In this paper, sound pressure sensitivity of the fiber optic acoustic sensor according to sensor direction and mandrel material were investigated experimentally. Three different directions were selected as stand, lay, and hole. Hollow cylinder type mandrel dimension is 30 mm in outer diameter, 45 mm in length, and 2 mm in thickness, and about 50 m optical fibers were wounded on the surface of the mandrel. Non-directional sound speaker was used as a sound source. Sagnac interferometer and single mode fiber, a laser with 1,550 nm in wavelength, $2{\times}2$ coupler were used. Based on the experimental results, lay direction's sensitivity is the highest in the frequency range of 2 kHz~4 kHz. 'PTFE+carbon' material is more sensitive than PTFE in the frequency range of 5 kHz~20 kHz. Sound pressure detection sensitivity depends on the mandrel direction and material under certain frequency.

광섬유 ROTDR (Rayleigh optical time domain reflectometry) 센서를 이용하여 중요 보안 대상체인 사회기반시설물에 침투하는 침입자의 위치와 무게 정도를 탐지할 수 있는 기초 연구를 수행하였다. 넓은 면적을 감지할 수 있는 매설형 광섬유 센서탐지판을 제작하고, 인가된 침입물체의 위치와 무게에 따른 신호특성을 고찰하였다. ROTDR 센서는 펄스 폭이 30ns이고, 광섬유의 길이는 10km 이상이다. 위치탐지오차는 약 3m 이내였으며, 무게에 따른 탐지능력은 20kgf, 40kgf, 60kgf의 세단계를 구분할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

We have investigated a temperature sensor on a thermal expansion effect of a fused optical fiber coupler. Both side of the fused tapered region of the coupler were fixed on a metal support to induce the high thermal expansion effect. The sensor showed that the peak coupling wavelengths were shifted to shorted wavelength region with increased of environmental temperature. The sensitivity of the sensor was $0.12nm/^{\circ}C$.

In this work fiber-optic biosensor that has been used in medical applications was developed. And we can monitored the concentration of glucose and lactate in blood sample by using developed fiber-optic glucose and lactate sensor. Glucose oxidase(GOD) and Lactate oxidase(LOD) were immobilized by using acrylamide adhesive and zeolite on the tip of the optic fiber.

In this paper, we analyze the errors associated with electric field interference for fiber-optic voltage sensors working in a three-phase electric system. For many practical conductor arrangements, the electric filed interference may cause errors unacceptable for the accuracy requirements of the sensors. We devised a real time compensation method for the interference by introducing geometric and weight factors. We realized the method using simple electronic circuits and obtained the real time compensated outputs with errors of 1 %.

We propose a systematic method for design of fiber-optic surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors. We used rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA) for analysis of the transmission spectrum, and the (1+1) evolution strategy (ES) was employed as an optimization tool. The simulation results show that the optimization method presented here is very useful in designing fiber-optic SPR sensor for strain and temperature measurement. This algorithm can be extended to another objective function with other weighting factors and optical parameters.

We developed a 2-channel fiber-optic temperature sensor (FOTS) using a temperature sensing probe, a fiber-optic coupler, transmitting optical fiber, and an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR). The temperature sensing probe is divided into a sensing probe and a reference probe for accurate thermometry. A sensing probe is composed of a silicon oil, a FC terminator, a brass pipe, and a singlemode optical fiber and the structure of a reference probe is identical with that of the sensing probe excluding a silicon oil. In this study, we measured the modified optical powers of the light signals reflected from the temperature sensing probe placed inside of the water with a thermal variation from 5 to $70^{\circ}C$. Although the optical power of the reference probe was constant regardless of the temperature change, the optical power of the sensing probe decreased linearly as the temperature increased. As experimental results, the FOTS using a subtraction method showed a small difference (i.e., hysteresis) in its response due to heating and cooling. The reversibility and reproducibility of the FOTS were also evaluated.

In this study, we have fabricated two types of non-invasive fiber-optic respiration sensors that can measure respiratory signals during magnetic resonance (MR) image acquisition. One is a nasal-cavity attached sensor that can measure the temperature variation of air-flow using a thermochromic pigment. The other is an abdomen attached sensor that can measure the abdominal circumference change using a sensing part composed of polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) tubes, a mirror and a spring. We have measured modulated light guided to detectors in the MRI control room via optical fibers due to the respiratory movements of the patient in the MR room, and the respiratory signals of the fiber-optic respiration sensors are compared with those of the BIOPAC$^{(R)}$ system. We have verified that respiratory signals can be obtained without deteriorating the MR image. It is anticipated that the proposed fiber-optic respiration sensors would be highly suitable for respiratory monitoring during surgical procedures performed inside an MRI system.

페브리-페롯 간섭계 원리를 이용한 광섬유 센서를 철근 콘크리트 구조물에 매설하고 구조물에 압력을 가했을 때 위상변화와 스트레인과의 특성 관계를 조사하였다. 단일모드 광섬유 (SMF) 내에 $TiO_2$ 유전체 박막을 용융 접합하여 공극의 길이가 10 mm인 광섬유 페브리-페롯 간섭계를 제작하였다. 제작한 페브리-페롯 간섭계와 6 mm의 철근을 $100{\times}100{\times}500\;mm^3$ 크기의 철근 콘크리트 구조물에 매설하였다. 광섬유 간섭계 및 광섬유 리드선은 접착제로 광섬유를 보호하였으며, 여러 지점에서 구조물이 받는 압력의 크기를 측정하기 위해 TDM 방식의 다중화 방법을 이용하였다. 제작한 광섬유 간섭계 센서의 광출력 특성은 인가한 하중에 따라 선형적으로 변화하였으며, 제작된 센서의 감도는 각각 $1.03^{\circ}/kg$와 $0.76^{\circ}/kg$이였다.

광섬유 소산파 센서(fiber-optic evanescent wave sensor)를 제작하였다. 클래드층을 제거한 광섬유 코아 표면에 anti-mouse immunoglobulin G(IgG)를 결합시키고, 형광이 표지된 mouse IgG와의 반응을 직접적인 방법과 경쟁적인 방법을 통하여 측정하였다. 직접적인 방법과 경쟁적인 방법 모두 $1{\mu}g/m{\ell}$이하의 mouse IgG를 측정할 수 있는 감도를 얻을 수 있었다. Anti-mouse IgG는 단순 흡착 방법에 의하여 광섬유 코아 표면의 93.9%에 고정되었고 비특이적 결합반응을 제거하기 위하여 실시한 소혈청 알부민(bovine serum albumin : BSA)을 이용한 표면 코팅 효과는 없었다. Mouse IgG에 결합된 fluorescein의 비율이 높을수록 형광 발생량이 많았으나 관계는 직선적이지 않았다. 본 연구에서 제작된 광섬유 소산파 센서는 $1{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ 이하의 항원 항체 반응을 소산파 여기에 의한 형광량으로 측정할 수 있어 면역센서로의 응용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
