In this study, a technique for monitoring of fatigue damage of composite laminates by measuring the stiffness change using embedded intensity-based optical fiber sensors was investigated. Firstly, the underlying measurement principle and structure of intensity-based sensors and then a simple stiffness conversion process was explained. The monitoring technique was evaluated by fatigue tests of composite laminates with an embedded intensity-based sensor. From the test results, the response of the intensity-based sensor showed good correlation with that of surface mounted extensometer. Therefore, it can be concluded that the intensity-based sensors have good potential for the monitoring of fatigue damage of composite structures under fatigue loading. In addition, it could be confirmed that the intensity-based sensors have higher resistance to fatigue than the commercial electrical strain gauge.

Intensity-based optical fiber sensors are devised using a blocker which is located between two polymer optical fibers(POFs), one fiber is light-in and the other is light-out. This blocker is moved by an external displacement. Therefore, finding a general formulation of the relation between this displacement and transmission light intensity of various blockers is important to help develop intensity-based optical fiber sensors. In this paper, we consider blockers with arbitrary shapes from circular holes to inclined angled blockers. The transmission light intensities of such blockers should be determined by this generalized equation. In order to verify this equation, the calculated intensities of the blockers are compared with the values acquired from experiment. In the comparison, it is shown that the analytic equation can give the exact values of the transmitted light intensities for the assorted blockers. The range of the displacement measurement is also shown to be about 6 times of the radius of the hole in the case of a 9 degree inclined angle blocker.

광섬유센서를 이용한 복합적층판의 피로손상 감지 및 진동측정, 그리고 스틸 보에 대한 충격위치 검출에 관한 연구가 수행되었다. 피로과정중의 신호는 복합재료 내에 삽입된 광섬유와 표면에 부착한 광강도형 광섬유센서, 그리고 스트레인게이지로부터 동시에 측정되었다. 진동감지 실험은 복합재료 보의 표면에 광섬유센서를 부착하여 자유진동 및 강제진동 신호를 취득하였다. 충격위치 검출에 관한 실험에서 충격위치는 충격에 의해 발생된 구조물의 진동이 두 센서에 도달하는 시간의 차를 이용하여 구할 수 있다. 광강도형 광섬유센서를 이용하여 반복 피로 신호를 잘 취득할 수 있었으며 스트레인게이지에 비하여 피로저항성이 우수함이 확인되었다. 광섬유센서는 갭센서와 동일하게 진동신호를 감지하였고 구조물에 가해진 충격위치를 비교적 정확히 검출할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 복합재료에 삽입된 광섬유센서의 인장하중하에서의 정적 물성치와 피로하중하에서의 동적 물성치를 실험적인 방법과 유한요소해석을 통하여 고찰하였다. 결과에 의하면 삽입된 광섬유센서는 인접한 강화섬유에 수직한 방향으로 삽입된 피로하중의 경우를 제외하고 복합재료의 기계적인 물성치에 큰 영향을 끼치지 않는다고 결론지을 수 있다. 광강도형 광섬유센서를 복합재료 적층판에 삽입하여 복합재 적층판의 강성저하를 측정함으로써 직교적층판 피로손상을 검출하였다. 이 실험의 결과에 의하면 광강도형 광섬유센서는 간단하고 저렴한 장치와 측정된 신호의 복잡한 후처리 과정이 필요 없다는 장점으로 인하여 구조물의 강성저하를 측정하여 피로손상을 감시하는데 있어서 큰 잠재력을 가진다고 할 수 있다. 또한 삽입된 광강도형 광섬유센서는 우수한 내 피로성과 넓은 강성측정 범위를 보였다.

This paper reports a preliminary experimental investigation and characterization of an optical fiber-based submersion sensor system for applications in water flooding and leakage. The sensor system comprises a multi-mode fiber spliced with fiber Bragg grating and an intensity-based interrogator. Submersion tests were conducted in water-air and Glycerin-air environments. By the refractive index of the fiber-probe surrounding materials, the reflectance and the detecting power level is determined. When the probe is dipped into the water, the optical output power dramatically decreases from -7.5dBm to -17.5dBm. But, the center of Bragg wavelength is not affected in spite of external material changes. Temporal response characteristics of the sensor system is investigated to verify the real-time reaction. When the probe is immersed into the liquid, there is no transition time.

In this paper, we present an in line plastic-optical-fiber (POF) temperature sensor based on intensity modulation. The in line POF temperature sensor is composed of a POF, including an in-fiber micro hole filled with reversible thermochromic material, the transmittance of which depends on temperature. The reversible thermochromic material was cobalt chloride/polyvinyl butyral gel. A cobalt chloride solution of concentration 30.8 mM was formulated using 10% water/90% ethanol (v/v) solution, and gelled by dissolving polyvinyl butyral in this solution. Four types of in line POF sensors, with in line micro holes of four different diameters, were fabricated to measure temperature in the range of 25 to 75 ℃. The output optical power of all of these in line POF temperature sensors was inversely proportional to the temperature; the relation between output power and temperature was approximately linear, and the sensitivity was proportional to the diameter of the in-fiber micro hole. The experimental results indicate that an in line POF sensor can be used effectively for measuring moderate temperatures.

Optical fiber sensors have been used to detect small amounts of chemical species. In this work, a new thin polymer-clad fiber sensor is developed. Polyaniline is chemically synthesized and thin clad layers of the polymer are easily deposited on optical fiber by dip-coating technique. The optical property of polyaniline as a sensing material is analyzed by UV-Vis-NIR. The light source is stabilized He-Ne laser at 635 nm wavelength with 1 mW power. The light power transmitted through the optical fiber is measured with a spectrophotometer. By selecting a fixed incident angle, variation of transmitted light intensity through the optical fiber can be detected as gas molecules absorbed in the polyaniline clad layer. Among the various gases, the fabricated optical fiber sensor shows good sensitivity to $NH_{3}$ gas. The optical fiber sensors was shown more improved properties than polymer based sensors which measure conductivity changes.

This paper presents a new type of optical silicon accelerometer using deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) and micro-stereolithography technology. Optical silicon accelerometer is based on a mass suspended by four vertical beams. A vertical shutter at the end of the mass can only moves along the sensing axis in the optical path between two single-mode optical fibers. The shutter modulates intensity of light from a laser diode reaching a photo detector. With the DRIE technique for (100) silicon, it is possible to etch a vertical shutter and beam. This ensures low sensitivity to accelerations that are not along the sensing axis. The microstructure for sensor packaging and optical fiber fixing was fabricated using micro stereolithography technology. Designed sensors are two types and each resonant frequency is about 15 kHz and 5 kHz.

In this paper, the multi-point hydrogen detection system based on the combination of the hetero-core optical fiber SPR hydrogen tip sensor and interrogator by pseudorandom noise (PN) code correlation reflectometry has been developed. In a light intensity-based experiment with an LED operating at 850 nm, it has been presented that a transmitted loss change of 0.32dB was induced with a response time of 25 s for 4% $H_2$ in $N_2$ in the case of the 25-nm Au, 60-nm $Ta_2O_5$, and 5-nm Pd multi-layers film. The proposed sensor characteristic shows excellent reproducibility in terms of loss level and time response for the in- and out- $H_2$ action. In addition, in the experiment for multi-point hydrogen detection, all sensors show the real-time response for 4% hydrogen adding with reproducible working. As a result, the real-time multi-point hydrogen detection could be realized by means of the combination of interrogating system and hetero-core optical fiber SPR hydrogen tip sensors.
