The fiber Bragg grating (FBG) technology is studied based on the current monitoring status of the highway soft ground settlement, for instance, the low degree of automation, the unsatisfied accuracy of the device, the slow data transmission and the greater measurement errors. The limited measuring range and the difficult situations of the soft ground burying and installing of the fiber optic sensor still need to be addressed. This thesis has analyzed the development of the long range optical fiber displacement sensor as well as its burying techniques which are suitable for soft ground settlement monitoring. Both of them have been successfully applied to De Chang Highway D10 subject. The study also shows that the long range optical fiber displacement sensor is able to meet the requirements of the soft ground monitoring. And data can be accurately monitored by means of real-time or on-line continuously. This is of great significance in pushing forward the development of the fiber optical monitoring technology in the field.

This paper proposes an original model of a polarimetric current sensor, in which the measuring coil was made of a single mode telecommunication optical fiber ITU-T G.652, G.653, G.655, and G.657. This sensor was subjected to the commercialization process, which was carried out by a company combining the functionality of a technology transfer center with the capabilities of the Startit Fund Sp. z o.o. The published results included the analysis of the implementation readiness, the analysis of the market potential, the valuation of the industrial property rights of the invention and indicated further directions of scientific research on the sensor, which include the frequency analysis of measurement signals. This prompted the conduct of relevant scientific research. In this paper, the idea of measurement of current using polarimetric current sensor with optical fiber coil has been briefly characterized. It shows the definition and basic properties of the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). It discusses the technique of determining the value of each harmonic of signal at the input and output of polarimetric current sensor. The value of measurement errors and total harmonic distortion (THD) have been calculated. The general conclusions for disturbances in the processing realized in polarimetric current sensor have been formulated. In addition, the impact of the molar concentration of the dopant GeO2 in the core of the single mode telecommunication optical fibers and the impact of the number of turns of the measuring coil on the distortion accompanying the process of processing have been determined. Therefore, it can be concluded that the key result obtained during the research is the confirmation of the fact that single mode telecommunication optical fibers can be used to build the measuring coil of a polarimetric sensor used for measuring alternating currents. This means that the considered sensor, when measuring this type of currents, does not introduce additional distortions and distortions of their waveforms.

The paper describes the experimental stand and the results of studies of aberrations of the sources of a reference spherical wave (SRSW) based on a single-mode optical fiber with a sub-wave output aperture using the optical part of the recording system (OPRS). SRSW and OPRS are being developed for a referenceless interferometer with a diffraction reference wave. The technique to minimize measurement errors is described. Developed SRSW and OPRS provide subnanometer optics measurement accuracy. The possibilities of improving the accuracy of interferometer measurements to the picometer level are discussed.

Established methods for measurement of lattice spacings and angles of crystalline materials include x-ray diffraction, microdiffraction and HREM imaging. Structural information from HREM images is normally obtained off-line with the traveling table microscope or by the optical diffractogram technique. We present a new method for precise measurement of lattice vectors from HREM images using an on-line computer connected to the electron microscope. It has already been established that an image of crystalline material can be represented by a finite number of sinusoids. The amplitude and the phase of these sinusoids are affected by the microscope transfer characteristics, which are strongly influenced by the settings of defocus, astigmatism and beam alignment. However, the frequency of each sinusoid is solely a function of overall magnification and periodicities present in the specimen. After proper calibration of the overall magnification, lattice vectors can be measured unambiguously from HREM images.Measurement of lattice vectors is a statistical parameter estimation problem which is similar to amplitude, phase and frequency estimation of sinusoids in 1-dimensional signals as encountered, for example, in radar, sonar and telecommunications. It is important to properly model the observations, the systematic errors and the non-systematic errors. The observations are modelled as a sum of (2-dimensional) sinusoids. In the present study the components of the frequency vector of the sinusoids are the only parameters of interest. Non-systematic errors in recorded electron images are described as white Gaussian noise. The most important systematic error is geometric distortion. Lattice vectors are measured using a two step procedure. First a coarse search is obtained using a Fast Fourier Transform on an image section of interest. Prior to Fourier transformation the image section is multiplied with a window, which gradually falls off to zero at the edges. The user indicates interactively the periodicities of interest by selecting spots in the digital diffractogram. A fine search for each selected frequency is implemented using a bilinear interpolation, which is dependent on the window function. It is possible to refine the estimation even further using a non-linear least squares estimation. The first two steps provide the proper starting values for the numerical minimization (e.g. Gauss-Newton). This third step increases the precision with 30% to the highest theoretically attainable (Cramer and Rao Lower Bound). In the present studies we use a Gatan 622 TV camera attached to the JEM 4000EX electron microscope. Image analysis is implemented on a Micro VAX II computer equipped with a powerful array processor and real time image processing hardware. The typical precision, as defined by the standard deviation of the distribution of measurement errors, is found to be <0.003Å measured on single crystal silicon and <0.02Å measured on small (10-30Å) specimen areas. These values are ×10 times larger than predicted by theory. Furthermore, the measured precision is observed to be independent on signal-to-noise ratio (determined by the number of averaged TV frames). Obviously, the precision is restricted by geometric distortion mainly caused by the TV camera. For this reason, we are replacing the Gatan 622 TV camera with a modern high-grade CCD-based camera system. Such a system not only has negligible geometric distortion, but also high dynamic range (>10,000) and high resolution (1024x1024 pixels). The geometric distortion of the projector lenses can be measured, and corrected through re-sampling of the digitized image.

Certified reference materials (CRM) composed of propyl (11383-2019) and isopropyl (11384-2019) alcohols solutions were created for validation of measurement procedures and control of measurement errors of measurement results of mass concentrations of toxic substances (alcohol) in biological objects (urine, blood) and water. Two ways of establishing the value of the certified characteristic – mass consentration of propanol-1 or propanol-2 have been studied. The results obtained by the preparation procedure and comparison with the standard are the same within the margin of error.
