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.

In this paper, we present thermal characteristics of high-temperature measurement sensor using fiber Bragg grating(FBG), including peak reflectivity, FWHM bandwidth and various normalized refractive index change along temperature variation. The temperature stability of FBG temperature sensor can be changed by varying the refractive index change and grating length. The proposed FBG temperature sensor can measure up to about $600^{\circ}C$ and 1000 hours of heating time.

FBG temperature sensor and strain sensor has been used to monitoring shrinkage and temperature of concrete retaining wall in construction site in its casting early age. The test results indicate that this monitoring method is a practical method for monitoring concrete at very early age. The monitoring technique used in this research could be extended to monitor shrinkage and temperature for mass concrete structure.

A novel ultra-narrow linewidth single longtudinal mode DFB semiconductor laser in the extended FBG cavity is proposed. The 3㏈ linewidth of 20KHz was demonstrated by using self-heterodyne measurement set-up with a fiber delay line of 63km. And this linewidth was further compressed to less than 3KHz, which is resolution limited performance, by inserting E $r^{+3}$ doped fiber saturable absorber. This is equivalent to 3㏈ linewidth of 2$\times$10$^{-8}$ nm.

Epoxy composite reinforced with 3-D braided Glass/Aramid hybrid fabric was fabricated. FBG sensor was embedded along the braid yam in order to monitor the changes of the complicated inner region of the 3-D braid structure. The good linearity between Bragg wavelength and temperature was verified by several preliminary experiments. The strain inside 3-D braided beam was estimated using FBG sensor system, and the result was compared with the calculated value. It was found that FBG sensor system is very useful technique to investigate inside region of complicated structure.

In this research, design scheme of fiber Bragg grating(FBG) sensor system for aircraft application is suggested from the results and the know-how from the fon11er researches on structural health monitoring techniques using fiber optic sensors. Design factors to be taken into consideration were derived for both sensor parts including connection and system parts. For the stability of FBG sensor system, design requirements of temperature, vibration, humidity, electromagnetic interference were presented from U. S. military standards. The direction of software programming which increases stability and perfon11ance of the aircraft with the FBG sensor system was also examined.

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. Fiber optic sensors, especially FBG sensors can be easily embedded into the composite structures contrary to conventional electric strain gages (ESGs). In addition, many FBG sensors can be multiplexed in single optical fiber using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) techniques. In this paper, we fabricated several filament wound pressure tanks with embedded FBG sensors and conducted some kinds of experiments such as an impact test, a bending test, and a thermal cycling test. From the experimental results, it was successfully demonstrated that FBG sensors are very appropriate to composite structures fabricated by filament winding process even though they are embedded into composites by multiplexing.

Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) Sensors as advanced measuring system are introduced and actively being applied to establish a smart monitoring system for bridge maintenance. This study develops FBG sensors and suggests a smart monitoring system. As for its first step, to verify the reliability of FBG sensors that developed, a specimen is made FBG sensors and electric sensor are attached. Then, Static test is conducted on the specimen on the specimens to check reliability. In addition, this study estimates the optimum deflection curve that converts strain curve data measured by FBG sensors into deflection.

In this paper, we propose an optical add-drop multiplexer(OADM) for dense-WDM (DWDM) which consists of the fiber Bragg grating(FBG) filter and investigate the temperature characteristics of it. To resolve the characteristics, we find and analyze numerically its temperature response, and fabricate an OADM and measure its output spectrum. From the obtained results, we khow that the center wavelength of output spectrum shifts approximately 0.01230$nm/^{\circ}C$ within a temperature range $-30^{\circ}C{\sim}90^{\circ}C$.
