Development of Smart Structure for Satellite Using Optical Fiber Sensors

development of different optical methods for determination of glucose using cadmium telluride quantum dots and silver nanoparticles

a simple, rapid and low-cost scanner spectroscopy method for the glucose determination by utilizing glucose oxidase and cdte/tga quantum dots as chromoionophore has been described. the detection was based on the combination of the glucose enzymatic reaction and the quenching effect of h2o2 on the cdte quantum dots (qds) photoluminescence.in this study glucose was determined by utilizing glucose...

Weight Measurements by Using Simple Optical-Fiber Sensors (RESEARCH NOTE)

The use of different optical-fiber sensors for weighing measurements is Abstract described. By using three different mechanical stressing mechanisms, the operation of the fiber-to-fiber transducer systems are tested and the results are presented. Parameters such as sensitivity, hysteresis, resolution, and dynamic range are measured. A comparison of the results has shown that the sensor system m...

Fiber Optic Sensors in Smart Structure Application

Photonic sensors, signal processors and communication technologies have emerged as viable alternatives to electronics. Fiber optic sensors which can readily be integrated with smart materials and structures offer an immense potential in the realization of intelligent systems. This paper presents an overview of different types of fiber optic sensors and their application to smart structures.

Calibration of Optical Satellite Sensors

Satellite cameras are calibrated before launch in detail and in general, but it cannot be guaranteed that the geometry is not changing during launch and caused by thermal influences and drying out effects in the orbit. Modern satellite imaging systems are based on CCD-line sensors. Because of the required high sampling rate, the length of used CCD-lines is limited. For reaching a sufficient swa...
