摘要： An apparatus to interrogate one or more fiber optic sensors to make high-resolution measurements at long distances between the sensor and the interrogator apparatus. The apparatus comprises a tunable light source, an optical switch for pulsing the light source, at least one sensor (e.g., a Fabry-Perot sensor) for reflecting the laser light, a fiber optic cable interconnecting the sensor with the light source, a coupler for directing the reflected light from the sensor to a detector in order to generate a digital output, and a control logic for tuning the laser light source based on the digital output from the detector. Use of a fiber Bragg grating temperature sensor is also contemplated.

摘要： The present invention pertains to differential pressure transducers. In an embodiment of the invention, a differential pressure transducer includes a transducer housing, a diaphragm, a bellows, and a sensing assembly. The transducer housing, diaphragm, and bellows are coupled to form a pressure chamber. The pressure chamber is separated into two portions by the diaphragm, with each portion arranged to be filled with a process fluid. A pressure differential across the diaphragm causes displacement of the diaphragm. Such displacement is measured by the sensing assembly and used to calculate the pressure differential between the two process fluids.

摘要： A method for monitoring changes in a gap which corresponds to changes in a particular environmental parameter using a tunable laser and interferometer at high frequency is disclosed. The laser light provided to the interferometer is swept through a small range of wavelengths. Light modulated by the interferometer is detected and a non-sinusoidal light intensity output curve is created, a reference point on the curve identified and subsequent sweep of the laser performed. The difference in time, wavelength, or frequency at the occurrence of the reference point between the two sweeps allows for measuring the relative changes in the gap and, as a result, the change in the environmental parameter.

摘要： A pressure measurement system and method are described. The system uses a tunable laser and a Fabry-Perot sensor with integrated transducer. A detector senses the light modulated by the Fabry-Perot sensor. A signal conditioner, which can be located up to 15 km away, then uses the detector signal to determine the displacement of the diaphragm, which is indicative of pressure exerted against the diaphragm. Use of a temperature sensor to generate a signal, fed to the signal conditioner, to compensate for temperature is also contemplated.

摘要： Linear variable reflector sensors can be used to measure the displacement of objects. These sensors are useful in that they can be very small, do not conduct electricity, and are resistant to electrical interference from EMI/EMP and lightning strikes. The present linear variable reflector system comprises a light source, a light transmitting member in optical communication with the light source, a sensor in optical communication with the light transmitting member. The sensor comprises a moveable transparent body, a reflective material deposited on the transparent body, and at least one film deposited over said reflective material, wherein said reflective material reflects light. Further, the linear variable reflector system comprises a detector coupled to the sensor to detect displacement of the moveable transparent body.
