An optical sensor that measures hydraulic pressure in the landing gear of a commercial aeroplane has been developed by the UK-based company Druck. Based on low-coherence-light interferometry, the ...

Using their Mosquito fabrication method, the researchers created a fan-out pattern of multiple thin light paths inside a thin sheet of PDMS. This created four optical channels that could be used for ...

The FOP-F125 pressure sensor is the result of close collaboration with LEOSS, a Slovenian research group from the University of Maribor who has been working with FISO for the last three years. This ...

Researchers developed an extremely sensitive miniaturized optical fiber sensor that can measure small pressure changes. Adding a side hole that runs parallel to the fiber core enhanced the pressure ...

If the sensing application involveshigh temperatures or a very tight, almost inaccessible location, fiberoptic sensors could provide the answer. These sensors provide small,lightweight units that can ...

ICON (Intent-based and Context-aware Optical Networks) comprises an interdisciplinary team of photonics specialists developing sensor technologies that analyse changes in light travelling through ...

Traumatic brain injury is a major cause of death and disability. When a patient attends an A&E or neurocritical care unit with a head injury, one of the most important parameters to assess injury ...
