Abstract
Food analysis is significantly important in monitoring food quality and safety for human health. Traditional methods for food detection mainly rely on benchtop instruments and require a certain amount of analysis time, which promotes the development of portable sensors. Portable sensing methods own many advantages over traditional techniques such as flexibility and accessibility in diverse environments, real-time monitoring, cost-effectiveness, and rapid deployment. This review focuses on the portable approaches based on carbon dots (CDs) for food analysis. CDs are zero-dimensional carbon-based material with a size of less than 10 nm. In the manner of sensing, CDs exhibit rich functional groups, low biotoxicity, good biocompatibility, and excellent optical properties. Furthermore, there are many methods for the synthesis of CDs using various precursor materials. The incorporation of CDs into food science and engineering for enhancing food safety control and risk assessment shows promising prospects.

Abstract
Control of the optical properties of a nanoparticle (NP) through its structural changes underlies optical data processing, dynamic coloring, and smart sensing at the nanometer scale. Here, we report on the concept of controlling the light scattering by a NP through mixing of weakly miscible chemical elements (Fe and Au), supporting a thermal-induced phase transformation. The transformation corresponds to the transition from a homogeneous metastable solid solution phase of the (Fe,Au) NP towards an equilibrium biphasic Janus-type NP. We demonstrate that the phase transformation is thermally activated by laser heating up to a threshold of 800 °C (for NPs with a size of hundreds of nm), leading to the associated changes in the light scattering and color of the NP. The results thereby pave the way for the implementation of optical sensors triggered by a high temperature at the nanometer scale via NPs based on metal alloys.

Liu T, Liu G, Jiang T, Li H, Sun C. Curve Similarity Analysis for Reducing the Temperature Uncertainty of Optical Sensor for Oil-Tank Ground Settlement Monitoring. SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 23:8287. [PMID: 37837117 PMCID: PMC10574854 DOI: 10.3390/s23198287] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Revised: 09/29/2023] [Accepted: 10/03/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023]
Abstract
A nonuniform temperature field can deteriorate the performance of sensors, especially those working in the field, such as an optical sensor for oil-tank ground settlement (GS) monitoring. In this case, the GS monitoring employs hydraulic-level-based sensors (HLBS), which are uniformly installed along with the oil-tank basement perimeter and are all connected by hydraulic tubes. Then, the cylinder structure of the oil tank itself can create a strong temperature difference between the sensors installed in the sunlit front and those in the shadow. Practically, this sunlight-dependent difference can be over 30 °C, by which the thermal expansion of the measuring liquid inside the connecting hydraulic tubes keeps on driving a movement and, thereby, leads to fluctuations in the final result of the oil-tank GS monitoring system. Now, this system can work well at night when the temperature difference becomes negligible. However, temperature uncertainty is generated in the GS sensors due to the large temperature difference between the sensors in the daytime. In this paper, we measured the temperature where the sensor was located. Then, we compared the results of the GS sensors with their corresponding temperatures and fitted them with two separate curves, respectively. After observing the similarity in the tendency of the two curves, we found that there was a qualitative correlative relationship between the change in temperature and the uncertainty in the sensor results. Then, a curve similarity analysis (CSA) principle based on the minimum mean square error (MMSE) criteria was employed to establish an algorithm, by which the temperature uncertainty in the GS sensors was reduced. A practical test proved that the standard deviation was improved by 73.4% by the algorithm. This work could be an example for reducing the temperature uncertainty from in-field sensors through the CSA method.

Abstract
An investigation of fluoroindate glass and fiber co-doped with Yb3+/Er3+ ions as a potential temperature sensor was assessed using the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) technique. Analysis of thermally coupled levels (TCLs-2H11/2 and 4S3/2), non-thermally coupled levels (non-TCLs-4F7/2 and 4F9/2), and their combination were examined. Additionally, the luminescent stability of the samples under constant NIR excitation using different density power at three different temperatures was carried out. The obtained values of absolute sensitivity (0.003 K-1-glass, 0.0019 K-1-glass fiber 2H11/2 → 4S3/2 transition) and relative sensitivity (2.05% K-1-glass, 1.64% K-1-glass fiber 4F7/2 → 4F9/2 transition), as well as high repeatability of the signal, indicate that this material could be used in temperature sensing applications.

Abstract
This research reports an advancement in splicing silica glass fiber to sapphire single-crystal optical fiber (SCF) using a specialized glass processing device, including data that demonstrate the thermal stability of the splice to 1000°C. A filament heating process was used to produce a robust splice between the dissimilar fibers. A femtosecond laser is used to inscribe a fiber Bragg gratings sensor into the SCF to measure the high-temperature capabilities and signal attenuation characteristics of the splice joint. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed splicing method produces a splice joint that is robust, stable, repeatable, and withstands temperatures up to 1000°C with a low attenuation of 0.5 dB. The proposed method allows placement of SCF-based sensors in the extreme environments encountered in various engineering fields, such as nuclear, chemical, aviation, and metals manufacturing, to enable improvements in process monitoring, product quality, and production efficiency.

Abstract
High temperature detection is a constant challenge for condition monitoring under harsh environments in optical fiber sensors research. In this study, the temperature response characteristics of guided acoustic wave Brillouin scattering (GAWBS) spectra in silica single-mode fiber (SMF) up to 800 °C are experimentally investigated, demonstrating the feasibility of the method for high-temperature monitoring. With increasing temperature, the resonance frequency of GAWBS spectra increases in a nearly linear manner, with linearly fitted temperature-dependent frequency shift coefficients of 8.19 kHz/°C for TR2,7 mode and 16.74 kHz/°C for R0,4 mode. More importantly, the linewidth of the GAWBS spectra is observed to narrow down with increasing temperature with a linearly fitted rate of -6.91 × 10-4/°C for TR2,7 modes and -8.56 × 10-4/°C for R0,4 modes. The signal-to-noise ratio of the GAWBS spectra induced by both modes increase by more than 3 dB when the temperature rises from 22 °C to 800 °C, which indicates that the proposed sensing scheme has better performance in high-temperature environments, and are particularly suitable for sensing applications in extreme environments. This study confirms the potential of high-temperature sensing using only GAWBS in silica fibers without any complex micromachining process, which has the advantages of strong mechanical strength, simple structure, easy operation, and low cost.

Abstract
In this article, a cost-effective and fast interrogating system for wide temperature measurement with Fiber Bragg Gratings is presented. The system consists of a Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) with a High Contrast Grating (HCG)-based cavity that allows for the fast tuning of the output wavelength. The work focuses on methods of bypassing the limitations of the used VCSEL laser, especially its relatively narrow tuning range. Moreover, an error analysis is provided by means of the VCSEL temperature instability and its influence on the system performance. A simple proof of concept of the measurement system is shown, where two femtosecond Bragg gratings were used to measure temperature in the range of 25 to 800 °C. In addition, an exemplary simulation of a system with sapphire Bragg gratings is provided, where we propose multiplexation in the wavelength and reflectance domains. The presented concept can be further used to measure a wide range of temperatures with scanning frequencies up to hundreds of kHz.
