We experimentally demonstrated a novel wavelength-swept laser using a cascaded Raman gain around 1310 nm. A 1064/1310 wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) coupler and coupled fiber Bragg gratings mirrors at 1064, 1117, 1175, 1240 nm are effectively used to increase the power efficiency in a laser ring cavity with highly non-linear fiber (HNLF) of 2 km. Linear wavelength sweeping is demonstrated with the 100 Hz triangular driving signal to fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter (FFP-TF) around the 1310 nm region. The measured sweeping range and output power were 27 nm and 2.1 mW, respectively, which are suitable for optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging.

We have demonstrated a high-power widely tunable sampled grating distributed Bragg reflector (SGDBR) laser integrated monolithically with a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) having a lateral tapered waveguide, which is the first to emit a fiber-coupled output power of more than 10 dBm using a planar buried heterostructure (PBH). The output facet reflectivity of the integrated SOA using a lateral tapered waveguide and two-layer AR coating of $TiO_2\;and\;SiO_2$ was lower than $3\;{\times}\;10^{-4}\;over$ a wide bandwidth of 85 nm. The spectra of 40 channels spaced by 50 GHz within the tuning range of 33 nm were obtained by a precise control of SG and phase control currents. A side-mode suppression ratio of more than 35 dB was obtained in the whole tuning range. Fiber-coupled output power of more than 11 dBm and an output power variation of less than 1 dB were obtained for the whole tuning range.

We present both theoretically and experimentally the thermo-optic characteristics of micro-structured optical fiber (MOF) filled with mixed liquid. The performance of MOF depends on the efficient interaction between the fundamental mode of the transmitted light wave and the tunable thermo-optic materials in the cladding. The numerical simulation indicates that the confinement loss of MOF presents higher temperature dependence with higher air-filling ratios $d/{\Lambda}$, longer incident wavelength and fewer air holes in the cladding. For the 4cm liquid-filled grapefruit MOF, we demonstrate from experiments that different proportions of solutions lead to tunable temperature sensitive ranges. The insertion loss and the extinction ratio are 3~4 dB and approximate 20 dB, respectively. The proposed liquid-filling MOF will be developed as thermo-optic sensor, attenuator or optical switch with the advantages of simple structure, compact configuration and easy fabrication.

We report a passive Q-switching of an all-fiber erbium-doped fiber laser delivering high pulse energy by using a high quality single-walled carbon nanotube saturable absorber (SWCNT-SA). A side-polished fiber coated with the SWCNT is employed as an in-line SA for evanescent wave interaction between the incident light and the SWCNT. This lateral interaction scheme enables a stable Q-switched fiber laser that generates high pulse energy. The central wavelength of the Q-switched pulse laser was measured as 1560 nm. A repetition rate frequency of the Q-switched laser is controlled from 78 kHz to 190 kHz by adjusting the applied pump power from 124 mW to 790 mW. The variation of pulse energy from 51 nJ to 270 nJ is also observed as increasing the pump power. The pulse energy of 270 nJ achieved at maximum pump power is 3 times larger than those reported in Q-switched all-fiber lasers using a SWCNT-SA. The tunable behaviors in pulse duration, pulse repetition rate, and pulse energy as a function of pump power are reported, and are well matched with theoretical expectation.

A tunable fiber laser and the Quadrature Sampling technique are used to construct highly sensitive fiber-optic distributive Bragg grating strain sensor system. By using a wavelength-modulated fiber laser, the variations of strain-dependent Bragg wavelengths are transformed into the variations of time-domain reflection profiles. The locations of profile peaks that correspond to the applied strains are demodulated using a precise wavelength encoder that uses a fiber-optic Mach-Zehnder interferometer and Quadrature Sampling technique. With the extremely high sensitive optical encoder, we could obtain not only high sensitivity, but also very linear responses that was impossible with the conventional techniques. This paper is attempted to report the theoretical and experimental results.

We successfully demonstrated a stabilized fiber-optic Mach­Zehnder interferometer filter with continuous tunability. The tunable scheme was achieved with fine wavelength control of an 1.3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ tunable laser diode used as a stabilization light source. The transmission wavelength of the tunable filter was shifted linearly with respect to the wavelength change of the stabilization light source.

광섬유 브래그 격자 센서는 광섬유의 코어의 굴절률 변조에 의해서 제작되며, 이 센서는 외부의 스트레인에 따라 브래그 파장이 변화하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 광섬유 브래그 격자 센서를 파장 영역에서 신호처리 할 수 있는 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. SLD와 F-P 필터로 구성된 sweep 반도체 광원과 F P 필터내의 PZT의 히스테리시스 특성을 보상하기 위한 에탈론 필터와 장기 계측을 위해 절대 파장 기준으로 온도 안정된 광섬유 브래그 격자를 사용하였다. 콘크리트 흄관에서 FBG 센서의 스트레인 응답 특성을 전기저항 센서와 비교하였다. 그리고 광섬유 격자 센서를 이용하여 장거리 변위의 측정 가능성을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 사냑 루프 필터와 광섬유 격자 기반의 파장가변 궤환 레이저를 제안하고 있다. 다중파장을 제공하기 위하여 복굴절을 이용한 사냑 루프를 적용하였고 0.33nm의 인접 채널간격을 가지도록 제작하였다. 광섬유 격자의 열 광학 효과에 의한 파장가변을 유도하기 위하여 니크롬선을 격자위에 감았다. 파장가변과 분리에 대한 특성을 측정하기 위하여 길이가 다른 니크롬선으로 두 종류의 광섬유 격자 소자를 제작하였으며, 열 저항으로 파장가변이 되게 하였다. 광섬유격자의 반사파장이 사냑루프 다중파장의 특정 파장과 일치하면 모드 잠김현상에 의해서 공진하고 발진하게 된다. 공진파장의 이동도는 1.75pm/mW이다. 이 시스템은 전력 시스템의 전력 변동을 모니터링하는 분야에 적용할 수 있다.
