21세기 광통신 분야는 보다 많은 정보를 동시에 전송하기 위해 다양한 다중화 방식들을 요구 받고 있다. 광섬유 Brags격자 소자를 이용한 모든 광 분기/결합 장치는 분기/결합할 수 있는 신호가 광섬유 격자 소자의 Bragg파장에 의해 정해지므로 하나의 광섬유 격자 소자는 고정된 한 채널만을 분기, 결합할 수 있다는 단점을 지니고 있다. 그러나 광섬유 격자에 온도와 스트레인(strain) 같은 외부 물리량을 가하게 되면 광섬유 격자의 주기가 변하게 되어 반사파장이 고정되지 않고 파장을 가변 할 수 있는 장점을 가지게 된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 광섬유 격자 소자에 가해진 온도, 스트레인에 의해 Bragg파장이 변화하는 성질을 이용하여 파장 가변형 Bragg 격자를 제작 및 실험을 통하여 전광필터 특성에 대하여 제시하였다.

In this paper, we propose a tunable drop/pass filter in the form of composed of Mach-Zehnder interferometer, to which a fiber grating and two PZTs are attached. The proposed drop/pass filter drops a part of signal power at a specific wavelength and pass the remnant of the signal to the next node in WDM network. Our simulation results show that the optical feedback is less than 2% and the drop to pass ratio can be made bigger than 10% if the phase difference between the two arms is within .+-.0.2.pi. from (2m+1).pi.. Also, the output powers at drop prot and pass port are measured to be maximum at the phase difference of .pi./2 and .pi., respectively, as expected.

본 논문에서는 단일홉 WDM 통신망중에서 가장 많은 주목을 받고 있는 BSN(Broadcast and Select Network)구조와 이러한 통신망에서 발생할 수 있는 트래픽의 불균형에 의한 성능저하를 분석하고 이에 대한 해결책으로 병렬 하드웨어 구조를 갖는 어레이 파장가변필터(AWTF; Array Wavelength Tunable Filter)를 이용하여 동시성 서비스를 지원할 수 있는 WDM 통신망의 구조를 제안한다. 채널의 구조상에서는 SCMD(Single Control channel, Multiple Data channel)방식을 사용하여 다중채널 통신을 가능하도록 하였다. 또한, Uniform 트래픽의 경우와 Nonuniform 트래픽의 경우를 모두 고려하여 각각의 throughput을 비교, 분석하였고 WDM 통신망의 확장과 트래픽의 불균형에 대해서 요구되는 QoS(Quality of Service)를 보장할 수 있는 최적의 어레이 파장 가변 필터의 개수를 추출함으로써 최적의 성능을 보장할 수 있는 BSN구조의 WDM 통선망 셜계를 가능하게 하였다.

In this article, a smart multifunctional optical system-on-a-chip (SOC) sensor platform is presented and its application for fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor interrogation in optical sensor networks is investigated. The smart SOC sensor platform consists of a superluminescent diode as a broadband source, a tunable microelectromechanical system (MEMS) based Fabry-P$\acute{e}$rot filter, photodetectors, and an integrated microcontroller for data acquisition, processing, and communication. Integrated with a wireless sensor network (WSN) module in a compact package, a smart optical sensor node is developed. The smart multifunctional sensor platform has the capability of interrogating different types of optical fiber sensors, including Fabry-P$\acute{e}$rot sensors and Bragg grating sensors. As a case study, the smart optical sensor platform is demonstrated to interrogate multiplexed FBG strain sensors. A time domain signal processing method is used to obtain the Bragg wavelength shift of two FBG strain sensors through sweeping the MEMS tunable Fabry-P$\acute{e}$rot filter. A tuning range of 46 nm and a tuning speed of 10 Hz are achieved. The smart optical sensor platform will open doors to many applications that require high performance optical WSNs.

A distributed FBG temperature sensor system was constructed for the use in protection of electric power system. A F-P wavelength tunable filter is used converting temperature-induced wavelength variations to temporal peak locations. We used Gaussian line-fitted algorithm to alleviate the error caused by quantization and electrical noises. The experimental results showed much better accuracy than the raw peak-detection scheme.

A novel fiber-optic sensor system is suggested in which fiber Bragg grating sensors are demodulated by a wavelength-sweeping fiber laser source and a spectrometer. The spectrometer consists of a diffraction grating and a 512-pixel photo-diode array. The reflected Bragg wavelength information is transformed into spatial intensity distribution on the photo-diode array. The peak locations linearly correspond to the Bragg wavelengths, regardless of the nonlinearities in the wavelength tuning mechanism of the fiber laser. The high power density of the fiber laser enables obtaining high signal-to-noise ratio outputs. The improved demodulation characteristics were experimentally demonstrated with a fiber Bragg grating sensor array with 5 gratings. The sensor outputs were in much more linear fashion compared with the conventional tunable band-pass filter demodulation. Also it showed advantages in signal processing, due to the high level of photo-diode array signals, over the broadband light source system, especially in measurement of fast varying dynamic physical quantities.

In this paper, we proposed the design and calibration method for the near infrared Acousto-Optic Tunable Filter (AOTF). The theory and design principles of AOTF for the visible light are well known since I.C.Chang has developed the parallel tangent condition for the non-collinear AOTF. Deflection angle, frequency-wavelength relation, spectral resolution, etc. were calculated based on the theory of AOTF. From this result, important parameters - incident and acoustic angle - to fabricate AOTF were decided. We measured the spectral resolution and the relation between electrical driving frequency and the Optical wavelength of diffracted light to calibrate the near infrared AOTF. About 40 ∼ 80 MHz electrical frequency was required to get 1200 ∼ 2200 nm near infrared light. Spectral resolution was less than 10 nm in the near infrared region.

The Acousto-Optic Tunable Filter (AOTF) is a high-speed full-field monochromator which generates two spectrally filtered light beams with ordinary and extraordinary polarization state. Thus, AOTF is widely used to build full-field spectral imaging system or spectral domain interferometer. However, AOTF has a big problem that the angle of diffracted light changes according to the scanning of wavelength, which makes image shift on CCD plane In this paper, we propose an analytic design of prism system to compensate the image shift. The detailed analysis of light paths in a prism and basic experimental results are presented to verify our proposed compensation method. The experimental results agree with simulation results based on suggested prism model and image shift is minimized at optimal condition. Also, it can be extended to compensate the image shift for ordinary and extraordinary polarized light simultaneously.

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.
