Fiber optic displacement sensor for determining rotational speed
Abstract: In this paper, a fiber optic sensor system (FOSS) is proposed for the measurement of the rotational speed of a DC motor. CEL s linear sensor has a travel range from less than 1 inch up to 18 inches with an accuracy of 0. Radiation absorption creates electronic excited states that are trapped by localized defects for extended periods of time. A device is provided for measuring angular displacement and rotational movement of a shaft or linear displacement of an object comprising a light source, a Multichannel Fiber Optic Bundle, an optical code wheel or linear scale with optical tracks for light modulation, including typically a raster.
