Two-dimensional mapping of surface scatterers on an optical fiber core using selective mode launching

open access: yesAPL Photonics, 2021
The tracking of small particles is an important but challenging task for biological applications such as disease diagnostics and medical research. Current methods are limited to the use of bulky instruments such as flow cytometers and microscopes.

An optical fiber hydrogen sensor using a palladium-coated ball lens [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A self-referenced optical fiber refractometer using a ball lens as a sensor head has been developed and characterized. A 350-μm ball lens created at the tip of a single mode fiber has been coated with a 40-nm optically thin layer of palladium that reacts

Fiber transport of spatially entangled photons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Entanglement in the spatial degrees of freedom of photons is an interesting resource for quantum information. For practical distribution of such entangled photons it is desireable to use an optical fiber, which in this case has to support multiple ...

Position sensitive radiation detector [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
An apparatus and method are disclosed for detecting and locating the origin of a gamma ray in a medical diagnostic imaging system. At least one primary fiber, which is a scintillating optical fiber, is positioned to receive radiation from a gamma ray ...

Refractive Index Sensing Using Helical Broken-Circular-Symmetry Core Microstructured Optical Fiber

open access: yesSensors, 2022
Helical twist provides an additional degree of freedom for controlling light in optical waveguides, expanding their applications in sensing. In this paper, we propose a helical broken-circular-symmetry core microstructured optical fiber for refractive ...

Strain sensing based on radiative emission-absorption mechanism using dye-doped polymer optical fiber [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A stress sensor based on a dye-doped polymeric optical fiber is able to detect stress by simple comparison of two luminescence peaks from a pair of energy transfer organic dyes. Coumarin 540A (donor) and Rhodamine 6G (acceptor) were doped in the core and
