  • In this paper, the possibility of interferometric shows very good linearity to the strain. Fiber optic sensors have various merits for health monitoring systems. They are very small in diamerter. So, they don't give any disturbance in strength to the structures, Optical fiber sensors are innert to the electro-magnetic field. Therefore, fiber optic sensors give us a good solution to the electro-magnetic field. Therefore, fiber optic sensors give us a good solution to the maintainance systems of the structures, which are exposed to the electric fields, such as bridges, dams and buildings.

  • Dependence of magnetic and magneto-optic properties on composition of amorphous NdFe alloys has been studied to identify a promising magneto-optic recording material in the wavelength of a blue laser beam. From the view point of crystallographic state, perpendicular magnetic anisotropy energy and polar Kerr rotation angle, the Nd-rich region was found to be suitable for the research purpose.

  • A fiber-optic pressure sensor is fabricated with a photoelastic glass material. To remove the influence of external pertubation along the optical fiber, a new referencing technique is proposed by using two light sources. LED with 870nm wavelength is used as light source for reference signal, and LED with 660nm wavelength is used as light source for modulation signal. The fiber-optic pressure sensor system shows good linearity within the pressure range of 0 to 5 $kg/cm^2$.

  • In this study, a fiber optic air-backed mandrel hydrophone has been constructed and performance of acoustic signal detection has been measured. The hydrophone is based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with 35 m of sensing fiber. The sensitivity is measured up to -128 dB re rad/$\mu$ Pa in range from 1.4 kHz to5 kHz. A system with this design of hydrophone may be applied to detect low frequency underwater acoustic signals.

  • In this paper, we investigated the characteristics of 4${\times}$4 thermo-optic switch using two mode interference(TMI) coupler. We designed this matrix switch by using a configuration which combines a double Mach- Zehnder interferometer(MZI) switching unit. The average extinction ratio and average excess loss of the 4${\times}$4 thermo-optic switch was 33.7dB, 0.29dB, respectively.

  • In this paper, we analyze the errors associated with electric field interference for fiber-optic voltage sensors working in a three-phase electric system. For many practical conductor arrangements, the electric filed interference may cause errors unacceptable for the accuracy requirements of the sensors. We devised a real time compensation method for the interference by introducing geometric and weight factors. We realized the method using simple electronic circuits and obtained the real time compensated outputs with errors of 1 %.

  • In this paper, we describe the electro-optic effects of photonic crystals made of a synthetic opal filled with a nematic liquid crystal(LC). By applying an external electric field, a shift in the Bragg reflection peak position(stop band) and a field-induced change in its peak reflectivity are observed. These significant surface alignment effects of the opal-LC composite are discussed in a similar manner for Freederick-type transitions of LC within a confined geometry in the presence of external fields.

  • We propose a systematic method for design of fiber-optic surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors. We used rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA) for analysis of the transmission spectrum, and the (1+1) evolution strategy (ES) was employed as an optimization tool. The simulation results show that the optimization method presented here is very useful in designing fiber-optic SPR sensor for strain and temperature measurement. This algorithm can be extended to another objective function with other weighting factors and optical parameters.
