Novel Fiber Optic Accelerometer System Using Geometric Moiré Fringe [PDF]
This paper presents an innovative fiber optic accelerometer system for monitoring vibration of large-size structures. The system is composed of one (or multiple) sensor head and a control unit for driving the sensor and processing sensor data.

We develop a one‐step spray coating approach to coat the fluorinated graphene (FG) nanosheet onto the N95 respirators. The spray‐coated superhydrophobic N95 respirators can effectively repel respiratory droplets off instantaneously and prevent SARS‐CoV‐2 virus accumulation on the surface.

A Partial Discharge Detection Approach in Distribution Cabinets Using a Mach–Zehnder Interferometer
Distribution cabinets are of paramount importance in power supply systems. Internal partial discharge may result in power interruption or even the outbreak of fire.

Micro-displacement sensors based on plastic photonic bandgap Bragg fibers [PDF]
We demonstrate an amplitude-based micro-displacement sensor that uses a plastic photonic bandgap Bragg fiber with one end coated with a silver layer. The reflection intensity of the Bragg fiber is characterized in response to different displacements (or bending curvatures).

Optical Fiber-Based Needle Shape Sensing in Real Tissue: Single Core vs. Multicore Approaches [PDF]
Flexible needle insertion procedures are common for minimally-invasive surgeries for diagnosing and treating prostate cancer. Bevel-tip needles provide physicians the capability to steer the needle during long insertions to avoid vital anatomical structures in the patient and reduce post-operative patient discomfort.

Periodic submicron features are fabricated on 304 stainless steel using single and double femtosecond laser pulses. By adjusting polarization, fluence, and inter‐pulse delay, 1D and 2D nanostructures are formed. Enhanced hydrophobicity and dense surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy hotspots enable analyte detection down to 10−10 M with good ...

New multiplexing scheme for monitoring fiber optic Bragg grating sensors in the coherence domain
A new multiplexing scheme for monitoring fiber optic Bragg gratings in the coherence domain has been developed. Grating pairs with different grating distances are distributed along a fiber line, and interference between their reflections is monitored ...

In-Vivo Evaluation of a Fiber-Optic Splanchnic Photoplethysmographic Sensor during Open Laparotomy [PDF]
There is a need for a reliable and continuous monitoring of abdominal organ oxygen saturation (SpO2). Splanchnic ischemia may ultimately lead to cellular hypoxia and necrosis and may well contribute to the development of multiple organ failures and ...

Liquid-core low-refractive-index-contrast Bragg fiber sensor [PDF]
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a low-refractive-index-contrast hollow-core Bragg fiber sensor for liquid analyte refractive index detection. The sensor operates using a resonant sensing principle- when the refractive index of a liquid analyte in the fiber core changes, the resonant confinement of the fiber guided mode will also change ...
