We suggested the use of miniature hollow glass tubes having high ultraviolet (UV) transmission characteristics for the protection of optical-fiber-type UV sensors. We have recently proposed a highly sensitive optical sensor in the UV spectral range, using a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) coated with an azobenzene polymer as the photoresponsive material. In this study, we used UV-transparent miniature glass tubes to protect the etched FBG with the azobenzene polymer coating. This technique will be very useful for protecting various fiber-based UV sensors.

Diffraction Bragg gratings consisting of metal (silver) nanoparticles are generated inside a soda-lime glass substrate. After ion-exchanging and annealing processes in the glass, the silver nanoparticles are first formed with the particle diameters of 10 nm ∼ 30 nm. By interfering two CW laser beams at ∼ 60 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ deep under the surface of the nanoparticles-dispersed glass, Bragg gratings with thickness of 15 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and period of 3.5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ are generated. Diffraction efficiency of the gratings formed by two TE-polarized beams is three times higher than that by two TM-polarized beams. From this polarization dependence, we have found that strong coupling of the surface plasmons induced on the metal particles may contribute dominantly to generate the diffraction grating.

광섬유 센서 중 대표적인 FBG센서를 철도 구조물에 실제 적용하기 위해서는, 센서 자체의 기계적 강도에 대한 내구성이 확증되어야 하고, 철도 구조물의 파손 시까지 FBG 센서가 측정치를 측정할 수 있도록 충분한 변형률 한도를 가져야만 한다. 본 논문에서는 FBG센서의 기계적 강도에 영향을 미치는 변수들에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 기계적 인장 강도 시험을 위한 시험 셋업을 구성하였고, 광섬유의 광민감성을 증진하기 위해 사용된 수소함침법과 코팅층을 제거하기 위한 피복 제거기법을 사용한 FBG 센서의 인장 강도 변화를 시험 및 통계 처리를 이용하여 측정하였고, 강도저하가 거의 없음을 보여 주었다.

A smart glass fiber reinforced polymer (SMFRP) reinforcing bar with a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor was fabricated using a pultrusion technique, while ribs were formed to improve bonding between concrete and SMFRP. Then, strain of SMFRP bars were measured for a uniaxial tension test of an SMFRP bar, and a four-point bending test of concrete beams reinforced with SMFRP bars. The results of a uniaxial tension test illustrate that the strain obtained from an FBG sensor agrees well with that obtained from electrical resistance strain gauge (ERSG). Additionally, concrete beams reinforced with SMFRP bars were fabricated, and actual flexural test were performed while the strain of with an FBG sensor was compared with that of ERSG. The experimental results demonstrate that SMFRP bars can be used as reinforcement of concrete member while providing deformation information. Furthermore, SMFRP bars may provide stronger durability and smart monitoring to reinforced concrete members under corrosive environments during a service life.

반도체 광 증폭기와 파브리-페롯 가변 필터를 이용한 파장 훑음 레이저 기반 광 결맞음 단층 촬영을 구성하고, 이로부터 선명한 이미징을 얻기 위한 파수 영역 선형화를 구현하였다. 파수 영역 선형화는 5 개의 서로다른 공진 파장을 가진 광섬유 격자로 이루어진 어레이를 이용하여 보간법으로 수행하였다. 샘플단의 1 mm 깊이에서 파수 영역 선형화를 수행한 후 점 분포 함수(point spread function)로부터 측정한 SNR(signal-to-noise ratio)은 12 dB 향상된 값을 얻어냈다. 또한 파수 영역 선형화 전과 후에 대해 슬라이드 글라스를 이용하여 OCT 이미징을 얻어낸 결과 파수 영역 선형화가 매우 잘 되었음을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 PLC 소자용 브래그 격자에 적용되는 재료인 Ge, B 등이 다량 첨가되어 있는 실리카 유리에서 발생하는 감광성(photosensitivity)을 조사하고 감광성의 발현 기구를 연구하였다. 관찰된 굴절률 변화의 최대값은 약 $10^{-3}$ 정도였으며 열처리 과정을 거치기 전후에 이러한 굴절률의 변화 양상이 변화하는 것을 관찰하였다. 이와 같은 굴절률의 변화를 UV 흡수도와 라만 스펙트림을 이용하여 본 연구의 시편에서 발생하는 감광성의 기구를 규명한 결과 굴절률 변화 요인이 유리 내에 존재하는 내부응력과 첨가된 B에 의하여 증대된 고밀화 과정에서 발생하는 현상임을 밝혔다.

In this paper, we try to detect the peel out effect and find the strain difference between the main structure and retrofitting patch material when they separate from each other. In the experiment, two fiber optic Bragg grating sensors are applied to the main concrete structure and the patching material separately at the same position. The sensors show coincident behaviors at the initial loading, but different behaviors after a certain load. The test results show the possibility of optical fiber sensor monitoring of beam structures retrofitted by the composite patches.

When femtosecond laser pulses are focused inside the bulk of transparent materials, the intensity in the focal volume becomes high enough to produce permanent structural modifications. This technique has been applied to fabricate three-dimensional photonic structures such as optical memory, waveguides, gratings, and couplers inside a wide variety of transparent materials. In this paper, we review the fabrication of optical elements in glasses with femtosecond laser pulses, including the fabrication of waveguides, couplers, Bragg gratings, zone plates, holographic memory, and micro holes.

A Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor imbedded small wind turbine blade was manufactured to experimentally investigate the feasibility to embed FBG sensors between layers of glass fiber to monitor dynamic strains of the wind turbine blade. The blade which is similar to a commercial 300 W wind turbine blade was manufactured with glass fiber as a reinforcement and epoxy resin as base material. A total of five FBG sensors including one temperature sensor were imbedded in the blade to sense mechanical strain and temperature. While manufacturing the blade, residual strain and temperature that occurred in the small wind turbine blade were monitored using the imbedded FBG sensor array. To examine the sensor performance, an impact test was carried out. The experimental results from the FBG sensors were close to those from electrical strain gages mounted on the blade root surface. The mode shapes of the blade were analyzed also using a commercial Ansys simulation with a model obtained from a three dimensional laser scanning of the blade.
