Microstructure Fibers (MFs) have received a lot of attention owing to the high nonlinearity that results from their very small effective core area. Consequently, all the nonlinear effects that are ...

The primary research interest covers a broad range of Fiber optics sensing techniques and optical sensors, devices, systems and signal processing. For more information on our current and past projects ...

It’s always interesting to see how scientists and engineers have exploited—in the positive sense of the word—somewhat obscure, fundamental physics principles to create innovative sensors. For example, ...

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 ...

Researchers have taken an important new step in advancing the performance of resonator fiber optic gyroscopes, a type of fiber optic sensor that senses rotation using only light. Because gyroscopes ...

WASHINGTON -- For the first time, researchers have fabricated sensing elements known as fiber Bragg gratings inside optical fibers designed to dissolve completely inside the body. The bioresorbable ...

A new easy-to-use optical fiber sensor achieves sensitive and real-time detection of extremely low levels of arsenic in water. WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a new optical sensor that ...
