We fabricated sampled fiber grating by double-exposure method. First, a short-period grating was written into the hydrogen-loaded single mode fiber and then the refractive index was modulated over it by an amplitude mask. It was observed that several transmission dips appear due to the index modulation. The thermal and strain responses were measured over $40-180^{\circ}C$ and $0-1800\mu\varepsilon,$ respectively. The dips have the same and linear sensitivity to both physical quantities over the range of measurement.

We fabricated fiber bragg gratings using interferometric method with Phase mask. The interferometer consisted of two plane-parallel mirrors and a phase mask perpendicular to mirrors. The Gratings were written using an Argon-ion laser. The experimental setup could change Bragg wavelength given by the phase mask. (omitted)

We report on the polarization-insensitive design and fabrication of an arrayed waveguide gratings (AWG's) using sol-gel derived silica glass films formed on fused silica substrates to provide cheap and stable tools for better design. An arrayed-waveguide grating multiplexer with raised structure is fabricated in order to effect polarization sensitivity. Since polarization is usually not known after propagation in an optical fiber. passive WDM components such as monolithic wavelength demultiplexer have to be polarization insensitive. Here, we observed that polarization have effect on crosstalk of output spectrum in arrayed-waveguide grating

The tension effect on fiber Bragg gratings was analyzed and the linearity of 1.24 nm/10kpsi was obtained when Bragg wavelength was varied within 3 nm by applied tension. Using tension control method, different center wavelength fiber Bragg grating(FBG) were fabricated by only single period phase mask. These serially connected four FBGs showed the transmission spectrum of 1.5 nm linewidth as a 3 dB bandwidth which was twice that of a conventional FBG.

In long-period fiber grating (LPFG) to be made up optical fiber sensors, resonance coupling occurs between the forward-propagating core mode and cladding modes at the wavelength that satisfy the Phase matching condition. The resonance wavelength and the coupling strength depends strongly on the external environment like temperature, strain, and ambient index. These characteristics can be utilized for various applications as optical fiber sensors. fabrication of optical fiber gratings is typically based on the photosensitivity effect, i.e. the permanent change of the refractive index upon irradiation of the UV beam, and therefore, fabrication of the optical fiber with high phososensitivity is an important part of the research on optical fiber gratings. In this work, we measured the effort of to-doping of boron on the index difference between the core and cladding of the optical fiber and the sensitivity of the LPFC to the temperature and bending changes. We observed that the index difference between the core and the cladding decreased by $(1.69{\times}10^{-4}/SCCM)$ and the temperature sensitivity of the resonance wavelength shirt decreased by $(0.01145nm/^{\circ}C/SCCM)$. The dependence or the bending-induced changes or the transmission characteristics of LPFG on the tore-cladding index difference was investigated experimentally. The measurement results indicate that the bending sensitivity increases as the index difference decreases.

Application fields on structural health monitoring of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) are gradually expanded even to a primary structure as well as a secondary structure and a specimen. For the reason, verification for the reliability of FBGs such as signal characteristics and mechanical strength becomes much more important. In this study, mechanical strength characteristics of FBGs with their fabrication process and reflectivity are investigated with various grating lengths. From the results of tension tests, it is shown that the mechanical strength of optical fibers decreases about $50\%$ just by jacket stripping and the amount of decrease is dependent on stripping methods. About $55\%$ of mechanical strength of stripped optical fibers decreases if gratings are formed in the core and it is regardless of grating lengths and reflectivity. However, the width of strength distribution increases relative to increases in reflectivity.

In-situ structural health monitoring of filament wound pressure tanks were conducted during water-pressurizing test using embedded fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors. We need to monitor inner strains during working in order to verify the health condition of pressure tanks more accurately because finite element analyses on filament wound pressure tanks usually show large differences between inner and outer strains. Fiber optic sensors, especially FBG sensors can be easily embedded into the composite structures contrary to conventional electric strain gages (ESGs). In addition, many FBG sensors can be multiplexed in single optical fiber using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) techniques. We fabricated a standard testing and evaluation bottle (STEB) with embedded FBG sensors and performed a water-pressurizing test. In order to increase the survivability of embedded FBG sensors, we suggested a revised fabrication process for embedding FBG sensors into a filament wound pressure tank, which includes a new protecting technique of sensor heads, the grating parts. From the experimental results, it was demonstrated that FBG sensors can be successfully adapted to filament wound pressure tanks for their structural health monitoring by embedding.
