“…Various spectroscopy-based fiber-optic and micro-optic devices have been designed and tested for monitoring the quality and safety of typical foods, such as extra virgin olive oil, wine, whisky, beer, tequila, honey, milk, and many others. These sensors belong to two different types: those performing direct spectroscopy on the food sample, and those making use of an optical transducer which changes color or fluorescence according to the sample under test [3].…”

The last couple of decades had witnessed a steep rise in extensive research of optoelectronic and fiber optical communication fields, which resulted in applications focused initially in military, aerospace equipments, and later in health monitoring for medicine, heritage culture and various engineering fields. Health monitoring has attracted the effort of many engineers throughout the world and is fast emerging as a pioneering field. It is helping to improve world economy in two ways; first, directly by providing longevity to all the important structures and secondly, by prevention of untimely failure leading to loss of life and money. This field is very vast, consisting of traditional monitoring methods as well as smart system based methods. The fiber optics belong to finest class of smart materials, there are many types and classifications of fiber optics based on necessity, manufacturer and the end user. This paper, gives a complete over view of fiber sensing systems and their usefulness. In addition, it highlights some of the general fiber optics available in the market with selected examples.

“…When combined with multivariate calibration methods, higher accuracy and precision can be achieved [4]. Optical fibre spectroscopy experiments have been previously reported for olive oil, lubricant oil and beer [5] [6]. Furthermore, in the textile industry, the concentration of dyes has been assessed using reflectance spectroscopy [7] or by monitoring the dyebath at a single spectral value [8].…”

Fiber-optic spectroscopic sensor for reactive dye mixture spectrum synthesis in textile industry

et al. 2009

A method for the automatic synthesis of the Ultraviolet-Visible-Near Infrared (UV-Vis-NIR) absorption and transmission spectra of dye mixtures based on the absorption characteristics of their individual dyes is proposed in this paper. Multiple Linear Regression models (MLR) of each dye are obtained using a fiber-optic set-up operating in the 200-1100 nm wavelength range. Textile dyes are thick and dense and, consequently, optically opaque. This gives rise to high absorbance values which do not permit the direct comparison of different textile dye spectra for quality assurance purposes. The proposed multivariate method allows to construct a general model adjusted to the number and concentration of the dyes in the mixture. Furthermore, this dye spectrum synthesis can provide the optimum dilution factor needed to compare two different dye mixtures and test their similarity degree. With the proposed system, the obtained spectral correlation coefficients between the measured and synthesized spectra of a dye mixture are greater than 99% for both the transmission and absorption spectra.
