국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 논문은 바이메탈(bi-metal)에 부착된 열확장 코어 광섬유의 높은 구부림 손실 효과를 이용한 광섬유 온도 센서를 제안 및 구현하였다. 바이메탈(bi-metal plate)의 온도 변화에 의한 변형은 열확장 코어 광섬유의 구부림 손실을 발생시킨다. 실험결과 소자의 감도와 측정범위는 열확장 코어 광섬유의 구조를 조절하여 제어 될 수 있음을 보였다. 소자의 제조공정이 상세하게 기술되었다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this paper, we have proposed and demonstrated a simple fiber-optic temperature sensor based on the bending loss of a TEC(thermally expended core) fiber attached to a bi-metal. The deformation of the bi-metal caused by the change in its temperature induces the bending loss of the TEC fiber. The experimental result shows that the temperature sensitivity and operation temperature range of the device are controllable through the adjustment of the structure of the expanded core fiber. The fabrication procedure of the device is described in detail.
