To substitute TLS in the hybrid system which is combined with Sagnac interferometer and fiber bragg grating (FBG) it is necessary to investigate how the laser source (TLS and CW) and sensor material variate the response of fiber optic sensor. Two different hollow cylinder type mandrel materials are proposed which are PTFE and PTFE+carbon and 18 m optical fiber is wounded at the mandrel surface. CW laser source experiments had been done in the oil tank which is filled with transformer oil in the 1 kHz~20 kHz frequency range. Also Sagnac interferometer fiber optic sensor is combined with FBG called hybrid system and TLS used as a light source. Based on the experimental results PTFE sensor showed more higher magnitude of detection signal rather than carbon sensor and this result is agreement with the McMahon's theoretical results. Phase variation is inversely proportional to the elastic modulus of the mandrel material. In PTFE fiber sensor, tunable laser source showed more higher performance rather than CW case. Therefore, TLS fiber optic sensor can be applied to the hybrid system which is combined with Sagnac and FBG.

A polarization-independent multiwavelength-switchable fiber filter is proposed based on a polarization beam splitter and fiber coupler, which can function as a polarization-independent transmission or reflection-type interleaving filter. The proposed filter consists of a polarization beam splitter and a Sagnac birefringence loop composed of a 50:50 coupler, high birefringent fibers, and two quarter-wave plates. In the proposed filter, a transmission-type interleaver with a channel isolation > 18 dB or a reflection-type one with a channel isolation of ${\sim}3$ dB, whose channel spacing and switching displacement were 0.8 and 0.4 nm in common, respectively, could be obtained. A channel interleaving operation could be performed by the proper control of waveplates within the Sagnac birefringence loop.

모드록킹된 광섬유 레이저 자이로스코프(ML-FLaG)$^{(1)}$ 는 일반 거울과 Sagnac 루프 거울로 이루어진 공진기 안에 이득 매질이 포함된 광섬유 레이저의 형태를 가진다. Sagnac 루프 거울을 서로 반대 방향으로 진행하는 두 빛 사이의 위상차를 변조시키면 루프 거울의 반사율이 변조되는데, 여기서 위상 변조 주파수를 공진기의 종모드 간격과 일치시키면 공진기 왕복 주기에 두 개의 펄스가 들어가는 모드록킹된 펄스열을 얻을 수 있다. 이 두 펄스 사이의 시간 간격은 회전율에 따라서 변하기 때문에, 두 펄스 사이의 시간 간격 변화를 측정하면 회전 각속도를 알아낼 수 있다.

The spatial coherence function of laser beam was measured by using a Sagnac interferometer and self referencing technique. For laser beam passing through a narrow slit, absolute value of measured spatial coherence function becomes more symmetric as the slit size is reduced. For diverging beams, the spatial coherence function shows fast oscillations in its real and imaginary parts. We explain this by using a Gaussian Schell-model. One can use this measurement method to study and characterize the property of light field coming out of small sample.

In this paper, we proposed the new wavelength tunable filter for wide tunability of fiber ring laser. The proposed filter consists of the cascaded connection of Fiber Reflection Mach-Zehnder Interferometer and Sagnac filter or of hybrid filter and Fiber Reflection Mach-Zehnder Interferometer. The simulation shows that the continuous tunable range of 50nm can be obtained and that more stable single mode operation of ring laser can be expected due to narrow FWHM. of filter spectrum.

Optical fiber sensor is a subject which has been attracted considerable attention in recent year. Especially, it is being developed for the detection and location of partial discharge in oil-filled transformers. In this paper, we propose and experimentally demonstrate directivity and sensitivity of a hollow cylindrical mandrel sensor. The sound source is a PZT actuator of hollow cylinder type. Several layers of the fiber laminated around the mandrel surface and experiments were performed on three axis modes. The experimental results can be applied to analyze detected signals optimally.

The preliminary results on the application of optical fiber sensor(OFS) for locations of ultrasonic signals in underwater are presented and analyzed. The OFS utilizing the principle of Sagnac interferometry was designed and the hollowed cylindrical mandrel wound by single mode optical fiber was used as sensing component. The ultrasonic signal source was simulated by the PZT actuator operated with function generator. It has been shown that the OFS could detect the signals less affected by ultrasonic path comparing to conventional acousto-electric sensor and accurate location of ultrasonic signal could be carried out using two OFSs.

The spatial coherence function of multy-mode beam was measured by using a Sagnac interferometer and self referencing technique. For leaner polarization laser beam passing through a multy-mode fiber, its change value of spatial mode and polarization from stress of faber and input coupling angle.
