  • Gas turbine optical imaging system
    Patent number: 8416415
    Abstract: A method and system for recreating a two-dimensional distribution of temperatures in an exhaust plane of a gas turbine engine. Light transmission and detection pairs may be arranged in the annulus of the exhaust of the turbine engine in such a way that the individual rays form a two-dimensional mesh of beams across a sector of the exhaust. Based on the absorption of the rays, the temperature of the sector of the exhaust thru which the ray passes may be determined. Based on these determinations, an image that corresponds to the operation of the turbine engine may be generated.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 27, 2009
    Date of Patent: April 9, 2013
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Mark Allen Woodmansee, Samit Kumar Basu, Vijay Kumar Yaram, Weiguo Chen, Yikang Gu, Kevin Michael Hinckley
