NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING OF THE FRESHNESS OF MEAT BY USING NEAR-INFRARED REFLECTANCE SPECTROSCOPY

The value of PH and conductivity of meat were studied as two indicators of freshness, the relationship between PH and conductivity with freshness were obtained by adopting least squares fitting algorithm, and both these indicators can well characterize the relationship of freshness in the permissible error range. The models to predict the value of PH and conductivity based on near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy were established. The correlation coefficients R2 were 83.43% and 84.79%, RMSECV were 0.215 and 0.0703 for PH and conductivity of calibration model, respectively. Test the external prediction sample set by the optimization models, the prediction mean square error (RMSEP) were 0.271 and 0.0768, the regression coefficient of predicted value and actual value were 87.28% and 86.7% for these two indicators. Combine the relation formulas and the prediction values we can indicate the freshness of meat quickly and non -invasively.

ANALYSIS OF LASER FOCUSING CR DEPOSITION FOCUSING ON THE EFFECTS OF LASER POWER

Deposition of Cr for nano-grating structure is examined from a wave-mechanical perspective, focusing on the effects of laser power. The result shows that considering the wave character of Cr atom, the focal plane will vary with laser power. So in order to obtain good nanogration structures, it is better to locate the substrate at the focal plane according to different laser power. When the focal plane coincides with the Gaussian center, the nanograting has good structure quality in range of [-0.2, 0.2] in y direction, while beyond that the structures will diffuse, and even disappear. The nanograting in the plane of Y=0 has the average space of 212.78 nm, FWMH of 4.25 nm, and contrast of 5.7.

A DISCUSSION OF SOURCES OF ERROR IN LASER–SPECKLE BASED SYSTEMS

Applying laser–speckle techniques in the material sciences as well as in methods to characterize surface conditions of specimen has become the method of choice especially if a non–contacting principle is sought. This is almost always the case for specimen that are small in at least one dimension as for example in the material testing of foils, fibres or micromaterials and certainly also if elevated test–temperatures are preventing standard gauges.In this paper some widely overlooked sources of errors that — if unavoidable — increase measurement uncertainty beyond the theoretical limit attainable are discussed and the magnitude of their influence is detailed.In particular the following effects are considered: The laser–source wavelength stability as well as its pointing stability, the effects caused by so–called schlieren occuring along the optical path as well as temperature effects causing changes in the systems geometry, thermally influencing the optical parameters of the imaging optics as well as the often overlooked and in most illumination systems unknown radius of curvature of the laser wavefronts used to illuminate the specimen. Small though as these influences seem, they might contribute significant uncertainties especially in material testing applications where the strain ε = ℓ, ℓ is to be determined out of consecutive measurements of usually small changes in overall length ℓ of the specimens geometry parameter. Typical values of ε are bounded by ±2000 ppm (the typical range of Hooke’s law for steel). So values of ℓ on the order of tenth of micrometers for typical gauge lenghts around 50 mm yield ppm resolutions for ε. Analyzing the above mentioned error sources one can quickly see that all of them, if not taken care of appropriately, carry the potential to cause significantly larger deviations than the resolution sought after demands.

SPECTRA ANALYSIS OF TWO TYPES OF FIBER GRATING LASER WITH V-I TRANSMISSION MATRIX METHOD

V-I Transmission Matrix Method(VITMM) is firstly used for analyzing transmission spectra of two types of fiber grating laser respectively, one is single-cavity resonator formed by a uniform fiber grating and a chirped fiber grating, the other is double-cavity resonator formed by three uniform fiber gratings. Compared with multi-layer method, VITMM could improve efficiency on the premise of accuracy. It is demonstrated that single longitudinal mode output is much easier to be attained in double-cavity fiber grating laser configuration.

ANGLE MEASUREMENT METHOD BASED ON THE DUEL GRATINGS COMBINATION

The present study is focused on the angle measurement with the combination of coarse and fine gratings to simplify the structure of measuring instruments at the same accuracy. A series of experiments were completed by using the He-Ne laser and the gratings with the periods of 83.37um and 6.325um, which shows that the accuracy of the angle measurement is better than 2′. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method is avail to simplify the instrument and improve the accuracy.

RESEARCH ON THE MOIRÉ FRINGES FORMED BY CIRCULAR GRATING AND LINEAR GRATING

The features of moiré fringe, which is generated by overlapping a circular grating and a linear grating, were studied by ordinal number equation in this paper. Given that the pitch of circular grating is a and that of linear grating is p, the figures of moiré fringe formed by them are hyperbola, parabola and ellipse when a > p, a = p and a < p, respectively. As the pitches of these two gratings are close to each other, magnification of moiré fringe is over 100, which is useful for the measurement of a small displacement. However, the shape of moiré fringe will no longer be distinguishable at the same time. Besides, the larger the fill factor is, the lower the visibility of moiré fringe is. The recommended range of grating parameters was also given to attain to an ideal observation result in the paper.

DEVELOPMENT OF PHOTOBIOLOGICAL SAFETY STANDARDS AND MEASUREMENTS FOR LED PRODUCTS

Photobiological safety related to LED products is currently being addressed in IEC 62471-2006 / CIES009/E:2002. High-power LEDs with attached output optics generally have complex beam profiles. The measurements of weighted radiance and irradiance for maximal exposure related to photobiological safety classification of LED optical radiation are very different from those of traditional luminance/illuminance, and are not tractable yet to any national laboratories. The main features include,
a. Photobiological response weighted, e. g. by BLH spectral function
b. Field of view related to the exposure duration
c. Incidence aperture as eye’s pupil
d. Accessible maximal exposure
e. Focusing on the apparent sources, not true sources
The retinal hazard caused by LED optical radiation is a considerable dominant effect, which includes thermal burn and photochemically induced retinal injury. For white LEDs based on blue LED chips and yellow phosphor, the main hazard is the photochemical retinal injury caused by blue radiation of high color temperature, high luminance area of LED products. The hazard functions for both thermal and photochemical hazard assessment and the spectral response V(λ) of photopic vision are entirely different. Thus it is necessary to determine the spectral radiance of LED from 300 nm to 1400 nm, whose spectral range is wider than that of normal commercial instruments, and the measurement shall be in accordance with the optical hazard principle to human eyes.

OPTICAL MEASUREMENT SYSTEM FOR INLINE INSPECTION IN CARBIDE INSERT PRODUCTION

In steps of the production chain of carbide inserts, such as unloading or packaging, the conformity test of the insert type is done manually, which causes a statistic increase of errors due to monotony and fatigue of the worker and the wide variety of the insert types. A machine vision system is introduced that measures and inspects the chip-former geometry of the inserts, the most significant insert quality feature in the production line automatically. The proposed two image processing approaches for insert geometry recognition, edge-based and feature-based method, are developed with utilisation of a priori knowledge of the carbide inserts and of the production environment. These new methods have been tested on several inserts of different types and the results have shown that the prevalent insert types can be inspected and robustly classified in real production environment and therefore improves the manufacturing automation.

MEASUREMENT OF THE GOOS-HÄNCHEN SHIFTS FOR A BOUNDED MICROWAVE BEAM IN A PMMA DOUBLE-PRISM SYSTEM

It was in the microwave frequency range of 8.2 GHz to 12.4 GHz that a polymerhyl methacrylate(PMMA) Double-Prism system has been built. In this system, using a parabolic transmitter antenna and a wave-absorbing slab with a electrically large size slot, the finite-sized quasiparallel Guass beam as light wave can be guarenteed when incident source is sufficiently far. In consequence, discretely sampling from 9.25GHz to 12.25GHz, measured the Goos-Hänchen (GH) effect of total reflection beam for TM polarization at the air gap of width 4mm, where the frustrated internal total reflection(FITR) phenomenon has been realized, and at the air gap of width 20mm.,where the internal total reflection has not been destroyed. However, the observed values are not in agreement with theoretical predictions provided by Artmann. So, the nonideal nature of real world sources must be included for accurate interpretation of experimental results. Eventually, the measurement results have been successfully verified through the Fourier optics method of angular spectrum based on source edge diffraction considerations.

RAMAN MINIATURIZED SYSTEM FOR FIELD APPLICATIONS

Raman spectroscopy is a powerful and versatile research technique with a broad range of potential applications, which includes laboratory studies, on-line industrial process monitoring and field measurements. Scope of the field applications includes environment monitoring, detection of dangerous or prohibited materials and rapid identification of unknown samples. It stimulates development of dedicated Raman measurement equipment having small size and weight, low supply voltage and reduced power consumption as well as robust construction without moving parts. Moreover, equipment should be affordable and user interface should be accepted even by semiskilled personnel. In this paper selected problems of development of the portable Raman spectrometer and its usage in out-door applications are presented. Model of the portable system using two lasers: 785 nm and 355 nm, was set up and used for preliminary measurements, which were carried out for selected chemicals in order to find out if sensitivity and resolution of the system are sufficient for wider groups of materials. Also problems referred to Raman signals acquisition through packages as well as influence of interfering signals were investigated.
