A novel geometry for enhancing the sensitivity of intensity modulated refractometric fiber optic sensor for detection of adulteration level in diesel by kerosene is proposed. In this multimode plastic optical fiber is uncladded for specific length and bent into S shape. This geometry is simulated and analyzed using Beam Propagation Method in Beam prop RSOFT software. When sensor is immersed in ...

The use of a LED fiber-optic sensor to measure displacement and linear thermal expansion is described. It has a sensitivity of about 0.6 mV/mm, a resolution of 1.25 mm, and a dynamic rang of 400 mm for displacement measurements. For thermal expansion, it shows a sensitivity of about 3.5 mV/C, and the experimental linear expansion values are in agreement with those calculated. The reported senso...

development of a suitable method for color sorting of agricultural products such as: tomato, apple and orange, based on surface reflection and image formation was the goal of this research. a suitable scheme of color differentiation using an optic head and electrical processing circuitry for separating red from green and other colors is presented. a photo-conductive transducer, electrical resis...

Acoustic emission technology has been applied to many fields for many years. However, the conventional piezoelectric acoustic emission sensors cannot be used in extreme environments, such as those with heavy electromagnetic interference, high pressure, or strong corrosion. In this paper, a novel fiber-optic ring acoustic emission sensor is proposed. The sensor exhibits high sensitivity, anti-el...

Abstract Over the last two decades, the fibre optic technology has passed through many analytical stages. Some commercially available fibre optic sensors are being used for automation in mechanical and industrial environments. They are also used for instrumentation and controls. In the present work, a fibre optic displacement sensor is presented. This type of sensor is an intrinsic sensor. In t...

Compare with traditional way of numerical simulation by establishing the mathematical model through geometry optic, we design a TracePro model to analyze the sensing process of reflective intensitymodulated fiber optic sensor base on ray tracing. This type of sensor has advantages over other fiber optic sensor, including simple structure, flexible design, reliable perform, low cost etc. In this...

Two different fiber optic sensors were developed for the determination of hydrogen sulfide at ppb concentration levels; a probe-type fiber optic sensor coated with polyethylene oxide containing 0.5 M CdCl(2) and a fiber optic sensor utilizing 0.5 M CdCl(2)-pretreated filter paper as solid substrate. In the first type, CdCl(2)-polyethyleneoxide (PEO) mixture was coated onto the tip of a fiber op...
