Fiber-optic multiband radiometer for online measurements of near room temperature and emissivity.

A multiband infrared fiber-optic radiometer was developed for online near room temperature and emissivity measurements. Real time measurements were carried out on gray and selective bodies at near room temperature. The mean accuracy obtained for the body temperature was roughly 1 degrees C and for emissivity was roughly 0.

All-fiber-optic infrared multispectral radiometer for measurements of temperature and emissivity of graybodies at near-room temperature.

An all-fiber-optic infrared multispectral radiometer for measurements of temperature and emissivity of graybodies at near-room temperature was constructed. Different spectral regions in the radiometer were obtained by use of hollow glass waveguides (HGWs) as filters. Using HGWs instead of bulk filters was advantageous because each HGW can be used as two different spectral filters when a dual-band IR detector is used.

Photolytic fabrication of phase gratings on silver halide crystals.

Diffraction phase gratings are formed on samples of crystalline silver halide by exposing them through a mask to 353-nm laser light followed by chemical processing. The exposure and photographic development processes generate metallic silver strips on the sample surface. The fixing process removes the silver strips, leaving grooves on the surface as deep as 1.
