ABSTRACT:
A solid state moisture gauge is disclosed in which a quartz-halogen bulb is used with an acousto-optic tunable filter to launch light of specific desired wavelengths into a parallel plate cavity device which contains or is adjacent to material having a moisture content which is to be measured. The light exiting from the parallel plate device is detected, converted to a digital signal and then stored in a computer for later comparison to the detection of light exiting from the parallel plate device of a different wavelength.
