Class 356/506 - Fabry-Perot type


Subclass of Class 356 - Optics: measuring and testing
Definition: Gap measurement wherein a gap is created by at least two
No. of applications: 7
Last issue date: 09/10/2009


Application No.Application TitleIssue Date
20090225325METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTINUOUS READOUT OF FABRY-PEROT FIBER OPTIC SENSOR
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, the...
