The objective of this paper is to develop a fiber-optic acoustic emission(AE) sensor applicable to on-line monitoring systems which is suitable for long-distance signal transmission. An AE sensor was developed by use of a fiber-optic cantilever and an extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer(EEPI). The efficiency of signal processing was improved by driving the high frequency AE signals into the low frequency ones. In order to verify the developed sensor, the tensile and the pencil lead fracture(PLF) tests were performed including the experiment showing the Kaiser effect. Form tests, AE signals were successfully detected in the elastic-plastic deformation range, especially higher signals at the crack propagation. The developed sensor was expected to be used for an on-line monitoring of crack propagation in mechanical system.

In this pager, the authors have implemented a blood flow simulator and a LDF(laser Doppler flowmeter) probe using self-mixing effect of the laser diode. The purpose of the blood flow simulator is to simulate microvascular blood flow in tissue. It consists of melinex film (thickness = $123\;{\mu}m$) which has similar optical characteristics to epidermis and porous polyethylene filter (Vyon, porosity 35%, mean pore size $50\;{\mu}m$, thickness=1 mm) which has similar optical characteristics to dermis. The blood flowmeter probe consists of laser diode(5 mW, 780 nm wavelength), CD lens(focal length 12 mm). current-to-voltage converter, highpass filter, and premplifier. It doesn't need optical fiber, therefore, implementation of the probe is simpler than conventional probe using optical fiber.

온도 변화에 의하여 로드셀이나 스트레인 게이지의 결과값이 변하기 때문에 로드셀이나 전기저항식 변형율계를 이용하는 기계적 장치는 주변 온도의 변화에 의하여 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 전기저항식 변형율계 타입의 콘이 가지는 문제점과 한계를 극복하고 관입과 동시에 연속적으로 온도보상이 가능한 직경 1~7mm의 초소형 광섬유 마이크로콘을 개발하였다. 광섬유는 머리카락 굵기의 작은 직경을 가지고 있어 원하는 크기의 센서를 구성할 수 있고 전기적 신호인 전압을 측정하는 것이 아니라 빛의 파장변화를 감지하여 변형율로 변환하게 되므로 주변 조건에 의한 간섭 영향이 거의 없다. 개발된 콘의 온도보상 효과를 검증하기 위해 외력이 없는 상태에서 콘 주변의 온도를 변화시키는 온도시험을 실시하였다. 주변 온도에 따라 측정전압이 변화되는 전기저항식 변형률계 콘과는 달리 광섬유 센서를 적용한 콘은 일정한 값을 유지하는 것으로 나타났으며 관입과 동시에 지중의 온도변화를 연속적으로 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 다층지반 콘관입시험에서는 관입되는 동안 교란영역이 적고 분해능이 뛰어나 선단지지력의 변화만으로도 다층지반의 경계를 명확하게 탐지할 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서는 광섬유 센서를 이용한 초소형 마이크로콘으로 다층지반을 효과적으로 탐지할 수 있으며 지중의 온도 영향이 고려된 순수한 선단저항력을 획득할 수 있음을 보여준다.

This study presents a novel monitoring technique for underwater high-voltage direct current (HVDC) cables based on the Distributed Acoustic Sensor (DAS). The proposed technique utilizes vibration and acoustic signals generated on HVDC cables to monitor their condition and detect events such as earthquakes, shipments, tidal currents, and construction activities. To implement the monitoring system, a DAS based on phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry (Φ-OTDR) system was designed, fabricated, and validated for performance. For the HVDC cable monitoring experiments, a testbed was constructed on land, mimicking the cable burial method and protective equipment used underwater. Defined various scenarios that could cause cable damage and conducted experiments accordingly. The developed DAS system achieved a maximum measurement distance of 50 km, a distance measurement interval of 2 m, and a measurement repetition rate of 1 kHz. Extensive experiments conducted on HVDC cables and protective facilities demonstrated the practical potential of the DAS system for monitoring underwater and underground areas.

인가 전압에 의해 수축 팽창하는 원통형 PZT tube와 단일모드 광섬유를 이용하여 마이켈슨 간섭계형 교류 전류센서를 제작하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 신호처리장치는 측정전류의 주파수에 무관하게 전류의 크기를 측정할 수 있었다. 전류의 크기는 교류 전류의 반주기 내에 생기는 간섭무늬의 개수로 측정하였다. 간섭무늬의 개수는 전류의 크기에 따라 선형적으로 변화하였으며, 온도변화($-20^{\circ}C{\sim}\;80^{\circ}C$)에 따른 오차는 5% 이내였다.

It is practically required to develop an optical transmission system, for the diagnosis of electric power apparatus, which enables to distinguish the right signals related to the partial discharge taken place inside the apparatus. These partial discharges are transformed into ultra sonic signals by the sensor and then used for the voltage application to pokels cell. Afterwards, the modulated laser beam is transmitted through the optical fiber. Throughout this work, a laser-beam based detecting system is developed and permits us to reproduce the transmitted signals indirectly without electromagnetic interference. For this purpose the characteristics of this system is well analyzed by means of different type of signals from function generator.

In this paper, a magneto-optic modulator has been designed by using single crystal BSO and polycrystal ZnSe as Faraday cells. And practical core-type optical current sensors using pure iron and permalloy have been prepared and experimented. In order to obtain efficient magnetic field detection, LED(NEC OD08358, 0.87 $\mu$m) was used as optical source, PIN-PD(OD-8454)as optical receiver and multi-mode optical fiber (100/140$\mu$m) as transmission line. The characteristics matrix of the optical element was calculated by Stokes parameter, and optic modulation characteristics equations were derived by Muller matrix. Electromagnetic analysis program (FLUX 2D, micro VAX 3600) by finite element method was used to find the magnetic flux density around the core. The measuring error of the output voltage to input current has been masured below 5% in the range of 50A to 1000A. As the temperature was changed from -20$^{\circ}C$ to 60$^{\circ}C$, the maximum measurement error of the optical output has been found to be 0.5% at 60$^{\circ}C$. These experimental results show good temperature and linearity characteristics. The SNR of the overall system was 47dB in case of 600A (250.2 Oe) conductor current and the system has good noise immunity.

This paper examines the temperature characteristics of an Optical CT (optical current transformer) using the Faraday effect for measuring high current in a super high voltage-power apparatus. It is performed as follows by the sensor for embodying Faraday effect. $\cdot$ A single-mode optical fiber capable of maintaining a polarization state is used. $\cdot$ A light source is applied at 1310[nm] to a Laser Diode. $\cdot$ The Linear of Faraday effect to a large current is evaluated and $\cdot$ A possible application using an Optical CT was shown. An Influence of Faraday effect to the surrounding temperature measured -40~50[$^{\circ}C$], and the characteristic of the current sensitivity was reported. An application using the results of the temperature compensation system was used in order to compensate for surrounding temperatures. A possibility of applying Optical CT for electric power apparatus was advanced further. We were able to confirm that this temperature calibration method can minimize the fluctuation of the output signal depending on the temperature conditions.

Since Korea was initiated a industrialization, many transmission lines have been installed to meet the increasing demand for the electric power. In large city, underground transmission lines were widely installed because of the environmental issue. But there have been appeared many failures on the lines, such as the external scar of cable, a fire in the culvert, overheating of cable, and so on. There have been many studies to monitor them and improve the reliability of the power supply. As a method monitoring the lines, a DTS(Distributed Temperature Sensor) system is developed and applied. This system monitors the lines and predicts the failures, using a optical fiber sensor. This paper describes this DTS system and its application for the underground transmission lines.

Today, peoples have much interest about safety while an abnormal weather phenomenon is weighted increased. R.C buildings are consisting of main loaded members. Concrete are brittle materials and they are which come to brittle fracture rapidly by progress of cracks. With the exchange of such research in inside and outside of the country, the structure measurement method of having used PZT and the optical fiber (FBG) will be the actual condition which has accomplished the stock. Specially, seismic activity that gives damage to construction and members happens in on time. Therefore, the purpose of this study is the fundamental research which detects damagesof main members using the compound sensor which consisted of the radio sensors of resistance, PZT, and FM system.
