We propose a new detection method of a 2-dimensional pH image to measure the pH distribution of test materials by illuminating a frequency modulated light to LAPS using a chopping wheel. It could simultaneously measure signals in one line by applying a modulated light with a different frequency for each pixel, using a chopping wheel for modulating the frequency, and calculating an amplitude with respect to a frequency component by the light source. To test the proposed method, we implement a chopping wheel in consideration of a LAPS's characteristic, and reconstructed an image by frequency analysis using the implemented chopping wheel and 4 mm test pattern image. As a result, we verified that the proposed method using the chopping wheel was able to detect 30 times faster a 3030 pixels pH image having a PSNR more than 22 dB above the conventional method.

An effective compensation method for the IR lamp deterioration in NDIR (non-dispersive infrared) capnograph system is proposed. The optical chamber with two IR (infrared) lamps has been designed newly and an electronic hardware for the control of lamp intensity has been implemented. After applying the proposed optical chamber and the reference lamp control circuit to the NDIR type capnograph system, it is identified that the proposed method can compensate the lamp deterioration effectively.
