Title: Terahertz Wave Generation and Beam Steering by Photonics Technology
Abstract: Photomixing of two lightwaves at a photomixer is one of the promising methods for terahertz wave generation. Furthermore, by arraying the photomixers, THz-wave power can be combined and steered. We developed several kinds of arrayed photomixers as well as photonic phase management systems. We demonstrate THz-wave power combination and beam steering at 300 GHz with arrayed photomixing and photonic phase tuning. In addition, we show experimental results of some advanced terahertz wave wireless transmission systems by utilizing the terahertz wave beam.
Bio: Kazutoshi Kato received the B.S and M.S. degrees in physics and the Ph.D. degree from Waseda Universityin 1985, 1987, and 1993, respectively. Since 1987, he has been with NTT Opto-Electronics Laboratories, where he had been engaged in research on receiver OEIC’s, high-speed p-i-n PD’s for wide-band transmissions. From 1994 to 1995, he was on leave from NTT at France Telecom CNET Bagneux Laboratory, France, as a Visiting Researcher working on high-sped PD’s. From 2000 to 2003, he was with NTT Electronics Corporation, where he was involved in developing photonic network systems. From 2004 to 2011, he was a Research Manager at the NTT Photonics Laboratories, where he is in charge of developing semiconductor devices and subsystems for photonic network systems. From 2012 he has been a professor at Kyushu University. His current research topics are terahertz-wave technologies for a wireless transmission, and tunable lightwave technologies for a photonics network.

Title: Synchronous multipoint vibration mode analysis for suspension bridge using FBG accelerometer sensor array
Abstract: Vibration modes and natural frequencies of overhead bridges hold important characteristics information about the
structural health condition of the bridges. Vibration mode and dynamic frequency analyses are the reliable and
widely adopted non-destructive assessment techniques for the detection of damage or any form of degradation in
bridge structures. Various measurement technologies have been proposed for this application for instance, the
wireless MEMS system. However, this technology has technical challenges such as the time synchronization,
intermittent connectivity of the sensing modules and multi-path errors. On the other hand, fibre-optic sensors such
as fibre Bragg grating (FBG) accelerometers turn out to be a better solution in terms of immunity to
electromagnetic interference, low attenuation loss, large area coverage and synchronous multi-point measurement
capability. In this work, we will present the results of dynamic frequency analysis for a ~110m long steel cable
suspension bridge located in Bukit Gasing Forest Reserve – Taman Rimba Bukit Kerinchi, Lembah Pantai, Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia. Seven FBG based accelerometers have been used for measuring the vibration responses of the
bridge based on single-pulse excitation. Taking advantage of the synchronous data from all seven sensors, the
mode shapes of the lowest three natural frequencies can be easily identified. The time-varying responses of the
mode shapes can be constructed from the data. This information is important and useful for the structural analysis
and integrity assessment of the bridges.
