Optical fiber gratings have been intensively studied for applications in optical fiber communications and sensor systems due to their all-fiber configuration, low insertion loss, low cost, and high flexibility. Especially, cladding mode coupling fiber devices such as long period gratings (LPG) and acousto-optic tunable filters (AOTF) have been developed as a gain equalization filter in erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) for wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems$^{(1-2)}$ .

We propose a simple hydrogen detection scheme based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer formed with a pair of palladium-coated long-period fiber gratings (LPGs). Since an LPG pair offered a fine-structured interference fringe in its transmission spectrum, the resolution as a sensor could be appreciably enhanced compared to that of a single LPG. As the palladium layer absorbed hydrogen, the effective refractive indices of the cladding modes were increased so that the interference spectrum was blue-shifted up to 2.3 nm with a wavelength sensitivity of -0.29 nm/min for 4% of hydrogen concentration.

일반 광섬유에 아크 방전을 인가하여 코어 및 클래딩의 직경 변화를 발생시켜 장주기 격자를 제작하는 방법이 소개되었다. 본 연구에서는 매우 약한 아크를 반복적으로 발생시켜 광섬유에 매우 약한 변형을 수 차례 주어 광섬유 격자 직경을 정밀하게 조절 할 수있는 방법을 사용한 중첩 장주기 광섬유 격자 제조 방법을 제안하였다. 또한 위상정합 조건을 이용하여 장주기 광섬유 격자의 직경 변화에 따른 공진 파장의 변화를 이론적으로 유도하였으며, 실험을 통해 확인하였다. 또한 실험 결과 아크 유도 광섬유 격자의 주기와 공진 파장과의 관계가 위상 정합 조건과 일치하는 것을 확인하였으며, 온도 변화에 따른 공진 파장의 변화를 측정하고 기계적 강도를 측정하였다.

The transmission characteristics of multi-channel long period fiber gratings (LPFGs) in terms of the physical parameters like the separation distance, grating length and number of gratings will be discussed. Their transmission characteristics such as channel spacing, number of channels, loss peak depth, and channel bandwidth can be easily controlled by physical parameters. Based on the experimental results, their applications to optical multiwavelength Raman lasers and optical sensors will be investigated. A multiwavelength Raman fiber ring laser with 9 WDM channels with 100 ㎓ spacing and 19 channels with 50 ㎓ spacing using tunable multi-channel LPFGs will be experimentally demonstrated. The fiber-optic sensing applications with high resolution and sensitivity based on multi-channel LPFGs will be also presented.

We propose and demonstrate a novel optical pulse multiplier applicable to OTDM (Optical Time Division Multiplexing) systems using cascaded long-period fiber gratings. We have exploited the fact that each mode in a fiber has a different propagation constant to obtain time delays among optical pulses. The proposed scheme could realize high-frequency optical pulse multiplication for optical short pulse trains. We have successfully implemented two, four, and eight times multiplications with the maximum repetition rate of 416.7 ㎓. The obtained pulse delays are well matched with the simulated ones.

본 연구에서는 이득 평탄화된 어븀첨가 광섬유 증폭기를 제작하였다. 이득 평탄화 필터는 주기적으로 배열된 금속선을 이용하여 유도되는 장주기 광섬유 격자로 구현하였다. 980 nm 펌핑 레이저에 의해 증폭된 자발방출 출력 스펙트럼의 C-밴드 파장 영역에서 이득 리플을 제작된 필터를 적용하여 1 dB 이내로 억제하였다. 다중 채널을 동시에 증폭시킬 수 있는 성능은 페브리 페롯 레이저 다이오드를 이용하여 측정하였고 C-밴드에서 20 dB 이상 증폭시킬 수 있음을 보여주었다. 이 증폭기는 파장분할 다중화 방식의 장거리 광 전송에서 다중 채널을 동시에 증폭하는 효과적인 방법을 제공할 것이다.

We present a simple design rule for a passive temperature-compensating optical package. We also present experimentally that a package fabricated by using the design rule compensates the temperature dependence of the resonant wavelength of an optical long period fiber grating by varying the strain inside the fiber, The package fabricated in this work consists of two pieced of brass tube, 10 mm long, and a piece of nylon rod, 45.4 mm long. It is shown that the package can compensate the temperature-induce wavelength shifts of the long period grating to a range of 6.8 pm/$^{\circ}C$, compared with 0..48 nm/$^{\circ}C$ for an uncompensated grating. The reduced strength of the fiber caused by exposure to ultraviolet limits the performance of the package to the range operating temperature form -3 $^{\circ}C$ to 7$0^{\circ}C$.

Long Period Gratings (LPG) is currently receiving considerable attention because of their consistent measuring results fur pressure, temperature, strain and flow. LPG is easier to prepare and has a high sensitivity compared with Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG). In addition, this kind of optical fiber sensors could be used for implementations in various structures. In this paper, LPG was used to monitor in situ the resin flow and the curing process in VARTM (Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer. Molding). In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method, FBG is inserted into the glass mat to monitor the resin flow using optical spectrum analyzer (OSA). The curing reactions in VARTM are also observed using the same method. From the results, the attenuation wavelength shift and the loss change of attenuation band can be obtained from the status of the RTM (Resin Transfer Molding) sample owing to the internal variations of the .effective index, temperature, and pressure. It is shown that the proposed LPG is more effective in monitoring the curing reaction than FBG.

본 논문에서는 광섬유에 주기적인 압력을 인가함으로써 유도되는 굴절률 변화를 통해 장주기 광섬유격자를 설계하여 제작해 보았으며, 제작된 장주기 광섬유격자의 압력에 따른 투과특성과 파장가변 특성 및 편광의존성에 대해서 이론적 고찰 및 실험적 분석을 하였다. 제작된 장주기 광섬유격자의 투과량은 압력에 따라 주기적으로 변하며. 결합되는 모드의 중심파장을 180nm이상 가변할 수 있었다. 또한 모드결합의 중심파장이 9nm정도의 편광의존성을 갖는것을 확인하였다.
