Patent number: 8228489Abstract: The present invention relates to a thermally compensated optical sensing system for identifying various types of liquid fuels and/or the ratio in liquid fuel mixtures on real time. In this system, an optical fiber is used as a light guide and a sensor device for determining the refractive index of liquid fuels through the principle of reflectivity. Starting from a light source, light is transmitted interiorly of the optical fiber to the test probe which is in contact with the fuel. The optical signal resulting from the interaction between light and fuel is a function of refractive indexes of the optical fiber and the fuel, the wavelength of light used, and the fuel temperature. The system proposed herein relates to the use of this optical system in liquid fuels by using optical fibers having suitable refractive indexes as a function of the fuel type and/or fuel mixture being analyzed, allowing the sensitivity of the optical system to be optimized according to application requirements.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2008Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: Universidade Estadual de Campinas—UnicampInventors: Carlos Kenichi Suzuki, Edmilton Gusken, Allan Caro Mercado, Eric Fujiwara, Eduardo Ono
