Modelling and Optimization of Complex Fiber Diffractive Structures
Helán, Radek ; Lazar,, Josef (referee) ; Tománek, Pavel (referee) ; Urban, František (advisor)
The thesis discusses the fiber Bragg gratings simulations, analysis and design. In the present time, there are several methods to simulate fiber gratings response based on the stated parameters that define their dimensions and material features. However, this work deals with a different issue, that is the synthesis of the input parameters for demanded spectral responses. The main aim of the work is to achieve a synthesis method that would help to discover parameters describing advanced grating structure, based on the required spectral reflectivity. The basic demand for the parameter synthesis is an achievement of the real values in terms of the consequent production of the suggested structure. The described synthesis method considers advanced fiber grating structure as a structure of several uniform grating sections. The input parameters are estimated in steps, using the well-known direct methods in order to obtain grating responses and feedback to establish the parameters changes. The principle methods involve establishment of initial input parameter values and necessary subsequent algorithm leading to optimize the required spectral response. The initial values are calculated by a simplified model based on the coupled theory equations that are handled for the periodic disturbances in cylindrical waveguide. The following optimization uses the multiple thin film stack and transfer matrix methods. The properties of grating structure spectral reflectivity are step by step calculated while using these direct methods. Input parameters are established in the next several steps. Establishment of input parameters is done subsequently, based on the demanded and calculated output spectral reflectivity properties. Optimizing process is limited by possibilities of the grating manufacture technology. It is possible to assemble arbitrary fiber grating structure taking in term the demanded spectral response. Nevertheless, the calculated input parameters are real for the following manufacture. This method could be used to design optical band stop filter, high-pass and low-pass filters or filters for special applications.

Polarization sensitivity of the fibre optics grating sensors
Babieska, Lukáš ; Šifta, Radim (referee) ; Urban, František (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the effect of full-length fixation of optical fiber gratings on their polarization dependence. In addition, the effect of primary protection and parameters of optical fiber gratings on their intrinsic polarization dependence was also investigated. The theoretical part of the thesis briefly describes the historical development of optical fiber gratings, the types of optical fiber gratings used and also describes in detail the principles of polarization dependence of optical fiber gratings and the mechanisms of polarization dependence of optical fiber gratings. In the practical part of the thesis, suitable measurement methods for measuring the polarization dependence of optical fiber gratings are proposed. Furthermore, these methods are optimized and used for subsequent measurements of the effect of fixation on the polarization dependence of optical fiber gratings. Many different methods of fixation of the optical fiber gratings were then used to measure the effect of fixation, and the degree of polarization dependence of the optical fiber gratings was evaluated for each of the different fixation methods. The practical part of the thesis is concluded with a detailed summary of the results obtained.

Fiber Optics Distributed Systems
Čučka, Milan ; Róka,, Rastislav (referee) ; Vlček, Čestmír (referee) ; Smékal, Zdeněk (advisor)
The dissertation is focused on the research of optical fiber sensors, which are based mainly on interferometric methods. The principle of operation of individual types of sensors is analyzed in the framework of simulation models, using several simulation tools. Furthermore, the possibilities of the coexistence of the sensor system within the planned or existing transmission networks are described. The possibility of accurate vibration measurement, localization of the vibration source and possibly temperature measurement is discussed. The measurements are mainly based on interferometric methods.

High-speed interrogation of sensors with Bragg grating
Lahoda, Vladimír ; Řeřucha,, Šimon (referee) ; Barcík, Peter (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with high-speed evaluation of Bragg diffraction gratings for sensory purposes. The aim of the project is to design the hardware and software of the electronic unit, which will amplify the analog signal from the photodetectors and distribute all data using a network interface. A programmable gate array is used for data collection and accumulation, which provides control and communication between a single-board computer and an analog-to-digital converter. In addition to the evaluation itself, other functions are included, such as excitation and stabilization of the optical power of the laser diode, or temperature stabilization of critical components. The proposed concept is experimentally verified on mounted printed circuit boards.

Graphical user interface for sensing systems
Dejdar, Petr ; Vojtěch, Josef (referee) ; Münster, Petr (advisor)
Master thesis is focused on creating graphical user interface for the sensorical system based on Phase-OTDR. Theoretical part describes optical fibers, explains the principle of Bragg gratings, their production and their use in sensors. Methods of optical fiber attenuation and phase OTDR measurement are also described. Other part is focused on LabVIEW programming software and utilization of sensorical system and its components. Practical part deals with the user interface itself, which consists of two tabs. The first tab is designed for evaluation and display of measured data. The second tab is used to control and set up system components. Both of these tabs are further subdivided into other subtabs. Regarding the conclusion, further development of the program and options of hardware replacement for improving this sensorical system in the future will be discussed.

Effect of Light Polarization on Optical Fibre Links
Obručník, Ondřej ; Křivánek, Vítězslav (referee) ; Kyselák, Martin (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with the emergence of polarization mode dispersion, its mathematical expression and also the influence, which polarization mode dispersion has on the optical communication channel. First, the chapters birefringence in fibers and polarization debate its emergence and basic characteristics, then are introduced two possibilities of mathematical expression polarization mode dispersion namely in Stokes and Jones space, whence is more closely examine Jones space. End work adverts about dependencies wavelength and birefringence on differential group delay, also about using fibre Bragg gratings in optical fibres and fall of characteristics grating on differential group delay.
