In the present paper the development of a semi-automated device for long-term monitoring of gaseous ammonia is described. A sensor material was produced that changes its optical properties in the pres-ence of low concentrations of ammonia in air. The implementation into an electronic device enables precise, simple, economic and fast monitoring of low concentrations of harmful gases, like ammonia, and hence can help to improve the climate monitoring in livestock housing, barns or stables.

Additive Manufacturing (AM) becomes widespread in many technological fields including the precise machining of steel. To assure quality of final products, thorough monitoring of online process is required. We test several monitoring techniques during the AM printing to quickly detect and possibly correct flaws while building a workpiece. Here we show how optical emission spectroscopy can be used to recognize defects that are artificially introduced on a steel printing substrate.
The present paper describes the development of a sensor material that changes its fluorescence in the presence of gaseous ammonia in a relevant concentration range. The implementation into a semi-automatic gas measurement device enables low-cost, precise, simple and fast monitoring of low con-centrations of harmful gases, like ammonia, and hence can help to improve the climate monitoring in livestock housing, barns or stables.
This paper describes the development of a semi-automatic gas measurement device presenting potentially a broad range of applications, noteworthy in the agricultural sector. Non-reversible fluorescent molecular sensors were designed and syn-thesized. Upon, integration into a hydrogel matrix with an optimal ratio of co-solvents, the sensors reacting selectively to ammonia were illuminated by excitation light to produce a concentration-correlated fluorescence emission. An automated mechanical-elec-trical device initiates a given gas mixture and thus simulates con-centrations similar to a threshold value. The aim of this project is to develop a sensor or a low-cost method which can monitor low concentrations of harmful gases and aid in their elimination or regulation in livestock housing, barns or stables.
The dynamics of laser-induced plasma plume splitting is investigated using spatiotemporal plasma imaging and spectrometry in this paper. Plasma plume splitting into fast and slow components is clearly observed using plasma optical emission as time evolves. The spatial resolved plasma spectra are used to investigate the plasma species distribution, which reveals that the charged copper ions, which radiate at wavelength range 485 nm - 504 nm, are merely present in the fast component. In order to further interpret the mechanism, the pressure-dependent and laser energy-dependent plume splitting are analyzed. Based on the results, the charge separation field is proposed to explain this phenomenon. This work can be of importance for such areas as laser induced breakdown spectroscopy, laser-induced ion source formation, pulse laser deposition, film growth, and nanoscale synthesis.
Spatial heterodyne spectroscopy (SHS) is used for quantitative analysis and classification of liquid samples. SHS is a version of a Michelson interferometer with no moving parts and with diffraction gratings in place of mirrors. The instrument converts frequency-resolved information into spatially resolved one and records it in the form of interferograms. The back-extraction of spectral information is done by the Fast Fourier transform. A SHS instrument is constructed with the resolving power 5000 and spectral range 522 - 593 nm. Two original technical solutions are used as compared to previous SHS instruments: the use of a high frequency diode pumped solid state (DPSS) laser for excitation of Raman spectra and a microscope-based collection system. Raman spectra are excited at 532 nm at the repetition rate 80 kHz. Raman shifts between 330 cm-1 and 1600 cm-1 are measured. A new application of SHS is demonstrated: for the first time it is used for quantitative Raman analysis to determine concentrations of cyclohexane in isopropanol and glycerol in water. Two calibration strategies are employed: univariate based on the construction of a calibration plot and multivariate based on partial least square regression (PLSR). The detection limits for both cyclohexane in isopropanol and glycerol in water are at a 0.5 mass% level. In addition to the Raman-SHS chemical analysis, classification of industrial oils (biodiesel, poly(1-decene), gasoline, heavy oil IFO380, polybutenes, and lubricant) is performed using their Raman-fluorescence spectra and principal component analysis (PCA). The oils are easily discriminated as they show distinct non-overlapping patterns in the space of principal components.
While sensors for monitoring the energy source, the melt pool size or temperatures during the process of metal-based Additive Manufacturing (AM) systems are commercially available, the impact of their results on the part quality are often unclear. In the BAM project ProMoAM, results of different process monitoring techniques are combined to achieve quality assurance for the produced parts during the build. Here, first results of simultaneous measurements of optical emission spectroscopy and thermography during the laser metal deposition process using 316L are presented.
Contamination of natural bodies of water with oil and lubricants (or generally, hydrocarbon derivatives such as petrol, fuel and others) is a commonly found phenomenon around the world due to the extensive production, transfer and use of fossil fuels. The timely identification of these contaminants is of utmost importance, since they directly affect water quality and represent a risk for wildlife and human health even in trace amounts.
In this work, we develop a simple system for the on-field detection of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in water and soil, the "Spectrocube". The test is based on the measurement of the fluorescence signal emitted by the molecular rotor 4-DNS-OH dye. This dye is embedded in a hydrophobic polymeric matrix (PVDF), avoiding interactions of water with the dye and providing a robust support for use in test-strip fashion. The test-strip’s fluorescence intensity increases linearly at low concentrations of TPH, reaching a saturation value at higher concentrations.
For excitation and evaluation of the test-strip fluorescence, a simple miniature optical system was designed. The system works semi-quantitatively as solvent-free TPH detection kit, as well as quantitatively when using a simple cyclopentane extraction step. To simplify the fluorescence read-out, the device is coupled to a tablet computer via Bluetooth, running a self-programmed software ("app").
