Simple fiber-optic-based sensors for process monitoring: an application in wine quality control monitoring 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The goal of this research was to develop a simple and economical fiber-optic sensor technology for agrifood process monitoring. Toward this end, two fiber-optic sensors were developed to be used in combination: a single reflection V-bend sensor and a single fiber air-gap probe. The former is designed to be sensitive toward refractive index and the latter towards absorption. Experiments indicate that the micromachined V-bend fiber refractometer is most sensitive when the bend angle is centered around 140 degrees, at which angle the sensor may resolve changes in refractive index as small as 0.00015. Additionally, the V-bend sensor was found to be non-responsive toward sample absorption even in extremely absorbing solutions. The air-gap design absorption sensor, most commonly used for measurements in highly colored media, was found to be slightly sensitive towards refractive index. When the two sensors are used together, the response of the absorption sensor may be corrected for. This sensor combination is able to provide accurate measurements in situations where Beer's law is not obeyed. Results are presented that show that the sensor pair was successfully used to monitor wine sugar content (Brix), and color density and hue, parameters related to the age of the wine. 相似文献

Nondestructive evaluation of microfailure mechanisms in two-diameter SiC fibers/epoxy composites is investigated using a directly embedded fiber-optic sensor attached with an acoustic emission piezoelectric (AE-PZT) sensor. Interfacial shear strength by fragmentation test, and optical failure observation inside microcomposite can contribute to analyze two sensors quantitatively. Although fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor exhibits sudden wavelength shift due to plastic deformation by larger diameter SiC fiber breakage, AE-PZT monitors much more precise microfailure process, such as the fiber break or matrix cracking. Since the FBG sensor can measure the strain at only a single point, whether it can detect a fiber break in single-fiber composite specimen depends on its proximity to the failure location. In addition, micro-strain measurement at one single point may not provide enough information on the whole microfailure process including multiple fiber breakage and matrix crack. It can be considered that FBG sensor can be somewhat effective in measuring the continuous micro-strain change due to the internal disturbance such as resin curing, whereas AE-PZT sensor can be effective in detecting the microfailure by elastic wave propagation through the composite materials. 相似文献

One of the major problems in sensor fusion is that sensors frequently provide spurious observations which are difficult to predict and model. The spurious measurements from sensors must be identified and eliminated since their incorporation in the fusion pool might lead to inaccurate estimation. This paper presents a unified sensor fusion strategy based on a modified Bayesian approach that can automatically identify the inconsistency in sensor measurements so that the spurious measurements can be eliminated from the data fusion process. The proposed method adds a term to the commonly used Bayesian formulation. This term is an estimate of the probability that the data is not spurious, based upon the measured data and the unknown value of the true state. In fusing two measurements, it has the effect of increasing the variance of the posterior distribution when measurement from one of the sensors is inconsistent with respect to the other. The increase or decrease in variance can be estimated using the information theoretic measure "entropy." The proposed strategy was verified with the help of extensive computations performed on simulated data from three sensors. A comparison was made between two different fusion schemes: centralized fusion in which data obtained from all sensors were fused simultaneously, and a decentralized or sequential Bayesian scheme that proved useful for identifying and eliminating spurious data from the fusion process. The simulations verified that the proposed strategy was able to identify spurious sensor measurements and eliminate them from the fusion process, thus leading to a better overall estimate of the true state. The proposed strategy was also validated with the help of experiments performed using stereo vision cameras, one infrared proximity sensor, and one laser proximity sensor. The information from these three sensing sources was fused to obtain an occupancy profile of the robotic workspace 相似文献

A general theory for fiber-optic, evanescent-wave spectroscopy and sensors is presented for straight, uncladded, step-index, multimode fibers. A three-dimensional model is formulated within the framework of geometric optics. The model includes various launching conditions, input and output end-face Fresnel transmission losses, multiple Fresnel reflections, bulk absorption, and evanescent-wave absorption. An evanescent-wave sensor response is analyzed as a function of externally controlled parameters such as coupling angle, f number, fiber length, and diameter. Conclusions are drawn for several experimental apparatuses. 相似文献

Fingerprint input based on scattered-light detection 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The principles of fingerprint imaging are based on scattered-light detection, and the technique is proposed for a compact input device. Light enters a glass plate from its edge and propagates inside the plate by repeating the total internal reflection at the boundaries with air. The ridges of a finger pressed onto the plate scatter the light, which then leaks out of the plate. This scattered light is imaged by an array of gradient-index optical fibers and an image sensor. A prototype sensor has been developed: The distance between the finger and the image sensor is 13 mm. The images obtained with this prototype clearly show not only the ridges and valleys but also the pores in the ridges. 相似文献

Fiber Bragg grating flow sensors powered by in-fiber light 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This paper presents an active fiber Bragg grating temperature and flow sensor based on self-heated optical hot wire anemometry. The grating sensors are directly powered by optical energy carried by optical fibers. In-fiber diode laser light at 910 nm was leaked out from the fiber and absorbed by the surrounding metallic coating to raise the temperature and change the background refractive index distribution of the gratings. When the diode laser is turned off, the grating is used as a temperature sensor. When the diode laser is turned on, the resonance wavelength and spectral width change of the self-heated grating sensor is used to measure the gas flow velocity. The grating flow sensors have been experimentally evaluated for different grating length and input laser power. The grating flow sensors have demonstrated a 0.35- m/s sensitivity for nitrogen flow at atmosphere pressure. 相似文献

Newly developed small-diameter fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors were applied for the detection of the delamination in carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) cross-ply laminates. Since the diameter of the FBG sensor was very small, the sensor was easily embedded into the 0° ply along the reinforcing carbon fibers. The reflection spectra from the FBG sensor were measured at various delamination lengths through four-point bending test. The form of the spectrum changed sensitively, as the delamination length increased. Moreover, the spectrum was calculated theoretically for confirmation of the measured spectrum. The calculated result reproduced the change in the measured spectrum very well. Then, we proposed the intensity ratio in the spectrum as an effective indicator for the prediction of the delamination length. This indicator has a potential to be applied to other laminate configurations. 相似文献

Application of a fiber-optic NIR-EFA sensor system for in situ monitoring of aromatic hydrocarbons in contaminated groundwater 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Interaction of analyte molecules with the evanescent wave of light guided in optical fibers is among the most promising novel sensing schemes that can be applied for environmental monitoring and on-line process analysis. By combining this measuring principle with the solid-phase extraction of analyte molecules into the polymer cladding of a fiber, it is possible to perform direct absorption measurements in the cladding, if the fiber is adapted to a conventional spectrometer/photometer. A big advantage of this arrangement is that the measurement is scarcely disturbed by matrix effects (background absorption of water in IR measurements, stray light due to turbidity in the sample). By using near-infrared (NIR) evanescent field absorption (EFA) measurements in quartz glass fibers coated with a hydrophobic silicone membrane it is possible to design and construct sensors for monitoring apolar hydrocarbons (HCs) in aqueous matrices.The paper presents a fiber-optic sensor system for the determination of aromatic HCs in groundwater or industrial wastewater. Generally, this instrument is suitable for quantitative in situ monitoring of pollutants such as aromatic solvents, fuels, mineral oils or chlorinated HCs with relatively low water saturation solubility (typically between 0.01 and 10 g l(-1)). The sensor probe is connected via all-silica fibers to a filter photometer developed at the IFIA, thus, allowing even remote analysis in a monitoring well. This portable instrument provides a total concentration signal of the organic compounds extracted into the fiber cladding by measuring the integral absorption at the 1st C--H overtone bands in the NIR spectral range.In situ measurements with the sensor system were performed in a groundwater circulation well at the VEGAS research facility of the University of Stuttgart (Germany). The NIR-EFA sensor system was tested within the frame of an experiment that was carried through in a tank containing sandy gravel with a groundwater-saturated aquifer, where soil and groundwater were contaminated with technical grade xylene. The goal of this experiment was to model and optimize the groundwater circulation well used for the remediation of the aquifer and soil surrounding the well. The sensor proved to trace reliably the total hydrocarbon concentration in the process water pumped from the well to a stripper column. Measurements were performed continuously over 4 months with C8 HC sum concentrations in the process water between 80 mg l(-1) down to the limit of detection, which is around 200 microg l(-1). It could be demonstrated that the fiber-optic sensor system is a valuable tool for near-real-time control of a remedial action technique and verification and documentation of its success. 相似文献

Two new types of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors that can determine the concentration of ammonium cations and urea were realized based on the previously reported theory of the absorption-based SPR measurement method. The change of the dielectric constant caused by the change of the light absorption characteristics of dyes incorporated in a sensing membrane phase is utilized in these SPR sensors. The determination of ions using the SPR sensor was realized by detecting the SPR signals of the minimum reflectance related to the change of absorption spectra of the dye in the ion optode membrane consisting of an ammonium-selective ionophore (TD19C6) and a lipophilic cationic dye (KD-M11) that shows absorption spectral changes due to protonation and deprotonation. A SPR enzyme sensor that can determine the concentration of urea was prepared by the combination of this ion optode membrane and an enzyme membrane based on urease. With the newly developed SPR sensors, the intensity changes of the reflectance at the fixed SPR resonance angle are monitored, which is different from conventional SPR sensors where usually the change of the SPR resonance angles is detected. In a continuous-flow experiment using the SPR ion sensor for NH4+ ion determination, a dynamic measurement range from 10(-5) to 10(-2) M was achieved. In the case of the enzyme-based SPR urea sensor, a dynamic range from 10(-4) to 10(-1) M was observed in a stopped-flow batch arrangement. It is expected that this sensing technique can be applied for the SPR-based detection of a wide range of low molecular weight analytes. 相似文献

To make a gas sensor suitable for use at high temperatures, we have used a sol-gel-processing technique to bond a copper-exchanged zeolite fluorescence indicator onto the end of an all-silica optical fiber. Experimental results from single-fiber prototype sensors show they can be used to measure either the oxygen concentration or the equivalence ratio for gas mixtures containing weak or strong reductants, respectively. 相似文献

Cavities have been laser ablated in the ends of single-mode optical fibers and sealed by aluminized polycarbonate diaphragms to produce Fabry-Perot pressure sensors. Both conventional fibers and novel, multicore fibers were used, demonstrating the possibility of producing compact arrays of sensors and multiple sensors on an individual fiber 125 microm in diameter. This high spatial resolution can be combined with high temporal resolution by simultaneously interrogating the sensors by using separate laser sources at three wavelengths. Shock tube tests showed a sensor response time of 3 micros to a step increase in pressure. 相似文献

Glass capillaries with a chemically sensitive coating on the inner surface are used as optical sensors for medical diagnostics. A capillary simultaneously serves as a sample compartment, a sensor element, and an inhomogeneous optical waveguide. Various detection schemes based on absorption, fluorescence intensity, or fluorescence lifetime are described. In absorption-based capillary waveguide optrodes the absorption in the sensor layer is analyte dependent; hence light transmission along the inhomogeneous waveguiding structure formed by the capillary wall and the sensing layer is a function of the analyte concentration. Similarly, in fluorescence-based capillary optrodes the fluorescence intensity or the fluorescence lifetime of an indicator dye fixed in the sensing layer is analyte dependent; thus the specific property of fluorescent light excited in the sensing layer and thereafter guided along the inhomogeneous waveguiding structure is a function of the analyte concentration. Both schemes are experimentally demonstrated, one with carbon dioxide as the analyte and the other one with oxygen. The device combines optical sensors with the standard glass capillaries usually applied to gather blood drops from fingertips, to yield a versatile diagnostic instrument, integrating the sample compartment, the optical sensor, and the light-collecting optics into a single piece. This ensures enhanced sensor performance as well as improved handling compared with other sensors. 相似文献

In this work a new superstructured, in-fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based, contact force sensor is presented that is based on birefringent D-shape optical fiber. The sensor superstructure comprises a polyimide sheath, a stress-concentrating feature, and an alignment feature that repeatably orients the sensor with respect to contact forces. A combination of plane elasticity and strain-optic models is used to predict sensor performance in terms of sensitivity to contact force and axial strain. Model predictions are validated through experimental calibration and indicate contact force, axial strain, and temperature sensitivities of 169.6 pm/(N/mm), 0.01 pm/με, and -1.12 pm/°C in terms of spectral separation. The sensor addresses challenges associated with contact force sensors that are based on FBGs in birefringent fiber, FBGs in conventional optical fiber, and tilted FBGs. Relative to other birefringent fiber sensors, the sensor has contact force sensitivity comparable to the highest sensitivity of commercially available birefringent fibers and, unlike other birefringent fiber sensors, is self-aligning with respect to contact forces. Unlike sensors based on Bragg gratings in conventional fiber and tilted Bragg gratings, the sensor has minimal cosensitivity to both axial strain and changes in temperature. 相似文献

A new type of demodulation system for low-coherence interferometric sensors based on highly birefringent fibers is presented. The optical path delay introduced by the sensor is compensated in four detection channels by quartz crystalline plates of appropriate thickness. The system can be used to decode a single-point sensor with a resolution of 2.5 x 10(-3) or two serially multiplexed sensors with decreased resolution. In a multiplexed configuration each sensor is served by two detection channels. By tilting the quartz plates, we can tune the initial phase shift between interference signals in successive channels to differ by pi/8 or pi/4, respectively, for a single-point or a multiplexed configuration. We transferred the sinusoidal intensity changes into digital pulses by appropriate electronic processing, which eventually allows for an unambiguous phase-shift measurement with a resolution of 1/8 or 1/4 of an interference fringe. The system performance for the measurement of hydrostatic pressure changes and simultaneous changes of hydrostatic pressure and temperature is demonstrated. The pressure sensors are based on side-hole fiber to ensure high sensitivity and an operation range of 2.4 MPa. A new configuration for temperature compensation of hydrostatic pressure sensors is proposed, which is better suited for dynamic pressure measurements. In this configuration the sensing and compensating fibers are located in the same compartment of the sensor housing. 相似文献

This work examines the relative importance of diffusion and the electrical time constant of the working electrode on the response time of amperometric gas sensors. The response curve of an electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor to a 200 ppm CO test gas was measured as a function of the added resistance that is in series with the working electrode to increase the time constant. It has been found that the response time increases with additional resistance. The experimental behavior was compared to the values predicted on the basis of Fick's second law of diffusion and to the values expected on the basis of the electrical properties of the sensor. The behavior of the sensor was explained using an equivalent electrical circuit, describing the time constants of the working electrode. Values obtained from this model were further compared to experimental values obtained from electrochemical impedance spectra. It has been found that the response time of the sensors depends on both the rate of diffusion and the electrical time constants of the working electrode. 相似文献

This paper summarizes the experimental investigations for smart embedded sensing in rotorcraft composite components. The overall objective of this effort was to develop smart embedded sensor technologies for condition based maintenance (CBM) for composite components in army rotorcraft. This paper presents the results of experimental investigations related to development and maturation of different types of embedded sensing solutions for structural health monitoring of composite components including Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors, phased and discrete piezoelectric sensor arrays. A discussion is provided relative to embedment of optical fibers into composites, and the results from embedded FBG sensors in a rotorcraft flexbeam subcomponent test specimen with seeded delamination subjected to dynamic loading. Likewise, results are analyzed of surface mounted phased array and embedded smart piezoelectric sensors in the flexbeam subcomponent test specimen with embedded delamination, subjected to fatigue cyclic loading. The paper also summarizes the lessons learned from efforts to nucleate and propagate delamination within composite components under dynamic cyclic loading. 相似文献
