Sensors & Detectors News
Fiber Biosensors Help Decode Genes
Mar 1, 1997 — Deciphering the human genome and exploring genetic variation are fueling a biomedical revolution. Diagnosis of inherited disorders and disease at the genetic level relies on the identification and detection of the responsible gene sequences. Optical fiber array biosensors can detect multiple gene sequences in minutes using microliter sample volumes.
French Navy Looks at Optical Sensors to Avoid Electromagnetic Pulses
Mar 1, 1997 — Photonetics SA and the Direction des Constructions Navales are making final tests on a wide range of optical sensors and systems to prove that optical networks are the way to go. Using silicon wafers, glass plates and fiber optics, the French Navy...
Laser Sensors Help Reduce Waste at Wood Fiberboard Plant
Mar 1, 1997 — Eliminating waste is a prime concern for any manufacturing plant, not only from the financial standpoint, but also from the environmental one. At a Swanboard AB wood fiberboard manufacturing plant in Larvik, Norway, the problem was how to...
Micro- and Nanosatellites Could Populate New Earth-Orbit Constellations
Mar 1, 1997 — A team of researchers from The Aerospace Corp., led by I.L. Helvajian, hopes developments in laser machining will allow space agencies and communications companies to produce satellites with diameters under 15 cm, the same way hardware manufacturers...
NASA Detector Could Help Prevent Gas Explosions
Mar 1, 1997 — Researchers at NASA Langley Research Center have developed an optical flameout detection system for monitoring the combustor in the research center's propulsion test air tunnel. The fast-responding (less than 100 ms) detection process monitors light...
On-Line Inspection System Produces 99% Satisfaction
Mar 1, 1997 — The thought of inspecting a million cans of food a day -- almost 700 cans per minute -- is daunting even with the advantages of today's high-speed automation. And when you add to the job a goal of 99 percent overall product quality and production...
Optical Fibers Make Sense of Chemicals
Mar 1, 1997 — Optical fibers have revolutionized a variety of fields: They carry images through endoscopes, voices through phone lines, data and video through cable networks, and, more recently, physical and chemical information through sensors. The fiber's...
Positioning Device Helps Man Understand Earth's Past
Mar 1, 1997 — A network of cliff dwellings cut by prehistoric Amerindians and then abandoned without so much as a how-do-you-do confounded archaeologists at the turn of the century. But one man had an idea: Maybe climatic change had something to do with the...
Go West, Young Job-Seekers
Feb 1, 1997 — SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- A $2 billion gravy train is winding its way from Washington, D.C., to this aptly named California town, and Lockheed Martin Missiles & Space says there's room for 3000 more wagons. When added to as many as 1500 new high-tech...
Integrated Optics: Molding Photonic Components into Solutions
Feb 1, 1997 — Instrumentation and consumer product designers are enamored of photonics technology. Products containing lasers, LEDs and detectors abound on the shelves of electronics stores, appliance centers and even the corner gas station. Photonics makes new...
Laser Detector Stymies Laser Weapons on High-Tech Battlefields
Feb 1, 1997 — Canadian-based The Alwend Group says its government's high angular resolution laser irradiance detector (HARLID) offers modern-day military the best defense against being targeted by laser-directed ordnance. The group is marketing the 1-Band HARLID...
Laser Sensor Monitors Distant Crosswinds
Feb 1, 1997 — ATLANTA -- A laser-based sensor can measure crosswind speeds for applications such as aviation safety and meteorology, Georgia Institute of Technology researchers report.The single-ended, long-path non-Doppler laser wind sensor registers faint wind...
Lidar Protects Against Biological Warfare Agents
Feb 1, 1997 — The recent controversy over the possibility that biological warfare agents may have caused the dire illnesses plaguing the men and women who fought in Operation Desert Storm has surely captured everyone's interest. Detecting and tracking these...
New Fiber Optic Source Speeds Component Testing
Feb 1, 1997 — Lightwave telecommunication systems are meeting today's spiraling demand for increased bandwidth by adding multiple wavelength channels to each fiber. Wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) systems deliver 10- to 40-Gb performance on a single fiber,...
Photonics Makes Refinery a Good Neighbor
Feb 1, 1997 — RODEO, Calif. -- As part of a "good neighbor" agreement, Unocal Corp. plans to incorporate seven infrared, ultraviolet and laser sensors into what it calls the world's most comprehensive refinery air-monitoring system. The agreement ends two years...
Thin-Film Detector Shows High Response, Sensitivity for Radiation Measurement
Feb 1, 1997 — Using off-the-shelf production facilities and standard production methods, researchers working for the Canadian Defense Research Establishment have built a new radiation detector for use in the medical, nuclear and space fields, or wherever...
Detector & Camera Applications
Jan 1, 1997 — World travelers know that "getting there" is not always glamorous. They have stories of missed flights, jet-lagged meetings and worse. But now they can feel a little safer because of a device about the size of a pager. A relatively new cause of...
Fiber Brings 'Live' Response from Ocean Floor
Jan 1, 1997 — TUCKERTON, N.J. -- In a scene that would make Jules Verne happy, scientists at Rutgers University and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute have established the first permanent fiber optic link that allows live, two-way communication with...
Hughes to Build Redesigned Infrared Missiles for Navy
Jan 1, 1997 — The US Navy has awarded a $169 million contract for its new Sidewinder AIM-9X missiles to Hughes Missile Systems of Tucson, Ariz. Sidewinder missiles use infrared technology to seek out enemy aircraft by locking on to the heat signatures of their...
IR Imaging Arrays Turn to Quantum Wells
Jan 1, 1997 — A new semiconductor-based infrared detector technology for mid- and long-wavelength instruments is ready for the marketplace. The quantum-well infrared photodetector (QWIP) is based on absorption by confined carriers in multiple quantum wells. QWIPs...
Long-Period Gratings: Next Generation of Fiber Sensors
Jan 1, 1997 — Fiber optic sensors, thanks to their size, flexibility and survivability advantages, continue to gain popularity as effective alternatives to conventional transducers. Two types have emerged as leaders in meeting the changing needs of industrial...
Raman Spectroscopy: Ready to Meet New Challenges
Jan 1, 1997 — Once the realm of a few theorists, Raman spectroscopy has surged in popularity during the last decade. Improvements in optics, lasers, detectors and data analysis techniques have turned this laboratory technique into an industrial tool used even in...
