We present a novel method to study the behaviour of the optical properties of photopolymer materials with temperature. The photopolymer is deposited on the tip of optical fibres by dip coating to fabricate low-finesse Fabry-Perot microcavities. The signal processing technique utilized to interrogate the cavity is based on the generation of two quadrature phase-shifted interferometric signals using two Bragg fibre gratings. This technique enables the determination of the values of the thermo-optical coefficient and the linear coefficient of thermal expansion of the photopolymer. The effectiveness of the processing technique is also exploited in the study of the dependence of the temperature sensitivity on the cavity thickness.
RESUMENEn los primeros años del siglo XIX, Juan José Heydeck propone la realización de unos experimentos con el pus de cabras en lugar del pus de vacas, para luchar contra las viruelas naturales. Estos experimentos requerían un número indeterminado de niños donde verificarlos. En España, el pus de cabras sería una alternativa al pus de vaca. En estos territorios era difícil encontrar el pus de vacas. Esta iniciativa del pus hircino no tuvo el éxito esperado.PALABRAS CLAVE: Vacuna, Viruela, Juan José Heydeck, España, experimentos científicos, siglo XIX.
SUMMARYFirst years of the XIX century, Juan José Heydeck proposes the realization of the experiments with the pus of the goats instead of the pus of the cows, for combat the smallpox. This experiments require more childrens, where to be verified them. In Spain, the pus of the goats will be the one alternative to the pus of the cows. In this country is dificult fall in with the pus of the cows. This iniciative haven´t the hope results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
