Objective
The project aims to improve the quality and cost effectiveness of production processes by industrialising distance, displacement and velocity sensors using the self mixing interference in a laser diode. These contactless sensors present advantages in cost and bulk over most of conventional devices. They can be used, whenever possible, during production, to spark off real time corrective actions. They are very suitable for machine tools, hostile environments (hot material, nuclear industry), micromechanics and electronics industry, and more generally, for reliability of production systems, quality control of materials (composite materials, for example), preventive maintenance, aircraft and vehicle design. A major application of the displacement sensor is to help reduce noise for better working conditions. By designing and producing these sensors, the SME proposers will improve their stature as measurement and testing specialists and generate for themselves a wide range of new potential customers. For this purpose, the main tasks are: . the characterisation of the optical sources with feedback . the reduction of the influence of the speckle . the design of prototypes . the adaptation to specific applications according to end user demands. Other industries can benefit indirectly from this project by having access to low cost sensors, very competitive in terms of resolution, to reduce the cost of non destructive testing in order to improve the quality of production processes.
