In this paper, it was manufactured an interferometric optical fiber sensor and measured partial discharge acoustic signal caused by defect of power facilities such as power cables, transformers and gas insulation. Acrylic and aluminium mandrels wound with fiber-optic were chosen as optical fiber sensor, Sagnac and Mach-Zehnder interferometers were chosen to detect discharge acoustic signals. The two fiber optic interferometers were identified by using the PZT. Discharge experimentation set in the discharge imitation cell in oil tank and the discharge phenomena was generated. Based on the experimental result, to detect the discharge acoustic signal, Sagnac interferometer can detect stably the acoustic signal than the Mach-Zehnder interferometer. It is shown that Sagnac optical fiber sensor can detect the discharge acoustic signals effectively.

We have demonstrated mechanically induced Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZI) based on a long-period fiber grating pair. The transmission spectra, the interference fringes, and the fringe spacing of the long-period fiber grating pairs have also been investigated experimently and analytically. The fringe spacings of the fabricated LPG pairs agree well with the theoretical results.

자기변형 효과가 큰 Metallic glass 2605SC에 20cm의 광섬유를 붙여서 교류 자기장 측정을 위한 Mach-Zehnder형 광섬유 간섭계를 구성하였다. 능동 위상 추적 방법을 사용하여 간섭계의 위상차를 최대 측정감도를 갖는 $\pi$/2로 고정시킴으로써 온도 및 진동등의 영향에 의한 신호소멸 현상을 해결하였다. 0.2~2.0 KHz에서 주파수특성, dc bias의 영향 그리고 교류 자기장과 간섭계 출력 사이의 선형성을 조사하였다.

In this paper, a sensitivity of the gravity acceleration $(0{\sim}1G)$ for a fiber-optic accelerometer is demonstrated. A single mode optical fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer was used to detect the change in optical path length produced by the strain in the fiber from probe mass about 1 gram. The phase conversion gain of the piezoelectric cylinder in the reference arm with this system measures 0.88rad./v.

It is well known that a partial-discharge(PD) in insulation oil is the source of various physical and chemical phenomena, such as heat, light, gas, chemical transformation, electric current, electromagnetic radiation and ultrasonics. The PD can be detected by measuring one of these changes. Although some techniques are employed in this purpose, several obstacles interfere with an on-line measurement. Ultrasonic-wave detection is a useful method for the diagnosis of the transformer-insulation condition. Conventionally, ulyrasonic waves are detected by Piezo-electric transducer, but we use optical method that has many advantages. In this paper, we constructed a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with optical fiber and investigated the principle of operation. Test arrangement is based on the needle-plane electrode system in oil and applied AC high voltage. Ultrasonic waves were detected and analyzed with wavelet transform.

For the intruder detection, a buried fiber-optic sensor based on fiber-optic Mach-Zehnder interferometer is demonstrated. We buried the sensor arm in a styrene board and exerted pressure on it. The pressure-induced deformation speed has almost linear relationship with the output frequencies of the interference signals, and about 4.25 Hz frequency change per 0.01m/s was obtained. Also it has been shown that the amplitude of frequency component increases according to the weight of mass.

The vibration exciter with the accurate calibration requires a low distortion along a single axis over a wide range of frequency. The fabricated piezoelectric exciter was composed of a base, piezoelectric element(Venitron PZT 5A), electrode and seismic mass. Its performance characteristics is evaluated the Mach-Zehnder optical fiber interferometer. The phase of the optical wave passing through the optical fiber around the piezoelectric element was related the vibrational amplitude with a change of the applied sinusoidal voltage on the piezoelectric element. The dynamic characteristics of vibration exciter can be obtained by measuring the vibrational amplitude with a sinusoidal applied voltage on the piezoelectric element. The sensitivity of the fabricated piezoelectric exciter had a 0.4 nm/V which was uniform up to 20 kHz.

A wavelength-demodulation algorithm for FBG sensor is proposed by using a double-pass Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Zero-crossing points of double-passed interference signal are used to trigger the accurate $90^{\circ}C$ phase difference positions in the sensor signal, which is an essential condition in the subsequent arctangent and phase unwrapping signal processing. With the proposed method, we could efficiently measure various measurands, such as dynamic-, static-strain, and temperature, and ${\sim}8pm$ of wavelength resolution was obtained.
