Fiber Optics in Explosive Functioning-Time Measurement

TLDR
In this article, a technique based on the use of fiber optics in conjunction with an optical sensor and amplifier is described for detecting the first indication of light output after the application of a stimulus.
Abstract
Functioning time of an explosive device can be defined as the first indication of light output after the application of a stimulus. A technique based on the use of fiber optics in conjunction with an optical sensor and amplifier is described.

An Integrating Digital Light Meter

TL;DR: In this article, a light-to-frequency converter circuit was proposed which makes possible a simple digital light meter using conventional frequency counting techniques, which combines the principle of timeintegration, the high stability of reverse biased silicon planar photodiodes, and first order dark current compensation to yield a potentially 0.1 percent accuracy light meter.
