In this paper, to detect exciting frequency on the latticed fence structure, fiber optic sensor using Sagnac interferometer was fabricated and tested. The latticed structure fabricated with dimension of 180 cm wide and 180 cm high, the optical fiber, 50 m in length, distributed and fixed on the latticed structure. Single mode fiber, a laser with 1,550 m wavelength, and $3{\times}3$ coupler were used. Excited vibration signal applied to the latticed structure from 200 Hz to 1 KHz. The detected optical signals were compared to the detected acceleration signals and analyzed on the time and frequency domain. Based on the experimental results, fiber optic sensor using Sagnac interferometer detected exciting frequency, effectively. This system can be applied to the structural health monitoring system.

In order to provide electricity to users economically and safely, distribution automation systems (DASs) monitor and operate components of distribution systems remotely through communication networks. The fiber optic communication network has been mainly installed for the DAS of Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) because of its huge bandwidth and dielectric noise immunity. However, the fiber optic communication network has some shortcomings that its installation cost and communication fee are expensive. This paper proposes a complex network where WLANs are combined with conventional fiber optic communication networks in order to expand DAS easily and inexpensively. A fixed wireless bridge communication unit (FWB-CU) for the proposed complex network is implemented using IEEE 802.11a WLAN technology. The proposed complex network is built actually to verify its feasibility experimentally as a DAS communication network.

Various etching methods of optical fiber and formation of metal nano particles on the optical fiber have been proposed for fabrication of fiber optic localized surface plasmon resonance (FO LSPR) biosensors. Different types of etched optical fiber are possible by removing the cladding of optical fiber using HF (hydrofluoric acid) solution and BHF (buffered hydrofluoric acid) solution, which results in improved surface roughness when BHF solution is used. Localized surface plasmon can be formed and measured by formation of silver and gold nano particles on the etched optical fiber. The characteristics of the etched optical fiber and metal nano particles on the etched surface of the optical fiber play a key role in dictating the sensitivity of the LSPR sensors, so that the proposed results can be expected to be applied for related research on fiber optic based biosensors.

This paper reports the principle, design, configuration, and test results of the fiber optic security system using multimode fiber. In this system, optical fiber works as a sensing element. The length of sensing element may be from several meters to several killometers. Physical principle of this system is the dependence of interferometric pattern on the end of the fiber on mechanical perturbation in the area, where this fiber is situated. Near and far field patterns of the output light for multimode fiber are speckle pattern. A number of speckles on the fiber depends on mode numbers. Light intensity in each point of the fiber end depends on phase difference of modes. Finally we introduced a "Fiber Optic Security System based on Multimode" Fiber which we developed, it may be available in the field of the important area and building.

A fiber-optic pressure sensor is fabricated with a photoelastic glass material. To remove the influence of external pertubation along the optical fiber, a new referencing technique is proposed by using two light sources. LED with 870nm wavelength is used as light source for reference signal, and LED with 660nm wavelength is used as light source for modulation signal. The fiber-optic pressure sensor system shows good linearity within the pressure range of 0 to 5 $kg/cm^2$.

In this study, a fiber optic air-backed mandrel hydrophone has been constructed and performance of acoustic signal detection has been measured. The hydrophone is based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with 35 m of sensing fiber. The sensitivity is measured up to -128 dB re rad/$\mu$ Pa in range from 1.4 kHz to5 kHz. A system with this design of hydrophone may be applied to detect low frequency underwater acoustic signals.

본 연구에서는 광섬유 케이블을 이용한 콘크리트 구조물의 균열 탐사 방법을 개발하였다. 광통신 분야에서 광섬유 케이블의 손상을 탐지하기 위해 널리 사용하고 있는 광신호 분석기인 OTDR과 일반 통신용 광섬유 케이블을 사용하여 콘크리트의 표면 및 내부에 발생한 균열의 탐사 실험을 수행하였다. 콘크리트가 균열 하중에 부과되어 초기 균열을 발생시킬 때 미리 부착된 광섬유가 균열의 위치에서 균열 거동을 함께 함으로써 손상을 입게 되어 균열의 발생 유무와 위치를 찾고자 하였다. 균열을 탐사하는데 있어 광섬유의 탈피 정도가 균열 탐사 여부를 결정짓는 가장 주요한 인자라고 파악하였으며, 예비 실험을 포함한 4차례의 실내 검증 실험을 통하여 균열을 탐사할 수 있었다. 이 연구 결과는 콘크리트 구조물의 균열 관리와 유지관리 차원으로의 활용도가 크다고 판단된다.

E (Electric) -glass fibers are the most widely used glass fibers, taking up 90 % of the long glass fiber market. However, very few papers have appeared on the physical characteristics of E-glass fibers and how they depend on the fiberizing temperature of fiber spinning. Glass fiber was fabricated via continuous spinning process using bulk E-glass. In order to fabricate the E-glass specimen, raw materials were put into a Pt crucible and melted at $1550^{\circ}C$ for 2hrs; mixture was then annealed at $621{\pm}10^{\circ}C$ for 2hrs. The transmittance and adaptable temperature for spinning of the bulk marble glass were characterized using a UV-visible spectrometer and a viscometer. Continuous spinning was carried out using direct melting spinning equipment as a function of the fiberizing temperature in the range of $1175{\sim}1250^{\circ}C$, while the winder speed was fixed at 500 rpm. Subsequently we investigated the physical properties of the E-glass fiber. The average diameter of the synthesized glass fiber was measured by optical microscope. The mechanical properties of the fiber were confirmed using a UTM (universal materials testing machine); the maximum tensile strength was measured and found to be $1843{\pm}449MPa$ at $1225^{\circ}C$.
