Developments in thermal imaging technology
Peter Dennis, Tim J. Phillips, Dave HuckridgeThe ability to see in the dark is a key differentiator in many military scenarios and the development of thermal imaging (TI) systems has provided the military with a battle…
The fast moving world of terahertz technology
Robert W. BogueDiscusses recent progress in technology based on electromagnetic radiation at terahertz frequencies. Considers recent corporate activities and describes technological developments…
Non‐contacting optical sensors for real‐time water quality monitoring
Robert W. BogueDescribes the development of low cost optical sensor systems for water quality monitoring developed under the “LOADMON” EU research programme. It uses two laser diodes as the…
Remote gas detection using ambient thermal infrared
Robert W. BogueDescribes a passive, open‐path infrared gas detector that utilises thermal background radiation as the source. Explains its mode of operation, provides a specification and…
Fibre Bragg sensors used to measure gas temperature in an airship
Robert W. BogueDescribes the use of a distributed optical temperature sensor, based on fibre Bragg grating technology, to monitor the temperature distribution of helium within a prototype…
US company develops high sensitivity gas detector based on novel laser technology
Robert W. BogueDescribes a unique optical source, the quantum cascade laser (QCL) and its application to gas detection. The instruments can detect both nitric oxide and carbon monoxide at…
The contribution of thermoreflectance to high resolution thermal mapping
C. Filloy, G. Tessier, S. Holé, G. Jerosolimski, D. FournierThermal phenomena that occur in operating integrated circuits can disturb their functioning and even cause failures. In order to prevent such dramatic issues, it is necessary to…
An entropy‐switched adaptive smoothing approach for time series data
D.J. Telfer, J.W. Spencer, G.R. JonesThis paper describes a method of removing noise from time series data records whilst preserving salient features of short duration, such as sharp transitions and significant…
Experimental investigation into low pressure gas discharges in microwave electric field optical sensor probes
C. Fitzpatrick, P. Mavromatidis, E. Lewis, J. Lucas, A. Al‐Shamma'aThis paper investigates the feasibility of using the emission intensity of low‐pressure argon and nitrogen gas discharges as the sensing mechanism for a microwave electric field…
Thin films of (TeO2)1−x(In2O3)x as gamma radiation sensors
K. Arshak, O. KorostynskaThin films of tellurium dioxide (TeO2) and indium oxide (In2O3) mixtures were investigated for γ‐radiation dosimetry purpose. Samples were fabricated using thermal vacuum…
Multi‐tip sparker for the generation of acoustic pulses
Wijnand R. Rutgers, Ivan de JongSparkers can be used for the production of acoustic pulses as seismic source for sub‐bottom profiling in the sea. A multi‐tip (200‐800 tips) sparker has been developed, which…
Monitoring plasma jets containing micro particles with chromatic techniques
P.C. Russell, B.E. Djakov, R. Enikov, D.H. Oliver, Y. Wen, G.R. JonesA description about the use of the chromatic methodology for monitoring an arc plasma jet utilised for heating micro particles for forming plasma sprayed coatings is given. It is…
