The films are deposited on surface-type inter-digitated silver electrodes on ceramic alumina substrates. The effects of illumination on the impedance and capacitance of the NiPc–CoPc composite samples are investigated. The samples deposited under centrifugal force show better conductivity than the samples deposited by drop casting technique. In terms of impedance and capacitance sensitivities the samples fabricated under centrifugal force are more sensitive than the drop casting samples. The values of impedance sensitivity（Sz）are equal to（-1.83） MΩ·cm^2/mW and（-5.365） MΩ·cm^2/mW for the samples fabricated using drop casting and under centrifugal force, respectively. Similarly, the values of capacitance sensitivity（Sc） are equal to 0.083 pF·cm^2/mW and 0.185 pF·cm～2/mW for the samples fabricated by drop casting and under centrifugal force. The films deposited using the different procedures could potentially be viable for different operational modes（i.e., conductive or capacitive） of the optical sensors.

This paper presents a novel method for the measuring of three-degree-of-freedom (DOF) rotor orientation of spherical motors using optical sensors. The spatial orientation of spherical rotor is output in the form of ZXZ Euler angles. Firstly, the structure of the measuring system composed of optical sensors and the patterns on the rotor surface are presented, and the operational principle of recognizing intersection points between the optical ring detectors and the latitude/longitude on the rotor surface is illustrated. The analytical model of input-output characteristic is established for the measuring system of three-DOF rotor orientation. Afterwards, the effect of parameters of the optical ring detectors on the linearity, sensitivity, resolving power and measuring range of the measuring system is analyzed using the analytical model. Finally, the feasibility of the measurement is validated through experiments of prototype measuring system. The analysis is expected to be a basis for the design parameter optimization of the orientation measuring system of a PM spherical motor.展开更多

The fibers are processed by chemical method and their outsides are peeled to form particles of irregular distribution and they differ in size, so the slight disturbance range of stochastic wall are formed in fibers. According to the characteristics of power loss of waveguide mode caused by slight disturbance of stochastic wall and radiative mode transmission, the range of slight disturbance of stochastic wall may be served as the sensitive range of the sensor. On the basis of theory of slight disturbance of stochastic wall of planar optical waveguide, the relation between the corrosion time and the opposite power loss by experiments is investigated. In this paper, the measurement results of object of SIFORS are also presented. The results show that the optical sensor technique may be used in the damage evaluation of an aircraft.展开更多

文摘Battery safety has emerged as a critical challenge for achieving carbon neutrality,driven by the increasing frequency of thermal runaway incidents in electric vehicles(EVs)and stationary energy storage systems(ESSs).Conventional battery monitoring technologies struggle to track multiple physicochemical parameters in real time,hindering early hazard detection.Embedded optical fiber sensors have gained prominence as a transformative solution for next-generation smart battery sensing,owing to their micrometer size,multiplexing capability,and electromagnetic immunity.However,comprehensive reviews focusing on their advancements in operando multi-parameter monitoring remain scarce,despite their critical importance for ensuring battery safety.To address this gap,this review first introduces a classification and the fundamental principles of advanced battery-oriented optical fiber sensors.Subsequently,it summarizes recent developments in single-parameter battery monitoring using optical fiber sensors.Building on this foundation,this review presents the first comprehensive analysis of multifunctional optical fiber sensing platforms capable of simultaneously tracking temperature,strain,pressure,refractive index,and monitoring battery aging.Targeted strategies are proposed to facilitate the practical development of this technology,including optimization of sensor integration techniques,minimizing sensor invasiveness,resolving the cross-sensitivity of fiber Bragg grating(FBG)through structural innovation,enhancing techno-economics,and combining with artificial intelligence(AI).By aligning academic research with industry requirements,this review provides a methodological roadmap for developing robust optical sensing systems to ensure battery safety in decarbonization-driven applications.

文摘The measurement of spherical rotor orientation is crucial to the close-loop control of spherical motors. This paper presents a novel method for the measuring of three-degree-of-freedom (DOF) rotor orientation of spherical motors using optical sensors. The spatial orientation of spherical rotor is output in the form of ZXZ Euler angles. Firstly, the structure of the measuring system composed of optical sensors and the patterns on the rotor surface are presented, and the operational principle of recognizing intersection points between the optical ring detectors and the latitude/longitude on the rotor surface is illustrated. The analytical model of input-output characteristic is established for the measuring system of three-DOF rotor orientation. Afterwards, the effect of parameters of the optical ring detectors on the linearity, sensitivity, resolving power and measuring range of the measuring system is analyzed using the analytical model. Finally, the feasibility of the measurement is validated through experiments of prototype measuring system. The analysis is expected to be a basis for the design parameter optimization of the orientation measuring system of a PM spherical motor.

文摘This paper presents the development of a bioinspired multifunctional flexible optical sensor(BioMFOS)as an ultrasensitive tool for force(intensity and location)and orientation sensing.The sensor structure is bioinspired in orb webs,which are multifunctional devices for prey capturing and vibration transmission.The multifunctional feature of the structure is achieved by using transparent resins that present both mechanical and optical properties for structural integrity and strain/deflection transmission as well as the optical signal transmission properties with core/cladding configuration of a waveguide.In this case,photocurable and polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS)resins are used for the core and cladding,respectively.The optical transmission,tensile tests,and dynamic mechanical analysis are performed in the resins and show the possibility of light transmission at the visible wavelength range in conjunction with high flexibility and a dynamic range up to 150 Hz,suitable for wearable applications.The BioMFOS has small dimensions(around 2 cm)and lightweight(0.8 g),making it suitable for wearable application and clothing integration.Characterization tests are performed in the structure by means of applying forces at different locations of the structure.The results show an ultra-high sensitivity and resolution,where forces in theμN range can be detected and the location of the applied force can also be detected with a sub-millimeter spatial resolution.Then,the BioMFOS is tested on the orientation detection in 3D plane,where a correlation coefficient higher than 0.9 is obtained when compared with a gold-standard inertial measurement unit(IMU).Furthermore,the device also shows its capabilities on the movement analysis and classification in two protocols:finger position detection(with the BioMFOS positioned on the top of the hand)and trunk orientation assessment(with the sensor integrated on the clothing).In both cases,the sensor is able of classifying the movement,especially when analyzed in conjunction with preprocessing and clustering techniques.As another wearable application,the respiratory rate is successfully estimated with the BioMFOS integrated into the clothing.Thus,the proposed multifunctional device opens new avenues for novel bioinspired photonic devices and can be used in many applications of biomedical,biomechanics,and micro/nanotechnology.

文摘Responsive photonic crystals(RPCs) constructed by periodic two/three-dimensional(2D/3D) photonic crystals(PCs) and responsive-material hosts,are important visualized optical sensors.Their optical diffraction color can be tuned reversibly by external stimuli,such as pH,metal ions,biomolecules,vapors and solvents,hence leading to wide applications as visualized sensors.This review introduces the recent progress of RPCs based on 2D/3D PCs for visual detection of chemical and biological analytes,including the preparation of 2D PCs,3D PCs films,3D PCs microbeads and their applications as visualized sensors.The different cases of detecting various chemical and biological analytes by naked eyes are presented.Emphasis is given to the description of their respective sensing mechanisms with the different systems for chemical and biological analytes.Compared with 3D RPCs sensors,2D RPCs sensors have shorter response time,better stabilization and higher production efficiency,however,the diffraction intensity of 2D RPCs based on monolayered 2D polystyrene(PS) microsphere array are weak.2D RPCs sensors based on 2D Au nanosphere can significantly improve the diffraction intensity compared with traditional 2D RPCs sensors based on monolayered PS microsphere array.The much higher scattering cross section of Au nanosphere leads to 2D Au nanosphere array with ultrahigh optical diffraction intensity,which are highly helpful for their practical application as visual sensors and further quantitative detection by monitoring the diffraction peak position and intensity.
文摘In this article,highly sensitive and low confinement loss enriching micro structured photonic crystal fiber(PCF)has been suggested as an optical sensor.The proposed PCF is porous cored hexagonal(P-HPCF)where cladding contains five layers with circular air holes and core vicinity is formed by two layered elliptical air holes.Two fundamental propagation characteristics such as the relative sensitivity and confinement loss of the proposed P-HPCF have been numerically scrutinized by the full vectorial finite element method(FEM)simulation procedure.The optimized values are modified with different geometrical parameters like diameters of circular or elliptical air holes,pitches of the core,and cladding region over a spacious assortment of wavelength from 0.8 ktm to 1.8-m.All pretending results exhibit that the relative sensitivity is enlarged according to decrement of wavelength of the transmission band(O+E+S+C+L+U).In addition,all useable liquids reveal the maximum sensitivity of 57.00%,57.18%,and 57.27%for n=1.33,1.354,and 1.366 respectively by lower band.Moreover,effective area,nonlinear coefficient,frequency,propagation constant,total electric energy,total magnetic energy,and wave number in free space of the proposed P-HPCF have been reported recently.
文摘Handheld optical sensors recently have been introduced to the agricultural market.These handheld sensors are able to provide operators with Normalized Difference Vegetative Index(NDVI)data when cloud cover prevents acquisition of satellite or aerial images.This research addressed the sensitivity of the GreenSeeker handheld optical sensor to changes in orientation and height above a ryegrass canopy.Planter boxes were oriented both parallel and perpendicular to the light beam from the sensor head and heights of 30.5 cm(12”),61.0 cm(24”),91.5 cm(36”),122 cm(48”)and 152 cm(60”)were tested.Results indicated that the sensor was highly sensitive(P<0.0001)to both height above canopy and orientation of the sensor relative to the target.Operators should follow manufacturer’s recommendations on operating height range of 81-122 cm and orient the sensor head in-line with the target to obtain maximum signal response.

文摘Herein,we report on surface plasmon(SP)-sensitive semitransparent inverted polymer photovoltaic(PV)devices that are based on multilayered material systems consisting of poly(3-hexylthiophene):fullerene-derivative bulk-heterojunction PV layers and thin gold or silver anodes.We demonstrate that these PV devices allow the simultaneous generation of both electrical power and SPs on their anodes for photoexcitation just above the optical absorption edge of the PV layers,resulting not only in attenuated total reflection,but also in attenuated photocurrent generation(APG)under the SP resonance(SPR)condition.Moreover,we also confirm that the biomolecular interaction of biotin–streptavidin on the PV devices can be precisely detected via apparent SPR angle shifts in the APG spectra,even without the need for complex attenuated total reflection configurations.We highlight our view that APG measurements made using these PV devices show great potential for the development of future generations of compact and highly sensitive SPR-based optical sensors.

文摘This paper presents an optical sensor technique used in the damage evaluation which is formed by structurally integrated fiber optic reticulate sensors embedded in the composite materials. The fibers are processed by chemical method and their outsides are peeled to form particles of irregular distribution and they differ in size, so the slight disturbance range of stochastic wall are formed in fibers. According to the characteristics of power loss of waveguide mode caused by slight disturbance of stochastic wall and radiative mode transmission, the range of slight disturbance of stochastic wall may be served as the sensitive range of the sensor. On the basis of theory of slight disturbance of stochastic wall of planar optical waveguide, the relation between the corrosion time and the opposite power loss by experiments is investigated. In this paper, the measurement results of object of SIFORS are also presented. The results show that the optical sensor technique may be used in the damage evaluation of an aircraft.

文摘Optical sensors provide a fast and real-time approach to detect benzene,toluene,ethylbenzene,and xylenes(BTEX)in environmental monitoring and industrial safety.However,detecting the concentration of a particular gas in a mixture can be challenging.Here,we develop a machine-learning model that can precisely measure BTEX concentrations simultaneously based on an absorption spectroscopy gas sensing system.The convolutional neural network(CNN)is utilized to identify the absorbance spectra for each volatile,along with their concentrations in a mixture.A synthetic data set is generated using a series of physics-based simulations to create the predictive model.The data set consists of the overall absorbance of numerous random BTEX mixtures over time,based on various percentages of the permissible exposure limit(PEL).It is worth noting that benzene has a negligible absorbance(very low PEL,1–5 ppm)compared to other volatile gases,which makes it difficult to detect.To address this challenge,we introduce a 3-stage solution to accurately discriminate between all BTEX species,regardless of their concentration levels.As a result,the R-squared above 0.99 for toluene,ethylbenzene,and oxylene,and the R-squared above 0.96 for benzene,is achieved,indicating the model's capability to predict BTEX concentrations.
