Sensing performances of evanescent field absorption (EFA) hetero-core fiber sensor has been presented based on EFA by changing the length and the core diameter of the single mode fiber. Experimental results have demonstrated a good feature in their relationship between the length and the core diameter of the single mode fiber. The sensor consists of 2 fiber optics which have the same cladding diameter of $125{\mu}m$ However one fiber optic used is single mode and has varying core diameter ranging from 3.3 to $5.6{\mu}m$. The other fiber is multimode type and has a thicker fixed core diameter of $62.5{\mu}m$. The 2 fiber optics are thermally spliced together. Experiments conducted to measure the resonance wavelength were carried out over a range of refractive index, to find the optimum sensing length Experiments show that core diameter of the single mode fiber and sensing length offects the linearity and sensitivity.

E. coli TG1 pBS TOM Green was cultured to produce toluene-o-monooxygenase (TOM). A biosensor system was successfully constructed using purified TOM to effectively detect trichloroethene (TCE) and tetrachloroethene (PCE), which represent some of the major contaminants in groundwater and soil. In order to utilize TOM as a sensor, NADH, a biological oxidizer, was replaced with hydrogen peroxide which is a chemical oxidizing agent. A three-layered sandwich-type sensing tip was fabricated on the outside of the hydrophilic polyvinylidene fluoride membrane. TCE and PCE were applied to the sensor and the hydrogen ions were measured by a fiber optic fluorometer using fluoresceinamine. Calibration curves were obtained for TCE and PCE in the concentration range of 0.2-100 mg/l, and the detection limit of the system was $10{\mu}g/l$ for TCE and PCE.

In this work the optical fiber glucose and lactate biosensors were developed by using fluorescent dye and enzyme immobilized on the end tip of an optical fiber. 3-Glycidyloxypropyl)methyldiethoxysilane (GPTMS), (3-Aminopropyl) trimethoxysilane (APTMS) and Methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) were used to immobilize glucose oxidase (GOD), lactate oxidase (LOD) and ruthenium(II) complex (tris(4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline) ruthenium(II), $Ru(dpp)_3^{2+}$) as oxygen sensitive fluorescent dye. MTMS sol-gel was an excellent supporting material for the immobilization of $Ru(dpp)_3^{2+}$, GOD, and LOD on the optical fiber. Storage stability of the optical fiber glucose sensor was kept constant over 20 days, while the optical fiber lactate sensor had constant storage stability over 17 days. The optical fiber glucose and lactate biosensors also maintained good operational stability for 20 hours and 14 hours, respectively. The activities of the immobilized enzymes were most excellent at pH 7 and at $25^{\circ}C$. On-line monitoring of glucose and lactate in a simulated process was performed with the optical fiber glucose and lactate biosensors. On-line monitoring results were agreed with those of off-line data measured with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Optical-fiber sensors have been developed to determine the concentrations of glucose and lactic acid in blood samples. Fluorescence dye [tris(2,2'-biphenyridine)-ruthenium(II)-chloride (RuBPY)] was entrapped by using a silicon to the unclad tip of a glass optic fiber. Enzymes like glucose oxidase (GOD) and lactate oxidase (LOD) have been immobilized by acrylamide resin adhesive, adsorption with zeolite or covalent bonding with aminopropyl-triethoxysilan. The fiber-optic glucose/lactate sensor was then used to analyze the concentrations of glucose and lactate in blood samples. The results were compared with the results of HPLC analysis and their difference was in error by less then 5 %.

LSPR(Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance) sensor measures the refractive index change on the sensor surface. The detection of biological reaction with the unknown refractive index needs to be converted into the signal sensitivity for the refractive index change for comparison with other measurements. To find the signal sensitivity, the three steps of signal processing are proposed, which are signal modeling, signal calibration and signal normalization of LSPR sensor. The detected signal of biotin-streptavidin interaction has been converted into unit of [RU](Resonance Unit) using the proposed method. The converted signal directly can be compared with the other sensors including commercialized one.

In this study, graphene, the most attractive material today, has been applied to the wavelength-modulated surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor. The optical fiber sensor technology is the most fascinating topic because of its several benefits. In addition to this, the SPR phenomenon enables the detection of biomaterials to be label-free, highly sensitive, and accurate. Therefore, the optical fiber SPR sensor has powerful advantages to detect biomaterials. Meanwhile, Graphene shows superior mechanical, electrical, and optical characteristics, so that it has tremendous potential to be applied to any applications. Especially, grapheme has tighter confinement plasmon and relatively long propagation distances, so that it can enhance the light-matter interactions (F. H. L. Koppens, et al., Nano Lett., 2011). Accordingly, we coated graphene on the optical fiber probe which we fabricated to compose the wavelength-modulated SPR sensor (Figure 1.). The graphene film was synthesized via thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. Synthesized graphene was transferred on the core exposed region of fiber optic by lift-off method. Detected analytes were biotinylated double cross-over DNA structure (DXB) and Streptavidin (SA) as the ligand-receptor binding model. The preliminary results showed the SPR signal shifts for the DXB and SA binding rather than the concentration change.

살충제와 농약의 성분인 유기인 화합물 측정을 위한 광섬유 바이오센서가 개발되었다. 개발된 광섬유 바이오센서에서는 유기인 화합물에 의해 직접적으로 저해되는 AChE효소 (acetylcholinesterase)의 반응이 용액 pH의 변화를 일으킨다는 원리를 이용하여 그 변화를 광을 이용하여 측정함으로써 유기인 화합물을 측정하였다. pH 변화 정도를 광을 이용하여 측정하기 위해서 사용되어진 효소의 반응과 광원에 알맞은 산-염기 지시약인 리트머스를 선택하였다. 장시간 사용 시에도 활성을 유지시키고 재사용을 가능하게 하기 위하여 AChE효소는 Ca-alginate gel에 포괄시켜 센서의 반응기 내벽에 고정화시켰다. 장치를 소형화하고 원격 측정이 가능하게 하기 위하여 광섬유를 사용하여 빛을 전송하였다. 광원으로써는 생성물의 영향을 받지 않는 632 nm의 파장을 갖는 He-Ne laser를 사용하였고, 광섬유는 가격이 저렴한 플라스틱 광섬유를 사용하였고, 광 수신 장치로는 phototransistor를 사용하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 광섬유 바이오센서는 유기인 화합물의 농도에 대하여 0 ppm 에서 1.5 ppm까지 선형적인 신호를 가지고 있으며 측정 시간은 5분이었다.

We propose the performance enhancing method optimization of an asynchronous 2.5 Gbps/1.25 Gbps optical subscriber network with inverse RZ (Return to Zero) coded downstream and NRZ (Non Return to Zero) upstream re-modulation by adjusting threshold level control of a receiver. We theoretically analyze the BER (Bit Error Rate) performance by modeling the occurrence of BER by simulation with MATLAB according to the types of downstream data. The results have shown that the normalized threshold level in an optical receiver could be saturated at 1/3 as the SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) increases. The needed SNR for obtaining the BER $10^{-9}$ can be reduced by $\sim$5 dB by optimizing the normalized threshold level at 1/3 instead of by using the conventional receiver with threshold level of 0.5. The proposed system can be a useful technology for asynchronous optical access networks with asymmetric upstream and downstream data rates, because the improved minimum receiving power could replace a light source with a source with lower power and lower cost in an OLT (Optical Line Termination).

전기적 제한 방출 시스템을 이용한 페록사이드 측정용 광바이오센서가 개발되었다. HPA를 포함한 PEOx와 PMAA의 고분자 복합체는 전류를 가하게 되면 붕괴되면서, HPA를 방출한다. 고분자 복합체의 붕괴 속도 및 방출되는 HPA의 양은 가해지는 전류의 세기에 비례했다. 페록사이드는 HPA와 페록시다아제효소에 의해 반응되어 형광 물질인 DBDA가 생성되었다. Xenon램프를 이용하여 DBDA를 여기시키고 발생되는 형광을 광섬유와 광다이오드어레이로 측정하였다. 측정된 DBDA의 형광의 변화는 페록사이드의 농도에 비례하였다. 페록시다아제 효소는 Ca-alginate를 이용하여 반응기내벽에 고정화시켰다. 개발된 광바이오센서는 페록사이드 0.025mM - 1.0mM 농도의 측정 범위를 가지며, 페록사이드의 단계 변화에 대한 반복성 있는 센서신호가 조사되었다. 효소 반응과 물질전달현상을 통하여 센서의 수학적 모델을 구성하였으며, 제안된 모델은 실험 결과와 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었다.
