Multiple fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) have been proposed and demonstrated for gas-flow measurements in a flow channel, using the temperature-difference method. This sensor consists of two FBG temperature sensors and two coil heaters. Coil heaters are used to heat the FBGs. The flow rate of the gas can be obtained by monitoring the difference in the Bragg-wavelength shifts of the two FBGs, which has features that exclude the effect of temperature fluctuations. In this study, experiments are conducted to measure the wavelength shift based on the flow rate, and to evaluate the gas-flow rate in a gas tube. Experimental results show that the sensor has a linear characteristic over a flow-rate range from 0 to 25 ℓ/min. The measured sensitivity of the sensor is 3.2 pm/(ℓ/min) at a coil current of 120 mA.

본 논문에서는 500 A용 bus bar에 적용할 수 있는 광섬유 브래그 격자를 이용한 전류 센서를 제안하여 실험으로 구현하였다. Bus bar와 영구자석을 광섬유 격자로 연결하여 전류 인가 시, 연결된 두 소자 사이에서 발생하는 자기력에 의해 광섬유 브래그 격자의 브래그 파장이 변하게 된다. 실험 결과 500 A 직류 전류를 인가 시 브래그 파장은 650 pm의 변화를 보였다.

Real-time adaptive control of laser output polarization is presented in a 10-W-level non-polarization-maintaining (non-PM) fiber amplifier. While the output polarization from a non-PM fiber amplifier tends to be irregular, depending on output power, time, and perturbation, closed-loop polarization control can maintain the polarization extinction ratio at higher than 20 dB. Real-time polarization control can attain the target linear polarization mostly within 1.4-25 ms and shows stability against external perturbations. This approach can satisfy both linear polarization and high output power in a non-PM amplifier, and facilitates optimization of laser performance and maintenance-free operation.

The ±1-order Kelly sidebands with dispersion-dependent spacing of mode-locking fiber lasers are investigated for frequency-tunable terahertz signal generation. The principle of dispersion dependence of Kelly sidebands is analyzed. A new method, which is a dispersion-management mechanism introduced into the fiber-laser cavity, is proposed to generate Kelly sidebands with widely tunable wavelength spacing. A spacing tuning range of up to 28.46 nm of the ±1-order Kelly sidebands is obtained in simulation. Using the data of the optical spectrum with dispersion-dependent Kelly sidebands, the frequency spectrum of generated terahertz signals is calculated. Consequently, the signal frequency can be changed from 0.09 to 2.27 THz.

Pipelines play an important role in urban water supply and drainage, oil and gas transmission, etc. This paper presents a technique for pattern recognition of fiber optic vibration signals collected by a distributed vibration sensing (DVS) system using a deep learning residual network (ResNet). The optical fiber is laid on the pipeline, and the signal is collected by the DVS system and converted into a 64 × 64 single-channel grayscale image. The grayscale image is input into the ResNet to extract features, and finally the K-nearest-neighbors (KNN) algorithm is used to achieve the classification and recognition of pipeline damage.

주기적으로 분극 반전된 비선형 결정 중에 하나인 PPLN(Periodically Poled MgO(5%) doped Lithium Niobate)과 수 W급의 고출력 연속발진형 파장가변 적외선 레이저 시스템인 DOFA(Diode Laser Oscillator & Fiber Amplifier) 시스템을 이용하여, 이 결정에서 펌핑광을 한번 통과시키는 단일통과와 두 번 통과시키는 이중통과에서의 효율적인 제2고조파 발생 조건을 실험적으로 구하였다. 단일통과에서는 최적의 위상정합온도 $108.9^{\circ}C$에서 최대 출력 2.45 W의 적외선(파장 = 1070 nm) 펌핑광을 사용하여 최대 245 mW의 녹색광원(파장 = 535 nm)인 제 2고조파를 만들었고, 이때의 주파수 변환 효율은 10%였다. 또한 제 2고조파 발생의 효율을 증가시키기 위해서 되 반사용 오목거울과 위상보정을 위한 쐐기유리판을 이용하여 이중통과의 제2고조파 발생장치를 구성하였다. 이때 최적의 위상정합온도 $108.5^{\circ}C$에서 최대 출력 2.45 W의 적외선(파장 = 1070 nm) 펌핑광을 사용하여 최대 383 mW의 녹색광원(파장 = 535 nm)인 제 2고조파를 만들었다. 이때의 변환 효율은 15.6%로써 단일통과에서의 제 2고조파 발생 효율보다 크게 증가함을 확인하였다.

We report a passive Q-switching of an all-fiber erbium-doped fiber laser delivering high pulse energy by using a high quality single-walled carbon nanotube saturable absorber (SWCNT-SA). A side-polished fiber coated with the SWCNT is employed as an in-line SA for evanescent wave interaction between the incident light and the SWCNT. This lateral interaction scheme enables a stable Q-switched fiber laser that generates high pulse energy. The central wavelength of the Q-switched pulse laser was measured as 1560 nm. A repetition rate frequency of the Q-switched laser is controlled from 78 kHz to 190 kHz by adjusting the applied pump power from 124 mW to 790 mW. The variation of pulse energy from 51 nJ to 270 nJ is also observed as increasing the pump power. The pulse energy of 270 nJ achieved at maximum pump power is 3 times larger than those reported in Q-switched all-fiber lasers using a SWCNT-SA. The tunable behaviors in pulse duration, pulse repetition rate, and pulse energy as a function of pump power are reported, and are well matched with theoretical expectation.

This study proposes an optics-based active sensing system for continuous monitoring of underground pipelines in nuclear power plants (NPPs). The proposed system generates and measures guided waves using a single laser source and optical cables. First, a tunable laser is used as a common power source for guided wave generation and sensing. This source laser beam is transmitted through an optical fiber, and the fiber is split into two. One of them is used to actuate macro fiber composite (MFC) transducers for guided wave generation, and the other optical fiber is used with fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors to measure guided wave responses. The MFC transducers placed along a circumferential direction of a pipe at one end generate longitudinal and flexural modes, and the corresponding responses are measured using FBG sensors instrumented in the same configuration at the other end. The generated guided waves interact with a defect, and this interaction causes changes in response signals. Then, a damage-sensitive feature is extracted from the response signals using the axi-symmetry nature of the measured pitch-catch signals. The feasibility of the proposed system has been examined through a laboratory experiment.
