We present spectroscopic methods to analyze the structural parameters of tandem Fabry-Perot interferometers. By using laser beams of two different frequencies by several tens of GHz, we investigated the cavity spacings of the two interferometers and ways to measure and to find the limitation of the neccesary conditions between the two interferometers. All of the theoretical results has been also confirmed experimentally.ntally.

간섭계의 광원으로 현재 레이저를 주로 사용하고 있다. 이러한 간섭계용 레이저의 조건은 선폭(linewidth) 이 좁아야 하고, 중심 주파수가 안정화 되어야 한다. 특히 거리용 간섭계의 경우, 주파수 안정화되어 있는 레이저가 사용되어 측정 불확도를 낮춘다. 그러나 점차 다축을 측정하기 위한, 또는 보다 넓은 영역을 측정하기 위해서는 보다 높은 출력의 레이저를 요하고 있다. 그러나 현재의 간섭계용 레이저는 헬륨네온 레이저로서 단일 모드 기준으로 2 mW 이하의 출력을 보이고 있어서 응용 면에 있어서 제약을 받는다. (중략)

초음파는 일반적으로 물질의 내부결함을 측정하거나 결정입경과 같은 물질의 특성을 측정하는데 사용된다. 현재 초음파를 검지하는 방법으로는 탐촉자를 물질에 접촉시켜서 초음파를 측정하는 접촉식 방법이 널리 사용되고 있다. 따라서, 이러한 접촉식 초음파 검출방법은 원격탐사를 하는데에 어려움이 있다. 이런 문제점을 보완하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 패브리-페로 간섭계(Fabry-Perot interferometer)를 이용하여 비접촉식으로 초음파를 검출하는 방법에 대하여 실험하였다. (중략)

Measurment of dynamic strain is important to monitor structural integrity. In this paper, the new type of EFPI is proposed to measure the dynamic strain. The second reflecting surface of fiber in this new sensor is deposited gold on to increase its reflectivity. So, it is called the gold-deposited EFPI (G-EFPI) in this paper. In order to explain the principle of measurement of the dynamic strain, two models for the loss of intensity are proposed and an experiment is performed. If a cavity between two reflecting surface increases, the loss of the light that passes through the cavity increases, causing a subsequent decrease in the output intensity of the sensor. Conversely, if the cavity decreases, the amount of loss decreases and the output intensity increases. Also the optimal length of the cavity is proposed to manufacture the G-EFPI with high sensitivity. Finally, the dynamic strainof a composite specimen was measured successfully using the G-EFPI.

Two types of fiber-optic sensors, EFPI(extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer) and FBG(fiber Bragg grating), have been investigated for measurement of thermal strain and temperature. The EFPI sensor is only for measurement of thermal strain and the FBG sensor is for simultaneous measurement of thermal strain and temperature. FBG temperature sensor was developed to measure strain-independent temperature. This sensor configuration consists of a single-fiber Bragg grating and capillary tube which makes it isolated from external strain. This sensor can then be used to compensate for the temperature cross sensitivity of a FBG strain sensor. These sensors are demonstrated by embedding them into a graphite/epoxy composite plate and by attaching them on aluminum rod and unsymmetric graphitelepoxy composite plate. All the tests were conducted in a thermal chamber with the temperature range $20-100^{\circ}C$. Results of strain measurements by fiber-optic sensors are compared with that from conventional resistive foil gauge attached on the surface.

Vibration and deformation sensing control of lightweight structures using optical fiber sensor technology is introduced in this presentation. This paper shows several examples of vibration control and deformation estimation for structures using these optical fiber sensor systems. Among various optical fiber sensors, in this paper, two types of optical fiber sensors, Fabry-Perot Interferometer(EFPI) and Fiber Bragg Grating(FBG) sensors, are mainly dealt with. Fiber optic sensors show many advantages over conventional strain gages for the measurement of vibration and deformation of lightweight structures.

We performed injection-locking by two independent semiconductor lasers and investigated the spectral modes of the injection-locked laser From the observation of the saturated absorption spectrum in the $^{85}Rb$ D1 transition line, we have confirmed that the frequency of the injection-locked slave laser is synchronized by the frequency of the master laser, and the slave laser has a narrow linewidth after injection-locking. According to the intensity injected into the slave laser, we measured the variation of the injection-locking range and the mode of the injection-locked slave laser by using the confocal Fabry-Ferret interferometer. In the case of the incomplete injection-locking, we observed the competition between the free running mode of the slave laser and the mode of the master laser and analyzed the modes of the injection-locked slave laser.

For the simultaneous measurement of strain and damage signal a fiber Bragg grating sensor system with a dual demodulator was proposed. The dual demodulator is composed of a demodulator using a tunable Fabry-Perot filter measuring the low-frequency signal with large magnitude such as strain and the other using a passive Mach-Zehnder interferometer detecting the high-frequency signal with small amplitude such as impact or damage signal. Using the proposed fiber Bragg grating sensor system, both the strain and damage signals of a cross-ply laminated composite beam under tensile loading were simultaneously measured. The strain and damage signals detected by single fiber Bragg grating sensor showed that sudden strain shifts were accompanied with vibration at a maximum frequency of several hundreds of kilohertz at the instant of matrix crack propagation in the 90 degree layer in composite beam.

For the simultaneous measurement of strain and damage signal, a fiber Bragg grating sensor system with a dual demodulator was proposed. One demodulator using a tunable Fabry-Perot filter can measure low-frequency signal such as strain and the other demodulator using a passive Mach-Zehnder interferometer can detect high-frequency signal such as damage signal or impact signal. Using a proposed fiber Bragg grating sensor system, both the strain and damage signal of a cross-ply laminated composite beam under tensile loading were simultaneously measured. Analysis of the strain and damage signals detected by single fiber Bragg grating sensor showed that sudden strain shifts were induced due to transverse crack propagation in the 90 degree layer of composite beam and vibration with a maximum frequency of several hundreds of kilohertz was generated.
