광섬유 브래그 격자를 이용한 고정밀도 센서 시스템은 불균형(unbalanced) 마하 젠더 간섭계를 이용한 interrogation 기법을 많이 사용하고 있다. 그러나 간섭성을 이용한 interrogation 기법은 작은 온도 변화, 진동과 같은 외부 환경 변화에 매우 민감하다 이 논문은 불균형 마하 젠더 간섭계 대신 편광 유지 광섬유 (polarization maintaining fiber , PMF) 루프 미러(loop mirror)를 이용한 interrogation 시스템을 구현하였다. (중략)

In this paper, the characteristics of a humidity sensor implemented by Mach Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) in a Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) have been designed and demonstrated. The humidity outside is detected with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) coated on the etched arm of the MZI. The length of the etched arm is 10 mm and the PVP was coated by dip-coating into the etched region. As the refractive index of the PVP changes with the surrounding humidity, the PVP-coated humidity sensor presented changes in the interferogram depending on RH (Relative Humidity) around the PLC. The measured results show that the proposed humidity sensor works successfully in the range of 30% to 80% of RH.

For the intruder detection, a buried fiber-optic sensor based on fiber-optic Mach-Zehnder interferometer is demonstrated. We buried the sensor arm in a styrene board and exerted pressure on it. The pressure-induced deformation speed has almost linear relationship with the output frequencies of the interference signals, and about 4.25 Hz frequency change per 0.01m/s was obtained. Also it has been shown that the amplitude of frequency component increases according to the weight of mass.

A wavelength-demodulation algorithm for FBG sensor is proposed by using a double-pass Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Zero-crossing points of double-passed interference signal are used to trigger the accurate $90^{\circ}C$ phase difference positions in the sensor signal, which is an essential condition in the subsequent arctangent and phase unwrapping signal processing. With the proposed method, we could efficiently measure various measurands, such as dynamic-, static-strain, and temperature, and ${\sim}8pm$ of wavelength resolution was obtained.

파장분할다중(WDM) 광통신시스템에서 광원의 파장을 정확하게 측정하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 지금까지 광파장측정기는 격자나 Fabry-Perot 에탈론을 사용한 광대역 필터(optical bandpass filter) 및 파장에 따라 삽입손실이 다른 파장판별기(wavelength discriminator)등으로 구현되었지만 빛의 간섭 현상을 이용한 마이켈슨 간섭계가 가장 많이 사용되었다. 특히 푸리에 변환 마이켈슨 간섭계 파장측정기$^{(1)}$ 는 동시에 각각 다른 파장의 광원들이 입사되더라도 각각의 파장을 측정할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 즉 마이켈슨 간섭계에서 주기적인 간섭무늬에 의한 광검출기의 출력은 입력된 광파장에 따라 다른 주기를 가진다. 따라서 서로 다른 파장을 가진 빛이 입사했을 때 검출되는 각각의 광전력의 합을 표본화(sampling)한 뒤 FFT를 거치면 광파장과 광검출기로 수신한 신호의 중심 주파수의 관계를 알 수 있으므로, 서로 다른 파장을 가진 빛이 입사하더라도 각각의 파장을 측정할 수 있는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 푸리에 변환을 이용하되 마이켈슨 간섭계 대신 마하젠더 간섭계형 광변조기를 이용하여 광파장을 측정에 관한 실험적 구현과 개선 방안에 대해 제시한다.

In this paper, an incoherent holographic 3D imaging and display system based on the modified triangular and Mach-Zehnder interferometers is optically implemented and some experiments are carried out. Incoherent hologram of a 3D object is generated by using the hologram input system of modified triangular interferometer. Then this complex hologram is reconstructed by using the hologram output system of modified Mach-Zehnder interferometer in which two LCD spatial light modulators and a waveplate are inserted. From the experiment with two point sources having a depth difference of 100 mm each other, it is revealed that each point source can be independently reconstructed at its own focal position from the complex hologram, while both of the bias and conjugate image are simultaneously eliminated at the same time. And in the experiment with the real 3D object of two dices having a depth difference of 30 mm each other, it is also conformed that the bias and conjugate image can be effectively eliminated from the hologram pattern and each 3D dice can be also successfully reconstructed at its own focal position from the complex hologram. These experiment results finally suggest a possibility of implementing a new incoherent holographic 3D imaging and display system using the modified triangular and Mach-Zehender interferometers.

A triplexer based on a silica planar lightwave circuit Mach-Zehnder nterferometer(MZI) is proposed and its characteristics are analyzed through simulations. To separate 1310 nm band and $1480{\sim}1560nm$ band properly, the path length difference of an MZI is set to be the multiple and half of the wavelength 1310 nm and the balance of the directional coupler is optimized in the $1480{\sim}1560nm$ band. The same MZI is additionally cascaded to provide good crosstalk characteristics. The 1490 nm band and 1550 nm band are further separated using additional two stage MZI's. A three-dimensional BPM and transfer matrix method analysis predicts the low crosstalk characteristics and the fabrication-error-tolerance of the proposed triplexer.
