광센서로 이용되는 광섬유 브라고 격자(이하 FBG)는 주변 환경에 대한 반응을 공진파장의 이동으로 나타내기 때문에 이것을 측정하기 위해서는 광 스펙트럼 분석기(OSA)가 반드시 필요하다 그러나 상용화된 광 스펙트럼 분석기는 고가이며 부피가 커서 광섬유 격자가 광센서로 상용화되는데 걸림돌이 되어 왔다. 이런 단점을 보완하기 위해서 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔으며 그 중에서 가장 잘 알려진 기술로는 Mach-Zehnder Inteferometer(MZI) 같은 간섭계를 이용한 방법과 Fabry-Perot (FP) filter, acousto-optic filter, FBG-based filters 등과 같은 변조기를 사용하여 광신호를 전기 신호로 바꿔 실시간으로 측정하는 방법들이 있다.

The wavelength variation of a scanned fiber laser is analyzed using quadrature sampling technique. By time delayed sampling of a phase modulated Mach-Zender interferometer, the wavelength information can be precisely determined regardless of the nonlinearity in the Fabry-Perot wavelength filter which scanned the fiber laser. A wavelength readout resolution of ～20 pm was obtained at 2 KHz M-Z modulation frequency, and it was shown that the resolution could be improved in case of using an electro-optic phase modulator.

A triplexer based on a silica planar lightwave circuit Mach-Zehnder nterferometer(MZI) is proposed and its characteristics are analyzed through simulations. To separate 1310 nm band and $1480{\sim}1560nm$ band properly, the path length difference of an MZI is set to be the multiple and half of the wavelength 1310 nm and the balance of the directional coupler is optimized in the $1480{\sim}1560nm$ band. The same MZI is additionally cascaded to provide good crosstalk characteristics. The 1490 nm band and 1550 nm band are further separated using additional two stage MZI's. A three-dimensional BPM and transfer matrix method analysis predicts the low crosstalk characteristics and the fabrication-error-tolerance of the proposed triplexer.

In this paper, 8-channel multiplexer with 100GHz channel spacing is fabricated. The 8-channel multiplexer is fabricated by connecting three cascaded Mach Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) of optical fiber type, and each interferometer has the wavelength interval of 100GHz, 200GHz and 400GHz, respectively. furthermore, to acquire uniform insertion loss, it is fabricated by using Wavelength Flatten Coupler (WFC) in which the variation of insertion loss is low. Especially, the variation of wavelength interval in the output is explicitly simulated as a function of optical path difference, and the wavelength coupling process along with cascaded connection is discussed. $CO_2$ laser to adjust precisely the wavelength.

We have studied the generation of an array of dark spatial solitons in a self-deforcusing medium. Unlike a single fundamental dark spatial soliton, we show numerically that the generation of an array of dark spatial solitons from a spatially sinusoidal input beam needs an adiabatic amplification of nonlinear refractive index with the beam propagation distance. In experiment, we establish a Mach-Zehnder interferometer for making the sinusoidal input beam and use a cylindrical lens for the adiabatic amplification. We observe that the dark soliton's dip-width becomes narrower and the background intensity distribution becomes flatter with increasing the nonlinearity.

The holographic measurement techniques can be applied to various industrial fields such as automobile, airplane, construction, electronics, medical, mechanics and physics. The visualization of fluids is very important in aerodynamics, heat transfer and stress analysis. There are classically optical methods such as shadowgraph, schlieren method, and Mach-Zehnder interferometry for visualizing the fluid flow phenomena. But, it is difficult to understand the continuous state of fluids well in those methods. In this study, the real-time holographic interferometer with high-speed camera is applied to the flow visualization. In addition, collimated laser beam and rotating wedge are used for recording and formation of carrier fringes, respectively.

An numerical and experimental study has been performed on natural convection heat transfer from a horizontal heat exchanger tube with a fin. At s bare tube, by increasing $C_{T}$ (tube conduction parameter), mean Nusselt number and outer wall temperature are apparently increased at $C_{T}$.leq.300, slightly increased at $C_{T}$>300 and they can be represented in an exponential function of $C_{T}$. Natural convection heat transfer characteristics for the tube with a fin at given Rayleigh number are well agreed by those for an isothermal cylinder at a modified Rayleigh number. The local fin Nusselt number of the tube with a downward fin is much higher than that of the tube with an upward fin. The comparisons between numerical and experimental results showed good agreement.reement.

In this paper, we propose a new optical security technique using two phase masks based on interferometer. A binary random phase image is used as a reference image and the encrypted image is generated according to the phase difference between the reference image and the original image. If there is no phase difference of a same pixel position in two phase masks, interference intensity of the pixel has minimum value and if phase difference of a same pixel position in two phase masks is $\pi$, its interference intensity has maximum value. We can decrypt the original image by putting two phase masks on each of the two optical paths of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Computer simulation and the optical experiments show a good performance of the proposed optical security system.

The thickness of a Si3N4 thin film with a 100m nominal thickness was measured by use of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The map of the phase-delay through the thin film was obtained by an interframe intensity-correlation-matrix method that could elliminate phase-shifting errors. After the spatial phase-shifting errors were treated with a least-squares method, the reference to surface of the phase map was estimated. The overall accuracy of the method was found to be 5nm.
