We present both theoretically and experimentally the thermo-optic characteristics of micro-structured optical fiber (MOF) filled with mixed liquid. The performance of MOF depends on the efficient interaction between the fundamental mode of the transmitted light wave and the tunable thermo-optic materials in the cladding. The numerical simulation indicates that the confinement loss of MOF presents higher temperature dependence with higher air-filling ratios $d/{\Lambda}$, longer incident wavelength and fewer air holes in the cladding. For the 4cm liquid-filled grapefruit MOF, we demonstrate from experiments that different proportions of solutions lead to tunable temperature sensitive ranges. The insertion loss and the extinction ratio are 3~4 dB and approximate 20 dB, respectively. The proposed liquid-filling MOF will be developed as thermo-optic sensor, attenuator or optical switch with the advantages of simple structure, compact configuration and easy fabrication.

광주파수 변조 광섬유 간섭형 센서가 변위, 변형률 및 힘 등의 물리량을 측정하기 위하여 개발되어졌다. 일반적인 광섬유 간섭형 센서는 물리량에 따라 단지 정현파 형태의 신호를 보이기 때문에 물리량의 증감을 구별하는 것이 매우 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 물리량의 증감 방향을 구별하면서 물리량을 측정하기 위하여 단지 톱니파형으로 변조시킨 광원만을 사용하는 광섬유 마이켈슨 센서를 성하였다. 센서 출력은 일정한 정현파가 출력되도록 조절되어졌다. 출력신호는 일정 시간 간격동안 파형의 개수를 계수함에 의하여 처리되어졌다. 변형률은 파형 개수 변화량에 변형률을 구하기 위한 게이지 상수만을 곱함에 의하여 계산되었다. 이 센서의 변형률 측정 성능을 검토하기 위하여 광섬유 센서와 전기저항형 변형률 게이지가 부착된 알루미늄 시험편을 사용하여 만능시험기로 반복하중을 가하여 변형률의 증감을 측정하는 실험을 수행하였다. 이 실험으로부터 광섬유 센서에 의하여 측정된 변형률 변화량이 전기저항형 변형률 게이지의 변화량과 잘 일치하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 케이블의 굽힘 정도를 광섬유의 마이크로벤드 특성을 이용하여 측정할 수 있는 방법과 이를 적용한 실험 결과를 제시한다. 케이블의 양방향 굽힘 측정을 위해 굽힘시 동일한 강도와 크기의 마이크로벤드 현상을 광섬유에 일으킬 수 있는 새로운 형태의 구조를 설계하였고, 이를 반영한 측정 장치로 케이블의 곡률이 $0.1\;cm^{-1}$부터 $0.4\;cm^{-1}$인 범위 내에서 증가함에 따라 광신호의 크기가 감쇠함을 실험을 통해 확인하였다. 또한 제안된 센서의 분산측정 적용을 위해, OTDR을 이용하여 케이블의 곡률별로 구분된 굽힘 지점들에서 반사된 광 펄스 신호들의 크기를 측정하여 기준 측정값과의 비교를 통해 분산 센서로의 적용 가능성을 확인하였다.

In general, Cerenkov light is produced by a charged particle that passes through a medium with a velocity greater than that of visible light. Although the wavelength of Cerenkov light is very broad, the peak is in the almost visible range from 400 to 480 nm. Therefore, it always causes a problem to detect a real light signal that is generated in the scintillator on the fiber-optic sensor tip for dose measurements of high-energy electron beam. The objectives of this study are to measure, characterize and remove Cerenkov light generated in a fiber-optic radiation sensor tip to detect a real light signal from the scintillator. In this study, the intensity of Cerenkov light is measured and characterized as a function of incident angle of electron beam from a LINAC, and as a function of the energy of electron beam. As a measuring device, a photodiode-amplifier system is used, and a subtraction method using a background optical fiber is investigated to remove Cerenkov light.

When the charged particle travels in transparent medium with a velocity greater than that of light in the same medium, the electromagnetic field close to the particle polarizes the medium along its path, and then the electrons in the atoms follow the waveform of the pulse which is called as Cerenkov light or radiation. This type of radiation can be easily observed in a spent fuel storage pit. In optical fibers, the Cerenkov light also can be generated due to their dielectric components. Accordingly, the radiation-induced light signals can be obtained using optical fibers without any scintillating material. In this study, to measure the intensities of Cerenkov radiation induced by gamma-rays, we have fabricated the fiber-optic Cerenkov radiation sensor system using silica optical fibers, plastic optical fibers, multi-anode photomultiplier tubes, simulated spent fuel assembly and a scanning system. To characterize the Cerenkov radiation generated in optical fibers, the intensities of Cerenkov radiation generated in the silica and plastic optical fibers were measured. Also, we measured the longitudinal distribution of gamma rays emitted from the Ir-192 isotope by using the fiber-optic Cerenkov radiation sensor system and simulated spent fuel assembly.

Recently, a number of underground pipelines have been drastically increased. The integrity of these buried pipelines, especially gas transmitting pipelines, is of importance due to an explosive characteristic of natural gas. The third party damage is known as one of the most critical factor which causes fatal accidents. For this reason, a number of systems detecting third party damage are under development. The major concern in the development of third party damage detection system is to transmit vibration signals out of accelerometer to signal conditioner and data acquisition system without any interference caused by noise. The objective of this paper is to develope a fiber optic accelerometer applicable to third party damage detection system. A fiber optic accelerometer was developed by use of combining principles of one degree of freedom vibration model and an extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer. The developed fiber optic accelerometer was designed to perform with a sensitivity of 0.06mVg, a frequency range of less than 6kHz and an amplitude range of -200g to 200g. The developed, accelerometer was compared with a piezoelectric accelerometer and calibrated. In order to verify the developed accelerometer, the field experiment was performed. From the field experiment, vibration signals and the location of impact were successfully detected. The developed accelerometer is expected to be used for the third party damage detection system which requires long distance transmission of signals.

As a feasibility study on development of a gamma imaging probe, we developed a scintillating film-based gamma imaging detector that can obtain scintillation images with information of gamma-ray distribution. The scintillating film-based gamma imaging detector was composed of a sensing probe, an image intensifier, and a beam profiler. To detect and transmit scintillation image, the sensing probe was fabricated by coupling a scintillating film, a fiber-optic image conduit, and a fiber-optic taper, consecutively. First, the optical images of USAF 1951 resolution target were obtained and then, modulation transfer function values were calculated to test the image quality of the sensing probe. Second, we measured the scintillation images according to the activity of the 137Cs and the distance between the surface of 137Cs and the distal-end of sensing probe. Finally, the intensities of scintillating light as functions of the activity and the distance were evaluated from the region of interest in the scintillation image. From the results of this study, it is expected that a fiber-optic gamma imaging detector can be developed to detect gamma-rays emitted from radiopharmaceuticals during radioimmunoguided surgery.
