Piezoelectric, piezoresistive, and optical fiber sensors have attracted considerable attention
in structural health monitoring (SHM) applications for strain/temperature measurements in …

The fabrication, characterization and encapsulation of a fiber optic temperature sensor
based upon a micro Fabry–Perot (FP) cavity is presented. The FP cavity is formed between a …

Force sensing is an essential requirement for dexterous robot manipulation. We describe
composite robot end-effectors that incorporate optical fibers for accurate force sensing and …

Force sensing is an essential requirement for dexterous robot manipulation. Although strain
gages have been widely used, a new sensing approach is desirable for applications that …

In this paper we derived an expression that allows the determination of the thermo-optic
coefficient of weakly-guiding germanium-doped silica fibers, based on the thermal behavior …

A high-temperature gradient of a conventional tubular furnace is characterized using a
single-fiber sensing line with wavelength-multiplexed short-length-regenerated fiber Bragg …

We present a new type of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) that can be used in high-temperature
sensing applications. We use the flat side of a D-shaped optical fiber as a platform to etch …

Plasma Facing Components (PFC) temperature measurement is mandatory to ensure safe
high power and long pulse tokamak operation. IR thermography systems which are widely …

In many applications in the industry, securely attaching fiber optic sensors to metallic
structures is important for optimum monitoring, overcoming the limitations of glues and …

The temperature dependence of the Er 3+ green luminescence in Y 3 Ga 5 O 12 crystal
were analysed under ultraviolet and near-infrared laser excitations for optical sensing …
