원전 2차계통수의 pH를 예측을 위해서는 샘플을 채취, 냉각시킨 후 pH를 측정하게 되는데 이 때 샘플의 온도는 pH를 변화시키는 중요한 요인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 할로겐화 은 광섬유를 이용하여 비접촉식 온도센서를 개발하였고, 열전쌍열을 이용하여 열원으로부터 방출되는 적외선을 측정하였다. 열원과 광섬유 끝단 사이의 거리 및 각도 변화에 따른 광섬유 온도센서의 출력신호를 분석하였으며, 광섬유 온도센서로 측정한 온도범위는 $25{\sim}60^{\circ}C$이다. 본 연구결과를 기초로 원전 2차계통수 pH 샘플의 온도를 측정하기 위해 할로겐화 은 광섬유를 이용한 비접촉식 온도센서의 개발이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

교량과 각종 건물을 비롯한 대형 토목 구조물에서 발생하는 수 mm의 변위를 한 개의 광섬유로 간편하게 측정하기 위하여 광커넥터에서 반사가 굽힘 손실에 의하여 변하는 현상을 이용한 새로운 다중화된 광섬유 변위센서를 제안하고 실험하였다. 한 쌍의 광커넥터 양끝에서 반사광의 신호차이가 두 광커넥터 사이에서 발생한 굽힘 변위에 의해서 달라지는 것을 Optical Time Domain Reflectometer로 측정하여 선형으로 그 변화가 측정되는 변위센서를 만들고, 이 센서 4개를 직렬형으로 배열하여 여러 지점의 변위를 동사에 측정이 가능한 다중화 센서 시스템을 구성하고 실험하였다. 그 결과 이 변위센서를 이용하면 4개 지점에서 각각 최대 6 mm까지의 변위를 6%의 오차범위 내에서 0.9942의 선형성을 가지고 변위를 측정할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Fiber optic distributed temperature sensing and thermal line sensor are applied in an observation borehole and a loom deep borehole heat exchanger. For the case of permanently installed system fiber optic DTS is very useful. By comparing with TLS, fiber optic DTS shows good accuracy and reliability. Ground water flow can give influences at heat exchange rate of the heat pump system. According to the hydraulic characteristics and temperature-depth profile, we consider that temperature-depth profile do not seem to be dependent on ground water flow. A permanent installation of fiber optic cable is expected as a reliable temperature measurement technique in a borehole heat exchanger system.

We proposed and demonstrated a distributed fiber-optic overheating detection sensor using optical time domain refrectometry. With increased of temperature the optical fiber is bended by a bi-metal and it result in optical leaky loss of the fiber. The sensor structure is designed in such a way that the signal of overheating is happen when the temperature exceeding a threshold temperature and the optical fiber is protected from excess bending.

A method for measurement and monitoring of mechanical loads in large slender structures such as wind turbine blade and tower is presented based on continuous strain data obtained from distributed fiber optic sensor. An experimental study was carried out on an aluminum cantilever beam. A static load test was performed and the calculated moment from the distributed fiber optic sensor agree well with the actual applied moment. A series of damages was inflicted on the beam, and vibration tests were carried out for each damage case. The estimated natural frequencies from the distributed fiber optic sensor for each damage case are found to compare well with those from a conventional accelerometer and a numerical analysis based on an energy method.

The buried fiber optic cable as a distributed intrusion sensor for detecting and locating intruders along the long perimeters is proposed. Phase changes resulting from either the pressure of the intruder on the ground immediately above the buried fiber or from seismic disturbances in the vicinity are sensed by a phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometer. Light pulses from a Er:fiber cw laser with a narrow, <3kHz-range, spectral width and a frequency drift of < 1 MHz/min are injected into one end of the fiber, and the backscattered light from the fiber is monitored with a photodetector. Results of preliminary studies, measurement of phase changes produced by pressure and seismic disturbances in buried fiber optic cables and simulation of ${\varphi}-OTDR$ response over long fiber paths, to establish the feasibility of the concept are described. The field experiments indicate adequate phase changes, more than 1t-rad, are produced by intruders on foot and vehicle for burial depths in the 0.2 m to 1 m range in sand, clay and fine gravel soils. The simulations predict a range of 10 km with 35 m range resolution and 30 km with 90 m range resolution. This technology could in a cost-effective manner provide enhanced perimeter security.

For monitoring of the civil and building structure, optical fiber sensors are very convenient. The fiber sensors are very small and do not disturb the structural properties. They also have several merits such as electro-magnetic immunity, long signal transmission, good accuracy and multiplexibility in one sensor line. Strain measurement technologies with fiber optic sensors have been investigated as a part of smart structure. In this paper, we investigated the possibilities of fiber optic sensor application to the monitoring of beam-column joints of structures. We expect that the fiber optic sensors replace electrical strain gauges. The commercial electric strain gauges show good stability and dominate the strain measurement market. However, they lack durability and long term stability for continuous monitoring of the structures. In order to apply the strain gauges, we only have to attach them to the surfaces of the structures. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of using fiber optic Bragg grating sensors to joint structure. The sensors show nice response to the structural behavior of the joint.

In this work, we used PWM sampling for demodulation of a fiber-optic interferometric current transformer. The interference signal from a fiber-optic CT is sampled with PWM triggers that produce a 90-degree phase difference between two consecutively sampled signals. The current-induced phase is extracted by applying an arctangent demodulation and a phase unwrapping algorithm to the sampled signals. From experiments using the proposed demodulation, we obtained phase measurement accuracy and a linearity error, in AC current measurements, of ~2.35 mrad and 0.18%, respectively. The accuracy of the proposed method was compared with that of a lock-in amplifier demodulation, which showed only 0.36% difference. To compare the birefringence effects of different fiber-optic sensor coils, a flint glass fiber and a standard single-mode fiber were used under the same conditions. The flint glass fiber coil with a Faraday rotator mirror showed the best performance. Because of the simple hardware structure and signal processing, the proposed demodulation would be suitable for low-cost over-current monitoring in high voltage power systems.

We proposed and demonstrated a fiber optic sensor for detecting the thermo-optic coefficient of a liquid, based on a cascade of two different FBGs. One of the two FBGs was etched, and its cladding was removed, for evanescent wave coupling with an external liquid. The Bragg wavelength of the non-etched FBG was used as a reference for the temperature of the surrounding liquid. The refractive index (RI) and thermo-optic (T-O) coefficient of a liquid can be detected from the difference between the Bragg wavelengths of the two FBGs, and the variation of the difference in accordance with temperature.
