본 연구에서는 복합재료에 삽입된 광섬유센서의 인장하중하에서의 정적 물성치와 피로하중하에서의 동적 물성치를 실험적인 방법과 유한요소해석을 통하여 고찰하였다. 결과에 의하면 삽입된 광섬유센서는 인접한 강화섬유에 수직한 방향으로 삽입된 피로하중의 경우를 제외하고 복합재료의 기계적인 물성치에 큰 영향을 끼치지 않는다고 결론지을 수 있다. 광강도형 광섬유센서를 복합재료 적층판에 삽입하여 복합재 적층판의 강성저하를 측정함으로써 직교적층판 피로손상을 검출하였다. 이 실험의 결과에 의하면 광강도형 광섬유센서는 간단하고 저렴한 장치와 측정된 신호의 복잡한 후처리 과정이 필요 없다는 장점으로 인하여 구조물의 강성저하를 측정하여 피로손상을 감시하는데 있어서 큰 잠재력을 가진다고 할 수 있다. 또한 삽입된 광강도형 광섬유센서는 우수한 내 피로성과 넓은 강성측정 범위를 보였다.

In this paper, we present an in line plastic-optical-fiber (POF) temperature sensor based on intensity modulation. The in line POF temperature sensor is composed of a POF, including an in-fiber micro hole filled with reversible thermochromic material, the transmittance of which depends on temperature. The reversible thermochromic material was cobalt chloride/polyvinyl butyral gel. A cobalt chloride solution of concentration 30.8 mM was formulated using 10% water/90% ethanol (v/v) solution, and gelled by dissolving polyvinyl butyral in this solution. Four types of in line POF sensors, with in line micro holes of four different diameters, were fabricated to measure temperature in the range of 25 to 75 ℃. The output optical power of all of these in line POF temperature sensors was inversely proportional to the temperature; the relation between output power and temperature was approximately linear, and the sensitivity was proportional to the diameter of the in-fiber micro hole. The experimental results indicate that an in line POF sensor can be used effectively for measuring moderate temperatures.

A distributed optical fiber temperature sensor can continually monitor the measurand at every point along of its fiber length. It is based on OTDR technics which used extreamlly weak backward scattered light called Raman scattering. When the Pulsed high intensity laser light injected into the optical fiber there are several kind of backscattered light such as Rayleigh, Stokes, and anti-Stokes, etc. caused by impurities molecular vibrations. The temperature distribution is derived form the intensity ratio Raman scatted light-Stokes versus anti-Stokes-and the time function between light injection and signal detection. It is shown that the priniciple of distributed sensing, the system desing, and the result of experiments.

This paper reports a preliminary experimental investigation and characterization of an optical fiber-based submersion sensor system for applications in water flooding and leakage. The sensor system comprises a multi-mode fiber spliced with fiber Bragg grating and an intensity-based interrogator. Submersion tests were conducted in water-air and Glycerin-air environments. By the refractive index of the fiber-probe surrounding materials, the reflectance and the detecting power level is determined. When the probe is dipped into the water, the optical output power dramatically decreases from -7.5dBm to -17.5dBm. But, the center of Bragg wavelength is not affected in spite of external material changes. Temporal response characteristics of the sensor system is investigated to verify the real-time reaction. When the probe is immersed into the liquid, there is no transition time.

Based on Faraday effect, the variation of current flowing through the conductor can be encoded as that of azimuth angle of light polarization propagating through the fiber coil wound onto the conductor. The amount of current can be obtained by measuring the variation of the light intensity transformed from that of the azimuth angle through a polarization analyzer. In this paper we propose a fiber-optic current sensor system that employs a fiber polarization analyzer as a sensor interrogation device. The fiber polarization analyzer was prepared by inscribing a long-period fiber grating on a high birefringent fiber. At the fixed wavelength of 1522.5 nm, the fabricated fiber device has the polarization extinction ratio of more than 25 dB. The measurement of large current up to 600 Arms was accomplished based on a simple fiber interrogation device and the measurement output of the sensor system showed a good linearity.

Optical fiber sensors have been used to detect small amounts of chemical species. In this work, a new thin polymer-clad fiber sensor is developed. Polyaniline is chemically synthesized and thin clad layers of the polymer are easily deposited on optical fiber by dip-coating technique. The optical property of polyaniline as a sensing material is analyzed by UV-Vis-NIR. The light source is stabilized He-Ne laser at 635 nm wavelength with 1 mW power. The light power transmitted through the optical fiber is measured with a spectrophotometer. By selecting a fixed incident angle, variation of transmitted light intensity through the optical fiber can be detected as gas molecules absorbed in the polyaniline clad layer. Among the various gases, the fabricated optical fiber sensor shows good sensitivity to $NH_{3}$ gas. The optical fiber sensors was shown more improved properties than polymer based sensors which measure conductivity changes.

This paper presents a new type of optical silicon accelerometer using deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) and micro-stereolithography technology. Optical silicon accelerometer is based on a mass suspended by four vertical beams. A vertical shutter at the end of the mass can only moves along the sensing axis in the optical path between two single-mode optical fibers. The shutter modulates intensity of light from a laser diode reaching a photo detector. With the DRIE technique for (100) silicon, it is possible to etch a vertical shutter and beam. This ensures low sensitivity to accelerations that are not along the sensing axis. The microstructure for sensor packaging and optical fiber fixing was fabricated using micro stereolithography technology. Designed sensors are two types and each resonant frequency is about 15 kHz and 5 kHz.

In this study, we fabricated a plastic optical fiber based sensor which can monitor the respiration of a patient. The circumference changes of the abdomen were measured using a mirror, a light source and optical detectors because the circumferences of the abdomen could be varied with respiration. The intensity of the reflected lights were measured according to the changes of distance between mirror and plastic optical fiber connected to a light source and a photodiode-amplifier system using a Y-coupler. The respiration signals of fiber-optic sensor system were compared with those of the respiratory and temperature transducers of the $BIOPAC^{(R)}$ system. It is expected that a fiber-optic respiration sensor could be developed for real time respiration monitoring during MRI procedure based on this study.

본 논문에서는 자기기준 특성을 가지는 광세기 기반 광섬유 센서 구조를 제안하고 실험적으로 구현하여 성능을 제시한다. 제안하는 광섬유 센서는 광대역 광원(BLS), fiber Bragg grating (FBG), 가변 페브리-페로(Fabry-Perot) 필터, LabVIEW 프로그램으로 구성된다. 제안한 자기기준 광섬유 센서의 이론적인 해석을 통하여 측정 변수(X)와 보정 변수(${\beta}$)를 정의하고, 이를 바탕으로 전달함수(H)를 구한다. 또한 실험을 통하여 이론적인 해석의 타당성을 제시한다. 제안한 광섬유 센서 구조는 광대역 광원의 출력 광세기가 0 dB, 3 dB, 6 dB 감소해도 측정결과에 영향을 미치지 않는 자기기준 특성을 가진다. 또한 다른 특성의 FBG를 사용하여도 측정 가능하므로, 제안한 광섬유 센서 구조는 임의의 규격을 가진 FBG를 사용할 수 있다. 광원의 광세기가 감소하였을 때와 세 가지 다른 특성의 FBG 쌍을 이용하여 측정한 결과 이론적인 값과 잘 일치함을 보였다. 따라서 제안한 광섬유 센서는 자기기준 특성과 구성하는 FBG의 규격이 비교적 엄격하지 않아도 되는 장점을 가진다.

A fiber-optic liquid level sensor based on bending cantilever beam has been proposed. A fiber Bragg grating(FBG) embedded in the cantilever beam is used to sensing elements. The basic concept is elongation and constriction of the FBG corresponding to the liquid level variation. The best FBG position on the cantilever for obtaining the high sensitivity was 4 cm from the fixing point. When the liquid level moves up and down vertically, the Bragg wavelength is linearly shifted. But, the wavelength sensitivity of the FBG installed on the upper side of cantilever was four times better than that of the FBG equipped in the lateral side due to the difference of unit strain applied to the FBG. Intensity demodulation using the low-cost edge filter is used to interrogate the Bragg wavelength through converting the wavelength signals into the optical intensity ones. Experiment results show that the electrical output is exponentially proportional to the liquid level. But, it should be overcome for applying to the ships.
