A fiberoptic sensor using an SLD as a light source has been studied. The sensor system employs an intrinsic fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer as a sensing tip and a fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer as a processing one. A free loading test for temperature application shows that the fiberoptic sensor has a wide-dynamic range as well as high resolution. Due to the inherent property of the optical fiber itself and the intrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer. the fiberoptic sensor gives obvious benefits when it is applied to harsh environments to monitor some physical parameters such as temperature, strain, pressure and vibration.

A noble fiberoptic voltage sensor system utilizing an interferometric transducer has been introduced for high voltage measurement. The sensor system employs a fiberoptic Fabry-Perot interferometric strain sensor to convert voltage to displacement in an auxiliary movable electrode. The operating mechanism is based on the fact that the electrostatic force acting on the electrode system by the applied voltage results in strain variation on the Fabry-Perot interferometry. The experiment results show that the proposed voltage sensor has the potential to be extended to very high voltage system with appropriate auxiliary electrodes.

This paper introduces a technology for robust and low maintenance cost sensor network capable to detect accelerations below a micro-g in a wide frequency bandwidth (above 1,000 Hz). Sensor networks with such performance are critical for navigation, seismology, acoustic sensing, and for the health monitoring of civil structures. The approach is based on the fabrication of an array of high sensitivity accelerometers, each utilizing Fabry-Perot cavity with wavelength-dependent reflectivity to allow embedded optical detection and serialization. The unique feature of the approach is that no local power source is required for each individual sensor. Instead one global light source is used, providing an input optical signal which propagates through an optical fiber network from sensor-to-sensor. The information from each sensor is embedded onto the transmitted light as an intrinsic wavelength division multiplexed signal. This optical "rainbow" of data is then assessed providing real-time sensing information from each sensor node in the network. This paper introduces the Fabry-Perot based accelerometer and examines its critical features, including the effects of imperfections and resolution estimates. It then presents serialization techniques for the creation of systems of arrayed sensors and examines the effects of serialization on sensor response. Finally, a fabrication process is proposed to create test structures for the critical components of the device, which are dynamically characterized.

A fiberoptic sensor using a low-coherence SLD as a light source has been studied. The sensor system employing an intrinsic fiber Fabry-Peort interferometer as a sensing tip and a fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer as a processing one, overcomes the ambiguous reading caused by the highly periodic natrue of conventional high-precision interferometric sensors and provides unambiguous identification of the desired phase among several candidates on the transfer function of an interferometric signal. A tentative application to the temperature sensor shows the potential that the fiberoptic sensor has a side-dynamic range of $0-900^{\circ}C$ as well as reasonable resolution higher than $0.1^{\circ}C$ without ambiguity. Due to the inherent property of the optical fiber itself and the intrinsic fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer, the proposed fiberoptic sensor will give obvious benefits when it is applied to harsh environments to monitor some physical parameters such as temperature, strain, pressure and vibration.

The fiber Fabry-Perot interferometric(FFPI) sensor is well known in the field of industrial diagnosis due to its outstanding properties such as tiny size, simple and rugged structure, and easy interrogation. As other fiber interferometric sensors, it also suffers from ambiguous output caused by highly periodic feature in its optical transfer function. In most cases, the ambiguity leads to relatively short dynamic operating range and long processing time during power-on reset, which limits its application to some specific fields requiring very high resolution. In this paper a method based on double sensing scheme was proposed to overcome the above difficulty. By employing a fringe selection auxiliary FFPI sensor the original FFPI sensor can identify its true position on the phase domain. The performance test with 10mm FFPI sensor and a thermocouple temperature sensor for reference shows wide dynamic range 0-900$\ell$ keeping a reasonable resolution of 0.1$\ell$ over the entire range.

간섭형 광섬유 센서의 경우 소자의 구성만 적절히 바꾸어 다른 종류의 측정에도 사용될 수 있다는 점에 착안하여 여러 종류의 센서를 동시에 신호처리할 수 있는 원격 다중화 광섬유 센서 시스템을 구현하였다. 구현된 센서 시스템의 신호처리는 간단한 광학 구성으로 원격 다중화 측정이 가능하도록 광섬유 Fabry-Perot 간섭형 센서배열을 가정하여 피측정량의 변화에 의한 간섭 무늬의 수만 카운트하는 디지털 신호처리로 구성되었다. 광섬유의 광학 효과에 대한 데이터를 종합함으로써 센서 시스템에 부착할 센서를 구현하기 위해 적합한 광학효과를 선택하는 기준을 제시하였으며, 한 예로서 반경 4.3 cm의 원형 다이아프램 중앙에 광섬유 Fabry-Perot 간섭계를 부착하여 광섬유의 스트레인 광학 효과를 이용하게 구성한 압력센서 1개를 센서 시스템에 연결하여 간섭형 광섬유 압력 센서 시스템을 구성하였다. 압력센서의 동작을 수조실험에서 확인함으로써 압력의 원격 측정이 가능함을 보였으며, 수조 실험의 길과 2 m의 측정범위에서 오차는 ${\pm}3.6\;cm$이내인 것으로 나타났다.

응답특성이 빠르고, 좁은 영역에서의 측정에 있어 매우 유리한 고 분해능의 광섬유 Fabry -Perot 간섭형 센서를 제조하기 위해 반사막으로 사용될 $TiO_{2}$ 박막의 형성법에 대해 조사하였다. RF magnetron sputtering 법을 이용하여 증착된 $TiO_{2}$ 박막은 굴절률이 $2.36{\sim}2.48$정도, 그리고 O/Ti의 원소조성비는 거의 2에 가까운 화학양론적인 조성비가 되어 e-beam 증착법으로 증착된 박막보다 우수한 특성을 나타내었다. 또한 용융 접합법을 사용하여 광섬유 선로내에 $TiO_{2}$ 반사막을 형성할 경우 RF 전력이 120W인 조건에서 증착된 반사막이 가장 큰 반사율을 나타내었을 뿐만 아니라 우수한 반사율 조절특성을 보였다. 광섬유 선로내에 이러한 조건에서 증착된 $TiO_{2}$ 반사막을 가지는 진성 광섬유 Fabry-Perot 간섭계는 매우 안정된 간섭특성을 나타내어 이를 여러가지 센서에 응용할 경우 고정도의 우수한 감지 특성을 나타낼 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In this study, the relationship between the transmitted light intensity and full-width-at-half-maximum (FWHM) of a Fabry-Perot filter was investigated. The measured refractive indices and absorption coefficients of the fabricated thin films were applied to the Fabry-Perot filter via simulations using optical software. Although considerable research has been conducted on Fabry-Perot filters, this study focused on the usefulness of 4.26-㎛ infrared filtering in carbon dioxide detection. Optical analysis was performed considering the effects of the thickness, refractive indices, and number of thin films in a distributed Bragg reflector. Ultimately, a clear trade-off relationship was observed wherein the transmitted light intensity decreased as the number of multilayers increased; however, the FWHM was observed to be narrower.

A biosensor has been developed based on induced wavelength shifts in the Fabry-Perot fringes in the visible reflection spectrum of appropriately derivatized thin films of porous silicon semiconductors. Porous silicon (PSi) was generated by an electrochemical etching of silicon wafer using two electrode configurations in aqueous ethanolic HF solution. Porous silicon displayed Fabry-Perot fringe patterns whose reflection maxima varied spatially across the porous silicon. The sensor system studied consisted of a mono layer of porous silicon modified with Protein A. The system was probed with various fragments of an aqueous Human Immunoglobin G (Ig G) analyte. The sensor operated by measurement of the Fabry-Perot fringes in the white light reflection spectrum from the porous silicon layer. Molecular binding was detected as a shift in wavelength of these fringes.
