Fluorescence Information Processing Based on Wavelet De-Noising

Abstract:

In this paper ,the method of the fluorescence lifetime (FL) in fluorescence optical fiber temperature sensor is used to measure the temperature. During the fluorescence information processing , because of existence of the system noise interference, measurement reliability of fluorescence lifetime has been greatly affected, thereby reducing the temperature measurement precision. This paper presents an improved wavelet threshold de-noising method to signal processing, which improves the signal-to-noise ratio and increases the measurement of fluorescence lifetime precision, reduce the error of temperature measurements at the same time. The experimental results demonstrate that this method is effective.
