Abstract

Optical communications are identified as a technology that is able to meet future demands. As a passive component of optical communication, optical power dividers play an essential role. We propose a novel 1x4 optical power divider design, which is a combination of an optical power divider design using a Y-branch and an optical power divider using rectangular waveguides utilizing mode coupling phenomena from our previous researched designs. The 1x4 optical power divider design using three Y-branches and utilizing mode coupling phenomena is described in this work. The design consists of three sections: an input Y-branch, rectangular waveguides, and two output Y-branches. By utilizing mode coupling phenomena with 3 rectangular waveguides, the optical power was transferred from one waveguide to its adjacent, so we obtained a wider splitting angle at the input Y-branch. The design was optimized using the beam propagation method (BPM) at a wavelength for optical communication of λ = 1.55 µm. We optimized various parameters such as the width and thickness of the waveguide, splitting angles, coupling gaps, and coupling lengths by doing numerous experiments. The result shows that the proposed design was successfully split into four outputs with 0.14 dB power imbalance at four output ports and 0.12 dB excess loss through the design. The excess loss and power imbalance at varied wavelengths were also observed. The distribution of excess loss and power imbalance is almost stable through the C-band range (1530-1565 nm). The proposed design shows the possibility of a new wide-angle optical power divider design and demonstrates the development possibilities of optical interconnections at wavelengths of 1530-1565 nm.

Abstract

This paper presents an experimental engineering validation of a tri-axial Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) accelerometer for detecting thruster-induced vibrations in submerged environments. The sensor integrates three orthogonally arranged FBG elements within a compact, waterproof housing, enabling vibration measurements along three spatial directions. Experiments were conducted using a DC thruster as a repeatable vibration source under both free-air and underwater conditions. Comparative results show a marked increase in Bragg wavelength shift (ΔλB) when submerged, with peak-to-peak variations reaching approximately 0.0267 nm on non-primary axes and up to 0.1005 nm on the axis aligned with the excitation, compared to approximately 0.0044 nm in free air. Sensor sensitivity, repeatability, and hysteresis were evaluated through cyclic loading-unloading tests. The maximum hysteresis observed was 0.0053 nm, corresponding to approximately 5% of the full-scale wavelength shift, indicating stable and predominantly elastic behavior.
