In-service structural health monitoring of composite aircraft structures plays a key role in the
assessment of their performance and integrity. In recent years, Fibre Optic Sensors (FOS) …

The use of sensors in the real world is on the rise, providing information on medical
diagnostics for healthcare and improving quality of life. Optical fiber sensors, as a result of …

An optical fiber temperature and strain fiber sensor based on the few-mode fiber (FMF) and
the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is proposed and demonstrated. The sensor unit is fabricated by …

We show that a sensor scheme consisting of a combination of a polymer fibre Bragg grating
and a silica fibre Bragg grating gives large discrimination against temperature and strain. It …

Using a selective hole closure technique, individual hollow channels in silica-air photonic
crystal fibers are filled with pure Ge by pum** in molten material at high pressure. The …

In this paper, the mode coupling mechanism of tilted fiber Bragg gratings (TFBGs) is briefly
introduced at first. And a general review on the fabrication, theoretical and experimental …

The last decade has seen rapid developments in the areas of carbon fiber technology,
additive manufacturing technology, sensor engineering, ie, wearables, and new structural …

The use of nanoparticles (NPs) in scientific applications has attracted the attention of many
researchers in the last few years. The use of NPs can help researchers to tune the physical …

A multimode microfiber (MMMF)-based dual Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) is
proposed and demonstrated for simultaneous measurement of refractive index (RI) and …

A compact Fano resonance temperature sensor is proposed in this paper. The sensor
consists of two metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguides and a side-coupled …
