In this article the author’s team deals with using Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) for Free Space Optical (FSO) Communications. In FSO communication occurs due to the influence of atmospheric effect (attenuation, and fluctuation of the received power signal, influence turbulence) and the WDM channel suffers from interchannel crosstalk. There is considered only the one direction. The behavior FSO link was tested for one or eight channels. Here we will be dealing with modulation schemes OOK (On-Off keying), QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) and Subcarrier Intensity Modulation (SIM) based on a BPSK (Binary Phase Shift Keying). Simulation software OptiSystem 14 was used for tasting. For simulation some parameters were set according to real FSO link such as the datarate 1.25 Gbps, link range 1.4 km. Simulated FSO link used wavelength of 1550 nm with 0.8 nm spacing. There is obtained the influence of crosstalk and modulation format for the BER, depending on the amount of turbulence in the propagation medium.

Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) belongs to the single-point optical sensors used in many fields and applications where they often replace a standard sensors. They are easy to multiplex and the wavelength division multiplex is the most widely used method. FBGs in sensory branch are designed for a different Bragg wavelength which gives different measure and sensitivity coefficients. Existing algorithm is based on the determination of left and right boundaries of the measuring channel and the central Bragg wavelength. In this paper is presented the new mathematical model for calculation of Bragg wavelength, sensitivity coefficient and channel width of any FBG in the single step. The model takes into account the following input parameters: wavelength of the optical source, source bandwidth, the type of measured quantity, measuring ranges, width of the FBG reflected spectrum and the guard band between adjacent channels. The mathematical model is verified by using a simulation in software OptiSystem.

Fiber-optic sensors are one of the dynamically developing areas of photonics, which is today one of the key technologies. Here include even fiber optic interferometers, allowing very sensitive sensing, they are immune to electromagnetic interference and are entirely passive regarding electric power supply. This type of sensor is dependent on the phase shift, the principle of the function based on interference of light. Fiber optic interferometers are used especially in areas that require high sensitivity and measurement accuracy. The fundamental problem of fiber optic interferometry is a proposal storing and fixing the measuring arm of the interferometer and its influence on the frequency range and sensitivity of the interferometer. The authors focused on this issue and analyzed different types of fixing materials. We used a total of 8 different fixation elements with the different composition. We defined the standardized method of fixation and compared it with a reference measurement without fixation. For the analysis of the frequency characteristic of the prototype was used generator harmonic signal with fixed amplitude signal. Sensitivity verified using the size of the amplitude response. The signal processed by the application written in LabView development environment. The results clearly showed that it is necessary to pay attention to fixation materials in the design of the measuring arm of the interferometer for use in practical applications. In the frequency range, thanks to the fixing material increased the value of bandwidth about value 2430Hz against the reference measurements. The sensitivity of the interferometer has increased threefold. The results verified by retesting assembled prototype.

Authors of this article analyzed the influence of the cover layer in combination with the fixation material to measure deformation with the distributed system Brillouin Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (BOTDR). This system is based on the principle of measuring stimulated Brillouin scattering, which is frequency dependent on the measured temperature and the mechanical stress of the optical fiber. Standard telecommunication optical fiber G.652.D was used for experiments to verify whether this widely used type of fibers initially intended for telecommunication transmissions is suitable for measuring the deformation with the distributed system BOTDR. Knowing the impact of encapsulation type optical fiber is important in the use and implementation in practical applications. The results clearly show that it is important to pay attention to the implementation type of optical fiber. Based on post-analysis, it was determined the most appropriate implementation of optical fiber for optimal sensitivity in practical applications.

White light is produced by a suitable combination of spectral components RGB (colors) or through exposure excitation of blue light (the blue component of light). This blue part of the light is partly and suitably transformed by luminophore so that the resulting emitted spectrum corresponded to the spectral characteristics of white light with a given correlated color temperature (CCT). This paper deals with the measurement of optical properties of a mixture polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and luminophore, which is irradiated by the blue LED (Light-Emitting Diode) to obtain the white color of light. The subject of the investigation is the dependence of CCT on the concentration of the luminophore in a mixture of PDMS and different geometrical parameters of the samples. There are many kinds of PDMS and luminophore. We used PDMS Sylgard 184 and luminophore-labeled U2. More accurately Yttrium Aluminium Oxide: Cerium Y3Al5O12: Ce. From the analyzed data, we determined, which mutual combinations of concentration of the mixture of luminophore and PDMS together with the geometric parameters of the samples of the special optical fibers are suitable for illumination, while we get the desired CCT.

Fiber-optic sensors (FOS), today among the most widespread measuring sensors and during various types of measuring, are irreplaceable. Among the distinctive features include immunity to electromagnetic interference, passivity regarding power supply and high sensitivity. One of the representatives FOS is the interferometric sensors working on the principle of interference of light. Authors of this article focused on the analysis of the detection material as resonant pads for attaching the measuring arm of the interferometer when sensing mechanical vibrations (low frequencies). A typical example is the use of interferometer sensors in automobile traffic while sensing a vibration response from the roadway while passing the cars. For analysis was used sensor with Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Defined were different detection materials about different size and thickness. We analyzed the influence on the sensitivity (amplitude response) of the interferometer. Based on the results we have defined the best material for sensing mechanical vibrations. The signal was processed by applications created in LabView development environment. The results were verified by repeated testing in laboratory conditions.

TThe paper discuss about aging of the passive optical couplers in their burdened high temperature. The article focuses on applied research and experimental development of resources for safety operation of optical networks in environment with higher temperature. It addresses issues of accelerated aging of optical fiber components in their burdened with high temperature. How does temperature influence on optical network elements? It is necessary to specify the changes in the optical coupler and find out why these changes occur. This article is devoted experimental measurement of the impact of temperature loading on the geometrical parameters of optical beam of SM optical FBT couplers. In the paper there are compared couplers of different manufacturers and same dividing ratios of output power 1:8. Optical passive component were continuously exposed to temperature 95°C for long time period. Measurements are focused on the parameters of geometry of optical beam. Graphical and mathematical detect changes in the dissemination of energy coupler after long lasting dose of temperature loading are useful to understand the phenomenon of accelerated aging elements of optical networks in environments with an higher temperature.

The authors of this article focused on the issue of measurement of the chromaticity temperature of proposed bulbs made from polydimethylsiloxane, depending on the temperature of proposed bulbs. The advantage of this solution is the immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and the ability to use, for example in dangerous environments (such as mines, factories, etc.). For the realization of incandescent bulbs was used transparent two-component elastomer Sylgard 184. A mixture of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and a curing agent in a defined ratio (10:1) and admixture with garnet phosphor YAG: Ce was cured in the temperature box at temperature 90°C ± 3°C in the shape of the bulbs. All experiments were realized with eight different weight ratios of phosphor and Sylgard 184. Optical power (5 W) from a laser with a wavelength of 455 nm was fed to the proposed bulbs using the cylindrical waveguide of polydimethylsiloxane with a diameter of 5 mm. Chromaticity temperature was measured by two temperature sensors for 12h. The outcome of this study is the evaluation of the chromaticity temperature of output light depending on temperature variations of proposed bulbs due to the conversion of optical power into heat.

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) can be used for its optical properties and its composition offers the possibility of use in the dangerous environments. Therefore authors of this article focused on more detailed working with this material. The authors describe the use of PDMS polymer for the light transmission over short distances (up to tens of centimeters). PDMS offers good prerequisites (mechanical properties) for the creating cylindrical lighting waveguide e.g. for the purpose of the automotive industry. The objective is to determine the maximum bending radius of the cylindrical waveguide of polydimethylsiloxane for different wavelengths of the visible spectrum and thus extend the knowledge for subsequent use in lighting. The created cylindrical waveguide consist of a core and a cladding. Cladding was formed by a PDMS having a lower refractive index in order to respect the condition of total reflection.
