Ground cherry is a plant in the same family as tomatoes. A notable feature of the ground cherry is the formation of a large papery husk (leafy envelope), which partly or fully encloses the fruit. This plant grows typically in warm temperatures and subtropical regions; thus, is less known in Canada due to the colder climate of our country. Yet, a few farmers in all the provinces plant and distribute their produce to the local market. Since the plant is not widely grown in Canada, producers have had difficulties in preserving the fruit and increasing the quality of their harvest. In Quebec, there exists only one producer of ground cherry - Ferme Granger Inc., located in Saint Jean sur Richelieu. We aim to increase the quality of the produce by evaluating if the ground cherry's skin is intact prior to the opening of the husk. The project consists of the investigation of the optical transmission properties of a ground cherry's husk. For that, we use high intensity light sources in the visible/near infrared range to evaluate the transmission coefficients of the leafy envelope. This is research in the field of Applied Physics which is done with students at Engineering Technologies Program at John Abbott College.

磨碎的樱桃和西红柿属于同一科植物。研磨樱桃的一个显著特征是队形 指大的纸质外壳(有叶的信封)，部分或全部包住果实。这种植物通常生长在 温暖的温度和亚热带地区；因此，由于我们的气候较冷，在加拿大鲜为人知 国家。然而，所有省份的一些农民都在种植并将他们的农产品分发到当地市场。自.以来 这种植物在加拿大并不广泛种植，生产者在保存水果和提高产量方面遇到了困难。 他们收获的质量。在魁北克，只有一家研磨樱桃的生产商-Ferme Granger Inc. 位于圣让苏尔黎塞留。我们的目标是提高产品的质量，通过评估地面是否 在打开外壳之前，樱桃的皮肤是完好无损的。该项目由光学材料的研究组成。 研磨樱桃果壳的传输特性。为此，我们使用高强度光源在 可见/近红外范围，以评估树叶信封的传输系数。这是一项关于 与约翰·雅培工程技术项目的学生一起完成的应用物理领域 上大学。
