Designers of composites are learning that if they are to be able to guarantee component and system performance, repeatability and reliability, it is critical that they have access to more sensor and ...

For the first time, researchers have fabricated sensing elements known as fiber Bragg gratings inside optical fibers designed to dissolve completely inside the body. For the first time, researchers ...

Despite their prevalent use in patient treatment, to many, using lasers as surgical tools can seem like something out of science fiction. However, laser-assisted surgery is now a reality and marks a ...

Got cold feet about measuring temperature? If you're not sure which type of sensor is the proper choice for the application at hand, you're not alone. Here we review the main categories of temperature ...

Chiral Photonics Helica™ 1000C sensor is a monolithic glass fiber and is as stable as the silica glass. Not reliant on moving parts or coatings and the packaging is tailored to suit applications.

Fiber optic sensors - used in critical applications like detecting fires in tunnels, pinpointing leaks in pipelines and predicting landslides - are about to get even faster and more accurate. EPFL ...

Williamson Corporation's Pro 100 and Pro 200 Series multi-wavelength infrared temperature sensors are ideal for a multitude of industrial applications where devices such as thermocouples and RTDs ...

A heterodyne interferometry system with a fiber-optic sensor was developed to measure the temperature history of unburned gas in an engine cylinder. A polarization-preserving fiber and metal mirror ...
