    Abstract: A system and method for purifying an aqueous contaminated fluid from colloidal contaminants using a closed-loop feedback control system are disclosed. Contaminated fluid flows into a mixer and mixed with a purifying agent, such as diatomaceous earth, to facilitate metathesis reaction between the purifying agent and the contaminants. The purifying agent entraps the contaminants, and is subsequently removed in a separator into sediments. An estimation of the amount of the purifying agent to dispense is performed using pre-defined equations or look-up tables stored in the database, including relationship between the concentration of contaminants in the fluid and the concentration of the added purifying agent. An automated feedback control is applied to fine tune the purification process into compliance with regulations. High accuracy of measurements is ensured by selecting the same material for both the purifying agent and the trapping medium of analyzers, and additionally by the design of the analyzers.

    Abstract: A novel wavelength measurement method wherein an optical pulse is launched into a dispersive medium with known dispersion properties, such as a dispersion compensating fibre or a dispersion compensating Bragg grating. The specific wavelength of the dispersion-induced light beam is obtained by measuring the propagation time delay through the dispersive medium and relating that propagation time to the calibrated dispersive medium.

    Abstract: A communications network has a plurality of nodes interconnected by an optical transmission medium. The transmission medium is capable of a carrying a plurality of wavelengths organized into bands. A filter at each node for drops a band associated therewith and passively forwards other bands through the transmission medium. A device is provided at each node for adding a band to the transmission medium. Communication can be established directly between a pair of nodes in the network sharing a common band without the active intervention of any intervening node. This allows the network to be protocol independent. Also, the low losses incurred by the passive filters permit relatively long path lengths without optical amplification.

    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for demodulating, processing and multiplexing the signals from an array of structurally integrated Bragg grating laser sensors in an optoelectronic element in order that this sensing information can be transmitted from the structure by means of a single channel and a user friendly interconnect or free-space propagation. The invention also discloses a method for determining the wavelength of narrowband optical signals such as arises from Bragg grating laser sensors and includes, for each sensor, processing the optical signal through a spectral filter with a spectral transmission function that can be accurately translated by a control parameter which has been calibrated with respective to wavelength. The filtered signal is compared to the reference signal at different values of the control parameter to determine a value of the control parameter where a predetermined relationship of the spectrally filtered signal and the reference signal is achieved. This allows the wavelength to be determined. Apparatus for carrying out the method is also disclosed. A preferred embodiment involving the use of a multiple quantum well electroabsorption device to perform both spectral filtering and detection is also disclosed. The method and apparatus have particular application with lasers and laser sensing arrangements for smart structures.
