A fiber optic sensor for measuring glucose in aqueous solutions
In this paper, the set-up of a multi-mode fiber optic sensor for measuring glucose in aqueous solutions is investigated and evaluated. The basis of this sensor is based on the Fresnel Reflection. In this setup, a helium-neon laser is used as a light source, a fiber optic probe, photocell as detector and a digital multimeter. The statistical analysis of the recorded data shows a highly linear be...
متن کاملArtificial Neural Network Applications in Geotechnical Engineering
Over the last few years or so, the use of artificial neural networks (ANNs) has increased in many areas of engineering. In particular, ANNs have been applied to many geotechnical engineering problems and have demonstrated some degree of success. A review of the literature reveals that ANNs have been used successfully in pile capacity prediction, modelling soil behaviour, site characterisation, ...
متن کاملFiber Optic Sensor Applications in Transportation Infrastructure Protection
There are a broad range of infrastructure sensing applications in transportation that are not being met. Many of these vital assets are aging or not adequately monitored with the potential for catastrophic failure. As examples, the bridge failure in Minneapolis, Minnesota was due to a structural failure. Fire safety problems, with recent life-loss fires, in road tunnels are challenging due to s...
متن کاملEngineering metal oxide nanostructures for the fiber optic sensor platform.
This paper presents an effective integration scheme of nanostructured SnO2 with the fiber optic platform for chemical sensing applications based on evanescent optical interactions. By using a triblock copolymer as a structure directing agent as the means of nano-structuring, the refractive index of SnO2 is reduced from >2.0 to 1.46, in accordance with effective medium theory for optimal on-fibe...
متن کاملRaman-assisted distributed Brillouin sensor in optical fiber for strain and temperature monitoring in civil engineering applications
Investigation of a method to extend-range distributed temperature and strain sensor based on detection of the Brillouin frequency shift combined with counter-propagating Raman amplification has been realized. 50-km-range of standard single-mode silica fiber with great results has been sensed. Results of an experimental investigation of Brillouin frequency shift at different fibers.
