December 2016

The Elliot Scientific December 2016 Newsletter: In this issue we cover the new range of Vibrating Sample Magnetometers designed by Lake Shore Cryotronics for materials characterisation science, look at the latest laser filters from eye protection specialist NoIR LaserShields, and find out about distributed temperature and stress measurement with Nufern's speciality fibre-optics and Brillouin Optical Time Domain Reflectometry from OZ Optics.

New Vibrating Sample Magnetometers from Lake Shore Cryotronics

From 2017, Lake Shore's new 8600 VSM will be the most sensitive commercial instrument available

Lake Shore's new entry-level 7400-S VSM features variable gap electromagnets providing field strengths up to 3.42 T

The new 8600 Series VSM from Lake Shore Cryotronics raises the bar for magnetometer performance and convenience by combining high sensitivity, rapid measurement speeds, and ease of operation for faster and more accurate measurements.

The entire 8600 Series system has been conceived with a focus on a clean, ergonomic design that simplifies the researcher's interaction with the system. For example, a motorised head brings the sample to a comfortable height for easy, one-handed exchange of the sample rods.

Temperature options include a cryostat, high-temperature oven, and single stage variable temperature insert. The combined temperature range of the options is 4.2 to 1273 K, and all three options quickly slide into place and are auto-detected by the system's software - video demonstration.

8600 Series Features

  • 0.33 x 10-7 emu noise floor at 10 sec/point
  • 10 ms/pt data acquisition rate
  • 5000 Oe/s field ramp rate
  • Rapid, repeatable temperature option exchange
  • High stability of ±0.05% per day
  • Fields to 3.26 T
  • Widest temperature range: 4.2 K to 1273 K

The magnet poles are also easily adjusted with a specially designed indexed positioning system that allows the pole gap to be set at one of six repeatable positions, eliminating the need to recalibrate after each change.

7400-S Series

Available in three different variable gap electromagnet configurations providing fields up to 3.42 T, Lake Shore's new entry-level systems are sensitive, low-noise floor electromagnet-based VSMs that feature a broad temperature range capability of -269 to 1000 °C. Able to measure a wide range of sample types, the 7400-S is an ideal tool for materials research applications or magnetic material quality control.

An assortment of options, including low temperature cryostats, a high temperature oven, a single stage variable temperature assembly, vector coils, autorotation, and an MR probe can expand the system's functionality.

NuSENSOR™ fibres are available with Polyimide, Carbon/Acrylate, or Carbon/Polyimide sheathing

Nufern products

The NuSENSOR™ product line, from Nufern, features graded index multimode (MM) fibres designed for Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS), and single-mode (SM) fibres designed for Distributed Temperature and Strain Sensing (DTSS) and Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) based sensors. Both the MM and SM fibres are available with polyimide coverings and either pure silica or germanium doped core glass compositions.

Nufern also offers these fibres with composite coatings: carbon/acrylate for temperatures up to 150 °C, or carbon/polyimide for up to 300 °C, making them also ideal for H2 rich environments. Details about the NuSENSOR™ range can be obtained by contacting us.


Brillouin Optical Time Domain Reflectometry advances Foresight™ from OZ Optics

BOTDR system

OZ Optics Logo

DSTS applications

The addition of BOTDR (Brillouin Optical Time Domain Reflectometry) single-ended fibre measurement to the Foresight Distributed Strain and Temperature Sensor (DSTS) from OZ Optics has given the company a strategic lead in construction, energy, and security applications.

Utilising Brillouin scattering in an optical fibre, the system can simultaneously sense changes in both temperature and strain along the length of a simple fibre, or the rapid detection and location of a major disturbance within a second, up to 70 km away.

  • Live measurement of strain and temperature
  • BOTDA and OTDR, and/or BOTDR
  • Fibre configuration:
    • Loop - Up to 100 km round trip
    • Single-ended - Up to 70 km
  • Multiple channel monitoring
  • Real-time fault point detection
  • High spatial strain and temperature resolution

For more information about Foresight™ and BOTDR, download the datasheet, or contact us directly.
