U.S.-Ireland Cooperative Research: Fiber Optic Sensing of Contaminant Materials

9511540福尔这个为期两年的奖项将支持爱尔兰都柏林都柏林城市大学的彼得·L·福尔和布莱恩·麦克雷思之间的美爱合作研究。其目的是研究使用光谱和消逝波传感器来检测环境中危险污染物和腐蚀性物质的存在和浓度。这位研究人员参与了光纤传感器的开发，当嵌入民用结构中时，光纤传感器能够运行。他建议使用类似的技术来测试光纤逝去波传感器，用于民用建筑和建筑工地的污染物(或腐蚀)监测。该项目利用了爱尔兰在瞬逝波传感领域的专业知识。这与首席研究员在结合光谱技术的光纤传感器方面的经验相辅相成。该项目将增进对光纤传感器在监测环境活动方面的应用的了解。

9511540 Fuhr This two-year award will support U.S.-Ireland cooperative research between Peter L. Fuhr and Brian MacCraith of Dublin City University, Dublin, Ireland. The objective is to investigate the use of spectroscopic and evanescent wave sensors to detect the presence and concentration amounts of hazardous contaminant and corrosive materials in the environment. The investigator has been involved in the development of fiber optic sensors capable of operating when embedded inside civil structures. He proposes to use similar techniques to test a fiber optic evanescent wave sensor for contaminant (or corrosion) monitoring in civil structures and at construction sites. The project takes advantage of Irish expertise in the field of evanescent wave sensing. This is complemented by the principal investigator's experience in fiber optics sensors incorporating spectroscopic techniques. The project will advance understanding of the application of fiber optic sensors for monitoring environmental activities.
