SARATOV FALL MEETING 2002: OPTICAL TECHNOLOGIES IN BIOPHYSICS AND MEDICINE IV
Abstract
Spectronephelometric measurement techniques are :in the order of the day. We can apply these techniques to monitor the production of consumable fluids and to verify their quality. Products like Wine, Beer and Olive Oil for instance, are widely consumed over the world. These products do have a major role in people's dietary habits and their quality is of greater concern from day to day. If we can make use of a monitoring system that is able to perform measurements in situ, on line and in real time, then we will obviously have the capacity to improve quality. Particles that are suspended in consumable fluid samples interact with radiation by scattering it in almost all directions. If we can detect this scattered radiation, then we have information on the suspended particles. Making use on some Physical relations, we can transpose this information to physical parameters like Color and Turbidity.

14TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON OPTICAL FIBER SENSORS
Abstract
Monitoring and control of RTM process is essential to minimise trial and errors and optimise cycle productions. Hence a research programme was established to study different systems to control the process. In this paper, several experiments are described in which an on-line system based on fibre Bragg sensors was implemented.

FIBER OPTIC AND LASER SENSORS AND APPLICATIONS: INCLUDING DISTRIBUTED AND MULTIPLEXED FIBER OPTIC SENSORS VII
Abstract
We report on the integration of optical fiber containing Bragg gratings in the structure of both optical and power cables. It is shown that fiber Bragg gratings provide an efficient method to monitor quasi-distributed mechanical strength along optical cables. This technology is also applied to the monitoring of temperature in power cables for transmission/distribution infrastructures. We show that there are no losses introduced during the cabling process, and the temperature sensitivity of the fiber Bragg grating was found to be only slightly affected by the extrusion process. Results are presented for cable operation in real environment.
