A new method to control the free spectral range of a long period fiber grating is proposed and theoretically analyzed. As the refractive index decreases radially outward in the silica cladding due to graded doping of fluorine, waveguide dispersion in the cladding modes was modified to result in the effective indices change and subsequently the phase matching conditions for coupling with the core mode in a long period fiber grating. Enlargement of the free spectral range in a long period fiber grating was theoretically confirmed.

기계적으로 유도되는 장주기 광섬유 격자 배열 소자를 제작하고 격자 배열소자의 광 투과 특성을 측정하였다. 격자 배열 소자는 표면에 $690{\mu}m$부터 $780{\mu}m$ 주기까지 $10{\mu}m$씩 주기가 증가되는 격자들이 만들어져 있는 45 cm 길이의 금속 막대와 고무덮개로 구성되어 있다. 외부 압력이 격자 배열 소자에 인가되면 압력이 인가된 지점에만 장주기 광섬유 격자가 형성되고 장주기 광섬유 격자의 공진 파장은 인가된 지점에 의존한다. 그리고 제작된 장주기 광섬유 격자 배열 소자의 특성측정 결과가 다양한 투과 특성을 갖는 광섬유 대역 제거 필터, 혹은 압력센서로 사용 가능함을 보여주고 있다.

가우스 광분포를 가지는 KrF 엑시머 레이저와 위상마스크를 이용해 3dB 파장 선폭이 0.7 nm인 단주기 광섬유 격자(Fiber Bragg Grating)가 제작되었고, 이 격자의 파장에 따른 삽입 손실이 단일파장 광원과 cutback방식을 이용해 측정되었다. 이 격자의 온도 의존성을 확인하기 위해 -10 $^{\circ}C$ ~ 70 $^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 중심 파장의 변화를 측정하였는데 0.01 nm/$^{\circ}C$을 얻었으며 이 값은 온도 변화 방향과 무관하였다. 진폭마스크를 이용해 3 dB 선폭이 14.22 nm인 장주기 격자도 제작되었으며 이 경우는 같은 온도 범위에서 0.044 nm/$^{\circ}C$로 단주기 격자에 비해 온도 의존성이 4배 이상 컸다. 장주기 격자는 광섬유 코팅의 존재 여부도 온도 변화에 큰 영향을 미쳤다.

Based on Faraday effect, the variation of current flowing through the conductor can be encoded as that of azimuth angle of light polarization propagating through the fiber coil wound onto the conductor. The amount of current can be obtained by measuring the variation of the light intensity transformed from that of the azimuth angle through a polarization analyzer. In this paper we propose a fiber-optic current sensor system that employs a fiber polarization analyzer as a sensor interrogation device. The fiber polarization analyzer was prepared by inscribing a long-period fiber grating on a high birefringent fiber. At the fixed wavelength of 1522.5 nm, the fabricated fiber device has the polarization extinction ratio of more than 25 dB. The measurement of large current up to 600 Arms was accomplished based on a simple fiber interrogation device and the measurement output of the sensor system showed a good linearity.

In this paper we propose a wavelength-switchable fiber ring laser that employs a polarization-dependent fiber band stop filter. The fiber filter was fabricated by inscribing a long-period fiber grating on a high birefringent fiber. Dual-wavelength switching operation was accomplished by controlling the rotatable linear polarizer which rotated the polarization plane of the light circulating through the fiber laser cavity. The amplitude variation of both laser lines was measured to be less than 0.5 dB and the signal-to-amplified spontaneous emission ratio was more than 55 dB.

본 논문에서는 장주기 광섬유격자쌍을 이용하여 광섬유 Mach-Zehnder 간섭계(MZI)를 기계적인 방법으로 구현해 보았다. 제작한 간섭계의 장주기 광섬유격자쌍의 투과스펙트럼과 fringe spacing의 이론치과 실험치를 비교, 분석해 보았다. 그 결과, fringe spacing의 값은 이론치와 실험치가 비교적 잘 일치하는 것을 알았다.

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$0^{\circ}C$.

We propose a new pH-sensing scheme using a methylene blue adsorption on an optical fiber cladding surface. Interactions between the silica and hydroxyl ions of a base solution induce the surface of the silica negatively charged. The charged surface attracts the positively charged chromophores of methylene blue. As the pH of the solution is reduced, the electrostatic attraction will also be reduced. This electrostatic attraction can change the transmitted light intensity of the cladding mode, since the boundary condition changes. We also carried out a simulation to verify the effect from external refractive index change around a long-period fiber grating. Our results confirm that the wavelength shift by external refractive index change is negligible compared to the transmitted light intensity variation of the cladding mode. By using a long-period grating pair, we can detect the cladding mode transmittance variations. Experimentally, we showed the possibility of pH sensing in the $1.5{\mu}m$ infrared region.

We have developed novel optical-fiber sensors based on strain-induced long-period fiber gratings for monitoring the deformation of a hull. They have no external pressure for sustaining the mechanical formed gratings. The pressure, which provides a force to form the periodic grating along the single mode fiber, was realized by the bonding strength of a photopolymer. To reduce the polarization dependency of the sensors caused by the asymmetry structure of gratings, a Faraday Rotator Mirror (FRM) was utilized in this experiment. We have realized the polarization-insensitive function of the proposed sensors. The change of an external strain are measured by an optical spectrum analyzer. When the external stain increases. the attenuation at the resonant wavelength decreases and the loss peak was slightly shifted to the shorter wavelength.
