Primary converters for optical sensors of physical values based on polymer dispersed cholesteric liquid crystal
The investigations of system based on cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) sensors of physical quantities with an information transfer optical channel are carried out in the paper. The results of experimental investigations of spectral characteristics of polymer dispersed cholesteric liquid crystals (PDCLC) are represented. The application such material as primary transducer of a temperature sensor is proposed. The structure of an optical fiber temperature sensor with successive allocations of primary transducers and shifted areas of selective reflection band has been designed.
