FIBER OPTICS IN AEROSPACE VEHICLE HAZARD DETECTION
Abstract
Light-transmitting glass fiber bundles in various configurations have been subjected to extensive optical, mechanical and thermal testing and to various other analyses. The report provides im portant information on fiber optic characteristics as well as design considerations for developing optimum systems. System configurations are rec ommended which would extend the capabilities of the basic fiber bundle in meeting the diverse requirements of installation, operation and maintenance in various applications. An experi mental fiber optic system for flame detection is described. It uses a 25 foot long bundle and incorporates a special photoelectric detection system and other embodiments of our findings.
