비선형 라만 산란현상을 이용하여 광섬유 라만 레이저를 실현함으로써 0.8-1.8μrm 파장 영역에서 200ps의 펄스 폭을 갖는 광 펄스를 생성시켰다. 이 광섬유 라만 레이저는 모드 고정과 Q-스위치가 동시에 된 Nd-YAG 레이저를 펌프로 사용한다. 본 실험과정에서 관찰된 2파동의 합 주파수 생성(two-wave sun frequency generation) 현상도 보고한다. 구현된 광섬유 라만 레이저를 이용하여 단일 모드 광섬유의 장파장 영역 색분산 특성을 측정하였으며, 측정된 광섬유의 재료분산 특성을 산정하였다.

This paper is to develop an optical ruer displacement sensor for monitoring high speed spindle. Proper magnitude of optical power as well as amplification of output signal are necessary to improve sensitivity of the sensor. In this paper, to meet the need of improvement of the sensor resolution, we choose proper optical power and amplification level through speculating on optical power of a laser diode.

코히런트 광섬유 센서의 해상도를 향상시키기 위하여 광원의 코히런스 길이를 향상시키는 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 넓은 파장범위에 걸쳐서 레이저 광을 생성할 수 있고 발광 파장대역이 장거리 전송이 가능한 통신용 광섬유의 저 손실 대역인 광섬유 레이저의 코히런스 길이를 향상시키기 위하여 레이저의 광궤환 기법을 이용하였다. 본 논문에서는 광섬유 레이저의 단거리 및 장거리 광궤환 루프가 코히런스 길이에 미치는 영향을 Mach-Zehnder Interferometer를 이용하여 연구하였다. 광궤환 전력량과 광궤환 루프에서의 변조형태가 코히런스에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 주파수 천이도는 200m 길이차를 갖는 비대칭 간섭계에서의 위상간섭 정도를 측정하여 계산하였다. 광섬유 레이저에서 단거리 광궤환 루프는 450kHz/sec로 주파수 천이도를 축소시키는데 효과가 있었고 장거리 광궤환 루프는 50kHz/sec로 주파수 천이도를 더 향상시키는 효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 실제 코히런트 광센서에 응용 시 고감도 침입자 감지가 기대된다.

We report on comparative results obtained from harmonically mode-locked laser operations of ring-type and figure-of-eight(F8) type erbium-doped fiber lasers by using a directional-coupler type electro-optic modulator as an active mode-locker. The mode-locked and transform-limited pulses of 10.6 ps width were obtained at harmonics of the fundamental cavity frequency with the F8 type laser while mode-locked laser pulses greater than 15 ps were achieved with the ring type laser.

In this paper, we controlled the edge angle of fiber by using $CO_2$ laser. In order to control the angle, tilting angle of fiber on stage and the number of scan repetition are adjusted, and laser power is fixed at 30 W in the experiment. In the polishing result, the edge angle of fiber can be changed from $4^{\circ}$ to $8^{\circ}$, as changing the tilting angle and the number of scan repetition. This $CO_2$ laser polishing can fabricate ball lenses with various curvatures and a sharp probe as well as the edge angled fiber.

A new laser welding system far the appendage of bearing pads of PHWR nuclear fuel elements has been developed. This system consists of laser oscillator, a optical fiber transmission, a monitoring device and a welding controller. The basic welding experiments of the appendage of Zircaloy-4 bearing pads were carried out. The laser welded samples were investigated and made by using the optical fiber of GI $400\mu\textrm{m}$. As a result, the seam welding with the bead width of 1.0mm and the weld penetration of 0.3mm could be accomplished.

A 9.6 dB gain is observed at 1310 nm in a 5.0 cm bismuth-doped silica fiber. A launched pump power of 100 mW was obtained using an 810-nm laser diode. We demonstrated the simultaneous optical amplification at two wavelengths near second telecommunication windows, which is the range of zero-dispersion for silica fibers.

Using the polarization dependence of laser output powers, we measured the characteristics of the birefringence, such as the magnitude of phase retardation, the ellipticity, and the off axis angle to the fiber optical axis, inside the ring type fiber laser cavity.

We present both theoretically and experimentally the thermo-optic characteristics of micro-structured optical fiber (MOF) filled with mixed liquid. The performance of MOF depends on the efficient interaction between the fundamental mode of the transmitted light wave and the tunable thermo-optic materials in the cladding. The numerical simulation indicates that the confinement loss of MOF presents higher temperature dependence with higher air-filling ratios $d/{\Lambda}$, longer incident wavelength and fewer air holes in the cladding. For the 4cm liquid-filled grapefruit MOF, we demonstrate from experiments that different proportions of solutions lead to tunable temperature sensitive ranges. The insertion loss and the extinction ratio are 3~4 dB and approximate 20 dB, respectively. The proposed liquid-filling MOF will be developed as thermo-optic sensor, attenuator or optical switch with the advantages of simple structure, compact configuration and easy fabrication.

This study proposes an optics-based active sensing system for continuous monitoring of underground pipelines in nuclear power plants (NPPs). The proposed system generates and measures guided waves using a single laser source and optical cables. First, a tunable laser is used as a common power source for guided wave generation and sensing. This source laser beam is transmitted through an optical fiber, and the fiber is split into two. One of them is used to actuate macro fiber composite (MFC) transducers for guided wave generation, and the other optical fiber is used with fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors to measure guided wave responses. The MFC transducers placed along a circumferential direction of a pipe at one end generate longitudinal and flexural modes, and the corresponding responses are measured using FBG sensors instrumented in the same configuration at the other end. The generated guided waves interact with a defect, and this interaction causes changes in response signals. Then, a damage-sensitive feature is extracted from the response signals using the axi-symmetry nature of the measured pitch-catch signals. The feasibility of the proposed system has been examined through a laboratory experiment.
