Fiber-optic sensors work well in tight spots and in applications with a high degree of electrical noise, but care must be taken when specifying these critical components. Sensing part presence in ...

Industrial sensors using fiber-optic cables often have a role sensing small targets or working under conditions that would hamper other types of sensors. Fiber-optic cables contain thin strands of ...

The inner circle classifies fiber sensors into ‘Macroscopical’ and ‘Microscopical’ according to the fiber dimension. The outer pie chart shows the classification according to the working principles.

In the pursuit of more efficient and low-cost designs, a growing number of batteries are turning to embedded fiber-optic sensors and machine learning to optimize battery charge. The Palo Alto Research ...
