We demonstrate a fiber-optic sensor scheme, capable of the simultaneous measurement of strain and temperature using a single fiber Bragg grating written in an erbium: ytterbium-doped fiber. This novel and compact fiber grating based sensor scheme can be used for synchronous measurement of strain and temperature over ranges of $1100\;{\mu}{\varepsilon}$ and $50-180\;^{\circ}C$ with rms errors of $55.8\;{\mu}{\varepsilon}$ and $3^{\circ}C$, respectively. The simple and low-cost sensor approach has a considerable potential, particularly for wide-range strain sensing applications in which high resolution is not required.

Spectroscopic and thermal analysis indicates that tellurite glasses doped with $B_2O_3$ and $GeO_2$ are promising candidate host materials for wide-band erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) with a high 980 nm pump efficiency. In this study, we measured the thermal stabilities and the emission cross-sections for $Er^{3+}:^{4}I_{13/2}\;{\to}\;^{4}I_{15/2}$ transition in this tellurite glass system. We also determined the Judd-Ofelt parameters and calculated the radiative transition rates and the multiphonon relaxation rates in this glass system. The 15 mol% substitution of $B_2O_3$ for $TeO_2$ in the $Er^{3+}-doped\;75TeO_2-20ZnO-5K_2O$ glass raised the multiphonon relaxation rate for $^4I_{11/2}\;{\to}\;^4I_{13/2}$ transition from 4960 $s^{-1}$ to 24700 $s^{-1}$, but shortened the lifetime of the $^4I_{13/2}$ level by 14 % and reduced the emission cross-section for the $^4I_{13/2}\;{\to}\;^4I_{15/2}$ transition by 11%. The 15 mol% $GeO_2$ substitution in the same glass system also reduced the emission cross-section but increased the lifetime by 7%. However, the multiphonon relaxation rate for $^4I_{11/2}{\to}^4I_{13/2}$ transition was raised merely by 1000 $s^{-1}$. Therefore, a mixed substitution of $B_2O_3$ and $GeO_2$ for $TeO_2$ was concluded to be suitable for the 980 nm pump efficiency and the fluorescence efficiency of $^4I_{13/2}{\to}^4I_{15/2}$ transition in $Er^{3+}-doped$ tellurite glasses.

A harmonically mode-locked fiber ring laser cavlty was theoretically analyzed. The measured charactenstlcs of a 10 GHz erbium-doped fiber ring laser were used as a basis of the theoretical analysis. From the nonlinear Schroedinger equation of an actively mode-locked erblUm-doped fiber laser. the effects of the components inside the laser cavity have been analyzed includmg nonlinear effects from group-velocity dispersion (GVD) and self-phase modulation (SPM). Usmg the analysls. we have designed a laser cavity with minimum pulsewidth and chirp by changing the intracavity optical intensity and the bandwidth of the filter. In the new design, the chirp i, reduced by 2 times and the pulsewidth by 2A times. compared to the laser used in the experiment. iment.

A study of the tunable fiber DFB laser using PZT-stretcher is presented. The device has an laser ocsillator by using a fiber Bragg grating at 1559.4 nm written directly into a 3-cm long $Er^{3+}$ doped fiber. Post UV-exposure method to provide the necessary phase shift is used for a single mode operation. The device shows the single mode operation of $230\muW$ output power and has a narrow linewidth of 35 kHz. The lasing wavelength of the laser can be tuned in a range of 3 nm by stretching the grating.rating.

Isolator가 삽입된 Erbium 첨가 광섬유광원을 제작하였고 그 특성을 측정하였다. Isolator 삽입 유무에 따른 광섬유광원의 전 온도구간($-32^{\sim}75^{\circ}C$)에서의 중심파장 안정도는 수 ppm으로 큰 차이를 보이지 않았고, 귀환광 변화($-22^{\sim}-20dB$)에 따른 중심파장 안정도에서는 isolator 삽입이후에 1.6ppm으로 귀환광 변화에 매우 둔감한 결과를 얻었다.

CaO-Al2O3 glass is a good candidate as optical fiber amplifier and laser. In this study, optical properties for 4I13/2longrightarrow4I15/2 transition of Er3+ ions doped in CaO-Al2O3 glasses were investigated. Optical absorptions, radiative transition probabilities and lifetimes for 4I13/2 level were evaluated by using Judd-Ofelt theory. Also, induced- emmision cross-sections of 4I13/2longrightarrow4I15/2 transition were calculated. Radiative transition probability and lifetime of 4I13/2 level were 144.6s-1, 690$mutextrm{s}$ respectively for 60CaO.40Al2O3 glass(FS0) and 152.6s-1, 660 $mutextrm{s}$ for 54 CaO.36Al2O3.10SiO2 glass (FS10). Each induced-emission cross sections for FS0 and FS10 was 0.749$\times$10-20 $\textrm{cm}^2$, 0.892$\times$10-20 $\textrm{cm}^2$. Obtained values were comparable with those of ZBLA glass studied as optical fiber amplifier and laser material.

We have constructed a narrow-linewidth single-longitudinal-mode unidirectional $Er^{3+}$ -doped fiber laser using a fiber Bragg grating incorporated by a three port optical circulator with a compact configuration. Using a conventional delayed self-heterodyne detection technique with Mach-Zehnder interferometer a linewidth of 5 kHz was measured. In a single-longitudinal-mode operation, output power of up to 2.7 mW at 1548 nm were obtained for a launched pump power of 43 mW at 980 nm.
