Design and Evaluation of Modular Gas and Wind Sensing Nodes for Static and Mobile Deployments

Alcherio Martinoli, Emmanuel Droz, Wanting Jin

Static and mobile sensor nodes can be employed in gas monitoring tasks to detect gas leaks in an early stage and localize gas sources. Due to the intermittent nature of gas plumes and the slow dynamics of commonly used gas sensors, measuring gas concentrat ...

Study of backward Brillouin scattering in gas-filled anti-resonant fibers

Luc Thévenaz, Malak Mohamed Hossameldeen Omar Mohamed Galal, Li Zhang

Brillouin scattering in gas shows unmatched gain properties in hollow-core optical fibers filled at high pressure. Here, the gain characteristics are studied for two common gases, namely, N2 and CO2, which show distinct features and are compared to expecte ...

Plasmon-induced near-infrared fluorescence enhancement of single-walled carbon nanotubes

Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Giulia Tagliabue, Alessandra Antonucci, Shang-Jung Wu, Theodoros Tsoulos, Sayyed Hashem Sajjadi, Amirmostafa Amirjani

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) emit near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence that is ideal for optical sensing. However, the low quantum yields diminish the sensor’s signal-to-noise ratio and limits the penetration depths for in vivo measurements. In this ...
