Measuring the optical activity of the sucrose for the construction of an optical glucometer

A study of the optical activity of the sucrose is presented as a basis for the construction of an optical glucometer. It features an infrared laser diode whose emission passes through a water/sugar sample solution at different concentrations. In an elliptical representation, the results show that ci...

Sumario:A study of the optical activity of the sucrose is presented as a basis for the construction of an optical glucometer. It features an infrared laser diode whose emission passes through a water/sugar sample solution at different concentrations. In an elliptical representation, the results show that circular birefringence favors right circular polarization. Subsequent work aims at finding the behavior in blood samples.
