Principle of Plastic Fiber Optic Color Sensor
Fiber optic sensors detect color by measuring reflected wavelengths; methods include comparison and triangulation. Jose Miguel Lopez-Higuera: Handbook of Optical Fiber Sensing Technology, John Wiley & Sons, 2002. Radiation absorption creates electronic excited states that are trapped by localized defects for extended periods of. The field of fiber optics has undergone tremendous growth and advancement over the last 25 years. Initially conceived as a medium to carry light and images for medical endoscopic applications, optical fibers were later proposed in the mid 1960's as an adequate information-carrying medium for. Several measurement techniques will be described, with a strong focus on interrogation approaches based on intensity variation in transmission.
