  • 본 논문에서는 FBG 가변 형 필터의 출력 특성에 대한 수치해석의 결과와 실험값을 비교 분석하기 위해 $25^{\circ}C$에서 $90^{\circ}C$ 까지 온도 변화에 대해 FBG 가변 형 필터의 출력스펙트럼을 측정하였다. 수치해석과 실험의 결과로부터 온도변화에 따른 선폭과 출력의 크기는 거의 변화가 없지만, 브래그 파장은 이론값과 비교적 유사하게 온도에 따라 이동함을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 온도의 상승, 하강, 유지 시에도 동일한 결과를 보였다.

  • Typically electronic resistance type sensors have been used for measurement system of high-speed trains. But due to a large number of measurement quantities, we had difficulties in installing and maintaining the cables that connect sensors and measuring devices. Furthermore, signals obtained from the electronic resistance type sensors are often distorted because the sensors and cables are vulnerable to electro-magnetic interference (EMI). In this paper the characteristic of FBG sensors are compared with those of electronic resistance type sensors in application for the measurement system of high-speed trains. FBG sensors have advantages because of their multiplexing characteristic and robustness to EMI environment.

  • Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are considered suitable candidates for structural materials of spacecrafts due to their excellent properties of high strength, light weight, and corrosion resistance. An online health monitoring method for FRP composites must be applied to space structures. However, the application of existing health monitoring methods to space structures is limited due to the harsh space environment. Here, carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites embedded with fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors were prepared to explore the feasibility of strain monitoring using embedded FBG sensors in γ-radiation environment. The analysis of the influence of radiation on the strain monitoring demonstrated that the embedded FBG can be successfully applied to the health monitoring of FRP composites in radiation environment.

  • In this paper, a fiber-optic current sensor for a bus bar conductor based on the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is proposed and demonstrated experimentally. The metal bus bar and a magnet are connected to each other through an FBG and the Bragg wavelength of the FBG is changed by magnetic force between the two connected devices. The experimental results showed that the Bragg wavelength of an FBG shifted by 650 pm as the 500 A direct current was applied to the bus bar.

  • Among many fabrication methods of composite materials, filament winding is the most effective method for fabricating axis-symmetric structures such as pressure tanks and pipes. Filament wound pressure tanks are under high internal pressure during the operation and it has the complexity in damage mechanisms and failure modes. For this reason, it is necessary to monitor the tank through its operation as well as whole fabrication process. A large number of sensors must be embedded into multi points of the tank from its fabrication step for monitoring the whole tank. Fiber optic sensors, especially fiber Bragg grating(FBG) sensors are widely used for various applications because of good multiplexing capabilities. However, we need to develop the embedding technique of FBG sensors into harsh inner environment of the tank far the successful embedment. In this paper, we studied the embedding technique of a number of FBG sensors into filament wound pressure tanks considering multiplexing.

  • Fiber optic sensors (FOS) have advantages such as electromagnetic interference (EMI) immunity, corrosion resistance and multiplexing capability. For these reasons, they are widely used in various condition monitoring systems (CMS). This study investigated a muscular condition monitoring system using fiber optic sensors (FOS). Generally, sensors for monitoring the condition of the human body are based on electro-magnetic devices. However, such an electrical system has several weaknesses, including the potential for electro-magnetic interference and distortion. Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors overcome these weaknesses, along with simplifying the devices and increasing user convenience. To measure the level of muscle contraction and relaxation, which indicates the musle condition, a belt-shaped FBG sensor module that makes it possible to monitor the movement of muscles in the radial and circumferential directions was fabricated in this study. In addition, a uniaxial tensile test was carried out in order to evaluate the applicability of this FBG sensor module. Based on the experimental results, a relationship was observed between the tensile stress and Bragg wavelength of the FBG sensors, which revealed the possibility of fabricating a muscular condition monitoring system based on FBG sensors.
