The deformations of concrete specimens were measured at early at early ages, in order to verify the applicability of FBG(Fiber Bragg Grating) sensors. The FBG sensors were directly buried at various locations in the beam-type RC specimens at the time of fabrication. In this experiment, the changes of strains in concrete at early age were successfully measured as the movement in wavelength of light signals. The FBG sensors may be a very effective tool to investigate the mechanical/thermal behavior inside of concrete structures.

A long-distance remote sensing of temperature and current based on a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is proposed and demonstrated. The thermal expanding effect of the epoxy and the Er-doped fiber ring laser (EFRL) are applied to the sensor system to enhance the temperature and current sensitivity. An EFRL with a 5 km-single-mode fiber and a FBG shows a high extinction ratio of more than 60 dB and a low power fluctuation of less than 1 dB. The metal wires are used to supply the current to the sensors. When the NOA65 puts on the FBG as a thermal expanding material, the temperature and current sensitivity of the lasing wavelength shift are about $30\;pm/^{\circ}C$ and 3pm/mA, respectively. The proposed sensing scheme is useful for measurement of current or temperature at a distant object of more than several km.

광섬유격자와 단방향성 광섬유 loop mirror를 이용하여 단일모드로 발진하는 erbium첨가 광섬유레이저를 구성하였다. 이득매질인 erbium첨가 광섬유를 단방향성 loop내에 둠으로써 레이저광이 이득매질내에서 진행파를 이루도록 하고 loop 밖에서 반사 선폭이 0.2nm인 광섬유격자로 파장선택적 귀환시켜 주는 방식으로 공진기를 구성하였다. 수동형 광섬유 링공진기 형태의 광스펙트럼 분석기를 별도로 구성하여 광섬유레이저의 모드 스펙트럼을 관찰한 결과, 외부 온도변화로 인한 분 단위의 모드 튐을 제외하고는 대부분의 시간에 안정적인 단일모드 및 단일편광 상태의 특성을 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper first takes advantage of a rigorous modal transmission-line theory (MTLT) to analyze the filtering properties of optical waves guiding by grating-assisted fiber couplers (GAFCs). The numerical results reveal that MTLT serves as a suitable and powerful approach to evaluate systematically the dispersion properties and the characteristics of optical power transfer in GAFCs.

할로우 코어 포토닉 밴드갭 광섬유(hollow core photonic bandgap fiber, HC-PBGF)와 광섬유 브래그 격자(fiber Bragg grating, FBG)를 이용하여 새로운 형태의 가스 검출 방식을 제안하였다. 제안하는 가스 측정 방식에서는 할로우 코어 포토닉밴드갭 광섬유에 채워진 가스의 흡수 스펙트럼을 우선 측정하고, 광섬유 브래그 격자를 파장 변조함으로써 얻어진 신호로부터 가스 농도에 대한 정보를 얻을 수 있다. 가스 측정 실험에서는 2m의 할로우 코어 포토닉 밴드갭 광섬유와 중심 파장이 1539.02nm인 광섬유 브래그 격자를 사용하였으며, 광섬유 브래그 격자의 반사파장을 1539.3nm에서 1539.6nm까지 2Hz의 주기로 가변하였다. 제안하는 가스센서는 2.5%, 5%의 아세틸렌가스를 선별적으로 잘 검출할 수 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The optical fiber is known for the proper sensor which can accomplish the structural health monitoring, Fiber Bragg Grating sensors are being studied more than any other fiber optic sensors due to good multiplexing capabilities. But because the signal stability of FBG sensors can be influenced by the strain gradient, it needs to analyze signal of FBG sensors. Particularly acoording to strain gradient induced by structural geometry or cracks, the spectrum peak of the FBG sensor signal can be split easily. In this paper, the spectrum analysis of the FBG sensor signal was performed and the region of embedment of FBG sensors was determined in $H_2$ pressure vessel by numerical method.

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.

We present a simple design rule for a passive temperature-compensating optical package. We also present experimentally that a package fabricated by using the design rule compensates the temperature dependence of the resonant wavelength of an optical long period fiber grating by varying the strain inside the fiber, The package fabricated in this work consists of two pieced of brass tube, 10 mm long, and a piece of nylon rod, 45.4 mm long. It is shown that the package can compensate the temperature-induce wavelength shifts of the long period grating to a range of 6.8 pm/$^{\circ}C$, compared with 0..48 nm/$^{\circ}C$ for an uncompensated grating. The reduced strength of the fiber caused by exposure to ultraviolet limits the performance of the package to the range operating temperature form -3 $^{\circ}C$ to 7$0^{\circ}C$.

We have evaluated the performance of strain-chirped fiber Bragg grating (FBG) based tunable dispersion compensator in a 40 Gb/s transmission link. In our proposed compensator, the value of dispersion could be changed from -353 ps/nm to -962 ps/nm by adjusting the rotation angle of the metal beam on which the FBG was mounted. In order to evaluate the effect of ripples in reflectivity and variations in passband of the FBG based dispersion compensator, transmission performance has been measured with our tunable dispersion compensator. Error-free transmission of a 40 Gb/s non-return-to-zero (NRZ) signal over conventional single-mode fiber (SMF) was achieved.
