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 intensity-modulated fiber optic sensor base on ray tracing. We use bimetal as sensing element. This type of sensor has advantages over other fiber optic sensor, including simple structure, flexible design, reliable perform, low cost etc. the linearity and repetition of this sensor were verified during the experiment. The result shows that the maximum error rate of the propone temperature sensor is 3.6%, which appears good accuracy and reproducibility. The measurement system is more sensitive to the vibration test environments, if we can solve this problem, the measurement error is expected to be further improved.
Sensor technology is one of the most representative of the emerging technology. At present, the sensor has been widely used in national defence, industry, agricultural production, environmental protection, biological science, measurement, transportation, each field of automatic control and household appliances, etc.. Optical fiber sensing technology is accompanied by the development of optical communication technology gradually formed, compared all kinds of optical fiber sensor and the traditional sensor has a series of unique advantages, such as high sensitivity, anti-electromagnetic interference, corrosion resistance, electrical insulation, explosion-proof, light path with the flexible, convenient for connecting with a computer, the structure is simple, small volume, light weight, low power. In this paper, the intensity modulation type reflective optical fiber displacement sensor, studied the basic principle, in fact, is the displacement measurement in particular, on the assumption that the condition of uniform distribution, the emergent light field is analyzed in detail, the expression intensity modulation function under various conditions were obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
