The overall design of the optical isolator system is prepared for the 1 TW Nd pulse laser. Two pockels cell optical switches are employed to suppress the amplified spontaneous emission and the backward reflection. The role of two Farady rotators is to protect the laser system from the light amplified after back reflection. One saturable absorber dye and one liquid crystal polarizer/isolator will also serve as optical isolator.

Since more than two decades, the conventional PD detecting systems have been employed in order to detect the partial discharges occurring inside the HV power apparatus for their diagnosis by use of different type of detection such as acoustic and UHF detection method. Regardless of their wide on-site application, a certain number of technical inconveniences have been disclosed as follows : multistage amplification. large volume, susceptible to external noise and high price. In this respect, the optical measurement techniques are widely proposed in these days in this concerned field ascribed to the following advantages : immune to external EMI noise and broad band response of the Pockels cell covering from DC to GHz. However, the reliability of several proposed techniques enabling to measure the electric field inside the large high power apparatus has not yet been well approved In this work, an optical measuring system, based on the Pockels effect, has been developed for measuring the field variation due to the corona discharges occurring in air and in oil. This system consists of He-Ne laser, single mode optical fiber, multi mode optical fiber, polarizing film, Y-cut LiNbO3 cell, photo detector, digital oscilloscope and personal computer with GPIB. For this purpose, optical probe has been specially designed and realized and put into the needle-plane electrode. Afterward, same measurement is carried out in oil. We demonstrate the characteristic of the optical measuring system and the measurement results.

In this paper, we investigated the sensitivity characteristics of $Bi_{12}BiO_{20}$ (BSO) voltage transformer (VT) by utilizing optical output measured according to the variation of ambient temperature and applied voltage. Fabricated BSO VT slightly showed the decrease of the accuracy in range of from $-20^{\circ}C$ to $50^{\circ}C$, on the other hand, the variation of the optical output result was not observed at the variation of applied voltage. We could finally confirm the temperature stability, applied voltage range, and the possibility that BSO could be applied for optical sensors in GIS system.

In this work, a possible new PD detection technique, based on the electro-optic effect, has been proposed. A proto-type probe sensor for detection partial discharge is made by $LiNbO_3$ Pockels cell, diachroic sheet polarizer and right-angle prism. The Mach-Zehnder interferometer system is proposed by using this sensor and this system is applied to detecting high electric field. we show the characteristic of the proto-type probe sensor and the design of a proposed probe type sensor.

In this paper, a fiber-optic voltage sensor for measurement of impulse voltage is implemented. A BSO single crystal is used as a Pockels cell. A new signal processing technique is adopted not only to avoid the influences of external perturbations of transmitting optical fiber, but to improve the frequency response characteristics of the optical voltage sensor. Experimental results show that proposed sensor has maximum ${\pm}$2.5% error rate, and has good frequency response.

Gas Insulated Switchgear 내부에서 발생되는 부분방전 검출을 위하여 다양한 UHF센서가 이용되고 있다. 그러나 출력단의 신호크기가 극히 미약하여 다단계 증폭과정과 아날로그/디지털 신호처리 기술들이 적용되고 있으며 이로 인한 신호 왜곡이 필연적이어서 그 해결방안이 다양하게 제시되고 있다. 하나의 방안으로서 UHF 출력신호를 광 신호 형태로 전송할 수 있는 광소자와 Optical Fiber의 장점을 이용하면 기존에 상용화되어 있으나 문제를 야기 시키는 신호처리 기술 대체가 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 GIS 진단 기술개발을 위하여 자체 개발된 광 기술을 적용하여 검출된 미세신호들의 왜곡 문제점 해결에 기여하고자한다.

Optical frequency comb generators have been investigated as a signal source capable of generating highly stabilized ultrafast pulse lasers. The precise control of the optical frequency comb spacing by RF clock signals has led to a revolutionary paradigm shift in the precise measurement of time and frequency. Optical frequency combs also have advantages such as stable frequency spacing, stable number of lines, and robustness. Owing to these characteristics, optical frequency combs have been applied to the fields of high precision optical clock, communication, spectroscopy, waveform generation, and astronomy. In this article, we introduce the properties (i.e., generation methods, advantages, and so on) of various optical frequency combs, and discuss the expected future technological trends and applications.

The waveforms of high voltage and current pulse were measured using laser measuring systems. Existing potential transformer and current transformer have low measuring precision because of resonance phenomena and waveform distortion due to the magnetic saturation. But using laser measurement, it is possible to obtain clear waveforms which have no effect of distortion and harmonic resonances. And electromagnetic interferences (EMI) in the measuring of high voltage and current pulse, but the optical measuring systems are not subjet to the influence of EMI. Using laser measuring systems based upon Pockels effect and Faraday effect is not free from any errors yet, but it could replace existing measuring systems by routine experiments and error corrections. And it needs that more research and development of optical crystals and equipments would be taken.

In this paper, we demonstrated a high-energy (285 mJ) mid-infrared flashlamp-pumped electro-optically 𝚀-switched Er:YAG master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) system and comprehensively investigated its temporal, spectral, and spatial characteristics. To increase the output energy, we optimized the delay between the timings at which the flashlamps of the master oscillator and power amplifier were triggered. In addition, the output energy was improved while minimizing thermal effects by cooling the MOPA system to a temperature slightly above the dew point. Consequently, the MOPA structure boosted the output energy without damaging the lithium niobate Pockels cell, which is a crucial element in 𝚀-switching. This design realized pulses with energies up to 0.285 J and pulse durations of approximately 140 ns at a wavelength of 2,936.7 nm. This high-energy mid-IR Er:YAG MOPA system can be used for various scientific, engineering, and military underwater applications.
