Modeling the Optical Scheme of a Position-Sensitive Luminescent Spark Sensor with a Spectral Radiation Converter

Abstract

A schematic diagram of position-sensitive luminescent spark sensors with a spectral radiation converter is considered. By using the sensor, it is possible to detect an electric spark by one or two spatial coordinates depending on the location of the ends of optical fibers. Numerical simulation and optimization of optical systems of position-sensitive luminescent spark sensors has been carried out. The efficiency and resolution of the optical system have been calculated.
