Abstract A new design of a differential flow refractometer has been developed to monitor the condition of flowing media in a pipeline. A new method of refractive index measurement has been implemented, taking into account the specifics of flowing and closed cuvette arrangement, as well as the angles of incidence of laser radiation on their walls. The effect of changes in the optical density in the flowing liquid on the refractive index measurement result is determined. The results of experimental investigations of different media are presented.

The necessity of developing a new method for measuring the refractive index of a liquid in a turbulent mode of its flow in a pipeline is substantiated. A new method for measuring the refractive index of a medium n is presented. For its practical implementation, a new design of a flow-through refractometer has been developed, which makes it possible to measure n in both laminar and turbulent fluid flow. A new design of the optical part of the refractometer is considered. A new way of placing it on the vertical section of the pipeline for measuring n is proposed. All this makes it possible to make insignificant the influence on the measurement result of n flowing liquid of errors associated with multiple reflections of laser radiation from optical elements, with the formation of voids or vortex flows in the pipeline and with temperature fluctuations. In the design of a refractometer with a new method for measuring n, there are no restrictions on determining the value of n of a flowing liquid, in contrast to the used industrial flow-through refractometers, the principle of which is based on the phenomenon of total internal reflection of laser radiation at the interface of two media. The results of experimental studies of various media are presented.

Factors that are affected the influence of the measurement error of the refractive index n in the flowing liquid (change in its optical density and temperature) are established. A during the using a differential flow type refractometer for measuring n flowing fliquid on the error in measuring the refractive index is additionally influenced by the scattering of radiation in the cell transducer and the wedge-shaped glass of the cell. New design of a differential refractometer for investigation of the optical density influence of the flowing liquid on the measurement error n is developped. New results confirming the influence of changes in the optical density of the flowing liquid on the measuring error of the refractive index n are recived. Compensation technique of the changes influence a optical density on the measurement error n is offered.

The article a the new design of flowing refractometer of differential type for media condition control both in laminar and turbulent flow regimes is considered. Given the peculiarities of the location of the flow and closed cuvette and the angles of incidence of laser radiation on their walls we have implemented a new method of measuring the refractive index n in new developed design of refractometer. This allowed us to make the influence of a number of errors related with unbalance voltage on the photoelectric converter, with an increase in the number of reflections between optical elements of laser radiation, with the presence of a transport link for the selection of flowing fluid and temperature fluctuations on the result of measuring the refractive index. The technique allowing to reduce the influence of change of the optical density of the flowing liquid on the measurement error of refractive index is proposed. The results of experimental investigations for different media are presented.

The generation of lossy mode resonances (LMR) with a metallic oxide film deposited on an optical fiber has attracted the attention of many applications. However, an LMR-based optical fiber sensor is frangible, and therefore it does not allow control of the temperature and is not suited to mass production. This paper aims to develop a temperature-controlled lossy mode resonance (TC-LMR) sensor on an optical planar waveguide with an active temperature control function in which an ITO film is not only used as the LMR resonance but also to provide the heating function to achieve the benefits of compact size and active temperature control. A simple flat model about the heat transfer mechanism is proposed to determine the heating time constant for the applied voltages. The TC-LMR sensor is evaluated experimentally for refractive index measurement using a glycerol solution. The heating temperature functions relative to the controlled voltages for water and glycerol are obtained to verify the performance of the TC-LMR sensor. The TC-LMR sensor is a valuable sensing device that can be used in clinical testing and point of care for programming heating with precise temperature control.
