A theoretical model of wavelength modulation spectroscopy that uses a laser diode on a Lorentzian absorption line is presented. This theory describes the general case of a current-modulated semiconductor laser for which a combined intensity and frequency m ...
Thermo-optical and electro-optical (plasma dispersion) effects for silicon based integrated optical modulators are becoming attractive and effective solutions for telecommunications applications such as switching for programmable optical add-drop multiplex ...
In this paper we will present the Brillouin scattering properties of optical fibres as experimentally measured at ultra-low temperatures and discuss the possibilities for distributed cryogenic temperature sensing, accordingly. We then present a first examp ...
Osteoarthritis is the most frequent joint pathology throughout the world. Obtaining objective, dynamic and quantified data allowing the evaluation of patients’ progress before and after hip arthroplasty is crucial. Gait analysis can be used for evaluating ...
A new nondestructive method for measuring the spatial distribution of chromatic dispersion along an optical fiber is presented. It is based on using Brillouin optical time-domain analysis to probe the power distribution of the four-wave mixing generated by ...
Spectroscopic measurements on ethylene were performed using a quasi-room-temperature quantum cascade (QC) laser operated in pulsed mode in the 10.3 μm range. Using transmission spectroscopy, a broadening of the ethylene absorption spectrum was observed wit ...

Spatial and temporal parameters of gait have clinical relevance in the assessment of motor pathologies, particularly in orthopaedics. A new gait analysis system is proposed which consists of (a) an ambulatory device (Physilog(R)) including a set of miniatu ...

A new method of physical activity monitoring is presented, which is able to detect body postures (sitting, standing, and lying) and periods of walking in elderly persons using only one kinematic sensor attached to the chest. The wavelet transform, in conju ...

In this study we describe an ambulatory system for estimation of spatio-temporal parameters during long periods of walking. This original method based on wavelet analysis is proposed to compute the values of temporal gait parameters from the angular veloci ...
A new method for chromatic dispersion mapping in optical fibers is presented. It is based on measuring the CW four-wave mixing distribution created by two beams along the fiber using a Brillouin-OTDA. Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the ...
