A displacement measurement system that uses fiber-optical common-path interferometry has been developed. The system includes fiber-optic devices and a collimator attached to a linear translation stage. The interferometry effect was detected with a photodetector whose signal was measured on an oscilloscope. Experiments showed that vibration of the stage disturbed the signal by causing nanoscale interference. Under stable conditions, the measured distance was the almost the same as the value calculated from the linear translation stage parameters.

Due to the trend of evolution toward a broadband communication network with fiber-optics, the design and operation of fiber-optic network have been received a great deal of research attention recently. Furthermore, even a single fiber link failure in the network may result in severe service loss. Thus, the network survivability becomes an importantissue in planning and designing the network. This survey is on modelling of various fiber-optic subscriber loop network(FSLN) design problems, which are essential ones for providing broadband communication services and B-ISDN services. Models are classified and investigated as either conventional decomposition-iteration approach or integrated design method. To build survivable networks, SHR models are also suggested by ring control schemes. The result of this study will be effectively applied to build a design model for FSLN in the practical applications.

We report on comparative results obtained from harmonically mode-locked laser operations of ring-type and figure-of-eight(F8) type erbium-doped fiber lasers by using a directional-coupler type electro-optic modulator as an active mode-locker. The mode-locked and transform-limited pulses of 10.6 ps width were obtained at harmonics of the fundamental cavity frequency with the F8 type laser while mode-locked laser pulses greater than 15 ps were achieved with the ring type laser.

A novel fiber optic solution is provided to efficiently mix visible colors. Full color synthesis was achieved utilizing a novel $3{\times}1$ hard polymer clad fiber (HPCF) coupler along with red, green and blue (RGB) light emitting diode (LED) primaries. Varying the intensities of RGB LEDs that are coupled to three input ports, the device rendered a full color with an ultra wide CIE color gamut. Potential applications in pica-projection displays and LED backlights will be discussed.

We have composed an experimental system using the superposition method to measure the nonlinearity of photodetectors for optical fiber power measurements. Also we have measured the nonlinearity of a high power detector and of a low power detector. The two detectors have shown good linearity within 0.01% and 0.02%, respectively, in the 50 ㏈ dynamic range. These detectors are used as reference detectors in optical fiber characteristics measurements.

A new cavity configuration for passive mode locking of fiber laser is proposed and demonstrated. It consists of a dichroic mirror at one end of the cavity, and a nonlinear loop mirror, which is a Sagnac loop, at the other end. The experimental observations are described for both Er-doped fiber laser and Nd-doped fiber laser. laser.

A fiber-optic matched filter with Cr/ Au film-deposited fiber-optic delay lines is fabricated for a possible application as photonic packet address detectors for an all-optical slotted ring network. Correlation waveforms for a set of 6-bit address codes with 2.5 Gb/s are produced by simulation. It is shown that the measured correlation outputs agree well with the calculated ones.d ones.

We have constructed a scanning confocal microscope by directly oscillating an optical fiber in two different ways. Either a piezoelectric transducer or a tuning fork was used for the oscillation. Six frames of $640{\times}480$ pixel image were obtained in a second with piezoelectric oscillation and only one image of the same size was obtained in a second with tuning fork oscillation. Oscillation of optical fiber did not cause amy distortion of confocal images.

In this paper, a study on a portable hydrogen alarm system based on the palladium coated single mode fiber sensor has been reported. The fabricated hydrogen sensor exhibited 0.14 dB, 0.41 dB and 0.54 dB optical intensity variation when it was exposed by the nitrogen and hydrogen mixed gas containing 0.5 %, 1 % and 4 % of the hydrogen concentration, respectively. The fabricated sensor exhibited 20 second of response time and 120 second of recovery time for 4 % hydrogen containing gas. The fiber optics layout and software algorithm for detection of hydrogen leakage have been presented. The implanted portable hydrogen alarm system successfully generated an alarm signal when a 4 % hydrogen containing gas was leaked out.
