Canada is a major player in the field of optical research and photonics. The guitar is the product of a research program led by Dr. Hans Peter Loock, professor of chemistry at Queen’s University. It is the product of research by Loock and his associates into a form of optical sensor called a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG). FBGs were first demonstrated by Kenneth O. Hill, a physicist at the Communications Research Centre (CRC) in Ottawa. The technology was patented by CRC, which continues to licence the technology to manufacturers. The photonic pickups in the guitar were manufactured by QPS Photronics Inc of Montreal, which manufacturer a range of photonic products for industry. The guitar body was designed and constructed in Canada by Dagmar Custom Guitars. Dagmar Custom Guitars was founded by Pete Swanson, a wood craftsman who had formerly worked in the custom yacht industry. The company is based in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. Swanson met Hans-Peter Loock as a result of his appearance at the Montreal Guitar Show in 2009 or 2010. His construction of the guitar for Loock was featured on the Discovery Channel. Le Canada est un grand contributeur dans le champ de recherche optique et photonique. La guitare est un produit du programme de recherche dirigé par Hans-Peter Loock, professeur de chimie à l'Université Queens. La guitare est le résultat de la recherche entreprise par Loock et ses partenaires dans une forme capteure optique nommée Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG). Les FBGs étaient introduit par Kenneth Hill, un physicien au Centre de recherches sur les communications Canada à Ottawa. Cette technologie a reçu un brevet par le CRC. Les micros photoniques dans la guitar ont été produites par QPS Photronics Inc basée à Montréal, qui produit une variété de produit photonique dans cette industrie. Le corps de la guitar a été conçu et construit au Canada par Dagmar Customs Guitars. Cette compagnie a été fondée par Pete Swanson, un artisan de bois qui travaillait auparavant dans l'industrie des yachts personnalisés. La compagnie est basée à Niagara-on-the-Lake en Ontario. Swanson a rencontré Hans-Peter Loock grâce à son apparence à la convention de guitar à Montréal en 2009/2010. La construction de la guitar a été mise en vedette sur le Discovery Channel.
Function
To help support and keep the guitar upright when not in use. Pour soutenir la guitare et la garder droite.
Technical
For three decades, Canadian scientists have been leaders in developing fibre optic devices to sense temperature, mechanical strain and vibration. In 1978, Kenneth Hill was the first to demonstrate photosensitivity in optical fibres and to develop the fibre bragg grating (FBG). According to Hans-Peter Loock, construction of “Vicky” was not yet complete when he and his colleagues moved on from the low reflectivity FBG-FP cavity to the high reflectivity FBG-FP cavity, and “Vicky” was therefore never used in the experiments described in his publications. It does, however, represent a number of important elements of his research. First, it represents his use of musical instruments to test and refine the performance of optical audio sensors, both due to requirements of high fidelity musical reproduction and the ability to monitor sound performance and noise sources qualitatively with the human ear. Second, it represents the evolution of his research through the shift from simple FBGs to FBG-FP cavities. Finally, it embodies the research finding that varying the position of the sensor on the guitar body alters the sound output of the transducer system. Like all Dagmar instruments, “Vicky” features an innovative and unusual construction method that is intended to maximize free vibration of the sitka spruce soundboard. Pour trois décennies, des scientifiques canadiens sont à l'avant-plan dans le développement d'appareil à fibre optique pour détecter la température, les contraintes mécaniques et les vibrations. En 1978, Kenneth Hill était le premier à démontrer la photo-sensibilité dans les fibres optiques et développer les FBGs. Selon Hans-Peter Loock, la construction de "Vicky" était incomplète lorsque lui et ses collègues ont changé leur concentration de FBG-FP en faible réflectivité au FBG-FP en haute réflectivité. D'abord, Vicky n'a pas été utilisé dans les expériences décrites dans les publication de Loock. Par contre, la guitare représente quelques éléments importants de recherche. Premièrement, il représente l'utilisation d'instrument de musique pour tester la performance des capteurs audio optiques. Deuxièmement, il représente l'évolution de sa recherche entre les simples FBGs au FBG-FB. Finalement, il représente la recherche la variation de la position du capteur sur le corps de la guitare qui modifie la sortie sonore du système. Comme tous les instruments Dagmar, Vicky démontre une construction non-commune mais innovante qui a pour but de maximiser les vibrations de la table d'harmonie.
