본 논문은 광강도 변조방식 광섬유 변위센서의 측정 메커니즘을 수식적으로 모델링하여 측정영역과 감도를 원하는 목적에 따라 유연하게 조정할 수 있는 설계모델을 제안하고 있다. 유도된 모델은 스텝 인덱스 광섬유를 적용한 경우로 제한되고 광섬유 센서의 변위 응답영역 중 front slope 측정영역 해석에 초점을 맞추었다. 또한 광섬유 설계 시 유도된 모델 적용이 용이하도록 수치적분 방식의 해석 프로세스를 소개하고 있다. 제안된 모델과 프로세스는 기본 설계변수 별로 실험결과를 통해 비교검증 되었다. 끝으로 검증된 모델을 통해 기본 설계변수에 따른 광섬유 변위센서의 변위응답 특성 경향을 분석하였다.

외인성 패브리-페롯 간섭계(EFPI) 광섬유 센서는 민감도와 분해능이 우수하며, 다른 종류의 광섬유 센서에 비해 많은 장점을 가지고 있다. 하지만 EFPI 광섬유 센서는 단지 프린지 개수만을 계산하여 측정량을 얻기 때문에 측정 방향을 구별하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 측정방향의 구분을 위한 추가적인 기능과 기존의 EFPI 광섬유 센서와는 다른 측정 시스템을 갖는 투과형 외인성 패브리-페롯 간섭계(TEFPI) 광섬유 센서를 개발하였다. 그리고 이를 이용하여 변형률 및 온도를 측정하였다.

We have proposed a novel planar lightwave circuit (PLC) optical sensor to monitor the contamination in a flow-cell where water is continuously supplied through a water quality measurement system. We designed a PLC chip with a V-shape waveguide and the simulated its function as a sensor for monitoring contamination in a flow-cell using a numerical the FDTD (finite-difference time-domain) analysis. A novel cross type of waveguide was introduced to make the PLC chip of the V-shaped waveguide. The fabricated PLC was cut into the cross waveguide. A change in the optical propagation loss of the PLC sensor was observed after immersing the PLC sensor into city water. It was determined that the propagation loss of the PLC sensor was 3 dB at a wavelength of $1.55{\mu}m$ in the city water for 15 days.

In this paper, designed and simulated Power Splitter (PS) integrated Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) based planar type optical waveguide devices (which is called here a PS-MZI). The PS-MZI optical waveguide sensor was preceded by a Y-junction, which splits the input power between the sensor, and a reference branch, to minimize the effect of optical power variations. The PS-MZI optical waveguide sensor induced changing phases of the incident beam, which had fallen upon the waveguide through computer simulation, according to the small changes in the index of refraction, thus beam intensity was changed. The waveguide were optimized at a wavelength of 1550 nm and fabricated according to the design rule of 0.45 delta%, which is the difference of refractive index between the core and clad. The fabrication of PS-MZI optical waveguide sensor was performed by a conventional planar lightwave circuit (PLC) fabrication process. The PS-MZI optical waveguide that was fabricated to be applied as a biosensor revealed a low insertion loss and a low polarization-dependent loss. After having etched the over-clad at the sensor part in the MZI optical waveguide that was fabricated, Ti deposition was made on the adhesion layer, and then Au thin-film deposition was carried out thereon. In addition, its optical properties were measured by having changed the index of refraction oil at the sensing part of the MZI. To apply the planar type PS-MZI optical waveguide as a biosensor, a detection test for Staphylococcus aureus was conducted according to changes in concentration, having adopted Ti-alkoxide as ligand. The detection result of the S. aureus by the PS-MZI optical waveguide sensor was possible to the level of $10^1$ CFU/ml.

The intensity modulated type (reflective method) optical fiber sensor is a well -known method and widely applied to the displacement measurements and other industrial purposes. This type sensor has the advantages of relatively cheap cost, small sensor size and easiness of operation. The sensitivity of the sensor is very dependent of several error terms; the variation in the intensity of the light source and the changes in the surface reflectivity of the object. An optical fiber coupled displacement probe with a new compensation method is presented in this paper. The proposed displacement sensor can measure the displacements of the target surface independent of surface reflectivity error that is caused by the materials and surface processing grade.

Novel concept of sensor mat and its signal processing method is proposed for patient monitoring in medical application. Proposed sensor mat structure has sensing inner layer which has cross-linked arrangement using plastic optical fiber(POF). Large core diameter of plastic optical fiber behaved as band pass filter by averaging the noise component. caused by unwanted environmental factors. Signal processor followed by sensor output added noise immune performance by filtering out unwanted component. Fail-proof patient breath monitoring scheme was realized by using intelligent decision algorithm. Unlike the conventional approach by using mechanical sensor, which have high sensitivity both to intruder and to environmental noise, our approach provided reliable breath motion detection.

In this paper, a study on a portable hydrogen alarm system based on the palladium coated single mode fiber sensor has been reported. The fabricated hydrogen sensor exhibited 0.14 dB, 0.41 dB and 0.54 dB optical intensity variation when it was exposed by the nitrogen and hydrogen mixed gas containing 0.5 %, 1 % and 4 % of the hydrogen concentration, respectively. The fabricated sensor exhibited 20 second of response time and 120 second of recovery time for 4 % hydrogen containing gas. The fiber optics layout and software algorithm for detection of hydrogen leakage have been presented. The implanted portable hydrogen alarm system successfully generated an alarm signal when a 4 % hydrogen containing gas was leaked out.

본 연구에서는 광계측 기술을 이용하여 배전자동화 개폐기 내에서 발생하는 전자 계측장치의 절연문제 및 측정오차의 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 배선자동화개폐기 내장형 광전류 및 광전압센서를 연구하였다. 자기광학 효과(magneto optic effect)인 페러데이효과(Faraday effect)를 이용하여 최적의 광전류 센서를 설계 제작하여 높은 전류까지 선형성을 유지시키고 다른 상의 전류에 대한 유도현상을 최소로 하기 위해 순철 코아를 사용하여 광전류 센서를 일체화시켜 설계 제작하였다. 설계내에서 결정의 굴절률 및 방위각의 변화에 의해 생기는 전기광학효과(electrooptic effect)인 포켈스 효과(pockels effect)를 이용하여 광전압센서를 구성하였으며 배전 자동화용 개폐기의 협소한 내부구조를 고려하여 공간전계방식을 채택하였다. 또한 다심의 광섬유를 개폐기와 외부의 신호처리 단말기와 연결하기 위하여 기밀형 멀티 광커넥터를 설계 자작하여 접속 손실 및 가스 누설 시험을 하였다. 전기적 특성시험에서 광 전류센서에서는 인가 전류에 대한 선형 특성은 20A 에서 700A까지 변동 오차 2.5% 이내의 선형성을 유지하였으며, 광전압센서에 있어서 인가 전압에 대한 선형 특성은 6.6kV에서 19.8kV까지 거의 변동 오차가 1% 이내로 우수한 선형 특성을 나타냈다.

We propose a simple ultraviolet (UV) sensor consisting of a conventional single-mode optical fiber capped with an azobenzene-moiety-containing polymer. The UV light changes the dimensions of the azobenzene polymer, as well as the refractive index of the material. Incident light with a wavelength of 1550 nm was reflected at the fiber/polymer and polymer/air interfaces, and interference of the reflected beams resulted in spectral interference that shifted the wavelength by 0.78 nm at a UV input power of $2.5mW/cm^2$. The UV sensor's response to wavelength is nonlinear and stable. The response speed of the sensor is limited by detection noise, which can be improved by modifying the insertion loss of the UV sensor and the signal-to-noise ratio of the detection system. The proposed compact UV sensor is easy to fabricate, is not susceptible to electromagnetic interference, and only reacts to UV light.
