Fiber optic fluorometry

Fiber-optic fluorometry. Fiber-optic waveguides provide excellent means for delivering excitation energy to fluorescing media in remote, hostile, or inaccessible environments (8) such as reactors and plant streams, and for guiding the emitted fluorescence to a detector or a spectrometer, thus facilitating in-situ monitoring of the resin fluorescence (5,6). In our case, the autoclave represents a hostile environment (350°F and 100 psl) which is inaccessible for optical measurements by conventional methods.
