In this study, structural deformation estimation using displacement-strain relationship is investigated. When displacements of a structure cannot be measured directly, estimation of displacements using strain data can be an alternative solution. Additionally, the deformation of the whole structure as well as the displacement at the point of interest can be estimated. Strain signals are obtained front Fiber Bragg Grating(FBG) sensors that have an excellent multiplexing ability. Some experiments were performed on two beams and a plate to which FBG sensors were attached in the laboratory. Strain signals from FBG sensors along a single strand of optical fiber were obtained through wavelength division multiplexing(WDM) method. The beams and the plate structures were subjected to various loading conditions, and deformed shapes were reconstructed from the displacement-strain transformation relationship. The results show good agreements with those measured directly from laser sensors. Moreover, the whole structural shapes of the beams and the plate were estimated using only some strain sensors.

In order to effectively utilize the Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing(CWDM) technology in optical integrated devices, a design of a wavelength selective coupler structure between an optical fiber and an optical waveguide in a flat substrate is can be considered. In this paper, we consider the coupling between a silicon waveguide with an air trench and a single mode fiber. We investigated the tendency of coupling efficiency and its limitations according to the grating depth. For this purpose, the coupling efficiency of coupler structure designed through modeling based on coupled mode theory is predicted and quantitatively compared with simulation results using finite element method.

We propose a novel structure of wavelength selective optical add/drop module comprising two tap couplers and a fiber Bragg grating. The device has unique features including a simpler structure and a lower cost of implementation as compared with existing devices for the same operation. The module performance has been measured and analyzed experimentally. The implemented prototype module shows good performance with no-crosstalk power penalty in a 155 Mbps per channel wavelength-division-multiplexing transmission system but suffers from a relatively high loss of 3.5 ㏈ and 21 ㏈ for transmitted and dropped channels, respectively. While the dropped channel extinction ratio was more than 25 ㏈, the transmitted channel extinction ratio was more than 35 ㏈.

In a direct sea water electrolysis system, deposits on the electrode cause decrease in the performance and increase in electrode damage. To reduce the deposition on the electrode, the modified cells were developed, namely: replaced grating type anodes with plate type ones; reduced the number of anodes from 9 to 8; widened the electrode gap from 2.4 mm to 3.0 mm; and reduced the number of spacers. that maintained the electrode gap, from 27 to 10. The developed cells were installed and tested at a power plant. The modified cells reduced deposition by 36~60%. The current efficiency increased by 15~20%. The electricity consumption reduced by 20%. In each case, the comparisons were between the modified cells and standard cells.

In this research, for the smart health monitoring of the hydrogen storage high pressure composite vessel, the feasibility study of an embedded fiber Bragg grating(FBG) sensor is carried out. To verify strain measurement in various temperature environment which is needed for the hydrogen pressure vessel, tensile test of a composite specimen with both an embedded FBG sensor and a strain gauge is made in low temperature. Before we try a real-size hydrogen storage pressure vessel, a small & cheap composite pressure vessel having the same structure is fabricated with embedded FBG sensors and tested. In the case of an aluminum liner inside the vessel, survivability of FBG sensors at the interface is lower than the other areas.

We fabricated a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) by direct laser-writing of a quasi-phase-matching (QPM) structure in photolithographic process. Because we do not need to prepare a photomask by electron-beam writing, the "maskless" process shortens the fabrication time and significantly reduces the cost. We evaluated the poling quality of the direct laser-written PPLN by measuring the diffraction noise from the surface relief pattern of the fabricated QPM grating and comparing the results to those from a conventional PPLN made with a photomask. The quality of the PPLN fabricated by direct laser-writing was shown to be equivalent to that fabricated by the conventional method.

A new code structure for spectral-amplitude-coding optical CDMA based upon reconstructed modified double weight codes is proposed. The newly proposed code possesses ideal cross-correlation properties. By using fiber Bragg grating(FBG) in front of optical decoder, we can get the improved performance of the proposed system with the consideration of phase-induced intensity noise(PIIN).

By using an equivalent network based on Floquet's theorem and bisection principle, the optical properties of planar DFB guiding structure are evaluated. The optical parameters, such as Bragg condition and the reflectivity as a function of grating period, are numerically calculated. The numerical results reveal that this method offers a simple and convenient algorithm to analyze the optical characteristics of DFB configurations.

We propose an asymmetric sampled grating laser and a multi-wavelength laser array associated with it. Asymmetric sampling periods combined with an index shifter make it possible to use first order reflection for lasing operations. With the structure of our design, we achieved a simple fabrication procedure as well as a high yield without using complex and time-consuming e-beam lithography for multi-period gratings. We analyzed the effect of mirror coating by numerical analysis to improve single mode and power extraction performance. By using high reflection-antireflection coatings, we obtained high power extraction efficiency without degradation of the single mode property. For the multi-wavelength laser array, to gain wavelength control, we varied the sampling periods from one laser to an adjacent laser across the array. With this approach, we showed the feasibility of an array of up to 30 channels with 100 GHz wavelength spacing.

The direction of software programming which increases stability and perfon11ance of the aircraft with the FBG sensor system was also examined.
