Variable optical path probe

Variable optical path probe


The transmission-type immersion probe with variable optical path can be used for online measurement of liquid absorption rate. The optical path of this probe, with an outer diameter of 1/2 inch, can be adjusted by the user
It is set within the range of 0.5 mm to 20 mm, making it extremely versatile for liquids with high or low absorption rates. Simply immerse the probe tip
Once immersed in the liquid, measurements can be taken. The light from the light source can be coupled into a fiber bundle consisting of six optical fibers through a standard SMA905 connector
Then, it is transmitted all the way to the probe tip, and reflected by a diffusely reflective white material through a user-defined physical gap ranging from 0.25 to 10 mm
The reflected light enters the seventh detection fiber, which transmits the detected data into the spectrometer through an SMA905 connector. in order to
To maximize the detection efficiency of the probe, the detection fiber at the end of the probe is placed in the middle of the illumination fiber. All fiber bundles are installed in a
Inside the flexible stainless steel casing, the fiber optic bundle is divided into two parts within the metal section in the middle of the probe. The two one-meter-long fiber optic cables are respectively connected to the spectrometer and the light source
