We designed an optic fiber oxygen sensor based on DEB laser wavelength scanning and spectrum absorption technique. With the use of the optical fiber links between monitor and sensor header, the system can provide remote and online monitor information. Since the sensor head is made without any active electrical components, it is intrinsically safe when used in the hazard environment such as coal mines. The oxygen sensor works in... 

The polarization of a medium and the optieal eleetrie field applied to it are linked by the material s suseeptibility X, a tensor quantity. In the previous seetion we eonsidered the limit of small optical fields, where the suseeptibility is a function of the dielectric constants only and is independent of the field. In this case the polarization vector P is related to the optical electric field E by the expression... 

By adjusting magnetic and electric fields in the ion optics (see Chapters 33 and 34 on linked scanning), metastable ions can be investigated. 

In addition to the wet and optical spectrometric methods, which are often used to analyse elements present in very small proportions, there are also other techniques which can only be mentioned here. One is the method of mass spectrometry, in which the proportions of separate isotopes can be measured this can be linked to an instrument called a field-ion microscope, in which as we have seen individual atoms can be observed on a very sharp hemispherical needle tip through the mechanical action of a very intense electric field. Atoms which have been ionised and detached can then be analysed for isotopic mass. This has become a powerful device for both curiosity-driven and applied research. 

Owing to their unique (tunable-electronic) properties, semiconductor (quantum dots) nanocrystals have generated considerable interest for optical DNA detection [12], Recent activity has demonstrated the utility of quantum dot nanoparticles for enhanced electrical DNA detection [33, 34, 50], Willner et al. reported on a photoelectrochemical transduction of DNA sensing events in connection with DNA cross-linked CdS nanoparticle arrays [50], The electrostatic binding of the Ru(NH3)63+ electron acceptor to the dsDNA...
