Abstract

A temperature sensing probe was designed utilizing the unique optical properties of thermotropic liquid crystals. An electronic and fiberoptic system coupled to the sensor was used to monitor temperature-dependent interactions of light (660 nm) with the liquid crystal mixture. The probe is a nonmetallic, nonperturbing thermal sensor for continuous temperature measurements of biological specimens subjected to electromagnetic fields. The advantages and disadvantages of the Liquid Crystal Optical Fiber (LCOF) temperature probe are discussed along with some typical applications where accurate dosimetry and thermometry are important parameters in experimental studies.

摘要

利用热致液晶独特的光学特性设计了一种温度传感探头。耦合到该传感器的电子和光纤系统用于监测光（660纳米）与液晶混合物的温度相关相互作用。该探头是一种非金属、无干扰的热传感器，用于对处于电磁场中的生物样本进行连续温度测量。本文讨论了液晶光纤（LCOF）温度探头的优缺点，并列举了一些典型应用，在这些应用中，精确的剂量测定和温度测量是实验研究中的重要参数。
