This study describes a simple and effective experimental determination of pump-power dependence of refractive indices and dispersions of erbium-doped fibers (EDFs) of various doping concentrations. Systermatical analysis on light-induced change of the refractive indices and dispersion for a signal wavelength range of 1510 nm-1560 nm with a pump of 980 nm wavelength has been made by measuring the pump-induced phase changes of the signal beam in Mach-Zehnder type interferometer, which has an optically pumped EDF and a reference EDF in each of the two arms, respectively. The measured pump-induced refractive indices match well with the theoritically predicted ones. The results show that pump-induced refractivity and dispersion changes of the EDF increase with the increasing pump power and $Er^{3+}$-doping concentration as expected from theory.

In this paper, to develop the fiber optic hydrophone for the use of low frequency applications, two channels TDM(Time Division Multiplexing) fiber-optic hydrophone array was fabricated and their acoustic charateristics were investigated in the acoustic water tank. A fiber length of the order of 150m is wounded at the hollow cylinder type aluminum mandrel and the fundamental natural frequency of the mandrel maintained above 10kHz. An unbalanced interferometer (discrete Mach-Zehnder type) was used. Sound detection performance is tested in the underwater tank with 3kHz continuous sound source. Finally, it is shown that two channels TDM fiber-optic hydrophone array can detect 3kHz sound stably. This results can also applicable for the development of multi-channel fiber optic hydrophone array.

We describe a single shot off-axis digital holography based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometic scheme for measuring temperature distribution of a microheater. The proposed scheme has the capability of reconstructing object phase image which is dependent of the temperature distribution in real time. Experimental results shows that there is a moderate linear relationship between the measured phase and temperature in the range of $20^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$. We expect that the proposed system can provide a very reliable and fast solution in various surface temperature distribution measurement applications.

For the simultaneous measurement of strain and damage signal a fiber Bragg grating sensor system with a dual demodulator was proposed. The dual demodulator is composed of a demodulator using a tunable Fabry-Perot filter measuring the low-frequency signal with large magnitude such as strain and the other using a passive Mach-Zehnder interferometer detecting the high-frequency signal with small amplitude such as impact or damage signal. Using the proposed fiber Bragg grating sensor system, both the strain and damage signals of a cross-ply laminated composite beam under tensile loading were simultaneously measured. The strain and damage signals detected by single fiber Bragg grating sensor showed that sudden strain shifts were accompanied with vibration at a maximum frequency of several hundreds of kilohertz at the instant of matrix crack propagation in the 90 degree layer in composite beam.

For the simultaneous measurement of strain and damage signal, a fiber Bragg grating sensor system with a dual demodulator was proposed. One demodulator using a tunable Fabry-Perot filter can measure low-frequency signal such as strain and the other demodulator using a passive Mach-Zehnder interferometer can detect high-frequency signal such as damage signal or impact signal. Using a proposed fiber Bragg grating sensor system, both the strain and damage signal of a cross-ply laminated composite beam under tensile loading were simultaneously measured. Analysis of the strain and damage signals detected by single fiber Bragg grating sensor showed that sudden strain shifts were induced due to transverse crack propagation in the 90 degree layer of composite beam and vibration with a maximum frequency of several hundreds of kilohertz was generated.

Most optical security systems use a 4-f correlator, Mach-Zehnder interferometer, or a joint transform correlator(JTC). Of them, the JTC does not require an accurate optical alignment and has a good potential for real-time processing. In this paper, we propose an image encryption system using a position shift property of the JTC in the Fourier domain and a random phase image. Our encryption system uses two keys: one key is a random phase mask and the other key is a position shift factor. By using two keys, the proposed method can increase the security level of the encryption system. An encrypted image is produced by the Fourier transform for the multiplication image, which resulted from adding position shift functions to an original image, with a random phase mask. The random phase mask and position shift value are used as keys in decryption, simultaneously. For the decryption, both the encrypted image and the key image should be correctly located on the JTC. If the incorrect position shift value or the incorrect key image is used in decryption, the original information can not be obtained. To demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed system, computer simulation is performed. By analyzing the simulation results in the case of blocking of the encrypted image and affecting of the phase noise, we confirmed that the proposed method has a good tolerance to data loss. These results show that our system is very useful for the optical certification system.
