Abstract:

Replace the electrical conductors that interconnect the test measuring points with the display and signal conditioning equipment by glass or plastic fiber optic light guides for transmission of light through a light modulator. The light modulators light conductive or reflective characteristics are changed proportional to the type of measurement being made at the measurement point. The light intensity andor phase is altered in the modulator proportional to the parameter being measured. A reference light can be compared with the light passing through the modulator to simplify system operation. Author
