Thermal characteristics, such as diffusivity and temperature induced change in the fiber mode index of rotation sensing fiber coil are critical factors which determine the time varying, thermo-optically induced bias drift of interferometric fiber-optic gyroscopes (IFOGs). In this study, temperature dependence of the transient effect is analyzed in terms of the thermal characteristics of the fiber coil at three different temperatures. By applying an analytic model to the measured bias in the experiments, comprehensive thermal factors of the fiber coil could be extracted effectively. The validity of the model was confirmed by the fact that the extracted values are reasonable results in comparison with well known properties of the materials of the fiber coil. Temperature induced changes in the critical factors were confirmed to be essential in compensating the transient effect over a wide temperature range.

We improved an efficiency of fiber-optic current transformer by using a metal-coated sensor coil. To reduce the linear birefringence, we used a length of spun fiber as sensor coil, and then used a flint glass fiber coil for comparison. To make the sensor coil in the reflection type, we used different reflection mirrors at the end of the sensor coil, such as a Faraday rotator mirror, a simple mirror, a metal-coated fiber end and a simple fiber end. From the experimental results, the linear error of current measurements were less than ${\sim}$ 0.2 % regardless of the mirror types. The metal-coated sensor was the most cost-effective considering the fabrication cost and the simple structure.

Stable and tunable dual-wavelength erbium-doped fiber ring laser(EDFL) using a single fiber Bragg grating(FBG) and two coil heaters is proposed and demonstrated. Installing two identical coils into a single FBG, the FBG is symmetrically divided into two different portions. While a current supply to the coil, the refractive index of the FBG under the coil is changed. The FBG can operate as a joint of two different FBGs. Due to the thermo-optic effect of a fiber, the resonance wavelength split into two peaks. The spacing between two adjacent channels was changed as much as the difference of heating power. It was tuned up to 3 nm of wavelength under the electrical power with a 1000 mW. Moreover, the lasing wavelength can be individually tuned without influencing to the adjacent channel.

보호계전 시스템의 전류센서로 사용할 목적으로 편광분석형 광섬유 전류센서를 개발하였다. 광섬유의 선형복굴절에 의한 출력의 왜곡을 최소화하기 위하여 단일모드 광섬유를 미터 당 20회 이상 비틀고 그 끝단에 FRM(Faraday rotator mirror)을 부착하여 센서코일을 제작하였다. 광섬유 센서코일의 비틀림 정도를 달리하며 다양한 환경에서의 전류측정 실험을 행하였다. 실험결과로부터 광섬유 센서코일이 진동 등의 환경적 노이즈를 효율적으로 차단함을 알 수 있었으며 $\pm$3% 이내의 시스템 출력안정도를 얻었다.

The bias characteristics due to the changes of temperature and temperature gradient of fiber coil are investigated in fiber-optic gyroscope. The bias performance is degraded with the changes of temperature and temperature gradient of fiber coil. The temperature compensation using both the temperature-dependent bias measurement and the temperature-induced error model of fiber-optic gyroscope improves the bias stability about 3 times as much as the uncompensated original case, which leads to very stable bias performance over the temperature range from $-35^{\circ}C$ to $+77^{\circ}C$.

전력계통 시스템의 대전류 측정용으로 편광 분석형 광섬유 전류센서를 제작하였다. 선형복굴절에 의한 출력의 왜곡을 최소화하기 위하여 FRG 광섬유를 센서코일로 사용하였으며, 다양한 광원을 이용하여 광원에 따른 출력 노이즈 비교분석을 수행하였다. FRG광섬유 센서코일에 기계적 변형을 인가한 경우 $\pm$0.4(%) 이내의 출력안정도를 얻었으며, ASE 광폭 광원을 사용할 경우 단일모드 레이저에 비해 23(㏈) 정도의 노이즈 감쇄 효과를 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

대전류 측정용 편광 분석형 광섬유 CT를 개발하였다. 센서코일은 스펀 광섬유의 끝단에 FRM 반사경을 부착하여 개방형으로 구성하였으며, 전류측정 실험을 통한 출력신호의 선형화 오차는 ${\pm}2[%]$ 이내였다. 비틀림 광섬유와 flint glass 광섬유 센서코일을 동일한 조건에서 실험하여 비교 검토한 결과, 스펀 광섬유가 각각 50배, 2배 큰 전류측정 민감도를 가지고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

The stabilization of fiber-optic current sensor has been achieved by using a broadband light source and a Faraday Rotator Glass fiber sensor coil. The very low Photo-elastic constant of the fiber suppressed output variations within ${\pm}0.4[%]$ when mechanical disturbance was applied to the sensor coil. Noise characteristics, with different light sources, have also been analyzed, which experimentally proved that the wider bandwidth source showed the better noise performance.

We have proposed and demonstrated an gas-flow sensor using optical fiber bragg grating(FEG). The flow sensor has no electronics and no mechanical parts in its sensing part and the structure is th11s simple and immune to electromagnetic interference(EMI). The FEG sensor was consisted qf the sensing element and a coil heater. The metal coil was used to supply the current to the FEG. While some currents supply to the coil, the refractive index of the FEG under the coil is changed and thus the wavelength shift of fiber optic sensor was induced In this work, the wavelength shift according to flow-rate was experimentally studied and was used to evaluate the gas flow-rate in a gas tube. As a result, it was possible to measure the flow-rate in a linear range from 5 to $20{\ell}/min$ with a resolution of approximately $1{\ell}/min$ at the applied currents of 100 mA and 120 mA. The measured sensitivities were $15.3\;pm/\ell/min$ for 100 mA and $20.2\;pm/\ell/min$ for 120 mA.

This paper presents the feasibility on the application of composite coil spring, which has great interest in the automobile industry. In order to obtain much lighter weight of the composite spring, it will be necessary to optimize the design variables such as fiber angles and diameter of coil, etc. First of all, mechanical properties were measured to consider the effects of FVR and ply angles for carbon fiber composite material. And the shear modulus with respect to ply angles were derived based on twisting angles calculated by torsional beam model. Next we determined the design parameters of composite coil spring, which has equivalent spring rate to the steel coil spring. In order to assess the proposed method, finite element model of the composite spring was developed and analysed to obtain the spring constant. The results showed that static spring rate of the composite spring was in a good agreement with that of steel spring.
