  • This paper presents an attitude determination scheme for the Science and Technology Satellite-2(STSAT-2) using Fine Digital Sun Sensor(FDSS). The FDSS has been developed for STSAT-2, and exhibits the accuracy of 0.032degree in $1{\sigma}$. To be specific, the attitude information from the sensor is exploited to compensate for Fiber Optic Gyro(FOG) mounted on STSAT-2, and Kalman filter model is derived and implemented. To show the effectiveness of the present compensation scheme, computer simulations have been carried out resulting in the attitude errors within a bound.

  • The railway in Korea has been one of important transportation means as the introduction of high-speed train and progress in subway systems. Also, as increases in the speed of train, the guarantee of safety becomes more important, especially, in the fields of railway vehicles and/or facilities. The structural health evaluation for the prevention and diagnosis of the accidents could be conducted using several types of nondestructive evaluation techniques such as ultrasonic developed using infrared thermography or optic fiber sensors. In this paper, the recent progress in structural health evaluation for railway systems has been introduced, and the case studies have been discussed.

  • WDM(wavelength-division multiplexing) 광통신 네트웍을 이루는 핵심기술중의 하나는 ADF(Add-drop Filter)의 구현에 있다. 광섬유격자와 여러형태의 구조를 이용한 ADF들 중에서도 비대칭 결합기와 광섬유 격자를 이용한 구조는, 간섭계 구조가 아니기 때문에 제작이 용이하고 보다 안정된 특성을 보일 것으로 기대되어 많은 관심을 갖게 하고 있다$^{(1)}$ . 비대칭 결합기 구조의 경우, 두 광도파로의 코어반경이나 굴절율 분포가 서로 다르기 때문에, 일반적으로 광파의 결합이 일어나지 않는다. 그러나 브래그 격자의 반사조건을 만족하는 파장성분의 경우 입력단(input port)에서 드롭단(drop port)으로 반사되어 나오고, 그 외의 파장성분은 출력단(Output port)으로 나오게 되어 드롭 기능을 수행하게 된다. 비슷한 원리로 add port에서 출력단으로의 add 기능도 수행된다. 본 논문에서는 연산자 분리 시영역 모델$^{(2)}$ 을 이용하여 비대칭구조에서의 파장응답 특성을 해석하였다. 또한 최적화를 위한 조건을 알아 보고, 소자 설계에 필요한 파라미터를 정의하여 최적설계에 필요한 파라미터를 구하였다.

  • A new digital serrodyne (DS) signal processor for the close-loop fiber optic gyroscope was designed and implemented. It is based on a new algorithm that can solve the remaining problems of the existing digital serrodyne processing by utilizing a new modulation wavefonn. The algorithm was implemented in an FPGA and tested. Theoretical limit and experimental value of the random walk were measured to be 2.6 and 3.3 deg/hr/$\sqrt{Hz}$, respectively. And drift of the processor is smaller than that by Shupe's effect.effect.

  • 레이저 다이오드 구동 전류펄스기간의 발진주파수 변조와 간섭계 출력신호의 시간지연 샘플링을 이용하여 3x3 coupler등과 같은 특수 광부품을 사용하지 않고도 1개씩의 광원과 광검출기를 이용하여 측정신호의 변화방향과 함께 half fringe의 수를 count할 수 있으며 광연결선 주변환경의 변화에 의한 세기변화 에러도 피할 수 있는 간섭형 센서를 위한 새로운 신호처리방식을 제안하고 이 방식을 거울내장형 FP간섭계를 이용한 온도센서에 적용하였다. 온도센서소자로 cavity length가 1cm인 FP간섭계를 이용하여 실온에서 360.deg.C에 걸쳐 분해능 2.7.deg.C로 측정하였으며 이때 최대측정속도는 $ 1.378*10^{5}$.deg.C/sec로 계산되었다. 이 방식에서 분해능과 최대측정속도는 반비례 관계를 가지며 감지 광섬유의 길이에 비례하여 분해능을 높일 수 있다. 또한 6개까지의 센서소자를 한개의 광원과 광검출기로 모니터하는 다중화 센싱 또한 가능한 신호처리 방식으로써 불평형 간섭계를 이용한 모든 종류의 센서에 대해 적용이 가능하다.

  • We investigate the efficiency of an optical intensity modulator based on an electrically tunable $LiNbO_3$ reflection grating. Assuming a grating coupling coefficient and the waveguide propagation loss, waveguide length is varied to find its effect on the modulator slope efficiency and the device capacitance. With the low propagation loss of the $LiNbO_3$ waveguide, a very efficient optical intensity modulator can be achieved for a low frequency (${\sim}1GHz$) as long as the requirement for the grating coupling coefficient is satisfied.

  • The study on a surface transformation hardening of a rod-shaped SM45C carbon steel is carried out by using CW Nd:YAG laser. Conventionally, $CO_2$ laser has been usually used as a laser source for a transformation hardening. however, it is needed to an additional absorbent coating like a colloidal graphite owing to a lower absorbtion rate. On the other hand, no cost and post-removal process of coating is required to Nd:YAG laser, due to a higher absorbtion rate relatively. Moreover, there is a merit which is capable of building up the more flexible processing system resulted from a beam delivery through a optical fiber. In this study, we were going to recognize characteristics of a transformation hardening using a optic head with a gaussian beam distribution.

  • A neural network method is applied for recognizing the orientation o f individual parts being fed from a bowl feeder. The system is designed in such a way that a part can be discriminated and sorting according to every possible stable orientation without implementing any a mechanical tooling. The operation of the bowl feeder is based on a 2D image obtained from an array of fiber optic sensor located on the feeder track. The acquired binary image of a moving and vibrating part is used as input to a neural network which, in turn, determines t he orientation of the part. The main task of the neural network, here is to synthesize the appropriate internal discriminant functions for the part orientation using the part features. A series of the experiments reveals several promising points on performance. Since the operation of the feeder is highly programmable, it is well suited for feeding and sorting small parts prior to small batch assembly work.
