Photoresponsive biomaterials are experiencing a transition from in vitro models to in vivo
demonstrations that point toward clinical translation. Dynamic hydrogels for cell …

Epilepsy is a chronic, neurological disorder affecting millions of people every year. The
current available pharmacological and surgical treatments are lacking in overall efficacy and …

Polymer optical fibers (POFs) have been regarded as a viable alternative to silica fibers in a
variety of sensing applications. Fiber optic sensors offer key advantages over other sensing …

The article presents the operation of the first in the world fully functional multi-planar, ready-
to-use bright-field microscope equipped with a laser induced thermal lens. Also, for the first …

We propose and demonstrate an approach for 10 kHz to 34 MHz ultrasound detection based
on a dual-core As 2 Se 3-PMMA taper. We fabricate dual-core As 2 Se 3-PMMA tapers with …

The annealing effects on strain and stress sensitivity of polymer optical fibre Bragg grating
sensors after their photoinscription are investigated. PMMA optical fibre based Bragg grating …

We discuss two algorithms to determine the value and the radial profile of the photoelastic
coefficient C in glass and polymer optical fibers. We conclude that C is constant over the …

We have fabricated a composite optical fiber with hyperelastic silicone cladding and silica
core, and demonstrated a simple and highly sensitive pressure sensor based on the light …

This work reports on the use of an in-series silica and polymer fiber Bragg grating (FBG) to
control the FBG strain sensitivities and enhance in the case of the polymer fiber Bragg …

Fabry-Pérot ultrasound sensors offer an alternative to traditional piezoelectric sensors for
clinical and metrological applications, for example, measuring high intensity focused …
