Flexible electronics and particularly soft fibers and textiles are becoming key components in rapidly developing fields such as robotics, health and personal care, sensing, or implantable and wearable devices. Thus far however, the ability to impart soft ...
We report phase and amplitude measurements of large coherent structures originating from the noise-induced modulation instability in optical fibers. By using a specifically designed time-lens system (SEAHORSE) in which aberrations are compensated, the comp ...
Distributed temperature sensing with 10 dB back-reflection-enhanced fiber is performed based on φ-OTDR. While the temperature sensitivity of such fibers is similar to that of standard single-mode fibers, a 3-times higher temperature resolution is observed. ...
Standard multimode optical fibers normally support transmission over some 100 modes. Large differences in the propagation constant and the spatial distribution of distinct modes degrade the performance of phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry m ...
Resonant and non-resonant effects in few-mode fibers have found use in versatile devices. From sensing perspective, extensive research has been done on fringe sensitivity of nonresonant two-mode interference. Resonant mode converter gratings are promising ...
A novel fiber-interface directional waveguide coupler was inscribed on the surface of a coreless fiber by femtosecond laser, and was successfully applied to highly sensitive refractive index (RI) measurements. The primary arm was first inscribed to couple ...
The invention discloses systems and methods for generation of microfluidic jets providing a tool for very precise and localized delivery of e.g., medicaments. The proposed solution overcomes shortcomings related to miniaturization of a jet injection techno ...
Unlike traditional sensing schemes which rely on discrete point sensors that perform measurements at predetermined positions, distributed optical fiber sensing is a general technique that enables to continuously gather information (typically temperature an ...
How does one study the evolution of the Milky Way, or the expansion of the Universe, or explore the mysteries of Dark energy? To investigate these complex topics, astronomers require data, and a great deal of it, in the form of the spectra of stars, galaxi ...
We report a strong Brillouin amplification in gas using hollow-core fibers, exceeding by 6 times the gain in solid silica fibers. A novel fiber laser using Brillouin lasing in gas has been demonstrated. ...
