Roadmap on optical sensors. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Opt, 2023
Abstract Optical sensors and sensing technologies are playing a more and more important role in our modern world. From micro-probes to large devices used in such diverse areas like medical diagnosis, defence, monitoring of industrial and environmental conditions, optics can be used in a variety of ways to achieve compact, low cost, stand-

Sensor-Guided Optical Flow [PDF]

open access: yes2021 IEEE/CVF International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV), 2021
This paper proposes a framework to guide an optical flow network with external cues to achieve superior accuracy either on known or unseen domains. Given the availability of sparse yet accurate optical flow hints from an external source, these are injected to modulate the correlation scores computed by a state-of-the-art optical flow network and guide ...

Temperature and Humidity Sensitivity of Polymer Optical Fibre Sensors Tuned by Pre-Strain

open access: yesSensors, 2022
Polymer optical fibre Bragg grating (POFBG) sensors are of high interest due to their enhanced fracture toughness, flexibility in bending, and sensitivity in stress and pressure monitoring applications compared to silica-based sensors.

Roadmap on optical sensors [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Optics, 2017
Sensors are devices or systems able to detect, measure and convert magnitudes from any domain to an electrical one. Using light as a probe for optical sensing is one of the most efficient approaches for this purpose. The history of optical sensing using some methods based on absorbance, emissive and florescence properties date back to the 16th century.

Fiber-Optic Chemical Sensors and Fiber-Optic Bio-Sensors [PDF]

open access: yesSensors, 2015
This review summarizes principles and current stage of development of fiber-optic chemical sensors (FOCS) and biosensors (FOBS). Fiber optic sensor (FOS) systems use the ability of optical fibers (OF) to guide the light in the spectral range from ultraviolet (UV) (180 nm) up to middle infrared (IR) (10 μm) and modulation of guided light by the ...
