First a few words about the genesis of this review, which is alreadythe third on this subject in
this series (Al, A2). I tried to preserve as much as possible of the scope and the format of the …

A fibre-optic evanescent field absorption sensor based on a U-shaped sensing probe is
described. The influences of fibre core diameter, bending radius of the probe and the …

A comparative experimental study of the fiber-optic evanescent field absorption sensor
based on straight and U-shaped probes is presented. The effects of numerical aperture and …

The deployment of optical fibre based sensor systems for process monitoring of advanced
fibre reinforced organic matrix composites is reviewed. The focus is on thermosetting resins …

Photonics has been extensively exploited in the visible and near-infrared spectral ranges.
Sensing of liquids and gases is a promising area for advancing of the photonics also in the …

A comparative study of the fiber-optic evanescent field absorption sensors based on
parabolic, linear, and exponential-linear taper profiles has been carried out. The …

A comparative study of evanescent-wave fiber-optic absorption sensors based on uniform
and tapered fibers has been carried out. The expressions for an effective evanescent …

PbS–Al 2 O 3 nanocomposites were prepared by a single step sol–gel method starting from
lead acetate, thiourea and aluminium isopropoxide. The crystallinity, shape of crystallites …

This article presents a review of optical-fiber-based process-monitoring techniques that can
be used to track the chemical reactions that take place during the processing of materials …

This article presents a review of the optical and mechanical properties of infrared
transmitting fibers extruded from single crystals of silver-halides at the Applied Physics …
