Optical probe based on double-clad optical fiber for fluorescence spectroscopy

Ling Wang; Hae Young Choi; Yongmin Jung; Byeong Ha Lee; Kwang-Taek Kim

We report an optical probe based on a single double-clad fiber (DCF), which is suitable for fluorescence spectroscopy. The excitation light is delivered through the small diameter core of the DCF and the excited fluorescence light is collected by the large diameter inner cladding of the same fiber. To retrieve the signal beam from the inner cladding, we utilize a DCF coupler that couples only the light beams in the inner claddings of two different pieces of DCF. It was found that the separation of the channel for the excited beam from the channel for the excitation beam in the same piece of fiber could diminish the autofluorescence background noise generated by the fiber itself, while maintaining all the benefits of a single-fiber probe system. The usefulness of the DCF probe and the performance of the DCF coupler are then reported by presenting the fluorescence spectrum of a fresh gingko leaf and comparing it with the spectrum taken with conventional methods. The fabrication process of the DCF fiber and the inner cladding mode coupler for it are also presented.

Liquid Refractive Index Sensor Based on Cladded Plastic Optical Fiber Taper

Kwang-Taek Kim; Hoe-Man Kim; Jung-Hyun Yun

We have investigated a refractive index sensor based on a cladded plastic optical fiber taper. The optical transmission and sensing characteristics of the device were illuminated in terms of ray optics. The sensor devices showed that the optical transmittance strongly depends on the refractive index of the external medium surrounding the tapered region.

Dong-Young Park; Ki-Sun Choi; Geun-Jin Kim; Se-Jong Baik; Kiegon Im; Kwang-Taek Kim; Young-Tae Yoo

The UV laser trimming is a useful technology for adjusting the effective refractive index of planar waveguide and to achieve accurate specifications of the passive devices. The change in the refractive index of polymer overcladding layer under the irradiation of UV light results in the change of the effective refractive index of waveguides, which can be measured from the shift of transmission spectrum of Bragg gratings fabricated on the silica core beforehand. Saturated effective refractive index change of 7.5 times 10-5 was obtained for a 26 mum thick overcladding irradiated by UV laser of fluence 41 J/cm .

Submersion Sensor Using Bending-Sensitive Fiber

Dong-Ho Lee; Kwang-Hee Kwon; Jae-Won Song; Kwang-Taek Kim

A sensor using bending sensitive fiber (BSF) was studied for real-time long-distance sensing of submersion. The structure of the submersion sensor effectively used the relationship between buoyant force and bending loss of the BSF. A three-dimensional finite-difference beam propagation method (3D FD-BPM) was used to select the bending dimension of the proposed submersion sensor. The operation of the submersion sensor utilizing the BSF was also investigated using 3D FD-BPM. As results of experiments, the submersion sensor fabricated showed a change of optical power from -17 to -1 dB at 1550 nm when the selected sensing region was submerged. In addition, the BSF was easily connected to a single mode fiber (SMF) by fusionsplicing. The BSF exhibited a -1 dB loss when connected to a SMF at both ends.
