Abstract:
A hollow-core photonic crystal fiber gas cell and method for preparing the same. The hollow-core photonic crystal fiber gas cell comprises a single-mode fiber, a fiber splicing protection sleeve, a hollow-core photonic crystal fiber, and a photoelectric detector. One end of the single-mode fiber is fusion spliced with one end of the hollow-core photonic crystal fiber to form a fusion splice and seal one end of the hollow-core photonic crystal fiber gas cell. The fiber splicing protection sleeve covers and protects the fusion splice. The other end of the hollow-core photonic crystal fiber is processed into an output end by fusion sealing, and the surface of the output end faces, but is not parallel to, a detection surface of the photoelectric detector.
Abstract:

Abstract:
The method and apparatus as shown in the present invention is to measure the absorption of light by material contained in a liquid. A transmitted signal is sent through a measurement window to a measurement chamber to a target point just inside the measurement window. The reflected signal indicates the amount of light absorbed by a material in the measurement chamber which allows for the amount of materials in a liquid to be determined. Adjustments are made through an optical block and a light control molecule to correct for variations in light intensity.

Abstract:
A detector for oil condition monitoring includes an optical fibre having a first end and a second end having an end face. A sensor body has a gap in which a sample of the oil may be received and a reflecting surface, the second end of the optical fibre being embedded in the sensor body and having an end face spaced from the reflecting surface across the gap. Light emitted from the optical fibre can pass through the sample of oil and be reflected by the reflecting surface back into the optical fibre. By interferometry of the respective signals, the condition of the oil can be determined.
Abstract:
Provided is a spatially resolved diffusive reflectance spectroscopy apparatus that includes an emitter, a plurality of optical waveguides, a switch, a photon detector, and a controller, and a method for operation of the apparatus. The controller controls emitter intensity, identifies photons detected by the photon detector as belonging to a specific optical waveguide of the plurality of optical waveguides, counts the detected photons, and identifies respective optical waveguides receiving each counted photon. The emitter emits optical photons in an optically turbid medium, and a distal end of each optical waveguide of the plurality of optical waveguides receives the optical photons reflected or scattered in the optically turbid medium.
Abstract:
Improvements in and relating to devices for receiving liquid samples A device for receiving a liquid sample may form part of a micro sampling head for an instrument such as a spectrophotometer. The device receives a liquid sample to be analysed by a process involving the passing of electromagnetic radiation through the sample, and comprises a light inlet guide (20) for directing electromagnetic radiation into the sample, a light receiving element (23) situated in an opposed relationship to the guide and spaced from the guide by a fixed distance to define a fixed path length gap (21), which is, in use, filled with the sample. In use, radiation is passed from the light inlet guide to the light receiving element (23), and the path length of radiation through the sample is defined by the gap (23). The device is open or openable to allow a droplet of sample to be deposited directly in the gap.
