We report a new configuration of a reflection-type confocal scanning optical microscope system for measuring the refractive index profile of an optical waveguide. Several improvements on the earlier design are proposed; a light emitting diode (LED) at 650 nm wavelength instead of a laser diode (LD) or He-Ne laser is used as a light source for better index precision, and a simple longitudinal linear scanning and curve fitting techniques are adapted instead of a servo control for maintaining an optical confocal arrangement. We have obtained spatial resolution of 700 nm and an index precision of $2\times10^{-4}$. To verify the system's capability, the refractive index profiles of a conventional multimode fiber and a home-made four-mode fiber were examined with our proposed measurement method.

최근 광통신 시스템에서는 파장분할다중화(WDM) 방식의 도입으로 인해, 한 개의 레이저 신호를 입사시켜 여러 개의 레이저 신호를 발생시켜 광원으로 사용하는 연구가 활발히 진행되어 왔다. Park et al.[1]은 Erbium Doped Fiber Laser(EDFL)에서 1.1nm 파장간격으로 24라인을 얻었고, Yamashita et al.[2]은 내부 에탈론 구조를 가진 EDFL에서 0.8nm 간격으로 17라인, D.Yu et al.[3]은 반사형 거울과 Circulator를 사용한 Brillouin/Erbium Fiber Laser(BEFL)에서 0.08nm 간격으로 30라인, G.J.Cowle et al.[4]은 Injection-Seed Locking을 이용한 BEFL.에서 0.09nm 간격으로 12라인 그리고 N.S.Kim et al.[5]은 내부 되먹임을 이용한 BEFL에서 0.09nm 간격으로 4라인을 각각 발생시켰다. 여기서 중요한 요소로는 발생된 레이저 신호의 안정성, 각 신호들 간의 파장간격, 레이저 신호의 수 그리고 Peak Intensity 간의 차이 등이 있는데 각 연구방식에 따라 다양한 결과를 보여준다. 본 실험에서는 향상된 되먹임 구조를 가진 BEFL에서 다파장 발생에 관한 연구를 하였다.

Based on the multimode fiber taper, a mode size converter for effective optical beam coupling between laser and optical fiber or between the two different optical fibers has been proposed and demonstrated. The device has a multimode input end and a single mode output end. The influence of various parameters, including device structure and launching conditions, on the coupling efficiency has been theoretically analyzed. The theoretical results revealed that the gaussian beam can be coupled into a single mode fiber without considerable insertion loss. The proposed multimode fiber taper has been fabricated using heating and pulling equipment incorporating two micro-torches. Experimental results showed that an optical beam with $50\;{\mu}m$ of large beam size was effectively coupled into single mode fiber through the multimode fiber taper. The insertion loss of the device was 1.3 dB.

We report a passive Q-switching of an all-fiber erbium-doped fiber laser delivering high pulse energy by using a high quality single-walled carbon nanotube saturable absorber (SWCNT-SA). A side-polished fiber coated with the SWCNT is employed as an in-line SA for evanescent wave interaction between the incident light and the SWCNT. This lateral interaction scheme enables a stable Q-switched fiber laser that generates high pulse energy. The central wavelength of the Q-switched pulse laser was measured as 1560 nm. A repetition rate frequency of the Q-switched laser is controlled from 78 kHz to 190 kHz by adjusting the applied pump power from 124 mW to 790 mW. The variation of pulse energy from 51 nJ to 270 nJ is also observed as increasing the pump power. The pulse energy of 270 nJ achieved at maximum pump power is 3 times larger than those reported in Q-switched all-fiber lasers using a SWCNT-SA. The tunable behaviors in pulse duration, pulse repetition rate, and pulse energy as a function of pump power are reported, and are well matched with theoretical expectation.

In this study, as a part of the basic study for the application of optical fiber sensors to smart composite structures, the integrity of optical fiber sensors embedded within the composite structures was examined and then the laser signal transmitted through optical fiber sensors during the deformation of host structures was investigated. Firstly, it was found that bending test could be substituted for tensile test by comparing cumulative failure distribution based on weakest link theory and introducing the correction factor. Weibull parameters were obtained through the experiments and the correction factor was found to be applied to cumulative failure distribution derived from bending test. The integrity of embedded optical fiber sensors due to the thermal effect was evaluated by the comparison of the mean tensile strengths of cured and uncured optical fibers. Secondly, relationships between stress-strain curve obtained in tensile test of composite laminate and the intensity of laser signal transmitted through embedded optical fibers were examined and the possibility of the effective damage detection using optical fiber sensors was studied.
