In this paper, the sensing characteristics of a double cladding fiber (DCF) long-period fiber grating (LPFG) to the surrounding refractive index (SRI) are studied. The outer cladding of the DCF plays the role of the overlay, thus, the mode transition (MT) phenomenon of DCF can be induced by etching the outer cladding radius instead of coating overlays. The response characteristics of the effective refractive index (ERI) of the cladding mode to the outer cladding radius are analyzed. It is found that in the MT range, the change rate of ERIs of cladding modes is relatively larger than that for other ranges. Further, based on the features of the mode transition region (MTR), the phase-matching curve of the 11^th cladding mode is investigated, and the response of the DCF-LPFG to the SRI is characterized by the change of wavelength intervals between the dual peaks under different outer cladding radii. The numerical simulation results show that the SRI sensitivity is greatly improved, which is available to 3484.0 nm/RIU with the fitting degree 0.998 in the SRI range of 1.33-1.37. The proposed DCF-LPFG can provide new theoretical support for designing the DCF-LPFG refractive index sensor with excellent performances of sensitivity, linearity and structure.

We report the fabrication of double clad fiber (DCF) and DCF coupler, suitable for fiber based imaging systems requiring the dual-channel transmission. Unlike the conventional DCF which uses silica for both cladding layers, the proposed DCF uses a low-index polymer for its outer-cladding layer coated over the conventional silica inner-cladding layer. The DCF is drawn with a conventional SMF preform but a low-index polymer coating is used for both jacket and outercladding of the fiber. To achieve the cladding mode coupling, a DCF coupler is fabricated by simply twisting two pieces of the proposed DCF after removing the polymer-coating at contacting regions. A cladding mode coupling ratio of 30% was achieved with a contact length of 16 cm. The proposed DCF and DCF coupler were employed in a composite optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fluorescence spectroscopy (FS) system, and both OCT images and FS signal from a plant tissue are measured simultaneously.

편광에 따른 성능 변화가 작은 deep-ridge 도파관 구조에 제작이 용이한 double-sided 프로세스를 이용하여 구현할 수 있는 편광에 무관한 매우 짧은 결합 길이를 가지는 double-sided deep-ridge 도파관 구조를 가지는 새로운 수직 방향성 결합기를 제안하고 여러 가지 구조 파라미터들이 결합길이에 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. 도파관 폭의 변화에 대한 결합길이의 변화는 코어 두께의 변화에 대한 결합길이의 변화보다 작게 나타나는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 내부 클래딩 영역의 두께가 감소할수록, 코어 두께가 감소할수록 결합 길이가 감소함을 볼 수 있었다. 또한 같은 코어 두께에 대해서는 내부 클래딩 영역의 두께가 감소할수록, 같은 내부 클래딩 영역의 두께에 대해서는 코어 두께가 감소할수록 편광에 관계없이 결합 길이가 같아지는 도파관 폭이 작아짐을 볼 수 있었다.

In this work, we have proposed a method for calculating the residual stress developed during the PCB thermo-compression bonding precess. Residual stress is the most important factor that causes PCB warpage in accordance with the pattern design. In this work, a single-layed double-sided PCB, which is comprised of the dielectric (FR-4) substrate in the middle and copper cladding on the both top and bottom sides, is considered. A reference temperature, where all stress is free, is calculated by comparing the calculated and measured warapge of a PCB of which copper cladding of the top side is removed. Then, the reesidual stress values is calculated for the double-sided PCB.

Double-Skin Facades (DSF) on tall buildings are becoming increasingly common in urban environments due to their ability to provide architectural merit, passive design, acoustic control and even improved structural efficiency. This study aims to understand the effects of porous DSF on the aerodynamic characteristics of tall buildings using wind tunnel tests. High Frequency Force Balance and pressure tests were performed on the CAARC standard tall building model with a variable porous DSF on the windward face. The introduction of a porous DSF did not adversely affect the overall mean forces and moments experienced by the building, with few differences compared to the standard tall building model. There was also minimal variation between the results for the three porosities tested: 50%, 65% and 80%. The presence of a full-height porous DSF was shown to effectively reduce the mean and fluctuating wind pressure on the side face of the building by about 10%, and a porous DSF over the lower half height of the building was almost as effective. This indicates that the porous DSF could be used to reduce the design load on cladding and fixtures on the side faces of tall buildings, where most damage to facades typically occurs.

편광에 관계없이 매우 짧은 결합 길이를 가지는 Double-Sided Deep-Ridge (DSDR) 도파관 구조를 가지는 수직 방향성 결합기의 두 코어 굴절율에 약간의 비대칭성을 줌으로써 편광에 관계없이 소멸비가 크게 향상됨을 보였다. 내부 클래딩의 두께와 두 코어의 두께가 감소할수록 두 코어는 강하게 결합되기 때문에 최대 소멸비를 보이는 두 코어 사이의 굴절율의 비대칭값과 30 ㏈ 이상의 소멸비를 보이는 코어 굴절율의 공차는 증가한다. 또한 내부 클래딩의 두께와 두 코어의 두께가 감소할수록 두 코어사이의 결합이 강하게 되어 결합기 길이와 30 ㏈ 이상의 소멸비를 가지는 결합길이의 공차는 감소한다. 편광에 관계없이 100 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 이하의 매우 짧은 소자길이를 가지며 30 ㏈ 이상의 매우 높은 소멸비를 가지는 DSDR수직 방향성 결합기를 구현할 수 있음을 보였다.

We report a probe using a single double clad fiber (DCF) for fluorescence spectroscopy. Bidirectional separate transmission for excitation and fluorescence light in a single fiber was implemented. A DCF coupler made by side-polished method could extract none but the collected fluorescence signals propagating in inner cladding mode, thereby diminishing the interference of silica background generated by the excitation in core mode. The experimental results show that the fluorescence spectra of biological tissues obtained using the DCF probes have much less silica background than using a standard multiple-mode fiber.
