Because of rapid technological advancements, increased data rate support has become the key criterion for future communication medium selection. Multimode optical fibers and multicore optical fibers are well matched to high data rate throughput requirements because of their tendency to support multiple modes through one core at a time, which results in higher data rates. Using the numerical mode solver OptiFiber, we have designed a concentric core fiber by investigating certain design parameters, namely core diameter (µm), wavelength (nm), and refractive index profile, and as a result, the number of channels, material losses, bending losses, polarization mode dispersion, and the effective nonlinear refractive index have been determined. Space division multiplexing is a promising future technology that uses few-mode fibers in parallel to form a multicore fiber. The experimental tests are conducted using the standard second window wavelength of 1,550 nm and simulated results are presented.

In this study, the thermal neutron effects on optical fiber are examined theoretically. Also, the induced loss by thermal neutron irradiation in optical fibers is measured at the optical wavelengths of 0.85 and 1.3\ulcorner, respectively, and the results are analyzed. Thermal neutrons cause nuclear reaction with fiber compositions. So secondary ionizing radiations of high energy are generated. Color centers formed by these secondary ionizing rasiations increase transmission loss of optical fiber by absorbing propagating light in fiber core. As a result of experiment, owing to Ge, P, and B doping effects, the induced loss in multimode fibers has been 5 tmes larger than that in single mode fibers at 1.3 \ulcorner wavelengh. In case of multimode fibers, the loss at 0.8 \ulcorner wavelength region more suceptible for radiations has been twice higher than at 1.3\ulcorner.

A novel mode analysis method and differential mode delay measurement technique for a multimode optical fiber based on optical frequency domain reflectometry has been proposed for the first time. We have used a conventional OFDR with a tunable external cavity laser and a Michelson interferometer. A few-mode optical multimode fiber was prepared to test our proposed measurement technique. The differential mode delay (DMD) of the sample fiber was measured to be 16.58 ps/m with a resolution of 1.5 ps/m. We have also compared the OFDR measurement results with those obtained using a traditional time-domain measurement method.

We propose and experimentally demonstrate an effective method to reduce near-field speckle noise at the output of a 50 ${\mu}m$ graded index multimode fiber using a short cylindrical piezoelectric transducer(PZT) vibrating in the radial direction. The fiber was coiled as tightly as possible around the mandrel of the PZT and a periodic stretching effect was caused by the radial oscillations of the actuator. The output of the optical fiber using the He-Ne laser source was intensively observed by a CCD camera. By counting all the pixels corresponding to relative intensity graded into 256 levels in the selected area and by calculating standard deviation and mean value of the intensity, we could measure the speckle contrast and vibration effect quantitatively with reduction ratio of pixels and line profile of the illuminated region. It was clearly observed that the characteristics of the speckle pattern in the vibration-on state were significantly improved over that of the vibration-off state due to time-averaged smoothing.

Guide modes in a graded index multinmode optical fiber are turned into clad modes when the optical fiber was bended into a perpendicular direction to its optical axes by microbending forces, which causes the loss of the guiding optical power. The theories reported on this microbending power loss can be applied to calculation of the transmission power loss only when the beding period equals to the mode coupling length. In this paper, we obtained the general expression of the optical power transmission loss in a graded index multimode fiber bended periodically. This can be applied to the calculation of the power loss of the periodically microbended fiber with an arbitrary bending shape and period. Also, by using the beam theory in mechanics, we could derive the expression of the displacement of the optical fiber caused by the external force which bends the fiber into a periodic trapezoidal shape. Experiments were carried out to determine the dependence of the power loss on the period of the microbending forces. Experimnetal results were in good agreement (in the same order of the magnitude) with theoritical values derived in our work within the bending period region of 2mm-10mm.

광섬유 센서의 주된 이점으로는 기계적 구동부가 없으므로 고신뢰성, 긴수명, 무전기적 간섭, 고응답속도, 저가이다. 본 연구에서는 공장설비 및 자동문 등과 같은 곳에서 많이 사용되어지는 자동장치의 오작동으로 인한 사고를 미연에 감지하여 인명피해를 줄이기 위하여 광섬유를 이용한 충격 및 압력센서를 제안 및 개발하였다. 센서의 원리로는 충격에 의해 다중모드 광섬유에서 발생하는 스펙클 패턴의 변화를 포토다이오드로 검출하는 방식이다. 광섬유에 충격의 세기를 변화하여 여러 차례 측정한 결과 충격의 세기의 변화에 따른 반응정도는 선형적으로 변하지는 않았으나 주어진 충격에 대해 민감하게 반응하는 것을 실험을 통하여 확인하였으며 광섬유의 피복 두께의 변화나 신호처리부에서의 증폭도를 조절함으로써 충격에 대한 반응감도를 조절할 수 있었다. 광섬유를 이용한 충격 및 압력센서의 장점으로는 점대점 방식이 아닌 라인 방식으로 설치하거나 측정함으로써 광섬유 전체가 센서역할을 하기 때문에 설치가 용이하고 감지범위가 넓어 센서로서의 우수한 특성을 가지므로 다양한 자동시스템 분야나 충격 및 압력센서로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Symmetric directional couplers are widely used in interferometers, switches, and various signal processing devices. Recently, several optical couplers using multimode fibers were reported, but these suffer from inefficient coupling of light into a branching fiber and/or low directivity. This paper presents the measurement and analysis of loss in the connection of optical fibers via the optical directional couplers. The functionality of the device is based on the principle that is symmetrical, the power in excited mode can be unambiguously directed into one of the output channel by varying and of its parameters. In this experiment, we measure the power of loss in the optical directional coupler at various radius of curvature. Before the measurement of loss in x-coupler, we polish the contact of the fiber surface in order that light can penetrate through another port. The results show that, when the radius of curvature is increased, the loss power is decreased and also approaches of the straight line case.
