Abstract

During
our studies it was found that during interaction of electromagnetic field with
matter, the irradiated body begins to generate an alternating electrical
signal. These results are grouped under the name Electromagnetic echo effect
(EMEE). The measured signal is a function of the state of the body. In the
present work, some of the new types of optical sensors created on that basis
are discussed. Such sensors are for control of: fog parameters, fog emergence,
impurity emergence in fog, processes at the threshold of laser ablation and
phase transitions in liquid crystals. Also, a scanning system has been
developed for visualization of irregularities on surfaces.
