Two-axis bend measurement with Bragg gratings in multicore optical fiber [PDF]
, 2003 We describe what is to our knowledge the first use of fiber Bragg gratings written into three separate cores of a multicore fiber for two-axis curvature measurement.

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 The trachea is a long tube that enables air passage between the larynx and the bronchi. C-shaped cartilage rings on the ventral side stabilise the structure. On its esophagus-facing dorsal side, deformable smooth muscle facilitates the passage of food in

3D Organisation of Cells in Pseudostratified Epithelia
Frontiers in Physics, 2022 Pseudostratified epithelia have smooth apical and basal surfaces, yet along the apical-basal axis, cells assume highly irregular shapes, which we introduce as punakoids. They interact dynamically with many more cells than visible at the surface. Here, we

Asymptotic analysis of Bragg fibers [PDF]
, 2000 Using an asymptotic analysis, we obtain an eigenvalue equation for the general mode dispersion in Bragg fibers. The asymptotic analysis is applied to calculate the dispersion relation and the field distribution of TE modes in a Bragg fiber.

Highly efficient hybrid fiber taper coupled microsphere laser [PDF]
, 2001 A novel hybrid fiber taper is proposed and demonstrated as the coupler in a microsphere laser system. The pump wave and the laser emission, respectively, are more efficiently coupled to and from the sphere modes with this taper structure. A 980-nm pumped

Democratizing deliberative systems [PDF]
, 2012 'Deliberative democracy' is often dismissed as a set of small-scale, academic experiments. This volume seeks to demonstrate how the deliberative ideal can work as a theory of democracy on a larger scale. It provides a new way of thinking about democratic
