Abstract The temperature-dependent light
scattering properties of cholesteric liquid
crystals are used as both the sensing and indicating mechanism in the
formation of a passive method for monitoring non-ionizing radiation. All the monitor needs for operation is ambient light and
the radiation to be measured. Radiation and thermal response characteristics
are given for tests at 2.45 GHz and power density levels from 1 to 15 mW/cm². The effects of different design and
fabrication methods on the operation of the monitor are also presented. |
