In this study, we have fabricated a gain flattened erbium-doped optical fiber amplifier. Gain flattening filters were realized by the strain-induced long period fiber gratings, which are made of periodically arrayed metal wires. Using the filter of $550{\mu}m$ period, spontaneous emission amplified at C-band wavelength by a 980nm pumping laser was flattened within 1dB of gain ripple. The performance of the simultaneous multi channel amplification was measured using a fabry-perot laser diode. Amplification ratio was above 20dB. This amplifier can be applied to the long distance transmission system based on a wavelength division multiplexing for boosting an attenuated signal.

Fiber Bragg grating which has a blazed ang1e to the plane of incident wave generates a side-mode as well as main-mode. The side-mode has an identical characteristics with a long period grating that couples with a cladding mode, so rejects the special wavelength. We experimented on the side-mode characteristics with two fibers which Ge doped depressed index fiber and very high photosensitive H$_2$ loaded step index fiber according to the tilted angle. Also, using a phase mask equipped with rotation plate which has 0.02$^{\circ}$ resolution, we can control the bandwidth and the peak value of a total loss spectrum by aligned tilted grating in a fiber and using this, tried to compose the ASE band rejection filter of the Erbium doped fiber amplifier.

광섬유 격자는 WDM 광시스템의 필터뿐만 아니라 센서로도 많은 연구가 되고 있다. 이 경우 필수적인 것이 유효굴절률에 대한 해석이다. 유효굴절률은 광섬유의 코어와 클래딩의 굴절률과 반지름에 따른 수치해석을 통해서도 구할 수 있다. 수치해석과정에서 필수적인 것이 파장에 따른 굴절률을 계산할 수 있는 Sellmeier식이다$^{(1)}$ . 본 연구에서는 광섬유격자 쌍을 이용하여 광섬유의 유효굴절률을 클래딩 모드수에 따라 측정할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 제시한다. (중략)

The transmission characteristics of multiply cascaded phase-shifted long-period fiber gratings(LPFGs) were investigated theo-retically and experimentally. Their passband can be changed by increasing the number of p-shifted LPFGs. When two p-shifted LPFGs with different grating lengths are cascaded in series, the bandwidth of the rejection band and passband can be controlled by the pristine characteristics of two gratings. We also investigate the transmission characteristics of phase-shifted LPFG by exposing the half of LPFG region to UV laser. The transmission characteristics strongly depend on the initial coupling strength of the LPFG.

The transmission characteristics of multi-channel long period fiber gratings (LPFGs) in terms of the physical parameters like the separation distance, grating length and number of gratings will be discussed. Their transmission characteristics such as channel spacing, number of channels, loss peak depth, and channel bandwidth can be easily controlled by physical parameters. Based on the experimental results, their applications to optical multiwavelength Raman lasers and optical sensors will be investigated. A multiwavelength Raman fiber ring laser with 9 WDM channels with 100 ㎓ spacing and 19 channels with 50 ㎓ spacing using tunable multi-channel LPFGs will be experimentally demonstrated. The fiber-optic sensing applications with high resolution and sensitivity based on multi-channel LPFGs will be also presented.

최근 통신 서비스의 증가에 따라 대용량의 전송 용량이 요구되고 있으며, 이에 대한 해결책으로 파장분할다중(WDM) 방식의 광전송에 관한 많은 연구가 수행되었다. EDFA는 1550 nm 근처에서 이득 영역을 가지고 있기 때문에 장거리 광통신 시스템에 주된 광증폭기로 사용되고 있으나 파장에 따른 이득이 서로 다르게 나타나기 때문에, WDM 시스템에 이용하기 위해서는 EDFA의 이득 평탄화가 필요하며, 이에 대한 다양한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. (중략)

The fabrication process of thin boron-doped nanocrystalline diamond (B-NCD) microelectrodes on fused silica single mode optical fiber cladding has been investigated. The B-NCD films were deposited on the fibers using Microwave Plasma Assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition (MW PA CVD) at glass substrate temperature of 475 ℃. We have obtained homogenous, continuous and polycrystalline surface morphology with high sp³ content in B-NCD films and mean grain size in the range of 100-250 nm. The films deposited on the glass reference samples exhibit high refractive index (n=2.05 at λ=550 nm) and low extinction coefficient. Furthermore, cyclic voltammograms (CV) were recorded to determine the electrochemical window and reaction reversibility at the B-NCD fiber-based electrode. CV measurements in aqueous media consisting of 5 mM K₃[Fe(CN)₆] in 0.5 M Na₂SO₄ demonstrated a width of the electrochemical window up to 1.03 V and relatively fast kinetics expressed by a redox peak splitting below 500 mV. Moreover, thanks to high-n B-NCD overlay, the coated fibers can be also used for enhancing the sensitivity of long-period gratings (LPGs) induced in the fiber. The LPG is capable of measuring variations in refractive index of the surrounding liquid by tracing the shift in resonance appearing in the transmitted spectrum. Possible combined CV and LPG-based measurements are discussed in this work.
