We developed a fiber-optic Bragg grating sensor system using a SOA fiber laser for over heat detection in power systems. To compensate the nonlinear wavelength tuning of the fiber laser, we used fixed passband wavelengths from Fabry-Perot ITU filter as reference wavelengths. Gaussian line-fitting algorithm was also used to reduce the FBG peak detection error. Compared with a highest-peak-detection and a polynomial-fitting method, the proposed Gaussian fitting algorithm could drastically reduce the measurement errors. Also the SOA fiber laser made it possible to enhance the signal-to-noise-ratio even with several kilometers of lead fiber.

Vibration control of a composite plate with a surface-bonded fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor and piezoceramic actuators has been performed using a neural network based adaptive predictive control algorithm. For the detection of Bragg wavelength changes, two cavity lengths in Fabry-Perot read-out interferometers are used in order to produce two quadrature phase shifted signals. The FBG sensor system and real-time neuro-adaptive control algorithm could be applicable to diverse dynamic systems.

Optical fiber vibrations sensors (OFVSs) and extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer (EFPI) were used in damage monitoring of fiber-metal laminates(FML). The optical fiber vibration sensor and EFPI were applied in order to detect and evaluate the strain, damage and failure of FML. Damages in composites, such as matrix cracks, delamination and fiber breakage may occur as a result of excessive load, fatigue and low-velocity impacts. Indentation test was performed with the measurement of optical signal and acoustic emission (AE). The signals of the optical fiber vibration sensor due to damages were quantitatively evaluated by wavelet transform. It was found that damage information of comparable in quality to acoustic emission data could be obtained from the optical fiber vibration sensor signals.

The Brillouin spectrum of 4'-n-pentyl-4-cyano-biphenyl (5CB) liquid crystals homogeneously confined in a planar liquid crystal (LC) cell was measured using a 6-pass tandem Fabry-Perot interferometer. By adopting a special right-angle scattering geometry, the sound velocity of 5CB was estimated from the Brillouin shift without knowing the refractive index. The sound velocity of the longitudinal wave propagating along the direction of the directors aligned parallel to the glass plates of the LC cell was 1784${\pm}$7 m/s at 300 K. The attenuation coefficient $\alpha$ was estimated to be approximately $1.9{\times}10^6m^{-1}$, which is about twice as large as that of the longitudinal sound wave propagating along the direction perpendicular to the directors. The present method may be very useful in the evaluation of the elastic properties of the materials used in display devices, whose refractive indices are not known.

In a Fabry-Perot cavity configuration, a CLC fiber optic rmrror has been used to achieve longitudinal mode suppression as well as to obtain passively mode~locked laser operations with 630 fs laser pulses via nonlinear polarization evoluhon.oluhon.

광섬유 패브리페로 간섭계의 위상변조를 이용한 센서의 경우 위상변조 특성상 정밀도는 보장받지만 전달함수의 강한 주기성으로 인해 동작범위가 제약을 받아 실 사용시 어려움을 겪고 있다. 고정밀도와 넓은 동작범위를 동시에 만족시킬 수 없기 때문에 대부분 실사용 상태 때 패브리페로의 고유한 고정도 특성을 포기하는 경우가 많다. 본 논문은 센서의 다중화 개념을 도입하여 기존의 패브리페로 공진기와는 별도로 반사체 하나로 구성된 간단한 보조센서를 추가로 사용하여 주센서신호의 주기성을 극복하면서 패브리페로의 우수한 해상도를 유지하기 위한 모델을 제시하고 수치해석을 통한 타당성 검증과 신호처리방법에 대해 기술하였다.

광도파로는 변조기, 스위치, 필터, 센서, 파장변환기 등 많은 분야에 응용이 되고 있다. 이러한 광도파로의 손실측정방법에는 프리즘 커플러를 이용하는 방법, fabry-perot 구조의 물질이 갖는 pyroelectric effect를 이용한 방법, 도파로의 입출력 단에 fiber를 커플링하여 측정하는 방법 등을 들 수 있다. 그러나, 프리즘 커플러를 이용한 방법은 미세패턴의 도파로 측정이 어렵고, pyroelectric effect를 이용하는 방법은 특정한 방향으로 도파되는 광의 측정이 불가능하며, 마지막으로 fiber 커플링 방법은 항상 같은 조건하에서의 손실 측정이 어려운 단점이 있다.

A new all-optical flip-flop (AOFF) method based on the absorption nulls of an injection-locked Fabry-Perot laser diode (FP-LD) in transverse magnetic (TM) mode is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. For the set and reset operations of the AOFF, injection locking and the destructive minus of beating in transverse electric (TE) mode are used. The absorption nulls on the TM mode are modulated according to the operations, and then non-inverted (Q) and inverted (${\bar{Q}}$) outputs can be obtained simultaneously. Thanks to the use of several absorption nulls, the proposed AOFF can achieve multiple outputs with extinction ratios of more than 15 dB. Even though the experiment is demonstrated at 100 Mbit/s, the results of previous experiments using the injection of a CW holding beam imply that the operation speed can increase to 10 Gbit/s.

Using the embedded optical fiber sensor of totally-reflected extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer(TR-EFPI), longitudinal strains(Ex) of the core and skin layers in glass fiber reinforced plastic(GFRP) cross-ply composite laminates have been measured. Transmission optical microscopy was employed to study the damage formation around the TR-EFPI sensor. It was observed that values of ex in the interior of the skin layer and the core layer measured by embedded TR-EFPI sensor was significantly higher than that of the specimen surface measured by strain gauges. The experimental results agreed well with those from finite element analysis on the basis of uniform stress model. Large strains in the core layer led to the occurrence of transverse cracks which drastically reduced the strain at failure of optical fiber sensor embedded in the core layer.
