| 20080230718 | Feedback control system - An optical sensor feedback control device is provided comprising a luminescent sensing film, an optical processor adjacent the sensing film capable of sinusoidally photoexciting the luminescent sensing film and detecting the luminescent emission resulting therefrom, and a control means in communication with the optical processor for control of the magnitude of the photoexcitation, to receive information regarding the luminescent emission resulting therefrom, and generation of an electrical signal for determination of the magnitude and phase shift of the luminescence relative to the photoexcitation. The device of the present invention further has an optical processor positioning means in communication with the control means and the optical processor for adjusting the physical position of the optical processor and/or light source in relation to the sensing film based on data received from the control means. In addition, a method of feedback control of an optical sensor is provided. | 09-25-2008 |
