In this study, we have fabricated two types of non-invasive fiber-optic respiration sensors that can measure respiratory signals during magnetic resonance (MR) image acquisition. One is a nasal-cavity attached sensor that can measure the temperature variation of air-flow using a thermochromic pigment. The other is an abdomen attached sensor that can measure the abdominal circumference change using a sensing part composed of polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) tubes, a mirror and a spring. We have measured modulated light guided to detectors in the MRI control room via optical fibers due to the respiratory movements of the patient in the MR room, and the respiratory signals of the fiber-optic respiration sensors are compared with those of the BIOPAC$^{(R)}$ system. We have verified that respiratory signals can be obtained without deteriorating the MR image. It is anticipated that the proposed fiber-optic respiration sensors would be highly suitable for respiratory monitoring during surgical procedures performed inside an MRI system.

When the charged particle travels in transparent medium with a velocity greater than that of light in the same medium, the electromagnetic field close to the particle polarizes the medium along its path, and then the electrons in the atoms follow the waveform of the pulse which is called as Cerenkov light or radiation. This type of radiation can be easily observed in a spent fuel storage pit. In optical fibers, the Cerenkov light also can be generated due to their dielectric components. Accordingly, the radiation-induced light signals can be obtained using optical fibers without any scintillating material. In this study, to measure the intensities of Cerenkov radiation induced by gamma-rays, we have fabricated the fiber-optic Cerenkov radiation sensor system using silica optical fibers, plastic optical fibers, multi-anode photomultiplier tubes, simulated spent fuel assembly and a scanning system. To characterize the Cerenkov radiation generated in optical fibers, the intensities of Cerenkov radiation generated in the silica and plastic optical fibers were measured. Also, we measured the longitudinal distribution of gamma rays emitted from the Ir-192 isotope by using the fiber-optic Cerenkov radiation sensor system and simulated spent fuel assembly.

광섬유 직물 기반 스마트 의류가 국, 내외로 개발되고 있는 실정이며, 기존의 일반적인 광섬유는 직물화가 어렵고 내구성, 내수성이 결여되어 세탁 및 유지 관리의 한계로 인해 에칭된 광섬유사의 표면에 합성수지를 코팅 처리하는 '내수성 광섬유사 가공 기술'이 최근 개발 되었다. 본 연구에서는 제직 후 측광가공 된 유연 광섬유 직물을 대상으로 광섬유사 길이에 따른 특성과 광원 색채에 따른 발광 특성을 분석, 평가하여 디지털 컬러 의류의 적용 적합성을 파악하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 광섬유사 길이에 따른 총 4가지 유연 광섬유 직물시료를 제직하여, 이를 대상으로 광원 색채에 따른 유연 광섬유 직물의 휘도, 물리적 가시도, 지각적 가시도를 측정함으로써 발광특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 10cm인 유연 광섬유 직물과 녹색 광원을 사용한 경우가 최대가시거리 100m로 디지털 컬러 의류 즉, 안전보호 기능의 산악복 적용에 가장 적합한 발광효과를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 본 연구의 결과는 앞으로 유연 광섬유 직물 적용 의류 개발과 관련된 후속 연구의 자료로서 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Using the embedded optical fiber sensor of totally-reflected extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer(TR-EFPI), longitudinal strains(Ex) of the core and skin layers in glass fiber reinforced plastic(GFRP) cross-ply composite laminates have been measured. Transmission optical microscopy was employed to study the damage formation around the TR-EFPI sensor. It was observed that values of ex in the interior of the skin layer and the core layer measured by embedded TR-EFPI sensor was significantly higher than that of the specimen surface measured by strain gauges. The experimental results agreed well with those from finite element analysis on the basis of uniform stress model. Large strains in the core layer led to the occurrence of transverse cracks which drastically reduced the strain at failure of optical fiber sensor embedded in the core layer.

In this study, we have fabricated a fiber-optic pH sensor which is composed of a light source, plastic optical fibers and a spectrometer. As an indicator, a phenol red is used, and a pH liquid solution is prepared by mixing of phenol red and various kinds of pH buffer solutions in these experiments. The emitting light from a light source is guided by plastic optical fibers to the pH liquid solution, and the optical characteristic of a light is changed in the pH liquid solution according to its color change. Therefore, we have measured the intensities and wavelength shifts of the modulated lights, which are changed due to the color variations of phenol red at different pH values, by using of a spectrometer for spectral analysis. Also, the relationships between the pH values of liquid solutions and the optical properties of modulated light according to the change of color of phenol red are obtained.

A Rhodamine-based fiber-optic sensor has been developed to detect mercury ions in aqueous environments. The fiber-optic sensor was composed of a mercury-sensing thin film, plastic optical fibers, and a spectrometer. The mercury-sensing thin film with the synthesized Rhodamine derivatives was fabricated with Sol-Gel process. A light emitted by a light source is guided by plastic optical fibers into the thin film in an aqueous solution and a reflected light is analyzed with the spectrometer. The experiment exhibits that an absorbance in the thin film is increased as mercury concentration is increased in the solution and the absorbance by mercury is higher than that by other heavy metals. The fiber-optic sensor exhibits high chromogenic phenomenon of mercury ions among various heavy metals and the correlation between absorbance and mercury concentration in the aqueous environments.
