An optical temperature sensor based on the etched planar waveguide Bragg grating is developed and its performance is explored using theoretical and experimental methods. The planar waveguide is designed and fabricated using optical lithography and wet chemical etching. An efficient butt coupled optical fiber is used to examine the spectral characteristics of the grating sensor, and to investigate the grating parameters. The typical bandwidth and reflectivity of the surface etched grating has been ~0.2 nm and ~7%, respectively, at a wavelength of ~1,552 nm. The temperature-induced wavelength change of the optical sensor is found to be slightly non-linear over ${\sim}200^{\circ}C$ temperature range. Theoretical models for the grating response of the sensor based on waveguide and classical laminated plate deformation theories agree with experiments to within acceptable tolerance.

A novel UV sensor was manufactured and characterized using the evanescentfield coupling between fiber-planar waveguide (PWG) coupler and prism. A spiroxazine dye was chosen as planar waveguide because its photochromic isomerization induced by UV irradiation. A novel UV sensor was proposed to measure the variation of refractive index and absorption coefficient simultaneously. The wavelength responses of these sensors by UV exposure times were measured 0.48 nm/sec, 0.757 nm/sec, and ATR output power variations were measured $-0.424{\mu}W$/sec and $-0.62{\mu}W$/sec when UV exposure power were 3 mW and 5 mW, respectively.

Single-mode planar waveguide type UV sensor was fabricated using SU-8 and photochromic dye. Polymer waveguide was fabricated $10{\mu}m$ width and $2{\mu}m$ thickness for single-mode operation. The UV sensor had an absorbance with $0.0396{\sim}0.114$ absorbance/mW respectively when the 5 mm sensing area was irradiated with UV for 3 sec. And sensor had a linear properties by sensing area variation. Proposed single-mode sensor had more excellent properties of UV sensitivity than other UV sensors.

An ultrasonic based magnetostrictive position sensor (MPS) provides an indication of real target position. It determines the real target position by multiplying the propagation speed of ultrasonic wave and the time-of-flight between the receiving signals; one is the initial signal by an excitation current and the other is the reflection signal by the ultrasonic wave. The propagation speed of the ultrasonic wave depends on the temperature of the waveguide. Hence, the change of the propagation speed in various environments is a critical factor in terms of the positioning accuracy in the MPS. This means that the influence of the changes in the waveguide temperature needs to be compensated. In this paper, we presents a novel way to improve the positioning accuracy of MPSs using temperature compensation for waveguide. The proposed method used the inherent measurement blind area for the structure of the MPS, which can simultaneously measure the position of the moving target and the temperature of the waveguide without any additional devices. The average positional error was approximately -23.9 mm and -1.9 mm before and after compensation, respectively. It was confirmed that the positioning accuracy was improved by approximately 93%.

A photonic crystal coupled-cavity waveguide created on silicon-on-insulator is designed to act as a refractive-index-sensing device at midinfrared wavelengths around 4 ㎛. To realize high sensitivity, effort is made to engineer the structural parameters to obtain strong modal confinement, which can enhance the interaction between the resonance modes and the analyzed sample. By adjusting some parameters, including the shape of the cavity, the width of the coupling cavity, and the size of the surrounding dielectric columns, a high-sensitivity refractive-index sensor based on the optimized photonic crystal coupled-cavity waveguide is proposed, and a sensitivity of approximately 2620 nm/RIU obtained. When an analyte is measured in the range of 1.0-1.4, the sensor can always maintain a high sensitivity of greater than 2400 nm/RIU. This work demonstrates the viability of high-sensitivity photonic crystal waveguide devices in the midinfrared band.

차량의 윈드실드 유리 외면에서의 빗방울에 의한 산란광을 수신하여 빗방울 존재 유무를 판별하는 우적감지 센서를 제안한다. 기존의 윈드실드 유리를 광도파관으로 이용하는 우적감지 센서는 신호광을 윈드실드 유리 내부로 주입하기 위하여 정밀한 광학계를 필요로 하며 외부 진동이나 충격에 의해 광결합률에 영향을 주어 오작동되는 경우가 있었다. 제안하는 광도파관 외부에 존재하는 빗방울에 의한 산란광을 이용하는 우적감지 센서는 광도파관 내부에 신호광을 주입할 필요가 없으므로 별도의 광학계가 필요 없으며 외부 충격이나 진동의 영향을 받지 않는 장점이 있다. 스프레이어를 이용한 가상강우 환경에서, 제작된 광도파관 외부 산란광을 이용한 우적감지 센서에 대한 실험결과는 빗방울뿐만 아니라 안개와 같은 미세한 입자에도 반응하여 차량용 우적감지 센서로 이용할 수 있는 가능성을 보여주었다.

A study for discharge pattern analysis partial and fault location by use of UHF sensors in GIS. However, in the latter case, the results considered the velocity of EM waves modified by the waveguide characteristics of GIS bus bar were not reported yet.

We propose a novel micro surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor system based on polymer materials. The proposed SPR system consists of the incident medium with polymer waveguide and the gold thin film for sensing area. Using a polymer optical waveguide instead of a prism in SPR sensing system offers miniaturization, low cost, and potable sensing capability. The whole device performance was analyzed using the finite-difference time domain method. The optimum gold thickness in the attenuated total reflection mirror of polymer waveguide is around 50 nm and the resonance angle to generate surface plasmon wave is 68 degrees.
