Light losses in optical fibers are investigated by a fiber optic OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometry) sensor system to develop fiber optic probes for structural displacement measurement. The displacement sensitivity was determined by the measurements of fiber-bending loss according to the gage length changes of the displacement sensor. The fiber optic displacement probe was manufactured to verify the feasibility of the structural displacement measurement.

Five expensive sensors are necessary to control a magnetic bearing system. The sensor price rate of magnetic bearing system is high. So it is necessary that cheap and good sensor is developed. The optical fiber displacement sensor is adaptive to satisfy this condition. We can design magnetically suspended spindle based on static characteristic of optical fiber displacement sensor developed. The controller can be designed by decoupled feedback PD. Therefore, it is simpler than any other controller comparatively.

To make high speed spindle system work properly, sensors with outstanding resolution and dynamic characteristics are essential. An optical fiber displacement sensor is based on simple principles. Electrical signal responds to the optical flux change due to the displacement change between a target and a sensor probe. In this paper, the performance of optical fiber displacement sensor has been investigated according to properties of optical fiber Firstly, optical loss has been measured before and after polishing optical fiber endface. Secondly, allowance of optical fiber bending has been tested. thirdly sensitivity and linear range of the sensor has been found out according to the shape of cross section of optical fiber.

The intensity modulated type (reflective method) optical fiber sensor is a well -known method and widely applied to the displacement measurements and other industrial purposes. This type sensor has the advantages of relatively cheap cost, small sensor size and easiness of operation. The sensitivity of the sensor is very dependent of several error terms; the variation in the intensity of the light source and the changes in the surface reflectivity of the object. An optical fiber coupled displacement probe with a new compensation method is presented in this paper. The proposed displacement sensor can measure the displacements of the target surface independent of surface reflectivity error that is caused by the materials and surface processing grade.

This paper proposes a new temperature-compensative displacement sensor with a pair of fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) attached to the inner and outer surfaces of an elastic metal band. The sensor can be also used as a temperature sensor with high sensitivity. The FBG pair shifted Bragg wavelengths in the same direction according to changes in the temperature. However, because the pressure of the metal band shifted a pair of Bragg wavelengths in the opposite direction, the displacement sensor could compensate for the effect of the temperature change in the proposed FBG pair. Results of the experiments showed that the two FBG displacement sensors responded linearly and symmetrically with respect to the displacement, and the displacement could be obtained using the difference between the two Bragg wavelengths.

This paper is described a development of an optical fiber displacement sensor. The optical fiber sensor using an intensity modulated measures the displacement between target and sensor. A prototype sensor is composed of a transmitting part, a receiving part and a signal processing circuit. The experiment was conducted not only the sensor performance but also factors that affect intensity. The main performance of this sensor is resolution of 0.37um and the non-linearity $0.7\%$ FS and the dynamic bandwidth of about 6.3kHz. As a result of rotation test, the prototype sensor showed an equivalent performance to a commercial eddy current sensor.

In this paper, the theoretical method of measuring the tunnel convergence and underground displacement, the objective indices of assessing safety for tunnel construction, using the fiber optic sensor is studied by developing the program to automatically measure them. The model test of Con'c beam is conducted to evaluate reliability of the fiber optic sensor. Furthermore, using the RS232 communication protocol as well as Visual C# and Visual C++, the programming tools, the program was developed to detect automatically the measured value of the fiber optic sensor, calculate the tunnel convergence and underground displacement, predict the deformed shape of the tunnel, and evaluate loosening zone due to the tunnel excavation.

본 논문은 광강도 변조방식 광섬유 변위센서의 측정 메커니즘을 수식적으로 모델링하여 측정영역과 감도를 원하는 목적에 따라 유연하게 조정할 수 있는 설계모델을 제안하고 있다. 유도된 모델은 스텝 인덱스 광섬유를 적용한 경우로 제한되고 광섬유 센서의 변위 응답영역 중 front slope 측정영역 해석에 초점을 맞추었다. 또한 광섬유 설계 시 유도된 모델 적용이 용이하도록 수치적분 방식의 해석 프로세스를 소개하고 있다. 제안된 모델과 프로세스는 기본 설계변수 별로 실험결과를 통해 비교검증 되었다. 끝으로 검증된 모델을 통해 기본 설계변수에 따른 광섬유 변위센서의 변위응답 특성 경향을 분석하였다.

A multiplexed bend loss type single-mode fiber-optic sensor system was prepared to measure the displacement of several cm of the civil engineering structures such as many bridges, tunnels and various buildings. This bend loss type fiber-optic sensor used the signal difference between two reflection signals due to various bend losses generating at a pair of optical connectors by using OTDR (optical time domain reflectometer) for measuring displacements. And the experiments were conducted for showing the measurement feasibility on the range of 10 cm, and the multiplexing experiments were also performed to measure the displacements of 5 measuring positions of an object by setting these 5 fiber-optic sensors on a single mode fiber simultaneously.

교량과 각종 건물을 비롯한 대형 토목 구조물에서 발생하는 수 mm의 변위를 한 개의 광섬유로 간편하게 측정하기 위하여 광커넥터에서 반사가 굽힘 손실에 의하여 변하는 현상을 이용한 새로운 다중화된 광섬유 변위센서를 제안하고 실험하였다. 한 쌍의 광커넥터 양끝에서 반사광의 신호차이가 두 광커넥터 사이에서 발생한 굽힘 변위에 의해서 달라지는 것을 Optical Time Domain Reflectometer로 측정하여 선형으로 그 변화가 측정되는 변위센서를 만들고, 이 센서 4개를 직렬형으로 배열하여 여러 지점의 변위를 동사에 측정이 가능한 다중화 센서 시스템을 구성하고 실험하였다. 그 결과 이 변위센서를 이용하면 4개 지점에서 각각 최대 6 mm까지의 변위를 6%의 오차범위 내에서 0.9942의 선형성을 가지고 변위를 측정할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
