A transverse loading technique to enhance the pressure measurement capability of fibre Bragg gratings [PDF]

, 2008
A fibre optic pressure sensor based on the application of a transverse load onto an epoxy-resin material embedded over a sub-section of a fibre Bragg grating (FBG) is presented.

On‐Chip Saturated Absorption of CO2 in a Silicon‐on‐Sapphire Waveguide

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
We demonstrate the first saturated absorption of a molecular gas on a planar photonic chip. By coupling carbon dioxide with the tightly confined light of a silicon‐on‐sapphire waveguide, we achieve optical saturation using only milliwatt powers. This breakthrough provides a practical, low‐power foundation for creating ultra‐compact mid‐infrared ...

Intrinsic, multiplexable sensors for electric field strength using structural slow light in phase-shifted fibre Bragg gratings [PDF]

, 2012
In this paper we demonstrate through simulation the potential for phase-shifted fibre Bragg gratings incorporating structural slow light to enable intrinsic reflection-mode point sensors for electric field or voltage.

Plasmonic Optical Fiber-Grating Immunosensing: A Review

Sensors, 2017
Plasmonic immunosensors are usually made of a noble metal (in the form of a film or nanoparticles) on which bioreceptors are grafted to sense analytes based on the antibody/antigen or other affinity mechanism.

Waveguide Geometry–Driven Trade‐Offs in Resonant Cavity Sensor Performance

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Waveguide geometry governs the interplay between sensitivity, intrinsic Q‐factor, and wavelength noise in silicon nitride resonant sensors. Contrary to intuition, higher sensitivity does not ensure superior performance. Low‐noise, high‐Q ridge resonators achieve the lowest detection limits, revealing that detection is ultimately constrained by noise ...

Writing Bragg Gratings in Multicore Fibers [PDF]

Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2016
Fiber Bragg gratings in multicore fibers can be used as compact and robust filters in astronomical and other research and commercial applications. Strong suppression at a single wavelength requires that all cores have matching transmission profiles. These gratings cannot be inscribed using the same method as for single-core fibers because the curved ...

From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify

Manufacturing and Spectral Features of Different Types of Long Period Fiber Gratings: Phase-Shifted, Turn-Around Point, Internally Tilted, and Pseudo-Random

Fibers, 2017
The manufacturing and spectral features of different types of long period fiber gratings (LPFGs), ranging from phase-shifted, turn-around point, and internally tilted gratings, to pseudo-random gratings, are described and discussed in detail.
