There is provided a device and method for forming optical fiber anti-symmetric long period gratings by microbending. In the optical fiber grating forming device, a laser system emits a CO2 laser beam, a lens focuses the CO2 laser beam on an optical fiber in a predetermined width, an optical fiber support fixes both ends of the optical fiber and imparts tensile strain to the optical fiber, and a controller controls the intensity of the CO2 laser beam, the focusing distance of the lens, and the tensile force applied by the optical fiber support.

An erbium-doped optical fiber (EDF) and a fabricating method thereof The erbium-doped optical fiber has a core formed by substantially doping silica with erbium and having gratings formed therein at a predetermined period, for propagating light therethrough, and a cladding surrounding the core and having a lower refractive index than the core. Since the erbium-doped optical fiber acts as a gain flattening filter, an erbium-doped fiber amplifier formed out of the erbium-doped optical fiber obviates the need of splicing an erbium-doped optical fiber with a gain flattening filter.

Provided is an optical sensor interrogation system. The optical sensor interrogation system includes: a light source unit which matches round-trip time of light and wavelength tunable cycle time of light in a resonator and emits light; a sensing unit which receives an optical signal in which a center wavelength periodically tunes, from the light source unit and tunes the center wavelength of the optical signal according to physical changes applied from the outside; and a signal processing unit which receives the optical signal reflected from the sensing unit, detects data, and images the data. In particular, the light source unit includes a delaying unit which delays the round-trip time of light and a tunable filter which tunes the wavelength of light so as to match the round-trip time of light with the wavelength tunable cycle time of light. Accordingly, a Fourier domain mode locking (FDML) wavelength swept laser, which operates at speed of several tens kHz or above, is used as a light source so that strain of a fluid, which changes in a short time interval of 0.1 msec or below, is precisely measured and thus a real-time analysis may be performed at high speed.
