Temperature Measurement Sites

3.7K
A thermometer measures body temperature. The common sites for measuring body temperature are the oral cavity, axillary region, temporal artery, and skin surface, such as the forehead, abdomen, and axilla. True core body temperature is assessed in the rectum, tympanic membrane, pulmonary artery, esophagus, and urinary bladder.
Oral: When assessing oral temperature, the thermometer tip should be placed under the tongue in the posterior sublingual pocket. It offers accurate readings and can be...

Area of Science:

  • Photonics and Optical Sensing
  • Material Science for Sensors
  • Environmental Monitoring Technologies

Background:

  • Accurate relative humidity (RH) monitoring is crucial across various scientific and industrial applications.
  • Existing RH sensors often face limitations in sensitivity, cost, or response time.
  • Developing novel sensing materials and structures is key to advancing RH detection capabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present and experimentally demonstrate an intensity-modulated optical fiber relative humidity (RH) sensor.
  • To investigate the performance of a sensor utilizing agarose gel and a twisted macro-bend coupling structure.
  • To optimize sensor design for enhanced sensitivity and reduced limit of detection.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of an optical fiber sensor incorporating agarose gel and a macro-bend coupling structure.
  • Utilizing side coupling induction technology (SCIT) for intensity modulation.
  • Characterizing sensor response to varying relative humidity levels and analyzing sensitivity and limit of detection at different bend radii.

Main Results:

  • The refractive index of agarose gel shows a linear relationship with RH from 20% to 80%.
  • Sensor sensitivity increases with decreasing bend radius, achieving 4.23 nW/% at 8 mm bend radius (40-80% RH).
  • A higher sensitivity of 12.49 nW/% and a lower limit of detection (0.55%) were observed for RH levels between 80% and 90%.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed optical fiber RH sensor based on SCIT and agarose gel offers a promising low-cost sensing solution.
  • The sensor exhibits good reversibility, fast response, and compensable temperature dependence.
  • The design effectively improves signal-to-noise ratio by stripping source noise, enhancing overall performance.
