에 보강간섭이 일어나 발진파장을 변화시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Wavelength tunable fiber ring laser can be tuned by causing a resonance on the optical path having the least loss which is controlled by a polarization adjustment. It is observed that lasing wavelengths having 1 nm FSR(Free Spectral Range) can be tuned over the range of 1540-1560 nm when a polarization controller and an intra-cavit polarizer with 1.5 mm air gap are adjusted. The characteristics of wavelength shift in the laser output are analyzed by introducing an optical path modeling and the concept of a birefringence loss.

Wavelength tunable fiber ring laser can be tuned by causing a resonance on the optical path having the least loss which is controlled by a polarization adjustment. It is observed that lasing wavelengths having 1 nm FSR(Free Spectral Range) can be tuned over the range of 1540~1560 nm when a polarization controller and an intra-cavity polarizer are adjusted. The tuning mechanism can be expected by analyzing the characteristics of the laser output using an optical path model and the concept of a birefringence loss. It is found that the constructive interference between longitudinal modes of different optical paths may cause wavelength tuning in the fiber ring laser.

Thermal distortion of the laser mirrors which are the Coude mirrors of the laser beam director and the wavefront error caused by the thermal distortion are studied. Coude mirrors consist of three relay mirrors and one fast steering mirror. The mirrors have reflectivity of 99.5% with respect to the laser wavelength of $3.8\;{\mu}m$, and absorption of 500 W per second. Thermal distortion and its related wavefront errors are studied with laser beam irradiation for 5 seconds. For the relay mirror, the wavefront error is 334 nm_PV, 98 nm rms and for fast steering mirror, $11.5\;{\mu}m$_PV, $3{\mu}m$ rms.

In this study, air density in a narrow test section is measured using a laser absorption spectroscopy system that detects oxygen absorption lines. An absorption line pair at 13156.28 and 13156.62 cm^-1 are detected. A gas chamber with a height of 40 mm is used as a narrow test section. A triangular spiral-shaped laser path is applied in the gas chamber to amplify absorption strength by extending laser beam path length. A well-known logarithm amplifier and a secondary amplifier are used to electrically amplify absorption signal. An AC-coupling is applied after the logarithm amplifier for signal saturation prevention and noise suppression. Procedure of calculating spectral absorbance from output signal is introduced considering the logarithm amplifier circuit configuration. Air density is determined by fitting the theoretically calculated spectral absorbance to the measured spectral absorbance. Test conditions with room temperature and a pressure range of 10~100 kPa are made in a gas chamber using a Bourdon pressure gauge. It is confirmed that air density in a narrow test section can be measured within a 16 % error through absorption signal amplification using a triangular spiral-shaped beam path and a logarithm amplifier.

폴리머는 20세기 중반부터 그 사용량이 급격히 늘어나고 있고 또한 사용범위도 매우 광범위해진 중요한 재료이다. 석유화학공업의 발달과 더불어 초기의 고분자공업은 범용수지의 생산에 주로 의존하였으나 최근에는 용도가 다양해지고 기능화 되면서 소량, 고가의 기능성 고분자재료들이 많이 나타나고 있다.(중략)

In this paper, we present the requirements specification to develop the small ring laser gyroscope(RLG) which is applicable to the medium-grade inertial navigation system(INS) widely used as a main navigation system. To this end, first we analyse the performance specifications of RLG which is needed to configure the medium-grade INS and then we present the design results of RLG to meet the performance specifications, based on the overseas technology survey and the theoretical analysis. It is also shown in this paper what technology is required to develop a small RLG.
