OPTICAL SENSORS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS.ppt

OPTICAL SENSORS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS PRESENTED BY GAURAV PURI ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING SUNY AT BUFFALO gapuri@ TOPICS INCLUDED IN THIS PRESENTATION INTRODUCTION WHY OPTICAL SENSORS ? PRINCIPLE OF OPTICAL SENSORS CLASSIFICATION AND COMPARISON SOME INTERESTING APPLICATIONS WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE ? INTRODUCTION NEW REVOLUTION OF OPTICAL FIBER SENSORS IT IS A “SPIN-OFF” FROM OTHER OPTICAL TECHNOLOGIES SEEING THE POTENTIAL IN SENSING APPLICATIONS – DEVELOPED AS ITS OWN FIELD WHY OPTICAL SENSORS ELECTROMAGNETIC IMMUNITY ELECTRICAL ISOLATION COMPACT AND LIGHT BOTH POINT AND DISTRIBUTED CONFIGURATION WIDE DYNAMIC RANGE AMENABLE TO MULTIPLEXING SENSING DETAILS EP(t)cos[ωt+θ(t)] INTENSITY BASED SENSORS – EP (t) FREQUENCY VARYING SENSORS - ωP(t) PHASE MODULATING SENSING- θ(t) POLARIZATION MODULATING FIBER SENSING CLASSIFICATION EXTRINSIC SENSORS CLASSIFICATION (contd.) INTRINSIC SENSORS COMPARISON OF THE TWO TYPES SENSOR TYPES CHEMICAL SENSORS REMOTE SPECTROSCOPY GROUNDWATER AND SOIL CONTAMINATION MAJOR PLAYERS IN CHEMICAL SENSORS 1) PHARMACIA BIOTECH (SWEDEN) 2) FIBERCHEM 3) THE QUANTUM GROUP TEMPERATURE SENSORS LARGEST COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE SENSORS RANGE -40 deg C TO 1000 deg C US-SMALL COMPANIES, JAPAN- HITACHI n SUMITOMO STRAIN SENSORS FIBER BRAGG GRATINGS (FBG) TECHNOLOGY SENSES AS LITTLE AS 9 MICROSTRAIN NRL and UNITED TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH BIOMEDICAL SENSORS SPECTROSCOPIC BIOMEDICAL SENSORS CO 2, O 2 and pH CAN BE MEASURED SIMULTANEOUSLY FLOW MONITORING BY LASER DOPPLERIMETRY FIBERS – OPTHALMOLOGIC APPLICATION ELECTRICAL AND MAGNETIC SENSORS APPEALING- INHERENT DIELECTRIC NATURE LESS SENSITIVE TO ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE SMALL SIZE AND SAFER THEY ARE ALMOST ALWAYS HYBRID ABB CORPORATION RESEARCH CENTER ROTATION SENSOR BASED ON THE SAGNAC EFFECT TWO TYPES RING LASER GYROSCOPE (RLG) AND FIBER OPTIC GYROSCOPE (FOG) US COMPANIES PURSUING HIGH PERFORMANCE FOG’s (HONEYWELL, LITTON,
