We present a novel bandwidth measurement scheme for multimode optical fibers. Amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) radiation was utilized for a source of intrinsically modulated light with a wide modulation bandwidth. In our measurement scheme, the continuous-wave (CW) ASE light that passed through a multimode fiber (MMF) under test was analyzed by the fourth-order power with a high-speed photodetector and an electric spectrum analyzer. The modulation transfer function of the multimode fiber could be directly measured with the photoelectric spectra in the modulation frequency domain. The measurement result of our method was experimentally compared to that of the conventional measurement scheme based on the impulse response measurement. It has been found that our scheme provides a stable measurement means of MMF characterization that is suitable for the field testing due to the simplicity of the system.

투과 매트릭스 방법을 이용하여 다중모드 광섬유 출력단에서 빛의 세기 분포를 제어하는 연구를 수행하였다. 공간 빛 변조기를 이용하여 원형으로 배치된 Hadamard 고유모드 위상분포를 실험적으로 구현하고, 네 가지 위상 값 변조 방법을 통하여 다중모드 광섬유의 투과 매트릭스를 실험적으로 도출하였다. 도출한 투과 매트릭스를 기반으로 광섬유에 입사하는 빛에 공간적인 위상 분포를 사전에 적용함으로써 광섬유 출력단의 원하는 위치에 빛을 집속하고자 하였다. 다중모드 광섬유 출력단 코어의 특정 위치에서 주변 배경 신호 대비 최대 359.6배 큰 세기로 빛을 집속할 수 있었으며 다중모드 광섬유 코어 영역 전반에 걸쳐 평균적으로 104.6배 향상된 값으로 빛을 집속할 수 있었다.

A high sensitivity fiber optic temperature sensor based on a side-polished fiber (SPF) coupled to a tapered multimode overlay waveguide (MMOW) is proposed and studied. Both tapered and non-tapered MMOW were considered to study the effect of tapering of MMOW on the characteristics of the device and to investigate the criticality of the uniformity of the multimode overlay waveguide over the SPF. Present study shows that tapering of the MMOW can be used to tune the desired wavelength range without any loss in the sensitivity. Sensitivity up to 9 nm/$^{\circ}C$ within the temperature range of 25 to $100^{\circ}C$ can be achieved with the proposed sensor, almost 6 times higher compared even to state-of-the-art high-sensitivity grating-based fiber optic temperature sensors.

One of the confronting problems in using optical fibers under radiation environments is producing of color centers in optical materials due to nuclear radiation. These centers increase transmission loss by absorbing propagating light. In this study, the radiation effects on optical fiber are studied theoretically. Also, optical attenuation induced by \ulcorner-ray irradiation from Co**60 for single mode and multimode optical fibers is measured at the optical wavelength of 0.85\ulcorner and 1.3\ulcorner, and the results are analyzed. Gammaray is irradiated for 5hours at the rate of 300rads/min, which is corresponding to 90 krads of integrated dose. In case of multimode optical fibers, the induced loss at 0.85\ulcorner wavelength has been twice higher than that at 1.3\ulcorner. The loss in multimode fibers has been significantly larger by 7-20 times than that in single mode fibers, dependently on fiber materials at 1.3\ulcorner.

We determined the feasibility of a fishing camera system using an optical fiber as the fishing line by testing a power-over-fiber (POF) module and multimode optical fiber. Operation of the remote camera module (RCM) without the battery was preferred because the removal of the charging or battery replacement section enabled a waterproof single-body type design. The average efficiency of the photovoltaic power converter (PPC) in the tested POF module was 32.6% at 820 nm, and thus, a high-power laser of at least 1.27 W was required for operating the developed RCM with an electrical dissipation of 413 mW. Because the optical fiber was wound on a fishing reel, composite loss composed of bending and tensile loss occurred. To mitigate the composite loss, we employed a simple holder that showed an improvement in the composite loss of 0.38 dB to 0.8 dB, which was considerably better than the losses without the holder.

다중모드 광섬유 테이퍼(taper)를 이용하여 레이저와 광섬유 혹은 두 개의 서로 다른 광섬유 사이의 효과적인 광결합을 위한 모드 크기 변환기를 제안하고 구현하였다. 이 소자의 입력 단은 다중 모드 구조이고 출력단은 단일 모드 구조이다. 소자의 구조 및 광원과 소자사이의 결합 조건이 결합 효율에 미치는 영향을 이론적으로 분석하였다. 이론적 결과는 제안된 소자가 가우시안 빔을 단일모드 광섬유로 거의 손실 없이 결합할 수 있는 것을 보였다. 제안된 소자를 두 개의 마이크로 토치가 부착된 장비를 이용해 제작하였다. 실험 결과 제작된 다중모드광섬유 테이퍼를 통해 $50\;{\mu}m$ 빔 크기를 가지는 가우시안 빔을 단일모드 광섬유로 효과적으로 결합할 수 있는 것을 보였다. 소자의 삽입 손실은 1.3 dB였다.

This paper reports the principle, design, configuration, and test results of the fiber optic security system using multimode fiber. In this system, optical fiber works as a sensing element. The length of sensing element may be from several meters to several killometers. Physical principle of this system is the dependence of interferometric pattern on the end of the fiber on mechanical perturbation in the area, where this fiber is situated. Near and far field patterns of the output light for multimode fiber are speckle pattern. A number of speckles on the fiber depends on mode numbers. Light intensity in each point of the fiber end depends on phase difference of modes. Finally we introduced a "Fiber Optic Security System based on Multimode" Fiber which we developed, it may be available in the field of the important area and building.

광강도 변조방식 광섬유 센서의 변위응답해석에 필요한 투광 조도분포를 수학적으로 모델링 하였다. 유도된 조도분포 모델은 스텝인덱스 멀티모드 광섬유를 대상으로 하며 실험적 검증을 통해 타당성을 확인하였다. 검증된 조도분포 모델을 적용하여 얻은 광섬유 센서의 변위응답 해석결과를 변위측정 결과와 비교하여 거의 일치함을 확인하였다. 또한 기존의 가우시안 조도분포 모델을 적용한 해석결과와 비교했을 때 제안한 조도분포 모델이 보다 정확한 결과를 나타냄을 보이고 있다.

This paper presents a theoretical and experimental investigation of the transmission and sensing characteristics of the biconically tapered cladded multimode fibers. The beam propagation method was used to examine the transmission characteristics with various structural parameters. The results show that the transmission of the biconically tapered cladded multimode fibers is sensitive to the mode of the input optical beam and the refractive index of the external medium. A refractive index sensor for the external medium was proposed based on the theoretical analysis, and its feasibility was demonstrated experimentally.
