Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments

26
Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMs) are essential tools in modern surveying, offering precise distance measurements by emitting electromagnetic signals and calculating the time required for these signals to travel to a target and return. Two primary types of signals are used in EDMs — light waves and microwaves — each suited to specific environmental and distance requirements. Light-wave-based EDMs utilize either infrared or laser light, providing high accuracy over short...

Area of Science:

  • Optoelectronics and Photonics
  • Sensor Technology
  • Mechanical Engineering

Background:

  • Optical Fiber Displacement Sensors (OFDSs) offer advantages like compactness and electromagnetic immunity, making them suitable for confined spaces.
  • Fiber bundle geometry critically impacts OFDS performance, including sensitivity, range, and dead zones.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a streamlined design methodology for azimuthally symmetric OFDSs.
  • To enhance the linear range and sensitivity of OFDSs through optimized fiber bundle configurations.

Main Methods:

  • Proposed a pentafurcated fiber bundle design: one central transmitting fiber and four concentric rings of fibers.
  • Investigated the impact of fiber geometry on sensor performance parameters.
  • Conducted experimental validation of the proposed design.

Main Results:

  • The pentafurcated design significantly increased the sensor's range up to 10.5 mm.
  • Achieved enhanced sensitivity of 2 mm⁻¹ with the optimized configuration.
  • Minimized the sensor's dead zone to 2.5 mm for accurate short-distance measurements.

Conclusions:

  • The streamlined design methodology effectively improves OFDS performance.
  • The pentafurcated fiber bundle configuration represents a significant advancement in OFDS technology.
  • This optimized OFDS is suitable for accurate measurements in applications with limited space and access.
