Majority fibre optic sensing devices for toxic substances in environmental
- Institute of Energy and Automatic Academy of Science, Tashkent (Russian Federation)
The possibility has been shown of the use of the remote fluorescent sensing of organic and anorganic substances with fibre optic devices. The peculiarities of construction of fibre-optic sensors were proposed. Majority processing of excitation and radiation signals was proposed to increase analysis reproducibility and accuracy. Selection an average luminescence intensity signal is made by majority voter on the basis of a fibre-optic repeater (FOR) on M outputs and fibreoptic mixer (FOM) on M inputs. FOR serves for transmission of excitation signals from a larger generator to M sensitive layers of luminescence simultaneously. FOM translates luminescent radiation of each laser of the sensor to photodetector. The report gives the peculiarities and characteristics of the developed luminescent fibre optic sensor with triplicate majority redancy and results for detection of toxic elements (Cr, Be, Cd and etc) in water at the ppb level.
