A new hardware compensation method reducing displacement measurement errors, caused by tilt of index scale in moire linear encoders, has been developed. In conventional moire linear encoders, the detectors are aligned perpendicular to the line of moire fringes this structure is very sensitive to an unwanted tilt of the gratings. In this paper, a newly designed grating, called a phase-modulated grating, is developed to compensate for non-orthogonal errors. By using the phase-modulated grating instead of a conventional index, it is possible to reduce non-orthogonal errors of moire linear encoders.

본 논문에서는 새로운 구조의 파장가변 레이저 다이오드를 제안하였다. 제안된 레이저 다이오드는 추출격자 분포궤환 레이저 다이오드와 추출격자 분포 브래그 반사기가 집적된 구조로 되어 있다. 제안된 레이저 다이오드는 특정한 구조에서 27 nm정도의 광대역 파장가변이 가능함을 수치해석을 통해 확인하였다. 또한 이득영역에서 생성된 광파를 다른 수동영역을 거치지 않고 직접 광섬유에 결합시킬 수 있는 구조로 광효율이 기존의 레이저 다이오드에 비해 우수함을 확인하였다.

This paper shows the development of flexible force sensor using the fiber Bragg grating. This force sensor consists of a Bragg grating fiber and flexible silicone rubber (DC184, Dow corning co. Ltd). This sensor does not have special structure to maximize the deflection or elongation, but have good sensitivity and very flexible characteristics. In addition, this sensor has the immunity to the electro magnetic field and can be multiplexed easily, which is inherited from the characteristics of fiber Bragg grating sensor. In the future, this sensor can be utilized the tactile sensor system minimizing the sensor size and developing the fabrication method.

교량이나 배관과 같이 긴 길이의 구조물은 처짐 및 변형이 발생하기 쉽다. 이러한 구조물의 건전성 감시를 위해서는 국부적인 물리량 측정뿐만 아니라 전체의 형상 감시가 필요하다. 광섬유 브래그 격자(Fiber Bragg Grating; FBG) 센서는 광섬유에 다수의 센서 적용이 가능하여 대형 구조물 감시에 효과적이다. 본 연구에서는 FBG를 이용하여 구조물의 다점에서 변형률을 측정하고, 이를 바탕으로 구조물 전체의 형상 추정을 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 구조물의 정확한 감시가 가능하도록 3차원의 형상 추정을 연구하고 실험적 검증을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 구조물의 변형에 따른 형상 변화의 추정이 가능함을 확인하였고, 추가로 특정 위치에서의 처짐량을 실제 마이크로미터로 측정한 값과 예측된 값을 비교하여 검증하였다.

An active compensation method for the deformation of composite structures using additional controllable metal parts is proposed, and its feasibility is experimentally investigated in a simulated space environment. Composite specimens are tested in a vacuum chamber, which is able to maintain pressure on the order of 10-3 torr and interior temperature in the range of ${\pm}30^{\circ}C$. The displacement-measuring interferometer system, which consists of a heterodyne HeNe laser and an interferometer, is used to measure the displacement of the whole structure. Meanwhile, the strain of the composite part and temperature of both parts are measured by fiber Bragg grating sensors and thermistors, respectively. The displacement of the composite structure is maintained within a tolerance of ${\pm}1{\mu}m$ by controlling the elongation of the metal part, which is bonded to the end of the composite part. Also, the possibility of fiber Bragg grating sensors as control input sensors is successfully demonstrated using a proper corrective factor based on the specimen temperature gradient data.

광섬유 센서 중 대표적인 FBG센서를 철도 구조물에 실제 적용하기 위해서는, 센서 자체의 기계적 강도에 대한 내구성이 확증되어야 하고, 철도 구조물의 파손 시까지 FBG 센서가 측정치를 측정할 수 있도록 충분한 변형률 한도를 가져야만 한다. 본 논문에서는 FBG센서의 기계적 강도에 영향을 미치는 변수들에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 기계적 인장 강도 시험을 위한 시험 셋업을 구성하였고, 광섬유의 광민감성을 증진하기 위해 사용된 수소함침법과 코팅층을 제거하기 위한 피복 제거기법을 사용한 FBG 센서의 인장 강도 변화를 시험 및 통계 처리를 이용하여 측정하였고, 강도저하가 거의 없음을 보여 주었다.

Modified illumination techniques have been used to enhance the resolution of the sub-wavelength lithography. But, since they shield the central part of incident light, the light efficiency is seriously degraded, which in turn reduces the throughput of a lithography process. In this research, we introduced an annular illumination structure that enhances the light efficiency with a concentric circular grating at the backside of a photomask. The efficiency of the structure was theoretically analyzed.

We proposed a poly-dimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-coated fiber Bragg grating (FBG) temperature sensor for enhancing temperature sensitivity. By embedding the bare FBG in a temperature-sensitive elastomeric polymer, the temperature sensitivity of the proposed structure could be effectively improved by 4.2 times higher than those of the conventional bare-type FBG sensors due to the high thermal expansion coefficient of the PDMS. We analyzed the temperature-sensitivity enhancement effect with the increased Bragg wavelength shift in our structure and dependence on the temperature sensitivity with respect to the cross-section area of the PDMS.

$\lambda$/4 phase-shifted DFB lasers with nonideal grating structure have been studied by using an effective-index transfer matrix method where material dispersion, vwaveguide dispersion and waveguide-structuredependent loss are taken into consideration. Nonideal grating structure in the center phase-shift region does not incur serous degradation of laser characteristics. Phase-shift error from the ideal shift of $\pi$ causes a decrease in the threshold gain difference and lasing wavelength shift and should be less than $\pi$/4 when residual facet reflectivity is 0.7%. also, positional error of the phase-shift should be less than 9% of the cavity length in order for the threshold gain difference to be decreased less than 10%.

Amorphous As-Ge-Se-S thin films have been studied with the aim of identifying optimum etching condition which can be used to produce holographic grating structure for use as diffractive optical elements. In this study, holographic gratings have been formed using He-Ne laser(632.8nm), and fabricated by the method of wet etching using NaOH etchant with various concentration(0.26N, 0.33N, 0.40N). The diffraction efficiency was obtained by +1st order intensity of the diffracted beam. The formed grating profiles were observed by atomic force microscope and showed that the expected grating profile could be achieved by controlling the etching time. Over-etching resulted in under-cutting of the grating lines. The highest 1st order diffraction efficiency for these gratings was about 5.05%.
