Abstract

The speckle pattern is formed by laser light from a multimode optical fiber. The speckle fluctuation is the result of interference among propagation modes when the optical fiber is subjected to a mechanical perturbation at any point along its length. The experiments were carried on for the study of the feasibility of producing an intrusion detection system using the speckle fluctuation. The speckle fluctuation signals were monitored at real time by an oscilloscope which was connected with a rectifier and a FVC. We used a jig as a PD holder to improve the sensitivity of speckle phenomena and simplify its structure. So we can know the time and magnitude of perturbation.

스페클 패턴은 다중모드 광섬유 내를 전파하는 모드 사이의 간섭현상 때문에 발생하는 검은 무늬로서, 외부 섭동 (perturbation)의 크기에 따라 패턴이 바뀌게 된다. 이 현상을 이용하여 본 연구에서는 스페클 센서를 제작하여 실험을 통해 시설물을 원거리, 실시간 원격 감시가 가능하고 매우 민감한 침입자 센서로 응용 가능함을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 감도를 높이고 구조를 간단하게 하기 위해, 공간필터를 사용하는 대신 광검출기 홀더를 길이 가변이 가능하도록 지그를 제작하여 사용하였으며, 정류기와 FVC를 사용하여 외부 섭동의 지속시간과 크기를 알 수 있었다.
