  • Fiber optic sensors can detect glass

    Fiber optic sensors can detect glass

    Fiber-optic sensors use the physical properties of light when transmitting it via fiber-optic cable with glass or plastic fibers to detect objects. The Fiber-Optic Sensors D4RF-TD can be used to detect the presence of containers filled with powdered glass. When powders are being mixed in next processes, airborne powder can adhere to the optical surface of the sensor, decreasing the received light amount and resulting in malfunctions. They can detect very small objects, are particularly flexible to mount and are extremely resistant in harsh environments – even in high temperatures. A fiber optic sensor and two fiber optics made of plastic or glass fibers make up a fiber optic system. The generated light is guided through an optical fiber (transmission path) to the object to be. These are fiber-optic sensors, and their remarkable capabilities begin with something deceptively simple: ultra-pure glass drawn into fibers thinner than a human hair. The glass is not merely a passive conduit for light.

    Principle of Fiber Optic Temperature Sensors

    The principle of operation is based on the temperature dependence of the bandgap of GaAs. The GaAs crystal fixed on the tip of the fibre will be transparent at a wavelength above 850 nm. The position of the band edge is temperature-dependent and is shifted about 0.4 nm/K. The light is directed via the optical fibre to the crystal, where it is absorbed and partially reflected into the fibre. A miniature spectrometer provides a spectrum with the position of the band edge, from which the temperature is calculated.
