본 논문에서는 열팽창 계수가 큰 땜납을 광섬유 격자 (FBG)에 용융 부착시킨 온도센서에 관한 연구 결과를 발표하고자 한다. $110^{\circ}C$ 이하의 온도에서는 브래그 파장의 변이가 0.04 $nm/^{\circ}C$로써, 땜납이 부착되지 않은 FBG보다 약 4배의 감도가 향상되었다. 그러나 $110^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서는 파장 변이가 0.01 $nm/^{\circ}C$로써 땜납이 부착되자 않은 FBG와 동일한 감도가 측정되었다. 땜납을 고온에서 용융 부착하기 때문에 $110^{\circ}C$ 이하의 온도에서는 브래그 파장이 단파장 쪽으로 이동되어 나타났다. 또한, 땡납 부착 후, 땡납과 FBG의 계면에서 발생된 스트레스를 열처리 과정을 통해 이완시켜 안정된 동작을 얻을 수 있었다.

We proposed a poly-dimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-coated fiber Bragg grating (FBG) temperature sensor for enhancing temperature sensitivity. By embedding the bare FBG in a temperature-sensitive elastomeric polymer, the temperature sensitivity of the proposed structure could be effectively improved by 4.2 times higher than those of the conventional bare-type FBG sensors due to the high thermal expansion coefficient of the PDMS. We analyzed the temperature-sensitivity enhancement effect with the increased Bragg wavelength shift in our structure and dependence on the temperature sensitivity with respect to the cross-section area of the PDMS.

Structures can be evaluated their health status by allowable loading criteria. These criteria can be determined by the maximum strain. Therefore, in order to detect this maximum strain of structures, fiber optic Bragg grating(FBG) sensor probes are newly designed and fabricated to perform the memorizing detection even if the sensor system is on-and-off. The probe is constructed with an FBG optical fiber embedded in silver epoxy. When the load is applied and removed on the structure, the residual strain remains in the silver epoxy to memorize the maximum strain effect. In this study, a commercial Al-foil bonded FBG sensor probe was tested to investigate the detection feasibility at first. FBG sensor probes with silver epoxy were fabricated as three different sizes. The detection feasibility of maximum strain was studied by doing the tensile tests of CFRP specimens bonded with these FBG sensor probes. It was investigated the sensitivity coefficient defined as the maximum strain divided by the residual strain. The highest sensitivity was 0.078 of the thin probe having the thickness of 2 mm.

This study investigates the temperature sensitivities of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) across a broad temperature spectrum ranging from -196 ℃ to 900 ℃. We developed the FBG temperature measurement system using a high-temperature tubular furnace and liquid nitrogen to supply consistent high and low temperatures, respectively. Our research showed that the FBG temperature sensitivity changed from 1.55 to 10.61 pm/℃ in the range from -196 ℃ to 25 ℃ when the FBG was packaged with a quartz capillary. In the 25-900 ℃ range, the sensitivity varied from 11.26 to 16.62 pm/℃. Contrary to traditional knowledge, the FBG temperature sensitivity was not constant. This inconsistency primarily stems from the nonlinear shifts in the thermo-optic coefficient and thermal expansion coefficient across this temperature spectrum. The theoretically predicted and experimentally determined temperature sensitivities of FBGs encased in quartz capillary were remarkably consistent. The greatest discrepancy, observed at 25 ℃, was approximately 1.3 pm/℃. Furthermore, it was observed that at 900 ℃, the FBG was rapidly thermally erased, exhibiting variable reflected intensity over time. This study focuses on the advancement of precise temperature measurement techniques in environments that experience wide temperature fluctuations, and has considerable potential application value.

A fiber-optic liquid level sensor based on bending cantilever beam has been proposed. A fiber Bragg grating(FBG) embedded in the cantilever beam is used to sensing elements. The basic concept is elongation and constriction of the FBG corresponding to the liquid level variation. The best FBG position on the cantilever for obtaining the high sensitivity was 4 cm from the fixing point. When the liquid level moves up and down vertically, the Bragg wavelength is linearly shifted. But, the wavelength sensitivity of the FBG installed on the upper side of cantilever was four times better than that of the FBG equipped in the lateral side due to the difference of unit strain applied to the FBG. Intensity demodulation using the low-cost edge filter is used to interrogate the Bragg wavelength through converting the wavelength signals into the optical intensity ones. Experiment results show that the electrical output is exponentially proportional to the liquid level. But, it should be overcome for applying to the ships.

In this study, an acceleration sensor that has optical fibers to measure the inclination and acceleration of a structure through contradictory changes in two-component FBG sensors was examined. The proposed method was to ensure precise measurement through the unification of the deformation rate sensor and the angular displacement sensor. A high sensitivity three-axis accelerometer was designed and prepared using this method. To verify the accuracy of the accelerometer, the change in wavelength according to temperature and tension was tested. Then, the change in wavelength of the prepared accelerometer according to the sensor angle, and that of the sensor according to the change in ambient temperature were measured. According to the test results on the FBG-based vibration sensor that was developed using a high-speed vibrator, the range in measurement was 0.7 g or more, wavelength sensitivity, 2150 pm/g or more, and the change in wavelength change, $9.5pm/^{\circ}C$.

In this research, we investigated the frequency characteristic of low-velocity impact induced damage signals on graphite/epoxy composite laminates using high-speed fiber Bragg grating(FBG) sensor system. Appling the FBG sensors to damage assessment, we need to study the response of FBG sensors as the damage signals of the different incident angles because FBG shows different directional sensitivity. In order to discriminate an impact induced damage signal from that of undamaged case, drop impacts with different energies were applied to the composite panel with different incident angle to the FBG sensor. Finally, detected impact signals were compared using frequency distributions of wavelet detail components in order to find distinctive signal characteristics of composites delamination.

FBG(Fiber Bragg grating)s have shown a great potential for sensing applications, and are easily embedded in materials with a negligible impact on the mechanical properties of the host. However, the use of FBG sensors is limited by their simultaneous dependence on strain and temperature, thus only one parameter can be determined from a single grating. This paper reviews various methods to discriminate between strain and temperature effects. To overcome this cross sensitivity using only embedded optical fibers, a number of techniques have been proposed, most of them relying on the deconvolution of two simultaneous measurements.

본 논문은 광섬유 브래그 격자의 방사선 민감도에 대한 수소로딩 공정의 영향에 대해서 연구하였다. 게르마늄이 함유된 광섬유에 수소로딩 기간을 달리하여 광섬유 브래그 격자를 제작하였다. 광섬유 브래그 격자는 총 18 kGy 감마선에 조사하여 방사선에 의한 브래그 파장의 변화를 측정하였고, 방사선 조사 후에는 반치대역폭과 온도 감도 계수의 변화를 평가하였다. 수소로딩 조건에 따라서 방사선에 의한 브래그 파장의 변화는 약 2 배 이상의 차이를 보였다.
