Jason Kapit; Farr, Norman; Schmitt, Raymond, 2025, "A Refractometer for Measuring Thermohaline Density Microstructure in the Ocean", https://doi.org/10.26027/DATAVI1X45, MBLWHOI Library Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:epQsmNnadTTL3W7CWhGEyA== [fileUNF]
Here we report an optical sensor for measuring millimeter-scale thermohaline density variations in the ocean. The instrument is based on a fiber Fabry-Perot white light interferometer which can resolve the refractive index of water to better than 2 x 10-8 within a sample volume smaller than 1 mm3 at a sample rate of 500 Hz. This equates to detectab... |

Jason Kapit; Youngs, Sarah; Pardis, William A.; Padilla, Alexandra M.; Michel, Anna, 2025, "An Underwater Methane Sensor Based on Laser Spectroscopy in a Hollow Core Optical Fiber", https://doi.org/10.26027/DATAPTD8ZF, MBLWHOI Library Dataverse, V1, UNF:6:S+yqkS17186lU0QS3EbOOA== [fileUNF]
Existing sensors for measuring dissolved methane in situ suffer from excessively slow response times or large size and complexity. The technology reported here realizes improvements by utilizing a hollow core optical fiber (HFC) as the detection cell in an underwater infrared laser spectrometer. The sensor operates by using a polymer membrane inlet... |
