최근의 철도차량은 안전성 향상 및 승객에의 멀티미디어 서비스 제공을 위해 광대역 열차통신네트워크를 설치하고 있다. 플라스틱 광섬유(POF)는 일반 광섬유에 비해 직경이 크고 내구성 및 유지보수성이 우수하기 때문에, 진동 및 온도변화가 큰 환경에서 운행하는 철도차량에 적합하다. 이에 따라, 철도차량내 모든 장치를 POF를 이용하여 All-IP 방식으로 접속하는 1Gbps급 열차통신네트워크를 구현하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 한국철도규격에 의거한 특성 시험을 통하여 POF가 철도차량의 진동 및 온도변화 환경에 적합하다는 것을 확인하였으며, POF 인터페이스를 갖는 전용의 Layer-2 스위치를 개발하였다. 개발된 Layer-2 스위치와 POF를 이용하여 시운전중인 도시철도차량에 1Gbps급 열차통신네트워크를 구성하고 데이터 전송률과 손실률을 측정하여 성능을 검증하였다. POF는 경제성도 우수하며, 향후 철도차량용 통신네트워크는 POF 기반으로 광대역화될 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose : To research the Skin Resistance Variability(SRV) of premature ovarian failure(POF) patients by Autonomic Bioelectric Response Recorder(ABR-2000 system, Meridian, Korea) and report the specific results in SRV of POF patients. Methods : We measured SRV of 17 POF Patients who came to Conmaul Oriental Medical Hospital during August 2005 ${\sim}$ July 2006 by ABR-2000 system. We analyzed the results which height of graph Part was converted into 0${\sim}$10, and the readings of Low/Normal/High. Results : The mean value of graph height on each(1, 2, 3) part is lower than normal range(4-6) in POF patients. The distribution ratio of Low/Normal/High on each(1, 2, 3) part shows that there are much more Low proportion in POF patients. Conclusion : The low graph height of POF patients on 1, 2, 3 part means that conductivity & capacitance of POF patients is low, especially on head.

Based on the distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) technique, plastic optical fibers (POFs) are attractive candidates to measure deformations of geotechnical structures because they can withstand large strains before rupture. Understanding the mechanical interaction between an embedded POF and the surrounding soil or rock is a necessary step towards establishing an effective POF-based sensing system for geotechnical monitoring. This paper describes a first attempt to evaluate the feasibility of POF-based soil deformation monitoring considering the POF-soil interfacial properties. A series of pullout tests were performed under various confining pressures (CPs) on a jacketed polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) POF embedded in soil specimens. The test results were interpreted using a fiber-soil interaction model, and were compared with previous test data of silica optical fibers (SOFs). The results showed that the range of CP in this study did not induce plastic deformation of the POF; therefore, the POF-soil and the SOF-soil interfaces had similar behavior. CP was found to play an important role in controlling the fiber-soil interfacial bond and the fiber measurement range. Moreover, an expression was formulated to determine whether a POF would undergo plastic deformation when measuring soil deformation. The plasticity of POF may influence the reliability of measurements, especially for monitored geo-structures whose deformation would alternately increase and decrease. Taken together, these results indicate that in terms of the interfacial parameters studied here the POF is feasible for monitoring soil deformation as long as the plastic deformation issue is carefully addressed.

광통신 분야의 연구 중 근거리 광통신 분야에 적용하기 위한 Plastic Optical Fiber(POF)에 관한 연구와 개발이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. POF의 광전송 특성을 결정짓는 요소 중 가장 중요한 특성이 바로 굴절률 분포이다. 이에 따라 그동안 다양한 형태의 POF 굴절률 측정 방법이 연구되어 왔다. 기존 Glass Optical Fiber의 굴절률 분포 측정 방법 중 가장 일반적이고 효과적인 방법 중 하나는 coherent 빛의 간섭을 이용한 transverse interferograms을 분석하는 방법으로 Fizeau 간섭계와 같은 간섭계를 이용하여 위상변화를 측정하고 측정한 위상을 tomography적인 해석방법을 통해 굴절률 분포를 계산하는 방법이다.

We have fabricated a multi-mode nonlinear plastic optical fiber (POF) using organic nonlinear optical materials and demonstrated the propagation of light. The refractive indices of core and cladding are 1.5240 and 1.5172. We made a POF preform by rod-in tube method. The core diameter of the fabricated POF is about $30{\mu}m$. We evaluated the temperature characteristics of POF. The sensitivity is $0.345{\;}mW/^{\circ}C$ and the linearity of sensor was good.

In this paper, we present an in line plastic-optical-fiber (POF) temperature sensor based on intensity modulation. The in line POF temperature sensor is composed of a POF, including an in-fiber micro hole filled with reversible thermochromic material, the transmittance of which depends on temperature. The reversible thermochromic material was cobalt chloride/polyvinyl butyral gel. A cobalt chloride solution of concentration 30.8 mM was formulated using 10% water/90% ethanol (v/v) solution, and gelled by dissolving polyvinyl butyral in this solution. Four types of in line POF sensors, with in line micro holes of four different diameters, were fabricated to measure temperature in the range of 25 to 75 ℃. The output optical power of all of these in line POF temperature sensors was inversely proportional to the temperature; the relation between output power and temperature was approximately linear, and the sensitivity was proportional to the diameter of the in-fiber micro hole. The experimental results indicate that an in line POF sensor can be used effectively for measuring moderate temperatures.

CF(Circular Fresnel) POF(Plastic Optical Fiber) daylighting system is a beam daylighting system utilizing solar direct beam radiation. In this study, a CF POF daylighting system has been introduced, developed and applied to KIER test buildings. The CF POF daylighting system consists of three parts: light collector, light transmitter and light diffuser. The light collector includes a Circular Fresnel lens focusing solar direct illuminance by sun tracking. The light transmitter contains the POF cable which has light transmission loss of 4.5% per meter. The light diffuser has about 80% diffuser efficiency. This study aims to evaluate of POF daylighting system performance. At the results of a CFPOF system performance evaluation, the theoretical CFPOF system efficiency was 41.9% and the actual CFPOF system efficiency at the KIER test building was 37.5%. The difference was due partly to the connecting efficiency.

To evaluate the antitumor activity and antimetastatic effects of Polygoni Orientalis Fructus(POF), studies were done experimentally. The results were obtained as follows : 1. In cytotoxicity against A549, and XF498 cell concentration inhibiting cell growth up to below 30% of control was recognized at $200{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ of POF. Also POF inhibited cell growth up to below 30% of control against SK-OV-3, SK-MEL-2, HCT15 and MCF-7 cell at $100{\mu}g/m{\ell}$. 2.

Refractive index monitoring using U-shaped POF (Plastic optical fiber) in the sugar solution and salt solution were performed. The various bending losses of U-shaped POF due to the environmental refractive index changes of the measurand solution. The loss increases according to the amounts of solute in the solution which causes the refractive index change in the solution.

본 논문은 플라스틱 광섬유(POF)를 연결한 네트워크에서 광 부호분할다중접근(OCDMA)기술의 성능을 분석한다. 최근에 POF는 무게가 가볍고, 중심선의 직경이 크며, 유연하고, 쉽게 설치할 수 있는 특성이 있기 때문에 POF를 이용한 광전송은 커다란 주목을 받고 있다. 특히 POF의 광대역(broad band) 특성은 OCDMA기술에 기초한 네트워크 연결 전송매체로서 각광을 받고 있다. 일반적인 OCDMA 시스템은 전송로의 수량이 BER특성에 의해서 단지 제한된 단위만을 동시에 연결하고 전송할 수 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 새로운 다우선 예약프로토콜을 제안하였다. 이 프로토콜과 분산 조정 알고리듬을 이용하여, 통신로 내부와 목표지로 가는 정보의 충돌을 피할 수 있다. 이 프로토콜은 시간지연이 서로 다른 다매체정보의 전송을 효과적으로 지원할 수 있다. 데이터 분석과 모의실험을 실행하여, 여러 시스템 매개변수에 의존하는 네트워크 출력과 평균지연을 조사했다. 그 결과, OCDMA기술에 근거한 POF를 네트워크를 사용하는 다우선 예약 프로토콜이 효율적이라는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
