Mode Couplers and Converters Based on Dual-Core Hollow-Core Photonic Bandgap Fiber
We propose mode couplers and converters based on dual-core hollow-core photonic bandgap fiber (HC-PBGF) structures, which might be potential solutions for integrated all-fiber multiplexers or demultiplexers of a mode-division multiplexed (MDM ...

Life Cycle Support for Sensor Network Applications [PDF]
Developing applications for sensor networks is a challenging task. Most programming systems narrowly focus on programming issues while ignoring that programming represents only a tiny fraction of the typical life cycle of an application.

Environmental sensor networks [PDF]
The developments in wireless network technology and miniaturization makes it possible to realistically monitor the natural environment. Within the field of environmental sensor networks, domain knowledge is an essential fourth component. Before designing and installing any system, it is necessary to understand its physical environment and deployment in

A biosensor based on a modified S-taper fiber for target protein detection
A biosensor based on a modified S-taper fiber was proposed and experimentally demonstrated for antigen detection. Antibody was immobilized over the activated S-taper waist, where the fiber detected the interaction between the antibody and target antigen.
